It has not yet appeared, that any other per
son except Jofoua Hett Smith, was concerned
in Arnold's treafoh—Major Andre when ta
ken, was possessed of an accurate description of
dll the works in the Highlands, the points most
assailable, the strength of the garrison, the de
tachments made from it (whieh were designedly
many) a complete return of the ordnance (lores,
provi/ions, &c. a return of the Strength and
difpeJition of our army, as fated for the opini
on of a Council of War, held about the begin
ning °flaft month, all in Arnold's hand Writing.
When Andre was taken, he was font to the
commanding off.er at the lines, and by him to
Upper Salem, in Westchester county—an ac
count of this event, with the papers found up
on Andre, was dispatched to the Commander in
Chief, supposed to be at Hartford, but he had
left that place before the express arrived there
——The morning his Excellency reached the
Highlands, and while he was voting the polls
on the road to Arnold's quarters <it Robinson's
boufe, Arnold received an account of the cap
ture of Andre, and with the utmeft precipitati
on and^ident marks of confhfo, mounted his
horse, rode down to the river, took his barge
and went on board the Vulture ; and to de
ceive his barge med, hoisted a flag, and pre
tended he bad public business to negotiate with
a Britifo officer there: The difpdtches reffeEt
ing this business not having been received by
his Excellency the General, be proceeded to vi-
Jit Weft-Point, Which be found in a disagree
able Situation, then recrossed the river to R%
binfon's boufe, where he received the frft evi
dence of the treason.
Andre was raken by three young men, of the
militia of Weftcbefter county, Messrs. Pawling,
Deane arid Van Weert ; he offered them for
bis liberty^ bis gold watch, one thousand gui
neas, and as large a quantity of goods ds they
would cboofe to bring from flew. York, which
with republican virtue, they refused, informing
Andre that they were Americans, and Were
not to be purchased.
