NATCHEZ, June 5, 1797.
SIR: I have this moment received private information that
Mr. Power, who I have mentioned to you in my communication
of yesterday, is, by order of the Baron de Carondelet, to
proceed immediately through the wilderness, to the State of
Kentucky. There is every reason to believe that his business
is to forward the views of Spain, by detaching the citizens
of Kentucky from the Union. It has been hinted to me that Mr.
Power will, in the first instance, pay a visit to General
Wilkinson, who, we are informed, is now in Cincinnati.
