They were then signalled from the fort to retire, and it i* said such was their positive orders.

From the best accounts, we believe the killed of the Kentuckians in this affair will amount to from. 100 to 150 men, Many-ccenes of horrid cruelty were again overdid by the savages as at the ri ver Haisin. About 3 9 are supposed to have falser, after the surrender. -i At same time, or nearly so, that the af fair was acted over the river, an attack was commenced against a gun and mortar bat tery on this side, under col.

THE commanding general has observed with the warmest gratitude, the astonishing exertion* wnich have been made by bis ex cellency governor Meigs, and the general and oilier militia officers of.this state, in col lecting and equipping a body of troops for the relief of Fort Meigs ; but the effirts of these gentlemen would have been uoavad ing if they had not been .seconded by the patriotic ardor of every description of citi zens ; which hat induced tju.ni iu >eav<> their hornet at a most critical season of the year, regardless of every consideration, bur that of rendering service to their country.— The general found the. road from Lower Sandustty literally covered with men—and amor.g3t them many of those who had shared in the toils and dangers of the revolutionary war, and troin whom of coarse there exis ted no legal claims for military service. The general lias every reason to believe that similar elf >rts have been made in Kentuck v. He ofT. rs to all. of these brave men from both slates his sincere acknowledgments, and is happy to inform them that there is at present no necessity for their longer con tinuance In the fold—The enemy has fi^d ■viih precipitation from fort Meigs ; and that fort is in a much better situation to re sist an attack, than when the late seige commenced.
