NEW YORK. April 9.

We can acquaint our Readers, from undeniable Authority, with some more Particulars respecting the Indian War.

Capt. Bull, with his Party of 13 Men, was escorted from the German Flats, by a Guard of Provincials. Bull's Second, remains wounded at Aughquaga, under the Care of the Indians there, to whom Sir William Johnson has given five Prisoners, on Account of their good Behaviour: He has also distributed the rest amongst the Friendly Nations; putting them in the Places of their deceased Relations, which is an Indian Custom they always expect will be followed.

Capt Bull, with his party, resided at Kanadesio: the Indians of which Village have been all along in Arms. He made large Offers of delivering up many English Prisoners, on his being set at Liberty.

Sir William Johnson, since the Prisoners were brought to him has received Advice of the Success of a Party of 10 Friend Indians, falling in with a Party of 20 Delawares last Month on the Frontiers of Pennsylvania, directing their Course against some Settlements, and singing their WAR SONGS; upon which the Friend Indians attacked them, killed the Head of the Party, and took 3 Prisoners, who, with the Scalps were hourly expected at Sir William's. This is a lucky Circumstance, the Indians being once engaged in Blood, must carry on the War with greater Alacrity, as the rest will never forgive them, nor will they probably Stop till they have destroyed these troublesome People who have annoyed all the northern Frontiers both last War, and since. Our Enemies are said to be greatly alarmed; and many of them has retired through Fear, beyond Sioto River near the lower Shawanese Town. Several Parties are prepared to follow them, as well as to go against the Rest; one of which Parties is to be headed by John Johnson, Esq: Sir William's Son.

There were on the 23d ult. at Sir William's, above 400 Indians and some Deputies sent from the Chenussias, and other Seneca Castles, to make Offers of Peace, as they apprehend great Danger from the several Bodies of Friend Indians now upon Service. The Friend Senecas of Canadasago, who have delivered up to Sir William, one Edward Kennedy, of Lieut. Grant's Platoon; who was taken by the Outawas, after rambling in the Woods some Time he fell in with the above-mentioned Indian Town.
