The news from the North West is not as gratifying as we could have wished_ The expedition sent out by General Harri- son, under the command of Captain Lang- ham, for the purpose of destroying tiis shipping at Malden, had returned, having found the ice so far open as to defeat their object.- Gen. Harrison himself was, at the last accounts, traversing the state of Ohio, with the view of making arrangements, it was said, for the spring campaign. Under present circumstances, we imagin'; he had better have remained with the army ; un- less, indeed, the breaking up of the ice shall have prevented far the present the ap- proach of a British force. Of the danger from that quarter, however, he unquesti- onably had better information than we can boast of. .YaC. Inc. COMMODORE BAINBRIDGE.

If however it should be on board, it will be found ; and you may rely on my sending it to England for you. If it came from the Java, I have no doubt it was taken amongst some «>t the other baggage.

March 13. Cheering Spictaclk—On Wednes- day last, the inhabitants of this town were gratified with the sight of a large British ship standing into the harbor, having the American stars and stripes tlyiitg owr the red cross of England—being the first ves- sel belonging to the " mother country'* which has entered our water; since the commencement of hostilities on our part. It -vaa the ship Aurora, of 10 guns, a prize to the privateer Holkai of New-York, la- den with dry goods, and sa.d to be worth at least 300,000 dollars f She saluted the town on anchoring,in the Creek ; and is now lightening. May repeated similar occur renecs render the novelty le«s striking ! Phcrnixr.

OCIl WESTERN FRONTIER; St. Louis, February 20. JZvtruct of a letter from Governor lod- irarde, doted February 7. On the 9th instant 10 Indians (supposed to t>c these who were discovered a few dav* before passing through this territory, and in search of whom, I sent on a detachment of militia) killed two families at the the mouth of Cash river, four other trails have also been discovered. It is strange that the rangers at Vincennes did not discover those Indians in their passage from the Wabash. If ranging companies are not fnacie to perform tours of duty in advance r.f all the settlements they v/ill be of little value—those that have been under my dirertasm have for norm* time past been ac- tively employed, and I shall not permit them to be idle. Attract of a Utterfront the ro*!nui*trr oj Ar-v> Madrid to the Editor, dated Feb 1 Hth. rl nis day, three gentlemen landed here from Cincinnati, on their way to Nc w-Or 1** n*. They informed ua that they lander en the evening of the Otlt instant at Mu it uth of Cash, six miles above, the juncti n,of tlit Ohio and Mississipi, a*sd founi the inhabitants massacred by the Indians. At the junction of the riversthey saw some men going to bury the dead, who inform- ed them that there were two families mur- idered by the savages, supposed to Ue Creeks. We understand that Belle Fountalne has a present a garrison of nearly "00 regulars and 150 more will shortly join them. This corps, with a partizan corps of 3000 men shortly expected, if placed at the proper pointy would with the at of our militia give the British (if any should venture this way) and Indians a warm reception. On the return of Gcmo aOd other hostile Indians to their villages, from our frontiers last summer and autumn, thev said they could have killed a numbei -of militia, as their warriors were often passed by as they lay concealed in tile long grass and bushes, hut were fearful of alarming the country. They also said that they could have cut off many families, hut for the fierce dogs the farmers kept aboat their houses. I'rom this report cf the Indians, we may , he taught a lesson, that dogs might he suc- | cessfully used.-Had every party who j went out ranging taken a few Jogs, cv iery lurking Indian in their rente would j be discovered and shot.—.—Mr.1 Ed- j wards, in his history of the West In- dies remarks, that the savages of Cuba could never have been so soon conquered, but for the dogs which was trained to hunt them.

