MONDAY; NOVEMBER 4, 1822. CAMPAIGNS IN THE CANADAS. Can'iinued from Saturday's SuN.); The situation of General Procter's little army after this dis aster is well depicted by Mr. James " This was a sad blow upon the right division. As hope fled, despair found its way into the British camp. The situa tion of the men, it must be owned, was deplorable in the ex treme. They had long been suffering, not only from a scarcity of provisions, but a scarcity of money. Few of them had re ceived any pay for the last six months : to some, indeed, nine months' arrears were due. Winter, a Canadian winter; was fast approaching ; and scarcely any of the soldiers had blankets, and all were without great-coats. The severe privations which they had endured in the last, were therefore likely to to be aug mented rather than diminished, in the succeeding Winter.' In addition to all this, the Commander of the Forces appeared ure'dndful of their arduous exertions."—Vol. I. p. 271. Under such circumstances was the retreat to commence, which had become inevitable to prevent the enemy fromlanding in rear of the troops. The reinforcements, which might as easily have been sent up when their arrival would have destroy ed the enemy, were now afforded only to increase the want of provisions. But, if the . Maintenance of our positions on the Detroit was impossible, the attempt to retreat from them was big with danger. for - it was fen:seen - that' to induce the In dians to retire with them, and quit flieti old haunts, would be attended with much difficulty. The warriors received the pro posal with the utmost indignation, and considered the measure as a desertion of them. The British Commander was thus placed, with the few troops which composed his force, in a most critical situation ; for there was every reason to expect that the numerous Indians would not restrain their irritated feelings to a mere dissolution of the alliance. But a successful endeavour was made to convince Tecumth6, who had at first violently op posed the measure, of its unavoidable necessity ; and his in fluence was sufficient to induce a large proportion of his nation to accompany the British troops in their retrograde movement. This important object being gained, the requisite prepara tions for a retreat Were-immediately completed. The forts of Amherstburgh and' Detroit were dismantled, depots were formed on the proposed line of movement up the River Thames, which falls into Lake St. Clair above the Detroit, and the bridges over that river were carefully repaired ; the heavy stones, the sick, women and children, were sent to the rear by the water carriage. On the 27th September, Gen. Harrison landed below Amherst burgh with his army of between 5 and 6,000 men, and, on the same day, Gen. Procter broke up from his poSition and slowly retired to an advantageous spot near the mouth of the Thames, where he had determined to make a temporary stand. But while the general, on finding that the enemy did not advance, had left the troops in position, to examine with his principal engineer the heights near the Moravian village at some distance in the rear, which he intended to fortify and occupy during the winter, the Officer next in command withdrew the troops from their strong . post without orders, even before the appearance of the Americans ; and thus caused the loss of the boats, containing the remnant of the stores and artillery with a guard, which could not ascend higher up the river from the nature of the navigation. The General, on hastily rejoining his troops, found that this un authorized measure had left him no alternative but a battle. The Indians had, on the continued retreat of the British, forsaken them in great numbers,and of above a,OOO, no more than 500 warriors remained with the brave and faithful Tecumth6. The position chosen to await the attack of the American army was covered on either flank by the River Thames and an . impassable swamp, and was calculated to rendertheir immense superiority of numbers in a great degree unavailing. Here, on the morning of the sth of October, the regular force (about 500 effectives) were drawn up in open files in a straggling wood, which, prevented any attack upon them in regular order ; their left secured by the river, a gun flanking the road, and their right extending towards the Indians, who were posted where the wood thickened, so as to form a retiring angle with them, and to turn the enemy's flank on their advance. This disposition was shown to Teeemthe, who expressed his satisfaction at it ; and his last words to the General were, "-Father, tell your young men to be firm, and all will be well :" he then repaired to his people and harangued them before they were formed in their places. The small band of our regulars, discouraged by their retreat, and by the priva tions to which they had been long exposed, gave way on the firstadvance of the enemy, and no exertion of their commander could rally them. While they were thus quickly routed, Te cumthe and his warriors had almost as rapidly repulsed the enemy, and the Indians continued to push their advantage, in ignorance of the disaster of their allies, until their heroic chief fell.by a rifle-ball, and with him the spirit of his follosyers, who Were put to flight and pursued with unrelenting slaughter. The Americans showed their respect for Tecumthe in full as bar barous a manner as a hostile tribe of his own nation could have done under the same Circumstances. The skin was flayed from his lifeless corpse and made into razor-strops,* one of which the late Mr. Clay, of Virginia, a Member of the