The New Hampshire Gazette

March 6. Since our last we have heard, that the Young Lieutenant of the Coweta's has been under some uneasiness at a piece of intelligence, which he received from two white men whom he met in the woods carrying goods to the Cherokees, who were villains enough to tell him, that the English were on the point of sending a large army against the Creeks, by the Way of Alabama; but not giving entire credit to this wicked and infamous story, he has applied, we hear, for better information, and at the same time, sent the strongest assurances and professions of his being steadfast in his friendship to the English. It has even been insinuated, by such vile wretches, that the Spaniards and English are to join, to extirpate the Creeks. Among the Cherokees there are the same sort of people, who have told them, that while they treat with us, a large Army from Virginia is to enter their country. To the practice of such abandoned villains as these, is too often to be imputed the unexpected outrages of the Indians.
