NiiW-yORK, JULY 25. INDIAN WAR. A letter, received in this city tieman at Detroit, (dated 24th of June) dates that “the Sack Indians aud Oiowas has sent in their chit s to council at Malden. They are fpreadiug the war belt in every di rection —their object is war with the Osages on the MilMippi. They applied for th 6 afftltance of tiie Hurons, who anfwet£ 1, that they were in treaty of peace (made at Grenville) with the U nited States; that they had buried the hatchet, and would not take it up again. The Sacks and Oiowas replied, Wc fliali then know how to treat you when we cpiffe forward. ,, -~ The Osages, it is laid, will claim the protection of Weft Louiliana ; and it is believed that the United States will be involved in the war. The troops ought to be returned to this place, and the fortifications {lengthened. We are, indeed, in a miierable situation for defence the citadel in ashes, the fort defer red, and only a few draggling sol diers about the ship yards.

JULY 29. On Tuesday last, five prisoners made their el’cape from Hiflfbo rough goal, viz. John Jones, Tho mas Mauripe, Abraham Collins, Nathan Holtfclaw, and John Jtft er. Jones and Maurice having been convlfted at the last Federal Court for this diftridt of forging or puffing counterfeit United States Bank Notes, and Collins and Holtfclaw held for trial at the next term for like offences. Jcfter was charged with horse Healing. A reward of ipe dollars is offered by the (heriff for each of the counter feits, and twenty-five for the horse stealer. It seems there are two doors (an purer and an inner) to the entrance of the goal. When the goaler enters the firft door, fame perfou always attends for fe ctirity, to lock it after him before he opens the fecund door. On the goaler’g entrance on Tuesday eve ning, this precaution was observed as usual ; but by fome means, the inner door was open, and on the goaler*s opening the . outer door, the above prisoners all rulhed up on him, knocked him down* made •?their escape and have not since been heard of.
