These before us offer, if you please, * bard bargain; terms certainly not tote accepted.; but*, do not, I t hi n k, presume upon absolute dishonour on our 'parr. Let us candidly consider, in brief tern* their =opt. 1 4 et us take them as they stand, Our administration is" pot now, for the first time, made acquainted with the cer tainty, that they never can obtain a treaty while they insist en protecting the subjects of Grant D r i ta i n on )104:11 our mershant vessels, And I up. tare to affirm, thst they are prepared to T o m o* this pretension, This question then presents OP ob- SU& go a peace, nlthollah made a tins row Znglish, INA/Wogs P a f raisa t • Of As to dullard* Mfecting the Ili4iiansll4•ll jot; Will, Wholhert pcus !may if Si 4r Roots tb.

No.—.-Secondly, as to the Indians : I ask Great Britain, if it has ever been heard of that Indians are considered as independent nations ? We know that France, when in possession of Canada, never treated them as such; and certain it is Great Britain never treated them as such.--Lastly, as to the two nations r I confess myself utterly asto nished that the British Commissioners should propose a measure to ours, which, if it was accepted, it would be morally impossible to observe, for the inevitable:en croachment of civilized people on savage nations, and the retreat of the latter, can no more be prevented than cause and effect can be separated ; and moreover, sech a stipulation would only be the cause of another war in less than five years. It is therefore inadmis sible on every ground. " As to a revision of the eastern boundary line ; no one has ever objected to running lines for the pur pose of settling diputed boundaries. Should we lose Moose ,Island by ascertaining the truth, we will ask Mr. Jefferson to explain why it was cot obtained de finitively by the ratification of Mr. King's conven. tion ?. However, this is not a tine qua 104. and conse quently might be disposed of if nothing else ftrevented. ." Lastly—They do not pretend to interfere with our right to fish on the Newfoundland banks, but they refuse to yield the privilege to cure our fish on their own shores without an equivalent. This is pre cisely the diitinction formerly taken in this paper. The first, we maintained, was our strict tight, and so clearly so, that we not only would never surrender it, but we also said we were quite certain Great Britain would never ask it of us. Our letters of yesterday, speaking conjecturally, informed us she had, and we pronounced the demand insufferable. It now appears she does not, and she only expects an equivalent for the use of her shores, to which we have no right. and which is so far from being essential to our full enjoy spent the fishery, that in point of fact, as I have since ascertained, our fishermen did not avail them selves of the privilege when they had it gratuitously. • 44 But the article respecting the Lakes is surely ' not to be admitted. No : Not as it stands. But observe, it is not proposed to us as what must indis pensably be granted ; if it were, I should say the Lake: or no !pace; that is, an equal participation of the Lakes. It is merely a proposal, an extraordinary and inadmissible proposal. I admit ; but if the article eau be so modified as to be made perfectly reciprocal, each to do or abstain frOm doing whist the other does or abstains from doing, I do not know but it might be well enough. Otherwise, however, it must be resisted at every hazard." - - From the Gaseett we learn that General DRUMMOND, etreating from Fort Erie, had made a stand at Chip. pewa, in the vicinity of which a battle is expected, We understand that the dispatch from Sir GEORGIC PftIVO6T, omitted in the Gazette, was dated the 11th of September, at Flensburg, detailing the success at tending his advance, and his intention to retreat in .consequence of the disaster which had befallen the British flotilla. The return from the 6th to the 14th of September bring inclosed in the dispatch bearing date the 11th, is easily accounted for, from the circumstance of that , dispatch not having been made up for some time after. Although dispatches have arrived of a laser date from Sir G. Paevosi., none has been received ,ccintaining any account of his retreat. Private letters, ;however, contradict •the American statements of pre .cipitation and embarrassment in Sir GEORGE% move ',tient& on that occasion. The dispatch of the 11th, before mentioned, refers to the action on the Lake, but it is not thought proper to publish this until an official account of the action reaches the Admiralty. We have received the letters of our valuable Cor. respondent in Canada, the last dated 25th September. They contain so much of the' discontent that, is breathed in every letter from Officers in that quarter, that we forbear repeating much of it. The writer says, we have yet no prospect of Sir Gantt:es going home. From desertion, and other causes, would you believethat up *the country our army suffered a loss of upwaids of three thousand men ! How different is our case here front what it was iq the Peninsula. The Duke of WELLINGTON had the unbounded confidence of the whole army, Officers as well as men. The soldiers believed they could 'achieve any thing, and they would do any thing tin der him. Sir GEonoa has the confidence of none ; t h e heave fellows whO conquered Portugal, Spain, and France, are now dispirited and foiled by Yankee Militia. We want not only a new 'Commander•in- Chief in this country, but a total change of the heads ,of every department: things have gone on too long in their present channels. We have had a great deal of bad fighting lately, and have done no good : but we are to have another trial soon. The large ship is launched, and she is to do great things : we are now to proceed against Sackett's Harbour, which will give some trouble—it is where they get all their shipping out on Lake On tario, and our navy now dare not :thew themselves pn any of the Lakes. _fowl; lintsamiata, and Rosnisomia brigades von vial Sir Gamma in the last business, and some, thing shotdd have beea dose, Such troops, under -.