General Gaines, with his force, took up the line of march from Fort Montgomery, on the Alabama, to h'ort Scott, on the Flint River, about the J7th ult. where he was to be joined by about 600 Creek Indian warriors, who would make his army) including regulars, militia and Indians, amount to about 2 500 fae.n.

Gaines at Fort Scott. The officer above alluded to, was dispatched hereto procure four field pieces for the expedition) and will return immediately. We learn that General Gaines made a demand upon the Seminoles for the murderers of seven whites they refused and in reply stated, that our people had killed ten of their tribe, and demanded the balance to be given up to them, as the only condition on which they would make peace. The General made no further replv, but immediately put his troops in motion to operate against them.
