FRoM DRrRo1r.-By passenger in
the sloop Com. Perry, from Detroit, we
learn, that the brig Hunter, with Maj.
Gen. Brown and Brig. Gen. Miller on
board, was on Wednesday last, within
a few hours sail of Detroit.
Col. Butler had returned from Michili-
which post has been quietly
surrendered by the English to the Ameri-
can detachment; the British had destroy
ed some part of the works. Col. Mellow
al. the late British commandment at Michi-
rimackinac, has encamped on an island
near ST. Joseph's. 1t is understood that
the British do not intend to make any
regular Notifications in that vicinity until
the commissioners to be appointed by
virtue of the treaty of Client shall decide
the territory of the islands in Huron river.
The brig Niagara is ordered again to
Michiiimackinac, and she will probably
visit Michigan. The Americans are to
build fort near the ruins of old fort
Dearborn at Chicago, e another at Green
Bay, also in lake Michigan. Great num-
bers of Indians are in and about Detroit,
but they are peaceably disposed. A trea
ty will be held at Detroit, as it is re-
ported, on, the goth inst. with the In.
dams.

heard the say that the country is ruined by

are left by our own administration without
defence" whi.e at the next breath they have
prescribed such men as lent money for that
purpose 10 the government. They have
sneered at democ ratio defeat when our troops
have been discon flied, and rejoiced at Feder-
al Iiiumpb when victory has perched on our
standard. They have denounced the war as
unjust in its commencement, and wicked in
It's continuance, while they have offered, pub
licIy offered TO conduct it, if the helm of ed
ministalien were placed in their hands.
They have preached the doctrine of SUBJ
mission to the people, while they have done
all in their power 10 coerce The government
10 that measure.
AT one time they declare it better for us to
hand blank paper to the Brush, and SUBJ
scribe any Treaty they might write on il,
while at another they have regretted that
peace should be concluded, while Mr.. Madi-
son is President. They have sung TIE deums
formed processions--deliveree Ora,ions--
