The boasts of General Hu4.1.; and,of . the Go vernment who sent him into Canada, our Reader; will rejoice to hear, have terminated in a manner most favourable to the British interests. Canada, we were told in'thedernocratie papers of the United States, was to be conquered almost inimediately ; it was to be nothing but.veni, rid/. Thei grand army, howevor, marches under the com mand of the redoubted Generai HULL ; and after a great deal of vapouring about capturing a block4lOnse, and wounding one or two men, this grand army and its valiant General find themselves comp4leci to, surrender prisoners of war. So — much for-American hostilities in Canada. Two thousand five hundred .men were thus made pri 2,soners, bud Fort Detroit, and 33 pieces of cannon taken, with - no other loss on our part than ;.three killed and thirteen wounded. How will •' 7. and .his party contrive to gloss over 'disgrace, or persuade the,American people to .ekc't those whO have thus shetvn their malignant eagerness to attack Great Britain, and their utter incaiacity to ilirafthe storm they had raised. , --It - Will be seen, by our extracts from the New York V rapers, which reached town last night, to the 2Sth of August, that a Council was sitting at ' Washington, hut nothing had transpired as to the -Jesuit of its deliberations, or as to the determina tion of the Government respecting its relations with this coniitry. The intelligence of the Surrender of t. eir General and his army in Canada, will doubt- Jes quicken their deliberations, and lead them, without delay,'to the deterthination, for the sake "of their own safety and immediate interests,, of putting an_encl to the war as speedily as possible. The following Bulletin of the dispatches from Sir GEORGE PnEvosT,"announcing the above gra tifying intelligence from Canada, was issued this 13ay, and 'the subjoined Letter was sent to the LOitD ,MAYOR COLONIAL DEPARTMENT. Downing-street, Oct. 6. Six A.M. CAPTAIN COORE, Aid-lie-Camp to Lieutenant General Sir GEORGE PREVOST, is just arrived with Dispatches from that Officer, dated. Montreal, 26th August and ht September, 1812. They announce the successful termination of the Campaign in Upper Canada, by the SUR RENDER of -FORT, DETROIT, 33 pieces of Cannon, and THE WHOLE of the AMERICAN ARMY, under the Command of GENERAL HULL, on the lfith of August, to his Majesty's Forces, commanded by Major General BROCK. Th•R officers and men are prisoners of war. The loss of the British in the actions which preceded the Surrender, is trifling, being only three men killed, and, two Oacers . and thirteen xne wounded. The names of the Officers wounded, are Clp tain Muir and Lieutenant Sutherland, of the 41st Regiment. TO THE LORD MAYOR. • " WAR DEPARTMENT, Oct.

Mr.,Sadler ascended from Belvidere-House, near .Dublin, October 1, at . 1 P.M. with the Wind at south-w esW and in 35 minutes had sight of the mountains ih \Vales be continued in the same direction till three o'clock, when being nearly' over the Isle of Man, the wind blowing fresh, he found himself fast approaching the Welch coast, and at four o'clock he bad a . distinct view of the Skerry Light : house, and the prospect of consum mating his ardent hopes of a speedy arrival in Li verpool. The wind now shifting, he was again taken off, and loSt sight of land • when, after bo- , vering- about for a long time; fie dis Covered five,. vessels beating down Channel; and in Impes. of their assistance, he determined on descending . with all possible expedition, and precipitated him self into the sea. 'ln this most critical situation, lie' had the mortification to find the vessels took no notice of him ; obliged, then to re-ascend, he now threw out a quantity of ballast, and quick ly regained his situation in the air, to look out for more friendly aid. It was a length of time before he had the satisfaction of discovering any, and then observed a vessel, which gave hith to understand, by signal, that Slte intended' to assist him, but could not reach him. Two others also now appeared in sight, and one of them tacking about, hoisted the Manx colours. Night now coining on, he was. .determined to-avail himself of their friendly aid, and once more descended into the sea; but here the wind acting upon the bal loon.as it lay upon the water, drew the car with so Much velocity, that the vessel could not over take it; and 'notwithstanding he used his utmost efforts, and latterly tied his cloaths to the grap pling iron, and sunk them to keep hiin steady, still the balloon was carried away so fast, that he was under