But on a jult ’cltimate ill the campaign, in which the ‘lnals of thorn has been incurred, the colt will not be found dilpro portionate to the advantages, which have been gained. The campaign has indeed, iri its latter itages in one ij .attd", been Id's favorable that; wqf expected, but in addition to the importance of our naval fuc cds, the nfbgrels of'tht campaign has hem fufee with i clients high ly hutouiabfc to tl.e American arms *. • I’lie attacks of the enemy on (Ye cy JHand, on Fort Meigs, on Sr !;•. u't i i arbor, and on Sandusky 1 v- horn \i ; , •:* ally and fuccefsful nor have they in any \ K iurcecded on either frontier, excepting when directed againit the p aceable dwellings of individ uals, or villa*:c-s unnre’ured or un defended. * > n the other hand the move nt- nts oi the American army have bent followed by the reduction of York, and of l’erts George, Erie and Maiden; by the recovery of Detroit and the extinction of the Indian war in the Wdl; and by the occupancy or command of a Ir.rgt portion ol Upper Canada.— Basics have also been fought on the borders of the St. Lawrence, which, though not accoinplifhing •heir entire objects, reflect honor . the dilcipline and prowess of ‘fiery, the best auguries of c - viftorv. In the fame l'cale 10 be placed the late iucceffes i ihc South, over one of the tnoft powciful, and which had become one of the rnoft hcltilc also, of the Indian tribes. It would be improper to close this communication without expref fmg a thankiulnefs, in which all ought to unite, for the numerous belliings with which our beloved country continues to be favored; for the abundance which over spreads our land, and the prevailing health of its inhabitants; for the prdorvaticn of our internal tran tjulitv, and the (lability of our free iriftitut’ons; and above all for the light of divine truth, and the pro •iCtiOi. of every man’s confciencc it; *r,c enjoyment of it. And al though among our blcffmgs we cannot number an exemption from the evils of war, yet these will nev er be regarded as the greatest evils, by the friends of liberty, and of the rights of nations. Our country has before preferred them to the de grading condition which was the alternative, when the sword was drawn in the cause w hich gave birth to our national independence; and none who contemplate the magni tude, and feci the value of that glorious event, will fhiink from a Aruggle to maintain the high and happy ground cn which it placed the American people. With all good citizens, the jus tice and neccflity of refilling wrongs and usurpations no longer to be borne, will fufliciently out weigh the privations and facrifices, •nfeperable from a Rate of war.—- But it is a reflection, moreover, pe culiarly colliding, that whilff wars are generally aggravated by their baneful eflecls on tl#e internal im provements and permanent profper itof thr na? ns engaged in than such is the favored fit nation o. n.c Ijnited States, that the calamities of thecontcfl into which they have been compelled to enter, are miti, gated by improvements and advan taged of which the coniclt irfclf is the source. If the war has intreafed the in terruption of our commerce, it has at the fame timecherUheJ and mul tiplied our manufactures, so as to make us independent of all other countries for the mofl eflential branches, for which we ought to be dependent on none; and which i will create additional staples in our ; future intercourse with foreign mar ! kits. It much treasure has been ex pended, no inconsiderable portion { * of it has been applied to objects curable in their value, and ncccila-’ , ry to our permanent fafety. If the war has exposed us to in ; crcafcd ipoliatiorts on the ocean, and to predatory incursions on tlic land, i: has developed the national means of retaliating the former, & ol pioviding protection againff the latter; demonflrating to all, that every blow aimed at our maritime independence is an impulse acceler ating the grow th of our maritime power By diiTufmg through the nufs of the nation the elements of mili tary dilcipline ar.d inftructiun, by augmenting and diffributiug war like preparations, applicable to fu ture ule, by evincing the zeal and valor with which they will be em ployed, and tlie’cheerfuinefs with which every necessary burden will be borne; a greater icfpecl tor our rights and a longer duration of our future peace are proiniled, than could be exptdcd without these proofs oi the national character and refourccs The war has proved, moreover, that our free government, like other free governments, though flow in its early movements, acquires in its progress a force proportioned to its freedom; and that the union of these flutes, the guardian of the free dom and lalety of all and of each, is lengthened by every cccafion that puts it to the tell. In tine, the war, with all its vicif fltudes is illustrating the capacity and the of the United States to be- a great, a flourifhing, and a powerful nation; worthy of the friendfhip which it is disposed to cultivate with all others; and au thorilcd, by its own example, to require from all an observance of the laws of juflice and reciprocity. Beyond thele their claims have nev er extended ; and, in contending for these, we behold a subject for our congratulations, in the daily testimonies of encreafing harmony throughout the nation, and may humbly repose our trufl in the Imiles of Heaven on so righteous a cause.

The day had but just doled when the gale commenced, rht- e ve ning was extremely dark, the tide was flowing, and the rain at inter vals fell in heavv {bowers.

Frequently were guns fired of diftreis, and blue lights thrown out by Jurh of hi; majesty’s fliips, as were fuffeiing in-the gale. ‘lbis circuml Lance, the tiarki.efs of the night, and the piercing crie3 of per sons fearful of drowning, which were often heard in situations where alone the hand oi the Al mighty could afford them relief, in etcafed the gloomy horrors of the feene. It was not until the next morn ing the dft’eds of the gale were w ho ly to be seen. On the fide of the harbor lome wffds lay luuk, others appeared much iii : j:od, and the op jxifite fltore from the eaflem hat:e ry to the mouth of rhe Narrows, appeared covered with wrecks.
