killed on the Spot, and 25 of them taken,
with as many Horses, without any Loss to
Colonel Hetfield's Party, who retook all
the Prisoners.

" By one of Col. David Rogers's Boats just
returned to this Place, I have the mortifying
Account, that on the 4th Inst. near the Mouth
of the Miame, a Party of Indians was difeo
vered ahead, crossing the Ohio. A Proposal
was made to land and attack them, which
was generally agreed to, and Col. Rogers with
50 Men, landed, and began the Attack. The
firft Parties of the Enemy they met with re
treated before them; but the Indians being
strongly reinforced, our People were obliged
to give Way, The Indians pressed hard on
our Men in their retreat and boarded two of
our Batteaus ; the third having about a dozen
