PHILADELPHIA,
FRIDAY EVENING, Juir 7.
William Blount took his feat in the
Senate yesterday, as usual. He read a short
address, in which he said he trufled when he
came to be heard upon his trial, he should
be at>le to clear himfijlf from the charges
which he understood were to be brought a
gainst him. We understand he was allow
ed to be heard by council this day, to
lhew why he ought not to be expelled from
his feat in the house.
Thereportofthe Committee of the House
of Representatives on Mr. Blount's business
was debated yesterday. It concluded with
an opinion that he ought to be impeached of
high crimes, and misdemeanors. The sub
ject was adjourned to this day. 1
This forenoon, the House of Represent
atives adopted the Report of their Com
mittee, nrm. con. relative to Mr. Blount,
—m conlequence of which, the House, in
a body, carried up to the Senate, an Im
peachment against him, of High Crimes and
Mifdemcanours.
In Senate of the United States,
July 6, 1797.
The committee to whom was referred that
part of the President's message which relates
to a letter purporting to have been written
by Willam Blount, one of the
Senators from the State of Tennessee, to
gether with the papers accompanying the
fame, having had the fame under their con
federation, beg leave to make a farther re
port.
That Mr. Blount having declined an ac
knowledgement or denial of the letter impu
ted to him ; and having failed to appear or
give any fatisfaitory explanation refpeiling
it, your committee sent for the original let
ter whifh accompanies this report, and is in
the following words..
( See yesterday's Gazette.)
Two Senators now present in the Senate,
have declared to the committee that they are
well acquainted with the hand writing of
Mr. Blount, and have no doubt that this
letter was written by him, your committee
have examined many letters from Mr. Blount
to the Secretary of War, a number of which
are herewith submitted as well as the let
ter addressed by Ms. Blount to Mr. Cocke
his colleague in the Senate, and to this com
mittee refpefting the business now under
confederation ; and find them all to be of
the fame hand writing with the letter in
question. Mr. Blount has never denied
this letter, iSit on the other hand, when the
copy transmitted to the Senate was read in
his presence on the 3d inft. he acknowled
ged in his place that he had written a letter
to Carey of which he had preserved a copy,
but could not then decide whether the copy
read was a true one. Your committee are
fully persuaded that the original
letter now produced was written and sent to
Carey by Mr. Blount. They also find that
this man, Carey, to whom it was-addreffed,
is, to the knowledge of Mr. Blount, in the
rpay and employment of the United States,
as their interpreter to the Cherokee Nation
of Indians and an assistant in the public Fac
tory at Tellico Blockhouse. That Haw
kins who is so often mentioned in this letter
as a person who mull be brought into suspi
cion among the Creeks and if possible dri
ven from his station, is the Superintendant
of Indian affairs for the United States among
the Southern Indians—Dinfmore »is agent
for the United States in theCherokee nation,
and Byets, one. of the agents in the public
Factory at Tellico Blockhouse.
The plan hinted at in this extraordinary
letter to be executed under the auspices of
tie British, is so capable of different con
ftruilions and conjectures that your commit
tee at present forbear givingany decided
ion refpeiting it; except that taMr. Blount's
own mind it appeared to be inconsistent with
I
| the interests of the United States and of
j Spain, and he wis therefore anxious to con
ceal it from both. Bat when they consider
ed his to seduce Carey from his du
ty as a faithful interpreter and to employ
him as an »-ngine to alienate the affeitioas
and confidence of the Indians frotA the pub
lic officers of the United States residing
among them ; the measures he has proposed
to excite a temper which mull produce the
recall or expulsion of our fuperintendant
from the Creek, nation, his insidious advice
tending to the advancement of his own po
pularity and consequence at the expense and
hazard of the good opinion which the Indi
ans entertain of this government and of the
treaties fubfiftihg between us and them ;
your committee have no doubt that Mr.
Blount's conduit has been inconsistent with
his public duty, renders him unworthy of a
further continuance of his present public trull
in this body, and amounts to a high misde
meanor. They therefore unanimously re
commend to the Senate an adoption of the
following resolution.
Resolved, That William Blount, Esquire,
one of the Senators of the United States
having been guilty of a high misdemeanor
intirely inconsistent with his public trust and
duty as a Senetor, be, and he hereby is ex
pelled from the Senate of the United States.

Extrracl of a letter from the Secretary of
War to Brigadier General James Wilkin
fon, dated War-Office, 9th June, 1797.
" YESTERDAY the Secretary of State
received letters from Mr. Ellicott, by which |
it would appear that scruples on the part of
Governor Gayofo had retarded the evacua
tion of the polls.
" These scruples or objections are, firft,
That in his opinion the forts ought to be
demolilhed ; 2d. That he thought it neceflfa
ry to continue his force in that quarter till
the claims of Spanilh fubje£ls to land should
be adjulled by negociation.
" As to the firft, our officer may be in
ftruited to agree to the demolition of the
works if infilled on. As to the second, he
will affurethe governor that he is authorized
to fay, that no person shall be disturbed in
his possession or property till an opportunity
has been afforded to apply to Congress, and
that they may rely upon their claims being
adjusted upon.the moll equitable principles.
" It is to be presumed, that on receiving
these explanations, the SparJfh garrisons
will be withdrawn. If, however, contrary
to expedlation, this ftiould not happen our
officer is to take a secure position, but not so
near them as to give any cause to the Spanilh
garrisons to apprehend insult or injury."—

" The departure of the fourth regiment,

—it has reduced our guards from officer's
guards to non-commiflioned officer's, and
our strength does not admit of three re

" I have had, for a long time past, a

be prudent not to weaken the garrison more
