The 4‘ Scotch Lad," or Backwood's Financier, offers

The offer by the Treasury to sell Seven Millions of

What is the Government to do ! If they cannot

what terms must they agree to if compelled to adver-
tise the remainder of the loan ? The capitalists have
told them, that more than 75 in the hundred could
act be had if the Government came publicly into the
market. Under all these circumstances, we are war-
ranted in saying the stock will fall to 89, and that the
Government must suspend the payment of all debts,
and be proclaimed insolvent, or the remainder of the
loan authorised by law must be disposed of at 20 per
cent. at least, below par, the war continuing six months

Yesterday we stopped the press to announce the
receipt of American Papers, with the important in:el-
ligeuce of the arrival in the Chesapeake of a formida-
ble British expedition. This intelligence may have
been premature—but, as we have accounts from Ber-
muda of the with July, stating the arrival there of
the whole of the British force, and that three separate
expeditions were making ready, under Admiral::
COCHRANE, Coaceuee, and Hoettem, the arrival of
one or snore of these expeditions at their destination
could not have been much longer delayed. In the
mean time, the Americans ere every where removing
their property up the country, to be out of the reach
of danger. The armaments from Bermuda are in-
tended for the chastisement of the turbulent spirits in
Bakimnre and Maryland ; and they will probably
visit Washington itself.
Among our extracts from the American Newspa-
pers, will be found an article which gives a most de-
plorable picture of the state of their finances.
We have also given the American official accounts
of the capture of Fort Erie and the affair at Chippewa.
General BKOWN studiously conceals the respective
numerical strength of his own and the British army.
Upon the whole, however, his statement is fairer than
has been usual with his predecessors. In his procla-
mation to his soldiers on entering Canada, there is
nothing of that frothy vapouring which distinguished
Hew., Deenenne, andWnectsosoe ; and if we were
pot convinced that his army was composed precis,ely
of the same heterogeneous materials, we should feel a
little alarm.
The Ndtional Inielligeneer labours to lower the ex-
pectations of those who expect a speedy peace. On
this subject, a sagacious American Editor remarks,
that it is evident, from the tone of the Government,
that their hopes of a favourable termination of the
negotiations at Ghent were but slender. The judi-
cious and reflecting portion of :he American States
teem, in short, to expect no peace while MADISON
and his faction remain in office.
FROM THE GEORGETOWN FEDERAL REPUBLICAN,
JULY 15.
WAYS AND MEANS.—It is in the finances of a Go-
vernment that the disorder and decay which precedes
revolutions are first discernable. Incompetency or
profligacy in administering the finances, cause those
embarrassments which ultimately terminate in a re-
volution. The case of France, which occurred within
the recollection of us all, renders a resort to history
unnecessary.
The situation of the United States, in its pecuniary I
concerns, is alarming in the highest degree. At this
moment the treasury is without the means of dis-
charging its debts, is driven to the common device of '
putting off its creditors, and can scarcely make the
advances in money necessary in prosecuting the war.
The dismissal of Mr. Simmons from the Werpepart-
vent originated in an unintentional disclosure to a
public creditor of an order given by the Secretary at
.:War to suspend the payment of accounts examined
and passed by the Accountant.
It was supposed the 10,000,000, negociated in
part of the 25,000,000 loan, would be sufficient to
greet the demands on the Treasury, until the meet-
ing of Congress or the Ist of October. But Barker
has been enable to perform his contract. Mr. Madi-
son trusted him for five millions of dollars, and as
Barker relied spot sales to enable him to pay his in.
melanins, and as the stock which he gave 88 for, isi
!ow selling for 84, he cannot comply with his en.
linemen; without at dead loss of 40,000 dollars on
eraPkb million, or 200,000 dollars on the whole con-
Ilaest. Was Barker required to give security on the
• ipootract in the event of his acting the knave, proving
bankrupt, or refusing to comply, because it was not'
Opactly convenient to cln so, as the speculation tureed
OWL differently from what ha especcad No—no se.
Curity was demanded. Refusing, or unable to pay
the last two instalments, does he forfeit the amount
already paid in ? No. Then what security had the
Government that Barker ever would, or meant to
stand to his bargain, unless it turned out a good one,
by the arrival of a treaty of peace ? In short, the
game which this favourite at court has been playing
with the Back Woods Financier, is simply—,4 Heads
win, Tails you lose."
To the point.—After raising an almost universal
expectation of peace, by spreading a report that our
Commissioners would be invited to attend the gene-
ral Congress at Paris, that Mr. Crawford had dined
in company with Lord Castlereagh, that Messrs.
Bayard and Gallatin had gone to London to shew
their instructions, after using every artifice to create
a belief in a speedy peace—certain monied men were
&leen to understand, through tl.e Agents of Govern-
ment, that their piesepce at Washington would be
agreeable, to arrange matters for the remainder of
the 25 million loan. Certain capitalists repeired
to
the Treasury, to see if a good bargain could be made.
The negetiation continues two days. They all dine
with the President, and in the evening the contract is
go ired lot about seen at 86? Mr. Ma-

