Doctnments.-We conclude in this day
paper the last series of dispatches receiv-
ed from our Ministers at Ghent.-Ne A
merican can read them without the strong
est sentiments of pleasure and of PRIDE.
Though the British Commissioners never
took upon themselves to answer AN official
Note without transmitting it to the Cabinet of
St James's; though they were invariably
prompted and assisted by the ablest council
lors az tome yet the o6iify with which
the American Commissioners defended the
Cause OF their country is AS pre-emincnt
as the justice Of that cause is Distinguished
Iheir style is SO pure, their statements so
condensed, their arguments so clear, that
their letters, when spread before the eyes of
Europe, viii! not fail to procure new friends
OF our cause, new admirers Of our literary
compositions.

/ ne information given you on the 22nd
ultimo, respecting General M'Arthur's in
tended expedition to Saguina, has turned out
to be incorrect, 1t appears that the general,
on reaching the river St. Clair crossed into
canada and proceeded to Malcolm's Mills, on
Grand River, ten miles from the crossing
and about twenty-five from Burlington Heights
---He arrived there on the afternoon of the
9th instant i; and discovered the enemy, con-
slsting or about $50 militia and Indians, under
the command of colonel Bostick, covered by
d small breast work. An engagement i'm
meolateiy commenced, which lasted but few
minutes, our troops driving them in every di-
rection The enemy's loss was one CAPTAIN
and 19 privates killed, and wounded; three
captains, hve subalterns. nine sargeants and
ioS prlvdtes taken prisoners; the whole IF
winch We're suffered to return 10 their res
Pective homes on parole. Our loss was one
killed and four wounded. London's, NAL
colm's * Kings mills, on Grand river, were
reduced TO ashes which circumstance will
stralghten tie enemy so much in the article
OF Hour, as 10 render an expedition to this
place, by him, during the approaching winter
very doubtful.
General M'Arthur returned here on the
10th instant and the mounted men under his
command will leave this in few DAYS for
their homes.
ltrom other scurces we learn that Gene
raj NJ Arthur himself suffered it to be given
out that his expedition was designed for Sa-
guina, and even went so far as to order some
Common up the lake. His design was to blind
