A letter from Fort Detroit , Sept. 9, 1763. # Since my last we have had several skirmishes with small parties of the enemy, in taking possession of three hoafes about 560 yards up the river, which prevents the Indians coming so near the fort to difeover our motions. The 4th inst. about eight o’clock in the evening, 3 or 400 Indians in canoes, went off to attack our schooner that was coming up the river from Niagara withprovifions. They met her becalmed about 9 miles from the fort, with only 1 2 hands on boird, who defended themselves so bravely, that the Indians, after attacking with grdat resolution on all sides, were obliged'to retire with the loss of many killed and wounded, 7of which are since dead of their wounds. The Indians attempted to enter the schooner by the cabbin windows, but were obliged to fell aflern, and several were killed by endeavouring to board by the bowiprit. . The number of the Indians killed'on the fpflt is uncertain, fome * fay ten ; but they have been busy for several days past fifli ing and searching for dead bodies. Mr. Horsey, master of the schooner, and one man were killed, three wounded, and another burnt by the burning of a cannon cartridge. * The Indians werefo roughly handled that they hive declared, they never will attempt to attack the English by water any more; and they having heard the captain of the fthooner fay to his men in l the a&ion, Stand by my brervc fcL lows, to the last , and then blow up the veftil; which was *anf wered by the crew with threq cheers, the Indians imagined they would neither give npr take quarter, left the schooner m the greatest confufion, and two canoes were overfet by 5 okur 0 k ur J™** B y ‘l* blood on the spears and lancets on board the schooner, and the spirits of the Indians being much flagged since, they must certainly have met with a confider aoic loss; but as we are surrounded witfi a parcel of rafeals who never bring us any news to the disadvantage of the enemy, it is impossible to know what mifehief we Have done them. * rJ V m r mediate,y J the a s lon * whicl * w n><> and smart, fonr armed battoes, with a four pounder in each, and two officers, and * + men, were ordered on board the brought her fafe here the 6th inftaat. with r, e „ f n onfe f- ‘ h 7 ! , . ad ,en kil,cd at the attack with Capt.
