 TUESDAY, II o'clock, A. M., DORR FLED AND HIS FORT TAKEN q!
 News has this moment arrived that the force under command of Col. Brown, has taken the insurgent fortification. Dorr had fled, but large numbers of his men had been captured. Every exertion will be made to take the Arch Traitor, whose capture is ab- solutely indispensable to the safety and peace of the State.
 Col. Brown left Greenville at o'clock this morning, and before five he had posses sion of the insurgent camp. Two of our men have been killed, one an officer, but whether in the attack or in some other way, accounts differ. The village of Chepachct is wholly surrounded, and large parties are in hot pursuit of Dorr.
 At Pawtucket, bordering on Massachu- sets, Alexander Kilby was killed, and Da- vid Cutting and Robert Roy were wounded.
 We understand that Hamilton, the Irish man, who has been prominent in the insur- gen: cause, has been taken.
 From the Commercial of last evening we learn that Dorr is now in New York, and was seen at the second ward Hotel. It is
 
 the Camp. The following is his last letter.
 GLOUCESTER, R. I. June 9.
 Having received such information as in- duces me to believe that 8 minority of the friends of the peoples constitution disap- provc of any farther forcible measures for its support and believing that the conflict of arms would. therefore, under existing cir cumstances, be but personal controversy among different portions of our citizens 1 hereby direct that the military here assem- bled, be dismissed by their respective effi- cerS.
 T.W. DORR, Commander-in-C Chief.
 Dorr slept at Thompson, on the rail road rout from Worcester to Norwich, Monday night. He arrived about midnight with some twenty of his followers, and remained in his bedroom until 10 o'clock this mor- ming, when he was last seen.

 FROM CHEPACHET.
 We have just seen Mir. Anthony Whita- ker, bearer of despatches from Col. Brow n, to Major General McNeill. The forces un- der Col. Wm. w. Brown, about 500 strong, left Greenville at about half past four o'clock this morning. Greenville is eight miles from Chepachet A scout party of the h. fantry, of about dozen men, led by Lieut. Pitman, kept in advance from half mile to two miles. They took aud sent to the rear 30 persons in the course of the march, all fugitives from Doris camp. Upon arriving near the fortifcation, it was evident that the force had materially decreased. so that the scout party, without waiting for the ad- vance of the main body, determined upon entering the fortifcation alone. No resist ance was made.
 The men fled in confusion, and the scout party took possession without firing gun. The fortification proved to be miserable affair. The main body immediately arrived and took possession of the village. It is strictly guarded, and escape from it is i'm possible. The number of prisoners was about 100. and more were taken constantly. The houses will all be thoroughly searched. Dorr, it seems left last night, with about fifty or sixty men. He went away without the knowledge of the majority of his men, and many of them declared they would shoot him, could they find him. A large body of them fled towards Massachusetts.
 Orders were issued for the Massachusetts troops to move to Pawtucket, at moments warming
 So has ended the second act of this wicked and foolish rebellion. We hope it may be over, but we fear the end is not yet We ex- pecr later news for to-day's Postscript. The latest intelligence from Pawtucket wears an unpleasant aspect There may yet be bloodshed in that quarter.
 Gov. King has issued the following pro- clamation offering an additional reward of four thousand dollars for the arrest of Thos. w. Dorr.
 "Whereas, on the eighth day of June, I issued Proclamation, offering reward of one thousand dollars for the delivery of the fugitive Traitor, THOMAS WILSON DORR, to the proper civil authorities: and whereas the said Thomas Wilson Dorr having re- turned to this State and assumed the cem- mand of . numerous body of armed men, in open rebellion against the government thereof, has again fed the summary justice that awaited him; do, therefore, by virtue of authority in me vested. and by advice of the Council, hereby offer an additional re- ward of four thousand dollars for the appre- hension and delivery of the said Thomas w. Dorr to the Sheriff of the county of Newport or Prov idence, within three months from H.o RFayr
