for a single moment. first, as to territory j•WPAS MP!
specte great Britain and the linked statos, it was
by the veal of peace settled and agreed between the
parties; that the territorr in question belonged to ua:
can they now then pretend to intermeddle with it, ntu.
der nny pretence, or in.any shape? No.—.-Secondly, as
to the Indians : I ask Great Britain, if it has ever been
heard of that Indians are considered as independent
nations ? We know that France, when in possession
of Canada, never treated them as such; and certain it
is Great Britain never treated them as such.--Lastly,
as to the two nations r I confess myself utterly asto-
nished that the British Commissioners should propose
a measure to ours, which, if it was accepted, it would
be morally impossible to observe, for the inevitable:en-
croachment of civilized people on savage nations, and
the retreat of the latter, can no more be prevented than
cause and effect can be separated ; and moreover,
sech a stipulation would only be the cause of another
war in less than five years. It is therefore inadmis-
sible on every ground.
" As to a revision of the eastern boundary line ;
no one has ever objected to running lines for the pur-
pose of settling diputed boundaries. Should we lose
Moose ,Island by ascertaining the truth, we will ask
Mr. Jefferson to explain why it was cot obtained de-
finitively by the ratification of Mr. King's conven.
tion ?. However, this is not a tine qua 104. and conse-
quently might be disposed of if nothing else ftrevented.

." Lastly—They do not pretend to interfere with
our right to fish on the Newfoundland banks, but
they refuse to yield the privilege to cure our fish on
their own shores without an equivalent. This is pre-
cisely the diitinction formerly taken in this paper. The
first, we maintained, was our strict tight, and so
clearly so, that we not only would never surrender it,
but we also said we were quite certain Great Britain
would never ask it of us. Our letters of yesterday,
speaking conjecturally, informed us she had, and we
pronounced the demand insufferable. It now appears
she does not, and she only expects an equivalent for
the use of her shores, to which we have no right. and
which is so far from being essential to our full enjoy-
spent the fishery, that in point of fact, as I have
since ascertained, our fishermen did not avail them-
selves of the privilege when they had it gratuitously.
• 44 But the article respecting the Lakes is surely
' not to be admitted. No : Not as it stands. But
observe, it is not proposed to us as what must indis-
pensably be granted ; if it were, I should say the
Lake: or no !pace; that is, an equal participation of
the Lakes. It is merely a proposal, an extraordinary
and inadmissible proposal. I admit ; but if the article
eau be so modified as to be made perfectly reciprocal,
each to do or abstain frOm doing whist the other does
or abstains from doing, I do not know but it might
be well enough. Otherwise, however, it must be
resisted at every hazard."

From the Gaseett we learn that General DRUMMOND,
etreating from Fort Erie, had made a stand at Chip.
pewa, in the vicinity of which a battle is expected,
We understand that the dispatch from Sir GEORGIC
PftIVO6T, omitted in the Gazette, was dated the 11th
of September, at Flensburg, detailing the success at-
tending his advance, and his intention to retreat in
.consequence of the disaster which had befallen the
British flotilla.
The return from the 6th to the 14th of September
bring inclosed in the dispatch bearing date the 11th,
is easily accounted for, from the circumstance of that
,dispatch not having been made up for some time
after. Although dispatches have arrived of a laser
date from Sir G. Paevosi., none has been received
,ccintaining any account of his retreat. Private letters,
;however, contradict •the American statements of pre-
.cipitation and embarrassment in Sir GEORGE% move-
',tient& on that occasion. The dispatch of the 11th,
before mentioned, refers to the action on the Lake,
but it is not thought proper to publish this until an
official account of the action reaches the Admiralty.

We have received the letters of our valuable Cor.
respondent in Canada, the last dated 25th September.
They contain so much of the' discontent that, is
breathed in every letter from Officers in that quarter,
that we forbear repeating much of it. The writer
says, we have yet no prospect of Sir Gantt:es going
home. From desertion, and other causes, would you
believethat up *the country our army suffered a loss
of upwaids of three thousand men !

How different is our case here front what it was
iq the Peninsula. The Duke of WELLINGTON had
the unbounded confidence of the whole army, Officers
as well as men. The soldiers believed they could
'achieve any thing, and they would do any thing tin-
der him. Sir GEonoa has the confidence of none ;
the heave fellows whO conquered Portugal, Spain,
and France, are now dispirited and foiled by Yankee
Militia. We want not only a new 'Commander•in-
Chief in this country, but a total change of the heads
,of every department: things have gone on too long
in their present channels.
We have had a great deal of bad fighting lately,
and have done no good : but we are to have another
trial soon. The large ship is launched, and she is to
do great things : we are now to proceed against
Sackett's Harbour, which will give some trouble—it
is where they get all their shipping out on Lake On-
tario, and our navy now dare not :thew themselves
pn any of the Lakes.
