FRANKFORT, January 8. General Winlock, who commands the detachment of militia, now on duty at the Falls of Ohio, has arrested Messrs. Thomas M. Winn and Samuel N. Luckett, both of Jefferson county, on suspicion of being concerned in colonel Burr's expedition. Four boats which they were preparing to send off, have been detained, and themselves bound in a recognizance by judge Ormsby, to appear at the next circuit court, the former in the sum of $5000 dollars, and the latter in $10,000 dollars. Another boat, found on the Indiana side of the Ohio, and supposed to belong to Davis Floyd, has also been detained. General Winlock repaired to Louisville on the 26th ultimo, and positively asserts that no boats or other craft have passed the Falls since that time without examination. Captain Samuel Philips, of Jefferson county, informs the general that he passed col. Burr on the 31st ult. at an encampment near the mouth of Cumberland river, where it is conjectured he is endeavoring to collect his troops and provisions. The above information was communicated to the governor by express, the evening before last.

It is reported that col. Burr has three or four hundred men assembled at his encampment. If the latter should be true, his whole force at that place colonel Ramsey, of Livingston county, is authorised by the executive to call out eight companies of militia, which will give a good account of him. Col. R. it is expected would be ready to act by the 2d inst.
