By the arrival of the Jubilee in the Clyde, in 21 days from Halifax, we have received Atnerican Pa pers, containing intelligence from Halifax to the llth , from New-York to the 27th, and from Washington to the 19th of Novembeii r From the extracts which we subjoin, it will' be seen that no termination of hostilities is to be expected while Mr. MADISON con tinues in office, and his friends assert, that his re election is secured. They threaten a more 'vigorous and extensive prosecution of the war than ever ; and their misfortunes ih Canada ate ascribed, by inuendo, to the want of zeal and energy in some departments of State, on which certain charges ate to be made. We presume all this alludes to the pacific dispositions or the Federalists' Private letters froth the tnost respectable sources, give the most flattering statement of our military force in Canada, and its capability of resisting any attacks which the Americans may continue to tnake against it► Every effort made against Canada ends ih defeat► The landing made at Kingston, (of which we gave some particulars a few days since) proved an abor tive attempt, the enemy finding the Canadians so well prepared ) they 61 sneaked off to their vessels, and re turned to Sackett's Harbour, where they-were seen going in next morning." At Boston, so late as the 26th of November, it was reported, that 4 1 General HAtuusox's army was perilously situated. It had advanced cansidet ably—the Indians had interrupted its supplies,and it was sufferingfor want ofprovisions." We are sorry to announce the loss of the PLUMPER guu.brig on the Halifax Station. The particulars of this distres s ing event, as communicated in the Ame rican Papers, are subjoined. " Arrived, since our last, his Majesty's schooner Paz, Lieutenant Dumeresque, with the American privateer schconer Revenge, captured just off the harbour. The privateer had taken the brig Bacchus, 'from Scotland for Pictou, and retaken an American schooner taken by the Liverpool packet. Provincial armed schooner Gleaner, from Sidney, &e. •. Sailed, Monday, his Majesty's ship St. Domingo, "sal - Oral Sir J. B.Warren, Captain Gill ; Junon and &vita frigates ) and Wander sloop of war ) with a convoy fot Bermuda. " Letters from St. John, N. B. of the 6th instant, Mention the melancholy loss of his Majesty's brig Plumper, Lieutenant tray, at four o'clock oh the Morning of the 6th instant, cn a ledge of rocks near Dipper Harbour. Of those on board, 42 unfortn hately perished; and among them, all the passengers, and all the Officers, excepting a Mr. Hall. Among the pasiengers were, Dr. and Mrs. Wright, Mr. Cun ningham, and Mr. Crawford, Corn. Department, and a very fine young lad, son of the latter gentlematt. " A letter from Annapolis, of Monday last, says, that a person had just arrived there, mho left East Port a few days before—where it was reported, that the American army, under General Dearbome, had advanced into Canada, and had been completely defeated—allowing the first part of the story to be correct, the latter seems to follow of course. " The American ship Ariadne, of Boston, with a licence, and a cargo of 5000 barrels of flour, for Lis bon, was taken by the United States brig Argus, and sent to Philadelphia. On her return, she swat fallen in with by the Tartarus and Colibri, but making use of die licence and a little finesse, escaped capture. " His Majesty's ship bolus has taken an American privateer schooner, and carried her Into Bermuda." •` WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 9. 44 The cartel ship Friends, Hopkins, days from Portsmouth, England, has arrived at Norfolk. Sailed October I. Saw ho cruizers on the coast. NOVEMEER 17.—1 t is confidently asserted that a correspondence is about to be authorised with Sir J. 13. Warren, and upon principles which, if they should fail of success, will be followed by a war of the most vigorous and unremitting character. "6 That there will be changes in the executive Departments itntnediately subsequent to Mr. Madi reinstallation, no one here has a doubt. Indeed, :he " sins of omission and commission," in certain !epartments connected with the war measures, are so heinous and crying a nature, as to make it •;xrstionable whether the President is not guilty of a , onstit utional violation, in retaining them in office even to this period." " HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, NOV. 18. NATURALIZ.IIION.