WINCHESTER, June 11.
A Gentleman recently from the back country, confirms the account of Mr. Whitefield having been deputed by the commissioners of South-Carolina and Georgia appointed by Congress for that purpose, to propose a cessation of hostilities with the Creek Indians, as a prelude to adjust the unhappy differences which have for some time past subsisted between the inhabitants on the frontiers of those states and that nation and fix their future peace and tranquility on the most permanent basis.--McGillivray, head king of the Creeks, has often signified his approbation of treating with Congress, but is totally averse to paying any attention to what may be offered on that subject by individual states. Mr. Whitefield was conducted to the Creek nation by an intelligent and friendly Cherokee. It is thought all matters in dispute will be amicably settled by the first of August next.