General Harrison, we are informed, is now in the interior of the state, in order to organize the reinforcements destined for the north western Army, and hasten their departure. the General is expected in town this day. i he time of service of the Virginia troops expires in few days. It would be injustice to that corps and to their gallant leader, to withhold from them the just tri- bute of applause to which their mcritori- ! ous conduct during the last campaign so justly entities them. They have deserved weil of their country ; and'will, undoubted !y, be received? by their countrymen on their return to private life, with those expressions of gratitude for their services winch are the sweetest rewards of the soldier. Hiob wa.trits—Owing to heavy- and continued falls cf rain in the course of last week, the Scioto river rose, on Saturday last, several feet higher than it had been known to rise lor several years. We are sorry to leatn fthat a valuable grist and sawmill, the property of Mr. Kerr, of this neigh- bourhood, has been almost entirely swept away by the rapidity of the current. jt'redonian. The Head-Quarters of the north western Army were still at the Rapids at the last dates, 'flic troops were fortifying themselves to the best ad\ antage, waiting the arrival of reinforcements before they proceed atrainst the on.-.my. It is to be hoped that the time is not far distant when the army will be enabled to resume its march. Our readers will recollect, that some time in the month of October last, General Winchester ordered General Tupper under arrest, under pretence of disobedience of orders. The following result of the exa- mination by a Court of Enquiry lately con- vened for the occasion, will shew the futi- lity of the charges exhibited against that officer. GENERAL ORDERS.' (COPY.) fftad-Qvarttrr, Miami Sapid*, Feb. IF, 1815.' Certain charges of misconduct having been alledeed against Hrigadier-General j Ednird IK. Tufi/ier, of the first brigade of Ohio militia, row in .the service of the U. Statos, as cotnmarding officer of a mounted force, intended for an expedition down the Miami Kiver, on or about the day of October, 1812; and ail in- vestigation by the proper authority having been demanded by the said Brigadier-Ge- neral Tapper, a Court of Enquiry, to con- sist of Brigadier-General Erfttuicli, of the Virginia militia, President, Brigadier-Ge- neral Crooki, of the Pennsylvania militia, land Major A mot Stoddard, of the first regiment U. S. Artillerists# Members, is hereby appointed to meet this dty, at ten o’clock, a. m. to examine and enquire into the nature of the aforesaid charges; which charges together with the testimony in sup- port thereof w ill be laid before the Court by the Division Judge Advocate, John S. H'lllt, Enq. who will net as Recorder; and the Court is hereby empowered and re- quired to give its opinion as to the real inc- ; its of the case for the information cf the ! commanding General. By older, NATH. F. ADAM?,, Dr/iutq Adj, Gen* OPINION OF THE COURT. > After mature investigation, it appears to the Court, that the following are tne injut i- ous reports in circulation against Brigadier- General Edward W. Tupper, viz:—That he refused or neglected to obey theordsri of General IVinchctttr, of the 6th and 7th October, 1812; and that he improperly omitted to pursue, with an organized force, the Indians, who shot one of his men on the 5th of the same month. General Tupper admits, that he did no' obey the above orders, and neglected t< pursue the Indians as above Stated; and at an excuse or justification of his conduct 1 relative to Said orders, he adduced to this : Coui t satisfactory proofs of the foil.iwiiq facts, viz:—That most of the ammunition ir l' pot session of the soldiery vr as damaged bj long anil frequent rains, and rendered un lit tor service ; that he called for a supply, but was unable to obtain it ; that the troop: were almost destitute of provisions, ami :i supply could not be obtained ; that the force of the enemy was represented as much su- penor to their own : all which ciicumstnn- ces combined to create a panic among them, anil to induce a considerable proportion ol them to refuse marching under the afore- said orders. It also appeared iu evidence, that General Topper was, at the same time, acting under the superior orders ol General Marrhon, of the 4th of the same month. l-rom a whole view of the evidence ix this case, and the peculiar circumstances attending it, the Court is, decidedly, of opinion, that the execution of the above orders was rendered impracticable on the part ot General Tupper, and that too from reasons not within his control ; that he act- ed wisely in not pursuing th* Indian*. with an organized force, who shot one ot Itis men, as aforesaid, as a considerable number ol his men advanced, iu pursuit of the Indi- ans, in such haste, that they could not be properly organized ; and as the character of that transaction a Horded sufficient evi- dence, tu a prudent General, that a violent attach was meditated from another quar- tci ; and that, therefore. General Topper stands acquitted, iu the opinion of this Court, of all censure and blame, and that there is no just foundation for the injurious reports in circulation. JOEL LEFTWICH, Jiric. Gen. l*residcnt. Jcrw S. Wills, Div. Judge Advocate. The opinion of the Court of Enquiry, ordered to investigate the conduct of Brjga- dier-Geieral Edward W. Tuppcr, of the Ohio|militia, is approved by the command- ing General, and the Court is hereby dis- solved. NAJHANIEL F. ADAMS, Dejiuty Adi. Gen. Cincinnati, March 13. We have received intelligence from the Arm/ at the Rapids as late as the 1st. inst. two days previous to which time, a detach- ment of about 150 m*n and SO Indians, un- der the command of captain Langham, had* left there c^p a secret expedition—the ob- ject was raid to be the destruction rf the Queen Charlotte, which (hom the bust in- formation that could be obtained) lay with- in 20* yards of Fort Malden—on the ^uine evening another; detachment of 500 men started for th©''purpose of acting as a re- serve to caputs Langham's party, in case of necessity. We are informed tins morning, bv a gentleman who Uft the Rapids last" Satur- day, that the above mentioned enteapri/e liad failed in consequaace of the rotten- ness ct the ice on the l Wi also hear that general Harris** wdl be here in a day or two. Frank lint on, O. March 12. General Harrison and twite arrived here on Wednesday from the Rapids. The Ge- neral, we understand, is »omg to Cincin- nati. The object of his present tour is to organise the army intended tor the spring campaign. The army at thr Rapids were in good health when the General left it.

