" The whole body t t .f Lewis and Jef-
ferson counties are :ailed to Sackett's Harbour, to
defend us :roin expected from th,
enemy, and left so little labour in the Count! y
that I expect nnich propt rty sc ill be lost. e
regular It:twits have left this frontiet (except about
rAttc) to the care of Militia. The enemy's forte
mo,,h exce'•ti ours, and they are every moment
adding to their numbers.''
A letter from Sal kett's Harbonr of a late date
says, `` Tin re hive been miles* than eight of the
army here shot for desertion, in. the course of a
few days ; and yet it, does nut deter front the com-
mission of the offence. That with sickness, de-
sertiOn, and shootings, the army here is moulder-
ing bke a_ rope of sand."
CLOSER BLoCKADE.-We'undersrand, that yes-
terday .th! Blockading squadron off Sandy Hook,
ordered all the stn:teks and boats oil the fishing
banks, with an assurance, that all that should be
found there sifter '24 hours should be destroyed:.
'e understand (Sap the Democratic Press)
from authority fully entitled to credit, that, Ad-
ittiral Cochrane has refused permission to the
President of the l!nited States to send a flag ves-
sel, with dispatches, to the Ainetiean Conmis-
sioncrs in Europe. We state the tact without
comment. The conclusion i§ inevitable, and can-
not be mistaken.—(Quebec Gazette.)
rilit-kIDELPIIIit, AUG 8.--Tire English appear
to be making mere excursions of exercise, and
levying contributions in the Chesapeake waters,
without opposition. All the stories of the arrival
of Admit al Cochrane, and large reinforcements of
troops, are sheer hoaxes. They have only some
1500 marbles, etc. A great• many tpiires' of paper
,arewasted in giving official notices of these Move-
ments, which might all be included in these nur-
sery dispatches:
"Pubit Louk Out, ...kg. 5, G, 12 M. Now they go up,
up.
" Point Comfort, Aug. 9. 4, A. a. Now they go down,
down, down," &e."

known ; nor.is it known whether the place was
taken—Prairie dui Chien is.on the Missis'ppi.
