4URRENDER OF THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN CANADA.

The boasts of General Hu4.1.; and,of. the Go-
vernment who sent him into Canada, our Reader;
will rejoice to hear, have terminated in a manner
most favourable to the British interests. Canada,
we were told in'thedernocratie papers of the United
States, was to be conquered almost inimediately ;
it was to be nothing but.veni, rid/. Thei
grand army, howevor, marches under the com-
mand of the redoubted Generai HULL ; and
after a great deal of vapouring about capturing a
block4lOnse, and wounding one or two men, this
grand army and its valiant General find themselves
comp4leci to, surrender prisoners of war. So
—much for-American hostilities in Canada. Two
thousand five hundred .men were thus made pri-
2,soners, bud Fort Detroit, and 33 pieces of cannon
taken, with -no other loss on our part than

;.three killed and thirteen wounded. How will
•' 7. and .his party contrive to gloss over
'disgrace, or persuade the,American people to
.ekc't those whO have thus shetvn their malignant
eagerness to attack Great Britain, and their utter
incaiacity to ilirafthe storm they had raised.,--It
-Will be seen, by our extracts from the New York
V rapers, which reached town last night, to the

2Sth of August, that a Council was sitting at
' Washington, hut nothing had transpired as to the
-Jesuit of its deliberations, or as to the determina-
tion of the Government respecting its relations with
this coniitry. The intelligence of the Surrender of

t. eir General and his army in Canada, will doubt-
Jes quicken their deliberations, and lead them,

without delay,'to the deterthination, for the sake
"of their own safety and immediate interests,, of
putting an_encl to the war as speedily as possible.

The following Bulletin of the dispatches from

Sir GEORGE PnEvosT,"announcing the above gra-
tifying intelligence from Canada, was issued this
13ay, and 'the subjoined Letter was sent to the
LOitD ,MAYOR

COLONIAL DEPARTMENT.

Forces, commanded by Major General BROCK.

xne wounded.

long marches which were requisite to accomplish
it: We arc assured, and it is very probable, that
the combined. army was in Albacete and its vici-'
nity, to impede the junction of SOOLT and Su6nET;
in this case the situation of the fort is most cri-
tical. 1

There came with him 370 coaches, 'more than 800
waggons, and an innumerable number of baggage
carts, in Which came many families, from Madrid.
In the.journey through Mancha., they suffered
much fatigue, as the army was three days without
bread, had no water to drink, and many died of
fatigue, heat, and privations ;. the party of CHA.
LECO which hung upon their rear daily, took many
of them ; this anny-drrived at Albacete, hungry and
fugitive.; there began the desertion of theJuramen-
tados who deserted by entire companies.
They:Write' from Valencia, that JOSEPH will
not remain there long, sand that it is his intention,
to proceed to. France. Since the arrival at Ali,
cart of the generous Englishman, D. Non° TUP-
PER, he has forwarded more
,than 300 loads of
stores into the interior, overcoming the diffi-
culties which began at the very gates of Alicant,
and it is notorious that to those aids are in part
owing the brilliant operations of. MINA, DURAN,
EL EMFECIwADo, and. other valiant patriots' of
the neighbouring provinces.",

LETTER FROM 1. MANSO, DATED HORTZ, AUG. 23,

TO GENERAL LA'CY.

" I have succeeded in executing the orders of
your ExCellency to the utmost of your wishes.—
Having taken post with a part of the troops under
my command, the 400 Vandals, which were going
to take away the garrison of Molins del Rey, have
fallen in my power ; those who were not killed
have been taken prisoners ;.none excepted."
LoxA, SEPT. 10.--It is asserted that General
BALLESTER' O'S is marching for Grenada,. which is
already evacuated by the French.

By accounts recoived this morning by Goyern-
ment from Cadiz, it appears that SOULT,,WaS at
Granada on the 16th instant.

The Spaniards had gained some advantages
over his rear on the 15th.
General COOKE was at Seville on the 1 ith.
General HILL on the 13th was preparing to pass
the Tagus at Almarez.
The Cortes have declared the Marquis of WEL-
LINGTON Generalissimo of Spain.

We are sorry to learn, that the Guerriere frigate,
Captain DACtp':S, has been cap,tured
.by the
,Con-
stitution American 'frigate, lafter a gallant action
fought, to the part of the Guerriere, under the most
disadvantageous circumstances, she having in the
Very., first onset lest her mizen-4nast, which
made her perfectlY Unmanageable, and' soon
after, the whole of her iiu ..went overboard.
The fierriere had only at quarters 244 Men the
Coustion.476, carrying 30 24-pounders on her
main-deck, 24 32-pounders, and 2 18-pounders
on her upper-deck ; the Guerriere had 13
'slid 63 wounded, and was found in such a state
that the Americans were obliged to sot her on
fire. Commodore RoGEks, has arrived at Boston
after an unsuccessfe4cruize, having destroyed five
or six Small vessels of little or ,no value. Their
crews are dreadfully affected with the scurvy.

