' Ny. VIII. !
The next object of mv command, as,
stated t»y the President, w is, “ l’o out tin!
tiie com mud of the lake on which tlial
part of Canada borders.”
By this description tne President must'
have meant lake Kile. There are two im
purtant facts so well known, that it is un
necessary to produce any evidence to prove
them. One. is, that in die year 1812, when!
war was declared, Great Britain had four)
«r five vessels of war on this lake, some of;
them carrying twenty cannon, besides aj
number of gun-boats, all completely armed!
and manned. The other is, that the, United
Slates had not a single armed vessel, not
eveo a gun-boat or canoe, it was not eveo
intimated to me, in any instruction that I
received from the government, that this was
one of the objects of my commanih The
first k imvledge 1 ever had ot it, was con
tained in tins message to Congress,
I cannot to the present moment conceive,
notwithstanding the high authority, and the
solemn m inner in Widen it was communi
cated, on what grounds such an exp eta
tion was founded. It certainly must have
been imoossible to have obtained the com
mand of the lake, without in some wav d -
Stroying the British naval force, which was
established on it. In what possible way
could the Ohio militia huoe ejferted ihia ob
ject ?
Before I left Washington, it will be seen
how repeatedly and earnestly I
ed the necessity of constructing a navy on
this lake, superior to that of tne ene my, in
the event of war. If that object should be
abandoned, and the government -should not
think proper to listen to this advice, | then
--bo" I —'* "'-*v most expedient mea
sure, immediately on the declaration <»f war,
to invade Upper Canada, with a powerful
army, hy crossing the Niagara river, with
which the troops I commanded might co
operate, and by this means lake possession
of (lie whole province.
Thus being in the possession of all the
harbours on the lake, the navy would hu ob
liged to surrender for the want of necessa
ry supplies. This measure not being adop
ted, and not even an armed boat of anv
description being provided on the lake, I
repeat the (juestimi, on what grounds could
this expectation have been formed? That
the President was serious in making this
communication, and it length was sail shed
that (lie opinion I had so olten given was
correct, clearly appears; for in the next
paragraph of the message he says, “Our
expectation of gaining the command es the
lake, by the invasion of Canada from De
troit, having been disappoint.mi, measures
were instantly taken to provide a naval
lorce superiour to that of the enemy !”
1 do think this subject is so plain, that no
farther commentaries on it are necessary ;
and that no blame can attach to me for not
fulfilling what Mr. M ulisnn, then Presi
dent, says was the expectation of the -ov
ermuent, viz., taking possession of lake S 1 )-
rie. with no other force than a few Dim:
militia, when that hike was commanded bv
a naval armament, sueli as 1 have described.
No. IX,
In addition to all the other evidence, that
it was neither the expectation ol the gov
ernment nor my expectation, that the for
ces sent to Detroit under mv command
were sufficient for the invasion’of Canada,
1 here present the declaration of the Pre
sident, in lus message to Congress, to which
1 hive referred ; that they were seat, in Ihi
event of war, to co-operate with other form
in that quarter.
1 ns appears to be conclusive evidence
that in the event id war, the governiueni
did not consider the torces under my cuim
inaod sullicient lor this object.
The Piesident, in this message, did not de
scribe the nature of the forces nor t ic m.niuei
they were to be employed. The reason un
douutedly was, that none of any de»crip
turn were employed. From the urgency o
such provision, however, and the arrange
meats which have since been made, tor tin
construction of a navy un lake E: ie, am
lartlie orga- ization id an army it must In
evident, that he ryderred to a naval lorce m
that lake and a powerful army on the eas
tern border of Upper Canada', which he lu
ince become convinced, it was indispetisa
-)c to provide, to to operate with the arm
t Detroit, as the only means to a success
I invasion of Canada.
- Had such a navy been prepared, and such
, an army been employed in the manner I
have stated, there is no question but the
iconquest of that province would have easi
_ly been effected during that campaign,
had, indeed, cither of these measures been
, carried into effect, the results of ourinilita
ry operations would, in all probability, have
been successful and prosperous.
-i Before I left Washington, to fake com
maud -if the forces, as [ have before observed
,i a navy agent had been appointed on the lake,
“ and a distinguished naval officer had been
ordered to repair to the government, to re
■ ceive his instructions, with respect to what
j was considered an important command onj
■ the lakes. Every member of the adminis-{
, (ration appear to be impressed with the ne
cessity ul securing that communication, in
the event of war; General Dearborn, the sc
, nior officer of the army, was at Washington,!j
assisting in organizing a large army, to be
ready tor service, should a declaration of j
war become necessary. Besides the assu
rances I received Irom the administration, it ,
j resulted from onr relative situation, and the ,
I nature td things, that inthe event of war, the (
linvasioiiof Camilla would be the fust ob
(jeef. For w hat other purpose could so large
an army have been provided ? There wy.J!
jtm other British territory within our ree.cn,!*
and no other British forces in a situation that !
jwe could approach. Besides, by the con-,
(quest of Upper Canada, have had !
the controu 1 of the Indians ami perfect se- j
curity would have been given to our extea- (
sive and exposed 'rontl-trs, and have prevea- (

