After the operations on the Miami, the enemy abandoned all intention of advancing against the Detroit frontier until they could attain a naval superiority on Lake Erie. While General Harrison, therefore, was augmenting his force, the American arsenal at Presqu'isle was the scene of busy preparation for the equipment of a fleet. The British held the command of the waters of , Lake Erie, but our flotilla, like that on Ontario, was manned entirely by Canadian sailors, and itrstate of equipment altogether . was extremely' defective. The enemy early in the siring laid down two heavy sloops of war at Presqu'isle. Their views did not escape the British commander on the Detroit fron tier, and he formed the design of capturing Presqu'isle before the new ships could be launched. But the attempt was utterly hn practicable without reinforcenrients, and these were long and anxiously demanded in vain. When Sir James Yeo, arrived with his seamen, Captain Barclay of the Royal Navy was de tached to assume the command on Lake Erie. A more able or gallant officer could not have been selected ; but he was suffer ed to carry with him to Amhertsburgh, where he arrived in , June, no more than 25 of the seamen of the Ontario fleet. He fully concurred with General Procter in the necessity' of an im mediate attack upon. Presqu'isle, and their endeavours were united in soliciting the Conaruander-in-Chief to afford the means of effectitig iittefore it should be too late; Their joint entrea ties were met only by promises which were never fulfilled. On Captain BaKclay's arrival, a new vessel, to carry 18 guns, was, I laid &own at Arnhertsliurgh, but there were neither men nor suitable ordnance either for her or the rest of the fleet, and though these wants were repeatedly stated, they were almost entirely disregarded. So early as the 19th of June, after having exposed the necessity of .destroying the enemy's arsenal, it is said in a dispatch from General Procter ,to,the confidential - Aide-de-Camp of Sir G. Prevost, I trust you will see the expe diency ofsendmg me the remainder of the 41st Reg,iment, I did flatter myself that they were On their routq hither from your letter to me; they should be sent here without delay, to in any degree ensure the safety of this district—' I am very desirous of having our new vessel on the water, where she will be much safer ; every effort should be made to send seamen before the vessels at Presqu'isle are ready. If reinforced I shall have some confidence, but I know the cry has always been against sending men here.' But this strong representation was re plied to only by empty promises of speedy succour, and though the remainder of the 41st Regiment' could with the utmost ease have been detdched from the army on the Niagara frontier after their success on the 6th of June, with a reinforcement of sea men from Ontario (for the. short period their assistance would have been required a'Presqu'isle,), not a man of either service was sent at the time fez' the purpose. On the 4th of July it was stated by General Proctor in a dispatch . to Sir George Prevost, that if these reinforcements had been sent, it would have been in his power, by the destruction of the enemy's ves sels at Presqu'isle, tb have placed the dock-yard and port of Amherstburgh in a state of security which,. under existing cir cumstances, it cannot be said that they are m ; however, though certainly more difficult to be effected, it may not be too late if, agreeably to requisition,the remainder of the 41st Regiment be immediately sent to .ong Point'. (on Lake Erie). It will scarcely , be credited that, even after this, the Commander-in: Chief should have suffered above five weeks to elapse before he dispatched the small amount of regular troops that, at an earlier period; would have sufficed to secure the half of the up per province from becoming a prey to the enemy ; although lie fully acknowledgde his immediate ability to grant such a re inforcement by stating, in answer to the'deihand (on the 12th of July) " the whole of the 41st Reginient will - be either with you or on the way ere this reaches you." Such supplies of men as were at length sent canie in detail and by small parties, and were in consequence nearly useless. While the extreme weakness of the British regular force on the Detroit, after the expedition to the Miami, reduced General Proctor to continue inactive, Mr. Dickson had succeeded in bringing the nutnerous Indian body from the westward into' the Michigan country, where full 3,000 warriors were now col lected in the British alliance ; a larg,er number of their nations than had perfelps ever before assembled in arms for a com mon purpose. Had the Commander-in-Chief supplied a few hundred regulars at this' epoch, the enemy must have been annihilated, but the Indians would not act - without the sup port of the British, and, except their operations are directed by a respectable force of white troops, every movement must be governed by the caprice of the native warriors.