Charfefonvn, The (mall pox continues among
the Creek Indians, and has carried off a great many in the
towns near the Albama fort. All accounts represent the
Creeks as well inclined and peaceable.
Letters from Panfacola and Mobille inform us, that they
are now convinced none of the Chadaws were concerned in
the attack made on Major Loftus j those Indians are likewise
*ery peaceable: fome months ago, when a breach between us
and the Creek Indians seemed not far distant, the Cuffa*
daw or Stinking Lingo Indians, who lived under protecti
on of the Creeks, unwilling to be brought into a war, left
their habitations and went towards the Chadaw countryj
they are now fettled on the branch of Mobille river where the
Tombigbee fort is situated, on the route from Mobille to that
garrison, and have behaved in the molt friendly manner to
such Engliih as have had occasion to pass that way, and it
is thought will be of great service in awing such of the French
ified Chadaws as may be inclined to do mifehief, On Sa
turday the firft party of French protefUnts, who lately ar
rived here, confiding of 21 men well armed, under the com
mand of an Ensign, with a few of their women, will set out
of town with two waggons loaden with their baggage and am
munition ; and provilions for the march, in order to begin
their settlement, and prepare for the reception of the remain
der, who arc to follow in about 3 weeks. We hear that Capt.
Calhoun,’ with a detachment of rangers, has orders to meet
them an J give them every kind of auTilance on their firft arri
val at the place where their town is to be built,

SIR,
IT is to no purpolb to dispute with those who rc relblved
they will not be convinced; and our Lover of Truth's
lad performance, confiding of nothing but groundless afler
tions, cant, bombast, and empty found, surely is not de
fending of any particular reply; I therefore, on my part,
end the debate, tearing the excerpt from my letter our au
