An article from Bufalo states that Gen.

OF .he army having only two tents to a

MIR. Madison's army, like all his other
projects, is fast wasting away. The number
of desertions exceeds every thing OF the
kind in any nation, except where they have
deserted by companies and regiments; ma
ny have been shot, and numbers are now
under sentence. Owing to the bankruptcy
Of the Treasury, recruiting is nearly at an
end What deplorable state ofthings this
is for people involved in war with pow
er!ul and exasperated nation, and by men
too, who have boosted OF being the exclusive
guardians Of REPUBLICAN, freedom and the hap
hinesS of man. The constant cry of the
men now in power, for the last fifteen years,
has been, that every one who opposed them
OF their measures Was an enemy 10 the coun-
tr,'s prosperi,y,a Tory, British parsizan and
Monarchist, and that if the Federalists had
have succeeded in re electing John Adams
President, instead Of that immaculate friend
Of tie human race, Tom. Jefferson, and the
more supereminent philanthrophist, James
Madison, this country would shortly have
been brought under King, Lords and Com
mons--gul.d into war by foreign influence
& crushed to the ground by oppressive tax
es and vexatious imposts to maintain a
standing army and host Of informers, s1aies
and minions in power. Such were the pre-.
dic,ions OF the leaders of democracy when

The articles of foreign intelligence are of an in
teresting nature. There can be no doubt that the
British are making preparations for sending pow
erfu reinforcement TO the southwark which will give
the warhawss OF the southern and western states
an OPP otuniy of fighting John Bull TO their hearts
content. Those who were filled with joy and re-
joicing at the declaration of the present war are
about to experience sorrow and mourning. New
Orleans is threatened and British force has made
its re-appearanee in the Chesapeake. What flood
of calamity has beeu brought upon this country by
the wickedness of the leaders Of democracy by