— The number of our allies which might have been made so for midable to the Americans, became, on the contrary, only em bairfisino• to ourselves. The difficulty of feeding them daily increased. All 'the representations of General Procter could obtain neither provisions nor money from below, and before the end of July the warriors and their families were re duced almost to starvation. At length the impossibility of provisioning them attained its height, and neither troops, nor food, nor money being dispatched to his aid, 'General Proctor was compelled, with such means as he possessed, to endea deavour to support his allies in the enemy's country. Ile could not carry heavy . artillery with him, for the flotilla were necessarily occupied in Watching Presqu'isle, though too weak to attack it. He landed a second time near I ort Meigs, which he blockaded, in hopes that Harrison, who, with the body of his forces, was now absent from it, would attempt its relief; but he was too wily to trust to the issue of a con flict with the Indians in the woods which surrounded that fortress. A stratagem was then tried by the Indians to pro voke the garrison to a sortie, but the event of a former salip was fresh in American recollection, and they were not to be drawn from their defences. The Indians were now con iinced that nothing was , to be done against the plhce ; they found it hard,' in their own language, to fight against men who lived like ground hogs,' or in other words were strongly intrenched, and they ' immediately began to desert the British commander. But he knew that it was hopeless to return to the Detroit, and made one more effort to harrass the enemy by embarking his little force and proceeding to Fort Sandusky farther round the lake, and in the heart of their country.. Against this place an assault was attempted by the troops with the utmost gallantry, but repulsed with loss, Ihr the Indians fled at the moment when the columns moved towards the place. No alternative now remained but a return to the Detroit, with increased difficulties and diminished force; and the whole In dian body again concentrated in the Michigan territory. The struggle which had 'hitherto been maintained on the Detroit and Erie frontier with so much ability and courage un der every disadvantage and neglect from the Commander-. in -Chief, was now approaching its crisis. General Procter had scarcely arrived on the Detroit from the late operations, before Captain Barclay was necessitated to retire into the port of ilmherstburgh by the appearance on the lake of the American fleet of far superior force to' that under his orders, in the whole course of that vacillation and error which unhappily distinguished the administration of Sir George Pre vost, his imbecility . of judgment and action was most flag rant and palpable in the circumstances which led to the de struction of our marine on Lake Erie. Captain Barclay stated the wants of his squadron in men, stores' and guns with the same truth and earnestness as General Proctor had repeatedly. ex pressed ; but the only reply of Sir George Prevost to his state ments was a cold and general promise, in a letter to General Proctor, that some petty officers and seamen for Lake Erie should be sent forward on the first opportunity,' and this first opportunity, it seems, was neither sought nor found before the month of September, when forty sailors only were supplied.— The mode to be resorted to of procuring those stores and ord nance without which it was in vain to proceed against the enemy, was curiously stated in the same letter—' The ordnance and naval stores you require,' said Sir George, must be taken from the enemy, whose resources must become yours ;" I am much mistaken if you do not find Captain Barclay well dis posed to play that game.' It was assuredly , not from personal experience that the Commander-in-Chief recommended this manner for acquiring stores and artillery , ; for he brought no re sources from Sackett's Harbour ; on the 13th of July, the re quest for seamen was renewed—'Even 100 seamen,' says a dis patch from General Proctor to • Sir George Prevost of that date, pushed on here immediately, would, in all probability, secure the superiority on this lake'—` I am already weakened on shore by my efforts to enable Captain Barclay to appear on the lake ; if lie should not receive 100 seamen, I shall be under the necessity of sending more soldiers on board the vessels.' Yet no seamen came, and on the 18th of August, Gen. Proc ter announced to the Commander-in-Chief that the enemy had appeared in superior force to Captain Barclay befor one sailor had been supplied, notwithstanding every solicitation. Still all hope was not past. The Detroit is launched,' says Gen. Procter's dispatch of this date,.' and if I had seamen, a few hours would place this district in security'—' I entreat your Excellency to send me the means of continuing the con. test.' But t instead of replying to this application with an immediate reinforcement