was in conformity, as far as it went, with
his assurances in cUnvefcation) "that it
was his int ntion Immediately TO recommend
The appointment of an envoy extraordinary
and minister pleDipotentiary from the king

authorised to take the step which the
instructions contained in your letter of the

Latest Intelligence from the .4rmy ON the Va
bash.
We have had conversation with Mr..
Armstrong, a gentleman from this neighbor-
hood, OF undoubted veracity, who left the
encampment of the army on the Wabash, on
the 18th inst. Mr.. Armstrong states that
the army had commenced building the fort
and had erected several pickets, and had rails
. ed two block houses about 10 feet above the
foundation that they had timber sufficient to
complete them, which would be done in few
days. The army consisted of about 1900
men. Colonel Boyd commanded about 400
regulars. Col. Decker, about 600 riflemen.
Col. Joseph H. Daviess commands about 200
cavalry we'll equipped--the balance of the
army was composed of companies who acted
as scouting parties. On the night of the 10th
inst. one of the centine's a regular was fired
on by an Indian and shot through both thighs,
but the wound was presumed not mortal. 1t
was believed there were but few Indians, near
the encampment, and they were in small
scouting parties. The troops were well sup
piled with every thing necessary for cam
paign, and were in very good health. Two
of the regulars had died, owing to their be-
ing so much exposed on water, in descending
the Ohio, and being on the Wabash.
Governor Harrison will march against the
prophets towns, which are about 60 miles
beyond the Fort, so soon as he receives a
reinforcement from Indiana and this state.
The governor thinks about 500 men in addi-
ton to his present number will be an adequate
force to contend with the prophet Mr..
Armstrong could give US no information of
the probable amount of the prophets forces
There were five deputies or chiefs from the
nations that are friendly to the whites, in
council with the governor whilst Mr.. Arm
strong was there they expressed the most un-
equlvoca! attachmentto the whites, and OBJ
served that the prophet had made considera-
bic efforts to make them hostile, but they had
uniformly rejected his overtures and would
continue 10 do so as long as the whites, treat
ed them with the same friendship, they hither-
to had done.
1t is likewise stated that governor Harrison
had requested permission to raise few troops
In our state, which request we presume has
been granted, as Mr. Armstrong saw them
raising troops in Jefferson as he came on,
to march tor the encampment On the Wabash
immediately. 1t is further stated by Mr..
Armstrong, that he never saw troops under
better discipline, particularly the cavalry I'M
der col. Daviess's command: He and all his
troops sleep with their boots and spurs on du-
ring the night and their horses are always
saddled, ready at moments warning for &C
tive seryice.-Troops who cheerfulIy sub
init to such discipline will no doubt when, &C.
