.hRAfY MOVEMENTS.

On Sunday last, four companies Of vo-
lunteer Cavalry, (about 500 men) left
this place under the command Of colonel
Simrall, on their way to join the army In
Ohio. Previous to leaving this, the Of
ficers elected capts. Mcdowell and JOS.
Simrall majors; and Dr.. Smith of SacI-
bysille, surgeon.
Captain Arnoid's company of volun.
teer mounted riflemen, nearly 20 in
number, raised in this county, left here
on Monday for the army.
Captain Quarles' company from Pu-
laski, about 90 men, arrived in this place
ON Tuesday last, destined as above
This company is attached to no regi-
ment, and we understand was raised for
10 months. 1t has since joined col. Jen-
ning's regiment, which was deficient one
company.
Most of coils. Barbee and jennings
regiments have passed through George
town, on their way to the army as above,
These men will augment the army from
this state, destined to Detroit, Sc. to at
least 4,6oO men. Two other regiments,
viz. WillcOx's and Miller's, have march
ed to Vincennes. Col. Barbour's regi-
ment has matched for kaskaskla to the
relief of Edwards. Thus the whole OF
this states quota arc in motion and at
least one thousand volunteers IN addition
TO il.
I'he people in the state of Ohio are al
so on their march in grea. numbers to
the post of danger; and number OF
Virginia ck-woods-meu,w hear 1000,
are or their march towards our army
We dosno vouch for the truth OF this
--.st statement but it is currently re-
ported ard believed here.
If artillery Can he taken to Dstroit,
and the army is suffered to proceed, the
British and iadians will repent that De-
troit was given up to them. 1t has a
reused the spirit of the Western people,
and called into action their resources.

MANY serious Inconvenience have
been felt by the Editor of this Gazette,
in consequence Of the small size of the

printed. 1t has frequently happened
that the publication ofilnportant intelli-
gcncc has been unavoidably delayed
from this eircumstance-andm many int.
resting political papers presented to Its

ces, and in compliance with the request
of many OF his patrons. The Editor has
at very considerable expence increas-
ed the size Of his paper, and presents 1t
this morning upon Super Royal sheet.
The motives which have induced him
to make this improvement, and the adj
vantages which will result to his sub

it TO their approbation.-The price of

ted Seht 5, 1912.
We orc in daily expectation here OF
visit from the English their vessels APP
p2ar every few days, in sight Of the town
OF Erie. Last week, one OF them, the
Lady Provost, had TIE assurance to sail
into the harbour, in the sight ct our
troops, put out her boats, and began
sounding the harbour. As we bad not
single piece of cannon a: Erie, we could
only look on tame spectators. Govern
mcnt has certainly placed w ia most
critical situation: should the B,ltish
land, s there is very little to hinder them
the town of Lrie, and this whole frontier
must be deserted, OF become prey to
the savages, as we have nothing but
few hundred militia, who haCked in on
the appearance OF the British feet, OK
pccting landing 1t proved TO be tie
prisoners of Hubs army, going down
the Lake to the British Fort George, at
the east end Of Lake Erie. Since that
time the Militia are returning to their
homes, as it is impossible to keep them
long at time. By some of our prison
ers that were taken at Detroit, the 10Th
of August, who have been landed AID
are now here, we understand they mean
to attack the Americas posts At Black
Rock, and Niagara, as gen. Brock has
gone down from Fort Maiden, with tho
chief of his forces. If successful there
they mean then to attack. and plumber,
the town of Erie God protect US is our

Ertract eta letter from ono ofthe u.
States Consul Generals IN Eurote, to
reshect0tle Merchant IF " York.
ct appears by the treaties made be-
tween France, Austria and Prussia, in
the month Of March last, and published
in Nov following, that each contracting
party engages itself to have no connec-
ton whatever with any neutrals, before
that the British Cabinet shall decide to
reg ulate its operatio ns by the maritime
PRINCIPLES established by the treaty ct
Utrecht: it is therefore evident that the
repeal of the Orders in Council, will
not operate to open renewed inter-
course in trade, between the L. States
and France. or any part OF the continent
of Europe, under its influence. This
fact ought to be duly appreciated by the
merchants of the United States, which
will be the means Of restraining them
from attempting new adventures to the
continent Of Europe, and of preventing
the loss of much property from new
seizures and con6scations."

am not a >sanguine politician, but

from this ruinous war? In York, Lam

ties, the friends Of peace will have over
whelming maiorties. These counties
are Inhabited principally by Germans,

reason to believe that Dewitt Clinton will
find warm supporters in every part Of
