Fort Harrison has been besieged by

defence Of this post against a body of
Indians. Il is from Capt. Taylor.-The
Indians were supposed to Be a party

II seems very extraordinary after all
the accounts we have seen detailed with

OF the Patriotic citizens Of the West,
and the noble spirit exhibited on hahcr,
that this same Capt. laylor should find

rison OF one company, and that so re-
duced' that he had not twenty men fiji

breeZcs, never varying above two points, bit
huctuating between botb-the wind dying
away nearly to calm, but never perfectly
calm. This may be said to be the state of the
weather during the whole twelve hours Of to-
tai darkness, except when interrupted by the
momentary squall of sand and ashes. The
darkness was so impenetrable, that, with the
exception of the light that was visible in the
S. and S. e. at FIVE A. M. at no period could
any thing be dscerned even within reach:
From three admeasnrements, taken in the
lowest places, the fall Of ashes was an inch
and a half. When left the house, the ther-
Dfometer was at 70; when returned, at rs
as left the instrument behind, know net
what variation might have taken place in my
absence.-the other observations we're MAIDS
with my own eyes, and the watch in my bands
It will be observed, the first two hours the
sand WAS small in quantity, and coarse in its
| nature but the last ten hours, were ashes;
reduced to an impalpable powder, and sublial~
ated to the highest degree. That 1t is a cal;
cined matter, strongly impregnated with nitro
and fcrrnginous particles, does not admit OF
doubt if examined through good nicross
cope and that it has come from the eastward
may be nationally supposed from IFS involving
In its mass the men Of war birds, which are
generally found about so miles TO the east end
of the island, seldom approaching nearer
From one P. IA. to six, the fall Of the ashes
began to decrease-at SIX p. M. ceased altos
gether. At no period of the day did the light
amount to more than dull twilight; and at
FIVE P. M the day closed altogether, and
darkness succeeded until the morning.

Mr.. EDITOR,

MIR. EDITOR
Itappears astonishing to me how any per-
son can be fond of splrituous liquors, as they
possess no one virtue whatever.
Notwithstanding avn very averse to them
yet find myself obliged to drink large quaint
ties from motives Of real patriotism,
drink Whiskey, Peach Brandy and Gin,
because they are made in the q. States, and
consider every American bound to encourage
the manufactures of his country.
When l see Wine and Foreign Spirits, |
am reminded of the heroes of our revolution,
of one ia particular but instead of drinking TO
his liustrious memory, thinks ! to myself,
it is more dignihed to driak-The founders OF
the Mausoleam Of ESushmgton, worthy of such
a Chief, they deserve well Of their country
After some time I rise gravely from my
seat, and with previous pause and solemn
countenance, give--Thomas Jefferson, Prince
of Philosophers, first in war, hrsl In peace, -
&c. sc.
My next toast is-The great Napoleon
[our expected aily) and "the freedom OF the
seas
1t is not unusual for me, when /" half seas
over 10 drink all tgue PATRIOTS and the friends
of War in every part of the U. States.
occasionally drink-The Army of Canada,
and destruction to " the fast anchored Isle"
The last toast, | generally drink, is-Gun-
Boats and T0rhedOes, may they ever bid def
ance to any Navy whatever.

calculations" that have been formed respect
ing Sweden; expressions which might be re-
ferred either TO overtures from Bonaparte to
send $4,000 Swedes to join him, on condition
of receiving back Finland, and part of the
Russian territory as far as Lake Ladoga
1t announces also the intention ofthe King
TO SO hand in hand with his son (Bernadotte)
in maintaining the independence ofSweden In
defiance of " hostile threats from without :
From this speech, it may be inferred, that
Sweden Will take part against France. Some
however suppose, that she will remain neu-
tral-a supposition which is not very recon
cilabIe with the fact of the indiscriminate cap
ture of all French privateers by the Swedish
eruizers six of the former having been
sentinto Carlsham lately, one carrying l8, and
the other Il guns.
Orders have been issued to equip the
whole Swedish fleet without delay.
We have not yet any declaration on the
part tot Sweden decisiyely favorable to this
country. BY a recent order, however, We find
British ships in distress are directed to have
every assistance afforded them.
The answer to the despatch by the flag of
truce, is expected to be sent off this evening
or to-morrow. Nothing has transpired of
the nature Of the communication from France.
