On Saturday evening arrived in town, on their way to Washington, five Indian Chiefs, viz. Red Jacket, and three others of the Seneca Nation, and Saucorissa, of the Tuscarora Tribe, accompanied by Mr. Jasper Parish, their Interpreter. The main object of their visit to Congress is, we learn, to obtain satisfaction for the death of two Indians, who were shot last August, in cold blood, by two United Irishmen. There is some other difference to adjust, respecting the conduct of the surveyor employed by the Holland Land Company, who, it appears, in running the line, has taken in land which was not ceded to the Company. These Indians left town yesterday at 2 o'clock.
