Os the Campaign of the North Western
Arm;), in the year 1812. Addressed to

No. XXIII.
By tho letter of the Secretary of War l]
to Gen. Dearborn, referred to in the last (
number, il appears, that the agreement he !
had made wtth Sir George Frevost, for a ‘
suspension of hostilities, was entirely tlis- ‘
approved by the President, and he was 1
commanded to cause it to cease, after due 1
notice. Ir is impossible to account for the 1
motive* which induced h:in in adopt Uie '
measure. Ail my letters, stating my situ- '
atom in the enemy’s country, had been sent 1
to him by the Secretary of War. He I
knew that toe lake was shut against me ; 1
and, by the Secretary’s letter, he was in
formed, that a body of Indians bad assem
bled on the road I had opened through the
wilderness, and had stopped a company of
Ohio militia, at the vliaim, which was es
corting provisions to Detroit, lor the sup
port of my army. He knew by the same
letters, sent to him by Uie Secretary of
War, that Michillimackanack had fallen ;
that the savages had joined the British
standard, and all the northern and western
tribes were marching m hostile array against
me. Under these circumstances, if his
own military experience, and knowledge
did not teach him Iris duty, via : the ne
cessity of co-operation with ihe forces un
der my command, he hail before him die
positive in tiers of the government. After
making this agreement, it became impossi
ble for him, during its continuance, to have
obeyed the orders of his government, in
making diversions and co-operations, with
out a violation of the faith he had pledged. 1
Had he the power, by his commission, to
make an agreement which would render
him incapable of obeying the orders of loose
from whom he received his authority ? 1
ask, then, by what authority did he make
this armistice. ? It was not, by the authori
ty of the government, because, in my for
mer numbers, I have cited the letter of the
government, by which the measure was
disapproved, in the most pointed language.
But, suppose, by his commission as the seni
or Major General in the army, a discretion
ary power was vested in him to make an ar
mistice ; did he in this instance, exercise
that power properly, by agreeing to a mea
sure, which totally disqualified him from
carrying into effect the orders of his gov
ernment? a ask you, then, my follow citi ;
zens, on what grounds this measure ca j boj
justified ? If it cannot be justified on mili
tary principles, permit me again to ask you,
what motives could have induced him to j
have adopted it? 1 will not even ask thel
question, whether it was to shield himself|
from personal danger, in attacking the ene-|
my’s posts, and co-operating with die forces
under my command. I have too often wit-1
nessed his bravery, during the war of the
revolution, to make a suggestion of the
kind.
Was it the fear that the forces under my
command, having first, made the invasion of
Upper Canada, would hive shared some
part of the glory, in the event of conquest?
When he was commanded by the admin
istration to concentrate his forces at Niaga-|
ra.and co-operate with me, and only make
a feint against Montreal, why did he direct
the principal part of them to Flatlsburg and
Burlington, on lake Champlain f He must
have, foreseen, that hy agreeing to the sus
pension of hostilities, in the manner he did,
the whole force of the enemy would be re
moved for the defence of that part of the
province which was invaded. This he must
have perceived, unless he had become gid
dy by his elevation, and could not dis- 1
cern his duty. It is possible, that it was
not his expectation that the government 1
would approve of the measure, and would
have ordered it to have ceased, alter giving
due notice ; and in such an event before
the enemy’s force could have returned to
M ontreal, lie might have advanced his for-i
ce* from Flattsburg and Burlington, and
taken possession of that capital. In such a
case he undoubtedly supposed all the glo
ry would be his own, and that such an a
chiovement would have more than compen
sated for the sacrifice of my army.
If he were not influenced by any of the
motives which have been here suggested,
let me ask you, whether they were not the
same, which induced him, in publishing a
narrative of the battle of Bunker Hill, to
open the tomb, and violate the ashes of the
brave General Putnam, more than twenty
years after he had rested from his patriotic
labours r—a chief whose name alone was a
host at the commencement of our revolu
tion, and whose gallant deeds, are identifi
ed with the glory of our country. Futnan.
was then a general and Dearborn was a cap
tain.
It he were capable of making represen
tations intended to blast the laurels, which
had so long flourished around the tomb of
thiji brave commander, does it not in some
measure account fur his motives, in attempt
tug to rob me of the little fame, 1 had ac
quired in following the standard of the il
lustrious Washington, during the war of
our revolution. Every man engaged in that
memorable battle is entitled to glory ; and
had General Dearborn been contented with
the share to which his rank and conduct en
titled him, no one would have been so un- i
generous twenty years after his death, as to ,
have opened his tomb, violated his ashes, or
attempted to blast even the twig of n lau- .
reL which might have been found growing 1
around it.
