The capture of the American General Ilut.t. with fort Detroit and his whole army, little more than a month after his invasion of 'Upper Canada, by a force not amutinting to half his, own, and•eomPOSed of as many Indians as Briti.,h, and the latter 'consisting chiefly of militia with a few iegtilars, was a most unexpected cause for exultation, as before the exploit was performed, it WoOld have been deemed impossible. No doribt was entertained of the ability of our troops to repel im'asion ; but that a Com mander who represented, in a boastful proclamation, at his ar ival on our territory, the magnitude of his means, and the ftweriority of his force, as capable of bearing down all op-. .positicn, should not only have fled back before inferior ntmr- Im•s, but should have surrendered bimselfand all his troops, w i:b a Nvbo!e American district, without awaiting our attack, "was se complete though so bloodless a triumph, and so entire a di , comfiture of the intentions of the enemy upon Canada, rts to induce a hope that it might lead to the instant tenni elation of the war, What • effect i; lias produced on the public Mind in the United States, we have yet to learn, but it must have contributed to augment the unpopularity of the povirnment, and to render the re-election of Mr. `could this. partisan of must occasion that of. lode r ate, whose first act 'nd.

Onfortunatelr, both the CM Pittott anti Lord CATHCART seem to have _founded ;their exultation on private accourt, rather than an the official dispatebes of the Commat:der in Chief, which do not contain any .claim to a decisive vic tory, and rather gie an _intimation of his inability to " dertake any thing against the enemy" after the battle, un less p;werfully reinforced.
