about 1000 men, and more daily expected,

Since the disastrous and disgraceful sur
render of Detroit, all seems to he activity at
this place. Yesterday sloop arrived here
from New-York with 112 volunteer seamru
tor Lake Ontario, with eight 81 Founders
and six 32s, with SHOT, &c. which proceed
ed onward Immediately. 500 more seamen
are daily expected from the same place,

condemned for prison snip. About week
since, 40 ship carpenters proceeded thro'
this city for the Lakes, fol the purpose of
building ships, briggs, gun boats, &c. l have
hadthe pleasure of seeing pass here since my
arrival, five detaChments of regular troops
forjthe n. w. army. never beheld better
IN my life. The officers are remarkable
for their soldierlike and gentlemanIy APP
pearance. Hull arrived here Yesterday, g
passed unblushingly through the streets of
Albany.
"There are three steam boats which are
established between New York and this
They go every other day their velocity is
about SIX miles ar hour, even against the

that could be compared to them The pro-
pelling power by steam is So Complicated in
Its machinery that it would be presumption
in ME to attempt to describe it.
YESTERDAY arrived here new steam
boat, of about one half or rather one third
the size of the others, to pass between Troy

day from hence with select Company for
trial. Chancellor Livingston invited his

much like neglect. l cannot conclude with
