Augll/l 12, Sb&k Deeds of Conveyance, for Sale a; this Office* ~ "" WASHINGTON, (Wilkes) Sept. 17. Extract of a letter from General Attder fon, one of the Comrn'jJhners en the part of the U. States , to treat with the Greek Indians , to General Mer;. wether , dated Conjee tah t (Chatehio chte) Augujl 18, 1803. We have not fucceedeJ in our miiTion, which maybe attributed to different canf es. The warmth and irritation of the opposition chiefs, on account of the capture of their leader, Bowles, no doubt was one of the leading cades. The chiefs of the opposition anticipated and counterafted the object of our meeting, by a kind of electioneering artifice. — 'i’hey held meetings before they met us at Oofcooche, and agreed, not only to refufe to part with land, if any should be applied for by the cotnmiflioners, but also to refufe to ratify the treaty made at Fort Wilkinfon —to re-jo‘.f the pay ment to be made to them tor the land, and to prevent the line being marked, a grceable to the treaty made at Fort WiU kinfon, as afprefaid. They appointed a speaker for their purpot.es, and were joined by all the towns on this, Hint river and the Sitnenolas —the head man and speaker ot the nation, are of the Upper Creeks. On the 1 zth instant, the coramiflioners delivered their talk in the square, in the prefencc of a very general affemblaye of r he chiefs, particularly thole in ihe opposition, who were there to a man. The speaker of the nation, chiefs and warriors of the Upper Creeks had not been conlulted* nor had they uir,y knowledge of the xneafures which were to be pursued by the opposition. 'When our talk was delivered in the square by the Interpreter, the speaker ot the op position immediately began to reply— the speaker and chiefs of the Upper Creeks seemed as much surprised as we were at the novelty of their proceedings. The opposition kept the government lor two days; but the speaker ot the nati on, and chiefs of the Upper Creeks, came forward with spirit and firmnefs, and al though they behaved with great decency towards us, and to each other, yet in their debates upon several points, there appeared a greater degree of warmth than I ever saw in any council ot Indians. — The third day the opposition chiefs took us by the hand, for the lirft time, and gave us the ceremony of the black drink. The opposition persisted in refufing to receive the payment for their land, which was given us in the square by the speak er of the nation, who, with his people, the Uppet Creeks, were ready to receive their part of pay for the land ; and re queued notice when the line would be marked; and allured us and thfc oppositi on chiefs, that they would attend and fee it done. In Ihott, the Upper Creeks seemed to take the lead after the iwo firlt days, which I think they wiil keep until things have got right in the nation. The war between England and France Teems to be a circurmlance from which the opposition have drawn great encourage ment. They firmly believe the British will come, and they will experience the sweets of old times. All the talk of the opposition plainly difeovered this se cret. For the firll two or three days, at lead they appeared to be jealous that we had kept back part of our million —they seemed to think we would be engaged in the war, and that we were inftruc'icd to secure their aid in bebalt of the United States. From the whole v e think the Credc nation will become right in a little time —things seem to he taking a right turn ; but time mull he allowed. This treaty happened in a very bad time—l am of o pinion it would have fucceeikd if it had been kept back a few months longer.— General Wilkinson was not here, nor have we had any official information of the caiifes which prevemed his attend ance j but | dat wvil this couid $ GEORG JJ. he no har again!! our fiiccecding—had the President of the United States been here in person, the event mutt have been the fame. I told you. General, I was not a little furprifedat the prejudices, w hich I found some of the citizens of Georgia had re cent!" imbibed againil the presiding agent in this country. As I told you, 1 tlvVt them t'alfe.-I was induced to think fofrom fcveral rcafons, First, from my know ledge of the man. Second, from my know, ledge of the very great and elfential ser vices he h.;d rendered to the United States in general, and to the (late of Georgia, in particular, since his firft rcfidencc in this agency ; as well as from a verv dig nified umrafter, firmly efiahliflied by a long cotirfeof ufetulnefs in public life Thofc were my impreilions, by the causes I have mentioned; notwithstanding, I have iuduftrloufly'applied myfelf to fte through the whole proceedings of the present agent. He very willingly and politely laid before me a journal of all the proceedings, worth noting, since he entered the agency. 