CHARLES TOWN, S. Carolina, June 14. According to letters from Savannsh inGeorgis,dated the gth end 10th inft. thofe Creek hesdmen who ef- corted the traders thither out of the lower towns, affur- ed Governor E!lis that the traders were not cut off by confent of the headmen, and that they had not the lealt previous knowledge of it ; and declared, that they belicved matters might be sccommodated, if we did not afk too high fatisfaction : Upon which his Excellency fent a talk by them, to this effec ; “ That the treaties * {ubfifting between thc white and red people poinred “out in what manner accidental quarrels were to be “made up ; particularly that which he had made with ¢ them, wherein was ftipulated, 2hat the irregularities ¢ commited by the mad people of either fide, [bould not be ¢ deemed a Jufficient motive for the two Rations to make “war upow each other uniil after the party aggrieved ¢ fbould be refufed [atisfacion: Taat it was in regard to “that treaty, that he did not immediately take fatis- ¢ faftion of the many Creeks that wereinGeorgia When ¢ the accounts came to him of the lofs of the traders : ¢ And that in conformity to another article of the fame ¢ treaty,he required faiistattion ot their nation,thro’them; ¢ which fa'istalion, as a proof of his great regara for, “and unwillingnefs to break with them, he left to < themfelves™ tor obvions realon. The late alarm had done incredible damage to that province ; moft of the inhabitants of the back fetlements having moved off, and left forts which they had conftructed behind them, fupplied with {wivel guns, arms and ammucition,befides large quantities of provifions. Weare daily more and more convinced, that the talks fent to the Creek nation will have good ¢ff.& ;5 and we hope that Col. Mont- gomery’s fuccefs again®t the Cherokees, will rather excite terror than jealoufy ; but the latter feems as likely as the former, the French having perfuaded both Creeks and Cherokees, * that the Englith only fet the « Indians together by the ears to diminifh their num- ¢ ber, fo that their armies might afterward more esfily “ exiirpate the reft, in order to enjoy their lands quietly.”—Nothing lefs than ti.e reduétion of Louifiana, feems to be the general opinion, will ever eftablifh the {cveral Indian nations firmly in our intereft. Fort Loudon, May 29. About 11days ago I wrote you fully by Negro Abraham : We all long eagerly to {ce a meflenger from the army, for our provifions run very fhort, and the Irdians are much cxafperated by the feizure of Tifrce, and other hecadmen, and the cer- tainty of their hoftages beivg killed, fo that they now talk of going down and giving the army a meeting, which we were in hopes they had lsid afide all tho’ts of. The Little Carpenter this morning came to the fort and told us, that he had done every thing in his power to bring his people to reafon, but that as he had perceived all his efforts to be in vain, he was determined to let them take their own way ; he hoped that the troops would -make no delay, but puth forward, sud not be deterred by the mouniains, which they would not find (o difficult as has been reprefented ; that nothiog but corrcétion can bring the Indians to a fenfe of their intereft and doty.
