Saturday Night, Dec. 18.
Millidoetiile, December 4j."
A friend has favored us
with the following extract
of a letter from an officer in
General Floyd’s army, d a_
ted .a—*
Fort Mitchell, Dec. 12.
“ I with plcafure give
you the occurrences in camp j
since you left here; Riley]
and Moseley were dispatch
ed as fpics to the Talapco_
lee—they returned three
days and reported that the
Indians of Tallaffee and Au
toexec have moved down to
Ho,ith,le,wau,!ee, fix miles
below ■ our battle ground,
where, according to their j
ftai.cment all ihe hostile
towns are concentrating. 1
The Bate me nt of the run
ners or fpics relative to Oak.
luskee are tome what con
tradictory, but from what
i can gather, a number of
their Warriors were in our
battle, and more of them
'have Imce gone down the*
Tala poo lee. There came
into Cowetau laii week a
bout 3,000 Indians—the
Chiefs etlimate them at a
bout 3,5°° able bodied
friendly vvariiors. The low
er chiefs vouch for the
friendly conduct of the Flo- i
rida Indians Runners are!
Itarled vviih dispatches to
Generals Flournoy, Jackson j
and Adams—thole to the j
two former officers to re
i turn iii about twenty days, ‘
Quarter M a Iter Tennille is!
tuit recovering. ’*

A gentleman from Fort j
II awkins informs u , that
fume of the friendly xndi-!
ans who went on an expedi-;
cion to plunder holies from ;
the holtile party, bring in a
report of their having heard ;
*
a aeavy cannonading near I
the jun&ion of the Coo fa I
andTalapoofce rivers about 1
ten after the battle of 1
Autoflie. They f, y , th " I
report of the Artillery Was 1
heard by them from twelve 1
o’clock till sunset. We 1
think their story not imnro. f
bable, as General Flournoy I
certainly contemplated an 1
expedition against the Creeks 1
ana if a has been I

troops of the U. States en- f

Brigadier Gen Floyd, I
; we are informed,, has writ- I
1 * en to Major Gen. Pinck- I
j that he is sass lecov. 1
, ering from his late wound, 1
! and expects to be able short- J
ly to refu:nc the command j
of the army.

to hear from Gen. Adams’s I
