precluded from rendering any assistance, by being out of the
Direction by totatioo, and another wi:l probably occupy the im-
portant and arduous situation of Chairman.
The experience of a certain proportion of Nautical Men, must
be eiseuttally uselul in the Management of such extensive Coro-
nierciat Concerns as yours: I am therefore induced, on an open-
ing so p.cultatly encouraging to a Member of your Naval Service,

ing eeception, on my paying to you my perscnal respects; and I
hope they finally ensure t., me your support ou the Day of
Lluetion. I have the honour is remain, with great respect,
Ladies and Gentlemen, •

BOSTON, JANUARY 28.

Mr. Clay took leave of the House of Representa-
tives of the United States, on the 19th instant, as its
Speaker, and a vote of thanks for his services was

passed., 146 to 11.
The Hon. Langdon Cheves, of South Carolina,
"was then chosen Speaker. The whole number of
votes was 165, of -tybich Mr. Cheves had 94, the
Hon. Felix Grundy, of Tennessee, 59, and other De-
tnoes I`2. Both the Candidates were DtMocratic
but the Federal Itopabtitans and more moderate De-
mocrats voted for Mr. Chetes, and be veils elected

ever., it is said, against the decision of a caucus of
Vinisterialists. The result is highly gratifying to the
minority, as they could not expect to get a Federalist
in the chair, and prefer Mr. C. to any other man.ot
this party. Mr. C. has always been opposed to com-
mercial restrictions, and is a gentleman of great can-
dpur, acknowledged talents, and unblemished cha-
racter.

On the Bth inst. an alarm existed at Plattsburgh,
which hod prevailed without diminishing for several

A piquet of our army at French Mills was attack-

without loss on our side.
HERRIMER, JANUARY 20.

Frotu Sackett's Harbour we learn direct that the
principal part of the public stores of cloathing, sk.c.
have been removed 10 or 12 miles into the interior.
The garrison at that place now consists of near 1000
eifectives, exclusive of sailors and marines. Consider-
able apprehensions are entertained of an attack from
the enerny's force at Kingston.
An expedition of some kind is in contemplation, as
every sleigh in that part of the country that can be
lined or pressed, is put in requisition. It is by many
'conjectured that this fleet of inland transports is in-
tended to assist Wilkinson's army in sailing back to
the harbour.
We have certain information that all the British
forces in the vicinity of Fort George, excepting a
small g4rris(in at Niagara, have marched 10 or 12
day, since for Malden, opposite Detroit, under the
command of Lieutenant,General Drummond?
latOM THE BOSTON PALLADIUM, JAN. Oil.
Great apprehensions exist at Plattsburgh, New
*•. or k, on Lake Champlain, that the British meditate

S..

the capture.of that place, and the diitruction of tha
public magazines, &c: and their contents. They have
applied to General Wilkinson, and he has reinforced
the garrison, by detachments from French Mills and
Burlington. But 'the inhabitants say, the force is
still clearly and conclusively insufficient. A writer
in the paper of that city asks, " why 5000 of the
drafted militia have been called out in Canada and
near Montreal—why so many sleighs and trains have
been collected by • hireling and pressing—why so
many pieces of artillery are put in preparation by
the British, if Plattsburgh is not to be attacked ?"
They think General W. has done all is his power,
but complain of Governor lomkins.

EXTRACT OP A LITTER PROM LIZUTININT CLAXTON TO HIS
LATHER, DATED MACEDONIAN, NEW LONDON, JAN. 19.

" DEAR FATuert-,-For the last two days we have
been all anxiety. An American Captain, returned on
parole from the Ramilies, 74, a few days since, and
communicated to Commodore Decatur a consulta-
tion he had with Captain Hardy, in which the latter
said, " that now that two frigates were off, of equal
force to the United States and Macedonian, he should
have no objection to a meeting taking place, but that
he could• not allow the challenge to come from the
English Commanders." The hint Was embraced in
a moment, and Captain Biddle dispatched with a
challenge from our Commanders. In the mean time,
every preparation was made on our side for an im-
I mediate engagement, which we all supposed no ob-
jection could be made to.. The crews of both ships
were called together, and addressed• by their Com-
manders, who made known to them the substance of
the business then on Toot. They were answered by
three hearty cheers. Captain Jones concluded his
short and pertinent address in the following word*
spoken with great modesty :—.,,, My lads, our cruize
will be short; and, I trust, a very profitable one."—
Captain Biddle went on board the 74. A signal was
immediately made for • the two Commanders of the
English frigates, and they went on board. Captain
Hardy addressed them—" Gentlemen, here are two
letters for you; it rests altogether with you to decide.
•on the matter."—Stackpole, of the Statira, answered.
vsith the greatest affectation--" 'Pon honour. Sir, it!
is the most acceptable letter I ever received." The
final answer was to be given yesterday. Captain
Biddle returned, and related the circumstances as I
have mentioned. .