In lers than SO minutes after the regiment was paraded in order, 10* young men vo luntecrcd under lieutenant P.

M/.acKR, (Pa.) March 13. C9Mn.iMF.rtS—On Saturday the 27th i tl,e Adjutant commanding at Fort J Gcor sent a 11 g over to our garrison, in- forming Lt. Col. M'Fceljr, that a salute i V/°1"'1 0n following day, be fif'd, in con- •sequence o. ti.eir succe^ at Ogdensburg. 1 he same evening, an cxpregi .arrived at j nuda.oe, with an account of the encage ijmer.t between the American frigate Cr,n ;]atitution an fthfe British frigate J^va, which ij eventuated in the total destruction of the latter*—and on Sunday morning a flag was sent over to Fort Erie, to inform the Bri- tish ot the victory and that a salute would he filed on the occasion. All the Americans who remained at De- troit alter the surrender, and who refused to take the oath required, have been, (on ihe approach of Harrison) ordered to leave the territory, and their property exposed to the mercy ot the savages, contrary even t>» the stipulations in Hull’s capitulation, 4 '■ as it was, £< although a permit to j ass o-. er to Fort Niagara is given by Col. Proctor nt Malden, yet it is with much difficulty that they are permitted to leave Newark, and in almost every instance < bliged to leave a great part of their property without getting one cent for it, and haughtily ordered not to s.'t their foot again on ihe Canada shore. 1 wo very handsome beddings were some time since reduced to ashes in the town of Chippewa on the Canada side of the Niuga ra river opposite Fort Schlosser, by the exasperated militia who had been then detained from their homes for a length of i time without being permitted to see their families, 5cc. who were suffering behind them. We are informed that those militia were soon after permitted to retire. 1 h* Navy Yard at the town of Frie be- gins to look us it should do. It is crowded with timber and workmen—a number of ship-carpenters from Sacket’s Harbor, hew York, dec. Iiav« arrived within a few days past. Three of the gun boats will soon be finished. These boats are 50 feet straight, rabbit keel, 17 feet beam, 5 feet in the hold, and to mount 24s, and 22s. The [ keels «f two sloops of war will be laid in u few days ; they are to carry 20 and 22 guns, and from the preparations already made, it is considered those vessels will lie rea- dy to sail by the time the ice is clever- ly till the lake.—These vessels, together with those fitting out at Black. Hock, will be able to give a good account of trio Queen Charlotte, Lady Mary, brig Hunter, tkc, and will no doubt insure to us the navigation of the lake ; the loss of which lust season has been so severely ■felt, as well by the government, as the ci- tizens generally, in this western section of | the state. A gentleman wh* had been ordered from Detroit in consequence oi his refusal to take ; the oath required, arrived at Lewistown on the 27th ult. informed the editor, that the miliiiiyjif Oxford, a large and well set- ! tied township, above the head of Lake On- h tario, peremptorily refused to march against i General Harrison ; and that numbers in dirt erent places w ould pay their fine.-., ra- ther than turn out against the United States. Ai bant, March 16. United State** Loan.