The events of the early part of the year 1810, were such as to leave little doubt of the hostile intentions of the broth- UFB OF TBCUMSBM. 113 era. la the latter part of April, governor Harrison was informed, upon credible authority, that the Pro- phet was really instigating the Indiana to acts of hos- tility against the United States; and that he had under his immediate control about four hundred warriors, chiefly composed of Kickapoos and Winnebagoes, but embracing also some Shawanoes, Potawa...tamies, Chip- pewas, and Ottawas. The traders among them at- tributed this hostile feeling to British influence. That the followers of the Prophet had received a supply of powder and ball from the English agents, was general- ly admitted. They refused to buy ammunition from our traders, alleging that they were plentifully supplied from a quarter where it cost them nothing. About the middle of May, it was ascertained that the number of warriors with the Prophet, amounted to more than six hundred men, and there were reasons to apprehend that his influence had kindled a hostile feeling among several of the tribes to the west and north of his head quarters.
