.NORTHER.N ARMY.

We have letters from Plattshurg
Of the date Of the 10th inst. which
gave SOM" particulars Of the intend
ed operations Of the Nurthcrn Ar
my. From one ofwhich we extract
the following.
PiailsJury!,, Monday Erening,
.T0Cember IS.
This moment The army is pa
radinS to march TO Canada. II has
been under marching orders several
days, but it was not certain 10 march

born arrived here. twill be about
GoOo strong. and will go by forced
marches. Whether is is going on a
more enterprise TO make a stand, if
i, can, public opinion has not yet as
aertaiueH but that it does not in

sighting is clearly ascertained in the
public mind. l believe gen. Ci,and-

When Sancilo heard these last
words OF his master, he began TO
blubber with incredible tenderness.
81 eonnot conceive, said he, why
your worship should attempt such a
terrible adventure, it is now dark,
and nobody sees us therefore we
may turn out Of this road and avoid
the danger. though We should net
taste liquor these three days; and if
no body sees Us. we run no risk Of de-
ing accused Of cowardice !; besides.
L have heard the curate of our town,
whomyour worship knows very well,
remark in his preaching, che that
seeketh danger perisheth therein
therefore it must be a sin to tempt
God by engaging in this rash explicit,
from whence there is no escaping
without miricle."]

From orr Correspondent.
ALBANY. Nov. 81.

Dav before yesterday a person
was here in town from PIattsbnrsh,
who said that when he left Platts-
burgh the militia had marched to-
wards Canada Iiue, and the regulars
were, as he understood Immediately
to follow; and letter received ~
a gentleman in this city from his re-
Iations in Plattsburgh state the same
thing. 1t is the impression Of many
here that descent upon Canada is
to be made yetthis fal! by the North
ern army-others think all such
movements mere feints; but, as
mere think Gen. Smyth's clustering
is meant as a feint-wbere is to be
the real attack which these are to
cover? A feint at Pittsburgh can
not subserve Harrisons purposes
Perhaps we may now expect news
daily.
Quarter-master-ge n'l. Lewis left
this city four or five days ago for the
headquarters Of the northern ar

Defencs-The troops stationed
here have been employed since last
Thursday 10 in building fort,

the number Of men employed. Ills
believed, however, that it will not
be finished before the winter sets in.

We march to day for the river Rasin,
which is 80 miles distance from this place, &
within IS miles Of Detroit We bave rcceiv.
ed orders by express from Gen Hull, to halt
at the river Raisn and wait further orderst
we have been joined here by company of

give them warm reception-the night bes

Brownstown on "Wednesday last aea driven
back to Detroit, we expected Lyons wa. in
the engagement; there is no other eommue
nlcatlon between the river Raison at this time
but by express. On Wednesday last about
the time the mail was attacked tremendous
firing OF cannon was heard at Maiden, which
continued during the afternoon of Wednesday
and during the night: the conjecture in camp
is, that Gen. Hull sent an escort with the
mail to draw portion ofthe Indians and Bris
tish from Maiden, and that moment 20 coma
mence an attack on the Fort; this is mere
conjecture; but the coincidence of circunls
stances would seem 70 Justify it. Our troops
took TWO British vessels few days since at

former place, this was fortunate thing for
