AMERICAN PAPERS.
Today we give some further extracts from Ame-
rican Papers. Tl.ey contain, among other intelli-
gence, a melancholy List of Captures by American
privateers: oae, of these, the Surprize, of Baltimore,
has returned after a more than common degree of
success : she was sixteen times chaced, and as often

escaped—a proof that there is something in the builth
of an American vessel which our Ship-owners would
do well to imitate. Some letters from the Canada
frontier describe the posture of affairs as rather more

favourable to the Americans than they have been for
some time past. In all other parts of America they
seem to entertain no hopes of repelling the force
which the British are now bringing against them.

The account of Parson's having declared his ad-
hesion to the legitimate Government of France is
repeated in the American Papers, and that so cir-
cumstantially, that we can no longer doubt the fact.
We may, therefore, expect an arrival daily in Europe
with an official confirmation.

The Americans, from the proximity of their re.
sources to the Lakes, have'promised themselves, and
have obtained some advantages through their naval
means. The ultimate triumph, however, whigh they
anticipate, will prove illusive. Ibis true, that diffi-
culties to the transporting of ships from this country
in frames, have caused that project to be abandoned;
hut there is no difficulty in sending out carpenters.
Every one sent becomes effectively six or more; for
a part of the plan is, instantly on their arrival, to col-
lect a large body of such artisans as are in the habit
cf using edge tools, and placing them under the so-
perintendance of the British carpenters; by which
means, at no very remote pet iod, complete possession
of the Lakes must be obtained.

The probability is, it will fall considerably short of
this number,- but as the friends of war count on this
force, we readily grant it to them. Let us see, in The
result, what they will mike of it at the close j the
campaign. .;
It is now said that Government have given er the
idea of extending the naval force on the Lbbes—
whatever may be the conduct of the enemy. There
will be no fighting, it is said, between Chauncey and
jteo ; for until the British have their new ship ready,
they will keep within port ; and when they have it
added to their present force, they will be much supe-
rior to Chauncey:
