AMERICA.

Some more American Papers and Letters have
reached us, via Liverpool. The following are ex-

tracts :

To secure the navigation of Lake Champlain, the
American Executive nave purchased and armed the
Hunter, Juno, Champlain, Jupiter, and Fox sluops.
They have likewise contracted for 1600 batteaux,
'which were nearly completed—they are thirty-seven
feet long and eight wide, and will carry about 45
men each. The British were actively fortifying the
Isle Aux Noix, and had a number of gun-boats at
Et. John's.

The report in some of the American Papers, that
Fort Wayne had been taken by a body of Indians,
from the Michiian territory, is contradicted in a let-
ter from Cincinnati, of the Ist of September, being
eight days later than the former account. The fears
of the inhabitants had given currency to the statement,
though it was extremely'improbable, as Fort Wayne
is a regular square tortaficauon, with bastions at each
angle, mounting 16 gulfs, and garrisoned 4%300
men. Since the rumour of its capture, General Har-
rison had detached thither six thousand men from
Kentucky, which had been intended to reinforce Ge-
neral Hull.
The inhabitants of many of the United States fron-
tier towns are not only averse from hostilities with
their British neighbours, but have declared, in Re-
solutions passed at public meetings, their determina-
tion to take no share in the war into which they have
been precipitated by their Government. . However
singular such a determieation may appear, it is cer-
tain that a commercial intercourse is sell carried on
on the faith of its strict observance. Even the British
• Commanders have recognised it.
An official notice, dated Halifax, August 5, signed
by General J. S. Sherbrooke and Admiral H. Sawyer,
ordered their land and naval forces respectively,
“ to respect the persons and property of the inhabi-
tants of New Brunswick and Eastport, so long as they
shall carry On their usual and accustomed.trade and
intercourse with any parts of the British provinces ;
nor shall this system of perfect neutrality be departed
from without due and timely notice being given to
the inhabitants thereof.,"
On the 2d September, Mr. Eustis, the Secretary
at War of the United States, forwarded, through
the medium of General Dearborn, some dispatches,
said to be of an important nature, to Sir G. Prevost,
Governor of Canada. The bearer was Major War-
lord, Aide-de-camp to Gen. Mooers, who commands
at Plattsburgh. Much conjecture was excited con-
cerning the subjoct of the dispatches, as their trans-
mission was so quick after the receipt of intelligence
Of General Hull's surrender.

General Hull passed through Albany on the Bth
September, as it was believed, on his return to the
seat of Government. His accuser, Colonel Cass,
had arrived at Washington some days preceding.—,
It is mentioned, in letters from America, that it ....3
the intention of the Executive to put the General
under arrest, preparatory to an investigation into his
conduct by a Court-Martial.—There could be 'no
impeachment'of his courage and capacity ;—it was I
therefore insinuated by the Government Prints, that
he was a Federalist, and that the surrender of the
army in Canada was the result of treason, in order
t• to throw opprobium on the Government which bad
L, seleued him to carry iato execution a favourite and
`well-arranged plan.

CORUNNd CAZEITBS.

CORUNNA, OCTOBER 12.
The Senor Governor of this place has received en"
official dispatch from Villa Toro, dated the 6th
in which it is said that our troops had taken by is-
sault the exterior works constructed by the enemy at
Burgos. The 24th English regiment behaved with
great gallantry on the occasion.
CORUNNA, OCTOBER 16.
On the Bth instant the Castle of Burgos continued
to resist, but had lost the exterior works, which were
taken by our troops by assault on the 6th. The re-
treat of Soult and his junction with Suchet entered
into Lord Wellington's plan. It appears, that as
soon as the Castle has surrendered, the greater part
of the alliedatmy will march against the united forces
of the enemy. Soult maintains himself between Cu-
enca and Valencia.

TOLEDO, OCTOBER 1.
On the 29th ultimo entered in this place the first
corps of General Hill's army, consisting of 9000
men ; yesterday as many more, and to-day 4000
Portuguese, brilliant troops, with an excellent artil-1
lery, whose valiant General was received with inn-
mi nations, a ball, &c. &c. and this morning set out
with his Staff by La Mancha, in the direction of
Valencia. The vanguard of the fifth army has pass.
ed to the right of the Tagus. and Generals Penne
Morella have come to this city to compliment Gene-
ral Hill. More troops are to pass, and we are infor:
med the whole will amount to S0,00(i.

CONFIDENTIAL INTELLMENCE FROM CASTILE.
The French continue their incursions by la Rioja.
Latterly they made one upon Poza, and surprised
700 of Longa's troops, who slept there the preced•
ing night ; but they only succeeded in making 150
prisoners.

On the Bth, the Castle of Burgos had not surren.
dered, but this event was momentarily expected ; it
was then much weakened, and possessed but few
resources.

, Souk had already joined Suchet ; and it is there.
fore to be supposed his Lordshipls attention will be
called towards Madrid, because they have collected
some forces, though not so many as they expected ' •
and General Hill must be reinforced in order to ef.
fectually resist Souk.

MADRID, OCTOBER S.
On the 26th ultimo General Duran set out from
Soria to Catalayud with his battering artillery. Colo-
nel Gayan has blockaded the said city for some time,
and it is expected to surrender on the arrival of the
artillery.

On the 18th September, Marmont and two other
Generals arrived at Guipuscoa, escorted by 3000 men.
Caffarelli, Buquet, and another General have march-
'ed from Vittoria with 5000 men towards St. Sebas..
dan. There proceed with them many of the French
partizans, and 200 clergymen and friars. We can-
not determine what is the object or cause of this
movement.

•
• MADRID, OCTOBER 6.
Suchet and some troops belonging to the King,
on the 27th ultimo, made some movements upon Al-
manza and Requena, with no other purpose, it is
supposed, than to protect Soult's junction, who, on
the 25th, was in Huescar, Oree, los Villes, and
neighbouring places of the kingdom of Murcia.—
According to the latest intelligence, they would on
that day begin their march to cross the province of
Murcia. Every day ten or twelve Juramentados de-
sert to Villacampa. It is said that the French, find-
ing they can derive no advantage from the Spanish
troops who were in the service of the intrusive King,
have, in Valencia, disarmed 2000 of them.
