It is very possible that Sir George will at
sempt tn remove the British boundary TO
Grown Point, while the Lake is covered with
ice. Every eXertion ought to be made to
prevent such a disaster The enemy having
the command of Lake Ontario, will doubtless
direct all his energies to this quarter, in or
der to gain like ajcendancy on this Lake,
unless the idea of carrying the war into the
United States has been abandoned. The
enemy cannot get the immediate com
nland OF this Lake, by bulding-hence the
probability Of something being attempted this
winter.

SPIRI T OF THE ENGLISH PRINTS rs

oflNl Of ltE ENGlAlSi PRINTS.
We this day commence the publication of a
series OF remarks from the various English
prints, on the subject of America, with CO.
pies of which we have been favored by a gen
rleman lately returned from Europe. They
are OF voiuminous extent, and comprehend
the following British papers viz. the. Star.
Cohrier, Sun, Times, Chronicit, E1an,i,ieY,
Co6bett'S Register, and Varietv. We shall in
fulare numbers, occasionally continue these
extracts, as the absence of other matter more
immediately pressing, may permit. Our rea-
ders will find iii them, it not instruction, some
small degree Of amusement.
We have made it point to enquire of an
Intelligent and correct gentleman, who passed
many weeks 1t Client previous TO the 18th of
October, and who had daily opportunities, &
those OF the best, to ascertain the public oDn-
ion at that place, what was the relative de-
gree OF estimation in which the American and
british Minister'S were held there He in
forms us that the marks of attention to the A
merican Legation, by the public authorities,
as well as individuals of Client, uneo,.ivocallv
manifested their high sense of the political
skill and personal worth of the members COM
posing the mission.
On the 9th OF October, the anniversary OF
the Academy of Sciences and Fine Ars at
Client, the American Ministers were unani-
mouly elected members of the institution, and
invited to partake in the exercises of the occa-
sion-They accordingly attended. An Ora
ton on the objects of the institution was de-
livered and in the evening a sumptuous
Banquet was served mp to a numerous compa-
n.y. The British Commissioners were not
present !; nor do we know that they were in
vited-Ihe first toast was the prince of o.

Durable peace, to secure the liberty and indie
pendence of their country"s The effect
which this tesst produced was like instanta-
neous thundey and some minutes elapsed in
tumultuous applause, before Mr. Adams had
an opportunity to address the company. On
behalf of the American legation he returned
thanks tor the very flattering manner in which
they had been treated by the municipality OF
Client and particularly for the unexpected
and undeserved honor conferred on them by
the Academy. He then made some remark
Oh the Importance and great usefnlness OF
the Fine Arts, and concluded by giving as a
toast,

Our informant adds, that the Entertainment
was attended not only by the members of the
Society of Fine Arts, but by all the principal
officers OF the city, and some DISTINGUISHED
