By a northern paper just come to hand, we are informed there
is very great reason to apprehend an attack from the
Caghnawaga tribe of Indians-- . . . That on Sunday the ninth
of July a trumpeter was sent to the provincial camp, who was
conducted blind-folded, with a letter from General Burgoyne
to General Lee, lamenting their acting in opposition to each
other, and desiring a conference with him, and that General
Lee had declined the proposal.-- That this letter had been
transmitted to the Congress, that they might direct such
steps to be taken as they should think fit.
. . . [13 lines on other political and military news]