MR. SADLE4.

Mr.,Sadler ascended from Belvidere-House, near
.Dublin, October 1, at. 1 P.M. with the Wind at
south-w esW and in 35 minutes had sight of the
mountains ih \Vales be continued in the same
direction till three o'clock, when being nearly'
over the Isle of Man, the wind blowing fresh, he
found himself fast approaching the Welch coast,
and at four o'clock he bad a. distinct view of the
Skerry Light:house, and the prospect of consum-
mating his ardent hopes of a speedy arrival in Li-
verpool. The wind now shifting, he was again
taken off, and loSt sight of land • when, after bo-,
vering- about for a long time; fie dis Covered five,.
vessels beating down Channel; and in Impes. of
their assistance, he determined on descending.
with all possible expedition, and precipitated him
self into the sea. 'ln this most critical situation,
lie' had the mortification to find the vessels took
no notice of him ; obliged, then to re-ascend,
he now threw out a quantity of ballast, and quick-
ly regained his situation in the air, to look out
for more friendly aid. It was a length of time
before he had the satisfaction of discovering any,
and then observed a vessel, which gave hith to
understand, by signal, that Slte intended' to assist
him, but could not reach him. Two others also
now appeared in sight, and one of them tacking
about, hoisted the Manx colours. Night now
coining on, he was. .determined to-avail himself
of their friendly aid, and once more descended into
the sea; but here the wind acting upon the bal-
loon.as it lay upon the water, drew the car with
so Much velocity, that the vessel could not over-
take it; and 'notwithstanding he used his utmost
efforts, and latterly tied his cloaths to the grap-
pling iron, and sunk them to keep hiin steady, still
the balloon was carried away so fast, that he was
under the necessity •of expelling the gas ; upon
that escaping, the caractually sunk, and he had
now nothing but the netting• to cling to. H.; ti4iI-
OUS situation, and the fear of getting entangled, de-
terred the Men from coming neat him ; until, being
in danger 'of drowning, Mr. Sadler begged they
would run their btiwsprit through the balloon,
and c::(pel the remaining gas. Ilavint, done this,
they threw out aline, which he wound round his
arm, and was then. dragged a considerable' way
before they could get' him on board, quite ex-
hausted.

The ship was a herring fisher, from Douglas, in
the Isle of Man, called the- Victory, commanded
by John Lee.
In this situation he was conveyed to Liverpool,
where, finding the crowd of spectators immense,
his clothes beir4,also wet, and in great disorder,
he paid a visit on board the Pr;nces.ca frigate,
where he was most politely received, and ob-
ligingly accommodated with clothes, by Lieut.
Roche.

Saturday, October 3/, Mr. Sadler arr'scd• at Ho-
lyhead, at three o'clOck •in the aiternoon, on his
way to Dublin ; and requested M &Howes (the
Agent of his Maiestv's Packets) w(ip.ld transmit
this hasty -sketch: of his proceedings to his- friends
in Loudon

" liclyhcad, Oct. 4.

Stn,—Mr. Sadler arrived here yesterday
evening, and shortly after entbarki on board the
packet fo Duldin. lam happy to say, that not-
withstanding the great fatigue and anxiety he has
nndevgone, he vias in good health and spirits, and
intends once more making an attempt to cross
front Dublin, when the mown is sufficiently old
to enable hint to see, his way. The approach of
night, and fearing he might be involved in dark-
ness on his nearing the coast, induced hirn to de-
scend at sea. The extraordinary circumstance of
of not receiving assistance from the first vessels he
discovered: when he first descended, is only to be .
accounted for by the terror his appearance must
have occasioned to people not used, or, perhaps,
not expecting such a sight : one can hardly con-
ceive it could have been 'from any other cause, or
the want of humanity in their crews.
Mr. Sadler Will furnish you With a more de-
tailed account when he has more time, and it will,
no doubt, be a very interesting one,

The Vrince Regent's declaration; rescinding the
Ordei-s of Council on ourown terms, has caused a'
of confusion and distress in' the Cabinet of
W:Oiiiigton not to he desrribetl., r One theone
hand, if. the President‘compiies terms of
the Norilluiportation, and. issues a proclamationi,
declaring the fact that the Orders are 'retoked,7
the cause of wars as •one of his 'own officers has
declared, is extinct; on the other, if he—fefuses-
to take any notice of the fact, he loses many of
his. partisans. in- the'United States, 'consequently.
loses his election, and henceforth is no more than
Sampson in a wig. On this puzzling occasion,
