great military operation performed with • the
smallest possible loss—as another 'meal wreath

added to the glories of our Naval Cro.in—as a
just infliction of punishment upon the base and
,envenomed Foes of our Country--as a leSsim for

the present,:and an exainple for the future, how
dangerous and fatal it is to rouse the sleeping
Lion of the British Eles.

lt is unnectssarysfor us further to followrthe details
in the clear and comprehensive official- documents.
Nothing could more distinctly stew that the gal-
' lan try and digcipline of our forces were unmatched,
than these simple narratives. In truth, the enemy
- seem to have had no more chance than a rude rab-
ble contending against the firmestbraveryand most
accomplished skill—and after all, it was but raw
American levies contending against the victors of
Toulouse! What pleases us most is the account of
the short staywl,ich Mr. President MADISON and Mr.
Secretary ARINISTIZONG made in the field.—They are
tine feirows at—running away ; but we hope they
saw enough to teach them that they have grossly
erred ip their political
,system.,

We wait with some impatience for the details
of the Artions in the diversions against Balti-
more and Fort Washington, in which we have
to lament the loss of that gallant Officer, Sir P.
PARKER.

Before leaving this subject, we cannot help re-
ferring to Tun Sus of Saturday the 17th, in

•
which we commented upon the following antici-

peed -( not as usual, prognosticated) prophesy of
the Talent's organ of that date. " 041 r Admiralty
have suffered the whole summer to pass away with

out one effOrt to stop the progress of the United

State, either on the Ocean or the Lakes." What

a fine context have we got to this piece Of Party-
work ! August, to be sure, is not strictly 3peaking

a summer month ; but it is a had beginning of
of their autumn, to the Yankee friends of the

Chronicle.

We have. the Baltimore Daily Advertiser of the
24th August;and the National Intelli6-encer of the
23d. The former contains a long narrative of the
attack on Stouington., It mentions from Boston,
of the 18th, that the British frigate Leander; and
the Liited States' frigate Constitution, were lying
in sight of each other, and scents to anticipate an
action.- The Spencer, Majestic, Bulwark, Shannon,
and another ship, entered Cape Harbour, and
as they were afterwards seen from Plymouth Light-
house, it is probable:that -Massachussets has also
been visited by a diversion.--Four thopsand draft-
,
,ed Militia have been marched under Governor
TOMKINS to New York, and defensive measures
arc pursued with due diligence and in proper tri-
bulation of spirit. Among the bravest defenders
of America 1500 Irishmen are particularly boast-
ed of.

We learn that General PREVOST has interdicted
all intercouse with the United States on pain of
death: General IZARD, if attacked by a su-
perior force, is to retire to the strong works at
Platt'sburgh ; the British are making roads at
Odd-town so wide as to. allow of their march-
ing by platoons against the Americans. We
may therefore expect important adTices from
the side of Lower Canada.

There is a dispatch from Fort Erie, of the
14th, mentioning nn affair of the 12th, in which
a Major MORGAN, with lf/A) riflemen, was beaten
by the British, and the Commander killed.

'e cannot resist our impulse to copy the fol-
lowing from Washington, of the 24th :—After de-
scribing the march of many troops, the Writer
acids, "In a few hours thousands of brace men will
be prepared to resist the host of Mercenaries that
now threatens us.- Arrayed in de-tence of all
that renders life a blessing, and for pro-
tecting from insult and desolation the Metropolis
of their Country, hallowed by. the venerable name
*of WASHINGTON', every. arm %yin be nerved with
VALOUR IRRESISTIBLE! ! !"

We' have no ioou for further extracts.

French Papers to the 25th have supplied-us with
some hasty extracts. It. will be seen by•our pri-
vate letters from Spain, that there are two ways
of depicting matters in that country, as well as in
others.

which halo-like shone around the dazzling career
of nur WELLINGTON; notwithstanding the enthu.
s.kisin with which we from time to time received the
accounts of victory after victory achitved by that
hero ; we will venture to affirm, that scarcely any
one of his noblest actions gave greater satisfac-
tion to the British Empire than the exploit which
we have this day the pleasure to record will give. it
