WINCHESTER, (V.) OA. i. From a Correspondent ' The latter cud of Julylalt, the Cherokess kill ed two men on the Tenefl'ee, who were going to the Chickafaws. It is reported that the three towns of Creek In dians, that flood out and would not accede to the New-York treaty, have, through the great exertions of M'Gillivray, ratified the fame—and, it is generally expected that they will remain at peace, if the Cumberland people will overlook the depredations committed oil that settlement during the lart summer. The proprietors of the Muscle Shoals, on the Teneflee, are determined to effetft a settlement there, at the risk of every thing, and are making all the preparations in their power for a number of emigrants to let out early in November next. The Creeks and Cherokees are very much a larmed at this, and are determined to facrifice both nations, sooner than fnffer that country to be fettled ; for, should it take place, the Chero kees mult leave the Teneflee. The southern Indians were never more inclin ed for peace than they are at present.

The present situation of affairs in the Eastern Hemisphere exhi bits a very motly appearance. The fame papers which inform us of peace between Russia and the Turks, give the details of battles, vittory and carnage. There are strong rumors of attempts to effett a counterrevolution in France. °The Banks of Venice, Genoa, See. it is said, have made loans to the male-contents and exiled princes—these on the other hand are dependant on the Emperor's bounty for support—the Prince of Conde has lately mortgaged his jewels. One account fays the King of Sweden is inveterate against the National Aflem bly; another fays he is very temperate and moderate in his refent tnents; and even among the injured petty German Princes, there appears to be a great fohifm in opinion. Some of the paragraphias fay the frontiers of France are in a detencelefs state; but the re ports made to the National Aflembly fay the fortifications are in good repair. The English have made great preparations to com pel the Empress of Rullia to make peace ; but Catharine, after re peatedly beating the Turks, appears to have made a peace agreea ble to herfelf. The National' Assembly have declared the person of the King to be inviolable, but,ftill keep him in custody. The King is however to have his liberty at Fontainbleau to accept of the Constitution—but if he does not accept, he is to be no longer King. There appears to be no doubt of his accepting it. The English papers contain a letter from the King ot Sweden, *0 hi& Ambassador at Paris—lll which he dirc&s that he (hould keep from all intercourfc with the Revolutionists. Its authenti city is donbted. Infurre&ions have broke out in Switzerland —the motto on the buttons of the people is, " Live free, or die." The Britilh Government has received favorable accounts from India. Lord Cornwallis was before Bangalore with an army of #5,000 men; and General Abercrombic within 40 miles of Se ringapatam, with a large force.

" II Congress was to put 10 per cent, on all foreigners not in alliance, and appropriate the proceeds of such a duty as a bounty for the encouragement of the whale fifhery, it might prevent our best whalers going to France and England, to carry on and learn them the buhnefs. Uolefs the general government some thing to encourage the business, you may depend that this great article of commerce will in a few years be loft to the United States. 14 Mr. Jefferfon's report will, I hope, operate to produce fomc tlrng that may anfwerto counteract France and England, so far their duties embarrass the tiflieries."

A mod extraordinary account is given in a letter from Bour deaux, dated 2qth July lalt, of the conduct of Mr. Fenwick, the American Consul at that place. An American veflel. with 2?.q hhds. of tobacco, from Virginia, was officially informed against by the Consul as not coming dire£l from America. It seems (he had touched at an outport for orders. He thought her cargo fhou!d not therefore be admitted to enter for home ronfnmption—in consequence the dire&or of the custom house rcfufed to accept the inward duties theteon, and the con signees entered the cargo for exportation. The queflion is, whe ther a vessel from the United States, that touches at an out-port tor advice or orders, without breaking bulk, is to be considered as coming dirett from America ? The new French law faying that " American tobacco can only be imported in French or American bottoms coming dircft from America The consignees, Mcffrs.

" Onfe of the Indian captives lately died- at this place—his Excellency Governor St. Clair gave liberty to the reft to bury the corpse according to the custom of their nation : the mode is, that the body be wrapped in a shroud, over which they put a blanket, a pair of moggafins 011 th<; feet, and seven day's rations by the fide of the head, with other necefl'aries. The march from Fort- Washington was very folenm ; on their arrival at the grave, the corpse was let down, and the rela tives immediately retired—an aged matron then descended into the grave, and placed the blanket according to rule, and fixed the pro*ifion in l'uch manner as fhethought wouid be mod handy and convenient to her departed friend—calling her eyes about to fee if all was right, Hie found the deceased was barefoot, and enquired why they had omitted the moggafins ? The white person who superintended the whole business, informed her that there were 110 good moggafins in the (lore, but that by way of amends they had put a liifficiency of leather in the knapsack to make two pair at the fame time shewing her the lea ther. With this Ihe appeared fatisfied, faying that her friend was well acquainted with making them " Since I liave been here, I have been inform ed that the Indians have fenc in a piifoner to Dunlap's Station, with a letter, importing that they wilh to come in, and treat of peace.

If a peace is patched up now, government will soon have to begin the business dc novo; or the poor Icattered citizens in these parts will once more have to wade through a sea of blood. " A few particulars refpeifting this country may not be uninteresting loyou : " Washington is thecounry town for iliecoun ty of Mason, and is the second in point of popu lation in Kentucky. " The county of Hamilton lies between the two Miami Rivers. J nit below the mouth of the Little Miami is a garrison called Fort Miami— Ac a small diflauce below this garrison is the town ot Columbia—About lix miles from Columbia, is the town of Cincinnati, which is the county town of the county of Hamilton—and here is erected Fort-Wajhington, the Head Quarters of the Fede ral Army. This fort is plealantly fltuated on the banks of the Ohio, oppoiite the mouth of Lick ing River. Seven miles below this is a fettle mem of 18 or 20 families, called South Bend— about seven miles from this, also on the Ohio, is the city of Miami, founded by the Hon. John. Cleves Synimes—l2 miles up the Great Miami is the settlement called Dunlap's Station—and 12 miles up the Little Miami is a settlement called Cavault's Station. The numbers of militia in these places, according to the best accounts I have received, are, at Columbia, 200 —Cincinnati, I JO —South Bend, 20 —city of Miami, 80—Dunlap's, 15 —and at Cavault's, 20- "We have now had three expeditions from Cenrucky against the Indians— the firft and latt ippear to have been happily executed on every account—and notwithitanding the men were all mounted, they did not fuflain any loss of confe quencc, even in horses. The Generals in both these expeditions appear to have been much pleased with their men, and the men with their commanders. The second expedition turned out entirely unproductive, it was against a town, which had been abandoned many months before the arrival of the troops —and not being strong enough to pufli forward to St. Duflcy; they re turned."

Princeton, October 10, 1791 Holy Bible.—Royal Quarto. MR.

The Apocrypha and Index, &c. will be finifh ed with all the dispatch the nature of the work will admit. Such Gentlemen as hold Subscription Paters, he begs will return them to him at Worcejlcr % or to him and Company at Bojlon, by the la A day of November next, and as much sooner as they con veniently can. He is happy to inform the public, that the work has been exa mined by many gentlemen, clergymen and others, and has" met with their highest approbation; both os to the execution of the printing, its corre&nefs, and its cheapnets compared with English copies of the fame size and quality. As this very laborious and exceedingly expensive undertaking, is carricd on solely at his own cost, he it led to hope that all those who wifn to poflefs a large Family Bible, will so far encourage this laudable undertaking of their countryman, as to add their names to the fubfeription.
