Tecumseh, and his brother, tile Proph et, had commenced those intrigues by which they expected to unite all the Northwestern Xnbes of Indians against the Winces. They went from village to village, makinz inflim matory harrangues and appealing to every passion of cruelly, rapine, and revenge. Gen.-Harrison immediately, adop'ed meas tires to place the Territory jn a situation for defence. The intrigues of Tecumseli and t)je Prophet, thongh .not although unavail ing, did not meet with complete success un til 131 1, when the approach of. ai war be tween the. United Stales and Great Britain em boldened the savages and mad & t hem more anxious than ever, for the massacre of the settlers. They assembled their wamors in prophet Town. On tlie 28tli of October, S 11, Gen. Harrison, with 900 militia Under his command, commenced his march and being compelled to pass through a counlrv which afioided every facility for at tack to the Indians, was forced to; exercise the greatest precaution and vigilance, On t'he' morning of the 17th of November, , the irmy having encamped in the vicinity i of prophet Town, was furiously attacked: by Che Indians undtfrthe- commanJd of Tc lumseh's brother.
