We have not received any Boston papers
since Monday last. The passengers in the
stage mention that it was relhorsed in the Bos-
ton Patriot, Of yesterday, that Detroit had
been re,akeu by the American Volunteers.
The same paper states that the RsruBLIcAH
ticket had prevailed in Vermont, by major
ity Of THREE THOUSAND! The former
is considered problematical-but the latter is
undoubtedly true.

Surrender OF Detroit.
The following particulars of the surrender OF the
North Western Army, by their General, (Hull)
are communicated by an officer in The U. States
services. The letter from which hey are taken is
dated @n board the Cartel Nancy, near Buffalo,
August 90
The day after the action at Brownstown,
Gen. Hull totally evacuated the Canadian side
of the river, and Oh the 5th the town and gar
rison Of Detroit were summoned to surrender
TO his b. M. forces under Maj. Gen. Brock,
to which Gen. Hull replied that he would de-
fend the town 10 the last extremity. The
same afternoon heavy cannonading was COM
menccd from two batteries which Gen. Hull
had suffered TO be thrown up in full view Of
the town, without attempting to modest the m |;
the cannonading lasting till dark, and recon-
meaced the next morning at reviallce. The
British were suffered TO cross the river and
disc mbark on the American side without
shot being fired at them in foil view OF the
garrison and at eight o'clock the American
army, fcomprlsed of not less than 24o0 men,
capitulated TO 400 British and Indians. A.
mong other instances of mismanagement,the
9TH regiment, the most efficient troops in the
Army for Field Service, we're ordered to man
thc guns in the Fort, to which service not
man of them had ever been arilled.-The
General never gave an order to the officer
comman ding the batteries from the COM
nencemsnt TO tho termination Of the cannon.
ade. At the very moment he captulated,
Col. Findley's regiment was drawn up behind
a strenv picketted fence within 800 yards OF
the enemy, where they might at three vol'ies
have killed at least 200 OF them without the
least annoyance. The British troops were
advancing up the road in column, and Lieut..
Anderson who commanded the lower battery
had pointed his guns (a4 poundsrs) in such
a manner as to rake the whole column, un.
discovered by them which with the aid OF
FindIey's regiment, would absolutely have
.preten,ed their penetrating into the town.
