Our Indians . —Wc have
received authentic informa
tion, which enables us ro af
lu:e our readers that the in-'
dians who lately assided in
defending Black Rock from
the attack ot the Britiih,
conducted themselves in luch
away as to reflect: great ho
-1 ni-r upon themselves and to i
put to (li.Ane the enemy’s
boaiF of their iuperior hu
manity. The Indians bro’t
in a -number of prisoners
without injuring a hair of
their heads. Not a tingle
indance of tomahawking or
fcaiping occurred, although i
frequent opportunities tor
both were afforded. A Bri
tiih officer, capt. Sanaers, '
was (hot down by an Inui- ;
an, who advanced towards
him, and the captain was in j
momentary expectation or !
being tomahaw N. vd. Intlead i
of which the Indian com- !
miferated his fufferings and !
passed on. The grateful
captain is determined to re -
ward the tawny native by a
fuitablc present. Christi
ans ! Men ! Americans !
Compare this conduCt of the
untutored savage with that
of the civilized, humane,
magnanimous British on
hoard the Chesapeake, and
at Hampton, draw you own
conciufions.
The brave major Chapin
has again diftinguithed hur»-
felf and his valiant Corps,
by eroding to the othei d te
and capturing two British
officers and some privates.
The captain of the Prince
Regent is one of his prilon
ers. The gallant major is j
differently rewarded by dsr- I
Jerent people. The fede- |
ralifts, particularly at Bloom- !
field, that neit of torics and :
B.itisn officers represent him ;
and Ids company as a man - j
rauding plundering banditti
who have no other object
but private gain. It 13 said j
that the major has been re
cently expelled from the
Washington Benevolent So
ciety ot Buffalde, for his ex- j
eriions in defending his
country, his fire-fiJe, and j
his property. This is all !
ri^hr. On the other fide the j
major ha", received the es
teem, applaufeand gratitude •
of everj friend to his couo
try, and rve have no doubt
will speedily meet the hon
orable notice of the govern
ment. VVe (carcely know j
whether lie is mure honored ■
in receiving the approbation
of his country or the cxecra- 1
c . J
lion ot us enemies.

Rock, we Icirn that the

is another proof of tbc pro
liigacy of the Britiih govern
j merit and its allies. With
out consulting or even men

THE CREDIT
OFTIHiGOY E !< N M E N T •
In a debate the other day
on the Salt bill, Mr Han
son whose life was spared
by the humanity of the peo
ple to kill and maim wh un
iie had provided “ ll igs,
j fwivcls and lathing hatch-
J ets,” this Mr Hanson touk
j occasion to lay that the tax
J fcherne was intended a> a
Baud on the public credit
; ors; tuat there was no in -
| tention to lay them ; that
! the money lenders would
i fae through the artifice and
| thus the public credit would
entirely fail.
Mr. Bibb, who in the re
; gretted ablence of Mr.
1 fippef, lias aded as chair
man of the committee ot
\
1 Ways and Means, said that
! as to Hanlon’s oblervations
j he should not trouble him
fdf to reply, but he would
. observe that the Loans al-!
ready obtained, tho’ matter |
of the highett gratificaiion 1
to every true American, had j
become more so, becaufe l
1 obtained in spire of a most
treacherous opposition : But
so found was public credit
that 5 ,000,000 of dolhu 8,
! could be had, at tint mo
; cnent, within the dittridt of
Columbia.
Mr llanfon got up and
I hesitatingly Loitered out an
1 attemptat denial. Mr. Bibb,
without noticing the rude
‘
ness ©f Hanlon, said, “ I
“ converted latt evening with
j ** a man who has come pre
i “ pared and ready to make
| and tultill the cowtradt.”
Hanson with all his effron
tery locked abaflied and
lu:ik down, riot merely in
to iiis chair, but noarly un.
der the desk in tho vain
hope of hiding himfclf.
Tne denials of his aflertions
; & the mortitications heaped
up"n this man's h.-ad have
: been more than
1 thole which have befallen a
! ny man on his entrance into
{ public life ; the hopes
i which had been excited by
1 hu puffing himfclf off in hi.-

Buffaloe, July 27.
Since our last paper there
has been frequent lkirmnhes
in the neighborhood of Fort
George—foraging parties &
ihv picket guards have been
repeatedly attacked; in one '
of thole affairs the enemy’s 1
loss was very serious; 60 or 1
70 are said to have been kil
led. Sunday evening a can
nonading was heard in the
direction of Fort George.
Ihe pickets ol the enemy
are within fight ot ours be

toa place where oar troops
landed on the 27th May.
Tnree ot our armed fchrs. 1
have arrived at Fort Niaga- I
ra, which brought up oe
twee 1 two and 300 Jailors,
who passed here on Friday
latt, to enter on board com
modore Ferry’s squadron at
Erie. Ic is laid that the
Bi in 111 fleet have gone into
Ringiton, and that our flee
is n >vv cut This probably
is only a manoeuvre ot the
enemy to get our fleet uivi
dtd, fj that they may take
it by peacemeal.

I think in my latt I men- !
ti ned the fafe return of the
| ur g es lent off by
lore Decatur. I have liuce
learnt particulars which I
relate. i'ho object of the
expedition, 1 underitand,
was to taice a captain of one
of their rhips, and other of-
I fleers whom, it is laid,
I lodged on lliore at Gaidi-
I ner a liland. for this pur
-1 pole they started on Monday
! lad. Xu the night the boats
j Separated, and three of them
[ went to Stg Harbor ; and
| the other in the night land.
led at Gardiner’s llland. la
| the morning they found
j thenilelves within teach of
the guns of the Rimilies.
and deemed it necedary to
; tpait their boar. Inc cre'v
j conning of a midlhipman
and live or h*: men, imme
diately proceeded to Gardi
ner s home, where they
louud the firfi and third
i lieutenant, the failing mas-
rer, and live men of the
Kamilies. The tnidfhip
tr*an *1 entering, the
lieutenant that he and
his corps were Americans,
and they were his pnfuners,
| and that he had his cho-'ce
| to go with him to thr
i American squadron. The
! lieutenant at firft hesitated
! but being told that he
mud anl wer him immediate
ly, the lieutenant conclu
ding I fuppofc, that he had
a number of men befi ies on
the iilund, considering it
j mod prudent lor himfelf
and men to be paroled, wiiiJi
they did. I hey then left
the hvvuie; finding them
selves fufficicntly strong,
took the boat belonging to
our men, and went off to
the Rimdies. Our men
took a whale boat from the
ilhnd (it being impossible
to return at that time, the
enemy were lo situated) and
started for Sag Harbor ; but
soon difeovered thay were
puriued by n birges from
she enemy. The militia,
however, prevented their
landing there, and protected
the barges.
They all darted in the
right together, passed the
enemy and arrived fafe.

Commodore Decatur has

but think probably to obtain
