Paul Demere, Commandant of Fort ‘Loudoun, dated the 8ch inft. wherein he sc- quaints his Honour, ©That they had agreed io the Ca pitulation that was inclofed, ‘with the Great: Warrior and other head men, of the Creck nation ; which, con- fidering the great diltrels they were in, he hoped whuld not be difapproved of : That nothing but the inclinad ons thofe Indians had for a peace, cotld have [ived them, (or’thc}r would have been cbliged to gbandon the forf that day, happen what would, and few of them could ‘ever have reached Carolina: That “the garrifon were to (et out the next morning, flattering themfelves that the Indians meant them no harm; ‘and they wonld make all the dilpstch their ftarved condition wouid admit of :, T'hat the [ndians expe&, that immediately on their arrival a: Kecowee, the prifoners . confined there [meaning thofe that are now here] will be releafed ; all thoughts of furtiier hoflilities laid ¢fide, and an accom- modation heartily {et about ; that £fiim peace and well yegulated trade mighit be eftablithed, fuch as, they fay, may laft forever: Tha: they could difcover nothing in th®oehaviour of the Indiins that contradi€ted this, and they-hoped, at lealt, that nothing might be undertaken that would endinger the garrifon upon the march.” On the 6:h-of Auguft, Capt. Demere held a council of war, to concert the propereit meafurss to be purfued in their prefent diltrefs, when the cficers gave their unanimous opinion, in writing, under their hands, ¢ That it was impraicable to maintsin the fort any longer ; and that fuch terms as could be procar’d from the Indians, confiltent with honour, thould be imme- diately accepted of, 2ad the fort abandened.” In con- LAST Tucfday night-arrived here Charles M'La- fequence whereaf, Capt. John Stuart was fent, by C-pt. Demere, to Chotih, the Great Warrior’s town, accom- -panied by Lieut. Jamics Adamfon,’ snd’ fome' Indians, to treat with the Warriors ; and the following terms . were obtained, viz. ARTICLES of CAPITULATION, agreed upon, and sflented (o, by Capt. Paul D2mere, commending his Majfty’s: forces at Fort Loudoun, and the Headmen and Warriors of the Over.hills Cherokee towns, Auguft 7th, 1760 ART. 1. z =y {—l!l" the, garrifon of Fort Loudoun 1 march out with their arms and drums ; each foldier haviag as much powder znd ball as their officers fhall think neceflary for their'march, and what baggsge he muy chule to carry. : ART. [I. That the.garrifon be permitted to march for Virginia, or Fort Prince Geoarge, as the command ing «fficer Mhall think proper, unmolefted ; and that a pumber of [ndians be appointed to‘efcort them, and to hunt for provifions on the march. § \ ART. tIT. ‘That [uch - foldiers as are lame, or by ficknefs difabled [rom marching, be receivedinto the Indian towns, and kindly ufed, until they recover, then to be returned to.Fort Prince George. ART. IV." That the Indians do provide the garrifon with as many horfles as they can conveniently, for the march ; agrecing with the officers or Toldiers for pay raent. ART. V. That the fort, great guns, powder, ball, and foare arms, be delivered to the Indians, ‘without fraud, the day appointed for the march of the troops. Before the above {urrender was refolved on, the gar- rifon found their provifions entirely exhaufted. —They bad fubfited on hLorfe flefh, and fuch fcant fupplies of hogs and beins as cthe Indian women bro’c in by fleslth, without any bread kind, fiace the 7th of July, by which the men were exc: fiively weakned, and muft loon have become incapible of duwy.” The Indians blockaded them uight and day. Confiderable parties of foldiers had delerted, and {ome had thrown themfelves on the mercy of the Indians. The ‘garrifon in genersl had threaiened to abandoen their cfficers.~~The Indians had to'd them, that the detachment under Col. Montgomery had been dafeated and driven out of the Cherckee country, while they could kaow fhothing to the con- trary, having had no inte'ligence from any Britith fet- tlement fiace the 4th of June. They had not.heard of any attemp: iatended for their relief on the fide of Vir- ginia. And they had given over every profpeét or hope of feafonsble deliverance from any quarter. Thus was the garrifon of Fort Loudoun circumftanced, before they capitulated. i r Wednefday Morning about feventy Chiekelaws carhe to Town from Augufta, on a Vifit to his' Honour the Lieut. Governor, with whom they have had (fome Con- ferences, in the ufual; Friendly Sirsin. .- They were _handfomly rewarded, and are gone home perfedlly well fatisfied. : ' After keeping'this Paper back till § ¢’Clock, P.
