Freeman's Chronicle

St. Louis, August 22.--On the 8th, inst. the Indians made a dash into the frontier of St. Charles and captured a few horses, a detachment of the Rangers and the St. Louis troop, pursued the trail 70 miles to the Mississippi, but arrived too late to punish the invaders; the savages had just landed among the willows on an island and were fired at by our troops, but too far to do execution, four of the detachment swam to the island and brought back the horses--the Indians had fled to the opposite side of the Main Poc, the Pottowatomie chief, now in the service of the British, sent a wampum to the Indian forces collected on the Illinois river, requesting them to come on to Malden, that his British father has had two battles with the Americans and were successful. &c. They returned for answer, that they expected every day to be attacked by the Americans and must defend their villages.
