A letter to a refpeftable merch
ant in this town, received by the
hitmails from Philadelphia, dates
that information bad been receiv
ed there, from Gen. Wayne, dat
ing that a detachment confiding
of about 900 of the mounted vo
lunteers of Kentucky, had fallen
in with about an equal number
of Indians and that a bloody bat
tle mflantly infued, in which the
Kentuckians were victorious,keep
• ing the field of battle, and killing
three hundred of the lavages.
The loss of the Kentuckians is
said td be between one hundred
and five killed, and between two
and three hundred wounded.—
• That Gen; Wayne had sent an
Officer to the fort ereCted by the
Bridfh, demanding them to quit
the da ( ion, which was refufed ;
and that Gtn. Wayne had gone
to Fort' Recovery, not having
j cannon to besiege the fort—which
. was laid to be garrisoned by three
; hundred troops with a number of
j pieces of heavy artillery. ' The
4 fame letter mentions, that it was
expelled from circumflances, that
the Piefidenc of the United States,
, ’ would, in person, command the
. army going againd the Pittsburg
1 fretets. —It he does nor, the com
mand rit is said will be given to
Gov. Lee of Virginia.
There is no doubt, however, that
among foffie of the most ignorant
and abandoned, of that description
of persons, there are to be found
the latept feeds of the old malig
nant spirit.. .
“We have no news from
Gen. Wayne—nd dispatches have
been received for a long time.—
The newspaper accounts -of his
vi&ory therefore Hand good. Had
he met with any miffiap, we Ihould
have heard of it soon enough.”
The Grand Jury of several counties in
Georgia, have presented, “as the greatest
grievance that the State of Georgia ever
experienced,that a banditti has fettled lands
allotted by treaty to the Indians, as part
of their temporary, hunting grounds, in
open violation of law and government.”
This banditti are beaded by Gen. Clarkb,
