Os the Campaign of the North Western
rfrmy, in the year 1812. Addressed to
the people of the United Stales.
No. V.
On the sixth of March, 1812, about a
month before I was appointed a General in
the army, I addressed another letter to the
government, through the Secretary ot the
department of war, in which 1 stated die
situation of the inhabitants on our frontier
settlements, and particularly those in the
‘ Territory of Michigan in which I pointed
out the expediency d orderin' a force lor
th-ir protection, aid biihliig a navy mi
Lake Erie su fir.ient to nrese ve the comma
nictation. Flic following is an extract trom
this lette r.
*■ If we cannot command the ocean, wr
can command the inland lakes id our coun
try. I have always been of the opinion, tha
we ought to have built as many arme
vessels on the lakes, as w uld have comman
ded them ; we have more interest in them
than the British nation, and can build ves
sels with more, convenience ”
The w!i tie of this letter is r -cited in ni'
defence, which has been published, and it i
certified to be correct by the department o
war.
After my appointment as a B-igadiV
General in the army, and before I lef
Washington to take the command of tin
north western army, I presented to the ad
ministration a letter cuntailing distinctli
my views, with respect to the destination
and operations of the forces placed undei
my orders, both in time of peace with Geal
Britain, an 1 likewise in the event of war will
that nation.
The circumstances of this communication
with the documents in proof ot them, are ful
ly related mmy defence bet >re the C--ur
M n tial, from page 33, to page 38, inclusive
In this letter I repeated the opinions, I Inn
.before given, that the force entrusted t> 1113
command, in time of peace with England
was su'licieut far the protection of the nor
them frontier against the savages ; and lik
wise, that Detroit, or a position on that rivei
or the west end of Lake Erie, was a suitable
station fir (hat object ; and for this obvi no
reason, that all the necessary supplies could
be easily furnished through the communica
tion of the lake. But in the event of war,
1 stated in the most explicit and strongest
terms the necessity of having a naval force,
superior to the enemy on the lakes ; —and
that without it, and unless it was followed
by detachments, to keep open tlie communi
cation, ami insure it supplies from () aio ;
and unless it was supported by co-operations
from other quarters, it could not bo able to
maintain itself at I) droit, much less carry
011 offensive operations in the enemy’s coun
try.
That I wished it farther clearly to be un
derstood by the government, that in the
event of war with England,, I did not con
sider this force in any degree adequate, ei
thcr to the invasion of Upper Canada, or for
the defence of our own territories. That it
was formed almost entirely of militia, undis
ciplined., and who had never seen any ser
vice. 1 then described the situation of the
country, and observed, that it would be dif
ficult, if not impossible, to send a force,
which would be sufficient, either for invas
ion or even defence, in the event of war
without the privilege of a communication
through Lake Erie. That as soon as a doc
laration of war should be made, that the com
munication would be entirely obstructed.—
Tnat in accepting (he command and lead
ing an arm v through that wilderness,it was
under the full expectation tint war would
nut be. declared, until such a naval foice
was provided, ns would preserve that com
muuication. It was farther stated that from
the conversation I had with the President
of the U. S. and the Secretary of the Navy,
from the circumstance of a navy agent hav
i ig been appointed on Lake Erie, and(Japt. :
Stewart, of the navy, having been ordered 1
to \\ ashington, lor the express ‘purpose of
giving him the command on the lakes, I had
the fullest confidence, that before a declaim
tion ot war was made, measures would be ta
ken tor the security ot that conimnnicalion.
That under these circumstances, I believed
the government would consider it a measure
dictated by true policy, and indeed indis
pensably necessary—as it was not at that
lime accomplished, and as every thin-' is
uncertain, until it is carried into effect,'and
a> I knew I was to be placed in a most criii
Cal situation, 1 observed, it the govern men'
should adopt a d.lf rent policy, and decLr.
wai, leaving to the British the command ui
tiie lakes, it would become indispensably ne- 1
cessuiy, as die next best measure, immedi
ately on ils declaration to make an invasio
of upper Canada, by crossing the Niagara
River with a largo army, sufficient to taki
possession of the whole province, and like
wise with large detachments, to reinforce
the army I commanded, in such a manner
as to preserve the communication by land ti
the state of Ohio. By this means the armv
at Detroit, might co-operate with the mail
army, which crossed the Niagara River, and
the whole province be subdued. In such
an event, the British naval force on Lake
Erie, would fall into our possession, as i
would have no harbours, and no means of
being furnished with necessary supplies.
That, if in the event of war, a naval force
should not be provided, or an invasion of
Canada should not be made, iu the manner
I have stated, by an army from Niagara, the
army 1 comm tinted would be led into a sit
nation, from which there would be no es
cape, that whole country, with all our mili
tary posts, would fall into the hands of the
enemy. That his regular force, militia, and
savages, with the facilities of the water com
munication, for rapid movements, and the
transportation ot necessary supplies, would
be fully equal to effect this object.
We publish the Treaty with the Creeks
lately ratified by the Senate. On ac

