Fowle's New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

We can assure the public, from the best authority, that the Indians on the West-side of the Ohio river, are determined to support their right to the lands claimed by the United States, unless they are regularly purchased. They have lately held a great council, and came to a resolution to bury in oblivion their former animosities, and stand in readiness to repel the unjust encroachments of the white people, who now begin to give general dissatisfaction. They deny the right of the British to cede their lands, and are greatly surprised that the United States of America, so remarkable for wisdom, should even entertain the most distant idea of founding a claim to their lands on the late treaty. They would not permit the Geographer-General, and the Assistant-Surveyors of the United States, to enter upon the execution of their business, which occasions their return.
