PROCLAMATION. vrt Om HIS EXCELLENCY THE MARSHAL. DUKE OF RAGUSA, TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE INVADED DEPARTMENTS. " Glorious successes have. just crowned the French arms. More than 100 Russian and Prus sian regiments have been beaten, annihilated, 4- stroyed, in the battles of Champ-Aubert, Mont- mirsil, Cbateau-Thierry, and Vauchamp 20,000 risfmers, 180 pieces of cannon, two Generals in Chief killed, or mortally wounded, are the trophies of these dayi. The Emperors in person, is . pnisur ing the enemy, and will not stop till his destruc tion shall have been completed. It is *it this mo ment that all. Frenchmen should fly to arms, to hasten, by all possible means, the deliverance'of the country. " The moment has arrived when no considera tion ought to prevent your exertion, as never NVL:'e circumstances More favourable for making strangers repent having soiled by their presence the French land. " 'Fly to . arms'; make all weak detachments, all isolated men prisoners do' not turniz any means of subsistence to the enemy ; destroy all the bridges which might be useful in his r.jteat,. whilst we shall precipitate his flight. You have arms ; but those who ivant them will find abundance upon the fields of battle, abandoned by the entAny. The Frenchman, born proud and warlike, cannot without shame support the domi nion of a stranger ; and I repent it, never was there more f a vourable.motnent for freeing and revenging yourselves. God protects France; this. is an adage of our monarchy, and is founded upon the courage, the energy, • and the love of the country which he has placed in'the hearts of all Frenchmen.

AMERICAN PAPERS. WASHINGTON, JAN. 18.—Mr. Gaston rose to offer :a resolution on the subject, which would be adsuitted on all hands to be of the first import ance, in-the following words : " Resolved, That, pending the Ntgociation with Great Bri tnin, it is inexpedient to prosecute the militnry operations against the Canadas, for invasion or coniterst." After considerable .deb-ate on a point of order, the consideration of this resolution was negatived. Yeas 67—tines 92. BOSTON, JAN. 28.—The Court Martial for the trial 4.

