in a hasty retreat, our gallant bands pressing upon him. " On the Lakes, so much contested througk ont the war, the great exertions for the command inale on our part have been well repaid on Lake (I)f:trio. " Our squadron is now, and has - been for some time, in a condition to confine that of the enemy to his own port, and to favour the operations of our laud forces on that frontier. " On Lake Champlain, where our superiority had fur some time been undisputed, the• British squadron lately came into action with the Ameri•- can, commanded by Capt. McDonough. It ended in the capture of the whole of the enemy's ships. The best praise of this Officer and his intrepid' comrades, is in the likeness of his triumph to the illustrious victory which immortalized another Officer, and established at a critical moment our command of another Lake. " On the ocean, the pride of our naval ; arms has been amply supported. A second frigate has indeed fallen into the hands of the enemy, but the loss is hidden in the blaze of heroism with which she - was defended. Captain Porter, who commanded her, and whose previous career had been distinguished hyalaring enterprize and -by fertility of genius, maintained a sanguinary con test against two ships, one of them superioe to his own, and other severe disadvantages, till Hu manity tore down the colours which Valour had nailed to time mast. This Officer and his com rades have added much to the glory of the Ame rican flag, and have merited all time effitsions of gratitude which their country is ever ready to be stow on the champions of its rights and of its safety. Two smaller vessels of war have also become - prizes to the enemy ; but by superiority of force, which sufficiently vindicates the reputation of their Commandees ; whilst two Others, one commanded by Capt. Warrington, the other by Capt. Blakely, have captured British ships of the saute class, with a gallantry and good conduct which entitled them and their Commanders to a just share in the praise of their country. " In spite of the naval forces of time enemy ac -reinitiated on our coasts, our private cruisers, also, have not ceased to annoy his commerce, and to bring their rich prizes into our ports ; contri butiog thus, with other proofs, to demonstrate the incompetency and the illegality of a blockade, the proclamation of which has been made the pre text for vexing and discouraging the commerce of Neutral Powers with the United States. " To meet the extended and diversified warfare adopted by the enemy, great bodies of militia' have been taken into the service for the public defence, and great expences incurred. That the defence every where may be both more convenient and more economical, Cofigress will see the neces sity of immediate measures for filling the ranks of the regular army ; and of enlarging the provi sions for special corps, mounted and dismounted, to he engaged for a longer period of service than are due from the militia. I earnestly reuew, at the same tune, a recommendation of such changes in the system of the militia, as by classing and dis cipliniug on the most prompt and active service, the portions most capable of it, will give to that resource for the public safety all the requisite ener gy and efficiency. " A part of the squadron on Lake Erie has been extended to Lake Huron, and has produced the advantage of displaying our command of that Lake also. One object of the expedition was the reduction of Mackinac; which failed with -the loss of a few brave men, among whom was an Officer distinguished for .• his gallant exploits ; and the expedition, ably conducted by both time land and naval Commanders, was otherwise valuable in its effects. The monies received into the Treasury, during the nine months ending on the 13th day of June last, amounted to 32 millions of dollars, of which • 11 millions were the proceeds of the public re venue, and the remainder derived from loans.— The disbursements for public expenditure during the same period, exceed 34 millions of dollars ; and left in the Treasury, on theist of July, near five millions of dollars. The demands during the remainder of the present year, already authorised by Congress, and the expences incident to an ex tension of the operations of the war, will render it necessary that large sums should be provided to meet them. " morn this view of the national affairs, Con 4.,,ress will he urged to take up without delay, as well the subject of pecuniary supplies as that of military force, and on a scale commensurate with the extent and character which the war has as sumed. " It is not to be disguised that the situation of our country calls for its greatest efibrts. Our enemy is powerful in men and money, on the land and on the water. Availing himself of for tunate circumstances, he is aiming, with an un divided' force, a deadly blow at our growing pros perity—perhaps at our national existence. He has avowed his purpose of trampling on the usages of civilized warfare, and given earnest of it in the plunder and wanton destruction of private pro pert y.—ln the pride of maritime dominion, and in his thirst of commercial monopoly, he strikes with peculiar animosity at the progress of our navigation and the manufactures.—His barbar ous policy bad not even spared those monu uteuts of taste with which our country had en riched and embellished our infant metropolis.