VALUABLE MEDICINE.

rrHE Valued Da. FREIMAN'S GUTTA SALUTARIS,
has been so long proved, that nothing of the present day
can bear a competition with it, in all the different stages Of a
certain disease ; which it effectually cures and eradicates from
the habit, wiliont exciting the painful feelings and exposure that
attends salivation—without debilitating the constitution in any
degree, or even requiring confinement from business or restric-
tion of diet. The radical virtues of these inestimable Drops have
proved their claim to public approbation for more than 30 years.
In all the debility of both sexes they prove a never-faifing resto-
rative—whether the debility is produced by ton free use of mer-
cury, by illicit pleasures, or the effects of a warm climate. Ts
travellers and those going abroad, they cannot be recommended
too strongly, as they will receive a safe, speedy, and complete
cure, itt all old stubborn sleets, and every weakness that affects
the bladder and organs of urine. By its efficacy many women

TO THE. BIWA OF THE TAR.
Sin—As I have ever been, now am,-and ever shall
be warmly attached to the Highlanders of Sutherland.
shire, whereever . they may be scattered over the fate •
of the globe, on my perfect knowledge that as a body
they are a religious, moral, loyal and brave, though
of late, an.illjated people ; ani the settlers on Red
River form a part of that body ; you will readily
conceive that I could not but feel highly shocked by
the statement contained in a letter dated Quebec, 18th
O_tc.ber, which appeared in your very respectable
Paper of the 9th instant.
Having the honour to be slightly known to the
Noble Lord who was in that article so strongly, and,
as it appears now, most unwarrantably alluded to;
in justice to him, and under previous considerations
net necessary to be here brought into view, I lost no
time in apprising his Lordship that such an article
had appeared ; and requested that he would be so
good as to favour me with what information his Lord-
ship was possessed of, on the actual state and condi-
tion of a body in whose welfare he knew that I took
uo ordinary interest.
In consequence, I bad the honour to receive from
that Noble Lord, by the worn of the post, a letter
on the subject, of which. I give you here a faithful
copy ; and I reqnest, that for the satisfaction of all
those interested in the Colony in questions you will
give it, and this communication, insertion:
syttenhon, Dee. 12.
44 Sta—l have received your letter of the 10th, and ant much
obliged to you for informing me of the article in the STAt.
bast not siren ; but I have no doubt that it proceeds from a
trading Company, who conceive their interests to be injured by
the tiettletheut in question, and who have inserted in the Canada
Newspapers some very gross misrt presentations on the subject.
" 1 he misfortunes of the Kildonan emigrants on their voyage,
were fully and correctly stated in most of the Newpinvers iv No-
vember last year. They originated, in a great measure, in the
foolish obstinacy of the people themselves, who would not at-
mid to the regulaions laid down tor the preservation of their
health on hoard the ship.
'Though this untoward event prevented their reaching their
destination at the time expected, they were well taken care of in
their *low quarters, where they lived io plenty, and soon re-
covered their h:alth.. They proceeded on their journey in the
spring, and at tl.e date of the last advice' (July 25th) they were
established on their re.pective allotments of land, a•siduously
engaged in their work, in very good spirits, and highly satisfied
wilt the r satiation. The crops, at that time, were in a very
promising state, some of them nearly ripe; and leaving Ito doubt
of a superabundant supply for all the settlers. As the usual re-
turns of bailey are thirty for one, and potatoes fifty for one, it
must be a man's own fault if he has to complam of want."
However highly satisfactory his Lordship's state.
scent WAS PntiLied to be considered, as far as it went,
I sent him the paper containing the article, with an
expression of my hearty wishes, that, on all the ob-
vi6us and strum import of it, the whole article might
be as pcblicly contradicted as it was promulgated.:
and I CPoc.eire. that the question has been most satis-
factorily spoken to; and, in as far as regards its false-
Wood, pin to definitive rest, by the manly and firm
Iclteenl Mr. A.tu.n, which appeared us your Paper
of the 17th instant.
It is imrsbible, Mr. editor, to reprehend, in too
seecre tares, a ii.thritious act of tl.e nature of the
article in question; because the highly injurious im.
pressions which it' was calculated to excite on the
public mind, were naturally increased by the cons!.
&ration that the midicious author of it, did not pur-
port to state any part of it en report, but the whole a:
the mat ti his own person4l observation : and whoever
the man was who hashed it, he does but little credit
to a British 7 ruder.
With respect to ti:e remarks with which you, Sir,
announced the article, they were qualified and con-
diticinal, and entirely wotthy of an old established
Journalist. You gave the article naked as it
appeared, stating the source whence you had it; and
iu doing so, gave opportunity to those whom it most
behoved, to speak to its truth or falsehood ; and your
apparent purpose has been satisfactorily accomplished.
Sit.ce I am on this subject, it may not be unsea-
sonable to remind you, Sir, that the Colony here in
dicsisslon is composed of sixty families, or part: of
families, who emigrated last year from Sutherland-
shire, under the auspices of my- 4‘ord bauciax, in
oonsequence of an extensive removal of the tenantry
en that noble and populuds estate, under a new system
dt husbandry ; on which • subject, several letters ap
peared iri your Journal, in time months of March and
April lap year. In some of which letters, without
questioning the point of "i/ukviffea/ riglur," all the
evils, immediate and prospective, likely to arise out
of that new system, to the pppulation of that County,
Isere predicted. And, sorry lam to say, that if the
statements from that County, are even partially stir-
sect (and that they are, I have no doubt on my mind),
you will probably awe,: with. me, that these predic-.
tons are already but too fatally verified I
The same year, ninety-two families more of this ill-
fated people, comprising a collective population of
five hundred old apd young, were removed to ac-
commodate one individw.l with a Sheep Farm.

