over the State aforefaid.
A Proclamation.
WHEREAS the hostile disposition of
fume of the Cri ek Indians is evinc
ed by the following information
which has been officially transmitted to me,
viz. That a boy named James Rorey was
murdered on or about the 4th inst. by a party
of Indians, at a plantation lately occupied by
James Scarlett, deceased, in the county of
Greene - that several valuable horses have
been carried off, and a rifle-gun forcibly taken
by Indians, supposed to belong to the afore
faid nation—That a john Bradffiaw and three
other persons who weie chosen by and ac
companied Daniel W. Eafly, (who had ob
tained my pass-port to go into the Creek na
tion in quest of horses stolen from his neigh
bourhood) after they had arrived in the said
nation, and received a pass from Alexander
M‘Gillevray, Esq. who was then at the Tuc
kabatchies, fuppoiing it an additional protec
tion to their persons, as they had been in
formed that their lives were in danger—were
twice fired upon by a party of Indians, on
the second night after leaving the Tuckabat
chies aforefaid, on their return.
AND WHEREAS the inroads and depre
dations committed have aftually taken place
since the Indians referred to, rnuft have been
informed of the late treaty held at New-Ybrk :
in order therefore to prevent as far as may be
future violence and outrage, and any indivi
dual retaliation that might take place, I have
therefore thought fit to issue this ray Procla
mation ftriftly enjoining and requiring all of
ficers and others in the frontier counties, to
give notice to Indians that may from time to
time be on the frontiers, not to come armed
into the fettled parts of this Rate, until the
pleasure of the P'refident of the United States
be known, touching the aforefaid ravages.
