certainly H«»t entitled to the praise bestowed uijdn him
by somd' <^ his cpantrymen. Being warned of^^
danger, he should have taken care to prevent a '"
prise J and had he done so, be would doubtless 1^,-
been victofions. The eneiny had a great advaniilB

superior. I do not wish to detract from the re4, il!
irits of maj. Vanhorne ; but at Detroit in October '^"
I was informed by an American gentleman of
standing, who had made particular enquiry, iiu0
force of the-enemy in this case did not exceed to
British and seventy Indians : and this statement
v^corrobordted by the recoHection, that the main. am

pedUtion of an attack on Maiden, would npt sel^iMt*

Only a fe>y of his troops had come up so close to the

Captain Wickliffe was therefore directed toircmain on

secretly marched off towards Malcolm's mill, in Which
directioto he was to pursue them, after remaining two
jbours at Grand ri^€r. This manoeuvre had'tlic de-
'sired eitect. A part of the men left on the ground kept
up a galling and efBcient fire on the Ipdians frpm tte

an encampment, by which means the enemy were kept

Authentic information was tiow received, that gener-

CHAPTEH XI.
Tke war with ^tLCreek IndianB in the math.
Mating brQught par ^inW of the ot>«l«itiona m the
northwest to a conclusion^ we propose in the last place ^
to give some accouitt of those transactions in th^aoath-
west, in which th^ militia from the states^qf TeiiraiBssee
and Kentucky were chiefly concerpted, «
We have seen in tfaer early pai4 of rtHaJbiatory, that
the intrigues pf the British before tfai,^ary were not '
confined to the northwestern Indians alone^ but were
also extended to those residing south of Tennessee and
west of Geon^ia, in "the Mississippi tenritory and the
Fibridas. When the battle of Tippecaqee was fo^bt|
nHecumseh was absent from his own cwintry on a jjour-
ney of intriguiB among thp southern Indians, for .the
purpose of engaging them in the British interest. It is
pronabUi that out few of the British ajgents in Ctuiada
were so enterprising as to traverse our extensive froD<*
tier from the north^ Ufces to the Mexican' gulf in
person ; but they did not fail for many years beiore thee
war> and durutg its whole continuance, to Jieep up a,
coDstaut intercourse from the nor^wes^ with tbe
CreetM and other iiations in the south, throqgh the
medium of the most active and influential chiefs jp
their employment. These intrigues however, werfi^iit*
tended with but very partial success. The (DhiiolEft*
saws, Cherokees, and Choctaws remained frieAdQy
through the whole war; and only a few individuals
ihm most abandoned and vicious, of the Greek natlcm,
^Id be induced at an early period to take up the toma-
hawk against us.' .*-,-* ^.-^il/'vvt,, ■,.._.. ■'■'-'- ''^ "^

3,vit would doubtless iiave been good policy on the
part of the Amerban government, and it would cer-
taiuly have, been a justifiable course, to ha?e seized
and occir{licd the whole of the Floridas dnuring ^

Spaniards, for whom they were then fighting against
the French on the Spannb pemnsuk,^ the officers of
Spain in the Floridas very amicably afforded every
asfifstance in their powet to our enfpies. In OMny

I Bat the srmed a^gpdilofi it Peflnaoola, who -^^^
sent in advance of^tbe txptuliiion^lo seduce the people
of Louisiana from their allegiance, and lo Ian the em-
bers of the Greek war, andif possible procure a few
.more scalps of wpm^n and (jfiildc^i, had still another
and more degrading task to perform for their master —
to iolicit (m uUianee voith a nest ofj^iratea ton the island
of Baitataria, sitqated to the west of New Orleans*
The British being themselves nothing more than a great
uOst of pirates on a large island, found nO tliffietdty-nor
felt^ie least degradation in stooping to this measure.
On the last day of August, captain Lockyer of the
navyi and captain 1|' Williams of the army, weredep-
patched on this enbas^ in tlie brig Sophia, with let.
ters from both colonel Nichols ;a|id ur William H.
Percys the navM'Coiamftnder, to Lafite the captiin of
the pirates! in which they slicked him to join the firi-
tishcaiide with Ids armed vessels and troops, and ten-
dered him the rank of captain in the British service^
together with a l&ounty in land to all his iDllowers on
the return of peace. They had the mortification how-
aver to meet with a Refusal. : Laftte ^dained to asso-
einte himadtf urtth the Britiiih marauders against his
adopted country, although he had raised his rebellious
liaiMls'to nb and muvdev her dtizens.
The^assemblageat Barrataria was composed of rene?
oadoes from all nations, who had estaldished them-
selves on that island, ajid robbed the commerce of the
gulf for several years past, smuggling thw plundered
goods into New Orlmns^ where they had many friends
H^d associates. Their commander Lafite/ was origin-
ally acaptain in the French service^ ^1 their whiOl^
fofce at this time was about 800 men, and twenty i»ii^
ces of cannota, mounted in 8 or 10 small vessels. Im«
]ii«diately after the British oyertniw, the whole esta^
