pLYMOUTH-DOcK, June is.

The investigation into the cause of the late
FIRE in this yard, still continues: and the ges
neral opinion is strengthened by many reports
of its having been done by an incendiary. At
kins and Lovandcr, the Bow street officers;
are come down to assist In the detection Of the
offenders. A suspicious person in Dock, but
few days previous to the fire, left it on Nom
day morning for Turpoint, from thence tools
chace towards Falmouth, and is closely purs
sued.
A very serious kind of mutipy has recent
ly taken place on board one of his Majesty's

been copied, and sent to the captain, altering
the name only. Three seamen are discovered
to be concerned, who are in heavy irons, and
will be broughtto court martial in few days.

AS for the holy affection of some leading
democrats for the Union of the States, it is
peculiarly marked by motive which sways
the whole of their conduct, viz self-aggran-
dizement. A dismemberrnent of the states
would at once consign them to oblivion, by
destroying their ill-gotten and much-abussd
authority: Loaves and fishes would no more
hold out their tempting lure, to inspire them
with the most ardent love of country This
is the true, if not the sole reason of their pas
sionate attachment to the Union and could
more be obtained by its overthrow than by its
preservation, we believe there are men e

The Federalists reverence the Constitution as
the instrument of national liberty, prosperity,
and happiness: and sincerely do they grieve
to see its powers abused for any other pur-
pose. Has not this been the case? Has Com

people in general prosperous and happy =
Let any candid man reply.

weare informed, eremained closetted till a late
hour. Report says, he came to communicate
to the commander in chief of the American
army, official information Of the repeal of the
orders in council, and that instructions had
been sent out by the British government to
Mr. Foster to open negotiations with our GO
vernment on all the points in difference be-
tween the two nations; but that in consequence
Of Mr. Fosters having Withdrawn from the u.
States, the governor general OF Canada pro-
posed an armistlce or suspension of arms until
the answer of the American government could
be Obtained to the overtures which would be
made to it on the part of the British court
What has been the result of the conference
between general Dearborn and colonel Baine,
we have not been able to lcarn-though we
are led to believe, as most probable, that
partial arIniStice, and for a short period, has
been concluded on.
g Another report says: That col. Baine was
in possession of the Instructions sent for Mr.
Foster; and that he came to this city, with In
tentlon to proceed to the seat of government
bat that permission to that effect could not be
obtained from general Dearborn.
Col. Baine left town yesterday on his re-
turn to Canada
