TO THE EDITOR* THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN*
Gentlemen:
In looking over your paper of the 5th
instant, I discovered a piece headed Rat
tle of kew-Orleant; and, having partici
pated in that battle, curiosity led me to
peruse it.—As it appeared to be from the
pen of a British officer, I was somewhat
astonished to find him silent on the bat
tles of the 23d &. 28th December, 1014,
and 1st January, 1815, and speak only of
the battle of the 8th January : hut it is
probable as the three former ones arc
not so generally known as the latter, and
the British having been defeated in eve
ry engagement, this writer thought it
best to say nothing about them. But,
taking it altogether, it is probably as cor-
xect a narrative as we might expect from
such an author. Yet there are several
errors or misrepresentations, two only of
which with your indulgence I shall no
tice—the first, as it respects the storm
ing of the three gun battery (as he calls
it) on the right of our line. He says,
“On the left, a detachment of the 15th,
21st and 4th, stormed a three gun batte
ry and took it. Here they remained
for some time in expectation of support
—none arriving, and a strong column of
the enemy forming for its recovery, they
determined to anticipate the attack, and
pushed on. The battery which they
bad taken was in advance of the body of
works, being cut off from it by a ditch,
across which, only a single plank was
thrown. Along this plank did these
brave men attempt to pass—but being
opposed by overpowering numbers, they
were repulsed—and the Americans in
turn, forcing their way into the battery,
at length succeeded iu recapturing it
with immense slaughter.“ The most of
the above statement is incorrect. The
threegun battery that he speaks of was a
small unfinished bastion, erected on the
right of tho line, near the water’s edge,
having in it two small field pieces, for
the Express purpose of raking the ditch,
ehojf.d the enemy attack us in line. Thi
bastion was .attacked just about day light,
by four or five hundred men, and hav
ing hut one company of the 7th infantry
in it. there was but little difficulty in
getting possession of it, in consequence
of its unfinished state, and the policy a-
dopted by the enemy in not firing a sin
gle qun as they advanced, hut pushing
on rapidly to the charge. Being over
powered, the company was compelled to
retreat across the breast work, but not
until they had extinguished the last
match, and but one of the enemy attempt
ed to cross the breast work, instead of
many brave men, viz. col. Ranie ; and
while in the act of raising it. and calling
to the Yankees to surrender, he was shot
through the head by a private belonging
fo the 7th infantry. Neither was there,
(as stated by the writer) a strong column
forming to retake it, hut it was retaken
by the same company fhat had left it,
Who charged upon them ns soon as their
commanding officer could rally thorn, un
der cover of a company of voluntei
Aomen, stationed on the extreme light
of our line. In this affair the enemy
haJ thirty one killed, (l counted them
myself, having been detailed by the adj.
general for that duty,) and about as ma
ny more wounded. On our side we had
two killed and one wounded. Anion
the killed of the British were two offi
cers of distinction, besides col. Ranie,
whom we buried ourselves.
The second error 1 shall notice is his
representation of the engagement on the
left of our line, and near the edge of the
jtvnmp ; speaking of it he says, “ on the
rii r lit again, (meaning their right hut cur
left) the 21st and tilth being almost cut
to pieces, and thrown into seme confu
sion by the enemy’s fire, the 93J pushed
on and took the lead, hastening forward
cur troops soon reached the ditch, but
to scale the parapet without ladders was
impossible—some few indeed, by moun
ting upon one another's shoulders, suc
ceeded in entering the works, hut were
instantly overpowered, most of them kill
ed and the rest taken, while as many
a3 stood without were exposed to a
# weeping fire which cut them down by
whole companies. It was in vain that
the most obstinate courage was display
ed • they fell by the hands of men whom
thev absolutely did not see, for the A-
mericans without so much as lifting their
faces above the ramparts, swung their
firelocks by one arm over the wall & dis
charged them directly upon our heads.
The most of this statement is also in
correct, but as it respects the cutting them
Jivwn bv whole companies it is true—the
enemy advanced in solid column at the
dawn of day after firing the signa rocket,
_nd from the manner of their advancing
we had no doubt but it was their mien-
tion to storm the breast work. Genei a
krroll of Tennessee commanded tti.it
part of the Ufl4 where the enemy made
their attack, and ordered his men to re
serve their fire until they had advanced
to within a certain distance, when they
opened upon them such a destructive
lire of grape and canister, from a 32 and
an 10 pounder, as well us from the mus
ketry, that their column was literally cut
to pieces. Seventeen were killed in the
ditch (those 1 also counted) and not a
single man crossed the breast work and
was afiTivards killed. It is a fact that
the ditch in front of that part of th* line
where the attack was made was shallow
est of any ; it there was nothing to pre
vent them walking down one side of the
ditch and ascending the other without the
aid of fascines and scaling ladders, but
the well directed lire of our infantry and
artillery—instead of mounting upon one
another’s shoulders, as the writer states,
to cross the battery, several not hurt and
near the breast work laid down among
the wounded in order to screen them
