1t seems that authentic information has
been received 1T Erie, and at other p3ip s.
that the enemy are buildings snips of war
at MatChidash, as we'll at boat. on the mar
GIN or Lake oimcoc, aGcicntly called Lake
AK Claies.
The policy of preserving all influence
with the saVaSes Of the north west and the
nd ense importance OF the Fur TRADE. will
induce the BRITISH government and the n.
w. company, to make great sacritices-to
STRAIN every nerve to maintain an ascen
dancy Oh the Lakes Huron aud hiicnisau.
Inc enemy know how TO appre clate the
immense value Of Canada to the crown of
Great Baitain, better than many Of our mar
row minded politicians, who know no more
or tnat extensive region than they do of the
moon, although travellers have IninuteIy DE-
scrbed every part of Upper and Lower
Canada. Matchidash, or as the Indians
pronounce it Nafc2itGshk. which the enemy
have chnsen AS tAe site Of = naval mort On

same name at the mouth of the river
which rdus out Of Lake Simcoe into Lake

The practicability of building ships of war
at this PiHce, and OF getting or iron, cordaee

to point our cannon besides the ever me
morable le,h of Sept. is still fresh IN the -
collection of the enemy.
In Case OF cmcrsent necessity, it will be
easy for captain Elliot to get the five large
vessels Lawrence, Niagara, Detroit, OueIn
Charlotte and Ladl Provost, over the bar
generally OF six feet water, near the mouth
of the river St. Clair. These vessels draw
from nine to ten feet water con,equeutlyi il
would be necessary to take out their guns,
but this operation, thougni it would delav
a week, would by no means be insugerabIe

All tnings considered, I see nothing to pre-
vent the American flags waving triumphant

Inc enemy have military road leading
fron York to Lake Simcoe and from thence,
to Niatchidash or Gloucester bay on Lake

OF York and is called Young street-it IS
nearly 400 miles shorter than the circuitous
route, by the Straights Vt Niagara, Lake e.

intercourse between York and the north

With the chancellor Count RomansoS,
It hi. request, when he informed me
that he had received answers from Mr.

Harri, IA. the bearer. That the Pre-
siden, had accepted the Emperor's oHee
of mediation, and that Mr.. Dashkof mad
sent bin copy of your answer to hlf''
expressive of,hat acceptance. he then
put into my hands your letter to Mr.
Dasehkoff Of March IL, with the tenor
Of which he appeared to be much gra-
tilted and which he said he should im-
mediately transmit to the Emperor. At
the same time English newspapers had
been received here, mentioning the ap-
pointAent of Messrs Gallatin and Boy
ard, but iutin,a,iDg strongly the deter
mina.ion of the British government to
reiec, the mediation. A few days after,
I received from friend tbs National
Intelligencer of 18th April, containing
All editorial paragraphs concerning tho
appointment Of those gentlemen, which
| communicated to the count on the 22d.
! observed TO him, that however the brl.
t,sh governments might think proper to
act on this occasion, that OF the U s.
wosld at least have manifested, in a sig
nal manner, at once It's earnest and csa-
slant desire for Just and honorable
peace, and les sense of the motives which
had induced the Enperor's offer. That
the President could sot have adopted
measure better adapted to do honor to
his Majesty's proposal, than BY the sp-
puintment Of two persons among the
most distinguished Of our citizens, to
cooperate on the part Of the y States,
ia accomplishing the E;nperof's fri'nd-
ly and benevolent purpose; and that It
it should eventual, fail Of being success-
ful, at least the true and only source of
it. failure wouid DO known. That he
had received, since he sew me last, dis
patches from Count Lieven. That the
British minister, in terms Of much po.
likeness, had in,imated to him, that there
was 10 soycreignwhose mediation they
should moro readily acocp, than tina: OF
lhe Emperor, bat that their differences
with the U. States were of a nature ia
ceir''tg iar:acthtes Of the Internal govern
men. # the 8ritish nation, and which It
vas thought were not susceptible OF be-
INK comni,.ed TO the discussion OF any
mediation. The count added, that il
would remain to be considered, whether
after ;hs and after the solemn step taken
by the government Of tho u, States. it
would bc advisable to renew the offer to
the British ministry, and give them AN
opportunity for a reconsideration. 1t
was possible that further reflection Hight
lead to different resolution, and he
ssould submi: the question to the en-
pcror'r determination. d fferent cir.
