iiient,l\‘]ajor Gen. Gaines and Maj. Andrews
as agents oftlie U. States, to inquire iiit'o-'tli'e
‘causes oftlie late Indiati .distiir-bances, to ad-

In the several conferences held with ’Gen.-
lGaiues on his first arrival, I received repeated
assurances from hitii of friendly dispositions,
‘ol".¢ipriglit ititeritioiis, oflieulom fioni all kind
of bias or prejudice, whit-.li cottld mislead his
‘judgiiient or influence his decisions on any of
the topics whicli, in the execution ofliis trtist,
might present tliertiselves for tlr's’ci.tssioii 3 re.
lying implicitly on the si'ii’cerit_v ofthese rte-
:C_'l'rl_l"2.lli0l)S, I began with regarding, Genera]
Gaines as an liouorable and disirit‘ei"ested' ar
biter bet ween the United States, Georgia, and
the Indians, and so contiriued to regard him
tintil a short time before his irisultiug letter
oftlre I-Olll tilt. was received at this Di-"p-,m.
iiieut. It was impossible for this gov’t. not to
repel that insult with iiidignation. The Cliiei
Magistriite, in his official message to the Le-
gislzrttne, had st":tted eitplicitly, iliat M’Intush
and his Chiefs had given their consent to the
st_irvey ; and in support 01 this statetn_ent,.tlie
letters of M’Iutosli- were exhibited with his
name subscribed in his own hand, of which
Gen. Gaines had ftill inforniatioii. Never
theless, the certificate ofan Indian cliiefivlio
had deserted front the ufllntoslr party, and or
a White mati of whoiii Gen. Gaines himself
does not pretend to know any thing, is pro-
'ciried to discredit"-tlie stateinetit (M the Gover-
iior, and to exhibit him before the public as
the dupe of the vilest and sliallowtast itupos
ttire; and in his solicitudc to accoiiiplisli this,
he forgets that it is the consent given by Mt:
Iritosli and his Chiefs to the survey; which on
the Inf0l'lIlnll0n of the Ageut,yoti have taken
to be the solecause ofall the (listtirb:-tticcs in
the uation,aiid tipoii which you have recently
issued the most offensive orders to this Gov-
ernment connected with thatsurvey ; amt in
your last one, even denounced military ven-
geance against those who shall aitetiipt to car
ry it itito existeiice. Wtic-ii Gen. Gaines is
rebukctl in the rnildest language which -the
unprovoked iiistilt would admit of, he presents
Ititiisclfagaiii before the ptiblic in a letter, iti-
dulging iu most iiiteiiiperaie abuse ofall the
'ctiiistit'ut't=‘d aiitliorities ofa Sovetei-git State,
and oftlie great body ofils people, and which
lie causes to be published aluiost-a week be-
fore it was received at this Department.
A With regard to the first letter of General
Gaines, to which I have called your attention,
he does not seeiii to have been content with
arltlressitig a letter so exceptiotiablc to the
head ofthis governmetit, lie assutiies the au-
ihority to order its publication on the allega-
tioii ofsoiue pretended and lIl'tCI€‘.IIlIef'l inali-
cious falsehoods in circiilatioii, and which he
makes the foundation o.fauappea'l to the pub-
lic ; an appeal if-lore cetisti‘ra_ble than that for
which the gallant and ni'eriiotio_u's Porter is
now answering before a Court .\l:rrti:il,asseiii-
bled by your order,iiiasinut:h as the latter only
dcfeiidsliintself‘against iuculpat-iry cltarges
made by his own gover‘ti'ment, whilst the for-
iiier, who \Va'S:l)Ullllfl| by equal respect to this
goyeriinient, d_oes not preteu_d that any char-
ges, ofauy kind, had been preferred by it a
gaiiist l*riiii";' it is in this letter, too,that Gen.
Gaines has fallen itito the shocking extrava-
gance of asserting what riobody can believe,
that the Mclntosli party wliicli tirade the
Treaty, coristittited but a filtietli part of the
Nation, and it was in the satire letter he made
ltrimvtrofiicially to’ tltis- govcriinieut, that he
had happily concluded a pacification of the
Indians, when at that iiioineiit he was as re-
mote from the pacification as he ever had
"been, of which fact, I have, el)t'l] witliiii the
‘passing hour, received the most iucotitestible
evidence. ' ‘ -
With regard to the second letter oftlie 28th
iilt., which now thatl am writing, has for the
first time been put into my liatids, and almost
a week after its publication, I have to reiiiatlt.
that the history of tlrplomacy will not furuisli
a parallel,’so marked with iiidiscretiori,rutetii-
ptwance, delilieiatc disrespect, and the outrage
ofall decency. Gen. Gaines forgets as well

theCoirricil of liostile Iiidiaiis at Broketi Ar-
row that llie treaty could not he aniitillcd,and

Gt.-ii. Gaiiies is scart-ely more distrrict anti
iiitellvigible when, in passing it meagre coin

The General soon becomes alittle more ex-

laudable work of enlightening and govertiiiig

He proceeds to call the particular party to

“ the small class.” '

Ohio Canal.--'[‘lie work on the Ohio Ca-

success. Most oftlie ‘line whicli,was put un-

cleared. The excaration is going on briskly,
and sortie sections are nearly finished. Large
quantities ofstoue have been tju.irrietl,aud
several thousand feet are cut, ready for build-
ing the walls oftlie locks; Water limestone,
for about 80,000 bushels of water cement, has
been quarried, and kiluii are building for burn-

ofliuiestoiie is directly on the canal line, . -
