Extract of a letter from Charleston, Oct. 10.

"Should the intelligence prove true, that is so generally reported, and indeed publicly asserted in the Georgia Gazette, that the Spaniards have assisted the Creek Indians with military implements, a war with Spain will inevitably follow, unless this ungenerous assistance has been given to the Indians by private individuals. Indeed it would appear as if Congress had some weighty affairs to adjust with Spain, from their having withdrawn Mr. Adams from the English Court, and sent him to Madrid, notwithstanding this able Minister's presence was certainly necessary at the British Court, in order to facilitate the negotiation between Great-Britain and America."
