PHILADELPHIA
Intelligence ojDifturlanca among the Creek Indian's.
THE public have been informed, by numerous naragraohsex
tracted from the London paptts, that a Mr. BowWs arrr cd
in England from America, in ibtfcourte of the year 1790 with
several Indians belonging to fomc of the fouthem tribes —That
the said Bowies, and Indian*, had received countenance and sup
port, to a certain degree, and that they failed from England, dttr
lug the course of ihe last Summer, enriched with preieuis f loi
the Bahama Islands.
It now appears, that the said Bowles, after arriving at the Ba
hamas failed for Indian river, so called, lying on Eaft-Plorida,
and thtnee proceeded 10 that part of the .Creek country inhaoiicd
by the Seminolics, where he arrived in the mouth of September
Jalt.
That at the time of his arrival, the Creeks were preparing to
execute the treaty, made between them and the United States, at
New-York in August i 790. They had ihofen the Chiefs to at
tend at the Rock-Landing on the firfl of Otlober, the time fta ed
for running the boundary lines mentioned in the treaty —1 he
white bird king of the Cufitahs being of this commission.
Bowles's appearance howew r at that crisis—the presents he
brought with him, and h:s bold assertions, taufed great agitations
and hesitations among the ignorant part, and ofcourfe among the
mafsof the Creeks.
Although it appears that a conftdcrable portion of the upper
Creeks, and indeed all the respectable Chiefs were f r runiiin t e
line, notwithftandrng the delyfions of Bowles ; for it is pr«r'u ntd
that he is an smpoftor—But, he pretends, " be has povvefs iroin
the Britifb government to conclude treaty with the Crbekj—
The basis of'which (hall be a revocation, on part, oh the treaty
•with the Uhitcd States, and a guarantee o! all the binds."
He bas spread reports, that hf has three (hips loaded with
arms and ammunition, and cannon ; that if the Creeks will per
mit him, he will establish a fort, and trading houses, at which
the Creek* (ball bc'fupplied with goods ot all forts, upon better
terms than ever they ha ve been, and that he had fix thousand men
in the islands, ready to support him
That he would write to Georgia, and prevent the lines being
run, and he accordingly has written to the Commiflioners, who
were waiting at the Rock-Lending, the Creek chiefs,
which letter is dated at 11 Ufachecs, Oftobei 26, 1791," and sign
ed, 4t General Wm. A. Bowles, direflor of affairs Cteek nation."
In this letter, and in his general deela>ations, he a(T r*s. that Alex
ander M'Giilivray has deceived the Indians in the trea'.y made at
New-York ; but, that he is willing to form a tre?tv with the Uni
ted States in behalf of the Creek natiou, and declares that the for
mer treaty (hall not be executeo
The Indians, diftrafted by his arts, have entreated the United
Hates to wait until the before the boundary shall be mark
ed, and if Bowles, whom they style the " lying captain", (hall
then turn out animpcflor, they will then attend and run the boun
dary lines without further difficulty.
It appears that Mr. M'Gillivray has faithfully adhered to t! e
interests of the United States, warmly recommencing that the
line should be run at the time appointed, and that Bowles's falfc
hoods Qiould be entirely difregarded—lndeed, his importance,
and life, probably depend on Bowles being driven out of the nr.
tion.
A considerable dctachment of the troops of the United States,
and Mr. Ellicott the surveyor, and three refpe&able Cotnmiflion
ers from the State of Georgia, were ailombled punctually at the
Rock-Landing on the Oeonfe, the tirft of O&aber, and they
availed for the Creek chiefs until the beginning of November,
"when they difpaired of the business being effe&ed this featon.
BOSTON, November 23.
- THE Subscribers having a grateful sense of the kindness of the
people of Nantafket, and of the benefit which they have received
from the house ereftcd bv the Humane Society on Nantafket-
Beach, feel thetnfclves obliged publicly to relate the following
:
That the schooner Dove, belonging to Halloweli ; and bound
from thence to, Boston, on Friday, ißch Nov. inft. struck the
ground, at about half a mile's diftanc;, from Nantafket Beach :
She was commanded by captain Jame Carr, and the hjjnds con
sisted of David Jackson, Benjamin Siickney, Nathan Burges, and
Ebenezer Thayer, all of Hallowcll, except Thayer, who is in in
habitant of this town. —When the veflel struck and fiiled, we all
took to the water, and swam fafely ashore except Jackson, who
being in poor health, was unable to gain the beach, and was un
fortunately drowned ; Capr. Loring and some other peifons ot
Nantafket had seen theveJTcl ftiike, and came to our afliftancef
they had kindled a fire in one of the Society's houses, and afliftcd
us, exhausted with fatigue,and drenched in the water to get thither:
Captain Loring and those with him waded into the water to save
poor Jackson, and brought his body on Ihore ; but he was too
far gone to be recovered ; they shewed us every poflible kindness,
and furnifhed us with clothes, vi&uals and drink, and aflifted us
in saving some part of our cargo. We are fully oonvinced that
had it not been for the house on the beach, and the kind afliftance
of the people of Nantafket, we niuft every one have perilhed ;
and we publish this account to manifrft our gratitude to divine
Providence, and to those who were inftrumrmtal in saving us.
