that the president will decline being Conlideied a

1 SAVANNAH, July ts.
WE promised our readers in our last, some par
ticulars on the fubjedl of the failure of the late
treaty.—The Indians we are informed, were pre
judiced in the nation against the disposal of the
lands, by some unfriendly persons; and reports
declared to. them, among a variety of others, that
they were to encounter the Georgia militia when
they came down to treat.. Whether this was the
reason or not, of certain regulations of the federal
commissioners, we cannot fay; but by those regu
lations, the commissioners of the (late were for
bidden to enter the Indian encampment, or hold
conversations with them, without the pafiport or
permit of one of the commissioners of the United
States; and a finall militia guard, which the exe
cutive had ordeted for the protection of the Indian
articles, procured by the Hate, tor the purposes of
the treaty, were forbid landing with their arms,
altho’ within the adtual limits and ordinary juris
diction of the state—at which, offence was taken
by the state commissioners, as infringing the rights
and leff-ning the confcquence of die state, and de
barring the commissioners from the means cf conci
liating the affedlion of the Indians, and thereby
procuring the object of their million. It also ap
pears that the place for the talks, was at firft with
in the garrison of Colerain, but was afterwards al
tered to Mufcoghe, within the Indian encamp
ment, where the commiffioneis of Georgia had no
access, without a permit from one of ihe Federal
commissioners, and which it seems, cuir flare com
missioners did not condescend, thinking it beneath
the dignity of the*.flate,-to request. The Indians
drew up their talk in writing, in the absence of the
state commissioners, at Mufcoghe, and did not de
liver it viva voce, as is ever usual among Indians, but
delivered it through the commissioners of the Uni
ted States; although the next day, they gave a
talk viva voce , to the commissioners of the United
States, in answer to the prefiJent’s invitation.
The Indians in that answer to the talk of Geor
gia, refufe to give up -their lands, and in another
effort made by the commissioners of Georgia, they
were flopped by the federal piquet; and after
reaching Mufcoghe, under the auspices of h fede
ral officer, and entering on the fubjeft of the pur
chase, they were told by Aleck Cornels, a chief
in the Creek Nation, and one of the United States
Interpreters, that it was useless to fay any more
about the lands, that they came determined not to
part with it, and that they did not want to heat
any more about it. This the Bird-tail king after
wards confirmed, declaring that their refufal was
fixed on in the nation. iThe commissioners of this
state have, we are told, in consequence, protested
against the proceedings of the commissioners of the
United States, and the superintendent .of Indian
affairs; and have further protested against the pay
ment, or liability of payment, by the llate of
Georgia, of any share of the expences attending
the treaty, as not having had a fair, open, and ho
nourable opportunity of purchase from the Indi
ans.
. It is said the law of the United States, inserted
in this day’s paper, for regulating trade and inter
course with the Indian tribes, arrived at Colerain
during the treaty, and was very forcibly explained
by the commissioners of the United States. Had
the.lndians been disposed to cede their lands prior
thereto, this law was fufficient to make them re
trad. •'•We hope our citizens will endeavour to
preserve peace and harmony, by refpeding the
laws of the United States; but how far the frailties
of human nature will permit our citizens on- the
Frontier, to reflratn-from crossing the line after
their own property, and perhaps within their own
view, in possession of an Indian chief, when that
property may be the only Negro, or onlyplougfi
horse, and of course the only dependence of a
poor man, with a numerous family for their fub
fiftance; or how far they will permit his neighbours
quietly to behold this industrious man's being con
fined in a federal garrison, and carried to North or
South-Carolin.i for trial, remains yet in embrio.
Notice to the Relations and Friends of Jem

THAT the Superintendent of Indian affairs
having redeemed the said Tempett Ellice or
Ellison, from captivity, among the Creek Indians,
is now at his house at the town of St. Mary’s,
