Notwithstanding that every one here believed the battle, or
rather the pursuit, from Fighting Island, which I referred to
in my letter of the Pith, was the last, the public were sur-
prised on Saturday to learn that another similar affair had
taken place on Point au Pelle, an island two leagues and a
half in length, in Sandusky Bay, Lake Erie. The results
were :—Patriots, 9 killed, 40 wounded, and 20 taken prisoners.
Royalists, s killed and 28 wounded.
A letter from Sandusky to a gentleman in this city states
that the patriots abandoned the place on the approach of the
British, but a company of the 32d regiment having made a
detour to intercept their retreat, they were compelled to fight,
and after returning the British fire for about eleven minutes,
although in disorder, they were charged with the bayonet, and
the above are the results. The letter makes out their loss to
be more than double the number returned as killed, but as the
writer could not state the fact with accuracy, it is possible that
his report might be in error.
It ought to be distinctly understood that the assemblage on
Point au Pelle is the last body of invaders that we have heard
of as having been in arms against Canada. I sincerely hope,
therefore, that we may now drop the curtain over the final
scene of the bloody tragedies on the frontier.
Lord Palmerston took a very just and philosophic view of
the frontier disturbances, in his place in Parliament, where he
said that "he thought the House might trust tint, although
there might have been, on both sides, acts committed not con-
sistent with the laws, and in violation of treaties that existed
between the two countries, the [louse might confidently trust
that nothing had taken place to prevent the friendly relations
which existed between Great Britain and the United States."
His Lordship's sentiment in this particular is precisely that of
the respectable, the thoughtful, and the influential portion of
the community in America. It is evidently responded to,
bath by the Government and the people, with the exception of
those reckless adventurers who were persuaded by Mackenzie
and his confederates to join in the Quixotic and hopeless ex-
pedition against the British provinces, which has resulted in
the misery, the defeat, the wounds, and the death of so many
of the deluded, misguided, and miscalled " patriots." Again
and again do I assure you that the citizens of this country, as a
body—with the exceptions I have named—the respectable
portion of the press, the Government, Congress, and especially
the merchants of the republic, have viewed the frontier pro-
ceedings with mingled sorrow and indignation.
Mackenzie is canvassing New York and the Atlantic cities
for subscribers to a new paper, which he is about to establish
in New York. In his prospectus he states that it is to be do•
voted to English, Scotch, Irish, and Canadian politics, and
that it will in no way intermeddle with the affairs of the

United States.
Other advices have arrived from the Gulf of Mexico, stat-
ing that the Mexican fleet are blockading the ports of Texas.
But, with reference to the ultimate success of the Mexicans, I
do not believe the Texians have much to fear, as they are said
to be in strict alliance with a powerful nomadic nation of sa-
vages, who have been hostile to the Hispano- Mexicans ever
since the days of Cortez ; and so brave and successful have
they proved against the conquerors of Montezuma, that they
have now vindicated their rights and preserved their freedom
for more than three hundred pears. I allude to the Cumanche
Indiana. They are peculiarly warlike, wild, and sanguinary,
and they may be termed the Tartars or Arabs of the Ameri-
can continent, as they continually live a wandering life in and
about Texas. For the last century they have been the scourge
and terror of the frontier provinces of Mexico, owing to an
event which is said to have taken place about A. D. 1699 0
1701. A large party of them went to• the sea-shore, where
they were attacked and all slaughtered by the Spaniards. The
Cumanches have never visited the sea-shore since ; but they
have taken an oath, like that of Hannibal, against all the Spa-
nish race ; and hence they have gladly allied themselves to the
Texians. Dangerous confederates ! Their warriors are all
splendidly mounted, and as horsemen, they are not surpass'ed
by any people in the world.
