AZ the present crisis of our affairs hope the
reflections and advice OF piainroan will not be
considered as impertinent. Alter a long and
prosperous peace, VIZ have arrived at that state
which the enemies of our constitution have
predicted would BE fatal 70 oarrepublican IN

peace. Even such war should be conduct
ed by the greatest abilities of the nation. But
to conduct a war commenced against the wish
eS and the supposed interests ola large por-
ton Of the country, requires in our rulers, an
union Of great prudence, the most unsuspett-
ed integrity and impar,iality, and acknowledge
ed talents They should not only possess
these qualities, but the people should believe
that they possess them. Our government
rests upon popular opinion--How then can it
command the resources and direct the ener-

alarm, the n,istrust of abilities in those who

the suspicion OF integrity. A union OF both

OF war which shews the spirit and power OF

E9tfaet Of a letter. from Plymouth, dated
august S.
An affair happened here en- Monday evenS
ing OF which much will be attempted 10 be
made, and which is extremely regretted by all
the respectable part OF the town. Charles
Turner, Esq meniber of congress. in passing
through the street in the evening, was assails
ed by cry, here goes the war hawk, the
fellow who voted for war" Sc One man
went up to him and walked by his side, saying
9 he wished for the honor OF waking with
French nobility" Several others were by,
and some one either kicked him purposeIy, or
was pushed against him. Mr.. Turner was
near house, and went immediately in and
no further abuse, either in action or words,
was offered him. Several federal gentlemen
called to enquire ifbe was injured, and assured
him they would suppress all such conduct
You may be assured, that though we most
cordially condemn the conduct of Mr.. Tnrner
tor voting for war, yet that we decidedly dis
approve of all abuse and outrage"
We are happy to learn that the insult offers
ed Mr.. Turner was so tri1ing. It is not to
be justified and we join with the gentlemen
of Plymouth in lamenting and condemning
every species and degree of mobs.

At length we have received official evidence
Of the repeal Of the orders in council. On
this object, Mr.. Blake, the District Attorney,
took occasion to remark, in his speech yes
terday, that as the only cause of the war was
now removed, we should have peace in six
months. This opinion he expressed with a
most solemn asseveration. We agreee with
him that the only colorado pretext for the
war is removed; but as to the rest we give it
to the winds and say Judeus ahheAa credat."

forts which it would be necessary to take in
our reduction of Canada All our forces must
cross the lakes or the streams communicating
between them or issuing from them Our
forts on the lakes and their waters must be the
depots for the military stores for our armies,
and the points of communication with them.
This is necessary not only for their success,
but Tor their very existence. 1t would be the
height of folly for them to advance without a
free communication being open between them
and the United States. The command of these
waters, so important for the protection Of our
citizens and the preservation of our towns
and forts, SO necessary in all operations against
our enemies, pitched upon by ourselves to be
the scene OF war, the great object OF attack,
ON the success Of which we have staked the
issue of the contest Yes, these waters,
cannot write it without blush, these waters
are commanded by the Canadians con-
temptible Canadians, that were to be subdued
In six weeks after the declaration of war
that would not take a single state three months
to conquer, naval force SO contemplate, that
one of your active privateersmen would have
been superior to in less than fortnight and
the expence of which would net be equal to
the palace of one Of your rope contractors,
after the business of year or two In good
public jobs. Our little army under general
Hull had TO steal over more like spies, than
the boasled conqucror, for fear of being Inter
cepted by this patry naval force, and after all
had part Of his men and ammunition taken.
If the British command the lakes, you can
never take their garrisons. They may fight
as long as the fort is maintanabe, and then
move with ease to augment the force of the
next post-and it will cost more In expence,
waste and loss Of time, in marching an army
round one of the lakes, than the whole naval
equipment necessary to command the lakes
and to transport it by water, would amount to.
How shall we account for such conduct?
