Mr. Printer, I laving lately arrived from the Mufkogee nation, and find ing the accounts from that coun- in circulation here, vague and untrue, I there fore take the liberty of enclofing, for the in . formation of your readers, the copy of a talk delivered to the heads of the Mufkogee nation by the diredtor-general, W. A. Bowles, after his return from St. Mary’s where he was near falling into a fnarc that was laid O 4 for him by a fet of treacherous men, inhabitants of that country, who knew the woods, and pro rnifedto join him, but changed their minds, and engaged to be ' C, l o tray him to the Spaniards, for the fake of 5000 dollars that were offered them by the go vernor of St. Auguttlne. But had the direnter-general fortu nately fallen in with the detach ment that was in his rear, but which did not get up in time, they v/pukl have paid clearly for their treachery. The detach ment not finding the general, returned juft as he was ready to flare after them, when he de ferred the expedition, and deli vered the following talk. Yours, &c. G.M. RI DINGTON. Dearly beloved Brethren, You fee the difficulties I have to encounter, in order to open a port and get iapplies in to this country for all our be loved people. The Spaniards, with intention to make thern itlves matters of part of this land and the people in it, have made war and endeavoured all they could, both by force and • lying, deceiving talks, to divide us, that they may gain their ends I have feen the talks of the great king of Spain ; he orders his governors to draw this nation and its confederacies into its in terett, and fet us at war with the , United States. This is a bad policy, to which we mutt not fubmir, to make war on one people to pleafe another. We mutt not make war on the Ame ricans, unlefs they attack us; then and then only w r e fhall be jufliliable. The United Stares is a free government, governed by reafbn andjuttice when un derftood; therefore, they will not attack this country, or make war onus, to take by force what they ha ve no right to ; it is only the conduft of land {peculators that has created difturbancc be tween us i but when thefe peo ple and their practices are pro pcily pointed out to the go vernment, they will themfelves put a flop to all innovation. Tficv, I k now, were drawn by the Spaniards into the plan of i.Turping this country, not aware of what they were doing, but I am perfuaded they will now drop it, and proceed no farther. 1 re quell that all our head men will have an eye on the young people, and prevent them from doing mifehief, by tref - patting on the United States, that they may have no complaint ng-a;nil up, or any grounds to make war on us; fo that if a war fix: ittd hr.ppcr, it rr.H he their ovn fault and ’:ol ouil a warofufurparion on thmrparta, and fclf-defence on cu 1 tt.—rhe 1 we (hail find friends enough 10 a (lift us. Several talks have ceme from the governor of Pen face)a to this country, touching peace, but they do not contain a juft and equitable talk, as they all contradict one another. Peace will come on by and by, but we mutt not be in a hurry, for the future good or bad Bate of the country, will depend on the peace that may be made 5 this nation mutt be firm, and hold each other fait by the hand, fo that lying talks cannot divide J o it. It will get fuppllcs into the land at fome place, in fpire of all oppottdon ; but we mutt not lie ttill; the Spaniards draw all their force to where they hear I am ; but they do not make war on me only, but cn the name of Mufkogee; it is 1 that hold for the name of Mufkogee againtt: them all, and I will not let it go, I will not throw away the talk you gave me at the 1 aft meet ing of the nation at the Weky wa, when you appointed me di rector-general of Mufkogee. Every red man that loves his country, his wife, his children, :nd his parents, ought to hold fail each other, and have but one talk among us. I now call on the warriors and young men, whole hearts lead them to turn out in the defence of their coun try, to follow me to Pic data, where I am going to join thole already gone, You now fee that col. Haw kins could not fay before me what he told you ail latt winter; 1 formerly told you fo; 1 told you he dare not fee me after the lies he had told, and the mif ehief he had tried to make. I told you that he would run away as foonas I came near him; you now fee it was true. I delire that you will give this talk out in the fquarc; then fend it to Apuithla Mekko, or 'Fame King, that he may give it to his people, and