INDIAN AFFAIRS.

There has been lately much information
received at this place entitled to creoiI anu
from different quarters, showing the conoi-
nation among the savages to attack our IRON
tiers. combination so extensive perhaps Is
without example in our country. The time
is at hand when probably it may be necessary
for every citizen to exert himself IN support
OF those measures which may be adopted Tor
ihe safety of the territory, and from the rea-
dness of the people to defend the frontier du-
ring the spring, no doubt is entertained OF
their promptitude in complying with further
calls which may be made for their services,
we will probably hereafter give the particu-
lars ofthe information received.
The following parties Of Indians have col
lected on our frontier, viz about 20 between
Boon's settlement and Fort Usage, consisting
of Winebagoes, Iaways aud ottos Upwards
of 100 Sacs, within the line, few miles a
bove Fort Mason, who we have reason to be
lieye have Joined the British On or near the
Illinois there are assembled upwards OF 900
Indians, vagabonds collected from various
tribes, and waiting ammunition to attack the
settlements Besides these we shall have to
contend with the general contederacy who
have lately concerted their plans at Green
bay, to oYerwhelm our frontiers unless pre-
vented by the captures of the British posts on
the lakes by Gen Hall These consist of the
Sioux, Chippeways, Getaways, Falisavone.
&c. Sc Although we are as we'll prepared
for the conflict as our population can admit ::
vet 1.-THE Secretary of War would reflect, that
these bands could descend from the most re-
mote points of our territorie, in a few days.
he would afford Us some troops.

when he was attacked BY the main body Of
British and Indians, consisting OF about 800
of the former and 100 of the latter. A very
sharp engagement took place, which lasted
about one hour, when the enemy was routed
in all quarters, and compelled to retreat to
Brownstown, from whence the British recross
ed to Maiden Col Miller lost IL killed and
53 wounded The loss of the British is not
ascertained, as they employed carts in carry
ing off the killed and wounded as fast as they
fell. Two wounded British prisoners were
taken; and between twenty and thirty indi-
ans are supposed to have been killed On
the 9th the day succeeding the battle, Col.
MArthur reinforced Col. Miller with about
100 more volunteers, whom he took down the
river, together with come provisions, in boats,
He then loaded his boats with the wounded
for the purpose of taking them back to De
troit When he arrived at the mouth of the
river Ducoss, he was fired on by British
armed vessel, and compelled to abandon his
boats, but saved all his men except the two
wounded prisoners, whom he left In the
boats. Col. Miller continued on the field OF
battle until The evening of the l0th, when he
received orders from Gen. Hull to march
back to the river Ducoss. to secure some pro-
visions which had just been sent there, after
which he returned to Detroit
