Miro had other agents besides McGillivray who, by the way, was costing Spain, for his own services and those of four tribes aggregating over six thousand warriors, a sum of fifty-five thousand dollars a year.
Robertson, Bledsoe, and Smith were successful in keeping secret their correspondence with McGillivray and Miro; and few were in the secret of Sevier's effort to deliver the State of Franklin to Spain.
Although Sevier was forbidden to hold office under the state, the passage of this act automatically operated to clear him of the alleged offense of high treason. With affairs in Franklin taking this turn, it is little wonder that Gardoqui and Miro paid no further heed to Sevier's proposal to accept the protection of Spain.
You are then to take passage to New Orleans in a barge of furs which Monsieur Gratiot is sending down. Mind, we do not expect that you will obtain proof that Miro is paying Wilkinson money. If you do, so much the better; but we believe that both are too sharp to leave any tracks.

"Slow," shouted Tamate to the engineer. The Miro slackened speed till she just stemmed the running current and no more. "It will be a bit of a shock to them," said Tamate to his friends, "to see this launch.
There was that convivial old fox, Wilkinson, who had plotted for years with Miro and did not sell himself and his country to Spain because as we now say "he found he could do better;" who modestly confessed himself in a traitor's letter to the Spanish king as a man "whose head may err, but whose heart cannot deceive!" and who brought Governor Gayoso to an early death-bed by simply out-drinking him.
'None of your chaffing, young fellow, said the tall girl, 'or I will give you what shall make you wipe your face; be civil, or you will rue it. 'Well, perhaps I was a peg too high, said I; 'I ask your pardon here's something a bit lower: As I was jawing to the gav yeck divvus I met on the drom miro Rommany chi
