About the lt of JulyCaptain Heald who commanded at Fort Chicago, rscci ved carders to send as many cf the chief in his neighborhood as he ecu Id collect to the grand council at pKua : in this seivice he was unsuccessful : hew vei with the assistance .of a few traders, some i diar.s ol little note were prevail ed tipnn to go. The par y thus m.idc up procedrd about 90 miles -on their vrry to P:qua, where they met Cpin Wells, with n order from General Hvtl directing the United State Factory to give up all the Goods to the Indians as presents I and the Garrison to evacuate the Post and nicsrch to Fort Wayne and ijrovt hence to Detroit ! On he 13tr, both panes arrived at Chicago, and Captain He aid p reared to comply with this order, bu. thought i prudent to destroy all the whisk y nd gun powder befute the Gener.il distribu tion took place.; The Indims suspect ing thi, listened, and heard the staving f the powder casks and charged Ctpt. Wells with the fart ; he dented the charge, and the Factory goods were all distributed to upwards "t 800 Indians. Sjme symptoms of discontent ap pearing among the Indians and an arri val of an Indian on the, 14th, i-h a larg. r-.d belt of Wampum, sent by Main Poe 'he Ptttowatamv chief, from Maiden, acquainting the Indians, that thr B itish and their allies had five pitched battles with the Americans, nd that thi English were always successful, that Gen.

This speech from such a man as Ma n Poe, with the discontents in not reie v ing the powder, brought on the afack.

FROM THE WESTERN ARMY. The following extract of a letter to a gentleman in Washington city contains the latest authentic information of the movements of the Western army : ChOUcalhe, Oct. 6, 1812. Colonel James DunUp, who returned laat CTeningrom St Mary'a, reports, that an ex presa arrived at that pUce o gen. Ilarriton, from pen. Wiooheater, urging him to repair immediately to Port Defiance thatilarrison marched with all expedition at the head of 2500 or 1000 mounted riflemen. The ex-, prew atsted that gen.' Wfaichesler was at or rrar fort IV.fimce with about J3000 Ohio and Kntupkx Volunteers and thai a body of la-dis-ia and Oritish, amounting to 2500or 3000 wiui six pieces of artillery, encamped a omitctbretf miles distance. Winahsater was htxxry itptSiini; an attatk." " ' - - 4 v' VMiatoine, vet. "! ' The van guard tof the. North Western Ar riiy under gelt. Winchester, parched some idajra ago from Tort Wayne iTrfr fort Defiance. It was composed of Payne's brigadeof Ken tucky volunteers ;Garrad'a iroop of dra goons, and about 400 of the 17th regiment of regulars. They advanced to within 3 miles of fort Defiance and there found, that tJOOO British and Indiana, with 6 pieces of artillery, had fortified themselves 'ft. the fort. Win chester -also-fortified his -carapr and Waited for reinforcements. " This inforraatidn is said to have been com municated to general Harrison, at St. Mary's hy express. He immediately marched for fort Defiance with 3000 mounted riflemen. The following extract of a letter from an Officer, in the Army at Fort Wayne is quoted as 'confirmation of the above ; and the article following under the date .of Meadville, fixes the object andnature 61 the -British Cxpedr tton. Extract a tetter-dated Sept. 15. " The laat newa gotten ia, that a large body of Brjtish regulara and Indiass, under the command ef Tecumseh fwho is a Brigadier General in the British Service! were at Fort Defiance on their way to reduce fort Wayne, from thence to go to Vincennes for the same purpose whether they hava etTected their purpose is not known." . . Meadville, Sept 23. Late from Detroit. Mr. William Magaw armed here yesterday afternoon from De troit, which pUce he left laat Saturday after noon. He siates .'that all the cfcnnoaand am munition taken at Detroit are removed. That Detroit is now garrisoned, by One hundred Hritisbiegufers, and t,hat there are not more than fifty ai Maiden. About eight days ago two Indians came into Detroit with a letter, which they fiwndon an express whom they intercepted and Kiuec, ana wnicu aa ucen tvt by the commander of fort -Wayne to ge neral Harrison, requu iog auccOUrs, and stilt ing that hia situation was critical. TheUri tiili commander on the receipt of the'letter immediately sent about one thousand' Indi ana, who had arrive at Detroit aince its Str rendtr, with a few regulars, -to aKackthe fort i since which time they had not been heard of. The Indians who were at the sur render of Detroit have been almost ail sent down to Ion Erie. The 'British,' be states, have no expectation of being able to hold b Detroit. The inbatatants ol -Detroit are m a wretched situation. The savages can no longer be restrained hy the BrrUsh'from acts of violence. ; Taking the above cmttmstances to gether, there can be but little doubt that we shall! in a few dap hear of warm work between our patriotic army under Harrison and the army of the allies (British and Indian) Whether their forces are beaded by a British or an In- dian general we have not heard ; but we rendered of tbem if they should be bro't to action- , 17, (K.) Sept 26. . By the politeness of Mr. Stephen Ru:ldeli, who has leturned from a visit to the army of Gen Harrison, we have been favored 'with the following infor mation. The Indians began to encamp about Fort Wayne, two weeks at least, before they made the attack on the fort. Du ring this time thty wefe permitted to go into the fort every day, with a flag, aud even after they had killed Stephen Johnson, who was going out of the fort with an express, they were admitted in-to-the fort and there received presents. Capt. Uiica lured the Indians to bring . the body of Johnson, whom they had J killed, into the tort to pe Dunea vvnen the Indian commenced the attack up on the fort, capt. Kiiea the commanding officer, drank a quantity of liquor and lay down dead drunk for twelve hours. During this time his lieutenant kept up a constant firiag from the fort, until the capt. awoke when he ordered the men to cease firing -) When General Harrison arrived at Fort Wayne, 'he had capt. Rhea arrest ed and it is. supposed he will be broke The men m Fort Wayne saw the army of Gen. Harrison advancing, and he, Indians retreating on the other sideat the.same time. Logan, an . Indian, who was with our army, rode oa to the Indian camp with 700 men and raised the Indian yell, and was answered by the enemy, who were about 150 yards from their , camp, but from the obstacles in the way the;' could not be pursued with effect The fort was well provided for a siege, having in it 100 men; plenty of provisions and ammunition, and four cannon 6 poun ders. But having a second Hull for commander, all would have been lost in a few days if our army had not arrived there in time to prevent it. ! "V Extract of a letter from Gov. Meigs to Gen. Van Horn, dated Urbana, Sept-12. Gen. Harrison's army reached Fort Wayne on Saturday last, all safe. The Indians had retired four day a before, after! burning and destroying every species of property, 'public and private", outside thegarrison. My bro ther and two soldiers are the ! only-persons that have fallen at that place, j Expeditions have gone out in different directiona from Port Wayne to harwus the Indians. The Miamies have associated with the Pottawt tamies and are of course against us. One party had gone against their towns on the Wabash, and another against the Potawata-, miea'on the waters of lake Michigan. There, is no w altogether in advance of this place between 4 and 5000 men, and about 2000 within 2 days coming on. We have every reason to believe that the frontier will be visited by the savages. H.

