traced by treaties,
not decide upon
respects the Chickasaws; .
United States were at that period, ignorant of any claim
niade by the Creeks to the lands now in dispute. It may
also he inferred, that the government were disposed to
believe the Cherokee title superior to that of the Chicka-
saws. When it is considered, that the Creeks posses
sed the sea coast of Georgia, and that the Cherokee pos
sessions extended south of the high shoals of the Appa-
lachee, and intersected the Coosau at the Ten Islands, it.
appears highly imorobabie that the Creeks should have
enveloped the Cherokee lands on the west, by extending
to the Tennessee river, west of the Coosau. This impro
bability is greatly increased by the consideration, that
•this claim of the Creeks is connected with, and principal
ly rests upon, their assertion, that the Cherokees never
owned any lands south of the Tennessee river. This
is so far from being correct, that all the settled parts of
Georgia, west of little river, have been purchased from
the Cherokees, as far south as the high snoals of the
Appalacliee; all of which, it is believed, are .south of the
bend of Tennessee, unless the northern section of
franklin county should be an exception.
In the year 1786, shortly after the Cherokee treaty, before
stated, the same commissioners concluded a treaty with
the Chickasaws, in which Chickasaw hunting grounds
art defined as commencing on a point of the Cherokee
boundary, on the dividing ridge between the 1 ennessee
and Cumberland rivers, northeast of the mouth of Duck
river, running on the said ridge, to the Ohio, down that
river, to the Mississippi, and down the Mississippi, to
the Natchez district. The definition of their hunting
grounds in this treaty, includes no part of the bend of
Tennessee south of the Duck river, and no part of the
lands Claimed by the Cherokees, which, it is contended
by the Tennessee papers, is comprehended within the
Creek session, ‘
In the year 1794, general Washington, then president
of tiie United States,'executed letters patent, in which the
Chickasaws are described as living upon, and owning the
Lmls in the bencl of Tennessee, as far east as' to include
all the waters of Elk river, and to cross the Tennessee at
the Chickasaw Old Fields; thence across a neck of land
to Ttnchacunda Creek, a southern branch of the Ten
nessee. and up the same to its source; then to the waters
'llpmbigby, that is, to the west fork of Long Leaf Pine
a3t, and down it, to the line of the Chickasaws and
ot
Cri
Cnoctaws, a little below the Trading Path. The boun
dary described in these letters patent, embrace most of
the land claimed by the Cherokees, and supposed by the
Tennessee papers to be comprehended within the Creek
cession, and a great deal more, extending to the Black
\Y arnor.
We are wholly ignorant of the grounds upon which
these letters patent were issued; but it is manifest, that
general Washington »vas tnen either unacquainted not
only with the Creek claim, now set up for the first time,
but with the Cherokee title to the lauds lying in the bend,
of Tennessee also, which is clearly recognized by the
treaty of 1785; or tfie'evidence produced, must have
clearly established their title, in opposition to that of the
Cherokees. I( 13 not ail object of importance to deter
mine the validity of their respective ciaims in the course
of tins enquiry.
Such is the written or recorded evidence which the
case presents. On the part of?the Creeks, it is contend
ed that they had a setriement on the Tennessee, some
time since tiie year 1783, and that this settlement, and
tile path crossing that river some where opposite to
Madison county, called the Creek Path, are evidences of
their title. To this it so ay be replied, that the Cherokees
have also had settlements on the soiitli side of the bend
of Tennessee; and that the Old Fields, called emphatical
ly the Chickasaw Old Fields, in treaties and public doc
uments of the nation, are proofs equally strong in favor
.of each ef these nations. It is true, mat the Chickasaws
now sav that the Cherokees never bounded up<>U their
lands south of the Tennessee. To make this declaration,
they have the strongest inducements. -Is tiie United
States have fixed a line between the Creek cession and
the Cherokees, a^regard for consistency will not admit of
tneir reviving that claim against the Chickasaws, for the
•s. me lands. If they can, therefore, defeat the Cherokee
churn, their own remains undisputed. But tills is not the
on :V consideration which leads them to make this asser-
vation.. 1C the CiuSokee claim is established on tiie
s nth of Tennessee, as far as Caney Creek, and the Flat
R. k, their, title to the north of that river, as far as the
m eith of Duck river, is still more clearly established.—
Th a claim, whatever it is worth, is the property of the
United States. Under these circumstances, it is mani
fest. that the declarations of the Chickasaws are entitled
to but little consideration.
