KNOXVILLE, July i?.
In consequence of the depredati

cove, a number of the inhabitants,
alarmed by these enormities, aflem
bled 'together to conlult for their
common faf'eiy, to condole with
each other on their fuffevings, and
to lament the too long neglect of
succour from the general govern
ment of the United States, when
they concluded to follow the trail
of these daring barbarians, anddif
cover from what source their mise
ries originated. About 60 men met,

where they discovered several trails,
winding various ways, which at 1a It
terminated in one plain, beaten
path, leading to Tallaflee, a town
ft'uatdin. the mountains, boasted of
by Indians, as inaccellible to the
white people. Near this town they
overtook a number of Indians on
the north bank of the Tennelf'ee,
when a heavy fire began 011 both

into the river, on which the whites
van to the bank, killed fifteen fel

SERIOUS QUESTIONS.
If the citizens of the United
States Ihonld permit the privateers
of I lie French (republic to lie in ain-
Ijiiih in their ports, and I'nlly out at.
pleasure to way-lay the veliels we
have before invited to ourfhores, ro
put chafe the prodixft of our foil.
From whence are the benefits which
we- were led to expeifi from ourfuc
eefsful llriiggle in war, the attain
ment of our independence, and our
commercial treaties with the powers
ot Ktirope to lie derived ? If the
United States are to surrender their
Commercial connexions wit h Britain,
Ireland, Rnffia, PrulTia, Spain, For.
mgal, Holland and Savoy, do they
exjiedt to find a market for tlifir
produce in France—iubjei'ted as il
inuft be to the reprisals of the ci'hi
zers armed againlt her? If an an
swer can be given to tliefe quelli""s,
let the partizans for war (for fueh
are our declaimers, for the oblerv
atice of treaties, notwithstanding
their di'fguife) give them, and satis
fy the manufacturer, merchant, and
the farmer, who deprecate the hor
rors of war.
NEW-YORK, August 9. '
ajll the Briiitfi ports in the Weft- 1
Indies are open for American ves
sels to carry all kinds of provisions
there. Salt provisions particularly
are 111 uth wanted, and prices very
high—Beef from 6 to 71. sterling
per barrel.— Pork 8 and 91, ditto
per ditto. The very high price is
supposed to be occasioned by the
great supply sent to the Enrope;iVP
powers in alliance with Knglamf
againfl France, as the Irilh fait pro
visions were usually sent 10 the Bri
tiflt Weft-lndit islands ; they are
sent to these powers. So much for

by our excellent conftituiion.
The meeting, not exceeded in number or
te'peftability On any former occiifioo, were
in a calm and manly speech, by Mr.
Troup, and the following resolutions were
and-unanimoufly adopted :
Nicholas Cruqer in the chair.
Resolved, That the late Proclamation of
the President of the United States, recom
mending a condntt friendly and impartial to
wards all the powers at war, was in our opi
nion a wife and well timed measure of his
adm'.niftration, and merits pur warmc ft: ap
probation.
Resolved, That in our opinion, the Gove
rnor ot this State is well entitled to the ac
knowledgments of his fellow citizens, for his
prompt and deeded support of the system of |
neutrality and peace, enjoined by the procla- !
illation'.
Resolved, That the interest and duty of all j
good citizens conspire to unite them on the

tif our country, in their exertions to maintain
peace, and to avoid the calamities of war.

omirrite in the fulfilment of the treaties of
United States, we will caufiotiflv avoid
| ev^.pjrmeafure, which may be liable to inter
rupt the neutrality and *ieace of our country.
: Reibived, That in our opinion, it is repug
nant't'd the laws of the land, and injurious to
the bfcft iivt&refts of our country, for any citi
zen to enter on board oi", or be concerned in
fitting out any privateer,or letter of marque,
to:ciuze agiinft any nation at peace with
the'e States }. aud til at the friends of order
and good government, are bound to discoun

Resolved, That the Chairman of this meet

preceding resolutions, fjgned by him, to the
President oi the United States, and to the Go
