FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, SEPT. 21.
" BRITISH NEGOCIATION.-A letter from Halifax,
of the 9th instant, says:
" Sir John B. Warren is momentarily expected
here, with five sail of the line and a number of fri-
gates ; it is understood that he is invested with powers
to negociate and conclude a peace with our Govern,
ment ; or, if yon will not come upon terms with him,
to unkennel the dogs of war against you."
Quere—ls Sir B. Warren coming out in the cha-
racter- of Mr. Copenhagen Jackson, to negociate a
peace—will he demand the surrender cf our tight
little navy, together with the abandonment of our
impressed seamen, and the right of navigating the
ocean, as the terms upon which peace is to be pro-
itsred ? If so, the result may be easily foreseen ;--
but if he comes in a real spirit of amity, the impedi-
ments can be easily removed.

ANSWER OF TUE PRESIDENT TO TILE STATE OF
. NEW JERSEY.

Siit —I have received the Address from the Co-
nvention of the Republican Delegates from the several
counties, &c.
4, When the United States assumed and established
their rank among the nations of the earth, they as-
sumed and established a common sovereignty on the
high seas, as well as the exclusive sovereignty within
their territorial limits. The one is as essential as the
other to their character as an independent nation.—
However conceding they may have been on contro-
vertible points, or forbearing under casual or limited
injuries, they never can. submit to wrongs irreparable
in their kind, enormous in their amount, and indefi-
nite in their duration ; and which are avowed and
justified on principles degrading the United States
from the rank of a Sovereign and Independent
Power. In attaining this high rank, and the inesti-
mable blessings attached to it, no part of the Ame-
rican people had a more meritorious share than the
people of New Jersey. From none, therefore, may
more reasonably be expected a patriotic zeal in
maintaining by the sword the unquestionable and in-
alienable rights acquired by it, and which it is found
can no otherwise be maintained.

FALL OF FORT DEARBORN, AT CHICAUGA.
Buffaloet Sept. 15, 1811 s;
Char

Yesterday afternoon the Queen _Aarlotte arrived
at Fort Erie, in seven days from Detroit. A flag
of truce soon landed at Buffalo Creek, Major At-
water and Lieutenant John L. Eastman, who gave
the following account of the fall of Fort Dearborn.
On the Ist of September, a Pottawattamie Chief
arrived at Detroit, and stated, that about the mid-
dle August, Captain Wells, from Fort Wayne
(an interpreter), arrived at Fort Dearborn, to ad-
vise the commandant of the FOrt to evacuate it and
retreat. In the mean time a large body of Indians
of different nations hail collected and menaced the
garrison. A council was held with the Indians, in
which the Indians agreed that the garrison should
be spared, on condition that all property in the fort
should be delivered up. The Americans marched
out, but were fired urn and nearly all killed.—
There were about 50 men in the fort, besides women
and children, and probably not more than 10 or 12
taken prisoners. Captain Wells, and Captain Heald
(the Commandant), wete killed. •
The affairs at Detroit remained.without any ma;
teml change.
