Lieutenant Geuer4l Drummond offers his since rest and w tpr -st . thanks to the troops and militia en- gaged yesterday, for their exemplary steadiness, gal lantry; rnd discipline in repulsing all the effort. of a numerous and determined enemy to carry the posi tion of Lundy's.lane,'nee the Falls of Niagara ; their exertions have been crowned with complete succers, by the ch feat of the enemy and his retreat to the-po sition of Ciippawa, with the loss of two of his guns ad an immense ournberof killed and wounded, mid se. veral hundred prisoners.. When all have behaved nobly it is unnecessary to hold up iartietilit iiistances of merit in corps or individuals.' The, " l ieutenant Ge neral cannot, however, refrain from expressing, in the strongest manner, his admiration of the gallantry and steadiness of. the Ath regiment. under Litntenant. Colonel Morris n and Major Clifford, who ably and &Aland y supplied the Lieutenant Colonel's place after he was wounded ; 41st light company, under Cap, t in Glew, and detaclonent of the Bth, or King's re giment,.under Captain Campbell; and.

After reviewing the troops-and park of are tillery at Auxonne, he would proceed to Lyons. eln the 14th. In tins interesting tour, his Royal High- I ness continues every where to receive the expression of the unanimous sentiments which his presence excites. The Government has successively made the neces. sary arrangements f'r discharging to the diffeient, members of the Clergy : 1. The arrears due by the Royal Treattury for their stipends in the year 1313. 2. The first quarter of the current year. 3. The half of the second quarter. • - The first quarter of 1814 is paid throughout the whole of the kingdom. The arrears of 1813 will be 'discharged between the 20th and 30th of September. Means are taken for completing the payment of the . aecond quarter 3f the current year before the end of October. Thus these stipends wall gradually resume t!lieir wonted course. The. Chamber of Peers, in theiraitting of the 13th, itd,opted, with some amendments, the Resolution of the Chamber of Deputies with regard to the Civil' List and the dotation of the Crown. Madam Louise de . Bourbon Conde has recently , arrived in this city from England. This Princess, who bee.ame Abbess of Remiremont itt )788, retired into termany dieing fbe.Roviletion, and only re. joined her father and.brStlfer in England after die fatal death of the Due d'Enghien. She there resided lie the etsnuent of Benedictine Nuns of Madame de Seeismirepoix, who passed over into England at the 'beginning of the Revolution, with her whole come munity, and there observed , the vows. At Paris ' this Princess leads the same life ; she has an apart ment in the hotel of the Duchess of Bourbon_; but she receives nobody, and follows there, with two nuns, the rule; of her institution. We learn that the Marquis de Riviere is appoiutcd 'Ambassador to Constantinople. According to a German Journal, the Xing of Saxony has signed a deed by which he renounces the Sovereignty of his States. . We learn from Frankfort on the Maine, that that city will have in pay a corps of WOG regular troops. A report has been for some time current in Ger many, that the Archduke Palatine would espouse the Grand Duchess of Oldenburg. This report hat now given place to another, which is, that the Arch. duke Charles is to marry that Princess. It is added, that during the sitting of Congress several other al liances between the Princes and Princesses of the principal European Powers will be discussed. It is even believed that their marriages will be celebrated at Vienna. Yesterday. in presence of the Secretary General of the Council cf Commerce, the Masters of the Bakers', Company, and others, an important trial was made of heating ovens by means of cited. The experiment was successful ; the oven was heated in as short a time as by the usual made, the bread was as well baked, of as good colour, and had no disagreelble odour. This discovery is valuable in domestic economy. It will diminish the consumption of wood, at a time when it is so scarce and dear. The Inirstal de Paris cf this day has along political. article. criticising another which appeared in the G sew de France, under the head of Frankfort, and which represented, a the negotiations at the Congress as , about to commence amidst plans of ambition and sg.l grandisement of every kind." The article in goes. Lion is treated as having originated in the office of the Gazette, and the writer in the Journal thus closes his criticism : 44 It appears difficult to believe that, after the ef forts and sacrifices which the Powers of the North have just made, they will carry with them hostile feelings and unmeasured views of ambition to the Congress of Vienna. It will even be advantageous for them, amidathe known exhaustion of their finances, to re-enter their natural limits, and thus to secure for' many ye4S the repose of Europe. a The acquisition of some provinces, by exciting, the jealousy of their neighbours, would only exposel them to new dangers. England should be satisfied with her maritime preponderance, and with the glory ' she has acquired in the war just terminated. There ie a point of greatness where it is wise to stop. Besides, France will necessarily have a great deal of influence in the deliberations of the Congress of Vienna. She is ton much interested that certain. powers should not take advantage of the state of lase situde of some Governments, in order to extend them. Iselves beyond the limits which justice and the general interest of the great European family enjoin them to respect. -The known moderation of the French Go vernment will give mare weight to its interference. In the existing state of things, France is still one of the countries in Europe, the most able to cause her rights and independence to be respected. Her re verses were the fruit of extraordinary circumstances; her glory remains all her own ; and should the na tional interest agaiseentennion her armies to the field of battle, Victory., we doubt not, would still love -,to recognize those French standards which the explOits of our brave armies have surrounded with so much brilliance. Ilut in .despite of all the news, true or false, from Germany, we think that the Congress of Vienna will open under happy auspices. The rights and interests of all nations will he consulted. It will be felt, that if the eqoilibriiim of Europe is not the result of the negotiations of the Congress, she will still continue in that violent state of agitation which has caused so many calamities for the last 25 years. It was to be , s.,ished, for the future repose of all nations, that France had retained the barrier •of the Rhine; but since the wish, to pet an end to the calamities of war and t!.e effusion of human blood induced her to sa. crifize it, slie has a right to erpect the same system of moderation on the part of the other rowers. The Sovereign who should wish to take advantage of cir cumcances in order to aggrandize himself beyond measure, will commit the fault which Nveleou com. ousted, and which decided his fall."

