The faith of the British government has never yet been violated--the Indians feel that the soil they inherit is to them and their posterity protected from the base arts so frequently devised to over-reach their simplicity.

By what new principle are they to be prohibited from defending their property?
If their warfare, from being different to that of the white people, be more terrific to the enemy, let him retrace his steps--- they seek him not--and cannot expect to find women and children in an invading army.

But they are men, and have equal rights with all other men to defend themselves and their property when invaded, more especially when they find in the enemy's camp a ferocious and mortal foe, using the same warfare which the American commander affects to reprobate.
This inconsistent and unjustifiable threat of refusing quarter, for such a cause as being found in arms with a brother sufferer, in defence of invaded rights, must be exercised with the certain assurance of retaliation, not only in the limited operations of war in this part of the king's dominions, but in every quarter of the globe; for the national character of Britain is not less distinguished for humanity than strict retributive justice, which will consider the execution of this inhuman threat as deliberate murder, for which every subject of the offending power must make expiation.
ISAAC BROCK, Major-Gen, and President.
Head Quarters, Fort George, July 22, 1812.
By order of his honor the president.

_Major-General Brock to Sir George Prevost_.
FORT GEORGE, July 20, 1812.
My last to your excellency was dated the 12th instant, since which nothing extraordinary has occurred on this communication.

The enemy has evidently diminished his force, and appears to have no intention of making an immediate attack.
I have herewith the honor of enclosing the copy of two letters which I have received from Lieut.-Colonel St.George, together with some interesting documents found on board a schooner, which the boats of the Hunter captured on her voyage from the Miami to Detroit.
From the accompanying official correspondence between General Hull and the secretary at war, it appears that the collected force which has arrived at Detroit amounts to about 2,000 men.
I have requested Colonel Proctor to proceed to Amherstburg, and ascertain accurately the state of things in that quarter.
I had every inclination to go there myself, but the meeting of the legislature on the 27th instant renders it impossible.
I receive this moment a dispatch dated the 15th instant, from Lieut.-Colonel St.George, giving an account of the enemy having landed on the 12th and immediately after occupied the village of Sandwich.
