No news from the army.

10th.--Monday. Rainy in the morning. We herd in the morning that they had a hard battle at Browns Town and the Americans mentained their ground. Several killed and wounded on both sides. We were likewise informed that they intended to have another battle this day.

11th.--Continued showers of rain. About 5 o'clock we herd a continual firing near Browns Town which continued about one hour and a half and from the nois the American army drove the Indians and British. The Schooner Chipoway came from Lk. Erie with one company of red coats.

The Indians began their war dance and commenced firing about daily daun and a bot (boat) entered the river about fifty in number and the D. dis't. C. A. ball that evening herd both by the Indians and white people.

Their was five boats came up loaded with soldiers, and five more this morning loaded with from 12 to 20 men in each making in the whole about 170 men. Another boat arrived about eleven o'clock--20 men in it, and the new soldiers all appeared to leave the town about sunset.

16th.--Sunday. Pleasant weather but unpleasant news we herd about noon that Hull had given up Detroit and the whole Territory Mitchigan. The Indians began to return about sunset well mounted and some with horses and chais. Who can express the feelings of a person who knows that Hull had men enough to have this place three times and gave up his post. Shame to him, shame to his country, shame to the world. When Hull first came to Detroit the 4th U. S. Regt. would have taken Malden and he with his great generalship has lost about 200 men and his Territory.

Can he be forgiven when he had command of an army of about 2500 men besides the Regulars and Militia of his Territory and given up to about 400 regular troops and Militia and about 700 Indians.
