That part of their nation who have Joined
the British wished to come in, but they
would not receive them, as it would commit
them with the u. States. These wretches
have gone to Prairie du Chen to ioin the
SicdX's, who expect Dixona with his reeu
lars from Canada; they have taken deci-
ded part With the British. The plan of de-
taching the SaCs aud Foxes from the Mis-.
