W. Clark with Rodgers and some of the principal chiefs of the shawnese, who reside in this Territory.' From the accounts these people had heard of the Prophet and of the disposition of the Indian nations east of the Mississippi, they had, become uneasy abt^it that part 6f theiri nation which resides on the Oglaze river: they were fearful lest the United States would look upon them as participating, with the unfri ndly Indians These people appeared much satisfied when they were informed by Gen. Clark of the council held by the other part of their tribe with the United States Agent, and of the speech of Black Hoof. One of the chiefs! set out from this place immediately, with) a passport of safe conduct, from Gen. Clark, with the intention of informing the Skawanese of the Oglaze, what hac) been, done and to urge them to continue in the! same mind.A report reached Kaskaskia,last week,' that Tecumseh, the prophet’s brother,! who it is known, went some time since on a visit to the southern Indians had addressed himself to Colbert the Cherokee, Chief, hut without success; that from thenc e he went to the Chactaws, and finally succeeded in obtaining the^consent of three hundred warriors to follow him.We may learn from the errors of Brad-dock and St. Clair, that an Tndian enemy is never to be despised. It is true he may not be able to drive us from the country, or obtain any final advantage, but it is in his power to inflict upon us, serious injury ; he would deal death and destruction in his inroads on our frontier : or at least, keep us in a slate of inquietude and alarm. One vigorous movement will he sufficient, however, to put a stop to these things for the future ; and the present, is the period when it should be made. To those, who are not inclined to look upon this matter, with that seriousness it merits, it ought to be sufficient, to recollect, that at the bottom of it, there is a powerful nation ; that the instrument it uses, consists of an artful impostor who possesses an unlimited power over the superstitious mind of the Indians, and of one of tlie bravest, and most active Indians warriors that ever appeared on this continent.dent’s Ias we hirival, wsion whi cnatiou lt;Amor an iiv*el travellir He inferof the ydescript tem, he volutionnation o toms otquarter.Farliaand werthe 4thowinghavine*We have had a conversation with Mr.The Ifrom Ha which, i; interest“ It 1I muse ir Conclav that it i here to i that the train. \ tnat he ueras b; There i; north, b the thutiWesthat if t ance to howeveito conct countrie it ntly v Soverei;Dovet almost teers, la Americi the siooj doued h sent iutt eight in being sr leak so i row tor oners, aOJfidaWe ras soon at Albi ai my o:ui war, taken.