1 Articles of a convention, entered into
ami cmi Imled at the Indian Springs, he
-1 tween Dw-can G. Campbell, and James

i* the Union should remove to territory to be
us designated on the west side of the Missis
sippi liver, as well for the better protection
■' and security of said tribes, and their im
f provemeot in civilization, as for the pur
>e pose of enabling the United States, in this
I- instance, to comply with the compact en

I twenty-fourth day of April, in the year one
•1 thousand eight hundred and two: And the
it sait! Commissioners having laid the late
h Message of the President of the United
States, upon this subject, before a General
Council of said Creek Nation, t<> the end
I- that their removal might be effected upon
i t terms advantageous to both parties ;
Ami whereas the Chiefs of the Creek
-I Towns have assent'd to the reasonableness
y of said proposition, and expressed a wil-
I, liiigness to emigrate beyond the Mississippi,

, said CreeK Nation have considerable im- |
provements within the limits of the terri- ,
tory hereby ceded, and will moreover have j
to incur expenses in their removal, it is fur- ’
thcr stipulated, that, (or the purpose of ren- j
dering a fair equivalent for the losses and 5
inconveniences which said Na ion will sus- ,
tain by removal, and to enable them to ob
tain supplies in their new settlement, tne 1
United States agree to pay to the Nation -
emigrating trom the lands herein ceded, the ,
sum of four hundred thousand dollars, of
which amount there shall be paid to said (
party ot the second part, as soon as pracli- g
cable, after the ratification of this treaty,
the sum of two hundred thousand dollars.
And as soon as the said party of the sec- |
"lid part shall notify the Government of the I(

ly-tivc thousand dollars. And the second j

Art. 3 And whereas the Creek nation

sas, or Missouri Rivers—the territory op
upied by the Cherokees and Choctaws ex
cepted ; and if the territory so to be select
ed shall be in the occupancy of other Indi

■ the year eighteen hundred and twenty-six.
Art. 9. This treaty shall be obligatory on
■ the contracting parties, so soon as ihe same

: Whereas, by a stipulation in (he treaty ol
the Indian Springs, in 1821, there was a re
1 serve of land maue to include the ‘said In-
I dian Springs for (he use ot General \V illiam
M'lntosh, be it therefore known to all whom
• it may concern, that we, ihe undersigned
1 chiefs and head men of the Creek nation, do
• hereby agree to relinquish all the right, title,
and control of the Cieek nati m to toe sanl
1 reserve, unto him the said William M'lntosh
and his heirs, forever, in as lull and ample a
! manner as we are authorized to do.
Whereas the foregoing articles of conven
tion have been concluded between the par
ties thereto. And, whereas, the IndianCoitf,
General William M‘ln tush, claims title to
the Indian Spring Reservation (upon which
thine are very extensive buildings and im
provements) hy virtue of a relinquishment to
laid M'lntosh, signed in full council of the
nation; And, whereas the said General
1 William M'lntosh hath claim to another re
nervation ol land on the Ocmulgce river, and
ny liis lessee and tenant, is in possession
thereof;
Now these presents further witness, that
the said General WHliam M'lntosh, and al
so the Chiefs of the Creek nation, in council
assembled, do quit claim, convey, and cede,
to the United States, the reservations afore
said, tor, and in consideration 01, the sum of
twenty five thousand dollars, to be paid at
the time and in the manner as stipulated, for
the first instalment provided for in the pre
ceding treaty. Upon the ratification i f these
articles, the possession of said reservations'
shall he considered as passing to the United
States, and the accruing rents of the present'
year shall pass also.
The first Congress of (he Mexican Union
under the new constitution was assembled
in the month of January. The two b an- 1
dies—the Senate and House of Representa-j
tives—were doing business with regularity '
and harmony. On the subject of the victory
of Jiyar.ucho, in Peru, the editor of the Mex
ican Sun (2d Feb.) observes—
“ 1 his most glorious victory produces (he
same effect for our independence, as the uf
fiir of Saratoga produced for that of the
United States. The nations of F.urope will
now be convinced that Spain has no longer
any resources for the object of subduing us.
Throughout .the vast extent of America, the
flag of Spain float*, on the walls of Callao and
St. Juan de Uloa alone, and it will soon
disappear entirely.”
flic Mexican “ Eagle” contains a succint ‘
history of the late war between the United
States and Great Britain, ottered as “ a les
son ol heroism” to the Mexicans.

SLAVE TRADE CONVENTION.

the Government of Colombia, in relation to
the African Slav Trade. The injunction
of Secrecy have been removed by the Senate,
from that part oftheb - proceedings which re- '

that the differences heretofore subsisting be
tween Mr. Randolph ami Mr, Webstar
have been amicably terminated. Our rea- i
ders are familiar with tne war of words
which took place between tfiose gentlemen,
in Congress, arismgout of the Inquiry into
the official conduct of Mr, Crawford.
Some expressions of Mr. Webster’s, at the
close of the last session, were considered by
Mr. Randolph as an impeachment of his
veracity, and the words having remained un
explained, a message was, a few days since,
sent from Mr. Randolph, by Mr. Benton,
to Mr. Webster: and some apprehensions
were entertained (hat it would have result

from Washington, that the interference of
judicious friends, has issued in the estate
lishment, between the gentlemen, of a per
fect good understanding.
