WASHINGTON.
TUESDAY, JUNE 6.
From the St. Louis paper of April 29, we learn that there is some difficulty in effecting the pacification with the Indian Allies of Great Britain in that quarter, according to the intent and guarantee of the Treaty of Peace. One of the British agents, Captain Duncan Graham, avows (or rather pretends) his inability to restrain the hostilities of the Indians. These cut-throat gentry merit a treatment different from remonstrance or persuasion. They however have always been sheltered by their official situations, and their sins are visited on the miserable Indians who become their dupes.
