The adoption of the first of these would be attended with extreme hazard, so long as the enemy occupies the country in his rear; and should he attempt to ad vance to the head of the Lake, the garrisons of Forts George and Niagara would probably intercept his supplies, and totally cut off his communication. It is presumed that afterthe experience our armies have had of leaving a fortified post in the rear, and advancing witheart stationing before it a sufficient force to keep it in check accordia to _the novel and Ingenious system o f i• Old General," General j3rown will not advance to Burlington without ,firat providing a force to remain in the vicinity of Fort George. It is questionable whether, considering the aggregate of his present force, a detachment suf. ficiently large can be spared from his army ; for, judging from present information, there is little doubt but the British forces at the head of the Lake and the intermediate posts, together with the rein. forcements which they daily receive, will form an army which must be met in the field by a very re spectable force. Delay on the part of our army is certain destruction, for no doubt exists that by the late arrivals of troops from France and England, General Brown, unless he immediately acquires pos session of the fortress in the peninsula, will he com pelled to evacuate the British territory altogether, or clobe his career by a Christmas dinner at Quebec. Had our army been in readiness to cross the Niagara in the month of April, every thing might have been effected wh'clr is proposed at this time to do ; but by some strange fritality, our armies have generally found themselves in November performing what ought to have been done in May. From present ap pearance, General Brown is pursuing the track of Hull, Winchester, Wilkinson, and our other mili tary heroes. He has been in the enemy's territory, with an army of 6000 men, ten day, has fought one drawn battle against an inferior force, and advanced 24 mites!!! It is probable that he will send a con siderable force in the direction of Burlington ; but it is equally probable that they will be met half way with a force abundantly competent to insure their safe arrival at the British head-quarters. Should he invest Fort George, it will be remem bered, that during the whole of the last campaign the American army was occupied in strsngthening that post. The fort was reduced to one-third of its size when under the British ; and it was confidently said by all the American officers that with a garrison of 800 men we might hid defiance to an assault by any force whatever. The British also hold Fort Nia gara, which entirely commands the works on the opposite side of the rivet. , An assault on Fort George could, therefore, he induced by no object but the capture of prisoners, at an ezpence of probably three times the number of lives of oar own army. It mould be impossible to hold it as a post, unless Niagara was reduced also. To etfect the last, the army, or at least a considerable part of it, must cross over to the American shore. This would place all at still greater hazard. We must patiently wait the event of the ulterior movements of General Brown, and shall, doubtless, at the catastrophe, admire the military science of an American General, who will astonish with his won derful powers the nations of Europe, and put Wel lington). Blucher, and Schwartzenberg to the blush. FRENCH PAPERS., ARTS, StPT. 3.—.
