I shall mw ask your attention to the 1 reasons which finally in-lu ed me not to 1 mike the movement ami a'tick oi the for- j trend at, M ilden, according to the arrange- * meat I had mile, but to recross the rivei j* with the principal part of toe army, on toe ' evening of ih ■ 7th of Augu* . I’hit utter 1 no in I received two letters Irom Generali* Hill, who commanded the Amcri an troop-!' oi the Niagara .8 trails, and one from lien. l ' P ii’ter, fro n 111 ick 11 >ck. By these letters ( I wis informed tint a large numb-r of * boats, filled with British troops, had pass e I over Lake A itiri», to the west part of it, ' and vere directing their course to vl ilden, ' an I likewise, that the British forces, with 1 tlu Canadian militia, and savages, on the opp (site side of the Niagara river, were moving by water, to the same point ; and wn it wis more decisive still on my opera tions, by the sa o • letters 1 was infirmed, that nothing w mid be done there to check] this* n iv.mien ts, anil that no assistance or co-op‘ration would be alluded Iron tint quarter, to the army I commanded. It is impossible tor me to express the disappoint meat which this information occasional what possible events could have taken place, which would have authorized Gen. Block to have withdrawn the troops from fort G • irge, fort, Erie, and the otner posts on the Niagara river, 1 muld not conceive ; especially, as I had grounds to believe that th- whole strength of (he Am uican forces! were posted on the opposite hank—ami as| the Secretary of war had informed Gen. Dearborn of my situation, and had order-) ed him to make diversions in the enemy’s country, at those very stations, from which [ was informed they were withdrawn, anil were bearing on me. The real and true causes which enabled the ene oy to with draw lnstorces from those stations on the Niagara river, and concentrate them, and lus other troops, agtinst I lie arnn I com manded, were then unknown to me. I’ne mystery has since been unfolded, and the causes are as apparent as the sun at noon-j day without a cloud. It, was the armis-j tice, or cessation of hostilities, which Gen.; Dearborn, the senior ollicer of the army, agreed to the beginning of August, and) which lie communicated to Hie Secretory of War, on Ihe Btli of the same in nth, as ap-j pears l»y his letter its that date, in which] the army I commanded was not included, hut which, extended lo all the oilier forces on the northern borders. I his convention, or agreement entered into bv G-neral Dear “ . v . . i b m, and its consequences on ins situation,, will be c msidered in my future numbers. 1 It now appeared that the whole war a-" gainst Canada, was to be carried on with the 12 li) )luo militia, and three hundred regular*, which were placed under my com mand. L will be remembered belore I crossed h- river, and took a positing in the enemy’s c matry, I stated to the Secretary of war, in my letter of the 9lh of July, which has been before referred to, that 1 did not consider my force adeqmte to the enterprise, and in a former number, have staled the reasons, which induced me to cross the river and take possession of Sand wich. When I received these letters from Gen. Hall and Gen. Porter, the expectations which 1 hail belore entertained of my com munication by the lake being opened by a naval force, and ol assistance and co-ope ration, from our armies on the Niagara li- 1 ver, were at an end. These letters from Generals Hall and Porter, were admitted in evidence on my trial, and the time and' circumstances of receiving them proved, bv the testimony of t'olonel Miller, to tviumi 1 communicated the contents. (See Col. Miller’s testimony, page 117, Lieut. Col. Forbes’ report of my trial.) Alter this information, and thus situated, I determined lo recross the river with the principal part of the army, not with an in tention of relinquishing the object of the re duclnm ol Malilen, and offensive operation against Canada, but of waiting until mot. favourable circumstances should prese themselves, ami i,i the mesiitime of attempt ing to open my communication through tin wilderness. I had now, no communication with m Country, and it was not possible to obt.n any through any other channel. On th security of this communication for the pur pose of obtaining supplies, 1 considered tlu very existence ot my army depended. If I had believed that an attack on Mal den, with a probability of success, w«ul« have effected the object of opening tin communication, or of even giving facility to it, I should cheei fully have undertaken it. As I have before observed, my own fame, and the gratification of my officers, were powerful inducements to the measure. Si luated, however, as I was, it was rny opin 1 ion that it would have been a useless waste of blood, and success would have been at ■ tended with no advantage. i The reduction of Malden could have had I no effect on the naval force of the enemy, i unless all the harbours on the Canada shore, I and among the islands, had been in our i possession. It would have been utterly i impossible to have maintained the fortress. I It must have fallen for the want of sup- i j plies. I’he waters of the lakes would have i remained shut against us. If, therefore, * the road through the wilderness to the set- . tlements of Ohio could have been opened, i