cHILLrcoTHE, August 5.


On Sunday evening last an express arriv-
ed here from General Harrjson's head quar-
tiers at Lower Seneka, bringing intelligence
from Fort Meigs up to the 9th ult at which
period nothing of serious nature had been
attempted by the enemy, il we except soma
unsuccessful endeavors to draw our troops
out of the fort We have been politely IA
vored with the perusal of letter from an
officer Of distinction in the army to gen.
tleman in this town, dated Head Quarters,
Seneka, July 80, which states, that intelii-
gence had been received from Fort Mcigs
as late as the 9th, announcing that tEs
British and Indians were in considerable
numbers around the Fort, but had as YET
made no attempt to take it by storm, or
even to attack it with their artillery 2heir
principal object appeared to be to draw our
troops out of the Fort, and they made SCI
veral attempts to effect it, one of which was
very near being successful. They withdrew
about mile or two from the Fort. and
commenced heavy fire, and afterwards
kept up scattering fire, gradually APP
preaching the Fort, at the same time.
Our troops believing that detachment
advancing to tl4eir relief were engaged vs;fA

Dear Sir,
have the honor to inform you that the
combined force of the enemy, amounting
to at least 500 regulars and seven or eight
hundred Indians under the immediate COM
mand of General Proctor, made its appear
ance before this place, early on Sunday
evening last, and so soon as the General
had made such disposition of his troops as
would cut off my retreat should be dispo-
sed to make one, he sent Colonel Elliott,
accompanied by Major Chambers, with a
flag, to demand the surrender of the fort,
as he was anxious to spare the effusion of
blood, which he should probably not have
in his power to do, should he be reduced to
the necessity of taking the place by storm.
My answer TO the summons was, that was
determined to defend the place to the last
extremity, and that no force, however large,
should induce me to surrender it. So soon
as the flag had returned, brisk fire was
opened upon us from the gunboats in the
river and from 5 IL howitzer on shore,
which was kept up with little intermission
throughout the night Atan early hour the
next morning, three sires (which had been
placed during the night within $50 yards Of
the pickets) began TO play upon US but with
