Editor introduces an extract from one of from this place, a communication was The French were the first nation of white people that ever were known among the NorthWeftern Indians. When the British and French commenced a war against each other in North America, the North-Western Indians joined the French, and of the Six Nations joined the British. My knowledge of the actions that were fought between them, is derived from the old Indians, that I have converfed with on that "fubject, and is not to be relied on. After the British got poffeffion of this country from the French, a Tawway chief, by the name of Potacock, renewed the war against the British, and took all the potts that were occupied by thein on the lakes and their waters, in one day, (Detroit excepted,) by ftratagem. After this, in 1774,the war broke out between the North-Western Indians and the Whites. The principal action that was fought between the parties, was at the mouth of the Great Kanhaway-there were 300 Shawanees and Delawares, and a few Miammies, Wy. andots and Mingoes, commanded by the celebrated Shawanee chief, called Comstock. This was the war that ended at the treaty of Greenville. Although at different times, individual nations would treat, or pretend to do fo, with the Americans; it was only a temporary thing; for it frequently happened, that while a party of Indians were treating with the Whites, fome of their own people would be killing the very people that their own chiefs were treating with. The Indians that opposed general Sullivan were the combined forces of the fix nations. Their numbers and by whom commanded, I do not know. The Indians that defcated general Crawford at Sandusky, were the Wyandots, Delawares, Shawanees, and a few of the fix nations, or Senacas-Powtowottomics and Ottoways, faid to be 800 in number. I never heard who commanded them. As the Indians always keep the number of their killed and wounded as much a fecret as poffible, I shall not undertake to fay what numbers were killed and wounded at either of the actions above mentioned. Bowman's campaign was against the Shawanees on the Little Miami River. I am not acquainted with any of the particulars of the action that took place between him and thofe Indians; alfo my knowledge of the different campaigns carried against the Shawances, on Mad River and Big Miami, by general Clarke, is not to be depended on. When general Harmar arrived at the Miami Towa, he fent Col. John Harden in fearch of the Indians, with a body of men, when he met 300 Miamies, on the head of Eel River, commanded by the celebrated Miami chief, the Little Turtle -an action took place-the whites were defeat ed-the Indians had one man killed and two wounded. The Indians that fought the troops under the command of Col. Harden, in the Mia mi town, were the 300 above mentioned, commanded by the fame chief. Alfo a body of 500 Indians, compofed of Shawanees, Delawares, Chippeways, Pottowotomies and Ottoways-the Shawanees commanded by their own chief, Blue Jacket; the Delawares by Buckingeheles; the Ottoways and Chippeways, by Agafhewah, an Ottoway chief. The Indians fay they had 15 killed, and 25 wounded. General Scott's campaign was against the Weas Town on the Wabash, where he met with little or no oppofition; as the warriors of the Weas expected that General Scott was going against the Miami Town, and had all left their own village to meet him. At that place 8 men and 2 women were killed by the troops under Gen. Scott. At the Weas, the number of women and children he took prifoners, I do not remember. Gen. Wilkinson's campaign was against the Eel River Town, where there were but a few women and children, and ten old men and three young ones, who made no defence. Four men were killed, with one woman. The number of women and children taken, I do not recollect. In the autumn of 1790 an army of Indians, compofed of Miammies, Delawares, Shawances, and a few Pottowottomies, 300 in number, commanded by the Little Turtle, attacked Dunlap's Station, on the Big Miammi River. This pott was commanded by lieutenant Kingfbury. The Indians had 10 killed, and the fame number wounded. There were 1133 Indians that defeated Gen. St. Clair, in 1791. 'The number of different tribes is not remembered. It was compofed of Miammies, Pottowottomies, Ottowies, Chippeways, Wyandots, Delawares, Shawanees, and a few Mingoes and Cherokees. Each nation was commanded by their own chief, all of whom appeared to be governed by the Little Turtle, who made the arrangement for the actions, and commenced the attack with the Miammies, who were under his immediate command. They had 30 killed, and died with their wounds, the day of the action, and it is believed 50 wounded. In the autumn of 1792 an army of 300 Indians, under the command of the Little Turtle, compofed of Miammies, Delawares, Shawanees, and a few Pottowottomies, attacked Col. John Adair, under the walls of Fort St. Clair, where they had two men killed. The 30th June, 1794, an army of 1450 Indians, compofed of Ottoways, Chippeways, Miammies and Wyandots, Fottowottomies, Shawanees, Delawares, with a number of French and other white men, in the British intereft, attacked Fort Recovery. The Indians were commanded by the Bear chief, an Ottoway. The white men, attached to the Indian army, it is faid, were commanded by Elliot and M'Kee, both Britilh officers. The garrifon was commanded by captain Gibfon, of the 4th fublegion. The Indians have told me repeatedly, that they had between 40 and 50 killed, and upwards of 100 wounded; a number of whom died. This was the fevere The Indians that fought Gen. Wayne the 20th of Auguit, 1794, were an army of 800, made up of Wyandots, Chippeways, Ottoways, Delawares, Shawanees, Miammies and Pottowottomies, with The a number of white traders from Detroit. Indians were governed by British influence, and prevalent disorder has been a mild typhoid fever. A few cases of cynanche maligna have appeared. Vaccination under the hands of the Boston physicians has flourished uncommonly during this month had no commander of their own; confequently and the two preceding. From the they made but little refiftance. It is faid they had 20 killed and 15 wounded. This battle was what may be called the finishing blow; as no action of confequence has taken place between the Whites and Indians fince that time. There was no separate caufe for each campaign of the Indians againft the Whites. The war that began in 1774, which was caufed by the ill treatment the Indians received from the Whites, on the frontiers of the white fettlement, was continued by the Indians, owing to the great influence the British had among them. This in fluence was kept up by the large supplies of arms and ammunition the Indians received from the British government every year. From this it is evident, that if the United States had have got. ten poffeffion of the pofts on the lakes, that the British government had agreed to deliver up to them in 1783, there would have been no Indian war after that time. data we can obtain, it seems proable that never before had there been so great a number of cases, during the same space of time. No accident has occurred to impede the progress of this practice. We would however hint the necessity of constant watchfulness, lest any imperfect cases should escape at tention. Statement of Diseases, from June 20 to July 20. THE winds of the month past have been principally from the westward. The south-west has prevailed most: next, the northwest; and the pure west more Statement of Diseases, from May than usual. Many small showers 20 to June 20. THE close of May was remarkable for a cloudless atmosphere, and regular east winds. Vegetation began to suffer from want of moisture. June commenced with pleasant showers, which have since fallen every few days, though not in sufficient abundance to saturate the soil. The winds have been almost equally from the south-west and east, and sometimes from the north-east and north-west. No remarkable atmospherick phenomena succeeded the eclipse on the 16th, unless that the winds have been rather more violent than or dinary. The month of June is commonly considered here to be the healthiest month of the year; and the present has so well verified that opinion, as that we have scarcely any disease to record; for the only of rain have fallen; and the temperature of the atmosphere has been for the most part moderate. Derangements of the stomach and intestines have been more common than any other complaints. They have generally appeared with the symptoms of colick, and yielded readily to medicine. Some of them have been more obstinate, and seemed to produce, or at least to precede, an invasion of fever. This last, of which there has been a number of cases, was of a mild character. A very few instances of typhus gravior have occurred. This is the moment which demands the vigilance of the police to prevent, as far as their powers can do so, the generation or introduction of malignant diseases. Some instances of acute rheumatism have been seen this month. Many cases of vaccination exist in Boston. |
