and that times and places be designated for the non-
commissioned officers and privates to meet for the
same purpose ; and that competent and confidential
persons be employed to instruct.them in discipline.
The Commandeinin-Chief has repeatedly urged
upon the militia to equip themselves with a musket,
Sec. as is enjoined upon them by the constitution and
laws. He trusts the emergency- which threatens us
cannot fail to awaken to this important duty the im-
mediate attention of every patriotic citiaen who-has
hitherto neglected it.
It is recommended to the Associations of Exempts
organised in the city of New York, to attend to im-
provement in discipline as often as possible.
Any of these corm, or other associations of patrio-
tic citizens, who may wish to parade and be inspected
with the division on Tuesday, will report themselves
to General Stevens, and he is directed to assign them
a station, and have them inspected.
The Commander-in-Chief cannot omit this oppor-
tunity of exhorting the militia, and his fellow citi-
zens of the Southern district generally, to arm them-
selves, and turn their attention immediately and
ardently to military instruction and discipline ; and
he renews the instruction upon the commandants
of the militia of Rocklend, Westchester, King's,
Queen's, Richmond, and Suffolk Counties, to hold
their corps eqiiipped, and in readiness to take the
field at a moment's warning.

and the enemy have burnt' Upper Marlborough, a

court-house, &c. As to business, there is no such
thing : files of men are daily parading the streets anti
picking up those of the militia who have not attend-
ed their respective companies, and if they do not then
regularly attend, they are advertised as deserters, and
a reward offered fee them. We do not apprehend

FROM THE NIAGARA BORDER.
Lieutenant Russel, from Fort Erie, with dispatches
for Government, informs, that there had been no
fighting since the repulse of the British on the lith.
'fire British army.was posted at a respectful distance
from the Fort ; and General Gaines had not thought
it expedient to follow up his success. General Porter
was at Canandaigua, collecting his volunteers, and
General drown was expected to resume the command
at Fort Erie shortly.
The British were said to be short of provisions.
Among the British Officers killed in the late attack,
was Ma. or Vallatto, one of the hostage prisoners.—
D?serters say, the British lost from 15 to 1600 men.
The whole number taken is 480.

tle was daily expected.
