Several letters were received from our
volunteers on Sunday, dated the 9th uit.-
We learn by these. that eur bays suffered
severely during the siege Of Fort Meigs, &
particularly in the sortie under col. Miller
Twenty two more than one filth of the
original numberl were wounded, Sc
veral DANCE rously, though with the excep
ton Of the gallant Shore Che founder Of
the company it was hoped none norta!iy.
None of the letters give the name ofall the
wounded-we have however collected the
following One of the Bookers, There are
three of that name in the company ! II ebert
Biick, William r. Cheves, Herbert G.. l.of-
ton, Nicholas Massenburg, Ezra SIXTH. Jo-
seph Scott, Thos: Scott, Natl. II Wills, &
Grieve Drummond. ~
We lament 10 state that Cd lieutenant
Henry Gary died the ID day Of the siege,
after an illness of some time.
Poor Shore was carried off by lock Jaw,
produced by a wound in thc leg.
Our volunteers were placed on the right
in the sortie under col. Miller--and were
exposed 10 CALLING FIRE, to which circum-
stance is to be attributed their great loss il,
wounded.
Al the letters mention, that the loss of
the Indians must have been great. In the
sortie under col. Miller, they were posted
in front of the British, and rs no quarters
were shewn, il is expected their loss in
killed and wounded must ileve been Dire ad-

from EcRt crucr-y, ti,o
death of MIR. JonE SHoRs, one of the brave

We presume Gen, Harrison will not con.
tnue much longer to sct on the defensive
but that they will very soon proceed t.
the attack of Detroit and msidem.-
