D+The following, from the Providence Chron-
icle, of the 9th, is all the additional news we
have from the Seat of War.
This morning about twelve o'clock, it was un-
dersood that there were some eight or ten recruits
from Mass, on their way to join DORIS encamp-
ment at Chepachet. 1t was resolved to cut them
off, and body of fifteen or twenty of our young
men volunteered to perform the office, under com
mand of VIM. p. Blodgett, young man who it
was thought was fully competent TO take charge
of the enterprise Tt-aSy 10y Sssz

ternoon about 3 O'clock the whole party of re-
cruits were brought into the city, prisoners Two
or three of this gang we hear are desperate fell
lows. They were armed with rifles One ofthe
party attempted resistance, but without as the
event proves, any advantage to himself or friends
We learn from the encampment at Chepachet,
that about so of the Dorres have deserted. and
furthermore, on the best authority that the whole
encampment does not amount to 1000 men We
hear too, that MIR Dorr made a speech to his army
yesterday, in the course of which he assured his
men that he should not desert them this time but
that he had determined either to conquer. or leave
his bones upon the field
The latest news from DORIS camp up to this
hour, reports the forces there to be only eight hun
dred strong, all told The majority of his men are
strangers; ard his body guard $50 strong, a gang
of graceess desperadoes, who, it is said, will fight
with brutal desperation. TIE whole of DORIS ar
my bids fair to be cut to pieces. The forces that
commenced duty today, will muster nearly three
thousand strong-all well armed and accompanied
with an artillery which cannot be surpassed Re-

visited DORIS encampment yesterday. He went
there as suffrage man and for the purpose ofin-
ducing him and his forces to dishand He passed
by the guards and was finally introduced to Mr.
Dorr at his Head Quarters, which were at a tav-
ern, In the village of Chepachet
He told Mr. Dorr that the Suffrage party as
body did not approve of his movements and that
he had better advise his forces to disband that in
fact there was nothing to fight for; every thing
having been conceded to the Suffrage men, that
he could ask. No effect was produced,
MIR. Dorr talked nothing but fight, and upon the
whole treated his former friend rather coldly Mr.
Atwell was prisoner in his own house, and was
not allowed TO hold communication with his friend,
our lntormant says Mr. DORIS forces did not ex-
coed 800. His body guard was composed the
most desperate men that could be found
