Sir---I have the pleasure TO inform you OF

which for some time had been employed by
commodore Bercsiord for, the purpose OF burn

ed on board fishing smack, ran the enemy
along sides and carried him by coup de main.

FROM rHE LONDON STATESMAN.

The heart Of every British patriot must be
affected in the most painful degree, while
reading or contemplating the issue Of the
few naval combats We have had with them
Whom! Why, with ourselves as it were
With our truly Alter Ego, as the Sicilian sill.
Iy phrase is. What do ministers not deserve
who have involved their country In this un-
natural war But ovcubcaring insolcnce is
the concomilant Of weak minds. The A.
mericans were 10 be blown out Of the sea.
Such was the nausc Gus boasting OF their sla-
sish corrupt abouors. These very champi-
ons OF peu and ink will, in short timc be
put TO the proof for their own courage and
conduct. We shall see how manfully and
inIrepidly they will stanc by their prodigaI
patrons, when these are about TO fall. 1t
will be ten to one 5u, they give them push
themselves, and endeayor to make their a.
mende to an insulted public, by afirming
that it they had guessed them to be compos.
ed of such stuff they would never have sided
with ,hem. We feel the more indignation
against our unworthy rulers for involving us
with America, because it is plain, by the cor
respondcncc between Mr.. Joel Barlow, the
American Ininis,er, and the Duke OF Dassa-
no, at Paris, that America was anxious TO a.
void rupture with England. But We are
committed, and the loss Of the Peacock is a.
nothcr specimen of the bitter fruit Of this dc.
piored and detestcd quarrel

Information has reached US, by two men
who escapedfrom Detroit, that Col. Proctor
intends TO bescige this place again, and that
we may expect him with $500 regnlacs and

cannot be doubted, as we have repaired tho
forufca.ion considerably. Col. JoAnsoa's 70.

give us q respectable force. Onr situation
will bc much more advantageous than it was
AZ the former seigc, as the men will not be

the enemy has rctreated with all his force
from Lake Ontario with the intention Of cut
ting off this place. We shall be prepared
for them at all points and in any shape he
may make the attack.

CORRESPONDENCE.
sr7e We have been favored with copies OF
the following Correspondence between the
Committee, lately appointed by our Legis-
laturc, with powers to send for persons
and papers, during the recess, and one of
the Maior-Generals of our Militia, with
particular view to whom, We have no doubt,
this extraordinary measure was adopted.
We consider both the letters as highly in
teres,ing TO the cilizcns of this, and oil the
United States. In the one they will readi.
ly discern the jealousy and distrust of the
present dominant party in this State against
the General Government, for defending
their Frontier against the National Enemy,
(unless indeed some may imagine this En-.
ensy 10 be our best Friend. In the other,
they will perceive the frank acknowledge
ment of an independent Patriot, OF the part
he has acted in dischargng those duties,
which God and his Country had imposed
on him. This answer TO the Committee
will be a test of the views of the Massa-
chusetts politicians. Should their in,en-
tions be to organize our Militia against the
forces of the United States, Gen. KING
will certainly be removed from the COM
mand he now holds ;--should the object be
simply to acquire information on subject
which is interesting 10 the Commonwealth,
the Report of the Committee will be high
ly honorable TO the General |; and we shall
expect 10 find, at the next Session of the
General Court, an unanimous vote Of
thanks of both branches Of the Legisla-
turc conferred upon him, for his promp,
