WAsHINSToN, March 10.
We have no further certain information
on the subject of the detachment sent off
from General Harrison's army for the pur-
pose Of attempting the destruction of the
British shipping at Mahen, which marched,
we believe, on the 5th ult. A report has
reached the city in letter from Buffalo, da-
ted the 9th of March, of all express having
brought information that General Harrison
had retaken Detroit. We are inclined to
disbelieve it, because we have never under
stood il to be his object at present to 60
there, and because Il was not in the line OF
his operations at Maiden, as we understand
them.
