We have heard nothing more that can
be relied on respecting the Is sail of
{ British vessels said TO be ascending the
Potomac. The first account is probably
correct. Where are the Two Thousand

OF has he sent the whole disposable
force of the u. States, to Canada !?
These are interesting inquiries to the

As for Mr.. Madison's sserhke denun-
ciations they are no, of nature to dis

at band, and notwithstanding the gigan-
tic eFsrts now making throughout Eu-

force to spare, to bring conviction o.
insir errors home TO the American g7-
yernment, and punish them Tor their adj
herence to a vile and unnatural 81 stem

speech will be found in our fouIth page.
