their place of destination. There we find them exhibiting a. spectacle that would wound the feenngs of the most callous man —Without terits—without blankets to corer them—with out camp-kettles to cook the miserable pro visions fnrnished them by the Government . Contractors ; or any one necessary of camp equipage. Their Officers -with the utmost dif ficulty '•pritventitig- their 'marching home for self-preservation. Here, 'Mr.. President, wish to call the attention of the Senate to the propri ety and, constitutionality of culling ont.this de tachment of 'militia', at a tithe When no enemy me naced invasion. The Constitution only authorises the general Government to call out the militia to suppress insurrection, to enforce the laws, and . repel invasion. And .1 would ask, whether efther of these events bad happened when this corps of militia were ordered out 1•16 ; it is well known that no such emergency existed. :But they have this miserable consolation, that they are to receive six dollars and two-thirds a. month for their ser vices, finding their . own. cloaths, 'arms, and ac coutrements. " I do not mention these things with a wish . to discourage the militia from serving their coun try when necessary, nor . do I believe defending them in their corisitutional tights will have that effect ; for I am fully aware that there is no class of citizens more patriotic, or more to de '. fend their country than . they arc, and will be so founfl when the safety of: it shall really demand their services. , • I will now resume the consideration of bur situation up the Lakes to Detroit and Fort Mal den. Here it must he remembered that the Bri tish .cot ntiand the Lakes. We ate told that Go vernor Poll is marching to the defence of Detroit with twelve hundred militia from the state of Ohio, together with four hundred regular troops, formed and disciplined for action by the brave Co lonel Boyd. - These troops. s hope . will be better supplied -and provided for than thOse orx the fron tier of New York. It is whispered, by some of the favourites who are suffered to • know the pro jects of our Government, that' the 'Britisb have sent a part of their regular 'troops, logether with . a number of Indians, from Fort Malden- to Fort Erie, near the Fans of Niagara ; .and . this is taken as certain evidence of the weakness of the garri son at Fort Malden, that that fort may conse quently be surprised, and taken by Governor Hull with little difficulty. .Now I draw the exact con trary conclusion from this circumstance; for the British must have known that. Governor Hull was on his march to Detroit,. and if they had been weak at Fort Malden, they never would have detached art of their force, and'sent it to the aid of . Fort Erie.—But presuming they had not beard of Go vernor .march, and that they had left that fort comparatively'defenceless,-they will assured ly learn it soon enough to have the detachment return by water before Governor Hull can reach Malden. And if in the attempt to take Fott Mal den, Governor Hull should meet with a defeat, the consequences are alarming; for no reinforce ment can be sent him; nor assistance• afforded, soon enough to prevent a disastrotiS . termination of the expedition. In that case the British, with a partial aid from the Indians , , might cross the ri ver, and take possession of Detroit—and if they should then obtain the assistance of the Indians ' generally, it will be in their power to drive in all the ftorttier settlementS of. Ohio and there can be little doubt, when this war is once commenced, that nearly all the Indians will flock to the British standard." • • !JAMS. . Altult En--1 Guernsey, 1 jersey, 1 Gottenburgb,.

