Saturday evening his Excellency Governor Clinton, accompanied by Col. Fish, Adjutant General, and Col. Willett, returned to this city from the Northward. On Tuesday 6th his Excellency had an interview with General Lincoln at New-Lebanon, with whom he afterwards went to Pittsfield (Massachusetts) in order to concert measures for the immediate suppression of the insurgents, should any again dare to assemble in arms. In consequence of the Governor's appearance, the magistrates and military officers of the country held themselves in readiness to take the most active part therein; but happily no occasion offered for their exertion, as there was not (nor is there at present) the smallest appearance of disaffection in any of the inhabitants there, although from the injurious reports in circulation respecting them, many were led to imagine, that several there were strongly inclined to countenance and support the insurgents immediately on their first appearance. The fact is, that the people there did not conceive it their duty to take any part on the occasion, until they should be made acquainted with the sense of government; which was no sooner communicated to them by his Excellency's proclamation, than they unanimously shewed the utmost readiness to perform their duty to every extent of their ability, in conformity to the articles of confederation. In consequence of this general decision, the abandoned, disappointed wretches, who had vainly flattered themselves with hopes of protection and succour, dispersed, and embraced every opportunity of escape from a state to which they had offered this audacious insult; nor is there, at this instant, a man of them to be seen in arms within the confines of our territory.
