After issuing the above address, Dorr, ac-
companed by about fifty men, fled in the d..
rection of Connecticut.
Most ofDorr's men appear to have obey.
ed his directions to dispense. The detach.
ment of Government forces under Cal.
Brown, numbering about 500 men which
quartered at Grenyille on Monday night,
marched at half past four the next morning
for Chepachet, which is seven or eight miles
from Granville. On their arrival there, the
force which held the fort was So materially
reduced, that this advance party at once took
possession. no resistance being offered. The
ratification proved to be of much less
strength than has been represented. 1t is
now held by The Government troops. A.
bout one hundred the insurgents who re-
manned in the vicinity were taken prison
ers, and additions were constantly made to
this number.
At the time when the express by which
this news was brought. left Chepachet for
Providence, early yesterday morning, the
troops had surrounded the village, and a
search had begun for concealed rebels.
The insurgents expressed themselves
very indignant at DORIS flight, and several
of them declared that they would shoot him
if they find him. He was accompanied it
is said by about fifty men.
large body of them went through Bur-
rillvile, in the direction of Massachusetts.
The fugitives were in considerable parties

dangerous to the peaceable inhabitants, I'M

before us, none were killed aud only one
person wounded in the affair. As the Gov

fired upon and one person was wounded.

DsPUrArIoN FROM New YORK. dep
utaiion from His Excellency Gov. Seward,
Of New York arrived here this morning.
The object of the deputaiion is 10 ascertain
if any citizens of New York have been en-
gagged in the traitorous instruction of T.
w. Dorr, also 10 ascertain if any money,
here from New York, and if so, BY whom.
The gentlemen charged with this mission
have proceeded to Chepatchet.- Boston d.
Ado.
o. This mornings BOAT brings nothing
additional excepting the following paragraph
from the N. Y. Com. Adv. OLA evening.
Postscript.
We have reason 10 believe that Dorr IS
now in this city. II is believed that he was
at the Second Ward Hotel this morning and
is probably there at the moment we ure wri-
ting this paragraph. OF course he will
change his lodgings, on seeing this publica-
ton, but we call on The police 10 arrest him.
Gov. Seward has issued two acquisitions
for his arrest, and would doubles, have is
sued the third, but for the circumstance Of
his leaving the city early this morning for
tho North. 1t is the duty, hewever, of eve
~ good citizen aid in the Apr ehension
ofthis traitor, not only against the govern
ment ofhis own State, but against the peace
of the Union.
