NO. II. _Correspondence between General_ Wayne _and Major_ Campbell. (I) Miamis River, Aug. 21, 1794. Sir, An army of the United States of America, said to be under your command, having taken post on the banks of the Miamis, for upwards of the last twenty-four hours, almost within the reach of the guns of this fort, being a post belonging to His Majesty the King of Great Britain, occupied by His Majesty's troops, and which I have the honor to command, it becomes me to inform myself, as speedily as possible, in what light I am to view your making such near approaches to this garrison. I have no hesitation on my part to say that I know of no war existing between Great Britain and America. I have the honor to be, &c. WILLIAM CAMPBELL, Major 24th Reg't commanding a British post on the banks of the Miamis. To Major General Wayne, &c. &c. (II) Camp on the Banks of the Miamis, } 21st August, 1794. } Sir, I have received your letter of this date, requiring from me the motives which have moved the army under my command to the position they at present occupy, far within the acknowledged jurisdiction of the United States of America. Without questioning the authority, or the propriety, sir, of your interrogatory, I think I may, without breach of decorum, observe to you, that were you intitled to an answer, the most full and satisfactory one was announced to you from the muzzles of my small arms yesterday morning in the action against hordes of savages in the vicinity of your post, which terminated gloriously to the American arms. But had it continued until the Indians, &c. were driven under the influence of the post and guns you mention, they would not have much impeded the progress of the victorious army under my command; as no such post was established at the commencement of the present war between the Indians and the United States. I have the honor to be, sir, &c. (Signed) ANTHONY WAYNE, Major General and Commander in Chief of the Federal army. To Major Wm. Campbell, &c. (III) Fort Miamis, Aug. 22, 1791. Sir,