— The books of sub- scription for the United States loan, were opened at the State and Farmers and Ale- I chatties’ banks, m this city, cn Friday and ] Saturday last. The subscriptions in the State bank exceeded S220,0C0. From Sacket s Harbor, wc receive in- formation almost daily. Our force at that place is respectable, and is daily augment- ing by patriotic militia, who are voluntavi- 1 y marching to its defence. Col. Pike had arrived with his regiment from Plattsburgh. The troops were in health and in hitth sci- rits. v A spy had been overtaken on his way to the enemy, and plans of the fortifications, of the position of the shipping, and ail ac- curate statement of the disposition and a- j mouiil of our force, found on him. We understand lie was tried by a court martial, found guilty, and sentenoed to be hung, Gen. Lewis received a letter from Gen. \ Deai born, or. Sunday evening, stating that information had been received from the Ca- nadca side, that gov. Provost had been to Montreal, and returned to Kingston, with a reinforcement of 5000 men. The number is probably murh exaggerated. We have conversed with ah intelligent officer from the Niagara frontier, who in-1 forms, that the movements of the enemy indicated an intention to cross at Lewiston that boats had been collected at Queens- ton from Chippewa and Fort George, and that a partial embarkation had at one time taken place. The enemy’s force was prin- cipally concentrated ?t Gueenston and Fort uu.ij am aooui reg'J- larsn.ndlOO militia in Fort Erie amt 'it* Neighborhood. Whether the offensive indications uf the enemy were intended to deceive uf as to their real force, or wi re 1 too prelude to an intended attack, it is dit- hcult to say. Tt is certain that the most I efficient man had been selected and ije'n on to Malden. Apprehensions of an immedi ate attar.it fiom Harrison had subsided, in consequence of the breaking up of the ice m the river Detroit. Col. F met or, it wasun* derstoOd, hud arrived at Fort Detroit.

Washington, Marsh 24. The news from the North West is not

as gratifying as we could have wished_ The expedition sent out by General Harri- son, under the command of Captain Lang- ham, for the purpose of destroying tiis shipping at Malden, had returned, having found the ice so far open as to defeat their object.-

Gen. Harrison himself was, at the last accounts, traversing the state of Ohio, with the view of making arrangements, it was

said, for the spring campaign. Under present circumstances, we imagin'; he had better have remained with the army ; un-

less, indeed, the breaking up of the ice shall have prevented far the present the ap- proach of a British force. Of the danger from that quarter, however, he unquesti- onably had better information than we can boast of. .YaC. Inc.

Dear Sir—It is painful for me to learn that you have lost the plate presented by the colony of Demarara ; it cannot be found on board here ; and I candidly be- lieve it is not. If however it should be on

board, it will be found ; and you may rely on my sending it to England for you. If it came from the Java, I have no doubt it was taken amongst some «>t the other baggage.

With great esteem, fee. (Signed) W. BAINBKIDGE.

.So inform you that in opening some large cases of my baggage, ore of them has been found to contain t^vo chests, one of which proves to be the one which could not be accounted for this morning, and arose from the incorrectness of the silver-smith in numbering the pac!- ages. I am extremely sorry thio circumstance should have o«ca- sioned you any trouble, and beg to assure

you that I shall always remain, with great esteem and respect, dear sir, your very ob’t servant.

