Walie, that arrived here on faturday, was one of wbout 20 fail of Britifh veflels that had been detsined at Ferrol, and by ordersfrum the court of .Spain were difcharged and failed from thence the 1ft of May. There were then in that harbour ten Spanith 74 gun fhips, and adrigate of 32 guns, all ready for fea, but thought not to oe very well manned. Our letters mentien, that the Creek In- dians are a&ually now meditating {ome- thing of importance ; & great many of them have lately been at Touguloo ia the Chero kee vation, with the Young Warrior of Eitatoe ; and we are well aflured, tha, Becanle he did not fatisfy them in all points, they robbed a Georgia trader of molt ot his goods and horfes ; the trader was going to the Valleys, and was met by the Cgecks. The Northward Indians killed fome of the Chickefaws, and a party of them lately ceme upon and furprifed 8 camp, where were 15 Cherokees, all whom they put to death, cxcept one, whéem they fent to the Cherokes nation to te!l who had killed chieis companions. ) We hear all the shite prifoners are now delivered up by the Cherokee Indians, and we moft heariily congratulate all friends to their country on the aufpicious evenz. The number of thole priloners does not amouat to 20, and they are moftly children be- tween five and twelve years old ; they have entirely loft their Englifh tongue, and can ipeak nothing but Indisn ; they are the prettieflt creatures you ever bebeld, and as wild as ifthey had been caught in heather. Tiftoe fays they often run away from him &t the beginning of his journey downwards, and he had to bunt for them smong the woods as if they had been fo many rabbits or fquirrels ; he kept them together in the lacter part of the journey by conftantly watching them night and day....T'he Young Warriour is juft arrived, and delivered his prifoner, the Dutch woman, to Captain Mackintofh, and fhe with the others, sre going down with Captain. Mackintofh to Ninety fix. O In confequence of the prifoners being de- liversd up by the Cherokees, trade is to be opened with thofe Indians by this pro- vince, in terms ofthe late alt ofaflzwbly, PHILADELPHIA, Juy 8.
