There has been a Number of the Shawnese here, and Delivered up Five Prisoners; what passed between them & me, I have furnished Capt Ecuyer with a Copy of, who Sends it to Colonel Bouquet, by this Express, which I Send, that it may be Sent to your Excellency for your Perusal.
By Letters from Major Gladwin & Capt Campbell at Detroit, which I have received, I understand the Indians in them parts, seem uneasy in their Minds, since they heard so much of North America is Ceded to Great Britain; and the Indian Nations this way seem somewhat Dissatisfied since they heard it, and Says, the French had no Right to give away their Country; as, they Say, they were never Conquered by any Nation; And I am of Opinion the Accounts of the Peace, & hearing so much of this Country being given up to Great Britain, has thrown them into Confusion & prevented their bringing in all our Prisoners this Spring, as they Promised.
