EAST-INDIA INTELLIGENCE. . . The following intelligence we have collected from private letters received from Bengal, by the ships 'lately arrived : " Disturbances were reported in Cutch ; our troops bad moved towards that quarter from Bombay ; the' cause of the dispute not mentioned. A scarcity of grain was felt in Tinnevelly, and in almost every part of the Madras territory ; permission had been granted to transport grain, tree of duty, until this month (October) ; great quantities of rice had been shipped from Malabar. The Jaulnah force, that had moved to the Northward, to protect Berar from the invasion of the Pendarries, continued in the field. - From Delhi we learn that the Prince Mirza Jehangeer intended to set out for the lower provinces, where it was his wish to reside. The army in Bundlecund has broke up, and the corps were returning to their respective cantonments. Colonel Roderick Frazer commanded in the fort of Kalengheer, where a garrison would remain, consisting of the Ist battalion of the 11th Native Infantry, five companies of the '2d battalion of the 2d, and a party of artillery, with two 6-poun ders, under Lieutenant Fulton ; the Ist battalion of the 7th Native Infantry was to march for Mattra, by the route of Calpec. 46 An earthquake had been felt, and extended over a very large portion of 1-.industan, but there was no reason to ruppose, it was any where proch...:Live of se rious consequences. • . . 64 The Pindarree Chieftain Kurriem Khan, and his family, had certainly found a refuge From their pur suers in Holkar's camp. Rimjett Sing had. returned to Lahore alter his visit to Futtegurriis to celebrate the nuptials of Gernd.Sing with the daughter of Jur meel Sing. ' Colonel Ochterloney had also been at the nuptials, and had returned, to Loodehatmeh, where Runjeet Sing had paid him a visit. Soojah ul.Mulk, it appeared, was again in some force; he is said to have crossed the Attock, and encamped at Khaurabad, expecting aid from the Soorah of Cash sneer. Mahmood Shah, the reigning Sultan, was harassid by invasions from the mountains, and con-, tinned stationed with his Vizier, at Cabul. Zemaun Shah had set out frnmLahnre to Mohan ; AmeerKhan had again marched to the northward ; he was atten ded to Kotah by Balaram Seit, and Guffoor Khan, from whence he intended to proceed to Sheergurrah. 4 , Kurreem Khan, the celebrated Pindarree chief tain, has been delivered into the hands of the Bhae, 'by whnm he was put in confinement ; the Court Of Poonah had demanded his person, as an indispensi- i Lie condition of any favour which Mulha Row might expect from the Peshwa ; this was displeasing to Ameer Khan, who, with Durgcon Saul, had in. tercedcd for the I'indarree's liberty. A great body of freebooters from the Decan had appeared in the neighbourhood of Merzapore and Benares; they had plundered the villa es about the former city; they entered the Co'.ipany's Provinces through the great pass from the Mean, which opens to Meriarore,l and have since bent their course towards Shahabad, I committing sad devastations in their route t. all was alarm at Ghya, Patna, and in Southern Behar.— This horde iS supposed to have come from the coun try i n the Vertridda, towards the South-west, and lately attacked Nagpore, but being hard pressed from the side of Hindustan, made this , desperate in cursion in quest of sustenance. A considerable force of cavalry had mo ved in their I car from Bertaub gbur, Dundlec und, and CAM npoir, alai precautions were taken it. every district to protect the European and native inhabitants, and cover the frontier. The country of .1. poor was tolerably tranquil, the Rajah havine, folfrind Hs tngagements to A mcer Khan. 64 Lieutenant Lociset had returned to Bussora, after a survey i f Hilla and the ruins of Babylon.

