INDIAN NEWS. WINCHESTER, Odtober 20, Lail week Capt. Jacob Slough, of the federal army, passed through this town from head quarters. In the ac tion with the savages on the 20th of August last, Capt. Slough was (hot through the body, and miraculously survived it. We are extremely happy to add, that the wound is now perfe&ly healed. This Gentleman brings no later information from the army than what we have already printed. We are, however, informed thro' another chan nel, that General Scott, with a feleft detachment under his command, has again defeated the Indians, and made great havoc among them. OPTON', in Stillwater, o£lober 21, .j 794. There is a report in circulation, that at leatl Wears the appearence of proba bility, that Gen. Wayne, has (iince the defeat of the Savages Jattacked the Bri tish garrison at the Miamis, commanded by the fin]vincible Major Campbell, winch he took at the point of the bayonet. LANSINGBU RGH, N. Y. Oft. 21. The New Yoik Herald mentions in telligencc having been received there of the ew.cutiori of Fort Miamis, by Ma jdr Caailull. This report is confirmed bv a person of this town who left Mon treal, Fiiday before last, who fays that the news had been rereived there dire£t, and that it was spoken of publicly as having been done to, as they term him, " the d—d rebel General," (Wayne.) Our informant further adds, that about a week previous to his leaving Mon treal, the garrison and inhabitants had been much alarmed at the difaffe&ion of the Canadians, who went so far ai to embody on an island not far from the town, to the number of 7 or 800; — their obje& being, as was supposed, the release of JO or. 12 persons, Canadi ans, ljyalirts, and from the United States, who had been imprisoned for words spoken difrefpe&ful of the gov ernment. The garrison lay on their arms for several days, and the inhabi tants equipped and ordered to appear at a moment's warning 5 but from the want of resolution in the chiefs of the infurrc£lion, they difperfedwithout ma king any attempts, and all appeared tranquil when he left the place. It was the determination of those within the walls, in call: of an aflault, to h vc put the ptifoners to death on the attsck. The prejudice of tlje Canadr sis so great against the Englilh, it is thought that had they forced their way into town, every person who was not French would have fallen a victim to their fury. The person further adds, thst Col. Fitch, the custom house officer at St. Johns, is said to have been too lenient to the illicit traders from the United States, and broken Patrick Conroy, now fills that office, and has adopted the moll rigorous measures to prevent any illicit intercourse between the U. S. and Canada. He is constantly altended by upwards of 50 dependants night and dav, who guard all the avenues. Several persons have met with severe lofies since the new arrangements.

Or, the Foreigh Intelligence, BERN-CASTEL, Aug. 14. The French behave extremely well in Treves ;' they keep an excellent difci plinc. Divine service is performed in churches and schools as before ; they do not hurt the clergy,& if any depreda tions have been committed,' it was done by our own peasants. ' The French pay for every thing very dear, but in affig- nats. DUBLIN, September 3. The French, without having yet pe netrated into Holland, have produced an immenfc degree of mifchief. The loss which must cnfue in confeqnence of the general inundation,' is calculated at many millions; a loss which that coun try will not be able to recover for a con siderable number of years. Fontarabia, lately taketi by the French, is a place of considerable im portance. It is situated on a peninsula on the shore of the Bay of BHcay, hats" a good tidehaibcr, and was former ly confidercd as the key to Spain, in that quarter. Barrere already talks of it as a conquest that will separate Spain from the coalition, and indeed, accord ing to. all appearances; Spain must ei ther separate from the coalition, or like fomeof the other allies, demand a subsi dy to enable the Catholic King to de fend his own territories; The language of the French, is very much improved since the fall of Robe spierre. In the Couvention, a mem ber has been reprimanded for alking how another member voted on the death of the late King ; a quedion which for more tfaay two months has been held a fufficjent answer of any man, who voted for sparing the life of the unfortunate monarch. Even in the Jacobin Club, nothing is lillened to with approbation, but letitiments of moderation and humanity. It remains to be seen whether or not, the improve ment of their condu& will keep pacc with the improvement of their speeches. PHILADELPHIA, Off. 29.
