We have subjoined some further extracts from our
files 91 American Papers, as tending to prove that
upon cool reflection the Americans have discovered
that Oleic boasted victory in Canada is likely to be
attended with the most serious consequences. Their
Journals teem with the croakiogs of gloom and de.
spondency. A Mrs. Tuotarsos, a true American
'matron, it appears, had poisoned some spirits, and
placed them in the way of the British, on a late ex-
pedition : a correspondence Inas taken place on the
subject between the American and British Com-
manders, from which it merely appears that the
f:raier knew nothing of this act of wanton barbarity.

therefere, have all the honour of the attempt, and
will, , &ink, be rewarded for it by Mr. MADISON'S

We are interned, en nothority which we conceive
to beencitntiontdil4 that Mr. Monroe, in a late con-
versation with the Mini's* Of a foreign Power, resi.
dent in this country, ettairiiied,'4 that it was not the
policy of the Government of the United States to
encourage or protect commerce ;" and that the Mi
nister replied, that he shottld.comtounicate to his
Government this declaration of the dispsition of the
American Government on this so`zject "

10110-chits tietattiWe to the:British claim to this Wand,
which are notletterally knot-n, from which we think
it will appear!, that in consequence of a very culpable
want of diseretiOn in our Government, this claim, if
there be no other obstacle, is likely to retard the
negockdotis for peace.
We are told that it is no joke, but a literal faCt, that
there are neutral vessels on Lake Champlain, and that
the monstrous doctrine that A yard of bunting pre:
eludes all inquiry into the nationality of all the goods
beneath it, is acknoWledged by the officers of our
government in that quarter.
7. The British government, hoivever, have pbt in end
to this species of trade, by prohibiting all exportation
to the United States. We have not heard that the
Swedish Minister has made any protest, although the
sueasnre is likely to be very injurious to the 3.ig of
Lakes.