'establlsbed. His brigade oratlets of battalions of the
9th, the lltb, the 25th, and a detachment of the 22d. I
Towson's company of artillery, which was attached
to it, gallantly commenced, and with it sustained the

longer.
The effect of the discrimination made in favour of
one class of public creditors to the prejudice of ano-
ther, will now be understood. The holders of the
ten million stock who paid up, will be reimbursed in
the difference between the discount of that stock and
the discount allowed by a new contract. The next
loan being sold at 80, will entitle the stockholders of
the ten million loan to demand $ dollars from the
'treasury for every 88 dollars paid in. But the holders
of the 16 million loan can claim no reimbursement.
They have no alternative but to hold on. Their
stock is reduced in value to the new standard esta-
blishes'. by the latest loan, but they claim no reimburse-
ment. They lent their money too soon to the Govern.
ment. If they had held back a little longer, the same
terms would have been obtained from the Govern-
ment which secure the holders of the 10 million loan.
So it will be with the remainder of the loan now re-
quired. If the capitalists will only hold back two
months, they will get it upon their own terms. The
Government may pretend to be very indifferent about
it, and give out that they will not sell under any cir-
cumstances helow a certain price, but they must sell—
they have no help for themselves, or be pronounced
bankrupt.
How will they get money to continue the war ? They
have provided no revenue, and their credit will soon
have entirely and finally departed. Will they recur
to the principles with which they set out when the
, war commenced, and carry about the subscription
book in one hand, and the halter in the other ? These
ideas of force ate forever abandoned, we think. If we
mistake, they have only to be again put in practice,
,as the immediate precursor of Mr. Madison's down-
fall. The degree and kind of aid which the Fes eralists
may choose to give to this war, is a matter for their
lexchmive decision. What they do, will be done
luntarily, and et el It must be the result of their own
choice and tree will. Resort to force, and something
like the scene of Sampson and the Philistines, may be
witnessed—net numerically but physically. We ate de-
cidedly the strongest party in the country. In wealth
and talents, and courage, we are equal to a majority
twice as strong as the faction in power—we possess the
real sinews of war—Mr. Madison knows it. There-
fore if he would preserve the Government and save
himself, he will prefer the use of gentle means to re-
concile us to a continuance of the war, and to put his
veto upon every thing like persecution and force. He
must necessarily be among the earliest victims to his
own system of violence.

CAPTURE OF FORT ERIE—BATTLE OF 0114PEWA.
From an authentic source, we are happy to be able
to state, that our army, under the command of Ma.
jor-General Brown, crossed from Buffalo to the Ca-
nada shore on the 3d of July instant, and that Fort
Erie surrendered to our arms at six o'clock in the
morning. The prisoners (being upwards of 170, in-1
eluding seven officers) are on their way to Green-1,
bush, and the Major and some other of the officers
have already arrived in this village.
The army, on the evening of the 4th of July, pro-
ceeded to the plains one and a half miles west of
Chippewa, when arrangements were made to move
against Chippewa on the morning of the 6th; but in
the afternoon of the 3th, the enemy havislg ammo
Crated his forces in the Peninsula, came from his
works east of the Creek, and offered battle. Our
gallant army did not hesitate to meet him, is %d in the
course of an hour the enemy was broken and driven
from the field, leaving more than 400 killed and
wounded. He was saved by his works froM total
ruin. Our loss was considerable, but not accurately
ascertained. Several of our officers were wounded,
and one or two killed. The enemy left ten officers
killed on the field, and no doubt carried off others.
Arrangements were making to carry the wounded of
both armies to Buffalo, and then move on to Lake
Ontario.

