Summary
Chiefs and warriors of three western nations of Indians are in the city, but illness prevents Varick from receiving them at present. The term of the approaching court session will be too short to handle all the accumulated business. Wishes an Oyer and Terminer court held in the city, to be presided over by Judges Lewis or Lansing. Congratulations on the fate of the French Mediterranean fleet.
