FROM Tlir. BOSTON DAILY APVETITISF.R. FXTRACT‘5 FROM T1IK “NARRATIVE OF TI1F. CAMPAIGNS OF THE BRITISH ARMY IN AMERICA." OPERATIONS NEAR BALTIMORE. Our Inst extracts ended with t lie battle of the Rritish on the field of battle, after the death of Hen. Ituss. At an early hour on the 1 Sth, the troops were formed and pro ceeded on their march in pursuit. “ But onr march,” says he, “ was not so rapid as our motions generally were. The' Amcrieans had at I adopted an expedient, "which if carried to its proper length, might, have entirely stopped our progress. In most of the woods they had felled trees, and thrown them across the road, but as these nhattis were without defenders, we experi enced no other inconvenience than what a- rose from loss of time—being obliged to halt on such occasions, till the pioneers removed the obstacle. So great, however, was even this hinderance, that wc did not come in sight of the main army of the Americans till evening, although tile distance travelled could not have exceeded ten miles. “ It now appeared that the corps which xvc had beaten yesterday, was only a de tachment, and not a large one, from the j'irce collected fur the defence of Baltimore : and that tile account given by tiio volunteer vnrr "ir lueir In”, rod revok'd them ft r to- loss of comrades; Imt as th - case now stood, we should only fight to give us rn opportu nity of reacting the scenes of Washington. To distress an enemy is no doubt desirable, but, in the prevent instance, that distress, e- xen if brought upon the Americans, would cost ns dear; whereas, ii wc fail'd, it was hardly possible t.a avoid destruction. Eve ry hour brougH* reinforcement* to their ar my, whereas ours had no source from which even lo recruit its losses ; and it wax, there fore, deemed prudent, since we could not fight at once, to lose no time in returning to the shipping. “ About, tlirrp hours after midnight, the troops were accordingly formed upon the road, and began their retreat; leaving the picipiets todsceive the enemy and follow ax a rear guard. Marching over the field where tlie battle, of the 14th had been fought, we hclield the dead scattered about, and still uuhnricd ; but an far different from those which wc had seen atT.ladensburg,that they were not stripped, every man lying ns lie had fallen.—One object struck me ax curi ous; I saw several men hanging lifeless a- monr the brunches of tree*, and learnt that they had been rillemen, w ho choose, during the battle to fix themselves in these elevated situations for the combined purposes of se curing good aim fc avoiding danger. What ever might be their success in the first of these designs, in the last they failed ; for our men soon discovered them, and considering the tiling as unfair, refused to give them quarters, and shot them on their perches. “ Here Hie army were rallied by the sud den appearance of a squadron of horse, which had been sent out by the American General to track nur steps. They succeed ed in making t-o prisoners; hut a single shrapnel checked their advance, and sent them buck at full speed. We proceeded on our march, and the next day were within sight of the shipping.” Thu troops were all got on hoard w ithout molestation; and on the ITIh, the fleet set sail fiirthe Patuxent; and a part of the Heel, with the troops soon afleV sailed for Jamaica. On the 10!h December, the fleet had return ed off the Mississippi, for the purpose of at tacking New-Orleans. • We do not see any mention made of Fort M'lleury, otherwise than as alluded to above. Of the defence of Wasliihgton, the author says after some remirks on the operations of the British nrrtiy.' “With respect to the Americans, criti cism necessarily degenerates intp unqualified censure.