selves, were afterwards taken in with
them, and so far from our men hiding
their faces behind the ramparts, it is no
torious, that at least every five out of
eight of the enemy that were killed by a
musket or rifle ball, was shot about the
head. If they fell by the hands of men
whom they iliJ not see, it must have
been because their agitation was so
great as to render them iucapable of see
ing ; for our men were exposed from
tl»e lower pait of the breast up. Three
times did they endeavor to storm, and
three times they were repulsed with
great loss—and it is also a fact, that this
obstinate courage spoken of by the Bri
tish writer, was a courage excited by a
strong dose of gunpowder and rum, ac
knowledged by some of the men to have
been taken by them, and also found in the
canteens of some that were killed. Li
ven their officers must have thought a
little of the same kind of stimulus neces
sary, as luere were one or tw o found to
he intoxicated when taken prisoners.—
Much more might be said on the subject,
but as 1 have already trespassed upon
your patience 1 must conclude.
AN AMERICAN OFFICER.
FROM THE KENTUCKY Urror.TER.
MR CLAY'S SPEECH AT LEXINGTON.
When Mr. Clay's health was drank,
lie addressed the company, in substance,
as follows :
lie begged the I’resident, and his o-
ther fellow-citizens there assembled, to
allow him to make his profound acknow
lodgement for the sentiment just drank
incompetent as he felt his language must
he to describe adequately the fullness
of his gratitude, or tire various emotions
by w hich he was agitated. Considering
the relation in which he had stood to
them for so many years, the many and
distinguished proofs of their confidence
and regard which he had received, and
that this relation had just terminated,
some conception might be formed of the
actual state of bis feelings. It would
have given him much satisfaction, if,
prior to the close of his public career,
some subjects in which his constituents
find, with him, manifested a deep con
cern, could have had a completely suc
cessful issue. One of them was the re
cognition of the independent govern
ments of South America. He was hap
py to be able to tell them, that the po
pular branch of the National Legislature,
tn accordance with the sentiments of the
American people, had, at the last session
of Congress, proclaimed to the w orld the
wish of this country for that recognition,
and the great interest which is felt here
for the success of the Patriot cause.—
And it might be reasonably hoped, that
the Executive branch of the government
would not much longer delay to conform
to the known sentiments of the whole
Union. Among the motives which al
ways appeared to recommend to this
country to countenance, by id! means
short of actual war, that great cause, one,
and not the least considerable, was, that
it would give additional lone, and hope,
and confidence to the friends of liberty
'iroughout the world. It was evident,
after the overthrow of Bonaparte, that
the alliance, bv which that event was un-
pecledly brought about, would push
the principle of legitimacy, a softer and
covered name for despotism, to the ut
termost extent. Accordingly, the pre
cut generation had seen, with painful
feelings. Congress after Cungres assemb
ling in Europe to decide, without cere
mony, upon the destiny and affairs of for
eign independent states. And if we, the
greatest offender of all against the prin
ciple of legitimacy, had not been brought
under their jurisdiction and subjected to
their parental care, we owed the exemp
tion to our distance from Europe, and to
the known bravery of our countrymen.
But who can say, that has observed the
giddiness and intoxication of power, how
long this exemption will continue ? It
seemed to him desirable that a sort of
counterpoise to the Holy Alliance shoulJ
he formed in the two Americas in fivur
of national independence and liberty, to
lawless attack upon the independence of
unoffending Naples, that alliance had
thrown off the mask of religion, and
peace, and hypocrisy, and fully exposed
the naked atrocity of its designs. Re
form in the government of Naples had
become necessary from the greatest
causes. The reform took place peacea
bly, without bloodshed, and with the u-
nanimous and enthusiastic concurrence
of the whole nation, prince, and people.
This is the crime of Naples ; and for this
crime three individuals, who, if they
have reached the height of human pow
er, are displaying what is too often its
attendant, the height of human presump
tion, are threatening to pour their count
less hordes into her bosom and to devas
tate the land. The Holy Alliance pro
fesses to have no objection to revolu
tions, but it denounces the severest pun
ishment against all rcvolters! If the
people, as in the case of France, make
the revolution, why the people are ja
cobins, disorganizes, the foes of order,
and the revolution must be crushed ! —
If the military aid the people in effecting
the revolution, the example of military
insubordination is most pernicious, and
such a revolution mast be put down !—
The Allies graciously allow independent
nations to meliorate their institutions and
the social condition, but these same Al
lies forbid the use of all the instruments
to effect the object! They would in
deed suffer monurchs to make the chan
ges ; that is, they would allow the mass
of abuse, and corruption, and putrefac
tion, which may have been accumulating
for ages, voluntarily to purify itself!
Mr.-Clay also wished that some further
encouragement to domestic manufactures
could have been given.
The truth wasbecoming more & more
palpable, and diffusing every day a wid
er influence, that the old system of ap
plying so large a portion of our labor to