Fe deral Governor and Senator in Con ! gress, at the next meeting of the Legi& I latore. It would be an "unprofitable employment of pur time minutely to jenquire Into the causes which have produced a result so unexpected and .mortifying. To the suTendci"of De- trbit, and the unfortunate civil war at Baltimore, which certain leading'Fede- -ralists had excited, we do not say inten tionally, and then profited of for party -purposes, as its principal causes, may be referred this want oi success in the political struggle s-this want of success, rwc say, because a defeat it is m.t, us we "shall presently shew It cannot be con--cealed that the stand takcti by a few Rc ' publicans in the state on the subject of jthe Presidential Election, in opp;MUort to the general sentiment oi the paity, ,h?dan erTect,' by involving them in ;r plejtity and inconsistency, to .wealvtn their utUiiy in the cause. The singular paradox has been exhibited of -a7 Section of a party being at once the friends and the enemies of an administration of a government friendly to the policy the government has pursued, inimical to 'those Who have adopted it -anxious fori aipersevererice i and yet thwarting the execution of that policy, This descrip tion of persons, many of them, we are sorry 'to say, of respectable characiei and btanding, so far from supporting the j Republican interest during the few months last past, when united exertions were necessary to the success of a com ' mon cause, have assailed the ibtegiity'of the party in the only way in which U is j vulnerable, that is, by promoting disii ',nion amongst its members It was to have been expected then) when the ex ertions of the Federal party were en , couraecd bv the appearance of lbke- , warmness, to say no more ol it, in some .oi those who have heretofore been theii most zealous opponents it was to have been expected, we say, that they should ! have been even more successful than they were. Thus much as to the cau ses of the defalcation of Republican j votes. We have touched this point with regret, and probably shall hot a- gain advert to it. It is the part of wise men to learn wisdom from experience, to profit from adversity. But, the opposition party have no cause for loud boasting and inconside rate exultation. The state of Maryland is still firmly Republican ; she will re main so. Her Representation in the Thirteenth Congress wiH be the same as it is in the Twelfth. Messrs. Ring gold, Kent, M'Kim, Moore, Archer and Wright, Republican,-and Messrs. Han son, Stuart and Goldsborough, Fedeial,; are said to be elected. If it te so, and we have no doubt of the fact, there is.no change in the political complexion of her Representation in Congress. And we believe, in fact, that a large majority of all the votes taken at the late Elec tion is Republican ; although, owing tg the and-republican mode of election ac cording to local boundaries instead of the population of the country, a plurali ty of delegates is given to a minority And there is every reason to calculate, from all that has come to our knowlege, that at the ensuing election of Electors, ol the eleven to be chosen from the state of Maryland, eight will be Repub licans of the Old School, the friends of Madison and Gerry. Nat. Int. PENNSYLVANIA. . Pennsylvania election took place on Tuesday last. We are happy to say that the Republican Ticket has pre vailed by increased majorities, and that even the city of Philadelphia, which gave last year a large Federal majority, is now Democratic.