---- such officers, would, if breeted, erect any thin* You have all heard of the *owner wide% the veteran Gen, Glutei' made to Sir (Ilioaoa when he inspected 'the corps and clothing regimeat• 6004 There was a report es eirculatios to•clay..el *mg sure of Boston by Admiral COCARANE, bet it nets on no foundation whatever. Large embarkations of troops and stores continue almost daily at Portsmouth for America.' The and. lery department will be increased in a particular degree. We have received Paris Papers of Thursday. from 1 Which we subjoin a few extracts. Little is said of the proceedings of the Congress, and that little is, we fear, not very authentic. What degree of credit. for instance, can we attach to a Journal whiclt styles itself 'ter excellence the "Chronicle of the' Congress," and which gravely informs us that the King of DENMARK is to exchange that Kingdom fty . Hanover, and that the Duke of Yoax is to be Viceroy of Denmark ! •It appears that Lord CASTLZKRAOH is treated with much more respect at Vienna than Prince TALLEYRAWN and we thick the inference is fair that his/woes and anastereciees are more readily listened to. • The French Journalists can scarcely conceal their chagrin at this circumstance. They say that Lord CAsTLzaencnes personal intimacy with the , Allied Sovereigns greatly facilitates his views.. This may be rather unfortunate for French interests, but it is, perhaps, all the better for those of Europe at large. BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 16. A private letter from Vienna has the following passige :—" It is very seldom that any thing tran- spires of the proceedings of the Congress. It is how ever affirmed, that certain - pretensions respecting the Rhine, advanced by M. Tdlleyrand, have been rejected with so little disguise that he was greatly affected by it." It is affirmed that the late King of Saxony win I pass the rest of his days at Frankfort. He and his family will enjoy an income of three million : s. of dollars.. A publication, entitled Counae/a to At Coitgows Vienna, is prohibited so strictly, that the penalty of 1(X) ducats is decreed even against any person %rip merely has it in his possession. • • PARIS, NOVEMBER 17. Eight years ago the Duchess of Newcastle and Ge neral Craitfurd, her husband, visited Bareges.. This brave Officer, who was severely wounded, experi enced the best elects from these celebrated waters.— In order to leave a durable mark of his gratitude he set apart, for the benefit of the poor of the place, an annual sum of £3U. Bonaparte, in defiance of every principle, displayed towards these benevolent fo• reigners the hatred which be bore to their nation, and made. them wait a long time at St. Lcver•de Rustan, ere he permitted them .to return to their country. It was their delight and constant °comae tion to commemorate their stay in this country by acts of munificence ; and, on their return, they conti.. nued regularly to remit their allowance to therpoor of Bareges. This year, on account of political events, the remittance was retarded, but it has now arrived, and the amount will be divided among the poor, at the commencement of the approaching season for.* Bath. By letters from Lisbon, we learn, that orders were published on the 22d of October, annulling the pu nishment of exile pronounced against individuals sent out of the country in 1810 by the police, some of whom went to England. Hopes are excited that the amnesty will be extended to those who followed the army of Massena, not daring to resist the abso lute will of Bonaparte. They reckon much on-the I goodness of the Prince Regent, and the moderation of Ministers. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCTOBER 10. In the night between the 4th and sth instant s dreadful fire broke out at Pere, in the same quarter which was destroyed by fire some years ago, and since rebuilt in the vicinity of the narrow street which leads to the Hotel of the English Embassy : the fish and butcher meat markets, the Palace of the Wai-' !odes, Sec. were once more destroyed. The flames were so , violent, that the united efforts of all the Mi misters, the Capitan Pacha, and of the Grand Seignior himself, who proceeded to the spot, could not extin guish them. The Greek Church, built of stone, and a private house opposite Galata Seray, at length pat an end to the desolation. The disaster was followed: a few days afterwards by three other fires at Constan tinople, Tophana, and Pera, but timely auistance speedily extinguished them. Some distressing rumours are its circulation here, in Arabia and Egypt. As far as we know, one m‘O lumn of the Caravan, which was performing the pil grimage to Mecca, and which was on its way to . Mossul, was surprised in the environs of that place by a corps of Wechanites, or Bedouins, who are partisans of this sect. Every individuard the Carava was • stripped to the very shirt. It is said that there have been troubles in Egypt,. and even at Cairo, but it is added that they have bees appeased, although not without the effnsion of blood —thanks to the 'vigilance of the Caimacan which had been left there by thepovernor Maimed Aly Pacha. The inconvenience has thence resulted to the Porte of retarding the reinforceenents destined for the Pe ninsula of Arabia. In the Arsenal of this capital they are occ upied in eqpipping a frigate for the coast of Africa. keel of - 0 74 gun ship has also been laid within these few days, a nd two other ships of war will speedily be built. • TffE ARMY.
