unsettled state, but many are returning

present has his head quarters. The Maior
General has published notice, advising
the people of Batavia, and of Genessee
county generally, TO return to their dwell

SACKETT's HARBoR, JAN l3
We have every probable reason to ex-
pect and i have not the least doubt but that
we will be attacked during the winter. Re
port says the enemy are making every ne
cessary preparation for that purpose at
Kingston. A short time since several de-
tached companies of troops amounting to
about 800 men were marched from this
place to the French Mills, leaving this
place nearly destitute of troops-there re-
mains at the Harbor only about 700 or so
of Harrison's men. Our fleet is moored
to the best advantage; but at the best
they can only operate as batteries"
Another letter states that MIR Eckford
was there and had about 400 ship carpen-
tiers at work and that all the force were
employed in cutting and drawing timber,
and erecting block houses

perceive, offered a resolution to authorize the
buildind Of an additional number OF sloops of
war. We hope that law will be Immediately
passed in conformity with the resolution.
Sloops of war will do more injury to the COM
merce of the enemy than frigatcs witness
the destruction of twenty-five British vessels,
in the space of few days, In the English
Channel itself, by the Argus, commanded by
the late gallant captain Allen. Sloops too will
add TO the naval reputation Of the nation, ssd
sink that Of the enemy witness the glorious
victories of the Wasp and the Enterprise.
A considerable number OF sloops will prove
peculiarly useful at this time, because we find
that along the eastern and Carolina coasts.
enemy's briggs and sloops OF war are often
found cruizng alone, and commit serious de-
prcdaiions on our coasting trade; and large
sloops fitted out in the eastern and Carolins
ports, and cruizeiDg near them, would not on
ly afford coasters and some ports great pio-
lection, but would compel the enemy to con-
yoy his small vessels Of war by figaies and
ships Of the line. ~ Baltimore Wing.