A Gentleman arrived a day or two ago from the West-Indies, brings the following intelligence : " TRINIDAD, SEPT. 100812. gg The late rebellion and consequent civil war in the kingdom of Venezuela is at an end, in all its branches. The whole of the ten itory, with the ex ception of the small village of C uiria (situated on the western coast of the gulp') of Paria), chiefly inha bited by Frenchmen, have returned to the allegiance of Ferdinand the Vllth, without any foreign force to compel them, but by the general wish of the inhabi. tants. Don Diego Monteverde, a Captain in the Navy, who, about the middle of March, set out from Coro, with an original force of only 2.50 regulars, at the request of the oppressed inhabitants, having beat Miranda and his partisans in several rencontres, and taken Puerto C'villo, July 6, and all the inland dis tricts, the inhabitants of which eagerly embraced the opportunity of shaking off the yoke of Miranda, and return to the allegiance of their Sovereign, entered Caraccas, July 27, under loud acclamations of the inhabitants. 11 19 S - 1 1-24 PRIVATEER NEWS.—This morning came down the Sound the Pilot boat schooner Venus, Capt. Wooster, with 'a cargo of ram, sugar, and molasses, a prize to the privateer Teazer. The British ship Quebec, of the Jamaica fleet, has been captured by the Saratoga. She is at Hurl Gate, on her way down the Sound, and her cargo we un derstand is estimated at 300,000 dollars. The sloop Philadelphia, from Richmond, laden with corn, recaptured by the Saratoga, is in the Sound. A large schooner, belonging to Halifax, with a full cargo of rum from the West Indies, arrived on Sa turday last at Hampton Roads, a prize to the priva teer Black Joke, of New York. The brig Ocean, whose arrival as a prize to the Saratoga was mentioned in the Commercial Adver tiser of last Tuesday, has on board 106 hogsheads of sugar, 166 puncheons of rum, and 60,000 weight of coffee. " Miranda and several ringleaders (amongst whom were many Frenchmen). were taken in attempting to escape—on the news of the success of Monte verde, and the desertion of Miranda's troops, the provinces of Paraguay and Barcelona, with their capitals, hoisted the standard of Ferdinand VII, and arrested their re volutionary chiefs. " Barcelona hoisted Ferdinand's flag, July 16 ; Carrupa and Rio Barbos, August 10; Cumana and Marguerita, August 26 ; all the Coast within the Gulph of Paria, as far as Point Prida, hoisted the flag, August so." " SEPT. 11.—The news of Guira having hoisted Ferdinand's flag has just arrived." " SEPT. 12.—This moment arrived here in an open boat, Gayneros, one of Miranda's Aide-de.Camps, escaped from Cumana—he confirms the whole of the foregoing intelligence, and further states, that Mi randa, and about forty other principal revolutionary Chiefs had been tried, and sentenced to death. The Marquis del Toro, a principal leader, had escaped from La Guira, in a schooner bound to America." llmommay The cartel schooner Hero, Craft, six days from Bermuda, with American captains and mates, pri soners of war sent home on parole—Sept. 13, lat. 33. 45. long. 67. 20. was boarded by an Officer from his Majesty's frigate Orpheus, wlp informed, that two days before they had captured the brig Ann, of Salem, from Calcutta ; and the day before had chased an American privateer, who escaped by su perior sailing. Sept. 15, lat. 36. 38. loug. 70. 1.5. spoke the schooner Citizen, of Washington City, said to be for Havannah, from Alexandria; she appeared to be steering for Bermuda, and the Officer on deck had the appearance of a navy officer. The day be fore sailing from Bermuda, arrived the brig Lydia, Ranney, for St. Barts, prize to the Orpheus ; and the ship William, of Baltimore, for Lisbon, with upwards of 3000 barrels of flour, prize to the Re cruit sloop of war. AMERICA. FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, SEPT. 21. " BRITISH NEGOCIATION.-A letter from Halifax, of the 9th instant, says: " Sir John B. Warren is momentarily expected here, with five sail of the line and a number of fri gates ; it is understood that he is invested with powers to negociate and conclude a peace with our Govern, ment ; or, if yon will not come upon terms with him, to unkennel the dogs of war against you." Quere—ls Sir B. Warren coming out in the cha racter- of Mr. Copenhagen Jackson, to negociate a peace—will he demand the surrender cf our tight little navy, together with the abandonment of our impressed seamen, and the right of navigating the ocean, as the terms upon which peace is to be pro itsred ? If so, the result may be easily foreseen ;-- but if he comes in a real spirit of amity, the impedi ments can be easily removed. ANSWER OF TUE PRESIDENT TO TILE STATE OF . NEW JERSEY. Siit —I have received the Address from the Co nvention of the Republican Delegates from the several counties, &c. 4 , When the United States assumed and established their rank among the nations of the earth, they as sumed and established a common sovereignty on the high seas, as well as the exclusive sovereignty within their territorial limits. The one is as essential as the other to their character as an independent nation.