American Le gislature, prided himself in possessing. Such were the fruits of that lamentable deficiency in energy and foresight which it has been our duty to expose ; such the conse quences of the apathy of the Commander-in-Chief towards the momentous struggle in Western Canada! But we turn with dis gust and indignatiOn from this pictUre of imbecility. One effort of decision, a hundred seamen rapidly conveyed from Ontario to Erie, fin a fortnight's service only, in either of the summer months, would have averted this train of failure and disgrace. Should we be asked. whether the exigency of the service on the former lake could have spared them, we answer most assuredly it might. What object,could be commensurate with the preser vation of the most fertile portion of our possessions on the Ame rican continent, when a fortnight of inactivity on th , s lower lake would have been followed by the security of Lake Erie and the preservation of our great Indian alliance ? In less than ten days after the affair the Moravian town the enemy had received the submission of above 2,000 of the native warriors, and the support of their mosepowerful tribes was wrested from us for ever.. The first care of the Commander-in-Chief was to cast the well-merited odium of failure from himself and to reflect upon the character of the officer and of the troops,, of whose misfortunes he only was the author. The former indignantly threw up his com mand, and required an investigation, which was long and obsti nately refused bySir George Prevost, until an appeal to higher and purer authority was followed by a peremtory order to him to grant it. Then, after the lapse of a twelvemonth, charges were framed, which, cautiously excluding a long period of ar duous services and neglected representations, rested only on the events of a retreat, for which the Commander-in-Chief should alone have been responsible. Where the unavoidable circum stance that, in retiring, the troops were a day without issue of provisions, could he gravely embodied into a charge, we need not wander that censure was inevitable. The attempt made by Sir George Prevost to affix a stigma upon the personal charac ter of a tried and zealous soldier was even less execusable than his desire of sacrificing the, honour of another to avert the dis grace of failure from himself. The charge was, it is true, tri umphantly refutdd, and its author roduCeel to abandon it, with a declaration of regret that it had ever been made ; but how does this palliate the wantonness of the accusation, and, above all, in a man; who, if success were the criterior of courage, - might him self have been convicted of the want of it upon every occasion of his military command ? During the month of September, the enemy had been gra dually collecting in large numbers at Sackett's Harbour, where, under Major-General Wilkinson, a force of nearly ten thou sand men now' rendezvoused.. An attack upon Kingston was supposed to be that —object, add after dispatching reinforce ments to that garrison; General de Rottenburgh left his com mand on the Niagara to General Vincent, and proceeded down, the lake. On the 9th of October, General Vincent received in telligence of the defeat at the Moravian town, and after de stroying great quantities of provisions and stores, commenced a precipitate retreat to Burlington, where he was joined by the remains of General Procter's troops. The unnecessary panic which thus followed Gen. Harrison's success was not confined to the Upper Province, for the Commander-in-Chief had no sooner learnt the fate of the division from the Detroit, than he dispatched orders from Montreal to General Vincent to eva cuate the whole of Upper Canada as low down as Kingston. and to retire into that place. Nor were these instructions is- sued only in the freshness of the consternation, which appeared to have seized Sir George Prevost at the consequences of his own conduct; they were repeatedly urged in the most peremp tory manner. In these orders to retreat, no • notice was taken either of the sick, of whom the army had then a large number, nor of the loyal inhabitants nor Indians 2 . neither was the depot of. provi sisions and stoles at York deemed worthy of attention, al_ though the garrison of Kingston, which depended principally • The" choice spirits of Kentucky," as the pseudo-English woman calls them, have introduced a material improvement on this practice : they cut razor-strops from the Indians while yet alive.--See p. 74 of this volume. on that depot for supplies, had only seven days' provisions in store. The season of the year and state of the roads would have rendered retreat from the head of Lake Ontario impos sible without the sacrifice of ordnance, ammunition, stores, and baggage of every description ; and even then, if half the regular force could have reached Kingston, the want of sub sistence must have entailed the abandoment of that fortress to the enemy; with the ships, stores, and arsenal. Nor would the disastrous consequences of obedience;to these orders haVe ended there ; but we need pursue the consideration of them no farther. Fortunately the evils impending over the suffering inhabitants of the Canadas, and the disgrace with which such a flight from the upper province would harp covered the national honour, were averted by the firmness of some officers of rank in Gen, Vincent'sarmy, to whom that Commander communicated the orders of Sir G. Prevost for an immediate retreat to Kings ton. General Procter, who had not yet quitted his command, strongly urged General Vincent to disobey the injunctions which he