We understand that the Hon. WIIliGn1 Eustis
rendered his resignation Of the Oice Of Secretary o.
Wdr, 10 the President of the United States, on the

1t giyesus much pleasure to state our belief that
this resignation is the result OF ANY collision be-

THE MILITIA.

The events, which have TRANSFERRED on the very
threshold OF the war, are calculated teach us a
disagreeabic, but useful lesson--The cowartlice

of the troops under Hopkins, and now the militia
under Dearborn WAC are said to have refus ed to
cross the line, compelled him Co retire to winter

eyes To true situation.

any extravsgant degree, upon the Militia.
