ST. LOUIS, MAY 27.
Colonel Russel has, politely favhured *lts with the I
perusal of looters front Captain Musick and lieute-
nant Gray, of the Ringers, which gives information,
that on Wednesday hst (the Sfrth ) a party of our
men was attacked near Fort Howard, by about fifty
Indians; that the troops from the fort, under Capt.
Craig, immediately repaired to the scene of action,
and engaged the Indians ; that shortly Capt. Musick
joined in the affair, and a warm battle ensued. The
numbers were about equal ; but before the affair
closed, a Itarty of the Indians entrenched themselves in
a sinkhole, and perfectly secured themselves from the'
powerful exertions of our troops. At dark the Ran•
gers retired, and nest morning found five Indians
dead on the pound, and the appearance of many
more having been killed. The action lasted a' con-
/siderable time. We lost Captain Craig, Lieutenant
Spars, and five men killed, four wounded, and one
missing.

MOBILE, JUNE 5.
A good deal of irritation yet exists in the Creek
nation. The peace and WAr parties are still at va-
riance, and some American settlers have been killed.
General Gaines is in the Creek Country, and has ...Int
a force, accompanied by some friendly Indians, to
arrest the murderers.

A gentleman front Detroit, who lett that place on
the 14th June, informs, that considerable jealousy
exists between the British and Americans in that
neighbourhood. The British troops are stationed at
Sandwich, and have with 'them about 500 Indians.
All communications hom either side is strictly for-
bidden.
There are about 1200 British Indians at Hersh's
Islands, in the river Saint Clair; bey had plundered
an American's citizen of about 500 dollars worth of
property. Coloal Butler, at Detroit, bad forwarded
a remonstrance to Colonel James, the British Com-
mander, complaining of the aggression. It was dis-
avowed on the part of the lkitish Commander, who
had forwarded an agent to the Indians to ethieavour
to get the property restored. The result was not
known when our informant left Detroit: Several
strange Indians have been prowling about Detroit
who would give no account of themselves, in conse-
quence of which, the American Commander had or-
dered that all Indians of this description should be
immediately arrested, and in case of resistance or an
attempt to escape, to be shot.
Mackinaw had not been delivered up by the Bri-
tish, agreeably to treaty, nor had we surrendered
Malden. An American vessel had been employed
by the British to remove the public property at Mac-
kinaw, previous to the surrender of the place. /Vet
the property had been put on board the vessel, the
Indians at Mackinaw, who were very numerous,
compelled the Captain to re-land it, declaring that
they would never suffer the place to be delivered up
to the Americans.

they use as bait to catch coJ.6sh on the banks et this
province."