— From such an adversary hostility in its greatest force and worst forms may be looked for. The American people will lice it with the undaunted I spirit, which, in their revolutionary war, defeated his unrighteous projects. His threats IQ his barbarities, instead of (lismav, will kindle in.every bosom an indigna tion not to be extinguished, hut in the disaster and expulsion of such cruel invaders. In pro viding, the means a ecessary, the nati ona l L, g i s b,_ tire will not distrust the enlightened patriotism of his constituents. They will cheerfully and proudly bear every burtben of every kind which the safety and honour of the nation demands. We have seen them every where paying their taxes direct and indirect, with the greatest promptness wad ala crity. We have seen them rushing with enthusiasm to scenes where danger and duty call, and offering their blood they give their surest pledge that no tither tribute'will ;fie withheld. " Having forborne to declare war until to other aggressions had been added the capture of nearly a thousand American vessels, and the impressment of thousands of seafaring citizens, and until a final declaration had been made by the Govern ment of Great Britain, that her hostile orders against our commerce`would not be revoked but on conditions as impossible as unjust, whilst it was known that these orders would not otherwise cease but with a war which had lasted • nearly 20 years, and which, according - to appearance at that time, might last as many more, having mani fested OH erery occasion, and in every p roper mode, a sincere desire to meet the enemy on the ground of justice, Mir resolution to defend our beloved country, and to oppose to the enemy's persevering hostility all our energy with an un dimiuished disposition towards peace and friend ship on honotwable terms, must carry with it the good wishes of the'impartial world, and the best hopes of support from an omnipotent and kind Providence. • • " Wash " JAMES MADlSONington, Sept. 20." • • VIENNA PAPERS, TO THE 215 T. During .the dinner given to the Allied Sove reigns at *Vienna, on the anniversary of the bat tle of Leipzic, the Emperor of Austria drank the following toasts I. To the health of my illustrious Guests and Friends. 2. Thanks to ms brave Army and its Leaders. :3. Tbanks to the brave Allied .Nrtnies. 4. The I Bth of October. Ally the Memory of this Glorious Day be transmitted in a permanent Peace to the latest poste. rity. The celebration of this memorable da v con chided with a brilliant ba!i, given by Prince Metternich, Minister for Foreign Affairs, at his summer palace, which was most magnificently and appropriately fitted up for the occasion. The ifustiiniz Observer of Ang..l6, says :—lt is reported that Iris Royal Highness the Prince Re gent of Great Britain has resolved to raise the Provinces heretofore constituting the Electorate of Hanover to the rank of a Kingdom, and to assume the title of King of Hanover. [Note.—We do not insert this as any novelty, but as shew ing how differently even matters of inferior importance arc represented in the French and German Papers.] A German Paper (Me Correspondentfor Genhany) gives the following particulars i❑ a Letter from Paris : Since General Vandamme arrived here, be em ployed all possible means to insinuate himself in to the favour of the present Government, and to cause the past to be forgotten. He had, of course, some friends of the former Government on whom he could rely. These actually gave him great hopes, and carried it so far that he ventured to re pair to the usual Audience Chamber at the Thuil leries. This attempt of his friends totally failed. No sooner did his Majesty learn that Va»damme was in the Anti-chamber than, with strong ex pressions of indignation, .he sent orders to him to - quit the Thuilleries immediately. Letters from Hamburg!' state as follows :—lt . is perfectly true, that Marshal Ney aml other dis tinguished persons applied to the King of France in favour of Marshal Davoust. His Majesty seem- ed to yield, and to be inclined to grant Marshal Davoust an audience ; but we know not what didiculties have since arisen ; Davoust was not aOlnitted to an audience : he, therefore, lately wrote to the King, but his letter yet remains un answered. PRIVATE COI RESPONDS HAmstinGn, OCT. 25.—The intelligence from Vienna begins to be interesting. We now learn, that the Prince Regent of England will raise the Electorate of Hanover to a kingdom, and thus the British Sovereign will unite in future three or four royalties in hi 3 Crown. The particulars are not yet known ; but it is added, that the King of Hanover will he Protector of the Hanse Towns. It is decided that Saxon‘' shall be occupied in a short time by Prussian troops. According to letters from Vienna, Prussia will also have Swedish Pomerania, in consequence of arrangements with Denmark. It is added, that the latter will be indemnified by Great Britain. Nothing is more false than the revived report, that the Island of Bornholm has been occupied by the English. Great part of Western Pru3sia will return un der the sceptre of that power, namely, Posen, Guesen, and Kaliseh. NORWAY. EJEAD-QVARTEPS AT FUEDERICKSALL, Ocr. 19, 1614 •Oa the 130 October, Barou ltoseublad, on the part of the Swedish Commissioners, delivered a discourse in the sitting of the Norwegian Diet. Next day the Diet appointed a 'Committee of 9 Members to confer with the Commissioners among them are President Christie, - Bishop Bech, and Counsellor 'fuseltmv. It was at the same time decided, that this Committee should during three days receive the observations of the Depu ties to the Diet, on the plan of the Constitution. In consequence, it was not till the ;7th that the first conference took place betrreen the Com mittee and the Commissioners. The latter were satisfied with the moderation which the Ministeis of the Committee displayed on this occasion. The minds of men daily more and more approximate, and it is not doubted that the union will be so lemnly pronounced before the 21st. ca... d pre i' , ( - ions, is compete n t t o r epress An le " ri 4 to ' v sions, to h um bl e A mer i can vanitY , all ~ tie tise Americ an v ill a i ny . p Ol e 10 It behoves us, p er h a p s , to ta l n - 5 o ot: notice of thi s t ru ly M a di so pian 9(4 %14 °; mixture of cr a fty misrep resenta tion, I' ve s oli losophy, a n d impudent falsel)°°(V\ as brief and conc i se as possible. bsets„,i - 1 0 MADISON, af ter hi s i ntro ductory ° pr ols,, speaks of the general pacification " f b o fire'; withdrawin g ''the occasion on W hic ctisal• t" meat from Am er i can vess els were P ra r j 5, ~ We will t e ll hi m t h at t h e re ne ithr i i s ad r can be, any change in the B r itish Co n° of ti point.
