NEW YORK, MARCH 5.
The National Intelligence, suggests that an enquiry
will be instituted into the conduct of one or more of
the principal Commanders on the Northern Frontier
in October and November last.
The Federal Republican announces, that an order is
;soled and forwarded for the arrest of General Wil-
kinson.

WINDSOR, FEBRUARY U.
Our Readers have already been informed of the
evacuation of this post by General Wilkinson's army.
We are informed, that the sacrifice of public pro-
perty has been immense : that all the barracks, block-
houses, hospitals, and Commissary stores ; and all
the boats and water-craft, including several sloops,
amounting in all to 328 ; together with a considerable
quantity of provisions, which could not be got off in
season, were committed to the flames, to prevent their
falling into the hands of the enemy.

KEENE, FEBRUARY 19.
By a Gentleman who left the French Mills on Sun-
day last, we are informed, that, on Saturday. the
boats in Salmon-River were burnt by order of Gene-
ral Wilkinson, and on Saturday all the barracks were
set on fire.. On the latter day, the army commenced
its march, a part for B,ml:et's Harbour, and the re-
mainder towards Malonne and Plattsburgh : an at-
tack is exp:cted on the latter place the harbour is
also thrP it. n-A, and Wilkinson's army was threat-
ened ; heitce the necessity of concentrating the forces
even the immediate sacrifice which has been made.
The troops, said to be reduced to three thousand,arel
at present in good health.

LATEST FROM CANF.AAL' FLOYD'S ARMY.
We have learnt with equal surprise and regret that
an alarming- spirit of insubordination has made its
appearance in our army : such an event at the pre-
sentiiinctu-e is much to be deplored ; the last two
letters from General Floyd :re of a more encouraging
nature, and give reason to hope that he will be able
to bear up againt the numerous difficulties which en.
isompass him : the sufferings of the men have un-
doubtedly been great.
• FORT STROTHER, DECEMBER 4. •
" At a General Court Martial, convened for the
trial of such prisoners as might be brought before said
court, Lieutenant Thomas Stanford, and Ensign
Isaac Lamb, of the second regiment Tennessee Mi-
litia, being arraigned on the charge of Desertion,
pleaded guilty, and offered nothing in extenuation of
offence.. Whereupon the court (after mature delihe-
ration'had upon the charge and the confessioni of the
prisoners) feel constrained, though with painful emo-
tions, to sentence the said Lieutenant Thomas Stan-
ford, and Ensign Isaac Lamb, to Death, to be in-
flicted by Shooting: But the court, on account of
the apparent ignorance of the prisoners, 'and taking
into consideration that this is the first offence with
which they have been charged. beg leave to recom-
mend them to the mercy of the Commanding General.
(Signed) ISAAC ROBERTS, B. G.
and President C. M."
" After the foregoing sentence was pronounced by
the Court, and before it was presented to the Com-
manding General for his approval, the Court again
took into c•nsideration the.said sentence, and the
following sentence was substituted therefore, viz.-
- " This Court, hiving heretofore, with the deepest re-
gret, thought it just and expedient to pronounce a
sentence of Death against Lieutenant Thomas Stan-
ford and Ensign Isaac Lamb, of the 2d Regiment
Tennessee Militia, upon a reconsideration of the same
entertained serious doubts whether the solemnity and
novelty of the punishment may not deter many meri-
torious characters from accepting military appoint-
ments under our Government, and the Court also
felt serious apprehensions that in the present disturb-
and insubordinate state of this army, the Cora-,
=ander in Chief will not exercise the clemency which
has hitherto- uniformly distinguished his character.
The Court, therefore, do sentence' the said Lieu-
tenant Thomas Stanford and. Ensign Isaac Lamb, of
Captain Gordon's Company, 2cl Regiment Tennessee
Militia, to be cashiered, and that they be dismissed
from d:e service in the following infamous manner:
that is to say, that the said prisoners have their fetes
-blacked all over, and five rations of beef and meal
about their swiss, their coats turned wrong side out, wish
label DISERTION on their bads; the prisoners to be furnished
with wooden swords, sad their own swords poinkd at their
bacls, and thus to be drummtd around the lines of the
Isaac
three time: bare-headed, and thin dismissed. And the
Con! t further order, that this sentence be published
ail the Newspapers printed in the State of Tames•.
see, for three months. (Signed) • •
" Isaac Reitman, B. G. and President C. 14 "
" The Commanding General approves the sentence
of the Court-martial, whereof Brigadier-General Isaac
;..bents is President, and orders the sane to be car-
ried into effect between the hours of ten and twelve
o'clock, on the sth instant, and that the Adjutant of
the regiment, to which the prisoners belong, superin-
tend the execution of the same. •

