" a letter which I addressed you previous to
my 'raving MackinAve, you were tam med of the
route which I probably would pursue in returning •
to Virginia. nese antieipntimis seem thus MT
realized. In contiontity to my expectations, early
in July, the detachment of riflemen stationed at
Mackinaw, received orders to repair to Green Day,
and there established a fort with all convenient
expedition, to look down all expected Oppositiom
horn the, Indians residing in this country. We
sailed front Mackitiauf on the 26th of July last,
with the schts Washingon, Wayne, Mink, and
sloop Amelia---having on board Cu!. Miner, of the
3d regiment, Col. Chambers,, of the rifle, Major
Gt atiot, of the eueiovers,'a detachment of arta-
!..ty under Capt. Pierce, and four companies of the
3d infantry, ainountingin the whole to 500 men.
We entered the mouth of tile river tin the 7i ii of
August—aq, contrary to expectations, received
from the French iuhabitants and Indians a very
friendly and flattering reception. Whether these pro-
fessions were sincere, or proceeded from their fears,
time will determine. After looking, for some days
for a proper scite, the engineer has finally•fixed
on the position where the old Fetch fort. (Le
iley) formerly stood. It will he a stockade with
strong pickets, a bastion at each angle, with a
piece at artillery on each, amply sufficient to beat
WI tut)! Indian force, that can be brought egaina4
it. The garrison will consist of two companies
tit .riflemen, and two companies of infantry, all
under the command of Colonel Chambers.-
Stinie 'account of this very delightful country
may peeve not uninteresting. When the French
lost eitablithed themselves here, they found
the contrast bet ween it and Mackinaw very grill'
tog ; for, on leaving the latter place, vegetation
was scarcely apparent : whereas, on arriving st:
the Bay, they found the woods anti fields clothed
in the most luxuriant verdure. At th3t time, the
country was inhabited by two tribes of Indians.
