Full Text

We have no further certain information on the subject of the detachment sent off from General Harrison's army for the purpose of attempting the destruction of the British shipping at Malden, which marched, we believe, on the 25th ult. A report has reached the city in a letter from Buffalo, dated the 6th of March, of an express having brought information that General Harrison had retaken Detroit. We are inclined to disbelieve it, because we have never understood it to be his object at present to go there, and because it was not in the line of his operations at Malden, as we understand them.