Proiidenc'e, (R .1.) March 13. Cheering Spictaclk—On Wednes-

day last, the inhabitants of this town were gratified with the sight of a large British ship standing into the harbor, having the American stars and stripes tlyiitg owr the red cross of England—being the first ves- sel belonging to the " mother country'* which has entered our water; since the commencement of hostilities on our part. It -vaa the ship Aurora, of 10 guns, a prize to the privateer Holkai of New-York, la- den with dry goods, and sa.d to be worth at least 300,000 dollars f She saluted the town on anchoring,in the Creek ; and is now

lightening. May repeated similar occur renecs render the novelty le«s striking !

OCIl WESTERN FRONTIER; St. Louis, February 20.

JZvtruct of a letter from Governor lod- irarde, doted February 7.

On the 9th instant 10 Indians (supposed to t>c these who were discovered a few dav* before passing through this territory, and in search of whom, I sent on a detachment of militia) killed two families at the the mouth of Cash river, four other trails have also been discovered. It is strange that the rangers at Vincennes did not discover those Indians in their passage from the Wabash. If ranging companies are not fnacie to perform tours of duty in advance r.f all the settlements they v/ill be of little value—those that have been under my dirertasm have for norm* time past been ac-

tively employed, and I shall not permit them to be idle.

from Cincinnati, on their way to Nc w-Or 1** n*. They informed ua that they lander en the evening of the Otlt instant at Mu it uth of Cash, six miles above, the juncti

the inhabitants massacred by the Indians. At the junction of the riversthey saw some men going to bury the dead, who inform- ed them that there were two families mur-

idered by the savages, supposed to Ue Creeks.

We understand that Belle Fountalne has a present a garrison of nearly "00 regulars and 150 more will shortly join them. This corps, with a partizan corps of 3000 men shortly expected, if placed at the proper pointy would with the at of our militia give the British (if any should venture this way) and Indians a warm reception.

On the return of Gcmo aOd other hostile Indians to their villages, from our frontiers last summer and autumn, thev said they could have killed a numbei -of militia, as their warriors were often passed by as they lay concealed in tile long grass and bushes, hut were fearful of alarming the

country. They also said that they could have cut off many families, hut for the fierce dogs the farmers kept aboat their houses.

I'rom this report cf the Indians, we may , he taught a lesson, that dogs might he suc-

| cessfully used.-Had every party who j went out ranging taken a few Jogs, cv iery lurking Indian in their rente would j be discovered and shot.—.—Mr.1 Ed- j wards, in his history of the West In- dies remarks, that the savages of Cuba could never have been so soon conquered, but for the dogs which was trained to hunt them.

K^ntuttozftr, March 17. General Harrison, we are informed, is

now in the interior of the state, in order to organize the reinforcements destined for the north western Army, and hasten their departure. the General is expected in town this day.

i he time of service of the Virginia troops expires in few days. It would be injustice to that corps and to their gallant leader, to withhold from them the just tri- bute of applause to which their mcritori-

! ous conduct during the last campaign so justly entities them. They have deserved weil of their country ; and'will, undoubted !y, be received? by their countrymen

on their return to private life, with those expressions of gratitude for their services winch are the sweetest rewards of the soldier.

The Head-Quarters of the north western Army were still at the Rapids at the last dates, 'flic troops were fortifying themselves to the best ad\ antage, waiting the arrival of reinforcements before they proceed atrainst the on.-.my. It is to be hoped that the time is not far distant when the army will be enabled to resume its march.

Our readers will recollect, that some time in the month of October last, General Winchester ordered General Tupper under arrest, under pretence of disobedience of orders. The following result of the exa- mination by a Court of Enquiry lately con- vened for the occasion, will shew the futi- lity of the charges exhibited against that officer.

By older, NATH. F. ADAM?,,

Dr/iutq Adj, Gen* OPINION OF THE COURT.

> After mature investigation, it appears to the Court, that the following are tne injut i- ous reports in circulation against Brigadier- General Edward W. Tupper, viz:—That he refused or neglected to obey theordsri

• of General IVinchctttr, of the 6th and 7th October, 1812; and that he improperly omitted to pursue, with an organized force, the Indians, who shot one of his men on the 5th of the same month.