FROM A BOSTON PAPER, OCT. St.
! • GENERAL MARIA ARMY.
• Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Patriot,
dated Dead Creek, (U. C.) October 19, 1814.
14 The army under command of Major-General
Izard, atvanced as far as Chippewa Plains, on the
llth inst. having to replace the bridges, which the
enemy destroyed, and driving in his out-posts, after
some sharp skirmishing with our light corps in the
afternoon of that day. On the 15th, the enemy ap-
peared in force at the village of Chippewa, but thew-
ed no disposition to give us battle. The bridge had
also been destroyed, and no means were then possess-
ed of reaching hint, but by our artillery, which was
brought up and ably directed by Captains Towson
and Archer—disabling his batteries, and almost si-
lencing his field artillery before night, when we re-
turned to the encampment, On the 16th we again
showed him our front in order of battle, and al-
though reinforced, he -could,not be grown into the
contest. On the 17th, the UM, changed position,
and retired seven miles up the Nit; -Ara. General
Bissell was detached with his brigade on the morning
of the 18th, to watch the effect of this movement,
while the main body continued on its ground, in the
hope of drawing the enemy from his position. The
brigade of Gen. Bissell, had, by a circuitous route
through the woods, gained the vicinity of a draw.
bridge, about three miles above the mouth of Chip-
pewa River, and allowing but a part of his force to
be discovered. At day-break, the enemy threw over
a strong column to destroy what he considered a re-
connoitering party, and was instataly received by the
brigade; and though far superior in numbers, he
was beaten with great slaughter, driven over his
bridge, and pqrsued so closely as to leave no time
for its removal. The battery which defended the
passage was gallantly carried, giving time only to
discharge two rounds before it was occupied by our
troops. The enemy WAS reinforced. but obliged to
give ground, and retired with a loss estimated at
nearly ‘2OO in killed, wounded, and prisoners; ourk is
stated at 11. killed and 54. wounded. The main
lvaly ail, march iminedfately, and reinforcements
Are already gone to support him; but the enemy has
prchably retreated beyond a prospect of successful
pursuit. The action lasted three qa.tit,n-s of an
hour, and was princil:ally fought beyond the liver."

6 6 Yesterday Gen. Bissell, with his brigade, forced
the Chippewa, eight lies above the enemy's poi.
tion, with the lus of 6a men, 11 of whom were
killed. This morning the army were on the rn.ve
from Black Creek down the Niagara upon the Cliip

the recovery." •
FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLICENCER.
THE FOURTEENTH CONGRESS.
Much exultation has been displayed to the Federal
Prints on the occasion of the acquisition of Federalism
in the recent Congressional Elections in Mary laud
and Pennsylvania. Without at present exanilnitig
the causes of the ascendancy of Fede: alism in Mary-
kind, and proving that it must be temporary ; with-
out deploring the misguided zeal on the one side or
the other, of tlic two sections of the Republican
'party in Pennsylvania, which has enabled the Fede-
ralists to elect members in two or three districts,' in
which they ate the, minority, we proceed to :hew to
our readers, not only that the Federalists cannot hare
a majority in the next Congress, but to skew that
their numbers will not be greater iu that than in the

present.
'inc election in New Hampshirehas jnst terminated,
and resillteJ in the reelection, by a small majority,
of six Federal Representatives to Congress.
In ,Massachusetts, the eleetian talcs place this Ml,
and will give at least the present prupurtion of Re-
publican members, if not an increased number.
In Vermont, though the Ccngressionat Election
has taken place, the votes are not yet known to have
been counted out ; but, as there i' reason to fear*
May eventuate in the choice of Federalists, we shall
so estimate. it.
Rhode Island, always eccentric, has re-elected two
Federal Representatives. That Connecticut will re-
eject seven Federal Representatives, there can be nu
doubt.
The powerful State of New York has given her
zealous support to the present Administration, and
to the war, by choosing twenty Republican and seven
Federal.iiirrobers, of the last of %shorn it is said the
seats of two will be vacated in f ivour of their Re.
publican opponents.
New-Jersey has just, almost unexpectedly to us,
chosen six decidedly Republican Representatives.
Feign Pens) Ward,' all the returns have not yet come
to Laud ; but it is believes! that six out of her -to Re-
presentatives will be Federal.•
Delaware has chosen, as usual, Federal Represtn•
tatives. .
In Maryland, the Federalists have obtained five,
the Republicans lour members.
In Virginia, the election des not tnke place until
April next. We may reckon on her delegation, as
it Low stands, 17 and six, though it will probably
not result so favourably to Federalism.
The North Carolina election does not take place
until next August. Her d I,:gation will probably
stand as at present, ten to three ; but, making allow.
once for possible changes, we will set it down at
eight to five.
In South Carolina the election has taken place so
recently, that we have the returns only from one
(the must Federal) district, in which the Republican
candidate is chosen+ There is no doubt, therefore,
that the whole Representation of that. State will be
democratic.
In Georgia it is ascertained that six Republicans
Tare just chosen, to represent .that State, its the next
Congress.
In Tennessee the elections do not take place until
the spring. There is no doubt, however, that Repub-
licans will be Litosen from every district.
Kentucky has a/ready; as usual, chosen a delege-
Lion of unmixed democratic character.
The electien in Ohio hai just ended, and there is
