state Of affairs.

in of the Buffalo steamboats, with all his men,
arms baggage, &c.
Ii is suspected that this meve was made in conse-
que1ce OF hearing that the United States agent in
tended to demand the surrender Of property stolen
by the sympathetic friends of the patriots.
DR.. Duncombe is said to be at Fort Mellon with
large force and the object Of Van Rensselaer,, they

banks would redeem in specie all their issues under
