 In virtue of:ihis act. information having heen received on Saturday !ast, that the Ohio Commissioners protected by an arrnedescort. were engaged in running the boundary line through Hillsdale and Lenawee counties, an
 aihdavit Of the facts having been made before
 Chas. Hewitt, Esq. of 'I'eeumseh, that magis-
 trate issued his warrant for the apprehension of Patterson. Taylor and Seely, the aforesaid Commissioners, and other persons engaged in
 violating the laws ofthe Territory. With this
 warrant. the sheriff of Lenawee, snmmoning posse of thirty or forty persons, the most respectable citizens of that county, proceeded on Saturday evening to Adrian, and on Sun. day morning directed his deputies to go on , with the posse; about fourteen miles due s0Gth 'of that place, where they understood the tres- .passeFs and viOlators of our laws were thea probably stationed. <
 With the knowledge that those Ohio people
 were armed, t hecame m imperative duty to
 atm our posse. On arriving near the house
 of PhMips, 2 miles within the Michigan line,
 they foussd nine or ten armed men, ascertain-
 ed to be portion efthe Ohio party. Two of the deputy sheriffS, leaving the posse thirty
 yards distant, iu1metliafely proceeded to the
 house. advised the.pMrty that they had rMs3
 tyfoF their arrests aud demanded their surren- der.s < 'l -Ss.iIs

 The commissioners happened to be at at,-
 other house, about goo yards from the house
 of Phillips. at the time the above persons '. .wera captured. They ran in:o the woods. Gen. Taylor, one !of them. made nasty re. . treat to MaImee, about so miles, never stop
 ping until he arrived there. The other com.
 missiOners subsequently, followed him. fs8 { :, v The Gov. of Ohio, who has force of 500 : troops collected at Maumee, has issued ortiets fnr the racing aDd marching of 10, ,000 men to sthat point. declaring that he will never recross u the MauQaee Swamp until he runs the, boun. dary line, and exiends the jurisdicsion of Ohio :, over that part of our Territory claimed by her. ,Aff this hs pfoclsims he will effect, in despite of Michigan aud any assistance which the United States may afford her. If this threat sheuld be attempted to be executed, il : thS' Gov. of Ohio shOuld invade Michigan with f'aD army, he aud they will commit treason, ,agaiast the United States, and be dealt with sce0rdingly.
