THE TWO SHIPS.
Mr. Hia7s--In your paper few lays
since, you state that two 74's were building
at Scckeft's liar6o.., when information os the
peace reached there. / am, however, eua-
5,ed to state, that the two vessels OF the
stocks at that place, we're intended to carry
one htndred gins each 500 ship carpe.
ters were at work on them, and in IS days
both would have been in the water. The
materials for their equipment being on the
spot, there is TO doubt Commodore Chaur-
cey woult have taken the lake On the open
ing of the navigation, with force which
the utmost eXertions OF the enemy could
not have eoualled. The two ships remain
IN the state they were when Peace arrived,
houses, having, however, been built over
them, to preserve them from the weather.

SIR,
The commanding general having seen
a publication which issued from your press
to-day, stating that flag GO had lust arrived
from Admiral Cochrane to General Jackson
officially announcing the conclusion of peace
at Ghent, between the United States and
Great-Britain, and vrtuatiy requesting a
snsfension efarms," requires that you will
hasten to remove any improper impression
which so Dnauthorised and incC.rec. a state
Dlent may have made.
No request, either direct or virtual ma.
been made TO him by the commander of either
the land or naval forces OF Great-Britain for
suspension of arms.
Inc letter OF " Bathurst 10 the Lord May
or, which furnishes the only otficia, infor-
NATION that has been communicated, viii not
allow the suggestion that a suspension Of hos
tiiities is meant or expected, until the treaty
signed by the respective Commissioners,
shall have received the ratification of the
Prince Regent and of the Preside. It of the u.
States.
a copy Of that letter had been, some days
before. brouglitby Mr.. Livingston from the
English fleet and published in this city.
The commanding geseral again calls upon
his fellow citizens ana soldiers to recolect
that it is yet uncertain whether the articles
which have been signed at Client, for the re-
establishment Of peace, will be approved By
| those, whose appreciation is necessary to give
efficacy to them. Until that appreciation is
| given and properly am unced. he would be
| wanting to the important interests which
| have been confided 20 his protection if he per-
mitted any relaxation in the army under his
command.
How disgracefuj, as well as disastrous
| would it be, ifby surrendering ourselves cred
| uiousy and weakly 10 newspaper publica-
! tons often proceeding from ignorance, but
more frequently from dishonest designs; we
! permitted an enemy whom we have SO late

| The general order issued on the 18th in
slant, expresses the feelings, the views and
the hopes which the commanding general
| still entertains.

cation of the nature of that herein alluded 10,
and censurcd, will appear in any paper of
