WAR WITH GREAT BRITAIN,

during the
WAR WITH GREAT BRITAIN,
In tie years 1Sl2-l5, interspersed with fev,
Letters OF the British Officers, and some valu-
able Official Documents calculating the His
tory of that period.
UNHE work will commence with the presi.
Il dents message to congress, June ], 1912, the
report of the committee OF foreign relations, and
| the presidents proclamation announcing the de.
claraton of war Then will follow, in success
sion, the letters of officers, from the COM
mencement 10 the termination of the war and
conclude with the treaty of peace of December
"a, 1914.
In gathering and collating those letters for
publication, the editors motive is, to preserve
them 10 the rising and future generations He
has frequently regretted, with his cotempora-
ries, the impractcability OF obtaining access TO
the letters of our officers of our revolution, and
few men now living, il is presumed, have had the
pleasure of perusipg them all The proposed
publication will preserve, from similar fate,
the official letters of our officers during the late
war, and will furnish an opportunity Ia the
young men OF America, now advanced and adj
vancing to manhood, Of perusing them; they will
there see their fathers their brothers, their rela-
tons, and their friends, in their true cclorS
The names of those valuable meE who have
shed their blood in the general defence, in what.
soever station, ought to be Inscribed on the roll
OF fame, held up to general imitation, and hand
fu uo"n 10 postellty Tor their admiration. The
highest honours are due to those whose bravery
repealed the savage and the civilized foe, both
by sea and land whose undaunted valouf and
| heroism was never excelled in the prordest DAYS
of the ancient republics. To the junior officers
| OF the army and navy, this book will prove an
excellent manuel and model ior imitation
Its presumed the head of each family in the
country will be gratifed in possessing a copy of
this work, not merely book of reference,
but source of pleasure for recitation to their
children at their fire sides.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

OF the negotiations between the DIvan
and the Ambassadors of England and Aus
tria, up to the period when the perempto-
ry rejection of the Russian ultimatum was
communicated TO the latter
cas- affairs at Constantinople have ta-
ken a decisive turn. it may be interesting
to make knnwn the course OF negotiations,
from the first declaration OF The Reis Ell
fendi in answer to the Russian ultimatum,
to its final rejection
"Dec.2.--The Refs EGendi made an
official communication to the Austrian and
British Ministers, announcing that the
Porte could not in any case accept the
Russian uItimatum in lis tu!i extent, and
proposing sundry important notifications
10 several articles of The document. The
Count de Lutzow and Lord Strangford i'm
meoiately despatched ~couriers to their
courts for farther instructions; and all nego
citation was interrupted until towards the
end of January.
Jan 24.-Tbe two Ministers address
ed to the Refs Efiendi two notes, nearly
similar in tenor. 1t was stated in them,
that for The maintenance ofpeace. it was OF
the utmost Importance, that the Pore
| should accept, at least,all the propositions
! founded on ancient Treaties with Russia,
ant definitely ratified by the latter; that in
the actual state of things, it was easy TO
forsee that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg,
would on it side, reject the notifications
| proposed by the Divan. These two notes
remained without reply. The Dragomans
| vainly repaired almost every day to the
Turkish Cbancellerie; they were constant
| ly put off with some evasive e%xpedienis'
"Feb. 1O.-The ministers solicited an
immediate and personal interview with
the Refs Efendi, who informed them,
through the medium OF his Dragoman, that
he had already had the intention OF shortly
inviting. and each separately, TO the desi-
red conference. Advices were at this
t;,nc expected in Constantinople relative.
~ 70 the fate Of Ali Pacha of Janina; and
IN. Grand Vizier had given orders to the
Refs Efendi to elude all the demands of
tbe Foreign Ministers, until the looked for
intelligence should have arrived.
FEB. l4.-An Agent accompanied by
several Tartars- brought an official des
patch from Chourschid Pacha, announcing
the death of Ali Pacha. The Dragumans
were witnesses Of the excessive JOY that
this intelligence excited in Turkish Chan,
cellerie, and amongst the Dignitaries Of
the Empire. On the samejday the Aus.
TRAN I%nternunclo obtained the solicited au
dience with the Refs Efendi; bat the In
terview was short, aud without result; the

IMPORTANT.
W. state it as a fact highly Interests
! ing to St. Louis, and the citizens of the
state generally, that the rich Leaf
Hines, on the Upper Mississippi, be-
longing TO the United States, are about
to be leased to individuals, and that
there is a prospect hereafter that those
mines will be worked on an extensive
and profitable scale. Col. James John.
son, accompanied by capt. Bordine, of
the army, arrived here a few days since
from Kentucky, on his wayto the river
La Feivre, which empties into the Mis-
sissippi about rs miles below Prairie
du Chen. COLI has obtained a lease
for ten years, of a proportion of the
mines on this river, the mineral of
which is said to surpass, in quantity
and quality, that of any other known
on the continent. We are told by per-
sons who have been engaged there, that
the Indians (who own most OF the
mines in that country,) can throw up
more mineral, merely with the use of
hoe, or sometimes the bayonet ola mus
ket, fixed on the end of a stick, than
large companies have done in other
places, after excavating for months with
all the implements of art, As an evil
dence of this fact. one individual. In
the last season, has smelted Z or 100000
POUNDS OF the ullueTai WhiCH Oo'"'h~
ed after a short intercourse with the In
dians; and it is thought not to be trans
cending the bounds of probability. TO
say, that three million pounds at lead
will come down the Mississippi, annu-
ally. to ST. Louis, after the works are
properly put in operation. Some ap-
| preh tensions are entertained from the
jealousy and hostility with which the
Indians view the encroachments of the
whites in the neighborhocd of their
mines-and The government has gone
so far as to order a small detachment to
be placed in the vicinity of Col. john
sons contemplated works, fora defence
of the establishment--but this precau-
ton i%sthought to be almost unnecessa
ry. as the Indians have no settled claims
among themselves, there being several
mines on La Feivre as we'll as on other
rivers, which are claimed by four or
five different nations. Enquirer.
