This arrangement seems tome to be an equitable one, and I trust will be satisfactory to all persons interested in the subject. I hope, further, tha after the locations are made, quick possession will be relinquished to the Indians, so that the government will not be compelled to resort for that purpose to measures which I am anxious to avoid. Instructions will civen in conformity with these views. Very I have the honor to be, your obedient servant.

If the deputy marshal had confined himself to the actual intruders; if he had sought fcto remove such persons only as had kwan-- only invaded the rights of the Indians, no complaints would have been made. Tho' according to strict law, he would, in these cises, have been a trespasser, yet his conduct would have been overlooked, or it would have been regarded as an irregulari-ity, which, under peculiar circumstances, sometimes conduces to the good order of society.

But this has not been the case. Jt seems that he lias put himself under the direction of some of the chiefs, and many are placed on the list of the proscribed, without being hoard in their defence, who. would be ficst to administer to the wants of the Indians, and would be exemplary citizens in tho best regulated societies.
