We learn from good authority that there will be no Indian treaty, and that the commissioners on the part of the state have protested against the proceedings of the commissioners of the United States.—The misunderstanding which has prevailed from the commencement of the business, between those who acted for the general government and those who represented this state, is much to be lamented; but something of this nature has been very generally anticipated from the politics of one of our commissioners, whose influence over the others is not inconsiderable, and whose fondness for military parade and accommodating his friends induced him to take a body guard with him, which, not being perfectly consistent with continental arrangements, were not permitted to appear in that capacity on the treaty-ground; and occasioned a sourness and exclusion on the general's part, which may perhaps be found to have been the cause of a cessation of public negociation, and prove the signal for Indian hostility.