the upper towns may hear of it, as my talk; alio, let the white people have copies of it. Your brother, W. A. BOWLES, Director-General of Mu fie ogee. CHARLESTON, June 16. Hamburgh papers from the ivSth to the 22d of April, re ceived by the brig Hercules, arrived on Sunday latt, furnifh the following articles; The Swedifh fleet had failed the 2d of April from Carllcrone. The fame day the Ruttian fleet was feen off the ifund of Oeland. Thefe two fleets when combin ed, it was laid, would con fill of thirty-fix fail of the line. The Englilh fleet had left Co penhagen, except one line of battle fnip and fome fmallcr vdfels, and had gone up the m O 1 Baltic. According to the latcft news at Elam burgh on the 22d April, admiral Parker, with this fleet, was off the iflandofMocn. i,le expecled a reinforcement or ■ ten fail from England. SJ ' Acco:ci'• i g to-icire* avcc< nts» i:l e Sw f ( difh and Ruffian- fleets had formed a jundtibn, and a battle with the Kngiifh was ex pedled, and even .reported to have taken pi are. .1 ord Neifon had obtained pa ft ports from the Danifh go vernment, to return to England, when he fhould think proper, by tire wav.ot Hamburgh. The firfl court day at Copen-. hagen after the battle, all the officers wliohadfoujrht in the ac tion, were invited to fupper at tire prince’s table. The nifrs i O for the relief of the wounded and widows continued to be very ccnfitierable, and came in from the country; fcveral merchants fubferibed one thoufand dollars carlo The king of Pruffia had -.or dered fevcral rerdments, and a O ' train cf artillery, to repair to the' coaft of the Baltic, to refill any attempts of die Englifh to land. , The intercom fe with the En gJiHi had been flopped . fa far at I: famburgh, that no vcffcls were allowed to clear out diredlly for England. Tie Dardfi -troops fill kept pcflvffion of Ham burgh. The king of Pruffia had alfo a body of troops near that place;.and his troops con tinued to occupy Hanover, and all the places on the Elbe; as alfo Bremen. 1 he embargo on . . . Englifn vcfTels in the Ruffian ports had not been taken off; nor was there any expectation of that event at Peterfb’urgh on the gd cf April. The Ruffian ambafiador at Copenhagen, had, by order of Ids court, notified the fincere vvifh of his fovereign, to fee the O ’ t connection between the two counnies drawn defer. There was no doubt but the Ruffian monarch Aould remain fum to the Northern confederacy. i he fidp Fox, enpr. Kembell, v h.‘. : arrived ydlerday from 1 .an hutgh, brings papers to the 2 3th of April, fix days later than by the brig Hercules, which arrived on Sunday; but thefc papers contain no later news of importance. This it is fall may be accounted for, by the unfrequcncy of the arrivals of mails, or exprelfes from the Baltic, at Hamburgh at that feafon. It w r ould appear by a letter below, that the Danes have received an order from the Praffirms to evacuate Hamburgh, bur, whether this is for the pur pofe of giving fieedom to the. commerce of tire Elbe, or mere ly to fubjedl it to the regulations * O of the Pruffan court, is fliil un certain. A body of the king of Pruffia’s troops were flill in the vicinity of Hamburgh, and Ids troops alfo continue to occu - py Hanover, the polls on the Elbe, and all the places, of which they had taken poficffion. 1 be morning of captain Kembell’s failing, (jeth April) j it was currently reported at Hamburgh, that a courier had arrived from the Baltic, brin°-ir.°- , J o o an account of a very fevere bat tle having taken place, between the combined fleets of Rulfa and Sweden, and the Englifn, in which the latter were defeated, with the lofs of thirteen fhips. Ihe Ifgkfu c< r« : • ai, it fold, had removed his flag trera on board three (hips, the laft of wh ic h junk. This news wasre - lated to capt. Ken;bell by a merchant of high refpechabiiity, who appeared to give it full cre dit, and to regret the full ten dency it might have to continue the war, fanguine hopes of a peace having been before enter tained. Jn the channel captain Kern bell Ipoke the United States ihip of war Maryland, bound to f iance. Mr. Dawfon failed in the Maryland with the treaty. According to a private letter from Hamburgh, the king of P ruff a was ailembiing a confi de table body of troops near the Circle of Franconia, the emper or and other German princes were doing the fame. It was fuppofed that it was to decide by force of arms, the indemnifica tions to be given to the different flutes of the empire. LOUISVILLE, SATURDAY , June 27, 18cI.
