Williamsburgh May 30. Upwards of forty ladies and gentlemen
of the Cherokee nation are now here on a negociation of
peace, which is hoped will be lasting, and to request a
boundary line may be drawn to prevent encroachments on their
lands. They have had an audience, and it is expected a
compact will be settled with them in a few days. Among them
are Occnostato, the Little Carpenter, the Pigeon, and other
headmen and warriors. After the talk was concluded they
favored the public with a dance on the green in front of the
palace, where a considerable number of spectators, both male
and female, were agreeably entertained.
