"'I hear to,thiykiat Mr. )f.adison has received
some insolent lett.ers;.from Mons. S:erruriei, in
which he enters bitter complaints from his Master
Napoleon against: the American Government for
sending commissioners to treat with England—
demands supplies or funds; to enable him to carry
on the war.—that this. country shall join him in-a

The Secretary of the American Navy has issued
an order, forbidding all intercourse with the ene-

tion‘, or the Collectors of the several ports of the
United States.
The American Officers who escaped from prison
on the 27th ult. viz. Major Van de Venter, Capt.
Roach, and Lieut. Sidney Smith, have been
brought back. 'rbey were apprehended at La
Beauce by Captain Verrault and Lieut. Rene, of
the tztilitia of that place, in consequence of the in-
formation of a habitant, who had furnished them
with a cart, but who, frOin some conversation
with them, entertained a suspicion' of their not
being the persons they represented themselves
to be.

The second campaign is now brought t o a close.
The immense number, of American lives that have
been foolishly lost and lavishly squandered, fills
every feeling _heart with horror, but the distress
and sufferings Of that portion which have survived
the disgrace of their country defies description.
.On the first day of October, General Hampton
bad under his command more than 5,000 brave •
soldiers, in fine condition ; on. the 15th of No-
- vember, there were not 2,500 fit for duty. Wil-
' kinsort, on the first of, November,
,had 7,500 ;
on the
,15th of the.. same month 'he could not
muster four thoUsand in condition to take the
eld.--=•Why anti wherefore all this has hap-
. pened, the public is left at a loss to discover.—
, Imposition has succeeded imposition, disgrace and
infamy have 'followed each other in such rapid '
succession, that the most vivid imagination is in-
capable of tracing the various sources from whence
all these evils have_ proceeded. The demagogues
and panders that were practising their deceptive
• arts upon the '.good peOple, from ArmstrOng down
. to Tompkins, have -,on all occasions declared that
,the
.army was itfiSn'i enough, well supplied with
ammunition and provisions sufficient to insure the
capture -of Montreal ; but it is now fully asccr-

viz: whether.in an: indictment for ob-

averments as tveaelquirticular assertion by which
the money was obtitined.. The'-case was argued,
at considerable length by .111-CSsrs. Jervis . and
