Georgia & the Creeks.—The Augusta Chronicle states on the authority of a gentleman from the neighbourhood of the Creek nation, that the Surveyors have gone out to survey the Creek lands, according to the Governor's order—that the indians have sent a remonstrance against it to the General Government, a copy of which they have also transmitted to Gov. Troup: and that the Creeks, generally, of both parties, are decidedly opposed to the Surveyors entering upon the land before the first of January. He further informs, that the Indians had had a Council meeting, at which Col. Crowell had been present, and had paid the money to the Chiefs, according to the provisions of the New Treaty—that none of it was paid to the McIntosh party, as the Government had made other provisions for them—that Commissioners from the Indians had gone out to the West, to make preparations for the entire emigration in January— and that the McIntosh party had been numbered at the Council, and amounted to 130 men, rank and file.
