timid Quarters, rally of Niagara, July 26,1814.
Lieutenant Geuer4l Drummond offers his since
rest and w tpr -st.thanks to the troops and militia en-

gaged yesterday, for their exemplary steadiness, gal-
lantry; rnd discipline in repulsing all the effort. of a

numerous and determined enemy to carry the posi-
tion of Lundy's.lane,'nee the Falls of Niagara ; their
exertions have been crowned with complete succers,
by the ch feat of the enemy and his retreat to the-po-
sition of Ciippawa, with the loss of two of his guns ad
an immense ournberof killed and wounded, mid se.
veral hundred prisoners.. When all have behaved
nobly it is unnecessary to hold up iartietilit iiistances
of merit in corps or individuals.' The, "lieutenant Ge-
neral cannot, however, refrain from expressing, in the
strongest manner, his admiration of the gallantry and
steadiness of. the Ath regiment. under Litntenant.

The admirable steadiness and good conduct of the

sietance they. aff..rded him,

He has to /arnent bring deprived (hy a wound
early in the action) of the services of Majcr-General
Ri.ill, who was most_trafortunately made prisOner,
whilst returning from the field, by a party of the en:- '
my's cavalry, who had a momentary pu;sessiolf of
t.le road. Lieutenant-General Drummond has also
t t regret the wounds which lia%e deprived the: corps
of the services of Lieutenant-Colonel Morrison, Spell
regiment, and Lieuteitaht-Colonel Robertson of the
incorporated militia. In the fall of Lieutenant Moor-
smn of the 104th rrginient, serving as Deputy Assis-
tant Aujutssut-Geneial, the service bas lost a gallant,
intelligent, and meritorious young Officer.
The Lieutenant-General and President has great
pleasure in dismissing to their homrs the whole of the
sedentary militia, who have so handsomely come far-
ward on' the occasiun, confident that on any future
emergency, their luy4ity will be again equally con-
spicuous. He will periortn a grateful dUty in repre-
senting to his Majesty's Government the sal, bravery,
and alacrity with which tne militia h ire co-nperated
pith his Majesty's troops. (Signed) J. HARVEY,

PARIS, SEPTIIMSER
Monsieur arrived at Dijon on thel2tli, in sae
health. After reviewing the troops-and park of are
tillery at Auxonne, he would proceed to Lyons. eln
the 14th. In tins interesting tour, his Royal High- I
ness continues every where to receive the expression
of the unanimous sentiments which his presence excites.
The Government has successively made the neces.
sary arrangements f'r discharging to the diffeient,
members of the Clergy :
1. The arrears due by the Royal Treattury for
their stipends in the year 1313.
2. The first quarter of the current year.
3. The half of the second quarter. • -
The first quarter of 1814 is paid throughout the
whole of the kingdom. The arrears of 1813 will be
'discharged between the 20th and 30th of September.
Means are taken for completing the payment of the
.aecond quarter 3f the current year before the end of
October. Thus these stipends wall gradually resume
t!lieir wonted course.
The. Chamber of Peers, in theiraitting of the 13th,
itd,opted, with some amendments, the Resolution of
the Chamber of Deputies with regard to the Civil'
List and the dotation of the Crown.
Madam Louise de. Bourbon Conde has recently ,
arrived in this city from England. This Princess,
who bee.ame Abbess of Remiremont itt )788, retired
into termany dieing fbe.Roviletion, and only re.
joined her father and.brStlfer in England after die
fatal death of the Due d'Enghien. She there resided
lie the etsnuent of Benedictine Nuns of Madame de
Seeismirepoix, who passed over into England at the
'beginning of the Revolution, with her whole come
munity, and there observed, the vows. At Paris
' this Princess leads the same life ; she has an apart-
ment in the hotel of the Duchess of Bourbon_; but
she receives nobody, and follows there, with two nuns,
the rule; of her institution.
We learn that the Marquis de Riviere is appoiutcd
'Ambassador to Constantinople.
According to a German Journal, the Xing of
Saxony has signed a deed by which he renounces the
Sovereignty of his States. .
We learn from Frankfort on the Maine, that that
city will have in pay a corps of WOG regular troops.
A report has been for some time current in Ger-
many, that the Archduke Palatine would espouse
the Grand Duchess of Oldenburg. This report hat
now given place to another, which is, that the Arch.
duke Charles is to marry that Princess. It is added,
that during the sitting of Congress several other al-
liances between the Princes and Princesses of the
principal European Powers will be discussed. It is
even believed that their marriages will be celebrated
at Vienna.
Yesterday. in presence of the Secretary General of
the Council cf Commerce, the Masters of the Bakers',
Company, and others, an important trial was made
of heating ovens by means of cited. The experiment
was successful ; the oven was heated in as short a time
as by the usual made, the bread was as well baked,
of as good colour, and had no disagreelble odour.
This discovery is valuable in domestic economy. It
will diminish the consumption of wood, at a time
when it is so scarce and dear.
The Inirstal de Paris cf this day has along political.
article. criticising another which appeared in the G
sew de France, under the head of Frankfort, and which
represented, a the negotiations at the Congress as,
about to commence amidst plans of ambition and sg.l
grandisement of every kind." The article in goes.
Lion is treated as having originated in the office of the
Gazette, and the writer in the Journal thus closes his
criticism :
44 It appears difficult to believe that, after the ef-
forts and sacrifices which the Powers of the North
have just made, they will carry with them hostile
feelings and unmeasured views of ambition to the
Congress of Vienna. It will even be advantageous
for them, amidathe known exhaustion of their finances,
to re-enter their natural limits, and thus to secure for'
many ye4S the repose of Europe.
a The acquisition of some provinces, by exciting,
the jealousy of their neighbours, would only exposel
them to new dangers. England should be satisfied
with her maritime preponderance, and with the glory '
she has acquired in the war just terminated. There ie
a point of greatness where it is wise to stop.
Besides, France will necessarily have a great deal
of influence in the deliberations of the Congress of
Vienna. She is ton much interested that certain.
powers should not take advantage of the state of lase
situde of some Governments, in order to extend them.
Iselves beyond the limits which justice and the general
interest of the great European family enjoin them to
respect. -The known moderation of the French Go-
vernment will give mare weight to its interference.
In the existing state of things, France is still one of
the countries in Europe, the most able to cause her
rights and independence to be respected. Her re-
verses were the fruit of extraordinary circumstances;
her glory remains all her own ; and should the na-
tional interest agaiseentennion her armies to the field
of battle, Victory., we doubt not, would still love-,to
recognize those French standards which the explOits
of our brave armies have surrounded with so much
brilliance.