production for foreign markets, which
have ceased to exist, would not do. We
must cease to produce a surplus which,
as things are, we can neither consume at
home nor sell abroad, and we must pro
duce at home what we cannot buy a-
broad. And, although he never had
thought that this desirable change was to
be effected by legislation alone, lie yet
believed that a judicious tariff, carefully
devised, would powerfully aid the neces
sary social process.
Owing to the extraordinary character
of the times, he had also been anxious
that the Bankrupt system should have
been adopted, broad and comprehensive
in its beneficence, at least of temporary
duration, and to extend to tiie case of e-
very man who was honestly and hope
lessly indebted beyond his ability to pay,
with modifications adapting it to the ha
bits of the various classes in society.—
With respect to that subject which no
doubt suggested the expression of the
leading sentiment of the toast, witli which
lie had just been honored, he would say,
that lie had certainly felt most intensely
the awful importance of an amicable set
tlement of tho Missouri question ; and
he had devoted himself to it with his ut
most zeal. Nor would he, under any af
fectation of humility, deny that his exer
tions may have somewhat contributed to
putting it to rest. But its adjustment
ought to be mainly ascribed to those
strong feelings of attachment to the Union
which exist in all parts of it; to the deep
coviction that without it, our country
would he exposed to the greatest cala
mities, rent into miserable petty states,
and these convulsed by perpetual feuds
and wars ; arid to those patriotic mem
bers of the Mouse of Representatives,
from the other sections of the confedera
cy, who nobly risked their personal po
pularity lor the good of the whole nation.
The question we may indulge the hope,
is happily settled, and we should hasten
to forget al! the painful and disagreeable
incidents by which the agitation of it was
attended. For those few unprincipled
men, if there were such, who sought
to erect, upon the honest prejudices of
tlie people, and upon the unhappy divi
sions of the nation, the foundation of the
structure of their flagitious ambition,
there ought to be no indulgence. But,
with respect to tho great ma<s of the
community, we should recollect that both
sides were alike sincere and honest. If
STATUE OF WASHINGTON.
We stated a few days ago that the sta
tue of Washington, executed at Rome by
Cunova, for the state of North Carolina,
was put on board the Columbus, which
ship is probably now on her passage to
the United States. Having promised to
give a-more particular notice of that su
perb piece of sculpture, we now pro
ceed to the task.
It is intended to represent the immor
tal hero in the act of writing his farewell
address ; he is seated in an ancient Ro
man chair, his right leg drawn up as in
the usual sitting posture, the left care
lessly extended along. In the rigiit
hand he holds a pen, and in the left a
scroll—at his feet a baton of a field mar
shal, and a sword, of the shape of" the
old Roman falchion, turned at the point.
He is clad in the Roman costume, the
head and neck bare, a close vest and
braccae, with girdle round the waist up
on which is displayed Medusa’s snaky
head ami other emblems of Roman taste.
The toga, or cloak, is drawn close round
the neck and descends in luxuriant folds
to the floor. The legs are bare to the
knee, and the feet covered with san
dals.
The statue is of white marble of the
finest kind. It rests upon a pedestal of
the same kind of marble, upon the sides
of which are represented in emblemat
ical figures of the richest workmanship,
the four principal events of Washing
ton’s life : his taking the command of
the American armies—capture of the
British army at York-Town—resigning
all his public trusts, and lastly, bis re
tiring to private life in the tranquil oc
cupation of a farmer.
It is said the artist has exercised bis
own taste entirely in the position and
costume of the statue. It was represent
ed to him that it was intended to be plac
ed in the Hall of the Legislature of
North Carolina, the dimensions of which
were sent to him ; and it was stated to
have been wished that the likeness
should be taken at full length, as in the
act of delivering an address. But the
proportions of the monument, with the
apartment it was to occupy a place iu,
were of primary importance to ajust ex
hibition of it, and lie found that they
could not be preserved iu any other way
than by reducing the statue to a sitting
posture. With regard to the dress, it is
said he could not hazard his reputation
by attempting any other than that which
was most familiar to him, and which is
best adapted to his taste and genius.
In the opinion of amateurs this is Cu-
nova’s happiest effort—So lie has been
heard to declare himself, and the Rope
and Cardinal Gonsalvi have expressed
the same opinion. It is related of this
accomplished artist, that he expresed the
most heart felt satisfaction at having had
an opportunity of executing a statue of
Washington, and he is said to have
wrought more upon it with his own hand
than lie was ever known to do upon any
similar work—he generally reserving to
himself in such works only the finishing
stroke, or coup ile grace. As an exam
ple of the estimation in which his statue
of Washington was held in Rome, many
English and other travellers of taste and
fortune, would have given four times the
contract price to have possessed it.
The likeness we understand was taken
from a portrait of the General in the
possession of the American Consul at
Leghorn, esteemed as an excellent re
semblance.—JVorfulk Herald, June 22.
The late Lieutenant Trip pc.—Wo un