still no supplies could have passed into (he I fort without crossing ihe water, and that I wmld have been prevented by the enemy’s naval force. t As Michi li na'kanack had fallen, if we | had possessed Malden, in a very short time it would hav • been assailed by all the Ca- a nadians attached to the North-western s Co npany, with the numerous and power- v lul hosts of savages of that region, and by t th • British force, which had landed on the f w-siern part of Lake Ontario, with the s militia and savages ot that part of thecoun- n try. Die naval armament would have co- e operated with these forces tlie supplies t would have been intercepted, and no relief a 0 assistance could possibly have been as n forded. tl If, with the knowledge I had of the for- d ces which were march) ig against me, I had c made an attack on M ilden, it would have t been as great a crime as any of which 1 r was accused by the adinnistration, and I li ceitainly should have wanted Ihe consci- t oisness ot hiving acted fiom the purest ' motives, a ul according to my best jmlg- li dn -nt, which has been my consolation in all e 1 ha»'e suffered. Thus it appears, that the little army I commanded was entirely cut oft’ from the country, and could receive no more susten- c unce Iron it than the arm can receive sus- t jtenance wuen cut off ami separated from c the human body; and rein,lining in this si- - tuati m, it must as im-vitu ily h ve perish- i ed a* the arm would perish without receiv- f iug sustenance from Ihe source on w deli i t depend d tor life. As I considered the --x --is ence of my army depended on opening ' [the coin nu licati m through the road to 0- I I bin, and as no oilier possible mode presen- ( ted ot affecting it but byrecrossing the ri- » ver with the principal part of the army, it t I was adopted on the evening of the 7lh of' August. ( these, fellow citizens, as I observed in my defence, were the grounds on which i t made a retrograde movement with a part f of the army to Detroit, ii was from thence i 1 could open the only channel, through s which it could derive the means of its ■ x istence. II my judgment then misled me, I it continues yet to mislead me ; for every i day that I have lived 1 have become more i confident that I did right to leave the ene- \ I uiy’s country. Had 1 followed the dictates i |ol my own judgment I should have made i my retreat to the Miami, and there wailed t for co-operation and assistance. The dis- s lance from thence to the settlements in ()- * hio would have been comparative!v short ; ( I should have had no enemy in my rear but jfc savages, and it might have be. n possible to have preserved my communication, and ob tained -applies. Tie day liter I recross- ' led the river, (the 9ih of August,) I propus* 1 | ed this measure to some of (he p ineipaljl | officers i will li re give tlie answer of ' Col. Cass. It was, that if I did, under the f existing circumstances, every man of the * 0 do volunteers and militia would leave me. s His language was, as e states it himself, J that the militia would retreat with me it * they thought a retreat necessary. But as ' they undertook to judge that it was not then :l necessary, they would leave me, and not a ' man would retreat under my command. * Colonel Cass’- testimony on this subject is I in the following words: “I recollect a* conversation, after the retreat from Canada, 11 and before we went to (lie river Busin, in I which General Hull suggested, that as he 1 heard of no co operation from below, it * might be necessary to t ike post at the Mi- t ami. 1 think 1 told Gen. Hull that, if uu- * der existing circumstances, he took such a 1 ; step, the Ohio militia would desert him to a man. Whether I told Gen. Hull so or not, ' 1 am confident it would have been the ’ ; case.” This, among many other tilings 1 which might be mentioned, is evidence if* | the insubordination which was among the * , troops. That this spiiit was encouraged Lh i the principal officers is evident, from' the I confessions ol some ol them on mv trial. ( The officers were indebted to the s Idiers • [ for their stations ; th--y were their neigh I bours, and were elected by them. Th-y • lived together, in camp on Habits of perfect : equality, and before this campaign, neither I dicers nor soldiers had ever seen anv ac- • oil service, and had never been accustom I d to any military discipline excepting com ianv trainings ab nit 'hen doors. It is un it-cessary for me to describe the di iculiy , I commanding troops of such a character ; •r of performing any military operations J there ouedience to orders is essential to , access. No better exemplification can pos ( nbly be given than the conduct which Doth ( officers and men exhibited on inis occasion, j It may probably be asked, why did you iot arrest the principal officers who had »een guilty of this conspiracy, and who had ■xcited this insubordination ? i answer, >y asking another question. Whether you believe these volunteers from the militia, who composed more than two thirds of the army, would have suffered the leaders they had chosen, to be deprived of their com mand ? VVhe:her an attempt of the kind would riot have produced a civil war in the camp ? This aame spirit had been mani fested from the commencement to the end of the compuign. It was manifested at Ur banna, by a part of the milit a refusing to march when ordered. It was manifested at Detroit by one hundred and eighty re fusing to cross the liver when ordered ; it was manifested on the inarch, by conduci towards some of their own officers, too ri diculous and cdsgraceful to be repeated. And it finally appeared that a Cataline was in our camp, who had formed a conspiracy to deprive me of the command, with which I had been entrusted by the government. This fact appears by the lett-r of Colonel Cass to the Secretary of War, which is published in my trial. Under the events which hail taken place, and w .ich had come to my knowledge, I should have b*en wanting in the dudes which I owed to my station, had I not re treated from Canada. 