that in the late expedition of General 141,Arthur to
Long Point, on Lake Erie, he fell in with an tan.
armed detachment of the 41st Regiment which had
been just exchanged; those brave, but unfortunate
med were inhumanly fired upon ; several are said to
have been killed, and many made prisoners and car.
ried off. 144Arthnr's corps committed the most
dreadful ravages at Long Point, by burning every
kind of property and actually murdered some indivi-
duals, usefoursig citisesu.

" Kingston, 10th November, 1814.
" Lieutenant-General Drummond parts with his old Friends,
the 41st Regiment, with much regret, and wiU be happy to see
them again under his command, when the season of active opera-
tions returns, should it suit the arrangements of his Excellency
the Commander of the Forces. (Signed)
" J. Hosvgv, Lieut. Col. and Dep. Adj. Gen."
Our harbour presents a scene that was never before
witnessed at this season—tupsaards of seventy vessels,
of different sizes, are low unlading their cargoes,
composed chiefly of British manufactures; and all
the activity incident to a crowded port in the summer
is seen at a period when formerly the navigation was
considered as closed, or a solitary fishing craTt re-
mained to terminate it. What a contrast the war
has brought in the relative situation of this province'
and the United States ! In the one, commerce is
more than treble; in the latter, it has given place to
the despicable supply of foreign commodities through
die infamous system of robbery on the ocean—and
the nation which was once second is the commercial
world, is now reduced to a dependence on privateer.
ing, or the agency of those British provinces, which
she vainly boasted three years ago, she would cap.
tune in three months. To a calculatiag people this
most be a most intolerable disappointment.
