LEXINGTON, July 12.
Some time during the last spring, it was announced, that a combination of the Indian tribes east of the Mississippi, had been formed against the Osages, or Wshash, up the Missouri. Since that period, the account of this expedition has been doubted. We have now to inform our readers that the intelligence has recently been confirmed by a Chickasaw Indian, who, with his companion, was in Lexington a few weeks past. He says, that not only his own nation have actually sent forward their warriors, but that the Cherokee, Chickasaw and all the other tribes to the north have started on the expedition.
