their place of destination. There we find them
exhibiting a. spectacle that would wound the
feenngs of the most callous man —Without
terits—without blankets to corer them—with-
out camp-kettles to cook the miserable pro-
visions fnrnished them by the Government.
Contractors ; or any one necessary of camp
equipage. Their Officers -with the utmost dif-
ficulty '•pritventitig- their 'marching home for
self-preservation. Here, 'Mr.. President, wish
to call the attention of the Senate to the propri-
ety and, constitutionality of culling ont.this de-
tachment of 'militia', at a tithe When no enemy me-
naced invasion. The Constitution only authorises
the general Government to call out the militia to
suppress insurrection, to enforce the laws, and
. repel invasion. And .1 would ask, whether efther
of these events bad happened when this corps of
militia were ordered out 1•16 ; it is well known
that no such emergency existed. :But they have
this miserable consolation, that they are to receive
six dollars and two-thirds a. month for their ser-
vices, finding their . own. cloaths, 'arms, and ac-
coutrements.
" I do not mention these things with a wish
. to discourage the militia from serving their coun-
try when necessary, nor. do I believe defending
them in their corisitutional tights will have that
effect ; for I am fully aware that there is no class
of citizens more patriotic, or more to de-
'. fend their country than. they arc, and will be
so
founfl when the safety of: it shall really demand
their services. , •
I will now resume the consideration of bur
situation up the Lakes to Detroit and Fort Mal-
den. Here it must he remembered that the Bri-
tish .cot ntiand the Lakes. We ate told that Go-
vernor Poll is marching to the defence of Detroit
with twelve hundred militia from the state of
Ohio, together with four hundred regular troops,
formed and disciplined for action by the brave Co-
lonel Boyd.- These troops. s hope
.will be better
supplied -and provided for than thOse orx the fron-
tier of New York. It is whispered, by some of
the favourites who are suffered to • know the pro-
jects of our Government, that' the 'Britisb have
sent a part of their regular 'troops, logether with.
a number of Indians, from Fort Malden- to Fort
Erie, near the Fans of Niagara ; .and.this is taken
as certain evidence of the weakness of the garri-
son at Fort Malden, that that fort may conse-
quently be surprised, and taken by Governor Hull
with little difficulty. .Now I draw the exact con-
trary conclusion from this circumstance; for the
British must have known that. Governor Hull was
on his march to Detroit,. and if they had been weak
at Fort Malden, they never would have detached
art of their force, and'sent it to the aid of. Fort
Erie.—But presuming they had not beard of Go-
vernor .march, and that they had left that
fort comparatively'defenceless,-they will assured-
ly learn it soon enough to have the detachment
return by water before Governor Hull can reach
Malden. And if in the attempt to take Fott
Mal-
den, Governor Hull should meet with a defeat,
the consequences are alarming; for no reinforce-
ment can be sent him; nor assistance• afforded,
soon enough to prevent a disastrotiS. termination
of the expedition. In that case the British, with
a partial aid from the Indians,, might cross the ri
ver, and take possession of Detroit—and if they
should then obtain the assistance of the Indians
' generally, it will be in their power to drive in all
the ftorttier settlementS of. Ohio and there can
be little doubt, when this war is once commenced,
that nearly all the Indians will flock to the British
standard." •

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1812.

Last night we received Paris Papers to the
30th ult. They neither contain any 'fresh in-
forrnation froni. the Armies, nor do they gratify
out anxious'desire of knowing the details of the
insurrection in Paris. Upon the latter subject
they are, indeed, perfectly silent. , This silence
appears to us to be extremely singular ; the Ma-
niteur informed us that the plan of the ex-Ge-,
nerals had completely failed, that their persons
were .seized,, that the good people of Paris,
testified their joy upon the occasion by shouts of
f'ive L'Empereur ; and that tranquility was com-
pletely restored. it was added, that the conspi-
rators. had been taken up, and that a commission
vas appointed to try them,--that is, order them
to be ,shot. 'Surely, it was very important that
the people of France should be informed of all
these things, and yet they arc not noticed in one
of the unofficial -Paris ,Journals. It What was
stated, in the. Moniteur was true, what possible oh,
jec,tion could there be to have the fact made
known throughout France ? That there bad
been an insurrection in Paris was known, be-.
cause : it was officially notified in the Moniteur ;
but if the other part of the statement in ti,at
paper had been true,-=if the insurrection had
been completely. .quelled,—if tranquility had-
been restored,—can it be imagined that the
,Itnotlicial Papers would not have been allow,
ed, nay _would not have -been induced to com-
municate the glad tidings to every part of France?
We think, therefore, there is fair ground to be,
lieve'that the statementr in the Moniteur was 'not

true, neither with regard to the extent of the in-
surrection, nor its suppression.