If the Cherokee claim is established on the north of
Tennessee, wc obtain a country nearly of the same extent,
and pc Wraps of greater fertility than that which is left in
the possession of the Cherokeeson thesouth side of that
river, in addition to the evidence already stated in support
of: ue Cherokee title, it appears by the minutes of Indian
proceedings, furnished colonel Meigs by colonel Haw-
kin. that in the i-eur 1802, it was agreed in council by the
C'-eeks, that the Cherokee claim crossed the Coosau at a
point a little below the Ten Islands. We ‘repeat, diat
this recognition does not establish the title of the Cher-
okt s against the Chickasaws, or against any other tribe;
but:', nevertheless places the United States in the pre-
s-.- it instance, in a situation extremely delicate. What
vjwld be said of the conduct of an individual who, for a
vui i hxe consideration, should undertake to exert his in
fluence to adjust a controversy bet wc-en two ofnis neigh
bors, to a tract of land, so as to secure the title to one
oi 'diem wiio, depending on lus. exertions, discovering a
laic: : >;ta- to the same land, possesses iiimself of it, and
sen.,/ to toe exclusion of both iitigaiis? What still
wo a: 1 h-. s mi, were lie, assuming the right of judging in
Ins <",v i c lose, to decide in ins own favor; anti that no ap
peal could be made from his decision? Sucn would have
been nixciseiy the situation of the government, had it pur
sue l the course recommended by the writers in the Ten
nessee papers.
In the year 1806, the Cherokees ceded to the United
i States, all their lands lying in the bend of Tennessee west
to! t ie eastern boundary of Madison county, with the ex
ception of two reservations. The consideration stipula
ted by the United States for this grant, was first, to ob
tain, the relinquishment of tiie Chickasaw title to those
reservations; and, second, to endeavor to obtain from the
Cnickasaws, the acknowledgement of Caney Creek, and
f iv Fiat. Rock. a3 the boundary between the two tribes.
In tne year 1814, when neither of these stipulations had
been complied with by tiie United State, the Creek ces-
i s on is made; which it is contented by those writers,
{comprehends the lands in dispute between the Che-
-r.,kces and Chickasaws, arid ?’ which dispute, the
United States, for a valuable consideration had
ftriund itself to endeavour to have settled by the
acknowledgement of the Cherokee title. If the
■government dad thought it consistent with the principles
rdf justice or compatible with its honor, to decide their
f own cause, without regarding the claims of tlfc Chero-
kets, the weakness of that tribeytyouid have secur
ed their submission to the decision&A different course
has been pursued, and we are per** J ’ J “ ' "
informed unprejudiced mind will
in which it originated. •
Knowing then, as we. do, by authentic evidence, that
tire Cnerokee lands extend as far south as the high shoals
of the Appalacliee, and-tliat it crosses tiie Coosau a little
below tiie Ten Islands, and considering the little reli-
ance wtiich is to be placed upon the interested evidence
produced b v the parties, upon the spur of the occasion,
and the vague nature of all traditionary evidence in re
lation to the boundaries of unsettled lands, we do not
see what the government could have done better than
to agree to run from the Ten Islands on the Coosau, to
the Fiat Rock, on Bear Creek leaving the question of
title between the Chickasaws and Cherokees unsettled.
