The mighty Colonel, wTio perceiv ed that his mailer felt something like irony in this well intended prttfe, wilhed much to Hop the career of this reflection, aftd to offer a few condolatory words. Thefubjefl, however, was so ticklilh that he did n'ttt kitow where to begin : he twirled his whlkeri; but if he had eradi cated every hair on hisbeird. he would not have found a sentence suited to the oc cafioa ; at last, he lO'ckily thought of in voking the German Muse, arid took up His pipe, Which was mouldering away in a corner »f the carriage; then prefling the ashes with his little fi»yi,(far- the brave Colonel never was afisid of fire) an< ad minifierirrg the tube to his mouth, hfe drew in an enoritioift ■whiff, full fix feet long Rhin!and meafkire, and blew it puff into the sacred face of Francis th« second.

CAT-SKILL, oa. 2. jin olTtging correfpondev.t at own, has favored us with the following ex tra fl of a letter from Mr. Robert New nan, who pt'JJed through that town on his return from captivity, to Kentucky, where he belonged. •» sir:, " Being informed that you wiftied an extract, of what has occurred to me, since my ca£tufe by the Indians, from General Wayne's army, in order that you might transmit it to the Catfkill Press—pursuant thereto, I give you the following account: " I was captured, returning from the river 3t. Mary's, to Bearer Greek, a bout 11 miles in advance of Fort Reco very, the ill day of Augitft. My then position, with reflect to the army, was favorable for me, by exercising a little art, and telling a story, to mitigate the barbarity, and avert the cruelties, which prisoners generally experience when tak ■cn by the favogva. But it will be n£. ceflary to trouble the community with those things which only concern me and the Indians. " They asked me a number of questi ons to which I replied in a manner that 1 supposed mod likely to fee ure my own eafc and fafety amongst them. They themfelve made but very little enquiry concerning General Wayne's army, or his intentions. I was from thence hur ried away to the Delaware towns, a lit tle examined, and generally believed to be their friend. From thence to the foot of the Rapids of the Miami of the Lake, where Col. M'Kee lives. He made every enquiry, concerning myfelf, General Wayne, and the state of his army ; and as he seemed to want to gain of me a great deal of information, or intelligence, 1 was very liberal in grati fying him in his desires. But the cha racter of Colonel M'Kee being so noto rious, I !hall pass it over, only mention ing that he doubted my friendftip to the Indian*, and fufpefted me as a spy ; and that he is one of the mod eminent merchants in the scalping trade, and a kind of Quarter-Mader-General to the Indian army, in the service of the Bri ti(h. From thence I was conducted by Ensign Thomas M'Kte (who is a Bri ti(h officer, and was in the battle fought the lad day of June at Fort-Recovery) to Detroit. The commanding officer at Detroit, particularly enquired whe ther General Wayrfe intended to march to the foot of the Rapids, and attack the Briti'h post at that place. I told him 1 knew nothing of Gen. Wayne's designs (particularly) but if there should be a British post in his road, no doubt h£ would trrtt it as he ifrould an Indian village. He fetmed very much furpi if ed that Gen. Wayne should alter his j course of march ; and that it indicated some design againlt that fort, faying that his former intended route, was to the old Miami village. " The people of Detroit seemed ve ry much exasperated agaiaft the people of Kentucky, ftfld made no fee ret of theii prayers foi tEe deftru&ion of Ge neral Wf.yne's army. Colonel Bauhee marched the 14th of Augwlt from De troit with two hundred men under his command, to the British Fort it the foot of the rapids, in order to oppose General Wayne and strengthen that j garrison. j » When the Indians tk white people [ returned frortithe battle at fort Recove ry, to Detroit, with the featps taken in that brittle difplaved on a pole, aefcord ing to their ctlftom, they were saluted from the garrifoq, with the fire of three guns, and huzzas from the citizens. From Detroit 1 was sent to Niagara to Governor Sitncoe, where similar ex aminations, and enquiries, as at Detroit took place. The Governor is fending daily all kinds of military ftorss to the fort at the foot of the rapids, ammuni tion, guns, tomahawks, and scalping kniv<fs ; provi ions And clc •'"ntf in a bundanee. ifl, ;now wketl'«€ n, t - as !i> cutLd him) it■<'' CV.nj>Vcilional or ders, or ord..■■? mm Mr. Washington, who is the hyad'uf the nob, in his lan guage, to a".ack the fort or ihfnlt the ttritifh flag at the foot of the rapids. I told him I knew nothing of General Wayne's orders, or what CongreS? had dire&ed him to do. He wished that Gen. Wayne would dare to attack that fort, if he d'd he would soon put a pe riod to the war; and the mode he wciuld adopt, would be to tfut ©if Gen. Wayne's army and make a conquest of !

The whole ■ amount of the intelligence, however, (and the last accounts leave no further room for misrepresentation on this head) is that,at the critical period of Robef bierre's fall the hall of the Jacobins was (hut by the anthority of the Cob . vention; but two days after, we find an address to the Convention from that very society under a new name.
