the afternoon ] repaired TO the smoking,
burning ruins, and found only a few houses
standing, that had been spared at the entrea-
ties of the omen and the aged; and these few,
with one or two exceptions, nearly plundered
Of their all. Desks, bureaus, clocks, looking
glasses, and such things as could not be car
ried off, were broken 10 pieces, and even
beds cut open, the ticking taken of, and the
feathers scattered 10 the winds. Even ne
groes' cabins were reduced TO ashes, or plum
dered of their scanty pttance OF furniture and
meat. The attack on US commenced liuIe
after day, with 20 barges and about 700 men
and canister, grape, ls ID shot, and rockets,
few over the towns and fields in every direc-
,ion. We fortunately had no men killed, and

and some killed.
i am now fully satisfied in my own mind
that they cannot take Baltimore, il your troops

We have asserted, (ss,s the Boston Patriot) and
repeat with sensations of pride, that country
has had to blush at any disaster our
frontiers that of Gen. HuPs shameful surrender X
cepted. The brave dash at the British the heights
of Queenstown, was glorious deed for raw troops
and militia. The loss Of Brock this occasion was
heavier stroke TO enemies than the capture of
our men TO We have recovered from onr
loss, they never have supplied theirs. Brock was
to them AN host.
The conduct OF our biave fellows under WI NtA-
ESTER, when surprzed by the Indians, and their al
lies. the English, was truly heroic. They did all
that men could do and their conduct inspired the
British with respect for American bravery.
The conduct OF DEhRBoRN and CuAuNcEY is be-
yosl all praise. The promptness of their embarka-
ton at Sackets-harbor, and their land At the cap
sl of Canada and then taking the forts the point
OF the bayonet the moment after the tremendous
plosicn, would have done honor to the troops Of Ma
poleon We repeat it, excepting Gen Hull's SUR

How, in the world, ask the opponents Of
the war, with smirk of wonderful sagacity,
how will the conquest of Canada help liberale
our seamen Indeed What a mercy it is,
that these wise and acute reasoners did not
happen TO have the direction of affairs in the
year l776. They would, at once, have con-
cluded, that the CAPTURE Of Quebec had moth
ing to do with the dxy on tea, and the right
to bind usin all cases whatsoever. They would
have demonstrated, tina, the only fair and le-
gal mode of resisting Great Britain, was to
wait, until she should take her ground of an
noyance I; and never strike blow, except to
ward of hers. Fortunately for orr country,
such logcians were not then in fashion. And

From present appearances the war is likely
10 last some considerable length OF Time, 1t
the ministers Of England continue deaf ear
so the voice Of reason and justice. By the
war the following good effects will result to
us i've shall have acquired national honor,
which had become all important TO US. lhe
Irritation Of faction will probably subside, and
genuine American feelings occupy every
heart. II is the solemn duty o. every man,
10 guard and defend our sacred rights and
never to surrender them to any power on
earth IL is not our business az present TO
occupy our time in idle debate, to ascertain
whether England or France have plundcred
US to the greatest extent each and every one
of us should cndcavor all in our power TO pre-
vent any nation from acting in like manner
hereafter. The contemplate warfare adopt
ed by England in burning houses along the
coasts and bays, must excite the indignation
og every lover OF his country 1t teaches us
what we are TO expect from this impc:ious
and savage enemy. We must defend our
selves as becomes a nation, and the sooner
We adopt this determination, the bettcr.--.
Our manufacturing establishments are increa-
sing in all directions, the success attending
them is almost surprising belief. Every far
mer finds il his interest to augment his Hooks,
and from the diversity of climate which our
extended and fertile country presents, expe-
nence instructs US that the mcrino wool be-
comes better than when originally imported
Cotton yarn will soon be an article OF i'm

most extensively worked, for our use and be-
nc6t. The ,sgacious rulers OF England will
shortly render this country altogether indc-
pendent of her, as TO cloathing OF every kind.
Every American should earnestly, pray that
the enlightened and pious prince regent
should continue in power his present tayo-
rites. Prodgics of wisdom like themselves
are not TO be found in the nation. They must
certainly be the true and legitimate descend
ants of that eminent statesman, Lord North.

They have forced us to become a naval

given to us such a navy as we are likely to
have In twelve months from this time.
