Sir B. Warren's squadron, it appears
by the news Of to day has arrived off our
coast. It's force is Of sufficient magnitude
90 blockade the Anne fican squadron. Here
then, We have reason to apprebend our ma.
val career is at an end for the present; for
it would be next to madness in our officers
to risk an engagement with so dispropor-
tionate a force. However painful it must
be to cur gallant commanders, and their
jealous crews to be lockedup in port, such
appears to be their mortiis Jag destiny.

SIR-I have been informed by Mr.. Morler,
that so long ago as the Sd OF last January, IN
consequence ofa written contamination from
Sir James Craig, his malesty's governor ge-
neral and commander In chief IN Canada, dat
ed. the 25th of November, 1910, acqualnt'ng
him with his suspicious of its being the lnten-
ton of some of the Indian tribes, from the
great fermentation among them, to make an
attack on the United States, and authorizing
him to impart his suspicious to the American
secretary of state he had actually doAc so
verbally TO Mr. Smith, your predecessor III
Office, and ON searching among the archives
ef this mission, have found the letter alluded
to of Sir James Craig, by which he dld autho-
rise Mi. Morier to make the communication
in question, as well as memorandum OF Its
having SO been made, as also an express de
elaration of Sir James Craig, that although
he doubted there would >not be wanting per-
sons who would be ready to attribute the
movements of the Indians to the influence OF
the British government, yet that his depart
ment were actually making every exeruon IN n
their power to assist in preventing their at
tempts.
This evidence, sir, of "a friendly disposition
to put the United States government on their
guard against the Vaccinations of the savages,
and even to aid in preventing the Calamity
which has taken place, is SO honorable to the
governor general of Canada, and SO clearly IN
contradiction to the late uniounded reports
which have been spread of coatrary nature,
th.t cannot resist the impulse have to draw
your attention towards 1t, not that conceive,
however, that it was necessary to produce this
proof TO the United States government OF the
tasty of such reports, which the character OF
the British nation, and the manifest inutility
of urging the Indians to their destruction,
should have rendered improbable, but IN or
der that you may be enabled, in case 1t shall
seem fitting to you, by giving publicity to this
letter, to correct the mistaken notions on the
subject, which have unfortunately found their
way even among persons of the highest re-
speetablity, only, as l am convinced, from
their having been misinforned.

Whereas the legislature of Virginia, at It's

gress on the subject of a renewal of the char
ter of the United States Bank the obliga-
tory effect whereof has been denied and dis
asowed by It's said senators, although from
the nature of representative democracy, the
representative can be considered in no other
light than as servant and necessarily bound
at all times to obey the will OF his superiors,
unless that will tend to the manifest violation
cs the cons tuition, which SO long as it exists,
is and ought to be viewed as the supreme iazv
