*• Three captain* arrived here Jaft night,
who the late engagement to the west
ward; they speak in high terms of Dr, Wil
liam M'Codiry of your town. They fay he
dreHcd more wounded men than any other
futgeoo. In short, that he did hi* duty, and
behaved with coolnef* and intrepidity. I can
not conceal from you the pleasure it gave me
to hear of auy acquaintance that wa« in the
lata oft ion, having di (charged so important a
trust with to much credit to himfelf and ho
nor to hia country. 1 flatter myfelf that
Congref* will reward such fervice*. One of
the officer* of the 2d regiment aflured me that
hit korfc fell and hurt him so much, that he
could not get up; that major Butler came
along, and although grievouily wounded, ob
served him, flopt, and told him he must try
to get up •, and called to a person who had a
borle to come forward and help him up, which
order be -obeyed, and got him mounted and
laved hi* life. At thi* moment also be got
Captaiti Doyle mounted, and that au Indian
♦red, and (hot captain Doyle’* horse through
the body. He lay* that major Butler's leg
was so (battered, that at that moment, while
fpcaking, observed it hanging loose. In (hort,
so much bravery and humanity fearep centered

By a gentleman who pasted through Albany
00 Friday tbedth inftaut, on his way to the
feat of government, from Niagara, which
place he left the Bth ult. we have received
the following fsrious information, which may
be depended on. He fays the British have
built two new schooners, which wire launch
ed last summer, each carrying'eight ecu fix
pouuder*, and a galley carrying a 32 pounder
m the bow—all laying now at Detroit; end
that they arc collecting material* at th# fame
place for building a large (hip immediately ;'
t that 2500 barrels more of provisions and am
munition have pafied the carrying place at
Niagara this' fall, than *any yrihr finer the
peace—for'what purpose time will unfold. It
will be but justice, however, to add, that our
informant wa* in the garrifou at Niagara fuun
after the defeat of our army, and that the
Smith officers appeared to sympathize in our
snitfortime with a great deal of fiucerity. It
.' Is supposed that a .cell of implacable bloody
minded loyalists, who are flrung alpng the
gicat lakes, have been the principal cause of
exciting such a general spirit for war among
the Indians,].
Ye out-caft* of society, beware of your
Heps ; think not to disturb the repose, or in-
Cult t he dignity of an independent nation much
longer with impunity. Once the 15 arras of

A London paper, of the 19th of Novem

One of the plans laid before the legislature
of the United States by M. D. L. Morel, fee

couraging whites to intermarry .with'them*
This it ir well known, was the former policy
among the French,- when they held Canada,
and operated - so powerfully in .attaching the
Indian tribes te that me ion, that they Could
at all times command them, to the prejudice
of the Engliib. Hence too, j* is thought,

whom they always termed their father ;
whereas it was hy dint of great presents on
