We have the most authentic advice from the northern frontiers of this state, that the British are determined to keep possession of the posts in that quarter; and as a proof of such serious determination, they have lately reinforced the garrison at Oswego with two companies from Niagara, and arbitrarily sent back a number of persons, subjects of the United States, who were on their route to the Indian country for the purposes of trade.

This conduct must naturally suggest to the states, the absolute necessity of taking effectual measures to enforce our inveterate foes, to comply with their national contract, and to chastise their arrogance and presumption.