had received for so fatal a measure, and was warmly seconded by Colonel Murray, inspecting field-officer, who had already distinguished himself on the Champlain frontier. These Officers observed to General Vincent that if Sir George Prevost had the safety of the provinces at heart, he must eventu ally be gratified by an act of disobedience which could not fail to produce the most beneficial consequences ; they gave their 'opinion til,rainst a retreat upon Weir heavy responsibility, and General Vincet was persuaded to' adopt it. The recovery of the Niagara frontier was the result. General Vincent had with great prudence kept the orders in queStien profoundly secret from his own troops, and both the receipt of them and the resolution to disobey them 'were equally unkown in his lines, except to the superior Officers whom he had consulted. The. intelligence, therefore, which by some Unaccountable means had been secretly conveyed to the ene my, of the iiistructions to retire, was converted into an engine for their destruction. Confiding in its accuracy, the American 'General on the Niagara, from whence a detachment had al. ready been made to join General Wilkinson, DOW dispatched General Harrison with his troops, which had arrived from Lake Erie, and nearly his whole remaining force, to ackett's Harbour, declaring that he was not to be duped by the appear ance of building barracks of Burlington, as he knew tke orders which had been given to the British troops to withdraw to Kingston. The Americans thus became so weak on the Nia gara frontier, that Colonel Murray, with an advanced corps, procured permission from General Vincent to relieve the inha bitants at the head of Lake Ontario from the oppression which the enemy exercised over them : -he drove them before him up the lake shore to within twelve miles of Fort George, and then, without awaiting further orders, made a rapid movement upon that place itself. The enemy were completely unprepared ; and panic-struck at the bold advance of a force whose retreat to Kingston had been implicitly relied ntion, they abandoned Fort George and their strong entrenched camp in its vicinity, and crossed precipitately to their own shore. Before their flight, however, they found time for the commission of an act of bar barity for which the atrocities of the' French imperial armies could scarcely furnish a parallel They had possessed the beau tiful and once flourishing town of Newark,. near Fort George, for some months, and had systematically practised upon the peaceable inhabitants every species of exaction and ill-treatment: but this was not sufficient, and befor ‘ e the American troops crossed the river, they burnt every house but one to the earth. With a deep snow on the ground, and amidst all the rigours of a Canadian winter's night, above four' hundred helpless women and children were driven half naked from their homes, and their habitations and property consumed to ashes! A few days after Col. Murray entered Fort George, Lieut. General (now Sir Gordon) Drummond, who had superseded Gen. de Rottenburg in the command of Upper Canada, ar rived at the'artny, and immediately sanctioned a bold proposal of Colonel Murray for the surprize of the enemy's fortress of Niagara. The plan was executed in a masterly style on the night of the 18th of December, and that important post, with its garrison of 500 men, 27 pieces of ordnance, and 3,000 stand of arms, fell into our possession. About the same time, Major General Riall was detached across the strait with altrong corps to destroy all the provisions and stores, and to sweep down the whole American coast from Erie to Ontario. These operations having been successfully performed, our positions on the Nia gara recovered, and the enemy% defences on that river either destroyed or in our possession, General Drummond, on the last day of the year, leaving a sufficient garrison in Fort Niagara, withdrew his troops to the Canadian shore, and placed them in winter quarters.

To renew the expression of our admiration or gratitude at the unequalled and noble liberality of the People of England towards the suffering Poor of this Country, dur ing the late season of deep distress, is equally unnecessary, as would be any attempt to. increase the fervour of the feel ings which such conduct has excited in every class of our Countrymen. In nothing was the conduct of our English benefactors more noble, more exalted, or deserving praise, than in the high disdain of every sectarian, political, or na-, tional prejudice, by which it was distinguished. So happy was the effect oethis bright example, that if no other result was consequent, the tone and influence which it, imported to a certain class at this side of the channel, so different from what was usual with them, would have been itself a national benefit. But to expect unmixed perfection in human concerns, would be to indulge in the visions of the Optimist. So it is with pain that we learnt during the last week, from various correspondents, of a leaven of Sectarianism having found its way at length into the mass of hitherto untainted Charity; and our regret was the more sincere, when we were told that the Ladies' Committees were the first and only in stances of its manifestation. The evil has happily been checked in its germ by the good sense and benevolence of the Ladies named in this City, as the instruments arid mediums of the benevolent London As sociation. In the printed lists of the General and Local Com mittees which we have seen no one Catholic Lady was named ; this, we must profess, struck our minds as a dereliction