"Since I faw you I have been as far as Lakes Ontario, Erie, &c. and returned by way of Buffaloe-Creek.

Otteways, Hurons, Patoways, &c. are affemoled already at Detroit and the Miami towns, to ac in hoftility against the United States. The profpect of a peace this fummer is very faint, if we may judge from apparent and probable circumstances; notwithstanding the negociation carry ing on by way of the Six Nations, whom the fecretary at war has em ployed as mediators. Capt Henry and the Indians difpatched by Gen. Chapin, from Buffaloe-Creek, with a meffage to the Shawances, have proceeded as far as Detroit.-Colonel Brandt's fon, previous to his father's return from Philadelphia, was gone off with a banditti of Mohawks, to join the hoftile Indians, but the CoJonel Has difpatched a meffenger to bring him back. He is affuredly friendly to the United States, and is fhortly to let off to fee the hoftile tribes.

The Shawanees and At Connecticut Farms, Mr. C. Campbell, to Mifs Marg. Duishee.. Delawares are much exafperated at the Senecas, in confequence of Cornplanter's people fcouting with fome of the troops under Lieut. Jeffers, and killing four of the latter, and unlefs the Senecas make them fatisfaction, their arms, it is faid, will be turned against them. Should this be the cafe, God only knows the confequences our frontiers in this ftate will stand but a narrow chance. "I think it ill policy to endeavour to fpread the feat of war, which inevitably will be the cafe, provided the Six Nations openly declare themfelves for the United States. Their forces can do little against fuch a numerous race as they will have to contend with, provided they do not re main neuter.
