We cannot in conscience, knowing the

against Gen. Smy,h, for not going into win
ter quarters in Canada, whether prepared
or not, because, forSooth, it suited the con
veniencc ofContractorP cterB. Porserthathe
should do so. Gen. Smyth, we apprehend, has
been peculiarly unfortunate in having two
such powerful enemies rs Gems. Porter aud

is uncommonlv wealthy. and the owner of

TO be the master of ceremonies. and although
he had a. invited the quests" he did not

1t Sill be difficult to persuade us, who
have known Gep. 5. for twenty years, that
he is either dciciert in talents or courage.
Indeed, every person acquniuted with him,
knows, that for talents, tirmness, indepen-

left St. Mary's the 4th inst. and informs,
that Amelia Island, was taken possession of
by General Mathews, in the name of the
U. 5. and that the American flag was flying
at that place. A new Collector of the Gus
toms had been appointed, and American
vessels, loaded with goods, were permitted to
clear out coast-wise. British and other TO
reign vessels were permitted to enter as
formerly, and this regulation was ordered
to continue for one year. All British goods
arriving after possession had been obtained
| would be seized.
The revolutionists, who had gone to take
possession of st. Augustine (500 in number)
| on reaching that place were fired at from
the forts, and obliged to retire. The United
States troops had left Amelia and St. Mary's
for St. Augustine-and the brig Vixen was
ordered off that place by Gen. Mathews, to
prevent supplies from getting in.
Capt. Johnson also informs, that news had
Just been received, that the British armed
brig Raccoon, and frigate, with troops
from New-Providence, were OH their way to
reinforce the garrison at St. Augustine.
