The latest intelligence from the army is by letters dated Cincinnati, March 6th. The Indian flag, White-eyes, &c. had given reason to expect 30 chiefs, to treat, with all the prisoners amongst them, to be with Gen. Wayne by the 14th of February. The General in order to give them a good impression of our force, was at the expense of bringing the cavalry from Kentucky, where they were wintering. But no Indians had appeared. It is most probable the British discovering their intention, have had a talk, and have removed their dissatisfaction, and encouraged them to continue war.
General Wayne had prepared to march to Au Glaize river, where there were said to be 200 Indians collected. The Miami towns were deserted, so that it was unnecessary to pursue the same route which General St. Clair had intended.