of seamen, the Commander.in.Chicf O`,WW ;114,140N (- 4 ---,1.:. •Allb.. • 14k}Ar,t1tr 4: , /Valreft, 71," /I;i3Plii •s\\i‘s\ .. . :., .i.. • . SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1822. answered it, as usual, and on the 22d of August, with mere promises, and thus expressed himself : Although it (your situation) may be one of difficulty. you cannot fail of.honour ably surmounting it, notwithstanding the numerical supe riority of the enemy's force, which I cannot but consider as overbalanced by the excellent description of your troops and sea men, valorous and well, disciplined. The experience obtained by ir Jas. Yeo's conduct towards a fleet infinitely superior to the one under his command will satisfy Capt. Barclay that he has only to dare, and the enemy is discomfited.' Who ima gine that the author of this taunt to the - gallant Barclay was the same man who, but a few months back, had himself fled before a routed enemy ! Who could suppose that thiswas the language of the same individual who, within the compass of a year, was to cover the heroes of. the Peninsula with unmerited humiliation, and to tarnish the glories of his country by a shame ful flight before an Americanrabble alike contemptible in num bers and discipline ! One part, of this remarkable passage was not suffered to pass unnoticed—' Your Excellency speaks, says General Proctor in a subsequent dispatch, of seamen, valorous andavell disciplined. \Except, I believe, the twenty-six whom Capt. Barclay brought with him, there are none of that descrip. ation on this lake. On board of his Maje'sty's squadron there are scarcely enough hands (and those of a miserable alescription) to work the vessels, some of which cannot be ussoi for want of men, even such as we have.',—' I entertain th - a4iighest opinion of Captain Barclay, and have afforded him every aid T possibly` could., We have set too strong an example of cordiality not to have it, prevail through both services. We have but the one object in view, the good of his Majesty's service and preserva-' tion of this district. And once - more,' seamen:should be pushed on here even by dozens.' At length, after thesbeginnitv of Sep, tember, when the situation of the troops on the Detroit 'had be come esperate from the total want of provisions, clothingand stores of all kinds, forty seamen only arrived; and Sir GeOrge Prevost's wishes were expressed, that, on their junction, Capt. Barclay ' should make his appearance on the Lake to meet-the' enemy.' If Capt. - Barclay had dispised the taunt, and chosen. to disregard the wish of the Comniander-in-Chief; by avoiding an action, the option was no longer left him ;_ there was no al ternative between his clearing - the waters of the enemy to open the Lake communication, and the starvation of the troops and Indians. On the 9th of Septeraber the kit barrel of flour had been consumed, and Capt. Barclay was compelled to sail in quest of the 'eneni y without further aid. Never did a British squadron, encounter a foe under such dis advantages. The fleet was composed of two ships of 18 guns, . a brig of 10, a schooner of 14, and two smaller vessels carrying .3 and. 1 guns. It had been necessary to. strip the forts on the Detroit of their ordnance to arm the flotilla. One of the ships and the brig had each cannon ()flour different calibers en the same deck, from 24 to 2 poimders, and the new ship could only be rigged by robbing the five other vessels of a proportion of their scanty and iniatequate equipment. There-were not above 60 British seamen in the whole flotilla, and 85 Canadians were sorry substitutes for the aid which had been so ineffectually de manded ; 210 men of two different regiments completed. this heterogeneous mixture of 358 Peasants, artisans, soldiers and sailors, whom Capt. IQ•elay led into action against 580 chosen American seamen, besides riflemen acting ,as marines. The enemy's fleet was composed of two sloops of war -of 20 guns, and seven other sail mounting 14 heavy guns on pivots; but the disproportion of force will be best understood by the fact, that the American broadside threw above twice the weight of metal of the British. Of the naval action on the 10th of September, which tenni-. nated in the capture df our whole flotilla, we may be spared from relating the details. It is sufficient to know that every lidnourahle effort was made by our gallent officers to contend against an overwhelming superiority , in numbers and artillery; that the American Commodore's ship struck her flag to the Detroit And could not be taken possession of from want of hands, and that the 'day,was -not lost until the first and second in command of. every one of our vessels had been killed or dangerously wounded. The heroic Barclay had lost one aril under Nelson, and flie s ',other was now mutilated before he quitted his deck. (TO be continued.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 1. The Court met This day for the first time since the long va, cation : it was the first seal. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Bench at half. past ten o'clock; and appeared to be in excellent health. THE WATERLOO BRIDGE CO3IPANY V. DIESSRS. BROWNING AND CO. • Mr. Ilonx said, he liad'an application to make to the Court of a pressing nature. It was a motion praying . that the Court would grant an injunction, to stop an action at law, which had been instituted by Messrs. Browning and Co., against an auctioneer named Croggon. The facts of the case were these :—ln 1821, the Waterloo Bridge Company offered for sale - by auction, certain freehold anckleasehold property, consisting of wharfs, vaults, &c., in the neighbour hood of the bridge. Messrs. Browning and Co. bought two lots, of this property, and they deposited in the hands of Mr. Croggon„ who was the auctioneer employed to sell it, about 1,3001., on account of the purchase. Negotiations went on for some time for the completion of the purchase, until the defend ants took objections to the citle of the Waterloo-bridge Com pany to the property. :All these objections had been refuted except one or two, which he was convinced would turn out to be worthless. In this state affairs stood when Messrs. BrOwn ing and Co. brought an action against Mr. Croggon to recover the money which they had deposited in his hands. Under these circumstances, the plaintiffs applied for an injunction. Mr. Croggon had put in a statement of facts, and expressed his willingness to pay the deposit into Court. Mr. SIIADWELL was on the same side. • iiherol — DlCnANcELLoit directedtheinjunction to issue. At a subsequent period of the day, the AiTORNEY-GENE RAT. said, he had been informed that the Court had issued an in junction to restrain Messrs. Browning and Co. from proceeding with their action at law. He was employed by Messrs. Brown ing and Co., and he could assure the Court that his clients did not receive notice of the motion until last night. The cause was to be tried in the King's Bench to-morrow ; and although it had stood for trial ever since Trinity term, the injunction had not been sought until the very day before the cause was to be tried. He hoped his Lordship would suspend the order till to-morrow. Mr. SHAHWELL said, the Learned Attorney was not cor rectly informed of the facts. Negotiations for the purchase of the property had 'been pending since Trinity term. The bill was filed on the 10th of September, and the defendants, instead of putting in an.ansiver, had obtained an order for time. The Lord CHANCELLOR said he would bear the case to morrow, but the defendants must not proceed in the action for the present. MARRYING WITH WARDS Or THE COURT. - • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that at the last sitting of the Court, his Lordship had made an order that a young gen tleman (Mr. Bennett), who had marled a Ward of the Court without the consent of , her guardians, should appe a f i n c ourt wan of this day and deliver up the infant. He was authorised to say,• that the father of the young gentleman, who was a for tune, was willing to make any pecuniary arrangements which might be considered necessary by the Court, Mr. HART was instructed by the friends of the infant to say, that they did not intend to press any thing against the young gentleman, who was a person of unexceptionable character.— Affidavits of the facts had been filed, which would be given to his Lordship: The Lord CHANCELLOR took the affidavits which were handed to him, and said lie would make such an order as the circumstances of the case appeared to require. • LEES V. AINSWORTH. Mr. WINGFIELD said he was instructed to make an appli cation for the comminvent of the defendant for having marned a ward of the Court, knowing her to be so at the time he mar ried her. The bill was tiled in September, at which time the marriage took place. Affidavits had been filed, in which it was sworn that the defendant meditated the leaving of the country. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to state the circumstances of the case, when The Loan CHANCELLOR said, " Can I commit any man _without giving him an opportunity of being bend ?" Mr. WINGFIELD.-1 think there are instances of commit ments when it was sworn that an individual tneditated leaving the country. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—I may make an order to re strain him from taking the infant with him. There will be no great harm if he do leave the kingdom, provided 'we keep her here. Mr. PEPYS.—I am afraid, my Lord, that the order to re strain would be inoperative; he will he gone to-morrow. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—I cannot help it. I will grant an order to restrain the defendant and all other persons from taking the infant out of the kingdom. Mr. WINGFIELD.—WiII your Lordship order the infant to attend. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—Yes , 1 will direct that the ser vice of my minutes shall be agood service, and that the de. fendant shall bring the ward into Court to-morrow. If you can find any proper person to take care of her, I will make an order that forthwith, upon the service of my minutes, the defendant shall deliver her up. Either you or Mr. Pepys can take her. ,Mr.-WINGFtELD.—Let Mr. Pepys have her, my Lord, he is the junior Counsel.—The order was then issued. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 1. KING AND ANOTHER V. WILLIAMSON AND ANOTHER. This action was brought to recover damages sustained by the negligence of-the defendants, Mr. Williamspn apd Mr. Clapton his builder, in not duly supporting an arch of the plaintiff's cel lar, while they pulled down an adjoining wall, in consequence of which the arch fell in and destroyed a large quantity of wine. It appeaTed that . the plaintiffs were wine-merchants, in Pud ding-lane, whose premises adjoined those of the defendant Wil. liamson. In the °nurse of some improvements performed for Mr. Williamson by Mr. Clapton, the wall in question, which formed part of'the support of Messrs. King's cellar, 3V3S removed with out any means being taken to prevent mischief; or any notice to the plaintiffs. At the same time, a heap of •bricks was laid in the yard above ; and the pressure being thus increased, while the support was diminished, the arch, .which seemed nearly coeval with the fire of London, gave way, And entirely spoiled 54 dozen of wine in its fall. For this injury the plaintiffnow ,iought compensation, contending that it was the duty of the defendants, especially in so populous a neighbourhood, to have .bored the earth on each side, so as to ascertain that they would not injure the property of others by their proceedings:- On the part of the defendants it was contended, that they ought not to be supposed cognizant of all the vaults in the neighbourhood, and that Messrs. King . must have known the danger, because there was a window in the counting-house commanding a view of the yard where the work was chiefly conducted. _ _ _ To this it was replied, that in a situation like that of Pud ding-lane, where, as stated by one of the witnesses, there was scarcely six feet of solid earth, but near the whole space was occupied beneath the ground by vaults, the defendants had rea sonable ground to surmise that they were near some cavity which their works might injure; and if Messrs. King were aware of the alterations in progress, they might also fairly con- fide in the defendant fox taking proper measures to avert mis chief from others. _ _ The LORD CUTE? JUSTICE left it to the Jury to say whe ther the defendants had not sufficient reason from the circum stances to place them on their guard as to their proceedings ; because, if so, they were clearly liable for the damage which had arisen from their want of care. The Jury found t verdict for the plaintiEs=the damages to settled out of Court. • • NANSE AND ANOTHER V. TURNER, BAIT. This was an action by the executors of the late Mr. Crean, the keeper of the Star and Garter inn, at Richmond, to recover a sum of 550/. amount of a bill incurred'by Lady Turner and her family and servants, at the testator's house. Mr. MARRYATT, Mr : WILTON, and Mr. GEORGE were 'fqr. the plaintiff, and the Comarox SERJEANT and Mr. STAMCIE were for the defendant. By the will of the late Mr. Crean, he directed his business to be carried on by the plaintiff's, as his executors, who were to al low his widow an annuity, and permit her to remain in the house to assist in earring on the business of the tavern. From June to November last, both months inclusive, Lady Turner (who was stated to lui've lived generally apart from her husband) and servants took up their abode at the Star and Garter, having horses and carriages kept during that time. For half the time she was there a bill was sent to the defendant, who by letter sent, desiring time to examine the amount. When Lady Tur ner went away, another bill was sent to the defendant, for the remainder of the time. A letter was afterwards sent to Mrs. Crean, by the defendant, informing her that he had some re marks to make upon the bill. The next proceeding was the arrest of the defendant, for the whole amount of the bill. The cook employed at the Star and Garter proved the enter tainments which were provided for Lady Turner, during the time she was there. She generally hail fish, soup, and other delicacies, for dinner. Always four or five dishes. In general the dinners were very expensive. Mrs. Crean was called, to prove the manner in which the bill Was incurred. She had an annuity, and had no other interest in the concern, which was carried on by the plaintiffs, as her husband's executors. Her name was over the door during the time the defendant's bill was contracted, but she had no other interest in the business than as above stated. ----- The defence set up was, that Mrs. Crean managed the busi ness of the inn ostensibly on ,her own account, and therefore ought to have been made plaintifron the record ; but - • The CHIEF JUSTICE overruled the objection, and the Jury found for the plaintiff.