On Saturday some more American Papers aria
letters reached us, via Liverpool. The following
are extracts -

, Secure the navigation of Lae Champlain,
the American' ExeentiVe have -pkirchased and arm-
ed the hunter, Champlaiki
,jui)ite.rlitnd
Fox' sloops., They have likewise contracted for
1600 batteaux, which Were: nearly -comp-U.:tett -;
they are 37 feet long and 'eight wide, and will
carry about 45 men each. The British were ac;-
tively fortifying' the Isle Auk Noix,., and had a
number of gun-boats at St. John's. ,
The report in some of the American Papers that
Fort Wayne had been taken by a body of Indians
froth the Miebigan territory, is contradicted in a-
letter from Cincinnati, of the Ist of September,
being eight days later than the former account.—
The fears of the inhabitants had given currency to
the statement; though it was' extremely impro-
beble, as Fort Wayne is, a regular Square fortifi-
,cation, with bastions at each angle, mounting 16
guns, and garrisoned by - 300 men. Singe the
'rumour of its capture, General Ilarrison hatl. de:
tached thither 6000 men from Xentucky, which-
had been intended to rriuforce Gen. Hull_

• The inhabitants of many of the United States
frontier towns arc not only averse from hostilities
with their British neighbourS, but have declared,
in Resolutions passed at public meetings, their
determination to take no share in the war into
which they have been precipitated by their Go-.
Nernment, Howeversingular such a determination
may appear, it is certain that a -commercial
intercourse is still carried on on the faith of its
strict Observance. Even the British Commanders
have recognised it.
Au official notice,,, dated 'Halifax; August 5,
signed by Gen. J. 'S:' Sherbrooke ancl Admiral H.
Sawyer, 'ordered their land a:Ai naval forces re-
'spectively, " toyespeet the persons and property
of .the inhabitants of New Bruns%Vick and East-
port, SO long as they shall carry on their, usual
and accustomed trade, and intercourse with any
parts of the 13'r Provinces ; nor shall this sys-
ten: of perfect' neutrality be departed from without
unite and timely notice 'being given to the inhaT
bitants thereof."

ORR, the 2ri September, Mr. Eustis, the Secretary
at War of the United States, forwarded; through
the medinrit of Gen. Dearborn, some dispatches,
said to be of an important *nature, to Sir G. Pre-
vost, .Governor of Canada. The bearer was Ma-
jor W.. A rford, id-Oil-Camp to General Mooers,
who coinmaruis at 1.-lattsburgh. MUch conjecture
Nvas excited conc'ern'ing -the subject of the dis-
patches, as their transmission was' so quick after
the receipt of the intelligence of General Hull's
surrender. :

General Hull passed through Albany on the Bth
September, as it was believed, on his return to
the scat of Government. His accuser, Col. Cass,
had arrived at Wahhington some days preceding.
It is mentioned, in letters from America, that it
wes the intention of the Executive to put the Ge-,
neral under arrest, preparatory to an investigation
into his conduct by a Court Martial. There con4l
be no impeachment of his courage and, capacity
it was therefore insinuated by the Government
Print's, that he was a Federalist, and that the sur-
render of,the army in. Canada was the result, of
treason, in order to throw opprobrium on the Go-
vernment which bad selected biM to carry into
execation a favourite and Well-arranged plan.
