Sta-4ereral Editors of American Newspapers having taken occasion, from the recent meetings of the People fn Upper Canada to petition his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT for a redress of griev- . ances, to express their opinions that the lnhabitants of that Colony were anxious to become independent of Great Britain, and to join the Confederacy of the United States—and certain sapieat Writers in our own country having strongly recommended the sale or surrender of our Canadian Provinces to that Power—l send you an original letter of an American Major (M.FAntaxo), who was killed at the Battle of Lundy's Lane on the evening of its date, which pays a high compliment to the loyalty of the inhabi tants of the Niagara District, and which. being the testimony of an enemy, is the more entitled to belief. The letter was found in the crown of Major WPAR• LAND'S hat the morning after the battle.—That an American Editor should slander the inhabitants of a loyal Province, is not surprising; but that the Editor of a British Newspaper should Be found base enough to recommend the sale or abandonment of his fallow subjects to a Foreign Power, is a disgrace to the country.—l may probably at a future period trouble you with some explanation of the existing misunder standing between the Provincial Government and People of that Country. CAVADIENSIS. MY OW A LETTER FROM MAJOR seriLaLANn, 23D V. D. REGIMENT, TO HIS TAMED AIME Se FARLAND, ESQ. WASIILNGTON COUNTY, rx.ss- SYLVANIA. • " Camp, at Chippawa River, July 25. " De an Forum—l have delayed writing for some days, in the expectation of having something of moment to communi cate. In this, however, my anticipations have failed me in part. On the 10th inst. we left Queenstown for Fort George, and We encompassed the place, and besieged it all on one side ; and on the 23d inst. we took a little wit in our anger, and came off, thanks to our prudence, indeed it was a very humane measure in my opinion. " To besiege a place that would require 6000 men, with a large battering train of artillery, with only •** men, with three 1111 and five 6-pounders, is temerity without a stint. We left Queenstown yesterday ; we are not retreating, but retrograding is the noise. " The fact is. that we leave this country soon, or his Majesty will have us in his holy keeping. Our spirits are unbroken—we will fight one.f o urth more than our number, and thank Gou for the opportunity. We can do ever: thing but supply the place of l numbers, and the want of means-Lthis our country must answer' for. Our prospects are gloomy ; to look at the population and resources of the Unite,i States, and then figure all its exertions into an army of some ••• men only. I sAy, let us be invaded with 100,5100 men, we deserve it. The ashes of Washington of Mercer, of Montgomery, &c. &c. ought to be dug up and re moved, for they are not nurtured by the fire of freedom here— the holy flame of Patriotism is gone. " The time will come, and now is,' when it will be necessary for every man to defend, himself. We may laugh and sneer, but should our affairs go on as tardily as usual, when the cum bersome and now useless load of European cut-throats shall ar rive, you will all have to put your hands to the plough. I do not charge the Government—they have given sufficient encourage ment, but the people want rousing--to those whose fate will sitkixt them to the calamities of war, 'shall shed a tear of regret, because F have daily witnesses of Is effects. But for my country I cannot . mourn. We must be superior to every thing but our duty.— The Militia • awl Indians hare plundered and burned every thing ere the whole population is against as, not a foraging party bin is fired upon, and not uttfrequently they return with lessened numbers. " This state was to be anticipated.—The Indians were sent off some days since, as they were found useless, except to plunder. The militia haveburned several private dwelling houses; and on the welt inst. burnt the village of St. Davits, consisting of *bout thirty or Arty houses: this was done within three miles ,fcamp, and my bat talion was sent to cover their retreat, as they were sent to scour the country of some Indians and Rangers, and it was presumed they might be pressed.—My Gon, what a service ! I never wit nessed such a scene, and had not the Cnnmanding o.fficer of the party, Lieutenant Colonel Slone, been degraded and sett out .1 the army, I should have handed in my Sheepskin. f Where our next move will be I cannot tell, but resume it will leave us on our own shore. " Advices from General Izard state his retreat some twelve miles into the interior ;we shall go next—reinforcements have certainly arrived of very considerable magnitude. " Fighting has become a daily duty, and we cannot go o modest distance from camp to attend the calls of nature, but some lurking enemy lets drive the unerring rife ball, whose company is not, by any means, agreeable at such a moment. You have seen the account of General Swift's death. I have lost several men in our skirmishing parties. I enjoy good health. The army is ' becoming somewhat feeble with the diarrhea. " I have received but one letter from you since I left home. The report of the day is, that General Drummond has landed 4000 troops near Fort George ; if so, we must bow our heads coolly and dispasionately—cut dirt t as fast as pos,ible, or we may at least show the red coats our seat of honour. This report however is entitled to no credit, in my opinion ; of this a few days will decide. " I suppose you are engaged cutting your harvest, reading newspapers on rainy days, smoking your pipe, talking to mother of the war, taking a grog of Pennsylvania whiskey, with your neighbours, he. he. all very good, as well employed as I am— " Your Son, " D. M‘rAILLAND." • i. r. The American Militia and Indians. '• A cant word in the American Army for a Parchment mmission. I A cant word for entrenching. The PRINCE REGENT will not return to Carlton House immediately. His Royal Highness intends in a few days to visit the Marquis of HERTFORD, at Itagley Hall, and the Marquis of ANGLESEA, at Beau desert. Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD left the Stud House on Saturday, at noon, to make preparations for bis Royal Highness's reception at Oxford, to which place the PRINCE proceeds this day or tomorrow. - Last week, a young Lady, who resides at a certain Lodge, near Middleham, ran away with an Anabap tist Preacher. As soon as the circumstance was known to her friends, the fugitives were pursued and taken near Richmond, and the fair one is now safe at hpme. The son of a Noble Duke, who has several times run away from his family, again eloped, and was again re-taken a few days ago at Liverpool, wretch edly dressed, and about to be sworn in as a recruit. On the Officer giving as a reason for securing him " that he was not in perfect mind," his Lordship re plied—" Have not I enough to make me mad ? I am not suffered to associate with my family or my friends. lam not suffered to move without a spy upon my slightest actions. I am treated like a child, or an ideot, on all occasions ; and if this will not drive one mad, I don't know what will."—The young gentleman is six feet two inches high. The King of FRANCE has recently issued an ordi nance, which enjoins a new kind of playing cards, the figures on which are taken from French history.

