Washington, May 26.-Yesterday, left this city, on their return to the Creek Nation, Gen. Chilly McIntosh, and four other Indian Chiefs, being the remainder of the deputation of friendly Creek Indians, which has been for the last six months in this city. We are glad to learn that they departed in a satisfied temper. They were accompanied to the Steamboat in which they took passage, by Col. Brearley, the Agent appointed to lead the Tribe across the Mississippi, and by many other citizens, who gave the boat three cheers as it moved off from the wharf. On receiving this testimonial of kindness, the boat was rounded to, and returned off the wharf, the Indians giving a dance and Indian song in recognition of the civility intended them. After which, the Mount Vernon resumed her course, bearing the children of the forest on their destination to their late home, and thence to their future dwelling place, beyond the Mississippi.

Col. Brearley, the Agent, will leave this city, we understand, in a few days, to take charge of the emigrating tribe.
