LATEST FROM HALIFAX.


1--WE have bad news for privateersmen.
The boat Charlotte has just arrived from
Halifax, in days, and brought home Mes
sieurs Newman and Bennett, officers of the
Boston privateer Curlew, the crew of the
Pickering, and several other prisoners-
The Charlotte was captured by the Juniper
schooner, near Seguin, but OH arriving at
Halifax, and being proved to be coaster,
she was Immediately released by Admiral
Sawyer The Curlew was captured the
18th July, by the Acasto, after chase of
two hours.
"The Charlotte lett in Halifax the priva-
teer or letter of Marquc Catharine of ID
guns, belonging to Boston, and which was
last week reported to have taken the Plum
per. She was Captured b, the Emulous
brig, OF l8 guns, after an engagement one
hour and an half, had her Doatswain killed,
and first Lieutenant wounded. She also left
the Gossamer brig priga;eer, of Boston, of
II guns, likewise taken by the Emulous-
The United States brig Nautilus had arri-
we'd there.
The British brig Emulous, of 18 guns,
has been lost in fog, on Cape Stables and
the crew are to be transferred to the Cur
lew, which is to be fitted out as Kings YES
sci.
"There were nearly seven hundred A
merican prisoners in Halifax, when the Char
lotte lett there, who were well treated.

OF earis, that according to their situations
on the frontiers or marches, in the interior
OF the Country, or on the Rhine. took this de-
nomination. The counterbalance this ducal
power, the emperors created provincial pail
aunes, who with regal commissions, and with
the assistance of hurgaves, in the principal
towns, were enabled i'll a great degree to
check the jurisdiction of the dukes, and TO
add to the imperial perogative. To these
we may add the clergy, who, from the sane
tity of the clerical functions, or from the
weakness er design of the emperors, obtain
cd prodigious influence in the body polite of
Germany. In the German constitution may
be plainly discerned the leading idea of the
confederation of the North American States,
the latter having improved the German con-
stitutional codes by adopting the most liberal
lectures of the English frame of government.
The Emperor, like the President of the u
nited States, had dispensing power in the
administration of Justice. superiutended the
mint, nominated to Offices, and convoked the
General Diet of the states. This Dict, com
posed of the representatives of the several
states of the empire, enacted laws of gen.
eral nature, had the power of impeachment,
and, like the Congress, decided questions OF
peace or war. The individual German
States, like those Of the Union, held pecu-
liar sovereignty, and administered law with
respect to their local affairs without control.
If any person is disposed to investigate the
fse, progress and decay, of the Gcrmanic
body more infinitely, he may be amply gra-
tilted by consulting the particular histories of
the Diets of Nuremberg and Metz, held A.
y. 1856, when the ordinances of the Golden
Rule were proclaimed; of the Diet of
Worms, held in the year 1895, when the I'M
perial chamber was established for the set
tlement of disputes between the individual
German States of the Diet of Treves and
Cologne, in 1912, by which Germany was
divided into circles; of the Diet of Augsburg
i'll 1855, which gave a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
to the protestant religion in Germany OF
the treaty of Westphalia, which regulated
and strengthened the constitution ofthe en-
p;le; and also the histories of the treaties
of Luneville, OF Presburg, of Tilsit, and the
more recent convention between Austria and
France, which Immediately preceded the
family alliance between the Houses OF Lor-
Taine and Bonaparte. G.

UPPER CANADA.
PROCLAMATION.

The unprovoked declaration of war, BY
the United States Of America, against the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
and its dependencies, has been followed by
the actual invasion of this Province in a re-
mote frontier of the western District by a
detachment of the armed force of the Uni
ted States. The officer commanding that
detachment has thought proper to invite his
Majcsty's subjects not merely to quiet and
unresisting submission, but insults them with
call TO seek voluntarily the protection of
his government Without condesCending to
repeat the Liberal epithets bestowed in this
appeal of the American commander to the
people of Upper Canada, on the administra-
ton of his Majesty, every inhabitant of the
Province is desired to seek the confutation
OF such indecent SANDER in the review of
his own particular circumstances where is
the Canadian subject who can truly affirm
to himself, chat he has been injured by the
Government in his person, his liberty or his
property Where is to be found in any part
Of the world a growth 50 rapid in wealth and
prosperity as this colony CXhibIts.-Settled
not thirty years by band of veterans, exil-
ed from their former possessions on account
OF their 10y atty, not a descendant of these
brave people is to be found, who under the
fostering iiberalty Of their sovereign, has
not acquired property and means OF enjoy
me0t superior to what were possessed by
Their ancestors.
This une1ualcd prosperity could not have
been attained by the utmost liberalty OF the
government or the perscverIng industry Of
the PEOPLE, had not the maritime power of
re mother country secured TO its colcnIs.s

The launches, on approaching near the

when the launches were compelled to heave
round, and stand out of the harbor. Satur-

about $50 or 400 men, came to the mouth of

Mr. Ba1fzg said, government had acted
witn great proprety and good sense in Civ
ing up the Orders literally and uncondition-
ally The commercial, manufacturing and
every other interest i'll the nation, he believ-
cd, would experience beneficial effects from
the measure. With regard to America, he
thought she. az least, ought to- be satisfied
with this arrangement, and he had no doubt
she would be 50 III reality, nor attempt more
TO impose any terms inconsistent with their
former declarations, or the honor of England.
Sir r. Burdeft joined in the wisdom of
the Prince Regent in he measure but he
wished 10 call attention to the subject of the
imprc ssnent Of American seamen, which,
perhaps, was more important than any o.
tha.
Lord Casfiereagh declared, that in the
present stage of negotiation with America,
the most active steps had been taken to put
an end to CHS source Of misunderstanding
Our Ambassador had asked II list Of all per-
sons IN our navy, who we're supposed to be
American seamen, and when that list was
procured. their cases would be, forthwith,
inquired into.
Mr.. Ponsonby entertained very little

Mr. Whifbread had no doubt this measure
wIuld prevent the breaking cut ut Aostiiite