Fvi suEr if — l f .1 t SOI,I D!CilktE FALSO.M AUDLAT L oNpq N, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1812. Last night we received Paris Papers to the 30th ult. They neither contain any 'fresh in forrnation froni. the Armies, nor do they gratify out anxious'desire of knowing the details of the insurrection in Paris. Upon the latter subject they are, indeed, perfectly silent. , This silence appears to us to be extremely singular ; the Ma niteur informed us that the plan of the ex-Ge-, nerals had completely failed, that their persons were .seized,, that the good people of Paris , testified their joy upon the occasion by shouts of f'ive L'Empereur ; and that tranquility was com pletely restored. it was added, that the conspi rators. had been taken up, and that a commission vas appointed to try them , --that is, order them to be ,shot. 'Surely, it was very important that the people of France should be informed of all these things, and yet they arc not noticed in one of the unofficial - Paris ,Journals. It What was stated, in the. Moniteur was true, what possible oh , jec,tion could there be to have the fact made known throughout France ? That there bad been an insurrection in Paris was known, be-. cause : it was officially notified in the Moniteur ; but if the other part of the statement in ti , at paper had been true,-=if the insurrection had been completely . .quelled,—if tranquility had been restored,—can it be imagined that the ,Itnotlicial Papers would not have been allow, ed, nay _would not have -been induced to com municate the glad tidings to every part of France? We think, therefore, there is fair ground to be , lieve'that the statement r in the Moniteur was 'not true, neither with regard to the extent of the in surrection, nor its suppression. These .Papers contain a singular account of a balloon which wa3 said to•baye been prepared at Moscow,..for the purpose of annoying the French army. The _letters from Moscow are one day later than the last Bulletin; but, as we have already stated, they contain no military information. We are happy to learn from our correspondent at Brighton, that Government has directed its serious attention to,the : eM which has long been complained of, viz. the resort of foreigners to the • sea coast. We understand that. Mr. BROOKE, the Chief Clerk of the Alien. branch of Lord SiD MOUTH'S Office, arrived at the New Ship Inn, Brighton, on Wednesday evening, attended by a Messenger; that' an active inquiry was immedi— eely set on foot, and several foreigners were called before that Gentleman for examination, though .at a late hour. This prompt Mode of proceding was :very judicious; and encourages us to hope that Lord SIDMOUTH will continue to pursue a system of rigour w ith respect to fo reigners, the necessity A which we have expatiat ed upon. We understand that, among others, inquiries Were made after three of the prin cipal perfOrmers belonging 'to the Opera, who had been residing .at Brighton for . same ; time without the sanction of Government, but they had quitted it about , a week since. Mr. BROOKE ,was. in private conference with the Magistrates, the next morning, at the Hall, fOr a considerable time It is really past bearing, •thaf persons of the description We have alluded to should pre sume unhlushingly to infringe 'our laWs, and we hope 'they will be made to feel, that they may not do so with impunity, merely because they contri bute to the amusement of tile' higher classes of society. It was this morning reported, that accounts had been received, stating that the American Com modore RODGERS bad been taken. We could not, however,' trace the report to any authentic source. No information upon' the subject has reached Government: The Baring extra-ship, from Bengal, arrived at Portsmouth the 6th inst., in company with the Barossa sailed from Bengal 21sth June, arrived at Madras 7th July, sailed from thence 13th July, arrived at St. Helena 12th Sept. and sailed froth hence the 14th, in- company with the country ship Barossa, from Bengal. The Lord Castlereagh and Warren Hastings had left Bengal for China ; the Surrey bad sailed from Madras for Bengal ; the Dover Castle in dock, when the Baring sailed ; the Bengal arrived at Madras the 9th July; and sailed for Bengal the 13th ; the Baring sp6ke With his Majesty's ship 71/inden, in lat. 7.

The Right Hon. .I.nIRS WALTER, Lord Foil- RESTER, yesterday took the oaths before.his Ho nour, the Master of the Rolls, at Lincoln's Inn Hall'„ in order. to qualify, his Lordship to vote at. the approaching Election of the Sixteen Peers • of Scotland. The letters from Stockhohn and Gotteabur,gh, adverting to the ,disappointment in regard to the Expedition, allege as a reason for the disem barkation of the troops, and their return to quar ters, that the Russian Government had signified, that from the success ofthe native recruiting, there • would be no occasion for their services. Sweden was in' much want of the most essential article of subsistence, • and 25 ships in ballast had arrived at Cronstadt from . Stockholm, to return with grain. We understand that the whole of the troops of the German Legion,' now at Bexhill, amounting to 3540 men, are to embark immediately at Ports.- Mouth for Corunna, in order tos.join the Marquis WELLINGTON. That fine , regiment the 47th; commanded by Major BROAD, on leaving .Seville, to'join Gen.. HILL, was inspected by Col.

On Wednesday right an alarming fire broke out front it back-parlour of Mr. Barker, dealer in marine stores, Henrietta-street, Oxford-street.--ai The house was soon destroyed, and two other houses were much damaged.* The arrival of the engines, and a plentiful supply of water, prevent- . ed Natter mischief. On,Friday night last, about 7 o'clock, Mr. Ed word Davison, of Team, was attacked on Derwent Crook - Waggon-way, near Gateshead ?ell, Nor thumberland, by a person who came behind him knocked him down with a bludgeon. The vil lain first struck him on the shoulder, and then.on the head, which he cut; and when Mr. D. was lying on the ground, he again repeated his blow , on which Mr. D. cried out " Murder !" For tunately his son was on the road to meet him , and hea.ring the cries of his father, ram . to his assist ance. The Villain hearing the voice of another person„ made off without accomplishing his pur pose, being that very instant in the act of rifling the poekets Of hiS intended victim. SECOND ITION.
