Extract of a letter from Mobille, May 10.
"By some late discoveries it appears, that the commerce
carried on between the French at New-Orleans and the
Illinois was the true cause of the obstruction which Major
Lostus met with in attempting to get up the Mississippi last
year. . . [22 lines]
The Choctaw chiefs delivered up all their French medals,
gorgets and commissions to the Superintendent, who having
ranged the chiefs according to their ranks, put the British
medals into the hands of his Excellency Governor Johnstone,
who hung them about their necks, at which instant there was
a general discharge of the guns from the fort, accompanied
with all the drums and fifes of the two regiments. . .
