Brother, WHEN we sent for you, it was be cause we placed great dependence upon you —-we expected that you would not fail in doing every thing in your power to afllft us. Brother, We now hope that you will exert yourfeif in removing those people off our lands, we know very well what they have come 011 for, and we want them pulhed back. Brother, We now wish thnt> you and Mr. Johnson would go together, and remove those people back over the line, which we have marked out upon the map. Brother; —-— - ——- 1 If those people rerrtove off immedi ately we shall consider them as our si iends—if not we fnal! consider them as no friends Brother, We wish that you and Mr. Johnson j would go together upon this bufinels, i and we shall lend ten warriors to attend j you, and we shall expect that you will bring us word when you return.

Brothers of the Six Nations, : Your brethren of Pennsylvania have always been attentive to the interest of the Indians especially to that of the to meet them 1 in peace and unity ! Brothers, We have heard your meflage by Ge neral Chapin, and Mr. Johnfori, and have conlidered the requelh • | Brothers. By the peace of 1782, the King of 1 Great Britain added to your brethren |of Pennsylvania, all the lands which » they claim, but from a regard tojuilice, ; and confklering. you as trie real owners of the loil, could not consider them | selves as entitled to it until fairly purcha ' fed from yourfjves. Brothers, The lands which you have requeded us to move off have for several years pad been ptirchafed by the (fate of Pennsyl vania from the Six nations, and the lines t bounding the fame were opened and i marked with their consent and approba tion. The purchase north of the north I boundary ot Pennfyhania wed of the Conewango river, Lake Chstaqeu and e the path leading from thence to Lake Erie, and south ot the said lake was 3 made of your chiefs at Fort Harmar r by Gen. Butler and Gen. Gibfon, and # the money and goods punctually paid to them. Brothers; |_ \ollr brethren have fairly and openly made the purchase of .ill the lands and which they claim, and having fold those e lands to such people as chole to fettle and work them, they think it now their r duty to protect such fettiers from the s depredation of all iuch persons as may attempt to molelt them. Brothers, The prelent military preparations of your Brethren of Pennsylvania were in tended to protect the citizens againd the wedern bodile Indians only—not sup posing any protection necessary againd « the Six Nations whom they consider as their friends and allies. Brothers, The line which you have marked on > the map will take back from your bro r thers of Pennsylvania a large trait of ' land which they have purchased from you. We cannot /therefore confident ly with our duty remove from those lands, unless direfled by the great coun cil of our people, to whom we shall : immediately fend your mefTags. 1 Brother), We fhonirf -be H&|jtirat continuing f on our lands whi« you have fold to ] your Brethren of Vnnlylvania should ( be the cause of ani unealinefs, or why c we iliotild not be oiifidcred by you as i friends. \ Brothers, 1 Your brethren ( Pennsylvania, are 1 a genetous people,tey have never wiSh- r ed for more than iey were willing to f pay for, and have lever attempted to take what did not elongto them : thev 1 will be £lad to m?< you at all times, 8r t afford relief to thaveak and hungry of f your people who my take the trouble t to come and fee thm at this plsae ; in t the mean time, as re are ordered here t by-.Ujejnveat your brotbro a£ j PennfyU'anm vrrtamfrtt confiftcntly with ] our duty, rem.ive from hence until or i ders come fron them for that putpofe. 1 Your meftagehowever, shall be imme diately forwarded by express to them 1 for their confederation.

Mr. M'ljean, Sir, Although the news of the viflory obtained over the Spaniards, contained in the proceedings of the National Con vention of France, and other pieces published in your paper, particularly in that of Saturday the 1 2th inft. bear a very fhameful contradi£tion of the bom baltical defeat' of the Spanifli army, with the loss of several thousand men, 200 pieces of artillery, and pofl'elfion of molt of the Province of Catalonia by the French, as announced to the public a few days ago in Letters sup posed to have been written in Bour deat-x, and which ptubably never cros sed the sea ; still I think myfelf juftifi able in authorising you hereby to ac quaint the public with the truth of the operations of both the Spanish and French armies in the eastern Pyrenees, from the 28th of April, till the 4th of May ; which is as follows : The French army, three times as numerous as the Spanish army, attack- I ed Puigatda, a town but at the entrance i of Catalonia by the Pyrenees, situated between the rivers Coral and Segra, and 1 capital of a small diftridl under the ! nr.me of the Earldom of Cerdagne, . whichthey took,having been abandoned, with the loss of 3 men killed, and 600 i made prisoners, by the small force of I the Spaniards who withdrew to Urgcl, , a town on the banks of the Segra. | The French summoned the garrison | of Urgel to Surrender, and, upon the answer thnt the Spaniards would not Surrender to them, the French at tacked Urgel, and it having been eva cuated by the Spaniards, the French took it with cafe.
