Williamsburg, (in Virginia) May 30. Upwards of forty
gentlemen and ladies of the Cherokee nation are here on a
negociation of peace, which it 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 Occonostoto, the Little Carpenter,
the Pigeon, and other headmen and warriors. After the talk
was concluded, they favoured 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.
