Plattsburg letter of the 9Th init. Gen.
H's army was divided but the whole

would not be ftuation belt calcu-
lated to aid Gen. w. The late ex-

greatly fatigued the troops employed.
Some urforefeen delays appear to

clouded the military profpect.

The victory gained by the A
meficaps on Lake Erie, has excited
all enthuiafiic joy throughout the
United states 1 he two great polit-

with zach other for the honor Of
that victory, and all oppciition to
the war feems for time to be for
gotten, in the graft hca,ion Of nation
al pride which it has afforded.
The CONTEXT, if it ought ever to

Britain and the United States, on
the water. has indeed been crafty
ing to the Americans, and mortily-
ing to Bri,iih fpbiects, beyond any