Their contents are interesting.-.—BONAPARTI, if we

crus, whose name has been frequently before the
public, commands the escort. He had previously,
however, declared his adherence to the BouanoN
dynasty. Poor Cardinal Ma.uar has definitively
left France.—We presume that he has accepted of
the high office of Father Confessor to BONAPARTE,
and Vicar General of the Island of Elba. This
man possessed splendid talents but not a particle of
honour or. integrity. The unfortunate Louis XVI.
rewarded his eloquence with a Bishopric—Bmt-
iAßTZ purchased his services with a Cardinal's Hat,
but the contempt and exectation of the whole civi-
lized world are now the fruits of his venality ! May,

like that of his last master, live in the page of history

Yesterday the Loan MAYOR, the Aldermen, Re.
corder, Sheriffs, City Officers, and Common Council
of the City of London, waited upon .his Majesty
Louth XVIII. King of France, at Grillon's Hotel, in
Albemarle-street, with-the following Address, which
was read by JOHN SILVESTER, Esq. the Recorder :
" To His Most Christian Majesty LOUIS the EIGHTEENTH,
King of France and Navarre.
" The ADDRESS of CONGRATULATION of the Loan
MAYOR' ALDIRIIIIN, and Commons of the City of Lon-
don, in Common Council assembled.
" May it please your Most Christian Majesty i
" We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City
of London, in Common Council assembled, beg leave to approach
your Majesty with the tender of our sincere congratulation upon
the great and glorious events which, under the guidance of a
gracious PROVIIMICC, have led to the deliverance of your people
from a tyranny as oppressive as any that has ever enslaved and
afflicted mankind.
" It is matter of cordial gratification to the people of this
country, that thiring the wide and desolating ravages of war, a
safe asylum has been found in these happy realms for the Royal
Family of France.
" The day is now arrived when your Majesty is called upon to
convince your people and the world, that the Sovereign of France
has incalculable blessings to dispense to his gallant and faithful
subjects, who are eager to behold their beloved Monarch, as
ample and glorious amends for the calamities they have so hog
endured.
" That your Majesty may long sway the recovered sceptre of
your illustrious ancestors—that you may prove a blessing to your
people—and that the two countries of Great Britain and France-
may be so Indissolubly allied by the relats of amity and con
cord, as to insure and perpetuate to both, and to Europe at large,
uninterrupted peace and repose, is our sincere and fervent prayer."
To which Address his Majesty was pleased to return
the following answer :
"My Lord, Gentlemen—l thank you with all my heart fir
your obliging address and kind wishes.
" It Is, I dare say it, as gratifying for my pride, as affecting
for my heart, to receive the felicitations of the city of London on
so happy au event.
" Never shall I or my family forget the asylum afforded to
us—the stand of England against tyranny—and the poem tul aid
which has enabled'my people to speak freely their sentiments of