the necessity •of expelling the gas ; upon that escaping, the caractually sunk, and he had now nothing but the netting• to cling to. H.; ti4iI OUS situation, and the fear of getting entangled, de terred the Men from coming neat him ; until, being in danger 'of drowning, Mr. Sadler begged they would run their btiwsprit through the balloon, and c::(pel the remaining gas. Ilavint , done this, they threw out aline, which he wound round his arm, and was then. dragged a considerable' way before they could get' him on board, quite ex hausted. The ship was a herring fisher, from Douglas, in the Isle of Man, called the - Victory, commanded by John Lee. In this situation he was conveyed to Liverpool, where, finding the crowd of spectators immense, his clothes beir4,also wet, and in great disorder, he paid a visit on board the Pr;nces.ca frigate, where he was most politely received, and ob ligingly accommodated with clothes, by Lieut. Roche. Saturday, October 3 / , Mr. Sadler arr'scd• at Ho lyhead, at three o'clOck •in the aiternoon, on his way to Dublin ; and requested M &Howes (the Agent of his Maiestv's Packets) w(ip.ld transmit this hasty -sketch: of his proceedings to his- friends in Loudon " liclyhcad, Oct. 4. Stn,—Mr. Sadler arrived here yesterday evening, and shortly after entbarki on board the packet fo Duldin. lam happy to say, that not withstanding the great fatigue and anxiety he has nndevgone, he vias in good health and spirits, and intends once more making an attempt to cross front Dublin, when the mown is sufficiently old to enable hint to see, his way. The approach of night, and fearing he might be involved in dark ness on his nearing the coast, induced hirn to de scend at sea. The extraordinary circumstance of of not receiving assistance from the first vessels he discovered: when he first descended, is only to be . accounted for by the terror his appearance must have occasioned to people not used, or, perhaps, not expecting such a sight : one can hardly con ceive it could have been 'from any other cause, or the want of humanity in their crews.

[From the New Fork Gazette of Aug. e 5.1 Shortly after the earthquake, the. Ecclesiastical Body cried out, it was a visitation from Heaven, in consequence ofdisavowing allegiance to Ferdi- , iiand.Vll. and separating themselves from the old. Spanish Government. The influence' this body holds over the minds of the people is, well known to every person. This infatuation' induced many to believe that it was actually as they represented; - and they, with Manv persons of note', held corre spondence, not only With the Government of Porto Rico, but also with the Royal troops at Coro, commanded by General Monteverde. The conse quence was, that he, took advantage of the dis tresses and fears of the Patriots, at a time when they were absorbed in grief for the loss of their friends and property. The invaders were joined by many characters of influence, inimical to - fiber- , ty. At this cy;zis the wreck of the Patribt army assembled, and . the command Was given to the Marquis del Toro, who resigned. his commission. The command was then given to General Miranda, and the army reinforced with men and arms. A bout this time Congress evacuated, and the Royal .A.rinv took possession of . Valentia ;- after wEich ,the army retreated to i'dearcai, the capture Of which soon took place, owing, as is supposed - , to the treachery or inattent ion of Miranda, who retreated to Victoria, though his army amounted to double that of the enemy. On the 6th of July, Porto Cavello was taken by surpiise.- The loss of thii important sea-port afforded a pretext to for surrendering, who entered into a secret arinistice, , whicli led to a private capitulation. The terms Of Miranda's surrender were only known to one or two of his particular friends. The. patriots ci ( .:e.raccas were dissatisfied with his conduct. Every patriot, to the last moment, remained persuaded that 2•li rand& had taken care of their safety ; but on learning the reverse, they fledto_Laguira, to,em bark on board the vessels detained by Miranda's embargo, which was expected to be repealed ; but on the9apitulation being concluded, it as continued in the name of General Monteverde. General Mir,:nda arrived at Laguiri on the 30th of July, and ordered the embargo to be rai.sed, intending' immediately to embark on board - an English schooner for Curacoa; but the Com mandant refused to do so, made him a prisoner, •confined him in a dungeon, upbraiding him as - a, traitor ; and in this exigence declared hilusett . for Monteverde.
