The. , British forces of every description were instantly : put in motion, and about five P. M. an incessant firing of artillery was .distinctly heard, which •lasted till dusk. The result was not known, but we doubt not of its having been as glorious as the battle of Queenstown. Every one acquaint ed with the brave 49th, and the loyal• and high-spirited people of Kingston, will ugrec with us in opinion, that their - invaders will be discomfited and covered with' shame.

Unless we use every exertion, the Americans will soon be superior to us on the lakes. If we had but 300 experienced seamen, with proper officers, we might set them at defiance. " We beseech our fellow-subjects to place no confidenCe in the report,of the American camp being broken up at •Plattsburgh---the troops con tinue there in full , force, and are determined' to attack us.

Brink, every effort of the t-Netny to Succeed in landing was - foiled, except xt ,the extreme point in the Queenston Bottinn, which, from .itE, situation, was entirely out of the reach of ; :or cannon ; a this p a rticular spot they, had suc.ceeded, before break of clay, in landing a part of the 13th regiment and three boats with militia ; and the Head of the Lake Militia, and a part of the 29th, who disco vered them as day was dawning, all formed close under the hill.—The enemy received a volley, lost six men killed, besides wounded, and retired to their boats, under cover of a steep bank, , front whence a continual fire was kept up, And was re- . turned front our side. for about an hour, with the loss of one inan killed and four wounded. " It was front under this bank, and the ledge of rocks up the river, that the enemy first attempted to ascend, a fisherrnan's•path up the mountain, shaded by small trees and shrubbery from the view of our troops at the battery and-elsewhere, at least until they had got up in considerable numbers, when they were discovered by a party near the stone house of :.Er. G. Hamilton, and iturlediate information sent from thence twice toward; the battery, stating the ciretnnstanee—the 'first information was unfor- . tunately disregarded/ , and the last, when the General himself was flotified, a small party of about thirty or forty men, wv.e ordered to w:arch With Lieut.-Colonel .APDonnell, joined by Major, - Robinson, as ,a • volunteer, front the battery along up the mountain, to drive them hack again—by the time, however,. that they reached the summit, they found the enemy formed to the amount of about:2oo men, who immedi ately oonunenced tiring, and front the superiority of their namber,'succeeded in driving back our men,' and caine clown on the battery, front which . General Brod( and his • small force re treated towards _Queenstown. It was 'a small field, inear to the tavern , formerly occupied by one Miller, that General .Brock received his mor tal wound, supposed to have been a musket -shot fired from near the battery, and which entered below his breast and lodged near ,his batk-bone:' The . brave Chief had rallied his men, and was in the act of cheering to the charge part of the light•company of the 40th and some militia, when the fatal ball was' received ; his last words were, " Pysla on, »ty Boys, never mind me!" and well did • th'e risen perform his orders,- In,r, notwithstand ing the disadvantage of being obliged to ascend the hill, exposed' to a heavy fire, from the top, (which, by this time, was covered with troops; who had followed up the path before - mentioned), , and a cross firs front near the battery, they gained the heights), at. , tacked, and throve the .enemy even to the, very •etige of the rocks on the river, where they found a tresh reinforcement of them, an a l who , in their..turp, succeedell in . forcing ou r p art y to retire on 'St. David's .and Vroonian's battery, and .for a. while they remained in WI) Ileights and Batter possession - of Q ueens- Cotir • The SwissA,iovernment have imposed a tax of two livres per annum, upon hunting and other do- ‘eu are , forbidden to es.

