The Syren, owing to the lightness Of the

have done, had they entered the harbour
earlier. Lieutenant Stewart took. the

badness of the weather, was unable, TO
effect any thing until last evening, when
we had light breeze from the n. E.
At o'clock Ientered the harbour with
the Intrepid, the Syren having gained
her station without the harbour in stu
alton to support US in our RETREAT. AT
half past 9. laid her along side the Phila.

deck till the flames had Issued from the
spar deck, hatch ways and ports, and
before got from along side, the fire had
communicated to the rigging and tops ;
previous to our boarding, they had got
their tomkins out and hailed us
several times, but NOT gun was fired.
The noise occasioned by boarding and

congratulate you. only have to lament
that junction had not been formed with

as make no doubt they would have been
able to carry and,destroyt one or both of

arrangement but circumstancesre render.

much earlier than was intended, the
junction with the boats was consequently
defeated until the ship was on FIRE, and

honor to the author for his talents and cor
reGtuess throughout. But respecting Bo-
naparte's diplomatic skill, beg leave to
differ in opinion with him. am far from
being preiudiced in favor Of this extraor-
binary man, but candor tells me should
do Justice to his parts.
When in 1899, Bonaparte seized the
reins of government, Pitts policy had sue
ceeded so far as to raise against France
the most powerful monarchs OF Europe.
The emperorof Germany (ihe Italian prin-
ces vanquished) submitted to The law of
the vanquisher. That did not evince any
diplomatic skill. But when Bonaparte
succeededin forming a conGederacy with
henorthernpowers (Which England could
not break off but by crime) was it by mill
tary or political skilll
What constitutes the basis Of policy is
it a profound knowledge of the human
heart and can that man, "a man Of i'm.
penetrable reserve) be supposed to be a
stranger 10 it, when every action of his
life proves, that he turns to his advantage

OF the lake, and stretch himself on the DO

was
-" Fierce as ZEN furies

that the fishermen with more than ordina-

him with rifle ball, and both firing at
once fortunately dispatched him.
The people of thu neghborhood were
Immediately called together and the 1zgua-

shore.
On an admeasurenent it was found to
be loS feet and aR bali inches in length
and his size was proporunnably great.-