-111r. LACOCIC from the Corm rnittee appointed on the subject, reported the follow ing Bill : '• A Bill supplementary to the Acts heretofore passed on the subject of an uniform rule of natUrall zation " Be it enacted, &c. That all persons resident in the United States, or the territories thereof, on the Ist. of June, 1812, may be admitted to the right of cittiens of the united gotta, at the times alcl in the manner presttibed by the Acts heretofore passed bn that suhjett, any thing arising Toni or growing out of Otir present stile of *al , with Cheat Britain, Ire:. land and their'dependettlies to the contrary hotwith standing► Pirevided that no alien enemies shall be admitted to the rights of eititenship, who Shall not within hind Months after the !sassing of this Act, maim his applitatitm, and such declaration of his in tention as is required by law: And provided also that nothing herein contained shall be taken or eon :trued to interibte or prevent the apprehension and retnoal, according to laW, of any alieh enemy at any time previous to the actual naturalization of such alien." k 4 The $ ill was twice ttad ) and teferred to a Cote• mittee of the Whole2b 11, NEW IttoßKi NOVEMBER. 2li 44 A letter frum Washington mentions, that the Cothmittee of Foreign Relations are about to report a Bill to prevent American Citizens from accepting British licences, and that the punishment for accept ing them will be death, by hanging► Petion is said to have completely triumphed in Hayti; and the self-created ]mperor, Christophe has been killed by one of his Aids. Thus there is an end to the bryter'ial Government of St. Domingo ) and its sable Dukes, Counts, Marshals, &c.!" LEGISLATORE OF NEW YORIt " BOSTON, NOVEMhtit C 4. gg A Bill, entitled ig an Act to prevent plundering on the lines between the provinces of Canada and this State," was agreed to in Committee bf the whole, and afterwards passed by the House, By this Act, any person, unless acting under the Order of a mili tary officer, plundering within the Canada line, ami bringing the stolen property into this State, is sub ject to indictment for felony in the county where he may be taken. •, " Nov. 26.—Tue MAN AntitY.—The army tinder the Commander-in-Chief, General Dearborn, broke up their camp at Plattsburg on the 16th instant, and marched to Chamlain, on the Canada line, neatest to Montreal. The force is somewhere between 6 and 10,000 men, regulars and militia, Whether they will attempt to cross at once into the British territory, or halt upon the frontiers, is uncertain. In the latter case, however, some partial contests will probably occur.—We know not what force the British have in that neighbourhood. Commodore Chauncey his fitted oh take Ott• tario a brig and hike armed schooners. With this squadron he has attacked the forts at Kingston, and was again before them at the last dates. He has made two prizes (schooners) I one had Captain Brock (nephew to the Ceheral) on board. The British have several vessels of war on the Lake' but perhaps our force is now Superior. " By a Gentleman who has returned from the arrhy tinder General Hopkins, vC are informed that the 2000 mounted volunteers who started some time since from Fort Harrison to go to the Peoria towns, hid mistaken their direction, and returned without effecting the object of the expedition. The mounted volunteers, we are told, are now on their way home. 14 It is said the last accounts left Harrison's army pettiously situated. It had advanced considerably, the Indians had intercepted its supplies, and it was suffering for watt of provisions. a A letter from Washingmn, dated on the 18th instant, says, a the Committee of Ways and Means, which decided on Saturday last, 14 to 9, in favour of the remission of bonds for British goods, where the property was American, are now for referring the subject to the decision of Mr. GALLATIN.° " LICENSE TRALIE.The contemplated law against British Licences to Vessels bound to Cadiz or Lisbon, will not prevent our provisions being exported to those plates, but will throw that carrying trade into hands of foreigners, who will only visit the Southern ports. " It is said the Congressional Naval Committee have agreed to report in favour of three seventy-fours, 10 frigates, and 1.5 or 20 sloops of war. The wise foresee—others are taught by experience. LORD CASTLEREAGH AND MR. RUSSEE.L, eg The National Intelligence:. contains Mr. Russell's account of a conversation With Lord Castlereagh on the 15th of September. The British Minister doubted the sufficiency of the powers of Mr. Russell, eonsider red any arrangement as a substitute for the existing