affairs in this agency. I have row* the

and Choftaws; that on the 24th the

with their leader W. A. Bowles, at their
head, arrived, and that on thei3th was

vnder a strong guard of Indians, by or
der of the chiefs, to governor Tolch, of
Pensacola, to answer for his crimes 3-
gaintt the fnbjcfts of his Catholic majesty

1 wrote your Excellency on the 30*,U

irons, by order of the chiefs, and sent
under a strong guard of Indians to govern
or Tolch, of Pensacola, to anf*er for
his crimes againll the fubjefta cf his Ca
thoilc Majesty in East and Weft-Fiorida.
As fonn as the event took place a general
. murmur, for the day only, run through
the Chiefs in opposition. Vy ith the even
ing, by the prudent conduct of theCnun
cii of the Nation, the whole subsided,
and they were brought to take the Unit
ed States and Spain by tlie hand in frienJ
(hip, and to join in a folcmrv declaration
of the National Council, 11 that they
were resolved on eternal peace with all
the world ; that when they were dead
and gone their children might grow up
in peace, repeat and remember this talk,
and take it to the end of the world.”
I heard a few days part that my having
fomc property near Fort Wilkinson has
been a fubjeft of animadversion on the
part of feme members of your Lcgiffiitcrc.
The place there [Hawkins’s Springs] was
afiigned me by (he chiefs of this agency
for my accommodation as agent fix years
pad, has been occupied generally by the
military or myfclf, for public purposes.
As soon as the lines are run, and the mi
litary arc removed, my property will ac
company them, and whether they remove
or not, as soon as you can take pofieflion
of that country I intend my claim to
cease, and my property to leave it.
The Indians will be ready to run the
line as soon as orders can be given for
that purpose and communicated to the
speaker of the nation.

Accounts from Bourdeaux, to the Bth of
May, leave us still in uncertainty rela
tive to the iffuc of the negociation be
tween France and England. If it be
tcu«, however, as these accounts date,
that the Engliih Ambassador had left Pa
ris, we may presume that hoftilitics have
commenced already in Europe- Through
the fame channel we receive the news,
which we could with to be confirmed, of
Loulfiana being ceded by Buonaparte
to the United States, la consideration
of three millions of dollars, and France
being exonerated from all claims for spo
liations, on the part of American citi
zens. The friends of government are
very sanguine on this head, and will, it
is expected, be gratified with the celfion
of the Florida*, at lead.

The citizens of Pennsylvania feel great

mas Bernard Todd, son ot Djr. Henry
Todd, formerly of Virginia.—This
young gentleman man was born to prof,
peds more flattering than those that com
monly fall to the lot of man ; and but
for the early death of a father, and the
over fondnefs of a tender and affedion
ate mother, his life would have been
highly honorable to himfelf, and benefi.
cial to his country. His heart by nature
was formed for conviviality and philan
thrope*, and unaccustomed to reflraint, (so
ncceifary to youth) he, at too early a
period of his life, alfociated himfelf to
the cheering glass, which in this in
ftar.ee, as in every other one, disarms a
man for great performances. As h's
vices were very few, and his virtues ma
nv, then let the former be iramerfed in
the latter —and may his foul live forever !

pletc and well aliened supply cf prin:xa» f

nicating to his friends and the community ■
iirgenersl, that he intends toelUhlift* I
tinting-office in this place for th*
purpose of pubiilhing a news-fapek, so I
icon as a competent number of ft I feriferg
can be procured ; to be conduced on fuels
principles as are calculated to aid the ex.
tenuon of political and ufeful infoimatjoit,
and at the fame time affording a Source of
rational amafement. *
It will be the conflant andondeviating !
aim of the fubferiber, to conflaA his pa.
per in such a manner, as to steer clear cf I
party or political prejudices, or of favour,
ing the views of one party more than an
other, while a free difcuilion of public
meafurcs will ever be admitted. What,
ever may be the political principles that
aAuate and influence the mind of the fub
feriber in his private capacity, yet in the
capacity of printer, impartiality and can
dor will be the pole-star to which his I
views and energies (hall be direfled. A \
steady and indefatigable adherence to this 1
principle cannot fail of being productive
of many advantages. The reader will
have an opportunity of examining into
conflitfling and jarring reports, and there
by be the better enabled to form a more
correct and fatisfaftory judgment on mat
ters of national importance, or on fubjefts
that engage and intcreft the feelings of the i
community. It is from a lource like this,,
that the violent prejudices of the mind
are to be correded, the undemanding im
proved, and judgment matured. Un rr
the influence of this principle the fubfori
ber flatters hlmfclf with a fond hope of
, receiving and meriting the patronage of
■ his friends and the public. He anticipates
with the utmost affbrancs,. from the ar
rangements already made, to be able ta
accommodate his readers with a detail of
the luted European, events, and the cadi
eft domestic occurrences claiming notice ;
and (hall also study to engage and please the
attention of those indifferent tothejaring
of politics, by a careful and timely selec
tion of moral and entertaining publica
tions. In the diffufion of general fatis
faftion and amusement, he will not only
be affkluous in poffefftng himfelf of news,
paper information, but will beg leave to
lolicit the aid of his literary friends, who
can fumidi him with any production cal
culated to please or edify. To avoid di£.
appointment, it may be well to observe,
that all fcarrilous and pcrfonal inventive,
calculated to excite indignation and per
sonal resentment will be avoided—all
publications calculated to bring the gov
ernment of the United States into disre
pute and contempt, will be carefully sup
pressed.
Perhaps it may be supposed vanity and
preemption in me, to eftablilli a press in
this place, where there are already three,
perhaps as many as can be well fupportei
—But entirely a different principle influ
ences and atfuates my condafl, to wit e
attachment to the place of my nativity,
and other prejudices not eaffly refilled and
not necelf iry to particularife.
The conditions of the paper will be
made known in the proposals.
