Sir—l have intoimotion from a source in which I place every confidence, that a British armed fchoorter from the Bahamas, arrived at Ptnfacola on the 10th in (laut, with a large supply of arms, ammunition, clo thing and blankets fr>r the Creek Indians—also that ihe ! old Seminola Chief Perri man, and his ft 11 William, i the tatter lately appointed a j Brigadier Genet al in the Sri tijh (entice, are at Penjat&la. They drove into that place, two hundred head of fine cattle and facrififcd them gs , the heretofore unknown ! price ®f from one t» eight dollars per head. Fifty cows and calves fold for i fifty dollars, so anxious they ! were to get supplies to join j ihe boftile Indians. I am well acquainted with thoft chiefs; and know they have great influence with their people. It appears ths arms, &c. were forwarded in conse quence of an address lent to the governor of Jamaica (ome time tince by the Creek Indians—The schooner is the property of a well known free hooter, a c»*t. Jehn flon of the Bahamas, who has rnadt his fortune by preying on the commerce of France, Spain and the U. States—l recoiled his brea king out of the prilen in Mew-Orlcans, in the year 1809. I hope the arrival of thefc supplies will give y«*u a thort respite, and enable j von to prepare for any force : ihe whole confederation can j pofli’dy bring again!! y»uf pofls.— It would aflonifh you to fee the labor we have performed at this.

It is I understood here that the Brttilh have been concen trating at Piefcott, with a view to make all the refin ance pofiible. Eight Can adians delerted to this place | two days ago.

The army under General ; Wilkinlon* reinforced by | the detachments under the command of Colonels Ran dolph and Coles, began their movement from Grenadier illand, down the St. Law rence, on the 31st of Oct. On the evening of that day, General Brown’s brigade, which forms the advance of the army, arrived at the mouth of French creek, op [ polite that of Gaonanoqui river. This point leavesit in doubt whether Kingston or ; Montreal be the object of i the expedition. Our opin ! ion, however, is that the lat ter is the mark, and that on the Bth or 9th inst.