loyalty.
" For my own part, I Ilan always be anxious to promote be-
tween the two kingdoms' a friendship which alone can aware
their mutual felicity, and the repose of the world."
The citizens on this singular occasion were not only
most graciously, but most tenderly and familiarly
treated by this August Perionage. The Gentlemen
of the City were afforded the best opportunity of see-
ing him, as his Majesty had before managed -that
they should occupy in ranks two rooms of the Hotel,
and his gout being somewhat relieved, he walked be •
tweets them, and shook heartily the hand of every one
who was disposed to join in that act of civility. The
Address having been read as usual, his Majesty
drew from his pocket the written answer, and repeat-
ed it himself very distinctly, and with an excellent
pronunciation of our language. He frequently men-
tioned afterwards, in the way of interlocutory re-
mark, his high sense of obligation for the asylum
afforded him in this country, and his anxious wish
for perpetual friendship and alliance with the British
nation.
His Roy') Highness the PRINCE Ream' lett
Carlton house this morning at half-past seven, in his
travelling chariot, and proceeded on the road to
Dover, where he is to await the arrival (Allis Majesty
Louts XVIII.
At half-past eight o'clock his MAJESTY, attended
by a small escort of cavalry, left Grillon's Hotel, and
proceeded down St. James's-street, along Pall-Mall,
CQckspur-street, and Whitehall, to the Dover road
by Westminster Bridge. His MAJESTY was accom-
panied a short way by the Duke of Sussex on horse-
back in his Highland uniform. The hour of depar-
ture- of the PRINCE REGENT and of Lows XVIII.
having been,kept quite secret, almost no crowd at-
tended on the occasion. His MAJESTY was attended
through Kent by Marquis CASIDEN, as Lord Lieute-
nant of the County.
The Yeomanry Cavalry are to assemble at Can-
terbury this afternoon, and a large portion of the
artillery from that depot forms part of the cortege
from thence to Dover, arid will fire a royal salute at
the moment of embarkation.
Lord MeLvate, with the Board of Admiralty, will
'also be present at the embarkation, and the Kist; will
be escorted to his dominions in the Royal Yacht by
the Duke of CLARENCE, Admiral of the Fleet, and a
squadron of British ships of the line. On landing in
his own native France, Lows XVIII. will be received,
it is said, by the French cavalry, accompanied by se-
' veral of the French Marshals.
The following communication from our Dover
Correspondent, describes the preparations making at
that place for the reception of the Royal Visitors :
" Dom, 42d April, 1014.
" The bustle has begun this day, by the arrival in
our harbour of the ROYAL SOVEREIGN yacht, Captain
Sir JOHN BERESFORD. The pier-beads were filled by
numerous spectators to witness her entrance ; and al-
though the wind blew directly out of the harbour, she
was hauled into-the basin without sustaining any da-
mage.—His Majesty the King of FRANCE, ,owing to
his infirm state, will embark on board the yacht
mediately on his arrival, where a dinner will be pre-
pared, and his Royal ,Highness the PRINCE Ream,
will dine on board: his Royal Highness will *het;
Arards go the house of Mr. FECTOR, where he will
sleep, and the yacht will sail with his Majesty about
noon on Sunday. Two troops of Dragoon Guards
have arrived, to do the duty of Guards of Honour :
the Nottingham militia will come in from Deal to-
morrow, to assist the troops here (the Rutland, Gil-
way, and Londonderry regiments of militia) in lining
the streets.
" The Lady Frances packet, Captain Rurrea, his
arrived from Boulogne, and has brought over the
Counts De CHOISEUL, De MONTNIORENCIR, and De
PORI'ZRAY, and Mons. PERIGORD, nephew to the
Prince of BENEVENTE.
" Our town is to be illuminated

night."

A further supply of Bremen Papers reached us this
morning; but with the exception of some documents
which satisfactorily prove that the change of the Sove-
reignty of Norway from the Danish to the Swedish
Monarch is highly unpopular in Norway, the contents
of these Papers are unimportant.
Mr. STOCKDALE, jun. Bookseller, of Pall-Mall, had
.the honfonr of an audience of the King of FRANCK
yesterday, at his Majesty's Levee, when he presented
a letter and a superb Copy of the late Abbe de
'Acts's beautiful and prophetic Perm GA the French
Revolution, entitled 44 Le Mallow et la Nisi," appro-
priately dedicated to Louis the Welcome. It was
received by hi 4 blAizery with marks of most especial
Wow.