General Tupper admits, that he did no' obey the above orders, and neglected t<

pursue the Indians as above Stated; and at an excuse or justification of his conduct

1 relative to Said orders, he adduced to this : Coui t satisfactory proofs of the foil.iwiiq

facts, viz:—That most of the ammunition ir l' pot session of the soldiery vr as damaged bj

long anil frequent rains, and rendered un lit tor service ; that he called for a supply, but was unable to obtain it ; that the troop: were almost destitute of provisions, ami :i

supply could not be obtained ; that the force of the enemy was represented as much su- penor to their own : all which ciicumstnn- ces combined to create a panic among them, anil to induce a considerable proportion ol them to refuse marching under the afore- said orders. It also appeared iu evidence, that General Topper was, at the same time, acting under the superior orders ol General Marrhon, of the 4th of the same month.

l-rom a whole view of the evidence ix this case, and the peculiar circumstances attending it, the Court is, decidedly, of opinion, that the execution of the above orders was rendered impracticable on the part ot General Tupper, and that too from reasons not within his control ; that he act- ed wisely in not pursuing th* Indian*. with an organized force, who shot one ot Itis men, as aforesaid, as a considerable number ol his men advanced, iu pursuit of the Indi- ans, in such haste, that they could not be properly organized ; and as the character of that transaction a Horded sufficient evi- dence, tu a prudent General, that a violent attach was meditated from another quar- tci ; and that, therefore. General Topper stands acquitted, iu the opinion of this Court, of all censure and blame, and that there is no just foundation for the injurious reports in circulation.

JOEL LEFTWICH, Jiric. Gen. l*residcnt.

Jcrw S. Wills, Div. Judge Advocate. The opinion of the Court of Enquiry, ordered to investigate the conduct of Brjga-

dier-Geieral Edward W. Tuppcr, of the Ohio|militia, is approved by the command- ing General, and the Court is hereby dis- solved.

NAJHANIEL F. ADAMS, Dejiuty Adi. Gen.

Cincinnati, March 13. We have received intelligence from the

Arm/ at the Rapids as late as the 1st. inst. two days previous to which time, a detach- ment of about 150 m*n and SO Indians, un- der the command of captain Langham, had* left there c^p a secret expedition—the ob- ject was raid to be the destruction rf the Queen Charlotte, which (hom the bust in- formation that could be obtained) lay with- in 20* yards of Fort Malden—on the ^uine evening another; detachment of 500 men started for th©''purpose of acting as a re- serve to caputs Langham's party, in case of necessity.

We are informed tins morning, bv a gentleman who Uft the Rapids last" Satur- day, that the above mentioned enteapri/e liad failed in consequaace of the rotten- ness ct the ice on the l Wi also hear that general Harris** wdl be here in a day or two.

on Wednesday from the Rapids. The Ge- neral, we understand, is »omg to Cincin- nati. The object of his present tour is to organise the army intended tor the spring campaign.

might think it worth while to get pos- sesession of this river, if it were oniy to get out their immense property and year's hunt from the north. A fleet at "the mouth would co-operate for the object.”

Frankfort, K. March 10. Oh I tmrsday, the 4th instant, the regi-

ment of militia ol this county was paraded on the commons in this place, for the pur- pose of furnishing from it 72 men. its quo. ta of the 300t) ordered to be raised by an act ot the late Legislature of)this state. In lers than SO minutes after the regiment was paraded in order, 10* young men vo luntecrcd under lieutenant P. Dudley, who had but a few days previous returned from j the Army under General Harrison. On yesterday they were mustered and inspect- ed, when the number was increased to 115. Lieutenant Dudley was appointed Captain : George Balt/.ell, firvt lieutenant ; Samuel I Arnold, second lieutenant; and George! Gale, ensign.

We understand about £3500 was sub- scribed, to go towards equipping the volun-

i V/°1"'1 0n following day, be fif'd, in con- • •sequence o. ti.eir succe^ at Ogdensburg. 1 he same evening, an cxpregi .arrived at j nuda.oe, with an account of the encage

ijmer.t between the American frigate Cr,n ;]atitution an fthfe British frigate J^va, which ij eventuated in the total destruction of the

latter*—and on Sunday morning a flag was

■ sent over to Fort Erie, to inform the Bri- tish ot the victory and that a salute would he filed on the occasion.

