" The legion is still in this vicinity,hav ing performed no other exploit during the winter, than the erection of a small ftock adework, on Gov. St. Clair's unfortunate field ; we have been in a " moving, halt ing posture" since the firft of December, but it would seem that the longer we con tinue here, the more firm our attachment to'thefpot, and at present it is altogether uncertain when we may move, or where. The savages are still reserved, and excuse lis, whilst they depredate on the river set tlements ; we may however reasonably ex p;<ft a stroke at one of our weekly convoys from Fort Hamilton, in a very short time.' Extra£l of a letter from the Cortimand ing Officer of Fort Franklin, dated June 9, 1794. " Since my last. letter to you, three mm of the names of Wallace, Poor, and Richard Van Sickle, left this place on the sth inft. in order to go to Fort Pitt ; they were attacked by the Indi ans, when Wallace and Poor were kil led, the other returned and gave me this information.—The day following I ordered five Senecas and five white men, not belonging to the garrison, to go in search of the deceased; they found Wallace and Poor shot, scalped and tomahawked, and after burying them returned. Mr. Scull, The following Speech sent by the Corn planter, alias John Obail, to .Lieute nant Polhemus, commandant of Fort Franklin, together with the remarks thereon, you will please give a place in your next paper. Glnnjhadgo, May 24, 1794. Sir, I HAVE returned home fafe*. I wrote a letter to you and hope you re ceived it, in regard to the British fending a man to Cataragarajs, and he sent for me—-I W e n t to fee him, not him alon'e, hut likewise the Munfees, refpedling the man that was killed at French, creek, as you wrote t© me concerning that bu siness. Brothers. This man that sent for we to Cataragaras wanted to know what we were about; it seemed to him, as if * Had been at the mouth of Buf faloe. we were hiding' ourfelvesj. I spoke to hiiti, and told him the realbn of our hiding ourselves, thst the white t people thirlk that we are nobodyf. I have told thing from the beginning —that the Six Nations would not be heard by any body. This was all that passed between the British man and my felf; his name is William Johnfton : Brother. Thfen 1 spoke to the Man fees in regard of your writing to me to help you, and I ««flccd their minds as the tomahawk was (licking in their heads ; then the Munfees spoke and told me they were not drunk about this affair ; as you wrote to me, and told me that you wanted to make our minds easy about this affair—it fha'l be so—this is all I have to fay this present time about it. As 1 went there, every thing hap pened right, and you will hear a little what Bears Oil Chief said, as he was sent there hy the Chiefs at Conyat. I fend you three ftringsof wampum given to me by Bears Oil Chief, and his words were, that God Almighty had made day and night, and when he law me, it appeared to him as if it was dav light 4 Brother, fays Bears Oil, my mind is very uneasy when 1 live at Conyat, and every summer I fee the bad Indians, and always tell them not to interrupt our friends this way. Bears Oil fays his mind is very uneasy, and the reason is that he can hardly keep the western na tions backany longer,'as the white peo ple are making forts in their country ; and another thing, our warriors and children are very uneasy, they fay that they cannot go out of doois to cafe ihemfelves, for fear of hurting General | Walhington's lands, which mull be the reason we are to be killedJj. Bears Oil ; speaks, and fays he was sent by all the Chiefs, and they looked out which was the best way for him to go—by water, there was a lake, that. God Almighty had made for every body, and he hoped that General Washington would have nothing to fay if he went by water. Now, BrothAs, fays Beard-oil to the Six Nations, I have come to know your minds, and if you want me to come down here to live, I will come ; —I fend you 5 firings of wampum as his speech on that head. I spoke to Bears oil for William Johnfton to help him, as the white people think nothing of us ; then Johnfton spoke and told him he would help him, and told him to go home, and tell his warriors and children to go to work, and plant corn, and get their living. I then spoke to Bears-oil myfelf to make his mind easy, and go home, and if he saw any of the weitern people going to war, to tell them not to interrupt any body about Freneh creek, or any body in' that country, and if he should fee them, to tell them to go back to those that were at war. I told Bears-oil afterwards, if you don't fee any body, and they do jfliy mifchief, we cannot help it. Then, after that, I considered, and dispatch ed runners to Ofwego, and to Buffaloe creek, and to the Genefei, for all the chiefs to rife, and likewiTe General Chapin, fuperintendant of Indian af fairs. Then Mr. Johnfton. spoke, and said if the Six Nations went he would go with them—there is but eight days to come when they will meet like what I have said. Brothers, at' French creek, if it should happen that they dont come, you must not blame me, for it is not my fault, because you know very well I am almost tired of talking, because none of you _will hear It will be but a few days before I will know whether they are coming, and if thev are, you shall know it immediately. I am your friend and brother, JOHN f OBAIL, mark. Lieut. John Polhemus, Commanding F. F. I wrote you last about ftoppoing the troops, I hope you will till affairs are fettled. § This is artful enough to touch the pride of the savage warrior. f A good hint that we do not make so much of him as we ought to do The truth is we have always made too much. He is bur a Captain over 18 men. | Not a bad figure this, and artful ly flattering to the brother savages whom he meant to gain. || This is no doubt the fuggeflions of the British, to wound the pride of the savages, and incite them to war. Sly enough, pretending reflraint where none exists; and affecting great cau tion of treading on our foil. The devil take him ; have we not been always hllening to him, tho* every body but the Minister at war knows that it is of bo conference what he fays. It depends upon ourselves to keep him, and the other. Indians at peace ; and that is by {hewing them that it is not fafe to be othenyife. The Six Nations taking part with Britain or with us, depends on the occupation of Pfef qu'ifle-. A ferce there will, command them. ■ Give umbrage to the Six Nati ons } Does not every body know it is not the want of umbrage that keeps them quiet, but the impreflton of fear, lncteafe the fear and disregard the um brage. This is the natural policy on this occasion. If the British in the mean time take poflefiion of Prefqu'ifle, the measures of our executive will be justly reprobated, and if it does not cost the minister the guillotine, we hope it will his place.

[From a London paper of March 27.J LUNAR PHENOMENON. ■ Some days ago we presented our read ers with a curious Advert ifement co pied from the Daily Advertiser. The following is taken from the Public Ledger of this morning. Two gentlemen, who were return ing from Hammersmith on Wednesday fe'nnight, observed, just as they arriv ed at the gate at Hyde Park Corner, the following wonderful phenomenon in the moon: , It was then about five and thirty rtii nutes past nine, when they were remark ing the clearness of the moon and the firmament. At this instant, one of the gentlemen saw dart, to the from the body of the moon in the upper hemtfphere, a little above that planet, a fiery metor to the extent of nearly fwo of its diameters. The form was an a - cute triangle, with the base nearly as broad as a femi-diarneter of the above luminary. Ihe gentleman had no sooner exci ted the attention of his friend to this ft range appearance, than they both per ceived another meteor of the fame na ture darting to a distance of about a se mi-diameter and a half of the moon be low the other, of the fame form, and about half the size. After they had continued about two minute, the latter withdrew itfelf by a contrading curve into the lower hemisphere; and, in a few seconds, the upper withdrew in the fame form, dire&ion and manner.,' The gentlemen like-wise obferved,that While these meteors were in a itate of emanation, the moort loft its spherical form beneath that part from which they had darted. But as soon as the meteors disappeared, the luminary recovered its usual afpeft, as if nothing had occur red. To prove the authenticity of this in telligence. the two gentlemen's names, and places of abode; are left with the Printer of the paper from which this ar ticle is copied. PORT OF PHILADELPHIA.
