The enemy it appears has quitted the
Potomac and ascended the bay with aii Lis
force... We believe that within the last ren
days, three ot four sinps (one of them of the

to ascertain his exact force until he choses

because Ho survey, as provided by the law
of tue sixtli ot May, 1812, has yet taken

these claims, congress has appropriated six
millions of acres, viz. Two millions in the
Michigan territory ; two millions in the Il

been surveyed and aid off io lots, contor-
mably to law, and the other necessary ar-
ranpgemems for issuing the warrants shall
have been made, public notice thereof will
be given in different newspapers through-
out the U. S.
In substanuating a claim of this kind, the
regular discharge of the original claimant
from the public service, will be considered
the best voucher that can be produced. A
claimant gught, also, carefully to preserve
any certificate received from the pay office
