AMERICAN PAPERS,

Efttr, FLEET SAFE.—An alarming account *ai
received at Pittsburg on the s.th inst. by a Gentle-
man who left Erie on tide 3lst of December, on

which day intelligence had been received from
I.3otEdo of the destruction of that place,, and .the
_ _ _ _

march or the British and Indians eight or ten miles

tin the Lake towards the town of Erie, where
Commodore Perry'sfleet were posted, 91 •iniles

from Buffalo; spreading terror tbro4lgh the coun-
try, &c. A subsequent rumour from LanCaster

mentioned the destruction of Erie and the fivet.-
o,•ruppreivensions, however, are abated, by the
following article from the National Intelligencer
of Thursday, which apj►ears to he the latest au-
thentic news from the scene of danger .---

WASHINGTON, JAN. 13.—By' private letters
which have been received from Erie, dated on the
4th instant, we learn., that the fears. of the im-
mediate approach of the enemy bad in a great.
measure subsided.. .13y the last information re- ,
ceived
,at that place tro'n persons sent out to
reconnoitre, it appears the enemy do not de-
sign to attempt to
_approach that harbour before
the ice on the lakes becomes hard enough to bear
them. It is the opinion of every person there,
that. the fleet 'is perfectly safe I and, in addition
to the obstacles to their proceeding to Presque
Isle, the enemy, if they attempt to destroy the
town, according.to their late incendiary mode of
Warfare, wilt find it defended by a large body of
militia, who have repaired thither in a spirited
Manner for its defence. Many volunteers were on
-the pOint of proceeding from Ohio, but were
turned back, their services being ,deemed unue-
ces3ary, It is our opinion that both the WWII
and. the fleet are safe.

DgrEsca of ER/E.—Gcneral Meade has order-
ed out the first brigade of Pennsylvania militia,
en masse, and 1000 men from the second, to march
immediately for Erie, to perform a tour of thirty
days ; and Governor Snyder, in a letter to the Se-
cretary at War, has suggested the necessity of a
farther requisition (as the first can be held in set-
vice 30 days only), for the purpose of protecting
that part .of our frontier against an apprehended
attack from the enemy. His Excellency observes,
c‘ I deem it but necessary to express my with that
some measures may be adopted by the United
States' Government,.as, added to the efforts there
making, under the state authority, will afford
the all-important service which the exigence Of
the country demands."

Our Plattsburgh Correspondent writes thus,
Jan. 12 : " Night before last General Wilkinson
arrived here from Malone, reviewed the troops
yesterday, and starts this morning- for Albany ;
he will probably be back in a few days."
A detachment of about. 1000 men have arrived
at PlattsbUrgh from the French and ail the
troops at Burlington have been ordered thither.
The object of the enemy-appears to be to divert
the attention of our torces in that quarter while
they are transporting their military stores to
Kingston, We have it from good atit4ority that
100 yoke of oxen have geneover the lines for this
and other purposes.----Burtington Centinet, Jan. 14.,
