Upwards of forty gentlemen and ladies of the Cherokee nation
are here on a negotiation 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 Oconostoto, 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.
