CLAIMS ON THE IND1ANs.-A very serious diff
fculty was likely to occur yesterday at the bar
racks. In consequence of previous Judicial pro-
ceedings, Judge Buchanan had allowed two days
for claimants to demand what negroes belonged
TO them; and yesterday morning one Love, hall
breed, as we understand, claimed no less than 81
negroes as the progeny of an old negress, who ran
away from him, being an old woman at the very
time! These negroes belonged to, or were owned
by, an Indian, who proved that he received them
from his father, who also inherited them from his
father thus were they for three generations fairly
presumed to be the property Of the Indians; and
yet, in defiance Of this, the claim was persisted
in, and the officers having them in charge were
obliged to submit. On finding that no remon-
STRANGE would prevail, the Indians rose in body,
determined to re-possess them by force; and to
such pitch of excitement was their anger raised,


that the troops were called out to suppress the tu
mult. Force compelled the captive Seminoles to
desst, but we trust for the sake Of the purity Of
Justice, the correctness of this most suspicious
claim will be thoroughly investigated. On this
petty pretext have these 1900 Indians, with the
steamboats, necessary for their transportation, been
detained four days.-Ne,o Orleans True fine
