A letter from Detroit to a gentleman in Schenectady, mentions the death of the noted partizan, Col. Joseph Brant, chief sachem and head warrior of the Mohawk tribe of Indians. He is said to have been on his way from Niagara to the Ohio, at the head of 60 warriors of the Six Nations, in order to hold a council with the southern Indians, and to have fallen in a rencontre with Gen. Clarke. The death of this Chief will, no doubt greatly damp that spirit for war, which has lately prevailed throughout the Indian country.
