Army upon the Wabash. On Thurfday lad an cxprefs from the army reached town ; he brings information from them as late as the s;h inft. on the 7th, at 4 o'clock in the morning, they were attacked hv the Indians in their tents the army was completely furprifed the firft intimation of the attack being the yell of the Indians within their camps we have not received a detail of the killed and wounded, but hourly expecl it, fo foon as it arrives we fhali haden to lay it before our readers. From the reports by the exprefs the Indians were about TOO drong, and the governor about 1000, that it lias been the hardefl conteft we have ever had with the Indians, &. t!:e mo(t glorious victory, the aclioji lulled ai)o ut two hours; never was more firmnefs or bravery difplayed on any occalion ; the regulars and militia vied with each other in ads of heroifm and valor from the commander in chieidoun to the loweil foldier, ail have done their duty ah luxe covered themlelves with laurels. The number of Indians killed is cor.jv.ehmd not to be lels than 150 us mat number of arms have been found; On the 8th the army burnt and dt droved the Prophet's town. Our lofs in killed and wounded is uncertain, reports ver' between 100 and 150. Among the killed we have to lament the lof of colonels Davis and Owens from Kentucky, eapta:ns Warrick, Spencer and iierry, and anion:; the privates Kundoiph, White and Alahan.

It is rumore I in town that two hundred ol the Chickafau Indians have rifen, lor the purpofe ol opnofing the troops who are directs A !o cpen the road through the Cree k nation.

Cord ro who commands fomewhere in the interior, learning of the expedition, gave .intimation of it to governor Saleedo, at St. Antoine, wrih an order to fend ouj patroles and intercept the party if poflible that himfelf was one of the patroles sent that he deferted his party and joined Manlhac that they crofTed the Sabine, and got within fixty miles ot this pi ice, 'Natchitoches) when they were overtaken by a large party, who furrounded the houfe (Bernard's) in which Maiffliac and his party had quartered for the night that himfelf made his t feape with much' difficulty.
