AMERICAN PA

MONTREAL, JUNE 18.—We have licard with
great pleasure that Lieut.-Col. M'Dowall has ar-
rived safely at Michillimackinac, with twenty-
four batteauxs laden with provisions, stores, and
ordnance, and conveying a detachment of the
Newfoundland regintent, some seamen and ar:ii-
/lery.• The flotilla left Notawasaga Creek on the
south side of Lake Huron on the 22a of April, and
atter experiencing the greatest dangers, hardships
and difficulties, from immense fields of ice,
and encountering several violent gales of wind, in
one of which a batteaux was stove, but the crew
and lading saved, reached M ichillimackinac on the
18th May, having performed half the voyage, up-
wards of (30 leagues, in the last four days. We
cannot too highly praise the talents and energy
of the active awl enterprising officer who coin-
mantled this expedition, and the steady and per-
severing efforts of -the officers and men under him,
that have thus, amidst the most formidable oh-
stacks, conducted in safety so seasonable a rein-
forcement to this important post. The garrison,
we understand, is now placed in so formidable a
simc at ui 010 urnaut.,,
of the enemy to reduce it A large body of
of Indians had recently arrived there : new works
had"b'een constructed, and a.eonsiderable supply
of provisions laid in. We are happy also) to find,
that the Indian presents which had been sent by
tile Grand River, under the charge ut Captain La
Motile, had reached Michillimackinac in safety. -
On the 14th inst. Commodore 3: L. Ye°
was at Kintr
gston, taking in stores, with which,
it is said, he would proceed to Niagara. The
American Commodore remained in port.
At the latest dates from Lake Ontario, the Bri-
tish squadron had again sailed from Kingston.
The American squadron had nut then made its ;ap-
pearance on the Lake. .
NEWYORK, Jane S.—This afternoon the French
National brig Olive Branch, in 45 days from
L'Orieiit, with despatches from the new govtrn-
Mem in France to the French Minister in this
country, and the American government. The
captain informed u-s that Bonaparte had taken his
departure from Fontainbleau for a small island in
the Mediterranean ; that King Louis was, expected
in France from England in two or three days, and
that a Congress.for a general peace was shortly
to be assembled in Paris, at which all the crowned
heads in Europe, and the American Ambassadors,
were invited.—The 0. B. has the new national
flag displayed at the mast head, and the hats of
the officers and crew are decorated with white
cockades.

Accounts from Barbadoes state, that when. the
Swedes take possession of Guadeloupe, a large
British force would be disposable, and that the
25th, 63d, and 30th regiments, and three co►n-
panies of rillemen would sail for Canada..
The American Newspapers of the ruling Party
express a good deal of alarm at the present posi-
tion of that country. Some of them flatter them-
selves that they will be included in the general pa-
cification. _

The 90th Ret;iment, excepting a few invalids,
is gone up the River in the transports. The wilid
being now fair, they will reach Montreal to-day.
The Gloucester, 74, (lid not come to Quebec,
and has again sailed for the Wescindies.

AMERICAN OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE ACTION
AT SANDY CREEK.
Head-Quarters, Sarkett's Harbour, June Ist, 1214.
GENERAL ORDERS.
" The Brigadier-General has the satisfaction to
announce to the troops under his command, the.
defeat and capture of a British force, consisting
I of one hundred and eighty six marines and sailors,
L with two gun-boats and live barges, .under Capt.
Popham of the Royal Navy, by a detachment of
one hundred and twenty riflemen, and a few-Oneida
Warriors under the command of Major Appling,
of the Ist United States' Rifle Regiment. Major
Appling had been detached to protect the cannon
and naval stores at Oswego, destined for Commo-
dore Chauncey's fleet. they were embarked on

