PEACE.

A great change of opinion, as to the
prospect of Peace, is acknowledged
by intelligent men Of both parties, at the
seat OF government. This desirable e.
vent, however, will be brought about,
merely and solely, from the incapacity
Of the government to carry on the war.
AS Mr.. Randolph predicted, the fame
will go ont OF itself. We should not
be surprised if the operation of the Tax
law should be deferred still certain
time not far distant, in expectation of
compromise with Great Britain, which
may render this odious and dangerous
resort unnecessary.

comsarison with their opponents as TO
talents, than in the late dlscussioa upon
Mr.. Webster's resolutions. NotXith-
standing this. after the manner of their
great prototype Bonaparte, they have
made splendid triumph cut Of their
signal defeat. True, they retreate6, and
at last fairly capitulated; but this was
only 20 shew their magnanimity," and
to prove to the world how easily they
could forego the sweets of victory. So

the Sylph and the Lady of the Lake had not
arrived at Sackett's Harbor with the rest
of the squadron, but were left in pursuit of
another of the enemy's schooners, which
they had cut off, and have probably cap
tured. Gen. Wilkinson arrived at Sackett's
Harbor on Monday evening last.1
The Steam Boat, which brought the a
bove most cheering and welcome news, did
not arrive till near 2 NJ. The docks were
crowded with citizens, and when the gallant
Chauncey's victory was proclaimed, the air
resounded with Huzzas ; and the national

public buildings in the city.

Uho suffers by the War ?


Every honest and industrious citizen
in the community, who depends upon
his farm, his trade, his store, his vessel,
or his labour, for the support of him
self and family. If he is Farmer, he
must dispose of his surplus produce at
a reduced price and at the same time
pay nearly double for every article OF
importation he purchases If he is a
Mechanick, he finds little or no en-.
ployment; the Merchant and those in
trade are in a manner thrown out oil
business, for commerce is annihilated
In addition to this, an enormous debt is
imposed upon the country vexatious
and burdensome taxes will be levied up
on all classes. What is still worse
many valuable citizens have fallen sa
crifce by the sword and the pestilence
and many more must follow, in conse.
quence of the war, which has been SO
