On the return of the embassy, active moasures were at length adopted by Virginia. Capt. Trent was gent out with a hundred men to build the fort al-rl nlanned bvthe "Ohio Company." on the Ohio, just below the "Forks" or junction of the Mouon- eahela with the main stream, anu naHuiugiu.i a a f11Ar commissioned to raise an aduitiouai iorce aim on to maintain the post.

But he had barely reached Wills Creek (now Cumberland) on the Potomac, when Trent's working party camo in with tidings of the capture of their unfinished fort by the French. The enemy, nearly a thousand strong, had dropped down the river from Venango in boats, and appeared before tbe fort on Arril 17th (1754) where only forty-one men wero at work, commanded by an Ensign in the absence of both tho captain and lieutenant of the company. Of course the post was surrendered at once; but tho little garrison was allowed to retire to the settlements. The French now built and garrisoned a fort exactly nt the Forks," and gave it noma tif Furl Vuiutme. It is worthy of remark that their experienced engineers selected the very a .1 .1 site which AVaHiiingtou haUvicwcu ana recommenuuu when he passed that punt on his way to L.e uu-ui, though the Ohio Company, we believe, had actually chosen one about two miles farther down.

The fort thus established by the French soon became a famous point in the military history of tho colonies. Washington's littlo force of three small companies, forming the advance of a larger force under Col. Fry, now pushed forward into tho wilderness to recover the fort. On tho of May, Washington himself, with about forty whites and a few Indians fell in with a French scouting parly of nearly equal force, headed by a young offieer named Jnmonvillo, and a fight ensued, remarkable as being the first combat of the war which ended in depriving France of near ly the wholo of her American possessions in fact It took i.laco before war bad actually been declared- Jumonville and ten of his men were killed, and all the rest taken prisoners except one, who escaped to Fort Diiquesne with the news. Wai-hingtou had one man killed and three wounded.

Fort Duquesne continued to be the terror and scourge of the frontier, a poiut from whence marauding expeditions ravaged the settlements, and to which they retreated when strongly opposed until 1768, when a strong expedition consisting of some six thousand inou headed by General Forbes, was organized for its capture. Tho army assembled at i i.i?.....l Tan nu vl vn rniL n.rw1 fYnm ivaysiowu now uvuiuiuj thence undertook, very much against the wishes of Washington, to open a new road to rort uuquesne, instead of marching by the one opened by Braddock three years before.

The procoss of road making proved so slow, and tho expedition was in various ways so beset by delays, that the fifth of November found the army still fifty miles from their destination, at a pluce called Loyallmnna, with a rugged wilderness yet to traverse, nnd winter tlose at hand. In the meantime, during the month of September, the massacre of Braddock's field had been re-enacted ou a smaller scale. Col. Bouquet, commanding tho advance of the army, had detached Col. Grant, with eight hundred Highlanders and Virginians, to reconnoitre tho vicinity of Fort Duquesne, and ascertain the numbers and position of the enemy.

Grant took pains to parade his men within full view of tho garrison, and beat his drtrins to invite the enemy out. The iuvitation was accepted with rather unpleasant readiucss, for by a sudden sally of tho garrison and their savage allies, Grant was totally routed with the slaughter of ono third of his whole force, and he himself wns taken prisoner. The appearance of thiniM at Loyalhanu i was so unpropitious that the expedition was about to bo givtiaup for that year, when three prisoners were captured, whose account of the weakness of the garrison determined the army to push on by a rapid march, without tents or heavy hs2g't to ieethe post. The garrison of (he frt did not exceed five hundred men, their proviniotis were exhausted, and tbe fall of Fort Fronleuac, at tower end of Lake Ontario, had left them with- l.nna of reinforcement or sui'idies from Canada. The commander ihercfure only waited until the Funlisli were within a diy'e march, when he fire lo the fort, blew up the msgnine.

Some skirmishing between the soldiers and Indians at Fort Defiance. Lieutenant Averill was wounded by the Indians firing into the tent while encamped between Fort Defiance and Albu-querque. Wound not regarded as danger-ous. Doctor Kavenagh, arrived at Santa Fe, reports having traveled up the South Platte seventy-five miles and found gold all the way up, and thence to Medicine Uow Creek, finding gold in every stream. The best dig-gings were on the North side of the dividing ridge between the Arkansas and South Platte.

In ravines four dollars a pan was taken out in some instances. Don Josu Chavish, one of tho richest men in New Mexico, died on tho thirteenth of October. Washington, Nov. 21.

Don't understand this. Ku. After making a cruise up the coast the ollicers of tho Dale expected that vessel would return to tho United States.
