TEURSDAy THE DRAWNWHOLE LOTTERY WILL BE . !IMPORTANT INTE RICA. LLIGENCE FROM AME fly the ship Harmony, which has arrived at Lon ionderry, from New York, we have received Ameri can I'apers to the 19th ult. The intelligence they contain is highly iniportant, and as our Readers will perceive, rather of a warlike tendency. The disco very of 2 pretended plot has been announced, the ob•• feet of whicl. was to effect a separation of the union between the Northern and Southern States in America. Great Britain, by means of a secret agent, (a toi bant Captain Hp: ay) is represented as the instigator o f this mischief ; and letters purporting to be.signed by Lord LIVERPOOL and Sir horn CRAIG, have been procured from HENRY, disclosing the whole transac tion. We are much inclined to doubt the genuine cress of all these documents, and our Readers will see that our intelligent Washington Correspondent has bis doubts also as to their authenticity : id WASHINGTON, MARCH 9, 1812. The following is a copy of a Message sent by the President, this day, tt, both Houses of Congress: a TO TILE SENATE AND WOLISE OF REPRIENTA LIVES OF THE UNITED STATES. " I lay before Congress copies of certain docu ments which remain in the Department of State.— They prove, that at a recent period, whilst the United States, notwithstanding the wrongs sustained by them, ceased not to observe the laws cf peace and wurality towards Great Britain, - and in the midst of amicable professions and negociations on theyart of the British Government, through its public Mini ster here, secret agent of that Government was emrloyed in certain States, more especially at the seat of Government, in Massachusett's, in fomenting disaffection to the ccnstituted Authorities of the Na tion, aCd in Intrigues with the disaffected, for the purpose of bringing about resistance , to the laws, and eventually, in concert with' a British force, of destroying the Union, and fotming Gie eastern part thereof into a political connexion with Great Britain. 4. 'ln addition to the effect Tibia the discovery of such a procedure ought to have on the public coun cils, it will not fall to render more dear to the hearts of all good citizens that happy union of these States, which, under DIVINE PILOVIDENCE, is the guarantee of our liberties, their safety, their tranquillity, and their prosferity. (Signed) 44 JAM= MADISON. " Narch 9th, 1812." 46 This message was accompanied with the docu- Monts on which it was founded. . I have not perused tbe documents, but understand they contain the cor lespondence of the Elia of Livispoor. and Sir JAMES Onto, late Governor of Canad 4, with a certain Captain ions Hestia, who is the secret agent spoken di and who has himself made the disclosure to the Government, and given them the documents, aUedg ing as the reason, that the-British Government had refused to give him his reward. - " The message has Produced considerable sensa- tion in Congress, - and will probably strengthen the war party in and oat of Congress. It is believed by some that.HatutY iv endeavouringito impose cn 'Jo vernthent for some sinister purpose. This, if true, say be difficult to prpve ; and the imposing and po sitive. manner in which the message is sent to Con gress will have a powerful effect in inflaming the public mind. It had been deter mined, I understand, by a zha- jority in the House; to suspet:a the further proceed. ill on the taw until the arrival of the Hornet.— This was done, it is believed, to secure the concur rence of several Members, who agreed, that it the Hornet did :::A bring out a repeal of the Orders in Ccuncil, they would immediately unite in voting the taxes, and declaring war. ." Such, I am told, had became the state of things in the Haute, when the President's Message and the accompanying documents were received—what effect these may produce in relation to our war measures, a few days will probably disclOse. " We have given the above news, as its apparent importance requires, but we doubt the intelligence, sad suspect its accuracy."

