The Indians haviug gone south to Pease Creek, su,-cejs
a river emptying into Charlotte Harbour. Dur
ine the conference the Indians acknowledged ilia!
they had lost 133 men at the battle of Withla-
coothee. They gave information of Gen. Clinch’s
movements to Gen. Gaines, and told within an
hour what time ha- would arrive.

A detachment of about thirty men are expec'-

company.
All rhe troops near this will march to-morrow,
consisting of one company of Regulars and niton'
400 mounted men under Col. Goodtvyu. This
movement will tuko away every man, leaving us
entirely dcfeiicle«9.
We understaud that Gen. Eusti9 has left orders
to cause a sufficieut number of arms to be deli
vered upon the requisition of Gen. Hernandez,
fur the use of the inilitia.
A detachment of three companies of mounted
Volunteers marched fmm this place to Picolata
on Thursday last, under the command of Limit.
Col. Butler. From thence they marched south
following up two small trails, ns fat ns l)uitn'>
Lake, and finding it impossible to overtake file
Indians, they proceeded to St. Joseph’s. One
of the trails led towards Volusia, and the oth
towards Mosquito.
