the Yard and other Navy Officers, had these
brave fellows. assembled, and after a. shor, but
pertinent address, in which he assured them
Of the appreciation and projection OF their coun-
try, theSecrctary observed that as all OF them
were brave, ho must be allowed to take each
one Of them by the hand. This was done
most treadily, and while these honest fellows
extended the salute to. every officer present,
it was easily to be discovered on their APP

A meeting took place between Gen. SMyTH
and Gen. Porter yesterday afternoon OH
Grand Island, in pursuance of previous ar
rangemcnts.
They met at DAYToN's tavern, and cros-
sed thcsrivcr with their friends and surgeons
.---both gentlemen, behaved with the utmost
GOODNESS snd upconccrn-.-a shot was cxchan-
ged in as intrepid and frm manner as possi-
bic, by each~ gentleman, but without effect.
II was then represented by Gen. SMYTHs
second, that G.n. PoRrEn must now be con-
vinced, that the charge of cowardicc against
Gen. SMYTH was unfounded, aud should, III
honor, be rctrac,ed /; which, alter mutual ex.
plantations OF the matters which had given
rise TO the charge, was accordingly done by
him Gen. SMyrH then explained that his
remarks on Gen. PORTER were the result OF
irritation, and were intended as provocauves
from baving been assailed by Cen PoRrEn,
and That he knew nothing deroga,ory 10 Gen.
PoRTER's character as a gentleman & officer.
The hand Of reconciliation was ,hen offered
and received. We congratulate the frictds
Of those gentlemen upon the fortunate ter

much precipitation, but which has been adj

Franklinton for Sandusky, or the 7th'instant.
The Franklinton Chronicle states that "a
bout 100 cavalry from Gen. Crooks brigade
Of Pennsylvania militia arrived there from
Mansfield on the LIST. instant.
The same paper states that an cxprcs just
arrived there from Fort Defiance, had brought
the intelligence that the celebrated Indian
Chief, LOGAN, had died OF the wounds he re-
ceived in the la;e skrmsh near the Rapids.
The troops under the command Of Colonel
Campbell, which set out from Franklinton on
the 9Th utimo on a secret expedition, passed
through Springfield on the 9th, ell in high
spirits. Their destination is not known ; but
it is generally believed that the Wabash is to
be the theatre Of their operations. We ex-
pect shortly to hear oi some daring enterprise
from that quarter, and from The ability OF the
officers aud the courage Of the troops, glo-
rious result may confidently be anticipated.
We learn from Ohio, that Gen. WIN |

We have given it as an opinion, that the
Spirit of desertion prevalent among the Bri
fish seamen and soldiers was one cause of
the late movement of the euemy's fleet, and
going farther down the Bay.--In corrobora-
ton Of this opinion, we have heard of the
desertion OF one parry Of three, another %
five, another OF seven, another Of eleven, and
another Of nineteeo, besides many single de
