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.

(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.’ LATEST FROM FRANCE. New York, July 16.

Captain West, of the schooner Alary, arrived here yes terday, in 9 days from Havana, politely furnished 'the - “egulwlayeof%e jhia 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.” 1816. 158, John W.