We have to announce another complete Defeat of the American Army, on the 25th of July. It would appear that the American General had determined on effecting some enterprize of moment previ, us to 'he arrival of the British reinforcements. The Ame. ricans• were the assailants, and they were reptils,..: at all points. Our loss has been severe, but an object of great magnitude has been attained. Canada is now considered as so secure from attack that the sedentary Militia have been sent home. The Ame ricans are surely, by this time, sick of the invasion of Canada. The details of this successflal enterprize wal be found in another part of our Parr. if the British Commissioners at Ghent, or rather his Majesty's Goverrutsent at home, whose dusty it is to furnish them witltinstructions, have a due sense of the honour of their Country, the following are the chief terms upon which alone Peace miki to be con cluded with America ; and it is evident that no era could occur more favourable for the settlement of claims of such importance, but in themselves so rea -1 sonable. We do not intend in stating these terms to enter -at present into any lengthened discussion upon them. In the first place comes undoubtedly the acknow. ledgment, that Great Britain, as a Belligerent, has thc right of searching American vessels for British seamen. 9.11 y, An acknowledgment that no Act of Nam ralization by the laws of the United States, in favour of a' British-born subject, can prevent the former from putting in execution her own laws against such sub ject, if found in the service of the latter during war between the two countries, or entitle the States to treat prisoners of war as hostages for such persons.— These two conditions ought to be consented to in limine, and prt!viously to any further discussion of a Treaty. 3d ly, A new arrangement of the boundaries bet weeu his Majesty's Ameri can Prow; nces and the United States. If this arrangement cannot be concluded amicably. which is not impossikle, it must beconcladed by forces Because, uniess his Majesty's Government is prepared Yo go to the expense of establishing Naval Dock-yards on LakesOutario and . Erie, and buildingtbree-deckers there, the occupation of the Southern shores ofthese Lakes by the United Stares cannot be permitted. It is very easy to thew that the American Government would lose little by giving up the point—and if they do it :racially, they might be indemnified in other quarters. Some persons have gone the length of stating, that the Boundary should be carried to the Ohio; but this would be too much, and it would be impolitic to press it. The natural boundary is the Table Land or Hcizht: fiorn whence the Rivers flow Northward into the Lakes above.rnentione4 and Southward into the Mississipi, Ohio, Sec. The ether parts of the boundary, where chatiges are required, might be more easily adjusted. 4th. A distinct and explicit stipulation on the part .o 1 the Unit:d States to respect the Indian terr;:ory. This territory to be tinder the guAritnte• of Gre it Britain, and to extend to the bouthern as well as Western and Northern tribes. 61 1 1.

The an:wer is piaia, that Gr,:at Britaia aloft eves consent that Spain should cede these provinces , to any other power. 6th. A renunciation on the Part of the United States *of making fur the future, any Settlements whatever on'' the north-west . COASt of America. This is the most important point of all, end includes object!, the nature at which has net even been whispered in this country—but which are known to be entertained by the Government of the United States.

There are many other poiats of minew importan t .; to be discussed) • but which need Dot be noticed here, as they belong not to the head of Clain: upon the enemy.. It must be confessed this the seven Articles above enumerated, are of themselves sufficient, if the Am:- rican Government has not yet awakened from its dream of conquering Canada, to stop the wheels of the present negotiation for a time, if not for ever. litho dream is over, some hope may be entertained of a favourable issue, but not until after another cam paign, conducted with proper vigour and energy, and directed to proper points. Our ideas upon the mode of conducting this cam paign we are afraid differ so much from those of our cotemporaries, and from all the plans we have seen, that we shall think it our duty to state them soon for the judgment of our Readers.

BASES, SEPTEMBER 7. The Swiss cantons find great difficulty in coming to an agreement. and every moment there is reason to dread the breaking out of an intestine war. Serious disturbances have recently taken place in the Ober land. 'The discontented assembled in great numbers; thef had their chiefs, and set forth their grievances, which embraced three principal points. They de manded, Ist, that their old Counsellors Schilt, Michel, and Blattner, who had been arrested without legiti mate cause, should be set at liberty. 2d, That the Canton of Berne should renounce its pretensions to the cantons of Argovia and Vand : pretensions which, if insisted on, would cause a civil WAY in Switzerland. sd, That a new, more liberal, and less oppressiie "constitution should be given to the Oberland. We are assured that these demands were made with de. cency and firmness i and that in one of the late sit tings of the Great Council of Berne, several members insisted that the complaints of the inhabitants of the Oberland should be redressed.
