The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

Savannah, in Georgia, Nov. 3.

By an Express which arrived yesterday from Augusta, which place he left on Saturday last, we hear, that his Excellency our Governor, with his Attendants, arrived there on Tuesday morning the 25 ult. the other Governors were expected the day the express came away, and it was thought would proceed to business as on Monday. About 200 Cherokees, together with the Chickasaws, Catawbas, two Choctaws, and 60 of the Upper and Lower Creeks, had been there some days, and near 100 more of the latter were daily looked for. A good understanding subsists between the Cherokees and Chickasaws, but the Creeks and Cherokees seem not to be upon the best of terms.

We hear that the boundaries of this Province are extended to St. John's River.

Our accounts from Augusta are, that on Wednesday the 2d three Governors from Charles-Town, with their attendants, arrived there; on Saturday the congress was opened at Fort Augusta, when the Indians, in number between 7 and 800, received a talk, to which they were to return an answer on the Monday following. It is thought that the whole business will be finished. and that the four Governors will set out on their return in the Georgia and South-Carolina scout boats the end of this week, or beginning of next. A bad understanding still subsists between the Creeks and Cherokees.
November 17. On Monday the 7th instant, the different nations of Indians that were present at the congress at Augusta, returned their answer to the talk delivered by the Governors, in his Majesty's name, the Saturday before ; on Wednesday the 9th their Excellencies made their Reply ; and next day a Treaty of Peace and Friendship was signed by the Governors and the Chiefs of the Indians ; after which the congress broke up. The Indians seemed all well disposed ; the Creeks, sensible of his Majesty's beneficence, and his clemency towards them, in forgiving all past offences, of their own accord extended the boundaries between their lands and the English considerably to the westward.