— However conceding they may have been on contro vertible points, or forbearing under casual or limited injuries, they never can. submit to wrongs irreparable in their kind, enormous in their amount, and indefi nite in their duration ; and which are avowed and justified on principles degrading the United States from the ra nk of a Sovereign and Independent Power. In attaining this high rank, and the inesti mable blessings attached to it, no part of the Ame rican people had a more meritorious share than the people of New Jersey. From none, therefore, may more reasonably be expected a patriotic zeal in maintaining by the sword the unquestionable and in alienable rights acquired by it, and which it is found can no otherwise be maintained. " Benjamin Ludlow, Esq. (S.gned) "J. MADISON." FALL OF FORT DEARBORN, AT CHICAUGA. Buffaloe t Sep t . 15, 1811 s; Char Yesterday afternoon the Queen _Aarlotte arrived at Fort Erie, in seven days from Detroit. A flag of truce soon landed at Buffalo Creek, Major At water and Lieutenant John L. Eastman, who gave the following account of the fall of Fort Dearborn. On the Ist of September, a Pottawattamie Chief arrived at Detroit, and stated, that about the mid dle August, Captain Wells, from Fort Wayne (an interpreter), arrived at Fort Dearborn, to ad vise the commandant of the FOrt to evacuate it and retreat. In the mean time a large body of Indians of different nations hail collected and menaced the garrison. A council was held with the Indians, in which the Indians agreed that the garrison should be spared, on condition that all property in the fort should be delivered up. The Americans marched out, but were fired urn and nearly all killed.— There were about 50 men in the fort, besides women and children, and probably not more than 10 or 12 taken prisoners. Captain Wells, and Captain Heald (the Commandant), wete killed. • The affairs at Detroit remained.without any ma; teml change. BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 14. PRIZE ACCOUNT CURRILNT.—In our last we men tioLed, that according to the best information on the suboct o 030 Imper of American captures since the BOSTON, SEPT. 21. An English gun-brig was off Cape Ann on Sa, turday morning, about three leagues distance S. E. of Eastern Point. The brig Franklin, Duval, from Liverpool for Savannah, with a cargo of bale goods, &c. arrived lat Cape Ann on Friday, sent in by the privateer Sword Fish ; she was taken on the 4th inst.; the 3d the Sword Fish took and manned the ship Hunter, 'Strafford, from Liverpool for Philadelphia, with a cargo of thy goods, and ordered her for Gloucester. A letter from Kennebunk, dated September 17, says—" Yesterday arrived off this port the brig Ad vance, Coit, 42 days from Liverpool, bound to New Orleans. On the 16th August, lat. 43. in a squall, carried away the head of her foremast, and on the 29th, in a heavy gale, was thrown on her beam- i ends, had several other sails blown from the yards, and other damage, put in to refit. She was imme diately taken possession of by the Officers of the Customs. The Active, from London, with a full cargo of goods, has arrived at City Point; she had been taken possession of by a revenue cutter previous to her ar rival. NEWPORT, SEPTEMBER 19. On Sunday evening, the 13th inst. this town was alarmed by accounts received through several chan nels that a squadron of enemy's frigates were off this harbour, and had solicited a pilot to conduct them in.—The weather being thick, they could not be dis cerned from the land, but had been distinctly seen by the gun-boats and some coasters. The necessary measures were immediately concerted between Major General Sheldon and Colonel Kingsbury, the re spective commandants of the State and United States on this station. Orders were issued by the Major-General for the calling out the whole of the militia, which orders were obeyed and executed with promptness and dis- I patch.

