King Tecumseh, or another "bulwark."
It is stated in a late Indiana paper, that the British have crowned Tecumseh king of all the Indians at war with the United States, and that the day of his Coronation was celebrated with the firing of cannon feasting and dancing! As so little difference exists in the characteristics of this new accessor to kingly dignities and his "royal brother of England," their distinguishing titles may necessarily be similar--George the 3d being known as the "bulwark of religion" in England, and his majesty Tecumseh I, henceforth in America as the Indian "bulwark of religion."