1 have carefully and minutely examined the whole, and if you can give credit to my profcfltons upon the fubjeff, 1 can affurcyou ppon my honor, that his whole conduct and proceedings, as an officer of the United States, (as f..r as they have come to my knowledge, and his conduil as a public agent could not be concealed front filch opportunities of information as 1 have met wdrh since. I have been in this agency) is not only juf tifiajjle, bur highly ufcful and praife-wor. thy. Eulogium is'noparrof my aim, 1 would only wish that the citizens cf Georgia, who have imbibed thofc mistak en prejudices, would flop, inform them selves of the truth; that they may he grateful to the man who advocates their rights, and not withhold the tribute of juftioc from an agent, who is not only disposed to serve them, but who is emi nently qualified for that purpofc, in a way in which un.h services are so necelf.iry and so definable, both on the parr of Georgia, and the United States ; and for such services, as so few of our citizens are pofleffed of adequate qualifications to perform. It is said that fomc of your people fay, that gen. Wilkinson has said, if it had not been for gen. Pickens and col. Haw kins, the Indians would have confcnted to have made Ocmulgee the line, by the treaty at Fort Wilkinson. I have consi dered this, only as a vague report —I have not thought that gen. Wilkinson ever told such a thing. Be that as it may, however, 1 am well perfiaaded there is not the fmaileft foundation in truth, for any such report, I have seen all the pro ceedings, and know both the gentlemen implicated, therefore, no doubt can rest upon my mind. You must know, fir, that I cannot be interested in making this representati on to you. I have done it from a love of justice, and without any other mo tive. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . ’ r HOUSE OF COMMONS, J UNE 27. Interejiing Debate, The order of the day was called for on the Army of Refcrve Bill. The bill was taken up and referred to a committee of the whole house, colonel Standly being called to the chair. The secretary of 'war mentioned the se veral amendments which it was his inten tion to introduce upon the different claufcs of the bill, '[’he total number of fight ing men in Great. Britain, he said was 900,000 —that of England and Wales was 750,000. By the militia acls, per- Tons were fubjeft to the militia ballot from the age of 1 B to 45 ; and, by the present bill, all from 16 to 45 would meet the ballot, and thofc on whom it , fell be fiibjcvi to fcf or sup- [VoL.XVm.

Persons above 41* year.'* and of fufHcicnt opulence, to p;;y 501. affefled taxes, would by this bill be lub- to the bailor, not to lerve personally, but by fubftitutc only. 'l’he fine for a person not forcing, tjor finding a fubfti tuiC; was by the militia adts a: 151. by this bill it is to be Vailed to 201. Th» Secretary Hated all the particulars In which this bill differed from the militia bill, and then the committee procccdctf to confidcr thofeveral clauses. “Colonel Craufurd, conceiving*th.it it would operate very [lowly if his Majeflr was to wait for the voluntary offers of persons belonging to this army of refervc to enter into the regiments of the line, and - wtfhed a power to transfer them ref ; those regiments, to be veiled in his M.t. ( jelly: If there was not a regular army to oppose the enemy on his landing, an I he landed on the coast of Kent or Suffolk* he might caiily gain poffelfion of London. I lit re was at this moment a fufficicncy of finall veffds in the ports and rivers c£ Holland to bring over 100,000 men. These veffds were as well adapted to this purpose as if they were cxprefsly built foe it; they were manned with excellent Tea men, and being fiApently employed to bring filh to our markets, and tocttch fifh on our coails, they had pilots on board them as well acquainted with tholes coaffs and the harbors upon them, as any pilots the 'Trinity house could furnifh Bur if 60,000 men were landed, thac number would be fufficient to decide thp fate ot a battle which would decide th» fate of the nation. Every person wh;> knew any thing of battles was aware that an army of 60,000 men was as good foe an engagement as an army of 140,000 though certainly the larger army‘would do more in the long run of a campaign. In the experience which he had had in the ialt war, he had never known more than 60,000 of the French or Andrian troops engaged ar one time. In Amcri | ca there was no place by which the com. ted could be decided, [fit could he de cided by the fate of New. York, if would have terminated on the death of fir W, Howe ; if it could be decided by the fata ot Pniiadelphia, it would have been ter minated by the battle of Brandywine. The case was different here. If London was in the power of the enemy, the fate of the country was decided. (A cry of No ! No ! He (liotdd conceive that if the enemy was able to reach London, with Dover and Calais in his poffdlion, little hope could be with rcafon fuid to remain. He did not lock upon the mi litia as equal to troops cf ihe line, nor as fit to engage the species of troops that would he brought again If them. Mr. M f Naughton rose to make a few observations upon what had been thrown out by an honorable member opposite (co lonel Craufurd) with refpcCt to the Cap ture of London. He would alk that ho norable member, whether, if the enemy did take London, they would also taka the Heel and the spirit of the country ? ( d cry of hear , hear !) There were men in Ireland, there were men in Scotland, and in England, that would dispute every inch of ground with an invading foe, ani he was confident that before the country could be fuhdued, these men (hould ba driven into the sea, (hear, hear!) he had heard much of the mediation of Ruflh, of Austria, and Prullia, but he hoped no peace would be made until our presump tuous enemy should try the experiment of invading this country, and he convinced, by the refulr, of the impollibiiity of mak ing any serious impression upon the Unit ed kingdom, by an attempt to invade if, (hear, hear !J If peace should be made before, the enemy , :kl keep the threat of invasion over our ocad in terrcrem t and continue, perhaps, to hold the language cf dilation, should we not he dilpofe l to surrender our independence, (hcar > I hear !J But the nation was not to be in- I timidated ; the people were dlfpofed, ami
