CINCINATI, June 2.

We hear from good authority, that the Little Turtle, the great Miami chief, has refused the running the boundary line stipulated at the treaty of Greenville—and that a large belt from the Spaniards is now travelling through the different nations—we have, however, the satisfaction to reflect, that the commander in chief is taking vigorous measures to prepare for the worst; and that we have perfect confidence in his vigilance, action, and knowledge of the Indian character.

We think the Indians know too well when they are well off (unless they have taken leave of their senses) to lift the tomahawk against the United States; but should they be so unwise, we may anticipate, from the wisdom and abilities of our general, that those tawny Sans Culottes of the woods, would soon be made to "bite the dust."

Extract of a letter from a gentleman of information at Detroit, to a gentleman of the first respectability in this town, dated May 21.

"I am informed that one Mr. Lorimie, who is a trader among the Indians on the Spanish side, and who was made last year a captain in the Louisiana regiment, and superintendent of Indian affairs, has lately been on our side, and has come as far as the Tawa towns, or la Glaze river, if so, there is no doubt that the intention is to debauch the savages: I have good reason to believe, that most of the Shawanee and Delawares will go to the Spanish side of the Mississippi."
