Fort M'Arthtjr, a small post, 42 miles northerly from Urbana, on the road from thence to fort Meigs. Fort Meigs, a noted military fortification erected in the winter of 1812-13, on the southeastern bank of tho Maumee river, at the lower rapids of that river, a few* FOR 33 miles from its mouth. Distance, southerly from Detroit, 70 miles, and northwesterly from fort Stephenson, 36 miles. It... is of an oblong figure, and when first comple- ted, enclosed an area of about 11 acres. The wall con- sists of stout paliisadocs, 14 feet high, sunk 4 feet into the ground, with steep embankments of earth on each side, taken from a broad interior ditch, and a deep exte- rior moat. At suitable distances, are regular bastions mounted with artillery. This post is remarkable for a siege, which it sustained from the British and Indians, in April, 1813, until the 5th of May following, when the garrison together with a reinforcement from Kentucky made a valiant sortie, driving their enemies in every di- rection, and compelling them to raise the siege.