Bot few papers have been received by this arrival, and those lew almost, wholly devoid of interest. The insurrection in the Turkish provinces, is said not to be so formidable asj wax at first respesented. One account says 1 the w hole forre of the rebels under Prince Ypxilanti does not exceed 500ri men ; from the interference of the Emperor of Russia, there will soon lie an end to il altogether. Tile’e m peror A le gander has issued two pro clamations, in oneof which lie enjoins I’riuee Ypsilanti and his partizans immediately to proceed to Russia, fr, thereawait his majesty’s decision respecting their conduct, as in t.ii- lure of compliance, they w ill he considered as disturbers of tlie public peace, and not on ly exposed to the vengeance of the Ottoman government, hut will also lie held responsible to the Court of Russia. A letter from Gonna mentions, that an nc- r.ount had been reet ived there of n dreadful massacre ofthc. Greeks at Smyrna and Con stantinople. Tlie Turks, after Immharding the. tow n of Pair iss, K, burning many houses, had been reinforced from Lep.mtu and Tip- pclizza, and finally obliged the Greeks fn fly lo Zante in great numbers. Many Greek priests and other inhabitants, had been lulled, and a church demolished. An outrageous attack was made by a mob, on the house of the Austrian Charge d’Af- fairs in Lisbon, in consequence of his not hav ing put up lights to celelnate the ifPTv order of tilings established at Kin Janeiro. Every pane of glass was shattered. The intelligence from Madrid is of a por tentous character. After the assassination of the Priest Venucsa, the Populace surroun ded the king’s palace, and uttered I he most alarming cries. The military was railed nut, and tranquility restored. London, May 40. The Paris papers of Wednesday arrived yesterday. The. report of tlie flight ol Fer dinand VTl from Madrid, in consequence of outrages offered to himself and the rest of the royal family by (he populace, is contra dicted. It is asserted, however, on the au thority of a traveller arrived at Bayonne, that after the assassination of Yimsn. lln- tnob proceeded to the king’s palace, and sent forth the most horrible vociferations a .gainst his majesty, arid his brother, Don Carlos—hut the authorities, with the aid oi the troops and the militia, succeeded in re establishing o-der. The Cortes, it is said suffer much mnre than they-did for permit- .repaired in a b >dy to the palace, for the pi ling an enemy’s army to penetrate bpyond : fiction of the royal family. works, from which a cross up—and there were mounted throughout this commanding position, no Ices than one hundred pieces of cannon. “ It would be absurd to suppose that the light of preparntions so warlike did not in some degree damp the ardour of nur leaders ■—at least it would have been madness to storm such works, without pausing to con sider how it might best be attempted. The whole of the country within cannon shot "was cleared from wood, and laid out in grass and corn firids, consequently there was no cover to shelter an attacking army from any rjiart of the deadly fire which would he im mediately poured upon it. Tlie most pru dent plan, therefore, was to wait till dark— and then assisted by the frigates and bphibs, which we hoped were by this time ready to co-operate, to try the fortune of battle. “ (laving resolved thus to act, Col. Brook halted the army—and having secured against surprise by a well connected line of picquets, tlie troops were permitted to light fires, and to conk the provisions. But though tlie rain fell in torrents no shelter could be obtained, and as even their blankets were no longer at hand, (they having been .left on the’battle ground to lighten the troops) with which to form gipsy tents, this whs tlie reverse of an agreeable bivouac to the whole army. “ Darkness had now coma on, and as yet no intelligence had arrived from the shipping. To assail this position, however, without the aid of the fleet, was deemed impracticable— at least our chance of snccessX ould be great ly diminished without their co-operation. As tlie left of the American army extended to a fort, huilt upon the very brink of tlie ri ver, it was clear, that, could the ships he brought to hear upon the point, and the fort be silenced by their fire, that flank oflhe po sition would he turned. This once effected, •there would be no difficulty in pushing h co lumn within their works; and as soldiers en trenched always place more reliance upon the strength of thcirentreiudimentsthan upon their own personal exertions, the very sight of our people on a level with them, would in all probability decide the contest. At all c- vents, as this column was to advance under cover of night, it might easily push forward and crown the hill above the enemy, before any effectual opposition could be offered ; by which means they would bu enclosed he- ■ tween two fires, and lose the advantage which their present elevated situation bestowed.— All, 1 however, depended upon the ability of the fleet t<> lead their assistance, for without ■ silencing the fort, this flank could scaglely he assailed with any chance of success, there fore, the whole plan of operations must be 'changed. " Raving waited tiil it was considered im prudent to wait longer, without knowing whether he Was to be supported, Col. Brook determined, if possible, to open a communi cation with the fleet. [The writer here nar rates tire adventures of an officer, who was despatched on this hazardous undertaking loan interview with tlie admiral he learnt that no eflectua) support could be given to tlie laud forre ; for snfch was the shallowness ot Hie river, that isone except the. very slight- ert craft could make their way within six miles ot the town; and even these were stop- ped by vessels sunk in the channel, and o- hcr artificial bars, barely within a shell’s longe-t range of the fort.] "Raring brought tiis report to head nuai- rd ton Tu 01 .° f War Was mstant, y summon- r ode iWate upon what was* best to be e' i ’.'nt M thft ,U>, P of fleet, it was foul] I,, ' V ! 1;it l >lan ,,f we balao-r 1SS must ,e 5UC ^ !ts t0 counter. dllL"""" itself '- Vhilc access, bust o'ir VY:. r 7 ,,nt,a “ w wa ' t0 say the .'-d wk, U ( bl ' U , e m!