1 retreated for the purpose of raking me most effective mea sures in my pow t for opening my cuininu ideation. Its importance I haveende ivour ed <o explain. Indeed it was s<> obvious that the administration was sensible of it, and one of the articles of charges against me was, for not keepingit open, and iiio tber for withdrawing the army li m Cana da, tin- only measure by which it possibly could have Deep effected, limy letters to the Secretaiy of war, nn ne.lintel/ after the; retreat, I stated tin* same reasons which 1 ! have here given. Likewise in inv letters to Govern >r Meigs, of 0 do, Governor "’cott, of Kentucky &■■. These letters' bear date the Bth, 9*h, and Nth of Au gust, and were in evidence on my trial. All these letters, written at the tim vsliewi hat I retreated Irom Can da because 1 had' ascertained that 1 -mould soon be s n iouod-! i*d by an overwhelm ng force ; because there was no pos-ibi t* f opening mv com nunicati in from tint station, and be cause 1 found the few re ulars and militia under my command, wer to b left <o car rv on, without any as» sta ee or cu-opera tion, the offensive war, which the L ; i ed Stiles had declared against oim of the most powerful nations on earth. By are | ferrcnce to my trial, it will appear, that Colonel Ca-iS and others of my Hi er-, were sensible at this time of the difficul ties of inv situation. In a I tier in Mr, 'Si I liman, ot 0 jo, me br-ihe in law of the Colonel, he savs,“tha provisions would become necessary for the existence of th ■ troops lo a letter to' tin; same, a Her Hi fdl of Micldlliinackaii ii k, he says, “ hat me impression pnai*,, |,y that, event c uld scarcely•mc**ived.’’ A cording to Mr 'silliinin’s (es'lmony in his letter- to him, (hdo el C iss pressed him to use his i H i dice to iirocure re-enfn emeu - f n the ar mv, and expressed his surprize that we vv re left without co-open I ion, by putting to liis correspondent (lie following inlerro Ration, “ Is there nothing to be done in die lower end of the lakes to make a diver sion in om fivour ?” in a letter to the '.nne gentleman on the 1-2'h of August, Colonel Cass says, “ think our situation as bad is you may, i is still worse,” The inteival between 40 and dO has al ways been considered as a dangerous period in the life of women and, on -hat account, has been caked their critical age. Impressed with this opinion, all women come to that time of life with apprehension, nor do they think them-.! Ives secure'ill they have pas sed it. Some writers, indeed, had expies sed their doubts as to the truth of this opin ion, but as the facts tliry brought forward were local, M. Chateanneuf undertook to ex amine the qu-'Mion upon a large scale. He! did not, therefore, confine his inquiries to Branee, but extended them to Switzerland, Berlin,' i weden and Pefersb trgh, selecting the most authentic records, and collecting as large a number as possible, amounting to! 140,000 women. Then comparing their; mortality at d fferent ages ever five years, 1 Irom 3 > to 7U, ie found no particular in crease of mort lity at the period lo iked up on as critical, & no other than such as is the natural consequence of the dei line of life. l itis was qually the case when lie ennsi-: dered dvm either collectively or separately! with regard to their respective countries,! whether in Hie bustle of civil life or in thei tranquil retirement of religious seclusion. Such a conclusion is highly gratifying, and if properly inculcated into the minds ot the fair sex, will dispel those gloomy terrors that cloud and harrass so great a part of their ex istence. Another remarkable fact, arising tiom a similar comparison of the different ages of men, is that mortality is proportion ably greater among them between forty and lifty : so that what was erroneously consi dered the critical period for women, is real ly the critical age of men, A young man previousl y of excellent cha racter, wassmt from the State of .Mississip pi lately to New-Orleans to sell 77 bags of Cotton. After transacting the business w dl, and receiving pay, lie was bes* t, in toxicated and seduced by gamblers, and lost the whole of the money. He afterwards, in despair, enlisted as a soldier. £ irom lAyex^ooV y From th« New-York Evening Post, April 20. | We were yesterday enabled to give ac counts of the London and Liverpool markets L ‘ to the 22d ult. This morning we have been favored with the following copies of letters from Liverpool, of the 24th and 25th March, received by the Corinthian, and from which ' ’ it will be seen that another advance in the price of cotton had taken place.

