We parted at sSckets Hsr5or, told him dls inc,y,

OF Gen. Brown, tina, he expected he eo-operson OF

to provide an apology for .he publcs any con
hngent disaster TO which his army might ts exposed
But, sir, If any one will take The trouble to examine
the topography of the peninsula, (the scene OF the
Generals operatons) he will discover that this het
could be Of no more service to Gen. Brown. or his
army, than it could be to an army in Tennessee
Gen Brown has never been sble to penetrate nearer
to Lake Ontario than Queenstown, and the enemy IS
in possession Of all the intermediate country 80 that
j could not even communicate with the .rmy, bat 10y
circuous route of 10 OF 80 miles. Admitting Gen.
Brown could have invested Fort George, the only
service he could have derived from tie hcet, would
be our preventing the supplies Of the enemy from
entering ;he Niagara river; for the shall
low thar the large vessels could approach within
two miles of their works Gen. Brown had there
fore two abuudanty sufficient reasons for not expect
ing the cooperation OF this feet; was no, promis-
Ell 10 him--and was CHI mercai IA itself.
