Mr. Sculj.,
The information in your laft paper of an

ct Is not correct. It is at Kalkafkias and
in the neighbourhood of that place that
the French fettlers have been mitigated by
Spanffli and FrencTt emiflaries''.to thrbvofr

erect the ftandard of the French. Republic.

that tjkree Frenchmen who palled through

and telling them they were oppreffed by
the United .States and would neyer bt hap

faid the Indians ' liftened to theft ipeecbes
with great attention and there is reafon to
fear the v-ile incendiaries who are now
among the weftern tribes will be fuccefsful
in their endeavours to kindle the flames of
another bloody war on our frontier?
