LJty all the western world.
When shining-, glorious, heavenly light,
A wondrous sccne unfurl’d.
Mortals, awake ! with angels joiu.
To ehauiit the solenm lay ;
Let gratitude with love combine.
To hail the auspicious day.
In Heaven the rapturous song began,
O sweet! seraphic fire!—
Through all the shining- regions ran,
And strung, and tun’d the lyre.
Swift through the vast ex])ansc it flew,
And loud the, echo roll’d ;
The theme, the song, the joy, was new,
’Twas more than Heaven could hold.
, Down through the portals of the sky,
The imi)etuous torrent ran.
And angels flew, with c.ager joy,
To bear the news to man.
Hark ! the ehcrubic armies shout!
And glory leads the song;;
Good will and peace are heard throiighout
'I'he harmonious, heavenly throng.
H.'ill, Prince of Life ! forever h.ail!
Hele(mer, Hrother, Friend!
1 ho’ earth, tho’ tiuie, tho’ life should fail;

l)arly, to abstain from acts of rrtaliatioii
or violetice. Tlie reputed hostile partv
consists of all the principal- chiefs, and
of nearly forty-tiinr fiftictUs of the whole
of the Chiefs, head men and warriors of
the nation ; among- whom I recognise
many who, to my certain knowleIg;e, havf'
been tor twenty years past (ami I think
they have been at all times) as friendly to
the U. States as. iiuy ofour Indian neigh
bors could have be('n known to be.
I met them at Broken Arrow, the us
ual place of holditig the Oi-eat Coutiril
of the nation. I could nut, therefore, hut
view this supposed hostile party as iii
fact and in truth the Cretk Nation; and
altogether free of the spirit of hostility-
ascribed to them. I have received from
them, in Council assembled, the most
deliberate assuratice of their determina
tion to be jjeaceable and friendly towards
their absent people, as well as tovvard.s
tho United Slates.
They regretted the necessity which
they contended existed for the sti-ong:
measures they adopted against Gen(;rul
McIntosh and ot hers, w ho they aflirni for-
leited and lost tlieir lives by havinj;; vio
lated a well known law of ihc nation.
They have engaged to restore all projier-
ty taken and t«* puy for all that has been
desti-oyed contrary to law ; and they have
promised to allow a reasonable time for
ihose who have borrowed ;ind run ofl*
with money out of their national Trea-
stiry, to reimburse the same. The Coun
cil strongly and unanimously objected
to the late trealj- as the oflspring of fiMud,
entered into contrary to the known law
and determined will of the nation, and by
persons not authorised to treat. They
relused to receive any part of the con
sideration money due. under the treaty,
or to give any other evidence of their ac-
quiescence in it. In conclusion, they ex
pressed the hope that their white frirnds
would pity their deplorable condiiion,
and would do them the justice to recon
sider and “undo that which has been
wrongfully done.”
I have, pursuan,t to my instructions
from the Ueiiariment of VVar, endeavor
ed to convince the Council, but without
success, of the fallacy of their objeclion.s
to the Treaty, and todissipalr? their de
lusive hopes that it can ever be annulled.
1 have assured them that in all our Trea
ties wilh the powers of Kurope, as well
as with near fifty Indian nations, there
has not been one iiustancc to my know
ledge of a li-caty having been revoked,
or annulled, alter being duly ratifietl, ex-
cejjt by the free consent of all the parties
to it, or by wan
I yesterday met in Coimcil,noar Joseph
Marshall’s ferry, the Chiefs of the McIn
tosh party, and communicated to them
the proposition of the Council at Hroken
Arrow, to which they have acccded.
They promised to return to their homes,
as soon as they are advised of the an-ival
ol ilie United Slates troops, ordered from
Louisiana and Pensacola, lo the Creek
Agency at Chatlahoochie. The Chiefs of
both parlies iiave dislinclly and solenmly
as.sui-ed me lhai they will remain at peace
wilh each other, anrl that they will in no
case raise an arm against the citi’^ens of
the United Stuies.—Under these circum
stances, it is my duty to notify your Kx-
cel.ency that theri; will be no occasion for
calling mlo service any part of the mili
tia or volunteers of tin; slate over which
you preside.
'1 he cei lilicate of which I enclose hero-

claration ol the Cbi(‘ls in (’ouncil, of

posing that the M( Iiitosh party ev(*r con
sented to the survey of the ceded terri

Tiiis fact givifig altogether a new aspect;
to ihe suljject of the proposed survev of
the land, added lo a strong conviction on
my mind that the attempt to make tho
surveys would be a positive violation of
