ALBANY, 'HEAD-QUARTERS, Nov. I.—Accounts
from the frontiers state, that all the forces des-
tined for a third invasion of Canada, were c9n-,
centrated at Plattsburgh, and would amount to
0,000 men. They will be commanded by Gene-
rals Dearborn (who had left Albany) Bloomfield,
and .*,'haaadler, of the redalars, and some militia
Geaerals. The regulars arc very excellent troops.
The British Commanders were on the alert and
it was confidently expected that a great battle
would be fought immediately after our troops have
' invaded the province.
- The British army under Sir S. Prevost did not
exceed 8000 men.—We havenot heard of any re.:
inforcements having been recently received in Ca-
- A. new regiment has been formed of the
1-4hoatmen (voyageurs) lately- employed by the
North' Wq.st Company, Some transports, with
the .92d British regiment, and other troops, have
arrived at Halifax, convoyed by the Leviathan, of
74 gees, .bearing Admiral Strachan's flag; but
these cannot cross by land into Canada, and the
St. Lawrence, w.c believe, closes in November.-

WASHINGTON, OCT. 30..---Capt. Smith, to
whom the building
,of vessels and batteaux, on
Lake Erie, is entrusted, has, with a party of vo-
lunteers; captured the British vessel Adams, of
six guns., and Catedoilia, of two guns.--Thesd
vessels imprudently ventured out of the reach of
the batteries .on the Clnadian shore, and were
carried by boarding. One' t their, however,
grounded during the night and : both
crews escaped. But the persons, wiin were left
eliind by their companions give the following
nfOrm'ation
The Adams (which was t.aken from the
United States) left Malden on the 24th October.
Tl.e British expedition, which, after the. defeat of
General Hull, was detached ainst Fort Wayne
on the 14th September, and consisted of 40 re-
gulars and 1500 Indians, returned on the 14fl
October.— They then proceeded towards Fort
Wayne,- until they came within 16 miles of gin
American army, which they learned from their
spies was that under Gen, Harrison. They then
precipitately retreated, leaving much of their am-
munition and baggage on the ground.' .Ti Was
understood at Malden, that. Gen. Harrison was
advancing upon Detroit with his, army. The
Queen Charlotte was detained there. The Indians
bad destroyed much property in the town, and as
they were very numerous, it was nwch feared they
would massacre the remaining Americans as soon
as they were obliged to
.evactiate it by the ap-
proach of the Anierican army. The British Com-
,t*Danders had, in several instances, ransomed
American priSoners taken by the Indians.—Gen.
Winchester was second in command Har-

barbarities and injuries our countrymen have ex-

" The multiplied proof of folly or 'madness, or
of some worse cause, that have driven the nation
into a -ruinous offensive war, are accumulating
with every day's experience. Barciv to enume-
rate the evidence would occupy • colionns. Two
or three facts of recent occurrence which have.
come come to my knowledge, are in point and worthy
of regard. It is then a fact (for I speakit on the
best authority) that either the national treasury
is so miserably empty, or the proper department
so deficient in duty, that the army under General
'Dearborn, which has been so .long idling . away
their time near All Amy, waFi.not only unpaid, but
unprovided with the common necessarids of a
camp ; and when a few days since a part of these
troops were ordered to the frontiers, one whole
regiment (Col. Pike:s) absolutely refused, and
deliberately stacked their arms, declaring, that
they would not move until paid,: In this, refusal
they were justitled by their COlOnel,an old officer,
who admitted • they ought not to march, miles's"
Government first ,paid the arrears due to them:
It. fortunately happened that Mr. Secretary
Gallatin was then at Albany, and, on learning the
state of affairs at the encampment, he borrowed
20,000 dollars from one of the Banics, on his pri-
vate credit; by-which means the troops werdpaid,
and cheerfully followed their Commander."