I tv allowing us to land without opposition, they were perhaps guilty of no grea\error, but as soon as wc had landed, in stead of concentrating their forces in oik plqge, they ought to have htifrassed. us with continual skirmishing ;—felled trers nn each side, and thrown them across the road ; dug deep ditches at certain intervals, hi short to have adopted the mode of warfare to v hu h their Own habits, as well as the nature of the country, invited them. “ In America every man is a shot from his boyhood, and every mnntcrvcs in the mili tia ; but to bring an army of raw militia men, however excellent' they might he as shots,, into a. field against regular troops, would end in nothing but defeat. When two lines ’op pose each other, very little depends upon tlie accuracy with which they take aim’. It is 1 then that the habit of tiding in concert, the confidence which each man feels in his com panions, and th’e rapidity and good order in which different movements ran he executed, arc alone of real service. But put these raw militia men in thick woods and send your re gular troops to drive them nut, you will im mediately lose all the advantages of discip line, and reduce your battle to so many single combats. “ Here therefore, lay their grrit error; had they left all clear, and permitted us to ad vance as far as Nottingham, then broken up the road", and covered them with trees, it would have been impossible for us to go a step beyond. As soon ns this was effected, they might have skirmished with us in front, and kept our attention alive with part of their troops, while the rest, acquainted as they doutless were, with every inch of the coun try, had got in our rear, and by a similar mode of proceeding, cut ofl’ our retreat.— Thus we should have been taken in a snare, from which ive could not extricate nursel^es, and should have been obliged, in all proba bility, to surrender at discretion. But obvious A; natural as was this plan of de fence, they chose to rr.jcct it £c determined to list ail to the fate ofa battle. And here again they were guilty ofa monstrous error, in not occupying the. town of Bladensburg with part of their forces. The most open village, if resolutely defended, will cost many men before it falls ; whereas Bladensburg being composed of substantial brick houses might have been malntained-forhours against all our efforts. In the next place, they displayed great want of military knowledge in the dis position both their infantry and artillery. There was not in the space’ of their line, a single point where an enemy would lie ex posed to a cross-fire. The troops were drawn up in straight lines, like so many re giments upon a gal a parade ; while ihe guns were used ns connecting links to a chain, be ing posh’d in the same order by ones Sitwtis at every interval. “ In maintaining themselves,tike wise, when attacked, they exhibited neither skill nor resolution. Of the personal courage of the Americans, there can lie no doubt ; they are individually taken as brave a nation ns any in the world. But they are not soldiers. It was the height of folly, therefore, to bring them into a situation where nothing except that experience, and those habits will avail ; and it is on this account that I repent what I have already said, that the rapture of Wa- h- ington was more owing to the faults of the Americans themselves than to any othei cause.” - NEWS TROM THE PACIFIC.' •New-Youk.

The chaplain of the Macedonian died at Vnlphraiso about four months since, and was buried with military honors in the Arsenal. Lieut.

By the arrival of the British sloop ot war, the. Con way, at Valparaiso, a few days before the Eagle sailed, accounts were received from the liberating army un der Gen.

It is not pretended hy the friends of Inter nal Improvements, that the constijutiongives to Congress nn express power to dig canals, and to make roads, or to appropriate the public treasure to those objects. But say they, “ Congress has power to regulate cam- mace among the states,yand to make war” —and that a road or a catari is a very neces sary and proper means of this regulation, as to carrying on this war—therefore Congress can dig a canal, or make a road, or appropri ate money to do it. That if canals he giv en up, yet in relation to roads, the cape i3 plainer—for Congress is empowered ex pressly to “ establish post roads”—that es- tablish often means to make or construct— that if il did not, yet a. good road was a ve ry necessary and proper means for the safo transportation of the mail, and as Congress . has clearly tlu- power to impose and rolhet taxes, to promote the general welfare and covw man defence, which gives power to do as they please with tlie money, therefore Con gress ran make roads, or appropriate money u> making theji*. Willi ibis, let us compare the Missouri question. The restiietinnists agree that there is no express grant of power to impose the condition in relation to slavery on a new state, applying for admission—yet that the federal constitution docs say “that new admitted into tills Union,”— ’ implies discretion in and conditions, which evident from the practice of the govern ment under the articles oljeonfederation— I hat Congress haring power to pass all “ ne- .. ccesnry and proper laws to carry their pow- • ers into effect, Si as necessary in, proper, only means highly expedient—mill as title impositi on of the proposed restriction ia highly ex pedient to prevent The. extension of an nc- • Itnowledgcd corse, ami is therefore, highly promotin' of the “general welfarethere fore, as incidental to the express power to admit, and determinable by the sound discre tion of Congress, this restriction can he im posed upon a neiv state as a condition to lie." . admission, and more undoubtedly, as Con- gre-if, has express power to make all needful rules and regulations concerning territories, which gives a general power of Legislat-cn, and, since tins year 1 SOU, has also had pm ve to prevent the carrying of slaves from oi.-i date to another, because that body has pow er to prohibit “ their migration" after that date. Tn the candid and dispassionate jticr- meat of the reader it is referred to deter mine, whether the power is not as plausibly derived in the one case as in the other. If we have given a greater or less colouring to Ihe arguments employed in each case, than they ought to have had in the compendium we have attempted of them, we arc not a- wan- nf it.(39) That Mr. King or Mr. Sargeaot should profess these opinions in ftivor of tlie pow ers of the general government in relation to allthesc measures, is not wonderful. From the principles which they have held for years* il was to he expected, that they were the ad vocates of constructive powers and unlimit ed means. But what shall we say of thoso republicans w ho rode into public confidence anj public office upon the unconstitutionali- ty of a Sedition law, and afterwards led the way in chartering a Bank? Who maintain the power to adopt an expensive system of Internal Improvements, and yet deny the constitutionality of the power to impose the restriction upon the people of the state of Missouri ? There is a strange inconsistency in their conduct, which ingenuity cannot re concile, and which should inspire public sus picion both of their talents and their candor. We have not yet done with republican Congresses upon constitutional principles.— Another ease has been determined hy one brunch of Congress, (the Houso of Rcpre- -entatives), which is the cap of the climax of implied pouters and liberal construction. It is not a case of vital consequence to the R"x^ public In itself, yet upon cpastituti.unol ciAr*.
