such a war before it could
spread among the contigu
ous tribes, and before it
could before it could favor
enterprizes of the enemy
into that vicinity. With
this view a force was called
into the ftrvicc of the U li
ted States horn the dates of
Georgia ccTennelTe, which
with the neare r regular
troops, and o'hrr corps
iro n he Vitffiffip pi terrfto
rv, might not only chastise
the fav,»ges into p efent
peace, make a lading
impredion on their fears.
The progress of the ex
pedition, as fa: as is yet
known, corresponds with 1
the imrtiai z al with which
it was es poll fed ; and the
bed hopes ot a fjtisfaclory
ifi'ue are autnorifed bv the
complifJte faceds with which
a well planned entemrize
was executed againd a body
of holtile lavages, by a de
tachm nt of tiic volunteer j
miluia of Tenndiee, under j
the gallant command of Ge- j
neral Coffee j and by a diil i
more important victory over
a larger body ot them,

tural effect of kindling their
ordinary propenlity to war
intoapalion, which, even
among those belt disposed
towards the U. States, was
ready, if not employed on
our fide, to be turned a
gaind us. A departure
from our protraCted forbear
ance to accept the lervices
tendered by them, has thus
been forced on us. But, in
yielding to it, the
tion has been mitigated as
much as poliibie, botii
in its extent and in its cha
racter, hopping far short of
the example ct the enemy,
who owe the advantages
they have occasionally gain

controlled them either from
their ufuai practice of indil'-
crimiaate maffitcre on de
