We are in Hopes that, at the Request of the Governor, and the two Houses of Assembly, joined with the general Voice of the People, Colonel Montgomery, with the King's Forces, will be prevailed on to stay with us, till Peace is restored to the Province. By a Letter from Augusta received on Wednesday last, there were some small Hopes of Matters being made up with the Creeks.--The Sanguine are much elated with this Piece of Intelligence, but perhaps the withdrawing of His Majesty's Troops may make these Indians alter their peaceable Disposition, if they are really so inclined.
