The provisional treaty. communicated to the Senate at its last session, concluded by Col (adsden with the Seminole Indians, will be obligatory, on its ratification by that body. The deputation of their chiefs, which went to Arkansas to examine their destined country, nas returned, aud reported favorably upon it for their future residence. The want of an appropriation to defray the expense, prevented the removal of most, it not all of them during the past season. In the progressive execution of the late Creek treaty, an unfortunate circumstance took place, which has occasioned considerable excitement in the State of Alabama. By a provision of that treaty, all intruders were to be removed from the ceded land, until the country was sus ve yeri, and the stipulated selections were made. This has not yet been done, and in the interim repeated complaints of gross injustice and cruel treatment towards the Creeks were received by the department. It was represented that in many instances they were driven from the lands tney had cultivated, that they were unmercifully beaten, that their dwellings were buint, and that they were compelled to flee to the woods for safety Upder these circumstances of provocation and outrage, the persecuted Indians applied to the Government for that protection guarantied to them by the treaty. Instructions were accordingly issued to the marshal of the southern district of Alabaina, couched in conciliating language, 10 expel the intruders, after giving them reasonable notice to leave the ceded land, and so to execute the order as to occasion them the least possible loss and inconvenience. They had put themselves in the wrong, and it devolved upon the Goverament to right the injured party. In the discharge of that duty by the marshal, au intruder, named Owen, lost his flife by resisting the law of the land. It has been officially represented to the department that, previously to the catastrophe, ou his evincing a determination not to yield to authority, he had been expostulated with, and cautioned to forbear resistance : also, that he was armed, and, while in the act of firing at one of the men on duty, was shot in that hostile position. The occurence, however much to be deplored, seems, froni the above representation, to have been avoidable only at the extreme peril of lite : and that to the reckless rashness of the individual can alone be impuled the unhappy result of his original trespass. Under an act of the last session of Congress, to enable the President to extinguish the Indian title to land within the States of Indiana and Minois, and the Territory of Michigan, commissioners were appointed, and a treaty has been concluded with the united nation of Chippewa, Ottowa, and Pottawatomie Indians, by wnich they have relinquished to the United States all their land within the said States, and all that was held or claimed hy them jointly in the said territory. The treaty comes paiticularly commended in the fact of total cession without any reserva. Lion, thereby ensuring the prompt e migration of the Indians, and serving as a prevention of unjust speculation in their lands. The commissioners appointed by the act of July 14, 1832, to adjust difficulties in the location of the land of the emigrating Indians, and for Other purposes, have happily succeeded in concluding a treaty with the Creeks and Cherokees, whereby the boundaries of the lands of the two nations have been definitively and permanently established, and a long existing controversy has been terminated to their mutual satisfaction.
