SUAIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1814.

We have at last received the American of account of
their own disgrare. The ititelligencei has coilected its scat-
tered types a id presses, and once more ushered forth its spe-
culations to the world. 'Milani) however, fur Mr. Madi-
son, nothing of a cheeting nature could be published to re-
gain the support and esteem of his country, which his am-
bition and imbecility have deservedly lost. r The capture of
WaAii•igton has been fillowed by the capitulation of Alex-
andria, on the south bank of the Potowinac, the blowing up
of Fort Warburton. the stoppage -f pavments.inmotiey by
the New York and Philadelphia Bai,k., the general stagnation
of trade, the total deficiency of mea;,s on :he ',Art of the
(lovernment to carry on a defensite, still less an offensive
wa-, and univeisal despondency and dismay. .1 he presence
of our squadrons a' so many points on the coast, keeps
~yery city and piovirce in a sta e of constant alarm—
File very foundations of the Union 'are shaken, and
',orris: nia openly averw,-. a disposition to place herself under
our rule,provided we can send a sufficient lot ce tit pr,,tect her
against the revenge cf the i'te•ident. In this state of things.
Mr. M.idis.ot bta%el% roll rued to the metropolis after
we had quitted it, and who in his flight was obliged to drop
his name in order to escape (loin the arms of public in-
dignation, endeavour to avert the popular odium from himself
hv ing it oo those who sha ed the disastrous results of his
measures Thu:, (;en. Armstrong has been replaced in the part

missed. Ti.e meeting of the Copg,ess approaches ; but
11,,w will the President dare to encounter, ainicht the ruins
of the the Representatives of towns and pro•itiees
which his folly has plunged into ruin ? Such a state of
things catinot last lotig: the voice of the Congress will pro-
bablv be fur peace; but they will now he compelled to pur-
chase it, on 'conditions which will materially curtail their
power, and increase whilst they secure our possessions on
the Amet lean continent.

A letter has been received from an Officer high in com-
mand in Sir J Sherbrooke's army, of a date subsequent to
the last dispatches. At that period, the expedition under
Sir John --as al) )u. to leave the !)e,,obseot fop Portsmouth.
in New Hampshire, with the view of dei.troying a new 74
gun shin building here, as well as some minor vessels of war.