of dis interested benevolence. We are happy . in having been in error, as we learn from the followinar demi-official announcement, which appears on the . Constitution of this morning, that an other more agreeable and more worthy system is about to be immediately acted on : LADLE? SOCIETY FOR IMPROVING THE CONDITION OF THE POOR. " We have great pleasure in perceiving that the Cork Ladies Society, recently formed under the sanction of the most respect able patronage, are proceeding with a zeal, vigour, and liberali ty, in the prosecution of their benevolent objects, which pro mises fair for ultimate success. Theleading feature of the Society to unite and direct the energies of the Ladies of all Religions Denominations, in promoting moral, orderly, industrious, and cleanly habits amongst the female poor, without any interfer ence whatever with their religious opinions—These most desira ble ends, are to be carried into effect by domiciliary visits, use ful and affectionate advice, seasonable assistance, and thk offer of Rewahls.—Thus the higher and the lower orders of Society will be brought nearer to each other, and the character and habits of the latter be necessarily elevated and improved. At the suggestion of the London Society, a Central Committee has been formed for the County and City of Cork, which will act as a medium of communication between the various minor Socie ties which may be formed in the County, and the parent Society in London. This Central Committee will meet the last Friday in every month, or oftener if necessary, at the Assembly-rooms, George's-street, for business.—( Cork Mercantile Chronicle, Oct. 28.) We have heard of two places of worship within the verge of our paper, which, by long neglect, had been allow ed to accummulate dust until the beadles, not being possessed of the powers of Hercules, shrunk from the Augean task of cleansing them. .Last week, however, much to the satisfac tion of the lieges, the Magistrates ordered a strong body of amazons, furnished with the proper equipments, to commence the undertaking, and to labour day after day until both structures should be as clean as -if the Nith, or the Peneus itself had flowed' through them, and they have now, we be lieve, nearly fulfilled that duty. In the course of it they made many curious discoveries—a cambric handkerchief, whose beautiful texture became an impalpable powder in their grasp—bodies; and other old world coins—one of them gold— which have not been acknowledged as a circulating medium in the memory of man—scent-bottles and snuff-boxes, whose contents were more inefficient stimulants than the dust in which they lay buried. No inhabitant of the parish can say if either of these places ever, was thoroughly cleaned before. The sweepings of one of them alone, we are told, were sufficient to fill six dung carts !—(Duntfries Paper.) PRICE SEVENPENCE. FOR THE SUN. ADULTERATION. Mu. EDITOR—This letter is written by a . Gentleman, who was ill for ten days, and forced to have medical advice, in consequence of drink sing-white wine at an inn in the country, where he remained a week. There was not a copper uten sil in the kitchen of the inn, and it was-ascer tained .to be-sugar of lead in the white wine. The honest innkeeper purchased this wine by the pipe, -which he rendered clear with whites of eggs. Wine is too bulky to be smuggled ; but the fabrication and adulteration of wines are carried on to a great extent, for the duty on all wines produced to the revenue only 892,0351. in the year 1821, which is less than the duty on 16,250 pipes of port wine, though 25,000 pipes of port wine are annually imported. The fol lowing punishment for frauds on the revenue will perhaps prevent their recurrence. The man who smuggles teas is an honest man compared to the man who adulterates teas. The smuggler sells the best of every thing ; but the latter mixes deleterious articles which undermine the human constitution. Adulterated teas are chiefly consumed by -the ppor, who are too ignorant to discover the fraud. If to adulterate teas, foreign wines, or to make foreign wines for sale, and to adulterate porter, ale, or beer, was for the first offence, three months solitary confinement, in prison on bread and water only, in addition to the present penalty ; for the second offence 13 months solitary imprisonment on bread and wa ter only, in addition to the present penalty ; for the third offence to be made felony without be nefit of Clergy; a stop would be put to the fa brication and adulteration of those - articles. The third offence never would be committed, perhaps - not a second offence, as a check would be put to such frauds by the first punishment. This law in the first two offences makes the culprit drink water in return for the poison he makes others swallow, and cannot be considered •as severe,-- though letters, newspapers, hooks, drawings; pencils, works of art, paper, pens, and, ink, are included as forbidden in solitary confinement in prison.

FORTY-FOUR PEOPLE ROBBED !—On the re turn home of several from the fair, a gang of villains, armed with blunderbusses, pistols, and bludgeons, attacked all they met, to the num ber of forty-four ! near lioathtown, County of Meath, and plundered them of the fruits of their day's industry. The miscreants mal treated many of their victims. The greatest sufferer is Mr. BROOKS of this town from whom they took 1421. ; one of the gang examined his pocket-book, and returned him some memo randums they considered useless ; a fellow who appeared to have a command, ordered his watch to be restored.—(Drogheda Journal.)
