INDIAN AFFAIRS.

BY gentleman direct from Ncw-Orleans,
we learn, that ,ody &c 500 British Troops
had landed at 81. D1arkS--that they bro't with
them 2S00 stand of arms, which they were dis
tributing among the Indians, and were active
ly engaged in fortifying Deer Island, situated
near the mouth of the Appalatchcola. Our
informant adds, that the report of NJ Queen's
surrender, is incorrect-on the contrary, it was
stated he had sent word to our Officers, that he
would soon be enabled TO give them another
trial of strength. Deluded fanatic he. would
wind Up the tragedy, by eXterininating his IN
happy race, rather than accept the mercy
which is rroffered TO him.

DEFENSIVE MEASURES

Great preparations, it seems, are making
FOR the defence of the city of -MeR.- York. A.
Inongst other measures suggested by the dan
ger of the times, we find that a meeting of
such of the citizens of that place, as are ex-
empted by age and inhrmjties from militia du-
y, has been held for the purpose of forming
themselves into Artillery Companies for the
defence of the city. Capt, Alexander Co6i,,
having been called to the chair, and Mr.. FL
kanah DooHttLe appointed Secretary, the
meeting proceeded to appoint committees 70
carry their patriotic purpose into effect The
companies will no doubt be organised, and
although they cannot be expected to do much,
in all situations their weight will no doubt be
felt at dead kif, .fler. Gaz.

of the statement he left PASSPORT on the 9TH

we'd sufficiently late TO furnish the news, but
a number of letters came for this place, the
contents of which may give some further ms

that his news was pacific, and his belief that

How are they to he paid for but by drawing

THE, ENEMY RFJOyAT

The following is copy of a letter yester--
day received at the War Department from
tine mouth of the Potomac, about which very
erroneous and exaggerated reports have been
in circulation. The British squadron recently
in the Bay, awaiting itself of its wings, moves
about from point to point, from river to river.
and by this frequent molten induces a bcI;rf
that there is more than one such squadron in
the Bay The enemy has probably, now en-
tered the Potomac for the purpose of water
ing only, as he has very few small vceselx
with him, and cannot ascend the river hiehcr
than Ladders ferry even in the smallest of
ms larger vessels The force nov in the Po-
toTnac is evidently the same whose appear
ance Con Saturday and Sunday in such force
in the mouth Of he Patuxent, caused lie late
requisition from the District, and the call for
the militia OF Prince George * Charles coun-
ties. The force Of the enemy s; Gifts means
OF offence being now better understood, we
nope to hear that our troops are. speedily re-
caIledto their families, whose apprehensions
have been, as we think, rather unnecessariJv
excited On the present occasion.