The invariable policy of the government has been to pur
chase the title from aliwhe tribes who claim lands which
have been ceded by another tribe ostensibly possessing
it. In the case of the Cherokee cession of 18u6, the lands
have not been settled, because the Chickasaws claim it
also. In cases' of this nature, the controversy must be
adjusted by mutual concessions, or one party must pur-
Ciiase the claim of the other, or they must remain unset*
fed- Where an equitable adjustment cannojt be obtained,
might be good policy to postpone the discussion, the
W both parties remaining unimpaired. ..Such
uas been the‘policy of the government, in relation to that
^, S5l “ n ; . But where the government has obtained lands,
etch it is important to havesettled, but which cannot be
one without an adjustment of boundary, as in the late
vreek cession, it is highly important, ttuY the boundary
aded, that every well
iprove of the motives
northern section of that cession, before the line wswde-
fined and marked. From this view of the subject, the
inducement to an early adjustment of the pontroversy of
boundary which had arisen, appears to have heen strong.
It may be proper to remark, that the treaty cedes no
thing in form, or in fact: that it is a treaty made for the
adjustment of boundary, and not for the cession of terri
tory. \. L.

“TIIE BULWARK OF OUR RELIGION.”
It is whimsical enough to hear federalists and
English partizans in this country continually
bruiting, that the British government is the
••main pillar of Christianity,'’ and adducing, as
proof of that affirmation, the missionary estab
lishments at the Cape of Good Hope and Sictra
Leone, in Hindustan and many of the islands in
the Indian Ocean. “How benevolent! how hu
mane! (exclaim these adepts in deception) is it
thus to extend the benefits of the gospel to the
poor unenlightened heathens—to take the film
of ignorance from their eyes, that they may see
the truth!—to draw them from wickedness to
holiness and heaven! The nation that cherishes
and protects such undertakings will surely reap
a rich harvest and become the peculiar care of
tiie Most High.”
The propagation of Christianity is certainly a
laudable undertaking, and its promoters (when
not urged by sinister motives) arc, as philan
thropists, entitled to esteem and admiration.—
The greater part of the individuals, at present,
engaged in missionary labors, we believe, are sin
cere in their professions, and seek no other ob
ject but the welfare of mankind. But widely
different is the opinion we entertain of the Bri
tish government. 1
Hottentots, Kaffers,
the southern section of Africa, continue their
wandering life, subsisting on the produce of
their herds and the chase, England can derive
a > revenue from them, neither by taxation nor
trade; but impress on their minds the tenets of
Cnristianity, civilization follows, industry in
creases, trade commences, and a revenue comes
into the coffers of government.
The colony of Sierra Leone was planted in
1792, with the avowed intention of cultivating
vVest-India and other tropical productions.—
Hut it was found that the climate was too debi
litated for Europeans ever to become the tillers
of its soil; and nothing could be expected from
the exertions of the Maroons, who had been
brought thither from Nova-Scotia, on account of
their indolent habits. Repeated attempts, made to
induce the natives to settle among the colonists,
had met with but small encouragement, when, i i
1794, a French squadron destroyed the settle
ment. Next year it was settled anew; between
which period and the commencement of out - late
war, the colony seemed to interest the British
government but little; and, of course, its growth
was proportionally slotv. But, on the commence
ment of hostilities, the English cabinet became
apprehensive lest the supply of cotton for, its
home manufactures should fail. Snip loads ot
cotton seed were sent to the coast of Africa, to
be cultivated; but failed in producing the desir
ed end—the habits of the natives were averse
to the peaceable and industrious life uf the hus
bandman. To establish the cultivation of cot
ton among them, and to injure the cotton plant
ers in the southern states, it was thought first
necessary that some great mental revolution
should be brought about in the African; and
what is so adequate to the task as the endeavors
of zealous missionaries? They have met with
every encouragement that a wily and unprinci
pled government, which is ever ready to take ad
vantage oi any circumstance, honorable or dis
honorable, likelv to promote its interest, could
give. The countenance it gives to the missions
in the Indian Ocean is merely to render the is
landers more ductile, and obedient. On the
continent of Asia, they are dispersed among the
different Hindoo principalities an«i kingdoms,
where they usually become the favorites ot the
great. As the favor and protection they receive
depends pretty much on the good understanding
maintained between the court at which they re
side and the East-India Company, they watch
closely the manoeuvres of the chieftains; and are
punctual in transmitting their reports to the
heads of the missions to which they belong; and
as these withhold nothing from the knowledge ot
the government, the missionaries become the
unintentional but faithful spies of men, who on
the slightest pretext, dethrone and often slaugh
ter the poojr unoffending sovereigns.