—Damages to be settled out of Court. HILBEES V. PETTITPIERE. This Nias an action against the defendant for the breach of a contract for the purchase of 100 casks of best Russia yellow candle tallow, at 435. per cwt. Mr. GITIOTEY and Mr. ComYrr were for the plaintiff, and Mr. CAMPBELL for the defendant. In the month of Novemlier last the plaintiff, an eminent speculator in tallow, purchased, through the medium of his broker, Mr. Rayner, 100 casks of tallow, to he delivered in January last, at 435. per cwt. When the time arrived for de livering the tallow,, the market rose to 51s. per cwt., and the defendant had not the tallow to deliver. For the breach of the contract the action was brought. Mr. Hilbers had been largely concerned in transactions of this kind, and, according to the evidence of Mr. Rayner, many of his bargains were what are called time-bargains, or speculations upon the prices of tallow at different periods, or, in other words, gambling upon the flusiruations of the market ; no oil passing, but the vendor and vendee paying the differences, as the case might be. This transaction was denied to be of the latter description. . . Mr. CAMPBELL made two points in defence; 1. That there was no evidence of Mr: Rayne - r's authority to make the con tract on behalf of the defendant; and, 2. That this was a mere gambling transaction upon a tine bargain, and therefore void. The Lon e CHIEF JUSTICE put both questions to the Jury, telling them thafeitber, if it was satisfactorily made out, would be fatal to the action. • The Jury deliberated some time, and found (Or the plaintiff— Damages 296/. 10s. • REID V. PETTITPIERE. This was an action of the same nature upon a contract for the delivery of 100 casks of tallow, half of which the defendant had dtlivered,,but the remainder he had not. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found for the plaintiff—Damages 1111. I Is. sd. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 1. COSIER V. J. W. D. MEREST, ESQ. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated that this Was an action to—re cover the amount of two bills of exchan# of 6001. each, of which the plaintiff was the indorsee, for a valuable considera tion. In a common case, it would be sufficient to prove the writing of the drawer, acceptor, and indorser ; but as it would be attempted to be shewn by the defendant that these bills had not fairly come into the possession of the plaintiff, he would at once, though not obliged by law to do so, prove the considera tion given for these bills. The acceptance and presentment were admitted. Evidence was gone into for the purpose of proving the fur nishing of uoods by the plaintiff in 1821 to Hantz, who applied to him to discount these bills of the defendant, and the prices charged for them, &c. Mr. Serjeant LENS, for the defendant, said it was clear from the plaintiff's evidence that these goods had not been fairly pur chased by Hantz, but that he had been obliged to take them, or have his bills refused to be discounted. In such a situation it was more than probable that a price far above the real value had been set upon these goods. But perhaps something further might be gathered from the transaction, and that was, that these transfers of goods had nominally taken place in order to enable the present plaintiff to maintain the action, though it was really for the interest of Hantz. .„. _ Letters from Dante to the defendant were then read to shew that the defendant had entrusted him with the bills for the pur pose of getting them discounted; the defendant had never re ceived any value for them. Lord Chief Justice DALLAS summed up the evidence. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, One Thousand Pounds: PRICE SEVEN PENCE. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.

TIIE SPEAKER'S LETTER. Trinity College, S'ept..2o, 1822. Sin—When I first heard of the death of our late Represen tative, Mr. Smyth, the apprehension of inconvenience arising to the public from my vacating my seat in Parliament and the Chair of the House of Commons at the present moment, pre vented me from at once offering myself to the attention of the University. I have earnestly re-considered the subject, and be-. lieving upon re-consideration that no public inconvenience will ensue, and feeling, too, :is I have long most sincerely felt, that to represent the University of Cambridge in Parliament is among the proudest and most distinguished stations in the coun try, 1 trust I shall be pardoned, with this apology for my late. ness, for now offering myself-as a candidate, and anxiously re questing your support. It having been my fortune to have sat some years in Parliament, I am persuaded you would rather look to the conduct I have pursued, than to any professions I might make. I will only therefore add, that should I succeed in this great object of my ambition, 1 hope I shall never be found either careless of my duties, or forgetful of my obliga tions to yourself and to the University.