THE .S.V.NtY. 3111 ,EDITOR, As an ' ert ! Oneinis notidu is'c'.ntcytained by some persons respecting the liability of Half-pay 'Of- ficers to be called to, account for conduct unbe coming the character they bear, it is right, to state, that there are several instances in which Officers on half-pay have been struck off the, list in consequencei)f an application,to the Secretary at War, and of Officers on full-pay being tried and cashiered .bysimi lar appeal. to the Com mander in Chief. A very recent proof of the . Latter may he seen at the Judge Advocate'S Office, in which a Mr. M'Alurnua, 'belonging to a line . regiment, was sentenced to be distnissed,the ser vice, for having deluded a tradesman at Lisbon, by 'giving him an order on the Regimental Pay master for his subsistence, after lie himself:bad receiyed the same. , • The Prince Regent, and 'hiS Royal Higbnets tie Commander in Chief, as well as the •Secre :. ,tary at War, *re so impressed with a sense of the high principles of honour which ought to govern every Officer in the British Army, that the slightest deviation from truth and honesty, ifpro- . perly represented, is instantly noticed And so the thing ought to be ; for what can an irides-' triotts tradesman or hard-working man think of the military character, when he finds his creduli ty imposeo upon by an appearance of fine feeling and high sentiment ? An ordinary person, who obtains money under false pretences, is disgraced in the eyes of society, and frequently transported for offences which have been committed . by Of ficers .k,earing,his Majesty's Commission on full pay; or, enjoying his gratuity on half-pay. In the latter case ninny are misled by supposing that a' Half-pay OffiCer is out of the reach of all milt ; tart' cognizance, and that as he cannot .alienate his allowance, he may bid defiance to that appeal which is often made against Officers in full 7 pay. Nothing, however, can be more ittijUst or inure absurd than such a supposition ; and Vain'per suaded, that if once the question were brought to issue, the situation of a. Half-pay Officer, who should presume upon this foolish and ungrounded privilege, would be found (alit ought to be) sub ject to the nicest scrutiny. A Half-pay Officer, in tact, though put out of the power of a •Court martial, by a mistaken poliey;is'nevei' out of the reach of the Kino's authority; I knOW that allalf-pay Officer cannot, de jure, - idienate his gratuity, or give' it as a security for money advanced, and that the case has already .been determined in'a Court of Law; but 'I . itL, know, that if an Officer, under a knOWledge of this:invalidity should impose upon any of his Ma jesty's subjects, and persuade' tradesman to hazard his property, and to take . his honour for the appropriation of his half-pay, and theft stand(' receive it himself, or direct it to . another qu.u.ter, such conduct, if represented to the 'Secretary at War, would lie instantly 'noticed, and his. name would, in all probability, be struck out, of the army list. The first step to be taken is to transmit a me morial to the Secretary at 'War, who will pro bably order a memorandum to be lodged at the Pay-office, until the matter shall have beeu clear ly adjusted. Indeed, there are instances where tbe,itidividual, having a claim upon a Half-pay Officer's gratuity, has stated the saute at the ray- Office,:and hail justice done him. TRUNCHEON. FOR TUE SUN. VACCINATION. MR. EDIT'OII,---The regard which you thew for the public welfare, in admitting the facts importing; the want of security in Cow-pox ino culation, is . thore praise-worthy, as most of , the other newapapers refuse to lend their assistance. In your Paper of Dist Friday was inserted the case of -Snelling mid her child, which I trust 'will not be passed octer by the VACCINE BOARD; it is so singular a proof that, with all their care, they possess no better lymph than . Dr'. JENNER hitnselt was accustomed to make use of. Some remarkable cases lately occurred in St. Jaßles'sToor , houso, of which Dr. PEARSON took a very accurate examination : doubtless he means to give the public and the. Board souse account of it : and at No. 58, Newamnfstreet, a servant' maid, aged nineteen, died of the. Continent Sinai:- Pox four Years after she had ben vaccinated; so, th if the security of Cow-pox is given up: the mitigation seems as little to be depended upon. I fear iti,votil4 occupy a daily page of yrinr: Pa per,lif every practitioner were to transmit to you the cases 'as they occur, but if they would faith 7. fully ttansmit them to the' VACCINE BOARD, they would 'do a public service, and if the President would sign his name to the Report before it is printed; the Anti-vacciuists would not have Si) touch iteason to presume that it was an imposi tion on their understandings. _ _ _ I believe it is the opinkin of some of tl►e most impartial judges', that the best ►pethod to exter minate Small-pox would he to have a general in ocul►ltion every second or third year; by this means very few would be left for the accidental: occurrence of ,Sinall-poi4, and this indeed was nearly the state of the c►►se when the experi►uent of Cow-pox was first recommended ; so with this advice, which will be thought good for nothing, I beg leave to subscribe myself, Your obedient servant, Nrzz a 4.X• I fl - PriosPD MUlA?tit.