These are Britain’s motives for protecting (as it
is called) the heralds of Salvation; but her aid is
never extended where there is no certain gain.
Witness, Spain, where her troops suppressed
the opposition to the iniquitous inquisition, and
actually were the instruments which re-estab
lished thiuf bloody tribunal—a tribunal acknow
ledged, even by the chdrch of England, to be the
most baleful and pernicious obstacle to the spread
of Christianity that the world has ever seen.
Witness her late treaties with Algiers and Tu
nis; in which she has encouraged, by the expec-
tion of gain, the pirates to continue their depre
dations on the persons of the Neapolitans and
Sardinians. What a pitiful excuse is made in
the following letter for lord Exmonth’s not ob
taining their release without ransom!—the dan
ger of attacking Algiers, on account of the num
ber of guns mounted on its batteries! Both
Decatur and Shaw, with but a few 6mail
vessels, have intimidated, the Dey into com
placency, and obtained the full extent of
their demands, while Exmouth, with six sail
of the line, and frigates, ketches and fire
ships, has not obtained a single concession!
He could, had he chosen, obtained the release of
every slave in the Barbary states without giving
a farthing for their ransom-—but stlch a pro-
ceedure would have made piracy a rather unpro
fitable profession, and deterred the corsairs*
from future aggression; which is far from the
yiah of Britain. The Pirates, q£ Barbary ate
severed, and the blood of the Christian must
flow. Such has been, such is, and such will be
the humanity, liberality, and kindness of (what
federalists call) ‘•‘■the Bulwark of our lizliinon.’

Loniiok, May 30.
The following is an extract of aprivate letter, dated
“Tunis Buy, Jipril 24.
“The contents of this letter-you will receive as assign
ing a reason, why the fleet bus not returned to England
ere this, as was generally expected. We all rendezvous
at Mahon, consisting of as follow:
“Boyne, 98, flag-shipg>f the commander-in-chief, cap
tain Janies Brisbane; Bombay, 74, rear-admiral sir C. V.
Penrose, captain Beazeiey; Berwick, 74, captain Bruce;
Ajax, 74, captain Miindv; Leviathan, 74, captain Briggs;
Montague, 74, captain P. Haywood; Tagus, captain
Deans Dundas; Clorinde, captain Pecheil; Erne, captain
R. Spencer; Pilot, captain Nicholas; Banterer, cap! .in
Ward; Sparrow-hawk, Burgoyne; Calypso, captain
son; four transports, with rocket-bo. ts, &c.
“Whilst nfaking the necessary preparations for sailing,
lord Exmoutli issued an order to the fleet, couched iti very
strong and animated terms, licscrioiug tne service upon
which fire were about to proceed, and assigned to each
ship the particular dutj that she would be expected to
perform, in order to effect ;t. We arrived at Aigitrs on
the 31st of March, having been preceded by the Tagus,
captain'Dundas, which ship had been appointed by the j
^commander-in-chief to convey a notification to the dey '
of his approach, and with what design, anti what were
the only terms lie had proposed to Inin. The dey not
only refused to listen to the overture, but would not
open the despatches, assigning, however, as his re* son
(curious as it may appear) because his uncle had died the
day before, having shot himself; and that, ?t that time,
he must call a divan, to consider of the despatches.
