lav last, four companies of vo
ralrv, (about 300 men) left
I thin place under the command of colonel
Simr^Il, on their way to join the army in
Ohio. Previous to leaving this, the of
ficers elected capts. M’Dowell and Jos.
Snnr dl majors ; and Dr. Smith ot S.:el
byiille, surgeon.
Captain Arnold’s company of volun
teer mounted riflemen, nearly 70 in
" number, raised in this county, left here
on Monday for the army.
Captain Quarles* company from Pu
laski. about 60 men, arrived in this place
on Tuesday last, destined as above.—
This company is attached to no regi
ment, and we understand w as railed for
12 months. It has since joined col. Jen
ping’s regiment,which was deficient one
company.
Most of cols. Barbee and Jcnning’s
regiments have passed through George
town, on their wav to the army as above.
These men w ill augment ihe army Irom
this state, destined to Detroit, &c. to at
) least 4.600 men. Two other regiments,
viz. VVillcox’s and Miller’s, have maren
ed to Vincennes. Col. Barbour** regi
1 me lit has marched tor Kaskaskia to the
relief of Edwards. Thus the whole of
this state’s quou are in motion ; and at
least ouc thousand volunteers in addition
to it.
The people ir. the stile of Ohio are al
so on their march in great numbers to
the post of danger; and a number i>t
Virginia back-woods-men«we hear 2000,
[• are on their march towards our army.—
r We do not vouch for the truth of this
statement ; but it is currently re
ported ar.d belk ved here.
If artillery can be taken to Detroit,
and thearmv is suffered to proceed, the
British and Indians will repent that De
troit was given up to them. It has a
roused the spirit ot the western people,
and called into action iheir resource*.

Mrtnv serious inconveniences have
been felt by the Editor of this Gazette,
in consequence of the small size of the
sheet upon which it has been hitherto
printed, lt has frequently happened
that the publication of important intelli
gence has been unavoidably delayed
from tins circumstance—and many inte
resting political papers presented to its
readers in detached pieces, thereby los
ing in a gicut measure their force and
cfleet.—To remedy these inconvenien
ces. and in compliance with the request
of many oi his {nitrons. Flic Editor has
at a very considerable expence increas
ed,the sized his paper, and presents it
thfs morning upon a Super Royal sheet.
The motives which have induced him
to make this improvement, and the ad
vantages which will result to bis sub
scribers from it, will, he hopes entitle
it to their approbation.—The piice of
the country piper will not be affected
by this change in the size of the p. per,
the p-ice of the Daily paper will be rais
ed alter the first of October to se\ cn dol
lars.
It is tilth satisfaction we announce the
arrival at this port of the ship ARGO,

We have been poiitely furnished by
a young gentleman, passenger in this

their content* have been principally an
ticipated by the arrival of the Minerva

If on a careful perusal of the papers we
should find any thing w orthy of notice,
not before published, we shall present
it to our readers as early as possible.

PLEASING FROM PENNSYLVANIA. )
Extract af a letter from a gentleman V
information in Pennsylvania, to h\
friend m this towny dated llrA Scfi\
tember} 1812.
“ I am not a sanguine politician, bat
at present am of opinion that \rc have a
rational ground to believe that the bale
ful night-shade of Jacobinism is about to
pass away, and that the sun of Federal
ism will once more arise. In every
part of this opulent state, the honest,
the peaceable and the industrious culti
vators of the soil, begin to look around
and ask themselves what are the advan
tages, what the blessings to be expected
from this ruinous war ? In York, Lan
caster, Bucks and Northampton Coun
ties, the friends of peace will have over
whelming majorities. These counties
are inhabited principally by Germans,
who are men of industry and generally
opposed to all war measures. They are
very numerous, and (it is said) will be
very unanimous. Franklin, Adams and
Cumberland, compose one district, ard
send two members—Edward Crawford,
E»q. and Janies Duncan, ot Carlisle, are
the federal candidates. They are men
highly esteemed in their private charac
ters, and will be well supported. Great
changes arc daily taking place. I have
reason to believe that Dewit Clinton will
find warm supporters in every part wf
the state.
“ There are still some bitter spu its who
cndeavrtPt® justify the war and to support
Madison. These will be active. There
arc otners oi a muuer cast, vj.o nave
too much prjdc to desert their party, al
though they cannot give a cordial sup
port to their measures—many of these
will remain at home on the day of ilec
tion. There is a .third pot lion of those
called Democrats who will make no
scruple of deserting their party. In
d.cd vary many of them have already
come over and v.ill give a deckled sup
port l'» the federal ticket.”
Extract of a let try from a gentleman at
U'aterjbrd, P entity Ivania^ to the Edi
tor cf the Uiitcd State*’ Gazette, da
ted Sr ft. 5, 1312.
w Z til C in daily expectation here of a
visit f o»n the English ; their vessels ap
p3ui* every few days, in Light of the town
oi Erie. Lai week, one of them, the
l.ady Provost, had the assurance to sail
into the harbour, in the sight cf our
troops, put cut her boulr, and began
sounding the harbour. As we had not a
single piece of cannon a*. Erie, we could
only look on lame spectators. Govern
ment has certainly placed u< ih a most
critical situation: should the British
land, Sc. there is very little to hinder ti cm
the town of Erie, anti this whole frontier
must be descried, or become a ptcy to
the savages, as we have nothing but a
few hundred militia, who flicked in on
the appearance of the British fleet, ex
pecting a landing. It proved co he t: c
prisoners of Hub’s nrmv. going down
the Lake to the Br itish Fort George, at
the east end of Lake Eric. Since that
time the Militia are returning to their
homes,as it is impossible n* keep tin m
long at a time. Bv some of our prison
ers II.at were at umi.ii, mr *u.n
of August, who have been landed and
are now here, we understand they mean
to attack the American po>ts at BLck
Rock, and Niagara, gen. Brock has
gone down from Fort Malden, with tin*
chief of his forces. If successful there
they mean then to attack, and plunder,
the town of Erie (lod protect us is our
fervent prayer.”
Accept my respects.
Extract cf a letter jrem one cf the V.
States Consul-Generals :n Europe, to
a respectable Merchant of .V. York.
4‘ It appears by the treaties made be
tween France, Austria and Prussia, in
the month of March last, and published
i:» May following, that each contracting
party "engages itself to have no connec
tion whatever with any neutrals, beiere
that the British Cabinet shall decide to
regulate its operations by the maritime
principles established by the treaty of
Utrecht; it is therefore evident that the
repeal of the Orders in Council, will
not operate to open a renewed inter
course in trade, between the U. States
and France, or any pait of the continent
of Europe, under its influence. This
fact ought to be duly appreciated by the
merchants of the United States, which
will be the mean* of restraining them
from attempting new adventures to the
continent of Europe, and of preventing
the loss of much property from new
seizures and confiscations.”