Eoryon,--!—Your well known impartiality and love - of truth induces me to think - you trill readily insert this , Letter:in your loyal and pa-, triotie Journal, as- its object is to`prevent any misconception of the red/ conduct-of bur Indian Allies in -British North America, from the - errone . Gus statement in the Letter from Niagara, which appeared in your PA per of Saturday lust. So far from the conduct of the Indians being stich as is desctibed by your Correspondent, it has been di rectly the reverse, and •which • can be proved by several respectable individuals now in London from Upper and Lower Canada. The following Extract from a Letter; written by an 'individual of distinction and •great 'respectability at Montreal, conveys a correct view of the conduct of the In dians during the present war • " The Americans affect to_reprobate the In dian mode of warfare.; but look at their swn prac tice, which will be seen in-General Hur.t.'s ex ,terminating Proclamatinn, and in General SmyTn's • 'offering a price fur the ..spoils of each Indian killed ;' and further, in the fact, that the first scalp this war was taken by' an American scout at the river Canard, near Amherstburg. Look also at all the American newspapers; from Gino to Georgia, wherein will he seen stated, as matters of course, the burning of Indian villages 'and corn fields, wherein they boast that sick and wounded Indians were consumed', and that so many scalps were brought away as trophies, The house of . a Ken tuckv-man is generally ornamented With some Li chen scalps. The American back-woodsmen go ' to hunt Indians, as if they were wild beasts. " The Americans, in their public rapacity, be have with egnal injustice. Governor LlARRisosz, in 1811, with an army, went across the Indian line fixed by solemn treaty, without any previous no tification, to attack the Prophet's Town, which he burnt, after, however, being made to pay dear • ly,for his treachery. • . " As to the Americans practising what they af fect to reprobate, it might be sullibient to rest the proof thereof upon the facts, that scalping knives and tomahawks form part of the equipments of the ' Western Militia, and that the cartridges of ail their soldiers, regulars and others, a..e' mAde up with one ball and three buck shot. " In their account of the incursion into Lower Canada by-Colonel PYKE, one of their regular of ficers', some of their letters state that they burnt a hut occupied ks - a guard-house, at Odle Town, wherein they boast of consuming four or five In dians, whose hones they pretend to have found amongst the embers. This was false; as the whOle. escaped ; hut it proves the American practice, mind, and feeling, as strongly as if it had been true. " It is a memorable fact, that since the com mencement of the war, no cruelty has been cons mitted by the Indians ; but, 'on the eontravy, at Michilimakinac, Detroit, Upper and Lower Ca nada, they have been confined within.thestrictest bOunds of humanity and moderation, ,although previously threaten'ed by General -Hum, with no quarter. And nothing can more strongly 'evinc e the duplicity and want- of candour in • the Ame rican character than this further fact, that none of those who owed their lives to Indian forbear-. ancevauder the guide of British Humanity, have ever had the honesty publicly to acknowledge-the fact, or to publish a contradiction to the bare-. faced falsehoods daily circulated in the Anieriean Democratic Papers, (including the Government Paper, the National Intelligence)), about cruelties committed by the Indians under British excite ments. And although thousands of American Mi litiamen have, after capture, been suffered imme diately to return home, yet-in no instance-has a Canadian Militiaman, in either' province, 'who had been made a prisoner by the Americans, bee , o re leased before he Was regularly, but with difficulty exchanged, and before being marched,, in some instances, several inwilred miles through their country as if for a show." That the condact of the _American soldiery, officers, and men, has been 'disgraceful in . the ex treme, is unfortunately too well known, and has been too generally felt in Canada to admit of any doubt. ,Wheu the gallant TEcumSETII 2 ,011 r brave and faithful friend, the Indian .Chief, was found by the Americans, after one of the late actions; wounded in the field, they treated hint with the. Most inhuman barbarity, and actually jllyed him The behaviour of the Government of the United States, in additiou to the conduct. they have adopted' towards the British Officers; who, by the chance of war have fallen into their. power, has been equally disr•eputab,le, and proves. the inve terate malice they bear to all the British subjects of North America who have shewil any a!)ility, skill, and enterprize; for in the course oLthe I,lort year they offered a reward of one thousand dollars for the head of a British Merchant of Upper Canada, who is well known to possess a more accurate knowledge . of that country, its lakes, and rivers, than any other of its inhabitant's. This -Gentle man is now in England, and can give the most important information of the present state of tl,tt. country. Among the innumerable instances of Misconduct in the American Officers; I shall only mention the following anecdote After taking possession of one of the towns in Upper Canada, the American Officers found them selves ill-supplied with many necessary articles, and, in order . to induce them, to respect private property, every friendly attention was shewn them by the inhabitants ; amongst them a Gentle man of eminence in the Law, who invited the Ge neral and' his Staff to dine with him in June last ; but, after• partaki❑g of his well-known hospitality and retiring from his table - seemingly, m uc h pleased with it. they sent, within an hour or two afterwardsovithout any previous intimation, or at*, fordiog lsim the least opportunity of arranging his affairs, afile of soldiers, who took him by force, disregarding the entreaties of his wife and family, and conveyedliakthe same night into the interior of the United States, where be has been kept a close prisoner ever since. Notwithstanding, the Proclamatio - n of the American Generals held out Co the Settlers in Canada security jo , private pro perty'and persons The miseries and distress. snffest4 by ;he .hitituts of Upper Canada is not, I r e afraid, suf ficiently known, or the subsription Arb . trieirrelief would not have been so limited. It is with re gret I observe, that so small a part ot it. has been subscribed in the country. Whether it arises from the want of publicity or inclination, I will not ven ture to decide ; bat .do hope that our , fellow `subjects in BritiSh North America who have been, during nearly the whole of last year, in the Field, and ' prevented thereby following their ordinary pursuits, will not be disregarded and neglected bete ; they surely have a strong claim to the com miseration and generosity of the people Of the United Kingdom, and that such claim will not be •made in vain. I shall now conclude,with the expression of an anxious wish, that his Majesty's Government will not deign to entertain any Overture from the Go vernment of the United States, until - that Govern ment has recovered its reason, and placed itself again on a footing of a Civilised Nation. London, Feb. 27, 1814. WOLFE. CONTINENTAL MILLING. Dear SON , I always read your Paper, because I think it gives as early and as distinct an account of the great milling match in France as any other going. Ani sorry to see, however, from your last, that you are not up to the elegant in our style. You say the Allies " struck right and left, and both their blows have been stopped : they therefore rally," C,c. Permit tae, as a friend, to advise You not to aim at what is above your mark : stick to • your own w3y ofr % your story, and don't attempt the sublime, whir none but striking genuises can' reach. , At the same time not to punish' you too much_ will give you the long and the short of the as appears to me and the rest of the Fancy..

Both sides taking wind, and little done. 7th:—Like the last. b:th and Oth—The Ally planted two good bits with his right.

Both fell—betting as in last round. 12th—(Chateau Thierry)—lt appeared in this round that the Corsican had had the hest in the fall : the Ally appeared a gond deal cut, and blO freely—fought shy, and seemed only desirous of getting time to recover.—Odds thing to 6 to 4. 13th—(Eloges)—The Ally went in, in fine stile, beat his Adversary through his guard, and threw him. 14th—Orauchamp)—One of the best] fought rounds in the battle. Bo_th were bent on hitting, and little attention was paid to defence. Tbey closed and quitted several times, and some tre mendous facers were given and.taken. .The pu nishment, was nearly equtd, but the Ally ap-. peared weakest. Seeing this, Boney ultimate ly tried to close, and tin him a cross-buttock, but was, prevented by a lirrce rally, in which his guards were knocked down, and the Ally retired without falling. The Corsican received a despe rate blow on the rib's in this round—(Soissons.) 15th—Both shelved play, but it was more a display of science than of genuine milling. 16th-The, Ally advanced in line stile,. and it was easy to be seine that he had entirely the best of the round. Boncy retreated sheaving tight, but so slOvenly'as to starer without, returning blows. 176—(Nangis)---.4.1e ralliO, 'and put in . a chopper with the left hand, which ronfused his Adversary, who nevertheless made play, and put on'a good countenance.

Furious with pain and rage, he collected all his strength into one effort, and threw him self, head, hands, and knees, upon his, opponent," who met hint with vigour, but the shuck was so great as to throW him clown. 19th and 20th--Sparring; and mancenvring, both sides being dreadfully disfigured and out of wind. Boney; notwithstanding his quick and hard bit ting, seems most distressed, and the known bot tont and gigantic strength against which he has to bear up, will, it is supposed, very_ speedily beat hint out of the ring.—Odds 7 to 3.
