Arrival of y. s. Troops at Detroit
Dispersion of the Navy Island Patricia
and probable close Of disturbances on tho
frontier.
About twelve o'clock this day our citi.
zens were greeted with an unusual occur.
renee in the month of January. A large
steamboat hove in sight which gave rise to
ousand coajectures as to her object
destination, &c. &c. On arriving at tho
wharf, she proved to be the Robert Fulton
from Buffalo, in employment, Of the gener.
al government, and containing three compa.
MES of U. S. Troops, under command OF
Col. Worth. We have had the pleasure OF
an interview with several of the officers,
and we have gathered the following details,
which in the present state Of excitement 10
this city, will, we doubt not, be acceptable
| to our readers.
The detachment under Col. Worth, had
been ordered to ferret out the arms and
munitions Of war belonging to the assem-.
blage that lately tenanled Navy Island, and
to enforce such measures as he might deem
necessary to secure the observance Of our
neutrality with Great Britain. The Ful.
ton left Buffalo on Sunday last. The first
decent upon the articles in question, was at
Fredonia, small village a few miles dis.
tant from Dunkirk harbor, where they
were deposited in an clubhouse, belonging
to hotel. A peaceful request was male
for a transfer Of the articles, and the Pa
triois having heard ofthe approach Of the
expedition. abandoned their depot: conse-
quenily the arms were obtained without
any difficulty, and in an hour the expedi-
lion were on their return march with hve
Wagons loaded with the spoils. AS they
approached the steamboat, Manifesto.
lions Of dissatisfaction were apparen. a.
J mong tho Patriots, and the commanding
officer directed the troops to take position
on both TANKS of the Wagon train. and
keep a look out against an attempt 10 res.
! cue. We are told that many hard words
, were heaped upon the officers and soldiers
: and had there not been strong force 10
] attendance, an effort would have been
] made TO rescue the arms by the pa riots.
