INDIAN COUNCIL.

We have understood, that probably an arrangement will be made in a few days by General Jackson, on the part of the U. S. with the Chickasaws, for a relinquishment on their part of all the land included in the lines run by General Coffee, as the boundary of the Creek cession to the U. S. and for all the land claimed by the Chickasaw tribe on the North of the Tennessee river in the Big Bend of Tennessee, running to the mouth of Duck river, for which a small annuity will be paid them, & that the Cherokees will also be allowed an annuity for their claim to their reserves in the Big Bend of the Tennessee, & whatever claim they may have to the land included in the lines run by Gen. Coffee as the boundary of the Creek cession. We have heard that General Jackson has had many prejudices and oppositions to combat, and that it has been with the utmost difficulty he has succeeded as far as he has, in maturing the above purchases—he certainly, if he finally succeeds or not, merits the grateful remembrance of every Tennesseean for the great exertions he has made to accomplish an object dear to their interest.

We are informed by Maj. Eastland, from the Chickasaw nation, that general Jackson, with the other commissioners, has completed the treaty with the different Indian tribes, in a manner, perhaps the best calculated to promote the views of the general government, as well as to settle all existing animosities or differences between the different Indian nations, as well as between them & the U. S. For all lands lying between the mouth of Bear Creek and Fort Deposit, on the North side of the Tennessee river, the Commissioners for the U. States have agreed to give $80,000, payable in 10 annual instalments; and for the establishment of General Coffee's line, with the possession of the land included therein, they have also agreed to give $120,000, payable also in 10 annual instalments.

From Colonel Cannon, who has just returned from the Chickasaw nation, we learn that there are strong grounds to believe that our commissioners will be able to procure the object of their meeting.