'1 he transports with these and the detach ments embarked the two preceding days, viz. for the 19th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Light Dragoons, are to sail immediately. This reinforcement will prove highly accelptable: the men are all fine young fel lows, their equipments are in the first stile, and their horses in 1-.;gli cond,tion. Two hundred of the Oth Regiment of Light Dra goons embarked at the dock-yard, Plymouth, on Wednesday morning, for the Peninsula. Generals Hol.E,Tasox, ANSON. and LE Cot:- TEurt have gone Out to Portirgal to relieve the vete ran Generals BSRTHWICK, REMIss, and BORNE. The Honourable General COLE immediately sets out to his station, his division is tar the present commant4l by the Hon. Maj..r-General CHARLts COLVILLE. To the joy of the army in Poi tugal, the Honourable Ge neral PACKENIIAM is immediately to return to them, that distinguished post, the command of the Light Division, is reserved for him. It will be remembered that this was the division of the army which the much' to be lamented and brave CRAWFORD had : 'it is at present commanded by Colonel BARNARD. Daring the whole of-the contest in the Peninsula, no regiment has perhaps suffered more, or seen more real active service, than the gallant 43th. At TAU' vera this regiment, single handed, lad the merit of deciding the fate of the day by a steady and intrepid charge with the bayonet—indeed, such was the cha racter acquired, by the heroes of the 48th on that oc casion, that they. have-had the honour of being par ticularly called upon to stand the brunt of almost every action which has been fought since. At the battle of Busaco, they were, as usual, fort-most on the heights ; and at Albuera they repeatedlycharged and put to flight several columns of French infantry, which were pushed forward upon them in succession. Our Readefs may judge of the nature of their services on that occasion, when they are icformed, that ont of 4.23 rank and file, of which the 2d battalion consisted on l!le morning of the •battle, only 27 were able to stand on their legs at ale termination of the engage. ment. They were led into action on that occasionby Major Ws:. BROOKE, who may be considered as the fa ther of the regiment, having served in it 34 years in various parts bf the world. He was engaged at the ,taking of many of the West-India Islands, and of ' Malta.—At the Battle of Albuera this gallant veteran fell, coverc wi.h dangerous wounds, into the hands of the enemy, and subsequently most miraculously made his escape from the prison of the Inquisition at Seville. He has now to deplore amid the illness arising from his wounds, which now bleed afresh, the loss of his two sons, the only props of his declining years, both of them Officers in the same regiment : the eldest, Captain W. H.- Bitoocc, was in the 24th year of his age, when he fell in the breach at Ba dajoa, on the night of the sth, This gallant and pro niising riff% man was truly an iinfrnt de la Glam. 'His military services commenced at the arduous blockade and capture of Malta, in 1800, when he was not more than 13 years of age ; at Talavera, Bu• sitco, and Ciudad Rodrigo, besides numerous other minor, but not less dangerous enterprises Captain r ilitomcz was personallf engaged, and conducted him self with that intrepidity and skill, for which he was I distinguished, to trie last moment of his glorious ca- Lreer. His brother, Lieutenant Sous Bnoone, who there is too much reason to fear has been wounded mortally, Also commanded a Company of the 48th on the memorable night of the sth. He is not more than twenty-one years of age, and, like his lamented brother, has fought at the battles of Talaveia, Bu saco, Albuera and Ciudad Rodrigo, having entered the army as a isrotegi Of his brave father as soon as he was able to carry the colours of the regiment. Many and arduous as the acts of gallantry dune by our countrymen on sea, and lately on shore, have been, nothing that has yet been done exceeds the L storming of fort Pieurina; few of them, we believe come up to it. The party of men were almost all liishmen, and led by Irishmen ; that on the right lay captain OATRS, of the Cdbnaught Rangers, the Mats al's own regiment; and that on the left by Captain Powis, 83d. The Earl of WELLicovoN, the Engineers, and all were istonished at the strenktth of the place, when they went' into it the day after it was taken ; and, it is said, that had they really known the 4tUal strength of it, they would not have at- . . i •,. tenipted it i and what is more Woodatfal, Air all, . kiktAL IlitiliptetAteit we likewise found that this v ery strdiig place was _ previously defended by the same number of men, PLYl l .leltthi, &Path f. 2. 300, as we had in attacking, and they Seet4 men pieked by General Psubterow from the garrison ofl VeSterdaY arrived the Yet/or cone+ from Porti2 bidajoz.
