met by capt. Hamilton and subaltern, who
delivered to me Gas he said) the orders OF
Maj. Gen. Harrison to the following effect

shew about one or one and half miles above
the Fort, and will conduct them to the Bril-
tlsh batteries on the left bank Of the river.
They must take possession of the enemies

Observing that the British force at their
large batteries was inconsidcrable, but that
their main force was at the old garrison about
river that the Indian forces were chiefly on
the right bank of the river " The balance
OF the men under your command must land
on the right bank opposite the first landing,
and viii fight their way through the Iodians
to the Fort," observing that the rout thus 10
be taken would be shewn by subatcrn Off
Ger there, in company with capt. Hamilton,
who would land the Perogue at the point on
the right bank, at which the boats would land.
The order of descending the river in boats
was the same as the order of march in line
of battle in solid column, each officer taking
position according 10 his rank. Col. Dudley,
the eldest col. led the van, and in this order
the river had been descended. As soon as
capt. Hamilton had delivered these orders,

Dudley and order him to take the men in the

by four Of our eighteen FOUNDERS, a twelve

1t would take TOO much of our own

which might be aJduced, to thew,
that our government have been, for
the lait twelve years, acting in fubler-

In the 6rf place, we refer him to
feveral of Mr.. Madifon's and Mr. JEFF

The manner in which OUT negoc'a-
tons with Great Britain have been
managed, fhews ffrong French bias
in our Administration. We allude TO
the perpetual difficulty of bringing
them 70 clofc. Whenever Great
Britain has ihewed a difpoftlon to
meet us upon the particular fuejeet
of complaint there has always been IN
troduted by our government fame ofb-
c, claim, or difficulty, which has an
fwered the purpofe far THE time berng'
of preventing the negotiation; nus
for example, Mr.. Rofe's million was
fruftrated, becaufe Mr.. Jeherion
would not condcfcend to recall his
Proclamation. Mr.. Erikine's arrange
ment was accompanied by an in,ul,-
ing remark, written by Mr. Madiion's
exprefs order and which ne knew
wou d proven, it, ratification IT there
had been no other objection to IT,
Mr.. Ja,klon, who had too much iplr'
it to be caiolcd and too much ienie
to be over reached, was difmiiled for
an infult which neither the PreGdent
nor his wiseR parafte was able to de
fine. For fevrral years the Orders IN
Council were he only fource OF COM
paint agaiuit the Britlih, on The fcore
d infringing our neutral commerce.
When there was a probability that
they might be adiuited, the bl9ekA-
ding Order of May 300 was brought
into queltion aud when the Orders
in Council and Blockades were all re-
fenced then the impeachment of Sea
men became point of the Taft i'm
po-tance-one, o. which the very IN
dependence of our nation feemed TO
hang
In the mean time, our Adminiitra-
ten not only put up with the fpolla-