horn-d a flotilla of iiitts in charge or calm Wool-
sty, of 'the Navy, and had arrived safely into Sanity t
Creek :---They were pursued by the enemy, \Alio
was gallantly met by the riflemen, and after an
action of a few minutes, beaten and taken without
the lo :3s of a man on oily part—One, tifleman,
‘vounil. The Oneida warriors %vere not in ac-
tion until the enemy had began to retreat. The
riflemen were most judicioudy posted along the
bank, a short chstanee below Captain Woolsey's
boats, where the Creek is narroiv and shoal.--
Most of the men having been taken from the
boats, the enemy, amused perhaps with the idea
that even tlw sight of a British force, had been
sufficient to aitiml American riflemen, gave three
cheers at the prospect of the rich prize be-
fore him joy was of short duration, for.at
this moment the Ilint-fflen poured forth their dead-
ly fire, which in abort ten minutes terminated in
his total defeat ; leaving an Officer and thirteen
men killed, two ()Meets and twenty-eight 114C11
womided, (the Officers and many of the men
dangerously) and the residue,- consisting of two
Officers and 133 uttn taken • prisoners.—The
greatest praise is due to Major Appling for the
very judicious manner in which his gallant little
corps was posted, as well as for the cool (It:liberate
valour displayed throughout the action, and his
prompt exertions in arresting the tragic hand of
his warriors as soon as the enemy had struck.-
" Major Appling speaks in the highest terms of
the courage and good conduct of his officers and
men. The officers were, Lieutenants 11P-Intoeb,
Calhoun, M`Farland, Armstrong, and Smith, and
Ensign Austin ; Captain Ilarris, with his troop of
Dragoons, and Captain Melvin, with two field
pieces,
,had made a rapid march, aril would.in a
few minutes have been ready to participate in
the action, had the enemy been able to make a
stand.

CHANITIER OF DEITTIES.

PRESTDENCY 0? 7.4ONSIEUR LAINE.

A great crowd assembled to-day to hear the re-
port which was to he Made by M. Ileynouard up-
on the subject of the Liberty-of the• Press.
Mr. Reynouard ascended the .Tribune, and read
for about an hour-a most excellent and loyal dis-
course upon this subject. He Lail searcely:began
when the Minis-ters M. L'Abb6 Montesquibn and
Baron Louis entered the Chamber, and took their

seats. •
M. Reynonard began by recalling to the re-
of the Deputies, that for.. a long time
the liberty of the Press was substantially tolerated
in France, although it was never formally autho-
rised by law. Government gave way to the ir-
resistible force of opinion, and the Press conti-
nued in that state till 1782, when the liberty was
positively claimed, with the proviso that those who
abused it should be responsible for their writings.
A long and stormy period succeeded ; at length
Louis the Desired, restored to the wishes of his
people, acknowledged by the first acts of his au-
thority, the Liberty -of the Press, as an essential
part of the public morals. The Constitutional
Charter, which we hold from that Monarch, has
formally consecrated it. But this is not all ; the
very preamble of this very law acknowledges the
light of every Citizen to promulgate his opi-
nions. The Report then .proceeded to observe,
that the faculty of thinking, the noblest that
belongs to. man, would be imperfect if be' had
not the privilege of expressing it by writing.
It is certain, that our ancestors enjoyed the liberty
of the Press. Works of, religion were examined
in the time of Francis I. by the faculty of theo-
logy, but it was after they were published. It is.t.rue,
that Louis XIII. ordered ,the Chancellor and the
Keeper of the Seals to examine new books, but they
had the liberty to exempt authors in whom they
could place confidence from this examination.
The Reporter cited two historical facts, to shcw
the prOgress made in a few years in restrictinit the
liberty of the Press. 1699, Telemachus, a:
book in which there are so many allusions to
hurt the feelings Of the Court, was published
with the King's privilege, and 24 years afterwards
the prhiting of another work was prohibited in
France. We were obliged to foreign presses for
the production of the Ilenriade, one of the monu-
ments of our national glory. In countries which
have a .written constitution; the liberty of the
press is the greatest arid surest guarantee of civil
liberty. The right of petitioning, so solemnly
granted by the Charter, is inseparable from
the liberty of the press. 'The Reporter then
arned against that part of the proposed law
which permitted the printing of books in foreign
languages in France, while, at the same time, it
exposed a Frenchman to punishment who should
translate it. M. Reynonard then Went into a
detailed examination of the arguments against the
liberty of the Press„ which he contended were
futile ; and concluded by proposing, that the

CllarnLer should rject tLc vroposed Ittvc, an" t):
