Addressed lo\ the people of the United .Slates. ' 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- ( j tad the miseries of savage barba My.

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 sanguine expectations of its future progress 1 ■ to tiie liis* mercantile consequence. I, 4- ( But as might be expected, there is much £ l * in what the Pacha has done, and is stilt do , ■ ing, that requires amendment. In his ea- f s g- rness to secure to himself the advantages ( 1 of trade, he has entered into it as 11 mdet , 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 ( lai ge d.nnes ic ni.inufactories, are unwise, | these, however, as his experience increases, i we may expect to be abandoned, and the j " capital and labour he commands, directed Vto more profitable employment, ilisterri- i ■< tory possesses as source of wealth natural , peculiarities superior to those of any other. | 1 Ihe soil, enriched and invigorated by the ( * annual overflowings of Nile.— W lii.Ui btoodi, u'er Kgj i-l wilb its wat'ry winp," 1 is capable witlmut any estimation of bear- j '• ing an endless succession of products, the ' * most important to the wants ot mankind ; . '' while the climate and seasons pass throughi. y all tueir changes with constant regularity, !S free from those vicissitudes and variations > ! winch elsewhere expose the cultivated pro ductmns of the earth to injury and destine J 41 turn. To avail himself to the fullest extent 1 'V’l the advantages which nature thus presents 11 to him, is so cleaily the policy which the! l ('I Pacha should pursue, that acting under the ' M influence ol that keen perception of his iu ‘-.terests, and that strong desire to promote ’■.' them which is said to govern his conduct, ( we may expect every change in his measures ■'] 1 44 be in Uvor of such policy.—His recent; K ‘ proceediigs, indicate a preference to the 1,1 cultivation of the soil ; which the success! ,e that has attended his efforts is so well cal culated to confirm and strengthen, that a regularly increasing import may be expect ! 4 ' cd from that country; and we have reason li ‘ to believe that this increase will be princi ! *•' 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 cre is of clean cotton ; a can t(V GREBAB’" English, so that an 1 A. the Jur e8 -60 lbs. The Pacha pays the ting for Orcol the land 100 current piastres. 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- England and th vAnli Galican Coffee Hous es, are to be thrown into one splendid Cof fee Boom and to be called the Aorth and South American Hotel, 1 Ins extensive es jtablishiiient will be conducted by a coipmit-j tee ot Merchants, and by Mr. Davies, the' present proprietor of the New-Englaml Cos-! fee House, t his establishment, it is be-[ | iieved, will vie with, if not excel, any sim ilar one in the world. From the knowledge [we have ot Mr. Davies we have no doubt he i will give general satisfaction to those who may visit tiie new establishment. Com. .

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 i under the same flag, sustained each other in ' the hour of danger—when these meet, and one fulls by the hands of the other, what are our feelings then ?— Nat.

' United Slates Ship North Carolina, ) off Cape Henry, mth Jan. 1825. $ , 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. JOHN RODGERS. Comd’gU.