mode of taking English seamen as almost hopeless— remarked on the great sensibility of the people of England on the subject, and observed that great hopes were entertained of the favourable effect at Washington of the intelligence of the revocation of the Orders in Council: Mr. Russell flattered himself that an arrangement was practicable, and contended for the sufficiency of his authority, Mr. Russell then proceeds t 44 I finally catered, in order to answer at once all the observations and enquiries of Lord Castle reagh, that the proposed Understanding should be expressed in the most general tern,—that the laws, to take effect on the discontinuance of the fira:tice of im pressment, should prohibit the employment of the na tive subjects or citizens of the one State, excepting, such only as had already been naturalized on board the private and public ships of the other—thus re moving any objection that might have been raised with regard to the future elect of naturalization, or the formal rentincietion of any pretended right.— With tegatd to blotkadeso I proposed to follow the same course, and only to agree that none shotihi Inatituted by eithei partY ivltieh were btu bonformable Ks the ittimbWiedged haticins-4eaviiig the de fin of :Itch blockades, and all dthei details, td be *settled . by the echnmisliuners in the definitive treaty. I was disappointed and grieved to find that these prbpositiolit, moderate and liberal as they Were, should be treated in a Mann& which forbade me to .expect their acceptance: I was even Asked by Mr. - Hamilton, if the United States would deliver up the native British seamen Vvhd might be naturalized in America ! Although shocked at this demand, i mildly replied that such a procedure would be dis graceful to Atherica without being tiseful to Great Britain—that the habits of Seamen were so peculiarly unaccoMmodating, that no one would go thiough the long probation, required by law, to become the citi zen of a country where he could not pursue his pro fessional occupations—and that not to employ him in this wary would be virtually tb surrendet hitn to Great Britain. 46 I was disposed to believe, however, that a reci procal attangement might be made for giving up desetters from public vessels. Here, perhaps, I owe an hpology to My GovernMent, for having, without its precise commands, hazarded the overture above mentioned, relative to British spbjects who may here after become Citizens of the United States. el In taking this step, howeret, I persuaded myself that I did not trespass against the spirit of the in structions which I had received ; and had the propo sition been accepted, I should not have beer, without all hope that it would have been approved by the President, as its prospective operation would have pterented injustice, and its teciprocity disgrace." RtPORTED DEI'EA'P OV Ot NERAL DEA ItIIORNE, IN CANADA. STAR OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK. We stop the Press to state, that a report has reach ed Town, from the outposts, that the Americans, under General Dammottrze, have been dufeated, in Canada, with immense loss.

Letters, by the Way of Lisbon ; hate been recited from New-Yotk, dated December 2, which mention that the United States frigate, and her prize s the MAcznotitAk s arrived safe at New-York. The general opinion of the People, up to the 17th November, from the different States, were of a pacific nature, but since the arrival of Mt. RUSSELL, they art materially altered. The three Mails brought from Lisbon by the Duke of Kent and MarlbOrough packets, reached the Fo reign Post Office this 'horning.

Her Royal Highness's Tradesmen dined together at the Thatched House Tavern; and in the evening their houses were illuminated.

Flaes.---Yesterday morning early a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Coates, linen-draper, in Ald gate High -street, which consumed the same, toge ther with the furniture and stock in trade, and greatly damaged some back premises. We are concerned to add s that it was very generally reported in the neigh bourhood that a servant maid perished in the flames. A fire broke out late on Wednesday night in the premises of a biscuit-baker, at King Edward-stairs, Wapping, by which the premises were levelled to the ground in about an hour. The inhabitants had scarce time enough to escape with their lives.

On Wednesday the Court proceeded to the trial of the three murde rers of Mr. Horisrat.L. They attempted to prove an alibi, in which they failed ; and were all found guilty.
