NEW-YORK, OBoitr id. Ycderday was launched at the (hip yards, a beautiful new lhip, called the Olive Branch, of 220 tons burthen, the property of Mr. G. Barnewall, of this city. A lilver mine has, not long since, been dis covered in Conway, in Massachusetts ; the ore proves very good. The mine spreads over thirty acres of land. AVGUSTA, Nov . 22. NINETY-SIX, August 28, 1788. To Alexander M l Gi!Jivray , Esq. and others the Chief Men and Warriors of the Creek Nation. OUR lad to you, dated at Fort Charlotte, July 16, 17S8, appointed the 15th of next month for holding the treaty; every effort on our part has been exerted to effect it by that time, but from very cogent real'ons we find it impossible; two powerful ones are—the necessary dispatches from the pre sent Congress not arriving in time, without which the supplies for putting the treaty into execution, upon a liberal footing, would be entirely infumcient—next the change of go vernment taking place since ; and the proba bility of our receiving imlrudions very thort ly under the auspices of the New whole fiat in this, as well as in every other case, will be more permanent than that of the expiring one. Other circumstances might be urged, but these, we think, will have due weight with you for prolonging the time of treaty, which we with to make agreeable to both parties. We have no objection to put it off to the spring of next year, which we hope will meet your approbation. In the interim we wait your answer, and can assure you, hostilities will cease on the part of Georgia again!! your nation ; the fame, we exped, will be mutually observed on your part, as it appears to be the wilh of your people, as well as ours, to come to a peace. We fubferibe ourselves Your humble servants, RICHARD WINN, ANDREW PICKENS. GEORGE MATHtAVS. N. B. We inclofe to you a Georgia paper -—in it you will fee the Governor’s Procla mation refpefting the treaty. IT - A Gentlemen^ J HAVE received your letter of the 28th Au gust, wherein you desired rhat the propoled treaty between us may be deferred until the spring cf the next year.—The reasons which you give us for that meafureare good, and to which we give our alfent, hoping that a New Congress, ading on the principles of the New Constitution of America, will set every thing to rights between us on the mod equitable foot ing, so that we may become real friends to each other, fettling on the fame land, and having but one interest. We expeded that upon Mr. Whitefield’s return, a truce of arms would have been im mediately proclaimed in Georgia, and cannot account for the delay of that measure—in fad there has been no observance of it, from that time till now : They have been driving our hunting camps and plundering them of horses, lkins, &c. and it is but lately that a Coweta ! Indian brought me a paper which he found (luck upon a tree near Flint river, and which, upon a close examination, I found to be a threatening letter addressed to me : It is wrote with gun-powder on the back of an adver tisement, and a great part of it has been ef faced wbilft drying and by carrying it. In it is exprefted somewhat concerning “ war 5 * an ! “ your savage fubjeds ;”-it proceeds thus : « An eftabliftiment of peace you mult not < ( exped until all our damages are made good ** at the treaty ; and fatisfadion we will have €t for our grievances from a!! which I forefee great difficulty in attempting to pre serve a Arid suspension of hostilities, and can only assure you, that we (hall regulate our. selves by the conduit of the Georgians, and ad according to circumftances,—The writing which I mentioned ii ftgned Sam.

Such ael9 of violeuce committed, whilst Congress, through you, is holding out to all the nations and tribes pro fedions of the most friendly mture, make it appear to all, that such profeflions are only deceitful snares to lull them into a security whereSvthe Americans may the mote eulily deflroy them. —De not offended, Gentlemen, at the remark—it is a truth that is univetfal among the Indians I am with great refpert, Gentlemen, Your moll humble Servant, ALEXANDER.
