Since writinc this letter three i.f nnr mill tia have deserted, one Frenchman and two half Indians. It is believed they have taken oft' with them 10 or II horses, and gone to- wards iviuiewaKce.

JUNE 6. On Wednesday last, Gov. Howard set out to St. Charles, to send out a company in piace oi ine inree months rangers, until capt Bonne can raise his comnanv fur 12 month. Capt.

Callaway marched on the next day at 6 ciock a. (vi. at tne nead ot an elegant com. Jiany for the frontier. After the governor eft St.

Charles for this place, he received a letter by express from lieutenant Camp, bell, commanding at Fort Mason dated the 2d inst. stating that he had been informed by a man who could be relied on, of two parties of Indians on the Mississippi, not far above the fort it was believed that Fort Maso was their objrft the governor re. turned to the town of St. Charles and sent additional instructions to capt. Callaway some other arrangements are making, the details of which we cannot give at present.

A third party of Indians wan discovered a few days since, below Fori Mason captain Boone is now in pursuit of them with a part of his company, who volunteered after a service of three months of the roost arduous kind. We expect hourly to hear from him, the term of service of the rangers expired on the 3d inst. The company to be command, ed by capt. Boone for 12 months, assembled at St. Charles on the 18th inst.

It hoped that before that tine enough will join to make a full company. rRAXKFORT, 10. Extract of a letter from a volunteer from this place, to col. Jnhn Allen. VINCENNES.
