Arnout Cornelise. -- Capt Bleeker came just now from Skinnectady and brings us word that an Indian and a Squaw arrived there from the Mohawk army, and report that the Mohawks have accepted the presents of the Onnagonques ' which appears incredible ; and that their proposition was to wage war against the Christians as they understood the Christians intended to exterminate all the Indians ; and that it became therefore necessary for all the Indians to unite against the Christians -- and they now consult with the Mohawks as they knew better than they how to manage the matter.

The said Indian stated that some of the Skackhook Indians had gone home from the army, so that it appears they abandon their design towards Canada.

Jannetie the Indian who left in the morning for the army, met this Indian on the Road and requested us to send up an Express loithwith to see and dissuade the Mobawks from accepting any presents, but deliver up here according to their Bond & promise the said 4 messengers who shall suffer no harm, but by that means accomplish a desirable peace ; and he, Jannetie, doubted not if Christians came there to the army or the Indians met them elsewhere, but they would be persuaded to deliver up the four messengers or if they were gone, that they would send out and bring them back.

It is, therefore, our Request that you proceed forthwith to the army or where you hear said 4 Indian Ambassadors to our Indians 1 Called by the English, Penobscots, or Abenaquis.
