which so emphatlcally characteristics
this fatal war. Another detachment oil
troops is annihilated j; and as FAR as We
can learn, under the most distressing,
and shocking circumstances. Probably
! not more than 80 or 20 men out oil the
1000 which he commanded, except
what few prisoners may have fallen into
the hands of the few British troops that
were in the engagement, have escaped
destruction Every disaster proves, in
the most decisive manner, the incom'
potency of the Administration, as we'll
as of their officers. This man appears
to have been utterly un6 for his place,
as Smyth, Hull, Chandler, or Dearborn
can be. 1t would seem, by newspaper
accounts, that il was known many days
| before, that an attack upon our troops
was meditated by the British and In.
disns and yet, no preparations were
made, the men were destitute OF ammu-
milton, and scattered about in one place
and another, the officers in houses, and
The General three quarters OF mile
from the troops. hus the soldiers
were shamefully left TO be butchered by
the savages.
We shall be very much mistaken, il
when the fathers, and mothers, and
brothers, and sisters, of these unfortu-
nate victims to the most abomineble
policy, learn the certainty OF their tate,
they do not begin To think, that we
are purchasing safety for British sea
men, and British deserters, al too dear
a rate 10 this account, however, Is 10
be added the long list oil victims 10 the
sword, the famine, aud the pestilence,
on The northern ftonliers, and the null
lltudes of decrepid and broken consii.
tations among those who have escaped
the Jaws of destruction.

black account--the consequences OF
which, all the dignity, and all the honor
they possess, will but poorly compsn-

WE this day present 10 the public the fol-
lowing list of Americans, natives of this
town, who have been impressed, from time
TO time, iato the service OF Grea, Britain, OH
board her floating dungeons. The list is
composed partly of what has been hetetoforc
published, (not including Messrs. Swaney
and House,) with the addition of several 9TH
ers. Some OF this number have been liberia
ted and made their escape, and have since
deceased--somc OF them are now living a.
mongst us--and some unhappily are now
groanlng nnde: that detestable servitude.
IL IS presumed we shall not be charged
WIN making this publication TO effect parry
purposes; our state election having termina.
ted, and the Republican party not having
made any opposition to the federal ticket.
Hence we probably shall not discover in The
JaeoOin printers any great anxiety 10 destroy
The validity OF the list--their end. are accom-.
plished--the works of deception have tri-
1mphed in Rhode Island, and cupidity and
avaricc, pricked on by British faction, have
sot the ascendancy. Let them enjoy their
triumph, II will be but of short duration.
We trust in, God, and the Justice of the A.
merican cause, to carry us triumphantIy
through the war, which has been waged for
the maintenance of our national rights TO
protect our seamcn from the unrelcnting
hand OF merciess tyranny. When this OBJ
Jcct shall bc.accomplished the federal faction
VIII shrink in dismay before the light Of
truth and reason, and will faIl,never NOSE TO
rise.

THE EMBASSY.

On this subject, the Democratic Press of
Monday, says" Measrs. Gallatn and Bay
ard, in conjunction with the prescn, Ameri-
can Minister at The Court Of Russia, MIR.
Adams, are authorized 10 negotiate treaty
OF peace, with Ministers appointed or TO be
appointed by the Court of Great Britain.
The negotiation to be carried on at St. Pc
tersburgh. Mr.. George Dallas accompanies
Mr.. Galla,in, as his private Secretary. Mr..
George Milligan accompanies Mr.. Bayard in
the same character. All those gentlemen
have been nominated by the President of the
United States, and are to be approved by the
Senate IL is expected that the embassy aud
suite will sail in the ship Nepinne from this
CITY, IN IA days, direct for ST. Petersburgh.
Arrangements have been made at the ci.
~ OF Washington for conducting the Treasu.
ry Department in the absence of Mr.. Gala.
I'm. The Secretary of the Navy will be the
ostensible Secretary of the Treasury 1t il.
expected that the Secretary of the Treasury
VIII not be absent more than six months.
we have not yet been able distinctly to
ascertain the arrangements consequent on
me acceptance by our government of the me-
dla!ion of Russia. 1t is probable, however,
that commission Of two or three persons
WILDE named by the United States to meet
such persons as may be designated with that
view by the enemy, at the court Of the me-
diator.--lhis we believe will be conformable
10 the usage OF nations on similar occasions.
indeed, 1t is very audiby rumored, and cur
rent:y credited, that gentleman high in of.
hce, was to form one Of the legation, and
our present minister in Russia another. II
Is also said there is to be third commission.

shall be concluded they will doubles. be
made known to the public.--Meanwhi lille we
have though, it our duty to state the rumors
which are in circulation and which we are
convinced, have better foundation than ru.
mors mostly have"
We understand (says the United States
Gazet,e) that Mr.. Bayard, who is now in
Phi'adciphiA,s has received his letter of ap-
poln,mcnt from the Secretary Of state, in
which he is informed that Mr.. Adams and
Mr.. Gallatin are associated with him in the

out on their approach they were warmly received
by the Dolphin, who bore the brunt of The action;
the barges were beaten off by her, and two Of them
sunk. The remainder returned with the tenders
and renewed the action, which became desperate ;
after two hours fighting, they succeeded in gaining
the Doipbins deck, when the-conflict was dreadful
they pulled down the flag, yet hying and took pos.
session Of her, and afterwards the Lynx and Racers

engagement and all but three left her. 1t is stated
that she was got off by the British. AS respects

I.ewistown is free from the British can
non after twenty-five hours incessant attack
from Is and 52-round balls-only q lew
houses were injured. The enemy made an
attempt 10 land, but gave up their design,
lett their stations and anchored on the outer
side of the Lighthouse. 1t was supposed to
be their design to destroy the light, or pro-
cure water from pond one quarter of a
mile from the shore. The Militia went
down to oppose their landing on the 9Th INST"
The British squadron which was eudeavor-
ing to burn Lewis,own, has been bained in
its object-afler expending about one thou
sand cannon shot, eighteen and thirty-two
Founders, besides several shells, carrasses,
and the renowned Congreve Rockets !-Baf-
lied at Lewis,own, they have threatened to
dcmoish the Light House-perfectly charac-
leristic of their government, which would
destroy the light of reason, liberty, an6 JUS
