1t is fact that the redoubtabe Sir James
l.. Yeo, who, IS The Montreal papers told US,
was to put commodore Chaunccy 10 school,
and teach him the sliments of seamanship,
has run into the inner har5or OF Kingston,
dismantled his vessels, and erected with their
guns battery on the shore. This galantex-
ploit he performed on learning that the Gen
eral Pike was finished, and that the American
commander, though inferior in force, was rea-
dy to bid him defiance on the lake In this
situation they were seen by one Of our squa-
dron sent in as flag of truce. Commodore
Chauncey, when our informant left Sackets
Harbor, had removed the guard boats by
whichhis flotilla had been surrounded, and was
ready to sail His object probably is, to at
tack the British in Kingston. We derive

1t having been represented that the militia

Of orders from the Secretary at War, we are
authorized to state that they were dismissed
in consequence of an agreement between the
Senators in Congress from Connecticut, an
agent depu;ed by Goycrnor Smith, and Cen
eral Armstrong. An understanding was at
the same time had that General Burbeck
should call upon Gov. Smith for such detach-
men,s of militia as might appear necessary
from time to time. 1t therefore appears that
the above mentioned dismissal was in was in
accord with the wishes of the State au,hori-

made were furnished in pursuance Of this a.

sentatives have any right to oct themselves ND
as judges OF his conduct, except It be an The

of ali things, the most dangerous to the liberA

is only thirty-six in number, and by induleing

biesome nature. The Senate, moreover, as a
political body, never die; one third $50 out eve

funct, as the House of Representatives, is. This
| continued existence gives time to mature plans,
| To pursue and adhere to a system, either good
or bad, and to put at defiance the opinions of
the House Of Representatives and even of the
President Their extraordinary powers also
give the Senators singular advantages With
