I received information of a very tantsiderahls f:rce under the command cf Msj..r Cluttoltres, en the tivcr Le French, with four a:lei-pieces, and col- letting the militia on his route, evidently destined. for A tilitetstltu:g ; and in addition to this com'eitsition, andincrtase of force, contrary to all may expectations, the Wyandots, Chinpewas, Ottowas, Polio watAtmes. filunsees, Delawascs, Sec. with whom I lisd the most friendly iims . course, at on passed over to Aullicrsthisg, tied ac cepted the tctuallawk and scalping-knife.