i tiated :
S 11 hat in April, 1812, when I iccepted the (
ol the forces destined for Detroit, |
it was understood, both by the government t
.and myself, that, n being a time of peace,l,
|t !| (‘se lorces were designed to protect tne (
| northern frontier against the depreda i ms t
ol Ihe Savages, and particularly the territo- j
ry ol Michigan, of which I was Governor; ,
and in the ev ntof war, to have co-nperat- |
ed with botli naval and land foices in the in- ,
] vasion of Upper Canada. ,

count of the operations of the army, after 1 ,
took the command ; how I was disappointed ,
in my my expectations ; and how cruelly,

t EGYPTIAN COTTON.
14 The extraordinary rapidity with which;
" Egypt li»i established a in -st important
V reign trade proves at once the greatness of j
* productive capabilities, and the energy;
h and even intelligence of the remarkable per- '
- son, by whose fiat the great sources of Its j
II fertility have been so suddenly an I eil’ec- i
lively developed. The revival of commerce ■
e in a country once the most extensively eo- i
gaged in it. but where for ages, under the i
* influence of ignorance and oppression, ii ,
- has been extinct, is an interesting feature i
y 411 ■he present aspect of society. In this i
I country, the value to our manufactures, of ,
■ the rich products which Egypt is now pour- (
tjing lor(h, lias rendered it an object of par- I
* ticular attention. Indeed, so much has been i
1 done there in a short time, as to justify very -

s g- rness to secure to himself the advantages (

says, “ Like French falconers who fly at (
0 ai, .V thing tliey see.” He is trying all tilings; t
J and some of his undertakings therefore- t
■ such for msntnce as Ins establishmsnt of (

*•' pally in cotton, for cotton in Egypt, as ini
*’ all other countries of its growth, is the most
favourite production. In Egypt too, a crop 1
of cotton may always be calculated upon
proportionate to (he extent of the planting;
for it is not here liable to the casualties to
which so much desolation is attributed in
other countries. has no frosts, no
rains, no hurricanes, and no floods but one,
which fertilises ; it is, indeed, subject to an
almost perpetual drought, which however
does not in Egypt, as in America, injure
cotton. The rapidity with which its culti
vation has extended in Egypt is an interest
ing fact to the annals of commerce. Some;
cotton for domestic uses lias, from time im
memorial, been grown there; but the quali-i
ty was of a very inferior description, quite
junfit for the Englidi market, in 1822, the
[Pacha was advised, with a view to exporta'
lion, to try to produce a betier quality, and
>eed, (or the experiment was obtained from
Mocha, were some fine cotton Was usually
grown. J
I Im produce of this seed, to distinguish
it from the ordinary growth of the country,
was denominated Mocha cotton, and bv that
name the subsequent crops are known, al
though is stated tint seed for them was
obia' iied from the Brazils. The first crop
(*W22) was a few thousand bags, 0 | which
1 3000 came t< England. The crop ot 18-3,
[amounted to 70,000 bags, of winch 35,U0U
came to England, i'hecrup of last year is
said to be equal to more tmui 200,000 bugs I
ot the fanner years, but as it will be press
packed, a hmeh larger quantity will be put
into a bag, and the number of bags will there
fore be less in proportion to the weight of
the cottnyv The produce of an E iglish a

