AMERICAN BRAVERY.

We hear again and again of the bravery OF
HULL, DECATUR, and BAINBRipeE, and we
have celebrated in every possible form the de-
strNction OF the Guerrier, Jata and Peacock,
and the capture of the Boxer, Ehervier, and
the glorious deeds on Lake Erie |; but scarcely
word is said ofthe galIantry Of our land forc-
es do what they will Tiheranoe and Bro7vns-
iosun are suifered to pass away in great meas
ure, in silence and this will be the. case with
The heroes Of OswEoo, unless justice and graf
nude assume the pen.
We have no hesitation in declaring that
the defence Of Oswego, by less than shree hun
6red men, against land and naval force Of
Of three tbousand, is incomparaby superior;to
any thing the British ever performed on the
the continent Of America. Tire conduct Of
the British eyince their sense of iii; they have
done every thing in their power to conceal
the knowledgc Of their drubbing from their
own people, by displaying the color taken
from fort of six old guns, half Of which
were usele ss,and defended with less men than
the crew Of one OF the vessels Of their squad
ron. This color they displayed a, the gov
ernncnt house at Montreal under a discharge
Of cannon, for their great victory.
The defence Of Osvego is undoubtedly one
the present day and ought to be celebrated
as much as any Of our actions by sea. The
officer who com manded, (Lieut Col. MiTcH-
ELY has earned a never-fadirg laurel, and
rendered that post famous by his gallan,ry.
Several officers whom he praises, went from
Massachusetts and it would be almost
criminal act of injustice to suffer their hero
ism to pass off in silence like the battle Of
Brownstown. Were the case reversed, tho
ships American, and the defence British,
Europe and America wovld echo the exploi, )
MITCHELL would be made Lord OF, and
all his officers knghted and barone,ed-His-
tory will place the battle Of Brezvnstesen and
the defence Of the post of Os7ego, with ia
apology for fort, among the most brilliant
affairs ever achieved BY our countrymen.
We highley applaud the toa:s given at PER-
Rr's dinner" THE ARMY; WHO ONLY
WANT OPPORTUNITY TO EQUAL The GLORY

THE EXPERIMENT.

Mr. David Brown exhibited yesterday af-
ternoon, to a congregation asse mbIed on fede-
raj Hill, his new invented mode of setting
FIRE to ship of war. A masS was erected
in the centre of circle, about go feet In
height, on which az barrels Were arranged,
TIVE abreast, at equal distanccA from each
other the whole length of hebeaap. The COM
bustible substance was then discharged from
en- ordinary fire engine, a, the diitance at 60
feet from the mast. A lighted \malch was
applied when the combustble dpater was
thrown from the spout, and Tremendous
sheet of liquid FIRE wrspt in clouds(of pi,ehy,
smoke issued from the orihce. The barrels
were all consumed, and the sudden Snvolu,ion
Of light and darkness added much TO the
grandeur and magni6cence Of the sIheetacle
We will endeavvur 10 give general outline
Of the boat in which this new crhgine Of
destruction is to operate, aud the lmanner
