Why IS Zasiport taken ?

Every one is asking the question, wha,
can be the object of the British invading
the District OF Maine and taking possession
OF Passport! Ibis question may be an
swered IN the Yankee mode, by asking a.
notner: why has Mr. Madison's army in.
saded Upper Canada and taken possessie n
Of E'ie and Qnecnstoa 10 rstaliate for
the invasion of their territory is one, but not
the only reason. Itis well known to be the
determination OF the English Government
70 impose rigorous blockade upon the
whole American coast. The consequence
Is, total extinction Of the revenue. Blu,
the situation OF Eastport is such, that i, was
very difficult, if no, impossible to prevent
(for night was sufficient to make yoyage)
small craft, under neutral colours, in,rodu.
cling any quantity OF goods they pleased.
10 put stop at once to this evasion of the
blockade, which was nightly, il not daily,
going on a, this place, is one motive, If not
the principal one, with the British Naval
Commander in taxing possession. II is moi
qaite SO polite TO be sure, in ,he British
Ministry, after our Administr alton have re.
llnquished their restrictive energies" to
say, in the very teeth of MIR. Madison's
Proclamation, they shall not be- abandoned d.
We presume, however, The democrats will
eel much Obliged to Com Hardy for taking
possession Of Eastport-,hey have long
considered the place as a commercial sod.

most triumphan,ly set at defiance all their
iasourite nonIimportation and embargo reg.
ulations for the protection OF stree trade q

Eastport is an Island (called Moose Isl
and,) miles long and mile broad con
tanning about 1000 inhabitants, is situated
on the western side of Passamaquoddy bay,
and is the most remote town on the eastern
territory ofthe United States, opposite the
province Of New Brunswick. The princi-
pal ship channel is between Moose Island
and Indian Island (the latter is in The Brit
ish territorry) abou, half mile wide. The
water ON the western side is not sufficient
for the passage of large vessels at low tide
The communication is by ierrying over
to Lubec, which is on the main, distance a
Cross, mile.
The distance from this town 10 Eastport
is 279 miles.
