PACIFIC DISPOgITIONS OF THE A.MER.I.)
CAN PRESIDENT. fi
MORE VICTORIES IN CANADA.
Last night, Lieutenant Poosorr, of his Majesty's
ship BRAMBLE, arrived at the Admiralty from Ame-
rica. He sailed from the Chesapeake on the even-
ing of the 12th of January. The dispatches of which
he is the bearer relate to the negociation proposed
some -time since by the American Government.
Their contents have not been permitted to transpiti :
but the Lieutenant has brought Americaz Papers to
so late a date as the 10th of Jarman,' which contain
very important intelligence.
On the 6th the PRESIDENT laid before Congress the
answer of Lord CASTLEREAGH, dated November the
4th, 1813, to the proposition for treating under the
mediation of Russia; in substance declining the me-
diation,, but professing a readiness to treat directly
with the United States, either in London, or, if that
should be objected to, at Gottenburgh.
The-PRESIDENT also laid before Congress the reply
which he had ordered Mr. MUNRO to write, and of
which Lieutenant POGSON is the bearer, acceding to
Lord CASTLEREAGH'S proposition, and selecting Got-
tenburgh as the place of negociation. In the Mes-
sage with which the PRESIDENT transmits the docu-
ments, he urges Congress-to vigorous preparations for
war, as not likely to impede the progress of nego-
tiation.
The National Intelligencer also contains the official
account of another defeat suffered by the Americans,
on their own frontrier. On the 19(11 of December,
early in the morning, a British regular and Indian
force, crossed the river, and completely surprised fort
Niagara, which they took, and put to the sword, or
made prisoners, the whole garrison, except 20 men.
General MACLANE, who writes this account to the
American Secretary at War, gives an account of some
other less affairs, in which the British were also suc-
cessful.

• Major-General Hutt writes to Governor Tour-
Ltxs, dated the 25th-Deeember, stating, that on re.
ceiving information of the-capture of Niagara he had
set out for the frontier. The force which he had
collected to resist another attack which the British
threatened, amounted toabout 2000 men, besides ex-
eected reinforcements. He states the American loss
at Niagara to be immense; that the actual number
was not known.
On the 30th December, General liszu writes again
to Governor TOMPKINS, that-he had suffered a COM
plete defeat from the enemy on that day: The
supported by a strong party of Indians*, ptased over
near Blackrock, early on that mornings they were
met by the American militia with spirit; but over-
come, as the General states, by the number and disci-
pline of the British, they gave Way, and fled on every
side. The flourishing village of BOLD* was taken,
and laid in ruins; and this siliole*of thelikigara from-
tier was laid open.
Another letter, dated funn Bufraloe, on the 26th of
December, states, that the American kree- then as.
seinbled at that place was upwirds of 3000 Men, and
in three days they were to be 5000 strong.
Four American schooners, which had been used as
.guii-boats, were taken at Baffaloe-creek and destroyed.

It will appear, from the above intelligence, that
the report of an embargo having been laid in the

•AM:ericai _Willie the „faCobin faction of that cOtrlitrt,
the alders and abettors of the Baltimore rnttrdezq, are'

in power. MAMON is at die lead of that faceion—
,
they are not Gentlemen and men of honour—err,
they are unworthy of being admitted into the chival-
rous league now on foot throughout Europe for the
extirpation of false philosophy aud atheistical prin-
ciples. But let us not appear to rail against this
man and his adherents without a cause—let us eia-
mine his conduct for the last two years. When he
first denounced the war against Great Britain, he
placed foremost in the field of contention our Orders
in Council. These were repealed by Ministers, more
we believe out of respect to what.was called the po-
pular voice than from any dereliction from the sound
,principles of policy upon which they were founded.
—Then came up Mr, MADISON with his reserve—this
was the absurd principle so often combated, of the
right to appropriate to himself the natives of other
countries, and enrol them tinder the banners of an
unprincipled despot like himself, to enable him, for-
sooth, to subjugate their own country ! We have just
called him an unprincipled despot, and we are ready
to prove his title to the appellation from every act of
his public life. He knows that the doctrines which
he exchuivtly utters upon this subject, and to main-
tain which he has plunged his country into war, are
at variance with all the usages of civilized nations—
nay his intimacy, and perhaps consanguinity with
the Catabaws and other savage tribes of America,
ought to teach him that these patriots of the soil ad-
mit of no such principle. When they find a warrior
of iheir own nation fighting against them (a rare
occurrence by the bye) they mention the circum-
stance to the Chief under whose command lie has
placed himself—he is instantly delivered up and put
to death, as a traitor, amid the acclamations Of both
nations.

And what is the language of brother NAPOLEON on
the same subject ? We regard as " thing of naught"
the whole of the code NAPOLEON on the subject of
native-born Frenchmen, because it has not yet been
received as a text-book in any of the Schools of Juris-
prudence. We recollect a recent French Decree,
however, which is somewhat more in point, because
it was more generally promulgated. When BONA •
PARTE heard that Guadaloupe had been ceded to
Sweden, he issued a Declaration, that every French
inhabitant of that Island who should take an oath of
allegiance to any other Sovereign than the Great
Emperor, was ipso factl a traitor to his country, and
incurred the penalties of death accordingly.
We take leave for the present of this important
subject by expressing our confidence that Ministers
will so conduct themselves in their negotiations with
the MADISON faction, that all future adversaries may
beware of them. The foundation of our maritime
,aiperiority was laid by the Navigation Act of Crtom-
WELL. Oceans of blood and millions of treasure have
been expended. to render the fabric durable—and
every treaty with the European Powers for the last
century and a half has added to its strength. It has
always been a faithful and luminous beacon to the
shipwrecked States of Europe, and if a single stone
:s removed from it to be given to America, h will
sooner or later fall like the might), Colossus ofanti-
quity—but it will bury the independence of the clvi.

captive Sultan, accompanied with circumstances of
unusual solemnity, be remained some hours when
chi., transfer of the desired treasure took place, the
parties exchanged turbans, and pledged themselves
.by mutual oaths of eternal friendship, previous to the
surrender of the jewel. Soojah was then restored to
ottensible liberty.
"The Seik peneral,MohukhimChund,had returned
with his Ant* from Cashmere, and was on the Ist of
June at Lahor. The management of the war against
Futteh Khan was given to him, when he set out to
join the force in advance towards Attock, under
'Priucc,Corug Sing, who, according to the last ad-
-0.4,44 was encamped at Kbala. AU proffers of ne-
gotiation by Futteh Khan, were refused. by Ram
Sink, as the army he had was unequal to, scpe,,witit
