CHARLES TOWN. (in South Carolina) July 21.

Letters of a late date from Augusta, bring us the following Advices, viz. That the Hon. Edward Atkin, Esq; His Majesty's Superintendant, &c. was still at the Creek's Town: that his Entry into the Creek Nation had been very grand, at which attended the Headmen and many others of all the Lower Creek Towns, as far as Flint-River: but that he proceeded with such Caution and Security in all his Transactions, that our Correspondents were not able to give us any Account of them. That some French Emissaries had found Means to prevent, as yet the Conference taking Place, to which Mr. Atkin had sent to invite the Chickasaw Headmen; that it was however reported, that about 70 Chickasaws were come into the Upper Creek Nation; and 'twas proposed to Send some Traders amongst them. That the French at the Alabama Fort tho' very much distressed, full of Apprehensions, and destitute of almost every Thing necessary to keep Indians in good Humour last Winter; were lately plentifully supplied with Brandy, Powder, Ball, Goods &c. from Mobile. That the Mortar of the Oakchoys, an audacious Fellow, professed in the French Interest a great Warrior, and who has great influence among the Creeks, had been a good Part of last Winter in the Cherokee Nation, and was the beginning of last Month arrived within a few Days March of his Own Country, attended by a number of Cherokees. That Togulki, the Emperor of the Creeks (a young Fellow, who affects to tread in the Steps of his father Malatchi, by pretending to be equally attached to English, French and Spaniards) in 14 Days from Home; the Young Lieut. from Charles Town; and Togulki's Uncle, the principal Headman of the Cowetas, from the Cherokees, met at Augusta the 28th ult. accordingly, they say; and seemed highly pleased with that Meeting. And that Togulki was going from thence on a Ramble (as he called it) to the Lower Cherokees which occasions much Speculation.---We have some other Advices from the same Quarter, which it is proper to pass over in Silence.