MONTPELIER, SEPTEMBER 17. From all parts of the country we receive accounts lof the movements of the troops and militia. Plat ts . burgh, New-York, about 60 miles from Montreal, i t their place of destination ; where Generals Dearbo e4 . and Bloomfield have already arrived, with abo ut 2000 men each. The 6th regiment, under Col one l Simons i • the 15th, Colonel Pik e ; an d 13th, Colonel Schuyler, all New England troops, are on the march to join the army at Plattsburgh, under General Dearborn ; the Gth and 15th regiments, from Nes. York, were to march the 3d instant. The Vermog troops are now at Plattsburgh. ' It is stated, that General Bloomfield, of N ew . York, is to command the van of the army on the expedition. About 80 of the United States trobps from New► hampshire, and between 4 and 500 of the drafted militia of this State, passed through town th e present week, on their way to Plattsburgh. From the best accounts we c:tn collect, ther e me stationed between Montreal and St. John's, from Is to 15,000 troops, regulars and militia. The fields, say our informants, are literally covered with tent s and camp equipage. The militia are well trained, and completely equipped and uniformed. Should General Dearborn enter the territory, he ought (if he means not to be Hull'd, or defeated) to have is or 30,000 ;nen, as not a doubt exists of the Govern / of Canada being able to bring this force into the . field against them. The Plattsburgh letter anticipates the speedy ar. rival these of Major Eustis, with a battalion of light artillery ; Captains Brooks, Grafton, and all our New-England boys ; and are confiJent from the ex. ertions of General Bloomfield, they will be enabled to meet their enemy with some assurance of success, PLATTSBURG. SEPT. 19; Our officers say confidently we shall march into I Canada before the middle of Qstobet. Since the publication of the lite news from Pia* burg, several people have engiiired about the situ. tiwa of Plattsburg, and whether an invading army could, take possession of it. A gentleman l ate l y from Montreal has given us the followil inform. tion on the subject :—There is a good navigation 04 Lake Champlain, from St. Jphn s -to the lines, a dis. sance of 24 miles, before the war hatteaux came re. gularly every Saturday from St. John's to the hues with passengers for the steam-boat, and usually ved in eight hours. From the lines there is a toter. aura. road to Plattsburg, distance about twelve miles. The gentleman thinks, that with a brisk N.W. %hid sloops and batteaux alight run from St. John', to Platt i)urg in eight hours, unless prevented by an armed force. • The Lansingburg Paper of the 2'2d inst. mentions the arrival in that village of Captain Brooks's coot pany of artillery, with six 4-pounders and one ho. witzer ; and a part of another company on their way to Plattsburg. A regiment of conscripts, under Co. lonel Vosburgh, also passed through that village for Plattsburg about the same time. It is likewise men, stoned, that five companies of artillery, and five of infantry, were required by Governor Tompkins, to march to the frontier. The Troy Paper also mentions the arrival in the vicinity of several corps of riflemen and other Ida. try, on their way to the northern headquarters. General Hull passed through Troy on the Va t on his way, it is said, to Washington. iLEA, ISTOWN , SEPT. 8. .. Gen. Brock is now at port George, apd his forces , are in activity ; what he intends next we know pot. I He ordered the evacuation of Detroit before he left the Upper Country. We are building strong hafts ties. General Van Renualear is highly respected and beloved. We hope and expect reinforcements and supplies ; for our soldiers complain they bast no pay, no shoes, and few necessariei. Truops and artillery are marching for the Lakes accompanied by 80 boat-builders and mariners. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ErAMU-TON, COVRYY 01 ET.
