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 count of the room they occupy the Pre sident’s Proclamation and the names of I the Commissioners and the Indians are omitted. 1 Articles of a convention, entered into ami cmi Imled at the Indian Springs, he -1 tween Dw-can G. Campbell, and James >ler wkiiier, Commissioners on the part e ot tue United States of America, duly au -- rhnri*e.l, and the Chiefs of the Creek Na -1 lion, in Council assembled. Whereas the said Commissioners, on the 1- part ot the United States, have repj-esent 1, ed to the sud Creek Nation that it is the i policy and earnest wish of (he General Gov ernment, that the several Indian tribes v within the limits of any of the Stales of 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 \ tered into with the State of Georgia, oh the 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, those of Tokautwtchee exepted : -- These presen's therefore witness, that r the contra: ting parties have this day enter e ed into the toll .wing convention : s Art. 1. she Creek Nation cede to the d United States all the lands lying within the 1- boundaries of the state of Georgia, as cle •, fined by the compact hereinbefore cited, t now occupied by said Nation, or to which said nation have title or claim ; and also, fall other lands wliich they now occupy, or II to which they have title or claim, lying -I north and w--sf of a line to be run from the i first principal (alls upon the Chatahoochie s river, above Covvetau town, to Ocfuskee '.Old Town,' upon the Tallapoosa, thence to i’: the (alls of the Cposaw river, at or near a - place, called the Hickory Ground. , Art. 2. It is fun Lei agreed between the j . contracting parties, that the United States , . will give, in exchange for the lands hereby i . acquired, the like quantity, acre for acre, • . westward of the Mississippi, on the Ark,in- , • sas river, commend' g at ihe mouth of the j Canadian Fork thereof, and running west , ward between said rivers Arkansas ami Ca- s mill inn Fork, Im quantity. B t whereas f , 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( United States of their readiness to com- | ! 'lienee their removal, there shah lie paid the , further sum of one hundred thousand did- j I a rs. And tne first year alcr said emigrat- . ing party shall have settled in iheii "new J country, they shall receive of the amount I, first above named, the further sum of men- , ly-tivc thousand dollars. And the second j year the sum of twenty five th msand dot L ars. And annually, thereafter, tic sum oi l five thousand dollars, until the whole i> paid. Art. 3 And whereas the Creek nation Ire now entitled to annuities of thirty thou •and dollars each, in consideration of ces 'ions of ten itory heretofore in .do, it i, Im dier stipulated that said last mcauoocd an- n nuities are to be hereafter divided in a just >roportion between the party emigrating >mi those that may remain. Art. 4. It is further stipulated that a de flation from the said parties of the second •art, may be sent out to explore the ternto y herein offered them in exchange ; and if he same be not acceptable to them, then they may select any other territory, west of the Mississippi, on lied, Canadian, Arkan 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 an tribes, then the United States will ex linguish the title of such occupants for the benefit of said emigrants. Art. 5. It is further stipulated, at the particular request of the said parties of the second part, that the payment and disburse ment of the first sum herein provided for, shall be made by the present Commissioners negotiating this treaty. Art. 6. It is further stipulated, that the payments appointed to be made, the fir-t any second years, after settlement in the West, shall be either in money, merchandise or provisions, at the option of the emigrating party. Art. 7. The United States agree to pro vide and support a blacksmith and wheel weight for the said paity of toe second pur , and give them instruction in agriculture, as long, and in such manner, as the i resident may think proper. Art. 8. Whereas the said emigrating , party cannot prepare for immediate removal the United States stipulate, fur their protec tion against die encroachments, hostilities, and impositions, ijf the whites, and of all others ; but the period of removal shall not extend beyond (he first day of September, in ■ the year eighteen hundred and twenty-six. Art. 9. This treaty shall be obligatory on ■ the contracting parties, so soon as ihe same shall be ratified by the President of the !

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.
