By a gentleman from the Missouri, intelligence has been received, that war-belts have been sent probably from the Sac nation of Indians, to the Southern and Northern Tribes on this side of the Mississippi, and to various Tribes on the Western side of that river. The object of this mission is, to engage those nations in a common cause against the Osages, who are represented as the enemies of all the other nations of Indians. It is likewise their intention to cut the whole of the Osages off, being deemed extremely perfidious and vindictive to the other tribes, and from their force capable of robbing and destroying those who are compelled to resort to their neighbourhood in pursuit of game. The gentleman who brings this intelligence, says, it is expected that the Osages, in case of attack, will apply for assistance to the government of Upper Louisiana; by which means it is feared, that the United States, will be induced to take up arms in their defence.
