A letter received by a gentleman at Stockbridge, dated Oneida, Oct. 21, says, "Accounts arrived in this village last evening from the Miami, which are much more favorable than when the Commissioners left that quarter. Only three of the Indian nations remain hostile; all the others have declared for peace or neutrality, and request another treaty next spring. The Commissioners on receiving their final answer at the late treaty, which put an end to the negociation, immediately left Detroit--their sudden departure exhibited such spirit and determined resolution, as made a very favorable impression on the minds of the Indians."
