IL Wellington should think Of marching III.
to France, by either OF the four great roads or
passes, leading 70 the Pyren!an Mountains, he
will find tho following strong holds the first
pass through the province of Biseay, is l}ilbpa,
Santona, ST. Sebastian, Fontarabia. The Sec
ond pass is through the province Of Navarro;

fonia, has the follwing strong holds Valen-
cia, Muryiedro, Segorbc in oil, sixteen strong;
holds in possession Of the French eight Of
which are of the FIRST order. Now We put
this question to the learned Geogra1shieai A,3-

II the Emperor Alexander was six thoniha
In reducing Thorn and Sfopdau, between tho
Visfuta aud the Elbe, two fortified places out
Of ten, how long will il take Lord WeIings
ton to reduce sixteen strong holds In Spain,
garrisooed by French troops ! The Msjoc
will be SO good as to le. ua have his answer
as soon AS convenient.
II appears from the last dispatches Of gem
eral BOYD, says the Baltimore Wing, TINT q
number of friendly Indians have ut length
been received into the ranks OF our army, and
that their frs, operations, in conjunction with
q detachment. of Americans, hsvo been at,crT
cd with success. This measure Of just retail.
iation onthe enemy has been very eluctanuy
adopted by government More than twelve
months have clspscd since The commence.
mcik Of hoslilities on our pari. During. all
this Tine, thc enemy has been waging cruel
Indian warfare on us, IL violation Of III the
principles OF morality, civilization and hu ghaa.
i,y, and regardless Of the universal: iudiynotiod
which his conduct On this subject has excited
among msnkind. Administration have beer
constantly urged to rc.aliate on the Britshby
the employment of the Indians to fight against
them they have frequently beon admouishi
cd TO it in congress-, by whom they have bced
expressly authorized 10 enforce aripid rctalias
ton on all the excesscs and crueltes Of ih6
enemy. But the humanity OF the President
s,emmed the torrent Of the public irritation
and vengeance agains, tho British. lie for.
bore, as long as possible, TO rctor upon thu
enemy like for ike aud even now he has on
ly rctorled IN part. The Indians on our sicc
have committed no excess and from the dcss
patches OF general Boyd, II is evident that Pc
culiar pains have been taken to teach them d
rigid respect for the established laws Of hul
manly and civilized combat. Itis prohabic
that they never will transcend these, without
the hostile Indians should sgain bc urged by
the British to massacre and scalp our people.
We trust that, in that even,thc Indians friend.
ly TO us wilt be pcrmiltcdto extend 10 tho
enemy the horrors of savage warfare. This,
once done, will shcw the enemy that il is biz
enteres. no longer to employ the savages %
fgh, against US.
The foregoing facts and remarks es,abiish;
beyond doubt, the scrupuous humanity and
benevolent feelings Of the president. They.
establish the assertion, that the Indians mty
be restrained, even In the heart Of cornict
from the com omission Of cruel excssses, and
that the Brltish are alone to blame for tho
bloody massacre of our people on the north
western frontier, and on The Canadian boIderG
1t is impossible for sane man to entertain d
doub, on the subject. History and tho uni-
vcrsal opinion OF the civilzedcd world will
alike " damn to everlasting fame" the savage
and brutal conduct Of the British government,
and their dc5asscd aad more cruci Aiacrica6
