SIR-Hasing been called upon by the
Governor General OF the Canadas 10 aid
him in carrying into effect measures of re:a.
liation against the inhabitants Of the United
States, for the wanton destruction commit
ted BY their army in Upper Canada, it has
become inperiously my duty, conformabi,
with the nature OF the Governor Generals
application, to issue to the naval force un
der my command, an order to destroy and
Law waste such towns and districts upon the
coast, as may be found assailable.
had hoped that this contest would have
resort TO seventies which are contrry to
the usage Of civilized warfare, and as il has
been with extreme reluctance and concern
that l nave found myself compelled to
adopt this system OF devastation, shall be
equally graufcd if the conduct of the Exc.
cu,ivc Of the United State, will authorize
my staying such proceedings, by making
reparat ton to the suffering Inhabitants OF
Upper Canada thereby maniiesting that
il the destructive measures pursued by
their army were ever sanctioned, they
will no longer be permitted BY the Gov
eminent
have the honor 20 be, sir, with much
consideration your most obedient humble

uader wa:sT, in every direction, and sieersd
by means OF a compass. it had a mainsail
and jib, like common sloop. When par-
sued, the mast and sails could be taken in,
and the boat dive under water in one minute,
continue under water three hours, aud rise
TO renew the air three miles from the place
she went down the air could be renewed in
one minute, when the boat, diving, could
continue under water again for three hours.
While making his experiments on this ves-
sci, Dir. Fulton made voyage in her from
Havre to La Hogue, distance of eighteen
leagues, in the bosterous weather of the au-
tumnal equinox, and found her TO act.periect-
ly we'll in open sea. BY late Improvements
on this vessel, aud the manner of obtaining
air, i've men may continue under water for
six hours, and rise fifteen miles from the
place they went down."-Such is the pro-
gress made, by the ingenious Mr.. Fulton, in
the infant science Of submarine navigation.
The obieci, however, of this invention, was
TO fad certain mode Of fixing Torpedo TO
the bottom Of snip of war, for the purpose
of blowing her up. But after much labor
and expense, he seems to have abandoned
this plan Tor fixing his explosive machine,
having, as he thinks, discovered a method,
winch IN epuahy SoItsinJ AhhhiSSiy hoiS aiiii'
pie, and less expensive. -
Although we have the highest respect for
the opinions of Mr.. Fulton, yet we cannot
bu, deem tho submarine boat the most eligi-
bic for fixing the Torpedo to ships in certain
cases, notwithstanding the other plans that
may be employed for that purpose.
1t is by means Of the submarine boat, that
the Brush expect the Torpedo to be convey
ed under their ships. No night passes, when
a ship is at anchor, but they are constantly
sweeping with seines and ropes, insordcr TO
prevent being surprized by this insidious foe.
They pretend that some Of these boats with
their attendant Torpedocs have actually been
taken. But oil this there is no kiad of proof.
1t is unquestionably sheer falsehood. The
assertion was made to deter those who might
contemplate visiting them In this manner
from making any further attempt. But il is
hoped that enterpriziDg characters will be
found, who will persevere N this mode of at
tack, and make the invaders more cautious in
approaching our shores. Success will, at
length, crown their labors, aud ensure them
fame and pecuniary reward.
A boat may be SO constructed as to ca
silly obviate the danger ef being caught by
ssines and re,iculated ropes. Scythes or
some sharp instruments would Immediately
sever any ropes or nots with which it might
be en,anged Perhaps number Of small Tor
pedoes attached 10 the upper part of the boat,
would be OF singular advantage. These, by
being exploded, would clear il Of any SUR
materials, and destroy any barge
thar should happen TO be above. There is
little doubt however, but that Yankee inge-
nuity will give the British much trouble and .
annoyance.

sentimental .l'secdote Mr. Fahun has lately wit.
messed an incident which partakes of the romantic.
In opening communication between two mnes, the
corpse OF a miner was found, completely preserved.
and in state of softness, being impregnaied with
the vitriolic water Of the mine. When exposed to
the open air it became stiff. The features not
recognized by any person present but tradition had
prolonged the recollection of the accident by which
he had been involved in the bowels of the earth
more than half century ago. All further inquiry
was dropped, when suddenly, decripid old woman,
leaning on her crntches, advanced and discovered
that the party was young man to whom she had
beer engaged by promise OF marriage fifty years be-
fore She threw herself on the body Of her former
lover, and bsdewed it with many tears, fAntng with
joy to have again beheld the o5ect Of her affection
before she descended to the tomb The contrast be-
these parties, one Of them buried during fifty
years. yet preserving all the features Of youth; the
other bending beneath the load Of years, and living
# she could be said TO live, during equal space
of time above ground, may be more easily conceiv-