Court HoU» to 3 1-2 d English, for a cantar
" ftl fhe cost to liiai, therefore, is 1
ralltcr less than 3d. per lb. and at this price
the value of a crop of cotton is worth to the
cultivator more than twice as much as a
crop of corn. The Pacha sells the cotton
lor about 7d per lb. Both the cultivator
and the Pacha, have therefore the motive
which a cent, per cent, profit holds out for
continuing and extending the cultivation of
tots article. The successive increase of
toe crops to the present time, shews (he fa
cility with which (his extension may be ef
fected, and as further evidence of the case,
with which it is produced, we have good au
thority for knowing, that the Pacha’s prin
cipal superintendent ol the plantations has
engaged, in any one year, '0 raise the pro
duction to a mi lion of cantars !
When this article fitst came hither, the
length and tinencs•» of the staple led to the
indulgence ol confidant expect . tion that the
quality would be suitable for line spinning.
} 1 it* general condition of (be c Iton was
however, so very bad, arising from w,.nt of
! jumper management in its culture and pick
ing, that the expense and dilli ulty of sort
ing and ( leashing it,was found a decided ob
jection to its use for any thing but common
.purposes, fhecoloui too, probably owing
[to the same cause, i. bad. When these ob
jections to it are removed it will no doubt,
be a 'alu dde cotton, and, iii our judgment,
will serve as an effectual substimte for com
mon Sea Islands. At present, however
there arc peculiarities about it which di
minish its vaiue. Tiie thread spun from
it i- fibrous and oozy, and on that account
looks coarser than it actually is, am] is also
weaker than it would be if the fibies adher
ed more closely as in other cottons. Ih
bleaching a perfect colour, Egyptian cot
ton is found to lose one pound in every ten,
which is one third more than other cottons
lose in the same process ; the difficulty also
t-f bleaching it is so great, that to make it
a good colour costs very nearly Id. per lb.
more than other cotton. The yarn m ule
from it too will not do for dying light bright
delicate colours. Our statements respect
ing the bleaching and dying, are the results
ot very accurate experiments, conducted
upon so large a scale as to entitle them to
the fullest reliance. The faults in this
cotton may perhaps be altogether removed
by a betier system in the management of j
the plants, and by separating the qualities
m the gathering and the packing. In all
these respects improvements are rapidly
taking place. The cotton is now to be di
|vided into four different qualities, and to
be press packed into bales of about three
cantars each. We have seen some of the
cotton got up in the new manner, which is
peifectly clean, of a tolerably good colour,
and which is spinning into 120’s weft, with
very little, if any, more expense to the
; spinner, than he would incur in making the
same numbers from Sea Islands.
The New England Coffee House, London,!
kept by Mr. 1) ivies, has for many years
[been the result of gentlemen from the Uni
ted Slates and Canada, but the increase of
business in that well regulated establishment
uas made it necessary to enlarge the accom
modations. fu order to do this, the Aeio-

i The following general order of Comaio

> a salutary effect. Our Navy lias suffered
i much and lost some of its brightest orna
i ments, and the country has been deprived of
, some of the best and bravest men in the ser
i vice, by a practice that may, without loss of
■ honor, be entirely dispensed with. If our
i officers fall in battle, they fall in defence of
their country; and while we mourn their
loss, we tell of their deeds of valor, and speak
;;proudly of their honorable death. But how
{is it when they fall, not in the defence of
their country—nor by the hands of an enemy
! hut in a contest where an American arm is
: raised to shed American blood—where two
- who have together braved the battle and the
1 tempest —and who have, side by. side, and

, Sir —l he dissentions and bickerings
, which have unfortunately existed in the Na
vy, and particularly among the junior offi
cers, for several years past, originating, as
it is supposed, in the predominance of hab
its which have insidiously crept into the ser
vice, by the most improper and unjusiifiable
relaxation of discipline, seem at length to re
quire particular notice.
The prevalence and frequency ,of fight
ing and quarrel I irig among some of the youn
ger officers, and the detestable practice by
them and others of fighting duels, defaming
each other, und assuming to themselves the
right of making th* s conduct of their equals
and superiors topics of conversation and in
decorous animadversion, at tavern tables, in
stage coaches, steam boats, and other public
places, have been carried to such an extent
for some time past, as to require a resort to
measures the best calculated to produce im
mediate reform, and to save the character of
the service, as well as their own, from im
pending ruin and disgrace.
I have, in consequence, to require of all
officers who arc now, or shall hereafter be,
placed under my command, to respect and
obey, themselves, and to use the utmost vig
dance and attention in enforcing in other-,
their subordinates, due respect and obedi
ence to the laws and regulations made and
provided for the government and conduct of
all officers and others belonging to the Navy
of the United States. As lam determined
from this date not to permit the slightest vi
olation of such laws and regulations, with
which I may become acquainted, to pass un
noticed.
Should disputes unfortunately happen be
tween the officers of this or any other ship of
the squadron which I have been appointed
to command, they are not on any account
to assume to themselves the right of settling
such disputes, in any other manner, than
by an appeal to the captain of the ship to
w 1 ich they belong or to myself, if necessa
ry. And I would have it further to be un
derstood, that for a violation of this order,
by any officer. I shall not fail to put the laws
in force against him to their utmost extent.
