Williamsburg, May 30. Upwards of forty gentlemen and ladies
of the Cherokee nation are now here on a negotiation of
peace, which it is hoped will be lasting, and to request a
boundary line may be drawn to prevent enchroachments 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 make and female, were agreeably entertained.
