NEW-YORK, November 22.
Extract of a letter from Flint River, August 3.
"The people are all ordered off the Oconee lands; and if they go, the Indians will be quiet; if not, when the time is expired, which is the last of September, then they are to fall on the white people. It seems the Chickasaws have all promised to join the Creeks. 700 northward Indians arrived and settled along side the Chickasaws, who say they will be our enemies when once the Creeks begin. M'Gillivray is determined the Oconee lands shall not be settled."