FORT ERIE CAPTURED.--GENERAL ORDERS.
ii Adjutant-General's Once, Left Division, July 2.
0 Major-General Brown has the satisfaction to
announce to the troops of his division on this frontier,
that he is authorized by the orders of his Govern-
ment, to put them in motion against the enemy. The
first and second brigades, with the corps of artillery,
will cross the streights before them this night, or as
early to-morrow as possible. The necessary instruc-
tions have been given to the Brigadiers, and by them
to the Comm2nding Officers of regiments and corps. i
44 Upon entering Canada, the laws of war will
govern : men found in arms, or otherwise engaged
in the service of the enemy, will be treated as ene-
mies ; those behaving peaceably, and following their
private occupations, will be treated as friends. Pri-
vate property, in all West will be held sacred : pub-
lic property, whenever found, will be seized and dis-
posed of, by the commanding General. Our utmost
protection will be given to all who actually join, or
who evince a desire to join us.
" Plundering is prohibited. The Major-General
does not apprehend any difficulty on this account with
the regular army, or with honourable volunteers,
who press to the standard of their country, to avenge
her wrongs, and to gain a name in arms. Profligate
men, who follow the army for plunder, must not ex-
pect that they will escape the vengeance of the gal-
lant spirits who are struggling to exalt the national
character. Any plunderer shall be punished with
death who may be found violating this order.
41 By order o' the Major-General,
" C. K. GARDNER, Adjutant-General."
In pursuance of the above orders, the army passed
the Niagara river on Sunday morning last. The
brigade of General Scott, and the artillery corps of
Major Hindman, landed nearly a mile below Fort
Erie, between two and three o'clock, while General
Ridley, with his brigade, made the shore, about the
same distance above. The enemy was perfectly un-
apprised of these movements. General Scott led the
van, and was on shore before the enemy's picquet,
which was stationed at this point, fired a gun—the
guard discharged their guns and retreated.
In the morning, a small Indian corps was crossed
over. The fort was approached on the right and
, left, and the Indians skirted the woods in the roar.
General Brown now demanded a surrender of the
garrison, and gave the Commander two 1r )ors for
consideration. In the mean time, a battery of long
18's was planted in a position which commanded the
fort. The enemy surrendered prisoners of war—
marched out of the fort at six, stacked their arms,
and were immediately sent across the river to the
American shore—there were upwards of 170 priso-
ners, of the Bth and 100th regiment, among whom
were 7 officers. Major Burke commanded the fort.
WASHINGTON CITY, JULY 15.
We observe, with much regret, in some of the Nor-
thern papers, particularly in those of New-York, cer-
tain information said to have proceeded from corres-
pondents at Washington, respecting the general aspect
of the late information from Europe, which have a
tendency, in our opinion, to deceive the public mind.
The public may rest assured that we have never mis-
lead them on this head as some of the New-York Edi-
tors have insinuated.
We are convinced that nothing more favourable to
peace is in the Cabinet of the Government than is in
the possession of every reading man in the nation.
We say this much, only with the hope of checking
the progress of what appears to us an unfortunate
delusion.
FROM THE NEW-YORK EVENING POST, JULY IS.
CALL or Commess.—We doubted the truth of the
reports in circulation yesterday, of an early Session
of Congress ; but we now begin to think such a Ses-
sion is in contemplation. The question will naturally
be asked, for what purpose will they be called ?
This question we shall attempt to answer, to the best
of our abilities. It is believed that the Executive is
in daily expectation of dispatches from our Commis-
sioners in Eurcpe, and it is probable they will contain
a Treaty of Peace between this country and Great
Britain.—lf this should be the case, it will be neces-
sary to have the Senate in Session, to ratify the
treaty, that no time may be lost.
It will also be necessary for Congress, as a body,
to be together, to make arrangements consistent with
a peace establishment. If a treaty of peace should
not arrive, the dispatches which are expected will un-
doubtedly decide the fate of the nation as to peace or
war; for if a treaty is not signed in a short time
alter the meeting of the Commissioners, no peace
need be expected while the present Administration
are in power. In this case we must expect the war,
on the part of the enemy, to assume a character of
new and encteascd activity and extent : and, oa out
