t STAUNTON, July 6.
$ttra{h of a letter jro,m a gentleman in
the.Southern Territory of the United
States, to the Printers hereof, dated
KuoxvtlU, June 17.
<< I can a (lure yon from good au
thority, that the Spanilh govern
ment does not take an active part
•with the hostile Indians —but that
on the contrary, the government of
Louifianaf, has wrote more than one
letter to the Cherokes nation, dif
foading them from pnt'fuing their
hodilines againttthe United States.
Thcfe letters together with the cx
eriions, appeared to have the de
filed effedt on the minds of the In
dians, t'ney had agreed in council
tD to Philadelphia this fumuier,
to visit the President agreeable to
an invitation from him, and had a(-
fembled at the Hanging Maw s to
tonfult on the time of llartifig, and
the route they Ihould ptarfae, when
on the 12'h intrant, Captain John
Braird, who had been ordered out
for the prote<ftion of ihe frontiers
of this terr itory, with express or
ders fiQ ii Gov. Blount not to cross
tb» renelfee, having eroded it the
proceeding' night, attacked the
jjoiife of the Maw about break of
day, killed feveu fellows, one wo
rn at?-, and a white man, and wound
ed ethers, among the wounded
w/.isthe Hanging Maw, his wife and
foil, and among the killed were
Scamie and Charley, two chiefs
ir.oie difiinguifhed for their friend
lhip to the whites, than any other
Indians in ihe Cherokee nation.—l
fl .eerely hope, and it is the wish of
evejy friend to order in this terri
tory, that the (frong arm of the fe
deral government, ma; be exerctl
ed to' bs iilg to justice such daring
»Vola;i6us of the laws of our coun

" The Indians flill continue to
rifeft our frontiers, pnrticularly
Mer>> diUriilt ; and [hough all the
chiefs .«f both the Cbeiokee and
Creek nations were to go to Phila
delphia, I am afraid our fitoation
W'nild not be bettered—the friend
fliip of tlvefe wandering aborigines
of I his country cannot he purcbafed,
and the manner in which Congress
attempt it, js'of all modes the molt
U'lfa-voiable to 'he aitfcinnient or

Tjw privateer Sans Culottes, which cap

consequently the account of that city's being

a n, a prij'nnrr at Algiers r datrd December 29M,
1 792, dud eighth ye fir oj hi yQaplivitx,
u - last I gave you Tome infor
matipn relative fa the Spanish AmbaiTador,
being commiflioned to try to obtain a Peace
with this Regency tor Portugal, but I believe'
this propofit-on was strongly oppoftd by the
Aigerine Ministry; at present there is no
thing said on this fubjeft.
ii - Prulfia has obtained Peace with the Al
gerines through the mediation of Spain ; the
terms are seventy thousand sequins, a tribute
every two years, and consolatory presents.
44 This Peace appears very mysterious to
me—l suppose it is a temptation held out to
Prufiia by the Spanifli Court, to join the con
federacy of despots aga nft the French.
44 Should the Portuguese be so happy as to
obtain a peace with the Algerines, what
would be the fatal confequtfnce to the Anie
rican commerce? A inoft tempting argument
has been held out to the Regency here, by the
Spanish Consul, namely, that they would be-
makers of the great ft#, as no maritime
power would then be capable of prevent ng
their cruizersfrom visiting the Atlantic ocean,
whenever they thought proper.
14 We are daily expe&i-g to hear foine
thing from America lelating to a peace ; —'
the sum has been a r certained fmce last April
by MeliVs. Bnfhara and Diainio, and I hope