These .Papers contain a singular account of a
balloon which wa3 said to•baye been prepared at
Moscow,..for the purpose of annoying the French
army. The _letters from Moscow are one day
later than the last Bulletin; but, as we have
already stated, they contain no military information.

We are happy to learn from our correspondent
at Brighton, that Government has directed its
serious attention to,the:eM which has long been
complained of, viz. the resort of foreigners to the
•
sea coast. We understand that. Mr. BROOKE, the
Chief Clerk of the Alien. branch of Lord
SiD-
MOUTH'S Office, arrived at the New Ship Inn,
Brighton, on Wednesday evening, attended by a
Messenger; that' an active inquiry was immedi—
eely set on foot, and several foreigners were
called before that Gentleman for examination,
though .at a late hour. This prompt Mode of
proceding was :very judicious; and encourages
us to hope that Lord SIDMOUTH will continue to
pursue a system of rigour with respect to fo-
reigners, the necessity A which we have expatiat-
ed upon. We understand that, among others,
inquiries Were made after three of the prin-
cipal perfOrmers belonging 'to the Opera, who
had been residing .at Brighton for . same ;time
without the sanction of Government, but they had
quitted it about , a week since. Mr. BROOKE
,was. in private conference with the Magistrates,
the next morning, at the Hall, fOr a considerable
time It is really past bearing, •thaf persons
of the description We have alluded to should pre-
sume unhlushingly to infringe 'our laWs, and we
hope 'they will be made to feel, that they may not
do so with impunity, merely because they contri-
bute to the amusement of tile' higher classes of
society.

It was this morning reported, that accounts had
been received, stating that the American Com-
modore RODGERS bad been taken. We could not,
however,' trace the report to any authentic source.
No information upon' the subject has reached
Government:

The Baring extra-ship, from Bengal, arrived at
Portsmouth the 6th inst., in company with the
Barossa sailed from Bengal 21sth June, arrived
at Madras 7th July, sailed from thence 13th July,
arrived at St. Helena 12th Sept. and sailed froth
hence the 14th, in- company with the country ship
Barossa, from Bengal. The Lord Castlereagh and
Warren Hastings had left Bengal for China ;
the Surrey bad sailed from Madras for Bengal ;

sailed ; the Bengal arrived at Madras the 9th July;

The Right Hon. .I.nIRS WALTER, Lord Foil-
RESTER, yesterday took the oaths before.his Ho-
nour, the Master of the Rolls, at Lincoln's
Inn Hall'„ in order. to qualify, his Lordship to vote
at. the approaching Election of the Sixteen Peers
• of Scotland.
The letters from Stockhohn and Gotteabur,gh,
adverting to the
,disappointment in regard to the
Expedition, allege as a reason for the disem-
barkation of the troops, and their return to quar-
ters, that the Russian Government had signified,
that from the success ofthe native recruiting, there
• would be no occasion for their services. Sweden-
was in' much want of the most essential article of
subsistence, • and 25 ships in ballast had arrived at
Cronstadt from. Stockholm, to return with grain.
We understand that the whole of the troops of
the German Legion,' now at Bexhill, amounting
to 3540 men, are to embark immediately at Ports.-
Mouth for Corunna, in order tos.join the Marquis
WELLINGTON.
That fine, regiment the 47th; commanded by
Major BROAD, on leaving .Seville, to'join Gen..

On Wednesday right an alarming fire broke

The house was soon destroyed, and two other
houses were much damaged.* The arrival of the

On,Friday night last, about 7 o'clock, Mr. Ed-
word Davison, of Team, was attacked on Derwent
Crook- Waggon-way, near Gateshead ?ell, Nor-
thumberland, by a person who came behind him
knocked him down with a bludgeon. The vil-
lain first struck him on the shoulder, and then.on
the head, which he cut; and when Mr. D. was
lying on the ground, he again repeated his blow,
on which Mr. D. cried out " Murder !" For-
tunately his son was on the road to meet him, and
hea.ring the cries of his father, ram. to his assist-
ance. The Villain hearing the voice of another
person„ made off without accomplishing his pur-
pose, being that very instant in the act of rifling
