A serious affair has lately happened at Detroit . The following are the particulars of it as received by a gentleman at Washington . A soldier deserted the British line and took refuge in Detroit . He was pursued into the American territory by two British officers, with a file of men, but was protected by the magistrates, who can only surrender in cases of murder and forgery. The British thereon endeavored by force to carry him back, when an affray took place between them and the inhabitants, in which one of the British officers, a Mr. Muir, was shot through the leg, after whey they retreated, leaving the deserter at Detroit . The British officers were each bound to appear and take their trials at the Detroit May Court, under a given security of 1000 dollars each. (Contributed by Nancy Piper>
