ARMISTICE.

HALIFAX AVG. 14.--,-The following is copied 1
from the Albany Gazette of Monday last.
"_ On Saturday last,arrived in this city Colonel
13A-c.viz.s, Adjutant-General of the British forces
'1 Lower Canada, accompanied by Major CLARK,
Aid-de-Catilp to General PVTIT, commanding
• the Amerkan troops on *le_ Canada line. Int-
‘
mediately on his arrival lie waS introduced to
Getieral-DEARBORN, at his head-qUarters at Green-
bush, with whom, and his Excellency Governor
.To:,trxiisjs, we are infbrmed be remained closetted
till a late hour. Report says, he came' to commu-
nicate •to the Commander-in-chief of the Ame-
yican army, official information of the repeal
of the Orders in Council, and that instruc-
tions had been sent out by the British Government
to Mr. FOSTER, tot open negociationsF with oily
Government on -all the points in difference be-
tween the two nations ; but that, in cot sequence
of, FosTEn's having withdrawn from the United
States, the Governor-General of Canada proposed

an armistice orSilsptrlsioti of arms, till the ailser
of the American Government . could be - obtained
to the overtures which would be Made to the Bri-'
tish Court. - What has been the result of the conL
ferences between General DEAaBoIiN and Colonel
114YNES;Itie have not been able to learn, although
we are led to believe as/most probable, that a par-
tial. armistice, and for a liort time, has been agreed
upon.

" Another report says, that Col. BprNEs was in
possession of the instructions seiit to' Mr. Fns-
TEit, and that. lie-came.. to the city with inten-
%
tion to proceed to the seat of Government, but
that 'permission. to that effect could not be ob -
tained from. Gen. DEARBORN. '

" Colonel BAY NE left town yesterday, on his
return to Canada: In addition to the above, we
are informed that there are-letters in town from
Albany, statingethat an armistice was ,actually
concluded at 9 o'clock, on -Saturday evening, to
continue for 30 days."

FROM THE FEDERAL REPUBLICAN AND COMMERI,

CIAL GAZETTE.

. .
GEORGETOWN, AUG. s.—The truth must, be.
told, ,although it be ..shocking. The mangled
corpse of General LENGAN 'Was thrown out of the
prison, and lay on the earth, like that of a dog, till.
the middle of the next day, when It was obtained
and buried_by a relative. We understand tha't a
general and unbounded indignation at the
man murder of General LENGAN, and exaSpera-
tion at th.e,approvinginactivity ,of the Magistrates
pervades.. Montgomery, and that they are felt in
other parts of the State. Many of the citizens
have 'put on mouthing for him, which they
mean not to lay aside, .111-ail his ,death is pro-
perly avenged. • For such a man, so perishing,
tears and grief, the common pomp of wOe,•which
more frequently follow the unworthy and undis-
tinguished to their earthly, places of repose,, art
not enough. Ought not his memorY to be
honoured by
.some more remarkable proof of
public sorrow. What is due to him, in,
particular, .frown Montgomery; and from every
inhabitant of Maryland, who know how to • value

his former services, and whO deplores him the
more, on account ,of the manner in which

he was cut' off ? The answez to this- question
ought, we. think, to be given by assemblages
of the people convened expressly for the, purpose
of consulting upon the subject. Meanwhile, every
man, woman, and child, in Montgomery might
wear some convenient badge of mourning for the
chief so much 'beloved, and who perished so
cruelly.

We this daY lily before our Readers the 15th
Bulletin of the French 'army, dated at Slawkovv,
the 27th of August. It does not bring an account
of any new actions, but merely some further de-
tails of the battles of Valentina, and Smo-
lensk. The -loss of the Russians is represented
as amounting to between twenty-five and 30,000
men. No further infor:nation is given respecting
the anionnt of the loss of the French, which we
have no doubt was at least equalto that of theßus-
siansi because the latter, particularly at Smolensk
fought behind intrenchments. BUONAPARTE has
ordered Marshal VICTOR, who was at Tilsit with
30,000 men,*to advance to Wilna. This reinfcfrce-.
ment is necessary to supply the dread.fill havoc
that has been made in the French rank

There is no foundation for the rumour which
has been so industriously circulated, that it is the
intention of Government to send troops to the
North of Europe.

We, have still every reason for believing, that it
is the intention of Ministers to dissolve the Par-
liament some time abouf the 10th of. next month.

Tt has been said thatthe Conservators of the plve-
ment, or rather those who ought to act in that
capacity, were induced to let. the streets remain
in their present 'watery state; and in which they
have indeed appeared through the summer, from
a desire to prevent (ite people, of the metropts
from being.annoyed with dust.