Ilut in .despite of all the news, true or false, from
Germany, we think that the Congress of Vienna will
open under happy auspices. The rights and interests
of all nations will he consulted. It will be felt, that
if the eqoilibriiim of Europe is not the result of the
negotiations of the Congress, she will still continue in
that violent state of agitation which has caused so
many calamities for the last 25 years. It was to be
,s.,ished, for the future repose of all nations, that
France had retained the barrier •of the Rhine; but
since the wish, to pet an end to the calamities of war
and t!.e effusion of human blood induced her to sa.
crifize it, slie has a right to erpect the same system
of moderation on the part of the other rowers. The
Sovereign who should wish to take advantage of cir-
cumcances in order to aggrandize himself beyond
measure, will commit the fault which Nveleou com.
ousted, and which decided his fall."

TLIE EVENING STALL

LON DON.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1814.

We have to announce another complete Defeat of
the American Army, on the 25th of July. It would
appear that the American General had determined
on effecting some enterprize of moment previ, us to
'he arrival of the British reinforcements. The Ame.
ricans• were the assailants, and they were reptils,..:
at all points. Our loss has been severe, but an
object of great magnitude has been attained. Canada
is now considered as so secure from attack that the
sedentary Militia have been sent home. The Ame-
ricans are surely, by this time, sick of the invasion of
Canada. The details of this successflal enterprize wal
be found in another part of our Parr.

if the British Commissioners at Ghent, or rather
his Majesty's Goverrutsent at home, whose dusty it is
to furnish them witltinstructions, have a due sense of
the honour of their Country, the following are the
chief terms upon which alone Peace miki to be con
cluded with America ; and it is evident that no era
could occur more favourable for the settlement of
claims of such importance, but in themselves so rea-
-1 sonable.

We do not intend in stating these terms to enter -at
present into any lengthened discussion upon them.
In the first place comes undoubtedly the acknow.
ledgment, that Great Britain, as a Belligerent, has thc
right of searching American vessels for British seamen.
9.11 y, An acknowledgment that no Act of Nam
ralization by the laws of the United States, in favour
of a' British-born subject, can prevent the former from
putting in execution her own laws against such sub-
ject, if found in the service of the latter during war
between the two countries, or entitle the States to
treat prisoners of war as hostages for such persons.—
These two conditions ought to be consented to in limine,
and prt!viously to any further discussion of a Treaty.
3d ly, A new arrangement of the boundaries bet weeu
his Majesty's Ameri can Prow; nces and the United States.
If this arrangement cannot be concluded amicably.
which is not impossikle, it must beconcladed by forces
Because, uniess his Majesty's Government is prepared
Yo go to the expense of establishing Naval Dock-yards
on LakesOutario and. Erie, and buildingtbree-deckers
there, the occupation of the Southern shores ofthese
Lakes by the United Stares cannot be permitted. It
is very easy to thew that the American Government
would lose little by giving up the point—and if they
do it :racially, they might be indemnified in other
quarters. Some persons have gone the length of
stating, that the Boundary should be carried to the
Ohio; but this would be too much, and it would be
impolitic to press it. The natural boundary is the
Table Land or Hcizht: fiorn whence the Rivers flow
Northward into the Lakes above.rnentione4 and
Southward into the Mississipi, Ohio, Sec. The ether
parts of the boundary, where chatiges are required,
might be more easily adjusted.
4th. A distinct and explicit stipulation on the part
.o 1 the Unit:d States to respect the Indian terr;:ory.
This territory to be tinder the guAritnte• of Gre it
Britain, and to extend to the bouthern as well as
Western and Northern tribes.

ancient limits to Sp4n. 11,4 is at, important poems
and the Unitrd States most not be *lowed to nerd,
that we have n 6 authority fr.), Npato to insist *psi
it. The an:wer is piaia, that Gr,:at Britaia aloft

eves consent that Spain should cede these provinces
, to any other power.
6th. A renunciation on the Part of the United States
*of making fur the future, any Settlements whatever
on'' the north-west .COASt of America. This is the
most important point of all, end includes object!, the
nature at which has net even been whispered in this
country—but which are known to be entertained by
the Government of the United States. Om of dm

There are many other poiats of minew important.;

as they belong not to the head of Clain: upon the

It must be confessed this the seven Articles above
enumerated, are of themselves sufficient, if the Am:-
rican Government has not yet awakened from its
dream of conquering Canada, to stop the wheels of
the present negotiation for a time, if not for ever.
litho dream is over, some hope may be entertained
of a favourable issue, but not until after another cam-
paign, conducted with proper vigour and energy, and
directed to proper points.
Our ideas upon the mode of conducting this cam-
paign we are afraid differ so much from those of our
cotemporaries, and from all the plans we have seen,
that we shall think it our duty to state them soon for
the judgment of our Readers.