“Lord Exmouth replied in effect, that it was of no sort
of use to think of offering excuses, or of temporizing with
the demands—they must he comp lied, with; and as to the
divan, he (the dev) could cut off their heads at any mo
ment that he pleased; therefore, their counsel could not
have much to do with the matter. Whilst this reply was
under consideration, the fleet was ordered to prepare for
action, and be ready the next morning to anchor within
a cable’s length of the Mole and batteries. But as it came
on to blow very hard, and the wind right out of the
harbor, the fleet was prevented from moving; therefore,
lord Exmouth instantly determined to go on shore. In
a few hours aftei wards he came off again to the fleet, hav
ing’, by his firm and resolute conduct, obtained all the
principal terms that he required, to the following effect:
That all tiie Sardinian and Genoese slaves should be
emancipated at five hundred dollars a head, and all Nea
politans at one thousand dou rs a head. One-third of
the Neapolitans to be sent borne immediately—the re
mainder when paid for. That ihe dey should never go
to war with Sardinia (that power having placed itself un
der our naval protection) while peace remained between
the dey and England; and that should war be m ule with
either of the other powers, it should be carried, with : as
pect to prisoners taken, in tiie same maimer as is observ
ed by Christian nations.
“We here do not pretend to judge of die state policy
that dictated the i.dmir.i’s instructions, which should
prefer making terms with such cruei, despotic wretches,
rather than to seek to destroy all tee means they possessed
of effecting their wanton and liarel-hearted crimes; but
this we ail know, that Algiers is a very strong place, de
fended by two hundred and eighty-six guns, from sixtv-
eight to eighteen pounders; and, h..d not the object been
attained in the way it bus, it must have cost us a great
loss of lives, and this, too*,’before we couid have even ta
ken up our position, from the heavy flanking batteries
they have. The Mole is the* principal fort, upon which
diere are ninety-seven piece's of ordnance, in three tiers,
some of which are at the height of forty-five feet above
the level of tiie sea. They had besides, seven thousand
infantry, and five frigates and four corvettes ill the har
bor. t,
“ The Admiral had directed, that a proportion of sea
men and marines from each ship was to storm the lower
batteries, and spike tbe guns; wliiiSt another division,
with the rocket boats, should endeavor to destroy the
place. The crew of four ships entered into a view of the
combat with quite an enthusiastic feeling; they all : p-
peared to have an abhorred detestation of the unfeeling
cruelties committed by the Barbary states; many of them
had unfortunately, been their captives. I do assure you
it was truly interesting to witness the offers that were
cheerfully made by the men to undergo fatigues, or even
sacrifice life, in the cause of humanity. However, the
promptitude and decision of our chief intimidated the
dey, and he was prevailed upon to agree to the terms I
have mentioned.
“From Algiers we sailed on the 7th of April, and
arrived at Tunis on the 11th, on a similar cause. Here
lord Exmouth obtained ail the terms ttiat he demanded,
to their full extent—The Sardinian slaves to b e freely lib
erated; the Neapolitans at JjO hollars ahead. At both
places, the number of slaves released is about three
thousand. But what is even of more importance, a
foundation has been laid for the termination of Chris
tian slavery.
“The fleet, is now (21st of -April) under weigh to
proceed to Tripoli (except the Sparrow hawk, which goes
to England with dispatches:) and when we shall have
affected our negociations there, shall rendezvous at Cali,
in Sardinia; go from thence to Algiers, to obtain a revi
sion of a treaty by the dey with America, by* which an
undue advantage has been granted to that nation, as it
respects the disposal of their prizes in the dey’s ports;
and then we shall proceed to England, to be paid oft".—
The following ships, intended for the peace service, will
proceed to Malta: Bombay, 74, rear admiral sir C. V.
Penrose (until relieved by* the Queen, 74, from England;)
Tagus, Myrmidon, Satesiine, Erne and Wasp. Some
of the ships have have just joined us from England.—
The Tagus is to return to Algiers from Leghorn, for the
purpose of conveying presents from the now reigning
dey to the grand seignor, consisting of lions, tigers, Sec.
His petty sovereignty would not he acknowledged if he
did not make these tributary presents; and he has no ship
in a fit state to proceed to sea immediately. The Clorin
de has sailed fot* Civita Veccliia, and some of the releas
ed slaves are gone to Genoa in our transports. The Fa 1-
mouth, captain Festing, whicti arrive with depatches
from England, sailed the 18th instant, for Gibraltar and
St Helena. Captain Austen, liis officers, and crew of the
Phcenix, lately lost near Smyrna, have arrived here in
transports. The Sparrowhawk parts from tiie fleet this
afternoon.”
