NEW YORK, August q

Extract OF O. letter from Boston, dated august
%, to the Editor Of the Mercantile .4dVer-
riser.
This day came in town, two seamen, who
state, that they arrived at Saco, in the ship
Belisarius, Morgan, from Belfast for Boston
which was captured on the 10th August to the
westward of the Grand Bank, by the British
sloop of war Morgiana, captain Scott, who,
after taking out her passengers, (52( gave her
up to bring heme the crews of the following
vessels, which she had taken Ship Bolina,
Fairfield, tren Alicant and Gibraltar, of Sa-
lem, with cargo of wine, salt and specie,
taken August 8, lat. Al, long. So ; brig Pru-
dence, Anderson, Of Charleston, from Dublin,
for New York, with passengers, taken August
10; and the prize crew of en- English brig
from Portsmouth, for Nova Scotia, in ballast
taken by the Benjanain Franklin privatcer of
New York, days before, and re-taken by the
Morgiana. They left the sloop Of war on the
18th inst $50 miles from Halifax, where she
was bound with the prizes. One Of the "a
boye scamen belonged to the Egeria, from
Copenhagen for New York, taken by the Nor
giana some time since, and was afterwards
cast away. This man refusing to fight against
his country when he heard OF the war, was
released. The Mergiana had spoken, to the
N. E. of the Banks, large coppered ship with
guns, from Gibraltar for Philadelphia with mo-
ney and states officer on board-had not
heard of the war. The Bolina, several days
previous to her capture, had spoken the pri-
yateer America, Of Baltimore. She left Glib
raltar 9Th July. So seamen, released y the
Morgiana, landed at Saco, from the Belisa-
rius.
Arrived here this day the British brig
William, (late Holman) of Teignmouth, from
Bristol, Eng. bound to ST. Johns, N. B prize

CHILLICOTHE, (Ohio) Aug. IS.
OHIO VOLUNTEERS ONCE MORE

A call has been made b, Gov. Meigs, for
800 volunteers from the lst division, to Join
the regiment of colonel Finey-and 300 from
the ID division, to Join the regt. of col M'Athur
S, 300 from the 5ddivision,to join the regiment
of col. Cass. Thus 900 brave citizens of Ohio,
have, (what 50 many earnestly desire,) the OPP
portunity of fighting by the side of the Ame-
rican patriots, who are already In Canada
From several sources, we have learned, that
the second company Of ChiIlicothe volunteers,
has made halt, at the rapids of the Miami of
the Lake. With them, we understand, is be-
tween seventy and an hundred pack horses Ia
den with -four: and at, or near the Rapids
are several hundred head of cattle for Hubs
army. The force is represented to be, not
sufficiently strong, to march with safety from
the Rapids to Detrot-as there are said to be
four or FIVE hundred Indians, near Brownsts wn,
who are somewhat hostile. 1t is stated, that
two companies of Volunteers have marched
from the upper part Of this state, to reinforce
the Chillicothe Volunteers.
Extract of letter from a volunteer who
marched from this hlace on the slst ult. to
one Of Editors, dated Ralhids Of Miami

I" We arrived here S days ago, all in good

ordinary happened en- our march SO far. We
have good weather-bad roads and very bad

Stark and Colnmbiana counties, one of which
arrived Thursday evening, the other went by
water to the river Kaison The company that
has arrived contains about As fighting men,
which with 10 regulars of the 4th regiment
which Joined us at Menary's block bovse-3o
from the blockheuse here--and some picked
up on the read, make our force amount to from
$50 to 200 men. There are expresses arriv-
ing continually, number of which are sus-
pected to be spies from the information
think of those that, can be relied on, it appears
that the British have taken possession OF
Brownstown, which is Males from Maiden,
automatically on the road to Detroit; they
have stationed about or 800 Indians there

pray God it may terminate in an honora-
BILE adjustment, but / much fear it is deep
trick to gain time to advance re ular forces in
to Upper Canada. The British officer has
boasted that he obtained compliance with all
he asked The brave spirit of our country
men is up, and the militia of this state are
competent to take Upper Canada at this mo-
ment. This trace is damper, and is receiv-
ed with sensations of great distrust and jca-
lousy.
A flag of truce arrived here last night to
exchange some prisoners. Three canoes like
wise arrived from Kingston, and bring the
confirmation of the fall of Fort Maiden. And
must our conquests rest at the threshold of
the enemy's door. AIlis commotion in Upper

who had rather fill their bellies with sbusks'
and be thought wise--than return to their Ia
TIERS house, confess that they have " wasted

ceiye the rewards of pcnitential sorrow.
We this day commence the publication OF
an Address Of democratic committee of New
York, acting under the authority of the gene
raj committee of correspondence of that state /;
but in. doing so, we are not to be considered
as committing ourselves OH the question OF
De Witt Cinton's qualifications, or as cen
curing with its authors on all the subjects
they have there discussed. We agree with
them in opinion when they clearly and deci-
sively demonstrate the fatal consequences
likely to result from the practice of congress
sional nominations of President growing into
usage---a nomination by set Of men who be-
ing constltu,ionally unqualified from acting as
electors, thus arrogantly and presumptuously
infringe upon the rights of the states But
when this "democratic committee" forcibly
and incontestibly prove the impslicy of the
war Fat the time it was declared the want of
the funds necessary for its vigorous and homo
rable prosecution when declared; the absence
of all prudent foresight in increasing in time
the number Of our forces ty land and sea, and
providing for their certain and completes main
tenance; in short,the incapacity palpably appa-
rent the conduct of the war department; we
hope these arguments will have due weight
with their political brethren, since they are not
(" Federal falsehoods," and we presume Will
not be considered as constituting " moral
treason

But, sir, from a militia of nearly eight
hundred thousand, we eau never be Al a loss
TO create a regular army of thirty or forty
thousand nor, sir, can our liberties ever be
endangered by that army, white we have an
armed militia of seven hundred thousand,

sir, Can we be at loss for commander OF
that army, even should Gen. Wilkinson be
