It was disavowed on the part of the British commander wifo had forwarded an agent to the Indian , to endeavor to get the property restored—the result was not known when out informant left Detroit. Several strange (nd ans had been prowling about De troit, who would giv,- no accountof themselves, is consequence of which the American com- inaubcr had ordered that all Indians of this description shoal'd ba immediately arrested, and in case of resistance or an attempt to escape to be shot. Mackinaw had not been delivered up by the British, agreeable to treaty, nur had we surren dered Malden. An Ame ican vessel had been cin.il .yed by the British to remove the public property at Mackinaw previous to the surren der of the place.
