{ Fron4 rte 'Piftsbury Gazette .Sehf. 14)
On Sunday last arrived here from Fort
-.Ieorge, British garrison opposite Fort
Niagara. which he left about Is DAYS ayn.
Mr.. Lewis Dent, who was quarter MASTER
to colonel Cass's regiment of Ohio voiun-
teers.
1t will be recollected that Mr.. Dent was
ordered BIZ gen. Hull, to take charge of the
oagSage osthe army, and proceed by wa
ter to Detroit from the Rapids of the Maui
mee-ihat the vessel was taken passing
Fort Maiden and all on board made pri-a
soners of war; s-.
Mr.. Den. formerly resided in this town
andis well known for his integrity and
strict adherence to truth and FROM aim we
have received the following PARTICULARS
That upon examination OF the vessel at
ter she was taken to Fort Maiden, in a
trunk belonging TO gen. Hull. the Geeiarati
on OF war against Great Britain wa< found
MT. Dent was an eve witness 70 this fact, &
at the time he left the army nothing IF the
Kind was known. This is almost conclusive
evidence Of Hulps treachery. That pre-.
vlous to the attack on Detr i, lie viii, the
rest OF the prisoners, were sent To Fort
George, where he remained until The arri-
val OF General Brock. after the copture of
the army-that it was understood there
that An attack upon Fort Niagara was in
tended, for which purpose, General SheaT.
had arrived at York (the seat or govern
ment OF Upper Canada, SO miles fi'nns
Fort George) with 5000 regulars FROM
Montreal, but being infm med of the acnic-
tioe,' Gen. Brock had ordcretl him to re-
man there until further orders.-That the.
Nn Regiment with General Hull. had arri
we'd at Fort Erie, and was expected in
a few days at Fort George, from whence IL
was uncertain where they would be SENT
THAT the conduct OF Hull was spoken of by
the British officers with the utmost con-
tempt, and that Gen. Brock was understood
to have said, that had colonies NJ Arthur Sc
Cass been in. the Frrt at Detroit, that his
plan of operations against it would not have
succeeded.
Mr.. Dent understood from Gen. Van
rensselaer,, WHO CON manded on the lines
near Niagara, that he was almost totally
without ammunition, and that his muskets
were good for nothing--hnd that Captain
Leonard who commands Fort Niagara sta
ted, that his means of resistance was but a
mere shadow, and that he would be COM
PEELED to abandon the Foyt if it should be
attacked.
