Gatrite Sir Geo. Prevost's account of his memorable retreat, 0-mug's they have published his dispitches relating to all the movements of the army before and after that retreat. This blow did, in fact, decide the question of war, or peace. There was much Morateripg &rout it here; it was affected to treat the thing li fitly ; the 7'imes, and other venal !.ewspapers, represented it as a mere trilling occurrence, which u °old soon be over balanced by sweeping victories on our rut. Cut upon the back of this came the brilliant success of the Repub licans in repulsing our squadi on, and buroieg one of our ships before Fort Mobi!!e, in the Gulph of Mexico ; and thus, while we had to vaunt of our predatory adventures rtgainst the city of Washiegton, the town of Alexandria nod the villag7!s of French. town and Stonington,fte fame of the Republican arms, by land as well as sea, sounded in every ear, and glowed in every heart, along tits whole extent of the 1600 miles which lie between Canada and the Mexican Gulph. _ _ In Europe these events prohced a proo.l - sensation. These who wished to see a check given to the all-predominant naval power of Eng. land, rejoiced at them ; and every where they ex cited and called forth ad miration of the Republicans. There had been, during the struggle on the Con. tinent, no leisure to contemplate the Trans-Atlantic contest; but it now became an object of universal attention ; and Europeit so long accustomed to re gard English naval invincibility, when the force on both sides were equal, or nearly equal, as a thing re ceived and universally admitted, was surprised be. yond expression at the undeniable proof of the con trary. The world was now called on to witness the combat between England and America single. handed. The former was at the summit of power and glory ; she had captured or destroyed almost all the naval force in Europe; those Powers who had any nasal force left were her Allies, and were re. ceiving subsidies from her; she had an army of re gulars of '200,000 men, gushed with victory ; she had just marched part of this army through the heart of France herself ; she had a thousand ships of war afloat, commanded by men who never dreamt of defeat. This Was the Power that now waged war, single-handed, against the only Republic, the only Commonwealth, remaining in the world. The friends of freedom, who were not well acqnainted with America, had been trembling for her. They did not seem to entertain any hopes of her escape. They thnught it scarcely possible, that she should, with her densocratical Government and her handful of art army, without offizers and without stores, resist England even for a year..aingle-handed ; and they saw no Power able if willing, or willing if able, to lend the Republic the smallest degree of assistance. But when the battles of Lake Champlain were an nounced ; and when it was seen by the President's Message to Iris fellow-citizens of the Congress, that the Republican Government marched on with a fire: step, and had resolved not to yeild one single point to our menaces, or our attacks, a very different view of the contest arose. The English nation, which had been exulting in the idea of giving the Yankeys " a drubbing," began to think, that the undertaking WRY not so very easy to execute; and seeing no prospect of an end to the war and its expences, they began to cry out for the • abolition of the greatest of those taxes, the existence of which depended on the dura tion a the tour. In the meanwhile, the Ministers, previous to their knowledge of the battles of Chippewa, Fort Erie, Plattsburgh, Lake Champlain, and Fort Mobille, hail put forward, at Ghent, were high pretentions. They had proposed, as a SINE QUA NON, the expulsion of the Republicans from a considerable ,portion of their territory, in behalf of the savages in alliance with us; they had demanded, though not as a sine qua non, the surrender of the Lakes to onr Kin;, even with the prohibition to the Americans to Prete: fortifications on the borders which. wOuld remain te. them; they had demanded a line of communication,. between Quebec and our territories east of the Penobscot, through the territories of the Republic. The American Negoeiators declined any discussion of these conditions, until they should receive in structions from their Government ; alleging , and very justly, that this was the first time that any such grounds of war, or dispute, had been mentioned by us. These den‘ds having been transmittetrto the Pre sident, he, ra stead of listening to them, laid then before the Congress, with an expression of his indig nation at them ; and in this feeling he appeared only to have anticipated his fellow-citizens throughout the country, with the exception of a handful of aristo cratical intriguers in the State of Massachesetts. New and vigorouslihasures were adopted for prose eating the war. tie Congress hastened on Bills for raising and paying toldlers and sailors ; for molting the militia more efficient ; for expediting the builditte of ships ; erecting fortifications ; providing floating batteries. In short, it was now clearly seen, that the Gevernment•of the Renublic was equal to a time of war as well as to a time of peace; that we had tn. carry on a contest, at 3000 miles distance, feistiest a brave, free, and great station ; and that the aristo cratical faction, on. whom some men had depended for aid, were sneaking off into pitiful subterfuges, afraid any longer to show a hankering after our cause. In this state of things; with this prospect befor them, the Ministers wisely resolved to almndon their demands, and to make peace, leasing things as they stood before the war.
