Full Text
We believe it to be true that General Dearborn, and Colonel Bayne, of the British army have agreed upon a suspension of hostile operations for an undefined term; but that four days notice is to be given of an intention to recommence hostilities. There is no doubt, General Prevost, having received official notification of the repeal of the Orders in Council, communicated the intelligence to General Dearborn, and proposed a cessation of arms. Expresses were sent from Albany with the result of the conference; one of which it was said was destined to Detroit, to inform General Hull.
The report of the capture of Fort Maiden, by General Hull, is unfounded. It cannot be reduced without cannon; and at the last dates the General's battering train was not in readiness.
The regular troops at Greenbush (from twelve to fifteen hundred) have marched westward, but not to reinforce General Hull.