which he boarded, i.i the affair off Tri

trophies of the NaVy Department.
Lieutenant Trippe, it will be remem
bered, jumped on board the Tripolitan,
followed by Midshipman Jonathan llen-
ly and nine ineu, after which bis gun
boat fell off, Ruling him exposed to the
attacks of tbiitv-six Tripolitans, “Tho'
at (iiat,” says the historian, “the victory
seemed doubtful, yet iu a few minutes

posing principles fraught with the most
direful ultimate consequences to us ; they
on the other hand, were impelled by an
honest zeal (misdirected as lie verily
thought) in behalf of that liberty, which
we adore, and by an aversion from that
slavery which we with them regret.—
Mutual forbearance and mutual tolera
tion should restore, as he hoped they
would, concord and harmony to our coun
try .
He would not trespass further than to
add, that feeling as he did, that if he had
acquired any public consideration, he
stood indebted for it to the repeated fa
vors which his constituents had shown
him 1 —for their long continued and un

them dangerous : The blade of bis

It is gratifying to know, that this me

and gallant spirits of our early little Na
vy, is placed where we hope it will long
be preserved.—Nut Lit.

of a question of jurisdiction. Can one cor

him to go so far as to say, that if Congress
should pass an act providing that all cases in
law and equity arising under the constitution,
laws of the United States Sfc. should be heard
auddecidcd by (he circuit or district courts,
without any qualification whatever, this very
act, (because it is a law of Congress,) would
give jurisdiction to the stipulated eourt, al

