most young gentlemen speak too low
and too rapid to be distinctly heard, we

The Colloquy in both parts was neat

the characters OF Burke and Ames had
been faithfully studied by their re-

Col. Cass of the Ohio volunteers,
has iuff arrived in town, direct from
fort Detroit On his way to the city OF
Wilmington lie confirms the &C
count of the deplorable and dligrace-
full furrender of Detroit by Hull
The Britilh crofIcd the river about
two miles below Detroit at the Spring
Wells. Their force conhlted of 1890
including Britiih and Indians. at
the Spring Wells, Capt. Smelling of
the 9TH regiment was ported with a
fmall detachment. Previous TO the
croGlng Of the Britifh, Capt. Smelling
TENT to the fort for Gx-pounder,
which was refuled by Gen. Hull, and
Capt. Smelling was ordered to De
troit-Previous to the approach of
the Brltifh the army was drawn up
in order Of battle, but on the arrival
of the enemy, they were Immediately
ordered into the fort.
We uderltand that Col. Miller,
although reluctantly obliged to ac-
quiefce in the furrender Indignantly
threw away his fword, declaring it
lhould not be delivered up.
The noted Tecumfeh, with $50
indians and party of 200 Brltlih IN \
der Major Chambers, all mounted,
had crohed the river for Maiden, on
their way to Fort Wayne-and il was
fuppoEd they would fcour the whole
frontier to Vincennes and make an
attackon that town. Tecumfeh faid,
he let the Britifh do as they pleased
at Detroit, and he expected the fame
liberty at Fort Wayne.
The whole Of Hull's forces were
24oo. All the public property at
Detroit was given up. Col. Cass
and Col. M'Artbur, who bad been
TENT of with d detachment to open a
communication with River Rein, by
different route, from that Of
Brownfown, and who were returning
to Detroit, were included in the fur
render Capt Brufh from Ohio, who
was at the River Rein, on his
march to Detroit, with a volunteer
company, when Hull surrendered,
was alto included in the furrender -
Col. Brufh it was expected would ef-
cape back to Ohio fhould they at
tempt 70 purfue him, becaufe he
would have 100 miles fart of the en-
envy. The Ohio volunteers were
embarked at Detroit, on the 10th,
and on the fame day the regulars
were embarked and taken down to
Maiden, and on the "Wednesday fol-
lowing the Queen Charlotte, brig
Hunter, veflels of war, and two lmall
merchant veilels full Of troops, prifon-
ers, military flores, &c. failed for
Fort Erie, where they arrived on
Wednesday. And on the fame day
the brave TipPecann Boys, were
marched under ilrong guard, from
Fort Erie down the river to Fort
George, and from thence perhaps to
Montreal or Quebec Gov. HULL
rode down the fame day.
