CHARACTER OF TEdUMSEH.
The celebrated aboriginal warrior 4 '*
* was in the 44th year of
his age, when he Fell at the battle pf
the Thames. He was of the'Sh'awan
nce tribe, five feet ten inches high,
well formed for activity, and the en
durance of fatigue, which he Was ca
pable ofsiistaiflng in a very extraor
vdinary degree* His carriage was
erect arid motion quick—
his eyes penetrating—his visage
stern, with ah air 61 hauteur in his
countenance, which arose from an
elevated pride of soul—-it did not
leave him in death. His eloquence
was nervous* edheise, impressive, fi
gurative and sarcastic : being of a
taciturn habijt of speech, his words
were few blit always to the purpose.
His dress was was never
Rnbwn to indulge in the guady deco
ration of his persoti, which is the
general practice of the Indi ms He
* wore on the day of his death a dres4
sed deerskin boat and pantaloons.—
it is said that he could read and write
correctly ; of this/ however, 1 am
doubtful, as he was the irrecoiicilea,-
ole enemy to civilization, of course
would not be apt to relish our arts-1
He was in every respect a savage
the greatest perhaps, since the days
of Pontiac. His ruling maxim in
war, was, to take ho prisoners aiid
strictly adhered to the sanguinary
purpose of his sbul— ie .never gave
nor acceptedqilarters. Yet paradox
ical as* it nrioy seem, to tlie prisoners
made by other tribes, he Was attentive
tnd humane. Nay in one instance
ne is said to have buried his tooia
laWk iri the Head of a Chippevvay
chief Wlvorri lie found actively in tssa
creirig Some of Dudley’s men after
they had been made prisoners iiy the
British drtd Indians. It long had
been a favorite project of this aspir
ing chief lo unite tne notherrt, Wes
tern and southern Indians, feu* the
purpose of retaining country as
far as the Ohio. Wnetiier his grand
idea originated in his own, or his
brother’s nilnd, or was suggested by
the. British, is not known— out this
niuch is certain, he cherished she
plan with enthusiasm, and actually
visited the Creek Indians* to prevail
on them to join in the undertaking.
He was always Opposed to the sale
of Indian lands* In a council at
Vincennes ur 1810, he was found e
qual to the insidious art of a diplo
matist* In one of his speeches he
pronounced general Harrison a liar.
He had been in alnrfost battle
with the Americans from the,time of
Hurmer’s defeat to that of Thames.
He had been several times Wounded*
tfh*d always sought the hotesl of the
fire. A few minutes before he receiv
ed the fatal fire of colonel Johnson,
he had received a musket ball m his
left arm, yet his efforts’ to conquer
ceasedooly with life. When a youth
and before the treaty of Greenville,
he often signalized himself,
tjMU he Was reputed one of the boldest
cn the Indian %varriors. In the first
settlement of Kentucky, he was pe
culiarly active in seizing, boats going
down the Ohio, killing the passengers
and carrying off tneir property. tie
made frequent incursions into Ken
tucky, vW here he would invarijffiy
* murder some ot the settlers and es
, cape with several norse* ladened with
plunder. He always eluded pursuit,
* and wfien too closely pressed h<ii
woukrretire to the \VaoaSn«| Hill
* ruling passion seemed to have been
glory—ne was careless of wealth, and
pWt^gbplunderings and subsi
i dies must have airiouiivcd to,* great
sum, preikmid IttUn fb^iumselfy
After his fall bn the sth of October
his person. was viewed* with great
interest ,by the officers and soldiers
of Harrison's armjr., It wis some
time before the identity of -iU person
was sufficiently retdgnized to remove
all doubts as to the certainty of his
death'. There was.a kind of Feroci
ous pleasurfe, if I may be allo wed the
expression, in contemplating the con
tour of his features which Was ma
jestic even in death. Some of the*
Kentubkians disgraced themselves
committing indignities on his dead
body, he was scalped and otherwise
disfigured.

lIitUBITANTS OF SWITZERLAND.
The high allied powers, by whose
orders the armies under my com
mand Writer the Swiss territory have
deemed it necessary to make to you,
as well as to Euuop /, a formal, dec
laration of the motives and tlie ob
ject of the proceeding. ( t
This deohtratroii will .manifest to ,
you with what views they have taken
that resolution,, the propriety of the
motives of their conduct arid of their
intentions. , , , V
I am fully persuaded that biir en
trance ih'o Sw.i-rland will.diffuse
sincere joy among ttwse who know
how to appreciate tndtrue interests
of this country, aiid among all the
friends of the ancient, independence
of Switzerland, of her ancient glory
and prosperity,.of her ancient fade*
ral cpiisiitu-iyti. which was esteemed
and respected by the whole world—
I conceive myself fully .authorised to
expect from this class, doubtless ve
ry numerous, of true patrons, that
they will receive us as they’
will assist us as friends, and that
they will assist us with all their
means, because tthey themselves
rriust bb convinced how greatly the
object of this warj which is the re
establisnient. of a jiist and wise po
litical system in Europe, must influ
ence the future fate of Switzerland,
and Her most important national in*
te rests.; }>
I have fio fear that ahy rtluctauce
tfall be expressed except by those
who are so degenerate or blinded as;|
to prefer the maintenance of Frenchk
domination to the welfare of their
fellow citizen^; nor do I anticipate
discontent or indifference but front
those who with sentiments in other
-respects loyal, consider the entrance
of a foreign araiy into their Gauntry
as the greatest of evils.
It is to be hoped that the for frier
will find few partizans at a moment
when truly patriotic sentiments are
prevalent, when no foreign power
w ill* any longer conti ol public opin
ion, and that the latter Will consider
that momentary sacrifices are soon
forgotten when the preservation of
the greatest interests of a people
and the prospect of a happy issue
are tfie price of them ; and that
none b*ut weak and selfish men will
be disposed to purchase the continu
ances of an uncertain tranquility by
the progressive degradation and per
manent debasement of thei r coun
try. - ;
Every thing that caih be effected
by strict order and severe discipline,
by the payment* for proipsion and
the means of transport that are
supplied, and by exertions of every
kind to lessen the inconveniences in
seperable from the presence of a nu
merous army, shall be done -with
the greatest care.
* We come -among you ax friends,
to your country, to your glory, to
your right; and wc will act as such
under all circumstances.—Assured
of your good will and your co-ope
ration, we hope to be enabled to quit
- you accompanied by your affection
and gratitude, wuen the great object