All the Americans who remained at De- troit alter the surrender, and who refused to take the oath required, have been, (on ihe approach of Harrison) ordered to leave the territory, and their property exposed to the mercy ot the savages, contrary even t>» the stipulations in Hull’s capitulation,

4 '■ as it was, £< although a permit to j ass o-. er to Fort Niagara is given by Col. Proctor nt Malden, yet it is with much difficulty that they are permitted to leave Newark, and in almost every instance < bliged to leave a great part of their property without getting one cent for it, and haughtily ordered not to s.'t their foot again on ihe Canada shore.

1 wo very handsome beddings were some time since reduced to ashes in the town of Chippewa on the Canada side of the Niuga ra river opposite Fort Schlosser, by the exasperated militia who had been then detained from their homes for a length of i time without being permitted to see their families, 5cc. who were suffering behind them. We are informed that those militia were soon after permitted to retire.

1 h* Navy Yard at the town of Frie be- gins to look us it should do. It is crowded with timber and workmen—a number of ship-carpenters from Sacket’s Harbor, hew York, dec. Iiav« arrived within a few days past. Three of the gun boats will soon be finished. These boats are 50 feet straight, rabbit keel, 17 feet beam, 5 feet in the hold, and to mount 24s, and 22s. The

[ keels «f two sloops of war will be laid in u few days ; they are to carry 20 and 22 guns, and from the preparations already made, it is considered those vessels will lie rea- dy to sail by the time the ice is clever- ly till the lake.—These vessels, together with those fitting out at Black. Hock, will be able to give a good account of trio Queen Charlotte, Lady Mary, brig Hunter, tkc, and will no doubt insure to us the navigation of the lake ; the loss of which lust season has been so severely ■felt, as well by the government, as the ci- tizens generally, in this western section of | the state.

A gentleman wh* had been ordered from Detroit in consequence oi his refusal to take ; the oath required, arrived at Lewistown on the 27th ult. informed the editor, that the miliiiiyjif Oxford, a large and well set- ! tied township, above the head of Lake On- h tario, peremptorily refused to march against i General Harrison ; and that numbers in dirt erent places w ould pay their fine.-., ra- ther than turn out against the United States.

From Sacket s Harbor, wc receive in- formation almost daily. Our force at that place is respectable, and is daily augment- ing by patriotic militia, who are voluntavi- 1

y marching to its defence. Col. Pike had arrived with his regiment from Plattsburgh. The troops were in health and in hitth sci- rits. v

A spy had been overtaken on his way to the enemy, and plans of the fortifications, of the position of the shipping, and ail ac- curate statement of the disposition and a- j mouiil of our force, found on him. We understand lie was tried by a court martial, found guilty, and sentenoed to be hung, Gen. Lewis received a letter from Gen. \ Deai born, or. Sunday evening, stating that information had been received from the Ca- nadca side, that gov. Provost had been to Montreal, and returned to Kingston, with a reinforcement of 5000 men. The number is probably murh exaggerated.

We have conversed with ah intelligent officer from the Niagara frontier, who in-1 forms, that the movements of the enemy indicated an intention to cross at Lewiston that boats had been collected at Queens- ton from Chippewa and Fort George, and that a partial embarkation had at one time taken place. The enemy’s force was prin- cipally concentrated ?t Gueenston and Fort

uu.ij am aooui reg'J- larsn.ndlOO militia in Fort Erie amt 'it* Neighborhood. Whether the offensive indications uf the enemy were intended to deceive uf as to their real force, or wi re 1

too prelude to an intended attack, it is dit- hcult to say. Tt is certain that the most I efficient man had been selected and ije'n on to Malden. Apprehensions of an immedi ate attar.it fiom Harrison had subsided, in consequence of the breaking up of the ice m the river Detroit. Col. F met or, it wasun* derstoOd, hud arrived at Fort Detroit.