Coroner for the City, Ward, a, watchman, stated,, that about two o'elotkron -Sunday morning, as .he was .cart fluty at Cow-lane, he.heard a rattle sprung, com ing. as it 'were frottr Fleet-markeY, Mal which he after,vakds found to proceed fro n Seacoul-lane7.- - As •he was, running forward, it,! saw •the devitsed eomiva Cawards hint; he having supposed the soand of the rattle to have come from Cow-lane, till he witnei.s informed him it came from Seacoal-lace, whither hedesired the the eased to follow him. The witness then:ran ,forwal . tl Selicoal-hole, .where he found several other watchmen, and two gentle men, one Of ;whom had been knocked down by two men, both of whim had escaped,. Two women who were in Company with the men were in cus tody, but the, gentlemen not desiring them to: be detained, they were discharged. As the witness was 'returning from, - this:fray:, he heard u rattle . spring faintly, on which he • made tip to the spot.. whence the sound proceeded, which, was immediately halide the bookseller's shop, ‘As he was, ruuniaa a‘ strange , man, who : was farther off, the way of: the Church, called to the witneat to pull him (meatting the deceased) up,:for there Was nothing. the matter with hint to make hint spring-this rattle. The witness' said to his fellow watelintaa,,hethoUght there was something the nattier' withabim, fore he waSaill.overpouring of blood; and as the witness spoke, and beforehe could get op to the deceaSed, the deceased fell; and his rattle along sick of him. The man' who had spoken. to.the ‘vituess by this time was off.; The witness could not s;ty, if ha saw the watchman fall ; the witness.never saw the man who Spoke -tophim, but he knew he NV3S.th6 way. of the church, .as the. SPhild flOlll that direetion. The deceased was on his legs when the witness saw him, and this was about live mi nutes after the time that he bud seen him first. The deceased fell backwards, us againstlhe door of Mr. Godwin's shop. Mr. John Berry, house-surgeon of St. Bertha loatew's Hospital, said he saw the deceased the moment he was brought to the Hospital, which was about half past two o'clock .on Sunday Morn ing. lie was then dead. He had a, great deal of blood in his mouth, and about his face. The wit negs only, saw that he Ives dead; heaaw no, ap pearance of violence about him. There was a great-quantity of bldod in his mouth, which had come 1101111 his lungs. It was arterial blood. The bodywas afterwardaopened. The lungs :,had no.appearance of rupture, but thge were such ap pearances abotit some.of the small N:ar.i.e.lScoime . ctcd with. them, Thu quantity of, blooi),,hc save.!eonld not have come from any one of: those small rup-' tared vesielS, but there Were sieve rld of them from which it might , hitve come. 'the lungs xhom -,01ve.,,s went not inflamed, but se‘ erul of the. small v,-els were -much iaflained. Tilealppearanees he saw; and the blood, produeed, twiSt .have been 'oc casioned by souse .prior injory, and et:told not have been Caused by it blow given itt the moment, or live minutes:l)ow' to. his death. No blow on the neck could have produced theappearaneea he had described Qll the longs. The discoloured Mink on the neck which the Jury had observed, had not s keen occasioned by a blow, but by , the, stagnatedhlood. .There were rio external marks of violence What ever about the body, nor any thing but .the.com moo eppe.arances produced by otattwal .eanse, where the blood stagnates. In the opinion oldie witness the deceased died'a natural death. Mr. Hodges, a pupil belonging to St. Bartho lotue.W's Hospital, said he was present when the boAy of the deceased was opened. There were no marks of violence on any of the external parts, hut • there was a quantity of blood in the- tracht.-, which appeared to have passed up from the frac tured vessels about the lungs,which were dieased. A considerable quantity of .blood from the lungs was likely to have produced sullOcation. The wit ness saw nothing about the appearance of the de ceased to lead him to suppose that the deceased had died from any thing but the disease of the lungs which he had deScribed. A plithisical cough was likely to be produced by such a state of, the lungs as that which those of the deceased exhi _bited. The wife of the deceased represented her bus. blnd as a hearty strong man, not subject to a cough. He had hid a sort phthisical cough for about a week. The deceased was not given to in toxication, and had taken his supper that same night about eleven o'clock. He would 11,tve been yeavi of age in May next. In answer to a question put by' one of the Jurymen, the witness said, she had heard her husband ,express an ap. prehension that he would be murdered one day or other by a person of the name of Skilfy, or sonic such name, for taking up a coachman for stealing a note. The private watt:hum to Messrs. Clarke,Boyd, and French, Stated, that he heard a spring of rattles, and shortly afterwards a man ran across the street. After he had` passed, there came, in the Sainc direction, five or six watchmen ; and. then he heard, three different times, a taint at tempt to 'spring 'a rattle, also in the same direc tion, as from a person constrained front springing his rattle freely. He immediately directed his at tention towards the place whence the suppressed sound seemed to come, and then he saw a person stagger and fall, He• had since examined the place, and Was convinced the deceased must have scrambled, as there was an appearance of blood right and left of the door-way where he fell. Mr. SlinTON then addressed the Jury, observ ing, that from the whole of the evidence adduced, not only was there no proof to satisfy them that the deceased bad been murdered by any one; but on-the contrary the whole of the evidence went to spew that he had not come by his death otherwise than in the common course of nature. The Jury immediately returned a verdict--Died , f