State of I'irginia—and here is a case be

Columbia, S. C. June 18,
Mr. Cline,
Sir,—I received a few days since the fol
lowing method of destroying weevil in (lour,
wheat, rice, mid other grains, either in the
barn or in barrels, of preventing or curing,
the rust in wheal or in cotton, which the wri
ter says positively is owing to smalt insects ;
and also for destroying rats in bams, grana
ries and elsewhere.
This w as sent to me as Chainnnn of the
Board of Curators of the South Carolina A-
gricultural Society, by Mr. Janies N’Lain,of
York district, South Carolina, and lie very
liberally allows me to publish it as often and
in any manner I please.
Mr. M’Lain any s, that the rust in wheat is
occasioned hy small yellow worms, to be
found mostly in the hollow of the stock be
tween the top joint and the head ; they are
so very small that they can scarcely be seen
hy the naked eye. The rust in cotton is
caused by multitudes of insects on the un
derside of the leaves.
1 am well aware that sulphur has been fre
quently recommended for the above pur
poses; hut whether it has had a full trial is
doubtful, particularly in the manner and
time of using it as directed hy Mr. M’Laiu,
viz: hy making matches of the brimstone or
sulphur, and sticking them after being light
ed, iu the field infected hy the insects be
tween day-light and sun rise, when tho air
is still and the dew on the jiluurs. This be
ing done for three sito.-’ssivu mornings will
destroy the insects, and restore the wheal
and cotton to perfect health and vigor. Now
it is very possible that the smoke of the brim
stone impregnating the dew on the plants
may have a fuller effect than if used under
other circumstances.
One pound of brimstone Is sufficient for
ten acres each morning of wheal or cotton.
To preserve wheat, rice, or other grains,
and floor in barrels, from weevils and worms,
wit the inside of the barrel and turn it down
over a burning match—let it stand about 10
minutes, take it off and put in your wheat,
rice, flour, tkc. immediately.
To preserve corn, tic. in cribs, and grana
ries from rats, weevils, tic. dig boles sullici
cully large to contain a match of the sulphur
of brimstone and let it stay about thirty mi
nutes.
IVhen wc consider the enormous ravages
and the great destruction caused to farmers,
cotton and rice planters, merchants and oth
ers, hy insects and rats, it excites surprise
that certain means of destroying them have
not yet been found out or very fully and re
peatedly tried. Should the sulphur, used
according to Mr. James McLain’s method,
prove effectual, his name deserves to he hand
ed down to posterity with the highest honor
and praise for the liberal and disinterested
manner in which lie made the comiuunica
lion. 1 aui, respectfully,

In the house of Commons on the 7th,
the M arquis of Londonderry, Caitlereagh
made u spontaneous communication, re
specting the views of Russia and Austria,
lie stated that he had received official in
formation that the Russian army would
not pass its own frontiers. He also en
tered into a further explanation ofthe
reasons which had icd to the advance of
the Russian troops, and strongly repelled
the insinuations that motives of political
ambition had any influence in the trans
action. He distinctly stated, that though
he could not make himself answerable
for the conduct of any .individual, yet,
from his knowledge of the character of
the Emperor of Russia, he believed him
to be “ too deeply impressed with a tru»
sense of his own glory, to seek for any
further aggrandisement, either on tho
side of Turkey or of Spain.”
Spain was becotr.ing more tranquil.
The King’s birth-day was celebrated
in London on the 3d of May, with great
poiup. The most splendid drawingroom
ever witnessed was held at Buckinghnm-
Palace, and in the evening a most bril
liant ball was given at Carlton house.—
The drawing room was attended hy up
wards of 2000 persons of the first rank
and fashion, who were presented to the
King. One of the London papers con
tains three pages of the names and rank
of those presented, the dresses ofthe la-

The march of the Russian troops has
been slopped by the Emperor Alexan
der ; and it is said that he intends to pre
serve a strict neutrality between Turkey
and the revolted troops, it is universal
ly believed at Paris that the Allied Pow

the Greeks to themselves.
The Glasgow Chronicle says—“ We
are happy to learn from Manchester, that
