The proper in llru£l!ons have been issued, for main taining the garrison at Fort le Bceeuf; but. it is probable, that the temporary pro.ifion which Congress hnt made, for keeping a military' force in the western counties, will supersede the necessity of your intci'poung, at this time, for the prote&inn of our frontiers.

Tiie dilburfemcnts from i the laine date, including, among other charges, the expence of the late session of the legislature, and the appropriation forthe militia fervi«es, have amounted to iß_,&-3 dollars and 79 cents.
