the last accounts from the westward he was
proceeding rapidly towards Fort Wayne,
which was said TO be beseigeJ by the Indians:
anil vast numbers oil Volunteers were march

time he will havs 10000 men under his COM

tarnished honor of The American arms.
Gen. Bloomfield has considerable force at
,Plattsburs, on our northern frontier, and the
continual marching OF troops 10 reinforce
him, seem to indicate an intention of making
descent upon Canada from that quarter.

+ .4ibany, Sebt. 22.---OB Friday last, the
18Th, ,(Col. Schuyler's) regimes, Of tho Ar
my OF the United States, passed through this
city from Greenbush, for Niagara. The reg
iment was nearly foil, and was we'll clothed,
equipped and armed.l The officers and SOL
dirrs, with scarcely an exception, made We
fy martial appearance, which was much
heightened by a fine rcgiinenlal band, and an
elegant stand Of colois. 1t must be parlicu-
larly gratifying 10 every true patriot, 10 see
such troops marching TO the frontiers. We
venture 10 predict, that if an opportunity is
Afforded them, they will do honor 10 their
country and the standard Under which hey
march.
