To anticipate the mif rep refmiati ens which Von Daniel and his friend Bradford may circulate, although they have been actively employed in excit ing [edition among the troops, from their earlieft arrival. I offer you the following brief Jhetch cf the trarfac tion, which occurred when cn a late viftt at the camp of Terre au-Bceuf. On the ictb inft. a Lieut, Cbrif tian of the jib Regiment, reported to Lieut. Blue of the fame corps , that a general revolt was intended as Jo on as the men had received their pay, and that the plan extended from right to left. He mentioned fevered names, and among them are corporal Donald - Jon cj the qth Regiment, and a pri vate by the name of A bunkle of the Ith Regiment, and particularized lEgan the Serge ant-Major of Dra goons, as the propefed loader, wlc is Jaid to be a Britifh defer ter. This report reached the General's ear the morning of the 11 to, and tneafures were immediately adopted to effort ain the grounds cn which it refled. In the CGurfe of the day and night, fiatisfaftory evidence was obtained that a revolt was in agitation, and that a paper had been circulated for ftgnsrs. she General had heard that an overt aft was mceffary to conjiitute treajon and to juflify accufation ■, but be re flected that if be f/jcuid in this infiance wait for the ail, the actors might per haps enter the plea of juflification , and put his authority and the la w at t defiance ■, he therefore refolved , as cn ■ a former cccaficn, to anticipate the confpiraiors. On the morning cf the \ 2th, the hall cartridges were returned by the tf oops, and the guards were flreagth e:\‘J.

On the 1 2-h theenclofed order was ijfued and a general court martial was ordered, to try the offenders. J left camp this morning, where every thing is tranquil.

Head Quarters, Camp Terre au-Psenf, Juiv 13th, 1809. (i It is with extreme pain, the General has heard of much licentious converfation in this camp,fubverjive of every principle of Subordination and difeipline j of patrtotifm and honor, and tending to dififolve thfie high and Jolenin obligations, by which every mil itary man is bound to theJervice of his country ; “ He is fully apprized of the ails which have been employed tofeduce the Incautious and innocent from their duty, to obtain their Signatures to a bond of infamy, and to involve them in utter dtfgrace and ruin.