The wind 11 was blowing very fresh from the north west, 8 and fears were entertained that the destruc-| a lion would be very great. The lire coin-| v menced in a three story building in Canal- a street, and such was the fury of the flames, I 1 ■that in a short time the whole building was ( I level with the ground In less than half an 4 | hour the lire had extended through to Lesp-1* jenard sweet, and for some time destitution of the bb ck between Church, 11 street and Broadway ; and, indeed, from the great distance the burning flakes were driven, it was believed it would not be ar- a rested even at Broadway. About forty en j 8 I gines were soon in operation, and we never," saw the several companies more actively en-T gaged than they were during the fire. About * ' 12 o’clock, and when the supply of water was nearly exhausted, the fire was fortu nately subdued, but many of the companies were compelled to remain on the ground un- 1 til day light lids morning. We again urge A . the necessity of having public cisterns. Last i . night, tiie chief supply of water was from ( f private cisterns and the public pumps. ( The following are the particulars as far c . as we have been able to ascertain them : v The House in which the fire originated, a was the property of the occupant, aMr.ig Reid, and was, together with its furniture, 1 completely destroyed. The house adjoining the property of Mr. Michael Queen, and one occupied by Philip I. Schuyler, and owned by Dr. Samuel McCauley, were greatly injured. Considerable damage was done to the house of Mr. Harsell, sash ma - ker, of which he is owner and occupant.- In Lespenard-street, the sufferers are Dr. McCauley, Messrs. Benjamin Rutsell, Ed ward Fisk, Andrew Colvill.and Mr. Jones. The loss cannot, at present, be'ascertained, with any tolerable degree of accuracy ; but it is understood that the property was, in ■general, insured. It is believed to have 'originated from a spark having accidentally fallen among some shavings in the cellar. OOC- II hid. Savannah, April 29. A man named Michael Nugent was kill ed in an affray on Wednesday night last, at about half past eleven o’clock, at a Grocery Store, near the eastern end of the Bay. As many stories have been in circula tion, we give the following particulars. Nugent, we understand, was a discharged soldier recently arrived from St. Augus tine. The dispute originated in aSO cent bill given by him lor liquor, 8r for which he demanded the change of a d . r It refused, and an al tercarion ensi' * when h was ordered and ultimately 10. ! mt by Farr, the keeper of the store soon after returned, the di ••ute newed, and he was again rocd o by Farr and his wife—the latt ''coining to a part of the evidence bef< <.

The head of the deceased pre sented a shocking spectacle, the left side of the upper part of it having been carried off and a part of the brains literally b own out. It is stated that all the parties were more or less intoxicated ; and that Farr express ed his willingness immediately to surren der himself to justice. He was apprehend ed the same night with his wife and com mitted to j dl, where he will remain for trial at the next term of the Superior Court in this city the latter having been discharged. The following is the verdict of the Jury of Inquest " That the said Michael Nugent came to his death by the discharge of a gun tired by the hands of John Furr, on the night of the 27th of April, 1825, in the city of Savannah, the charge from which said gun entered the head of said Michael Nugent, which occa sioned instant death.” [Georgian. The Stomach Pump. — This instrument was successfully employed in this city on Monday evening last, in the case of a per son named llyley, who drank off at one draught a pint of raw gin, and, whilst en deavoring to swallow two glasses of rum di rectly afterwards, fell as though shot to the floor. The man was instantly carried home, and put to bed, and the assistance of Mr. Weaver, surgeon, and Mr. Leet was spee dily obtained. The power of swallowing was completely destroyed, so that the usual method of administering emetics was una vailing ; neither could vomiting be produced by exciting the sauces with a feather. Un der these distressing circumstances, it was determined to send to the infirmary for the ‘ stomach pump,” and the use of that in strument on the present occasion, fully con firmed the high expectations which have jeen formed of this novel, though really ser viceable apparatus. A strong emetic, com* posed of 15 grains of sulphate of z,inc, dis solved in a tea-cupful of warm water, was first passed into (he stomach by the instru ment and immediately afterwards two pints as water were injected ; the flexible tube of Ihe pump was now withdrawn, and after a lapse of five minutes, the whole contents of the man’s stomach, having a strong odor of gin, and of the color of whey, were vomited into a wash-hand basin, which was thus nearly filled ! In the case of this individual it was found easier to inject fluids into the stomach than withdraw them by the pump, although it would act either way when tried witn water, passed into or withdrawn from an open vessel. It is, however, highly im portant to know, that this new instrument (when the patient cannot swallow) aflbrds the readiest method of injecting emetics in to the stomach, both in a concentrated and diluded state, and by the quick excitement of the organ, copious vomiting is effected.— It was thus that the pump, in the instance before us, proved its value and utility, and the life of an intemperate man was pre served.—[Chester Chronicle .] The papers of the week contain the cases es two oilier persons who have b en saved from the dead ly effects of poison by this instrument. fiV.
