Captdln O'Dail, Speaker.
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.
This speech was delr ered with fix

hour to prepare an answer, at the expi
rat ion ot which, Mr. Ell. cot delivered
1 the following reply to the meflhge sent
by Gene al Chapin and Mr. Johnson.
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

NEW-YORK, July 16.
Extra?! of a letter from Lijbon, to a
gentleman of this city, dated May 22.
" Since writing the foregoing, we
learn that the Spaniards have had a
severe beating near Roulillon :—Report
fays, that they have loft 260 pieces of
cannon, all their baggage, provisions
and (lores, a great many men is killed,
wounded and miffing, and the reft re
tiring, or rather running away, towards

We learn by the arrival of the French
(loop of war Cornelia, that the La
Concorde, Perdrix, Laicaffes&Prompte
with a fleet of 25 fail under convoy,
failed from the Delaware 011 Sunday
last, and on Monday, about 27 leagues
from the land, they fell in with 2 Bri
tifti (hips of the line and 2 frigates. Six
nf the merchant (hips were unfortunate
ly taken : the convoy and the reft of
the fleet it is supposed e(Fe£ted their es
cape.
The Perdrix has since arrived within
the Narrows, and several (hips were
yesterday evening seen Handing sos San
dy Hook, supposed to be part of the
above fleet.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT..
The Captain of the Amelia, who ar
rived last evening informs, that the
Jleet of V 2. odd .victuallers .Jailed-frum
Tile TjeTa'ware Tact Sunday, under con
voy of the Concorde of 44, the Par*
tridge of 26, and the Lafcafles of 18
guns ; that about 27 leagues out thev
fell in with two 74 gun Britifli ships, and
2 frigates ; that he Taw the lignal to dis
perse, 6 of the vessels manned, and the
2 ships in chafe of the Concorde, which
fecmed to leave them fall.
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.
The views of the French being to
draw a column of troops from Urgel to
the leacoaft,in order to cut offtheretreat
of the Spaniards from Ceret, Coliebre,
Portvendre, Bellagarde and othrr pla
ces of the Rofellon, in poffefiion of the
"Spanish troops—When attacked by the r
Frcnchf, Tallying from Perpignan, were '
soon discovered by count delaUnion the (
commander in chief of the army, who
immediately attacked the French with
what few troops and country people he
could collect, re-took Urgel, made the *
French retreat, crossing the river with
more haste than t 1 ey had palfed it be- f
fore, killed 400 of them, among jf'hom J
was the General in Command, Doag
bert, made some prisoners, destroyed '
the bridge, and lastly, the perfidious
Spaniards, (a very modest title given
them in the newspapers of a neutral na
tion) obliged the Freflch to take quar- 1
ters-in the so much boasted trifling dif- 1
tlift of (-Ujni'. urlicre t'"'y rrHnl in
peace the 4th of May, the Tdt ell accouiitsp
received from that army, whik-Hrp spn«-j '
niards kept poffefiion of the principal 1 '
places of Bellagarde, Pot tvendre, Coli- j
ebrc, CiVet and othfr small villages in ( '
the Province of Rofellon. |
