Sensible, as they were, of the wrong they had done, they expected to make some indemnification, and were, for the most part, satisfied with the mode and measure of it.  In one or two instances, where a dissatisfaction was observed to remain as to the boundaries agreed on, or doubts entertained of the authority of those with whom they were agreed, the United States invited the parties to new treaties, and rectified what appeared to be susceptible of it.  This was particularly the case with the Creeks.  They complained of an inconvenient cession of lands on their part, and by persons not duly representing their nation.  They were therefore desired to appoint a proper deputation to revise their treaty; and that there might be no danger of any unfair practices, they were invited to come to the seat of the General Government, and to treat with that directly.  They accordingly came.  A considerable proportion of what had been ceded, was on the revision yielded back to them, and nothing required in lieu of it:  and though they would have been better satisfied to have had the whole restored, yet they had obtained enough to satisfy them well.  Their nation, too, would have been satisfied, for they were conscious of their aggression, and of the moderation of the indemnity with which we had been contented.  But at that time came among them an adventurer of the name of Bowles, who, acting from an impulse with which we are unacquainted, flattered them with the hope of some foreign interference, which should undo what had been done, and force us to consider the naked grant of their peace as a sufficient satisfaction for their having made war on us.  Of this adventurer the Spanish government rid us:  but not of his principles, his practices, and his excitements against us.  These were more than continued by the officers commanding at New Orleans and Pensacola, and by agents employed by them and bearing their commission.  Their proceedings have been the subject of former letters to you, and proofs of these proceedings have been sent to you.  Those, with others now sent, establish the facts, that they called assemblies of the southern Indians, openly persuaded them to disavow their treaties, and the limits therein established, promised to support them with all the powers which depended on them, assured them of the protection of their sovereign, gave them arms in great quantities for the avowed purpose of committing hostilities on us, and promised them future supplies to their utmost need.  The Chickasaws, the most steady and faithful friends of these States, have remained unshaken by these practices.  So also have the Chocktaws, for the most part.  The Cherokees have been teazed into some expressions of discontent, delivered only to the Spanish Governors, or their agents; while to us, they have continued to speak the language of peace and friendship.  One part of the nation only, settled at Cuckamogga and mixed with banditti and outcasts from the Shawanese and other
