TO THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY.

Head-quarters, Picita, Sept. 25,1812.
FELLOW-CITIZENS - The Executive of your
State, acting., as was believed, in unison with
your wishes, conferred on me the command of that
part of the quota of militia which was destined to
relieve Detroit; and the General Government has
confirmed and extended my command to all
troops rich are called into service from the Wes-
tern states. Upon the point:ef leading these brave
rae....n into a rigorous- northern climate, I discover
that, many of them are without blankets, and
much the greater part of then totally destitute of
every article of winter clothing. It is iinpracti-
cable to procure the articles necessary for them
imin the stores, and thereis no alternatiVe but in
your feeling and patriotism : a.contributiOn of ar-
ticles, which will not be felt by you, will
enable your soldiers tt• withstand the•keen north-
ern blasts with as much fortitude as they will the
'assaults of the enemy.,
Can any,patriot sleep easy in his bed of down,
when he reflects upon the situation of a centinel
exposed to the cold of -a winter's night,in Canada,
in a linen hunting shirt ? Will, the amiable fair
sex suffer their 'brave defenders to be'mutilated by.
the frost for the want of mittens -or so'clis,
they can, Irish so little exertion, procure them ?
I trust that I knoW my fair countrywomen too
well to believe that this• appeal to their"patriotism
Fill be ineffectual !. BlanketS, overalls, round-
about jackets, shoes, socks, and mittens; are the'
articles wanted. Colonel Thomas Buford, De-
puty Conimissary-General, will provide for the
transportation of the articles, and will pay for the
blankets and shoes, should it be required. Lind-
sey roundabouts, double or lined, will answer the
purpose.

'Extract, to the Editors of The Baltimore Whig,
dated New Orleans, Sept. 14.--" We have, re-
ceived intelligence that S. Antonia, in New Mexi-
co, has been taken by ColonelManchiaco. Salado,
Governor-General of the interior provinces, has
been taken in that town: Colonel l'il‘Cee: took
Nacadoches on the 12th of Nugust; and I suppose
is now with Manchiaeo at St. Antonia, or perhaps
farther on.
A, great many people are leaving this state
and the Mississippi territory to join the patriots,
whose righteous cause will most certainly prevail.
When the United StateS brig Syren; left La Vera
Cruz, that city was still blockaded by-the Mexican
republicans, a proof that all communication was
cut Off between the .city of Mexico and the sea."
