Extract of a letter from Carlisle, Feb. 27.
"By late accounts from the West we learn, that the Superintendent of Indian affairs has sent messengers to invite the Chiefs of the Indian nations in the Northern district to a general treaty, proposed to be held in May next, on the Muskingum river, by the Superintendent and the Governor of the Western Territory, in order to settle all matters of uneasiness between the United States and the Indian nations; and it is hoped, as the meeting was first proposed by the Indians, and agreed to by Congress, matters may be accommodated and the peace of the frontiers secured, an event much to be wished, as new settlements cannot with safety be made under the present dissatisfied state of the Indians,---whose minds have been kept uneasy and inflamed by the emissaries of a certain neighbouring power."
