General Huta., with his army, crossed the river above Detroit on the night of, the 11th, without the loss of a man. Such was the regularity of tie movement, that in less than five minutes after the first boat struck the Canada shore the line was formed. The Ohio Volunteers behave like veterans. During the night before the arrival of the army, the British abandoned the shore, and retreated to Malden, leaving our troops to take possession of their works, which gives us the command of the river. The American standard was . erected in Canada . on the morning of the 13th, and General num .'s Proclamation was issued and circulated through all the villages in that vi- cinity. Letters of the 14th say, the Canadian militia arc deserting from Malden in large parties; sixty in one body, on receiving the proclamation, re p'orted themselves to the General, and retired to their farms.

It had the desired ef,:ect, The people generally have gladly hailed us as an army of friends rather than enemies. ---The General is preparing a train of artillery, the more effectually to reduce the British garrison at Malden. We have taken the town of Sandwich without the loss of a single man. The enemy at Sandwich had a large body of Indians with them, and the moment our army came in sight of them, they left their allies, and took to the woods, with out firing a single shot—the British were then obliged to retreat, and left us quiet possession of the field. The fort at Malden is a square with strong bastions at cash of the angles. On these bastions they have some eightecu-pounders mount ed : it is commanded by Col, St. GEORGE, of the British army, and from the best informatiUn our spies give us, is garrisoned with about 350 regular troops, 600 militia, and 800 Indians. Our park of artillery is nearly ready, and the, General will attack the fort on the night of the 20th inst. The army are all in high spirits, and we feel confident of success.

Separated by an immense ocean and an'e:iten sive wilderness from Great Britain, you have .no participation ,in her councils, no interest_in her conduct.

The United States are sufficientl owerful to afford every security, consistent with their, rights and, your expectations. I. tender you the . hwalUalide blessing of civil, politica'', and religiou%lilierty, and their necessary result, individual and. general prosperity—that liberty which gave decision to our councils, and energy to , our conduct,. in a struggle for independence, which conducted us safely and triumphantly, through the:stormy period of the revolution—the liberty which has raised us to an elevated rank amongst' the .nations of the world, and which, afforded.us a greater measure of peace and security, of wealth and improve ment, than ever tell to the lot of any people. In the name of my country, and the authority of Go vernment, I promise you protection to your per sons, property and rights : remain at your homes; pursue your peaceful and customary avocations ; raise not your hands against your brethren: 'Many of your fathers fought for the freedom and inde pendence we now enjoy.
