CREEK INDIANS.

A General Order, unsealed, issued by Admiral Cochrane, and directed to Maj. Nicholls, commanding the British troops at Appalachicola Bay, informing that officer of the treaty of peace, was forwarded to the executive of this state last week, to expedite its conveyance to the British officer. The order is dated off St. Mary's (Geo.) where Admiral Cochrane of course had arrived.

Accompanying the despatch from Cochrane there was a letter from Admiral Cockburn addressed to the Indian Chiefs, advising them to desist from further hostilities against the United States, and stating expressly, that the Creek Indians, as the allies of Great Britain, were provided for by the treaty; that they were to be reinstated in all the possessions and privileges they enjoyed prior to the late war, and that the British government would see the articles of the treaty in their favor strictly fulfilled.

Our government, however, do not consider the Creeks included in the treaty (as they certainly are not); and Congress, just before the end of the session, passed a law appropriating money to defray the expense of marking the lines of the territory ceded to us by the Creeks, and directing also under what regulations the lands shall be offered for sale.
