Charlestown, South-Carolina, March 20. . . The following is
the most particular account we have been able to procure of
the expedition of Ottassite or Judd's friend, (the Cherokee
headman who was about three years ago in England) undertaken
at the desire of the Hon. John Stuart, Esq. Superintendent
of the southern district of America.
Ottassite went out in October last in order to intercept
the supplies which it was said the French were sending up
the Mississippi to the enemy Indians at Detroit, . . . [12
lines]
He carried his [French] prisoners into the fort, which he
took possession of in his Majesty's name, made a fire, and
out of a keg of brandy which the Frenchmen had, drank the
health of Great King George and Queen Charlotte, and obliged
his prisoners to do the same, and join him in a song in
praise of their Majesties. . .