On Tuesday and Wednesday last, Time Cups were run for each day on South Down Meadow, and altordcd much sport to the numerous company assembled. BONING. MOLT AND CYDONNEL.—To make up the deficiency of the sports at Canterbury Races, the second match between these milling heroes of light weight, was fought on a line of Common about two miles from Barham Downs, on Friday, the last day of the Races, for a subscription purse of 95 guineas. Holt beat O'Donnel on Twickenham Common some time ago. An Honourable was the patron of the day, while Oliver, Purcell, Reynolds, Randal, West-country Dick, regulated the Cmnmissarylepirtment. Randal and Dick seconded O'Donnel, and Purcell and Grin ley seconded Holt. The lion. Baronet held the watch, and his motions were to the keep the men at work ; and they were scarcely down, but he limed them up again. THE BATTLE.—It was a very scientific combat cf 55 minutes, and a punishing one too. Round I. After exchanging and parrying hits, O'DonnA was knocked down. . 2. Holt chewed most science, and less regard at being bit. O'Donnel parried his left hand, and returned with a good body hit; and, in a close, both went down. It was nearly equal fighting for twelve rounds, each alternately haring their p e as ; but, when in, they fought wish much earnest ness, and left but little time for thinking. Ilolt, however, out fought his adversary in these rounds, and seemed to be reducing victory to a certainty. 1:1. O'Donnel turned the fight, by getting decidedly the best of this round. Ile knobbed his adversary well, and !loured hint, by a smart tye-up at the fourth button-hole. 14th. 13th, and Itith Rounds. O'Donnel continued to lead; but he had out-fought himself, and Ilolt recovering, took the lead in the 16th round. There was some good fighting after wards, but O'Donnel was shy, and the knuckles of his right hand were dislocated. Fir several rounds preceding the 7,2(1, Holt treated him jocosely, and kept urging him to hit. The :a'3d round took the cAirrup out of Holt, as O'Donnel, whose only chance was to hurt him by throwing, succeeded in a cross-buttock, which' stunned him, and Ilolt fought five rounds after, and then gave in. They are equal weights and heights, and to use a cant expression on the ground, "change their clothes, and their wives would not know them," they were so much disfigured. Mr. LOFTUS has sold the famous horse Bucephalasi to go abroad.

LICIIITZLD J IIL PELIV'RRY, ALTUS,' John Saddler and ()dere in answer to an indict meet for a nuisance in Bu ll-baiting —Mr. PA 'MEI solicitor, was heard in defence of the parties ; ant contended- that bull-baiting was a legal diversion. — The High Steward read the indictment, and he! that that or any other obstruction on the high wa! was illegal.- Mr. PIRA KilON was heard on the part the prosecution, and detailed the particulars of 6. case, remarking On the peculiar inhumanity of the parties. The bull fell and broke his back ; and Libe parties applied fire, amid the yells of the populace to rouse his dying energies. Mr. Peaison then en• larged particularly on the bad effect of such custom. on the mind of the youth of the lower orders of so ciety. He then went to shew the nature of the nu sauce. Had the bull not disabled himself, in thi breaking of the chain, he would have gone on in thi public toad, to the imminent danger of all persoi passing thereon. He then remarked on the late c. at Bilston, where a man was tramp led ken to death frot a similar result. Evidence was heard on tit , .part of the prosecution. )!r. Benton deposed to the particulars of the ct . against the defendants ; and as constable, to warni Saddler to put an end to the sport; and that Seidl said if they would take away the bull-baiting fro the Hems at Brentwood, he would stop it at Hobse, .but not without. Mr.. PA RIC ta asked a few questions in cross-exams nation, which went to prove that deponent did see Mr. Saddler in. the field, but that he saw Asti .did others cf the party. The Steward asked au the circumstance of the deponent going as conct al and warning Saddler to desist from batting the ht. and as to Saddler personally assisting or not in get tin out the bull from his premises. Mr. Prickett deposed to seeing the bull taken ft Saddler's premises into the field, 'across the road might be a minute in going across. The ST E.WA RD thought this was not sufficient prove a nuisance—there being no evidence of passen. gers ; and directed the .Jury to acquit the prisoners. lie availed himself however of the opportunit7 stating his opinion that the custom of bull-bait was an inhuman and scandalous practice. He probated the idea of such a custom conferring very or manliness of character on Englishmen, 'rusted that it would never be renewed in so Thtened a city. LANCASTER ASSIZES, AUGUST lA.