He must have known when he agreed tu (
the armistice, that a very considerable time (
must elapse, even, il the government dis- i
approved of it, before its operation would i
have ceased. The despatches must have <
travelled from his Head Quarters, to Wash- 1
ington, and from Washington back to Al-Ji
bany; he then must have given notice to (
Sir George Frevost at Qiebec or Montreal, >
and have waited a reasonable time for this t
notice to have arrived. As the division of t
the army I commanded had no participa- <
lion in the measure, he well knew the ad
vantages he thereby gave the enemy in con- t
centrating his whole force to the scene of
my operations—he knew that during this
period, it would not be necessary for the
enemy to retain a single effective man at i
any of the stations, on the Niagara river, t
Kingston, Montreal, or any of me p<ist», t
in me eastern part of the province.—Hed
well knew, that the whole force of the Bri- t
tish army, in that section of territory, the 1
mditia of the Canadas, ami the savages of <
the wilderness might be employed m op- i
posing the offensive operations, I had com- 1
menced, ami at that moment was engaged t
in prosecuting. Ho was perfectly acquaint- t
cd both with my situation, and the situa
tion of the enemy ; that 1 was surrounded
on all sides, and had no communication j
with my country ; that by the command of
lake Erie, and being in the possession of |
armed ships, transports, and boats, all the
troops from fort Erie, fort George, with all
tlie militia of that part of the province, might
with the greatest facility, have been moved to n
any point, where their services were mosi •*
necessary.—That two or three days would
only have been required, to have transport- (
ed them to Malden, or any part of the De- j
troit river—lhat by the command of lake
Dntario the forces from Kingston, York, j
and that part of the province, with the j
same facility and despatch, might have v
been removed to the west part, of the lake,
ami marched to the same point—all these
advantages, General Dearborn must have
well known, would be given to the enemy,
when he signed this agreement, for the sus
pension of hostilities.
In the course of these memoirs, I shall
show, that all these advantages were made
use of; and in consequence of this mea- j
sure, which was unauthoiized and disap- j
proved by the government, the plan of the
British commander succeeded according to j
I the expectation, which was anticipated.
I The measure lam now considering, my ,
fellow citizens, had such an effect on my
situation, that no apology, I presume will
lie necessary, for asking your very particu-'
dar attention to all the circumstances, .it- t
i tending it.— It will be recollected from the 1
copy of the letter of (he Secretary of war, *
(hat he had received General Dearborn’s of ,|
'the Bth and 9th of August, communicating
! information of the suspension of hostilities,
land the cause of it. Colonel Baynes, the
adjutant general of the army commanded
by Sir George Frevost, was the officer ap- •
pointed and authorized on his pari tu make |
(his negotiation.—He must have arrived at t
the head-quarters of General Dearborn as t
early as tue 6th or 7th of August ; —couse t
quently he must have left Montreal, as ear- ,
Iv as the first of August, the distant e being |
'about two hundred and forty miles—Sir|b
George Frevost, calculating on tile successji,
of this measure, no doubt gave General (
Brock immediate information respecting it,
us soon, as Colonel Baynes commenced his 0
journey, with directions to proceed with c
all the forces, to Malden.—ln addition to
this, Major General Slieafe, marched with
the forces from Montreal to Kingston, where
a great part of them embarked passed to d
ithe west part of Lake Ontario, there land- 8
ed, marched to the relief of Malden, col- ■'
Electing the militia and savages on their 8
| march. v
Tims il appears, that eight or nine days u
| before the agreement was actually signed, *
( all the British forces were put in motion, s
and concentrating to the only point where '
I I the invasion of the Upper Province had
I been made, and these arrangements must i
have been made on the presumption that t
Colonel Baynes would obtain a suspension I
of hostilities. i
The. inquiry now becomes important i
What information had General Dearborn \
received by the Adjutant-General which i
could have afforded even a shadow of co \
lour for the nie i-n cs he ad pted ? J’uis 1
information was communicated by him, to i
the Secretary of W.ir, and in (lie Secreta- i
rv’s letter to me, ha- been recited in the t
former number ; and it is so important it s
should b> perfectly umlers ood, that I will v
here again repeat the substance of it—He c
sajrs, that Gen. Dearborn has conimunicat
<1 an arrangement, by Which it was agreei
between him and Sir George Prevost, fha
ffl'ensive operations should be suspended
until tiie determination of the governmen
should be made known, to him, on certaii
information, presumed by General Dearborn
lo be contained in a dispatch transmitted bi,
Sir George Prevost, to Mr. linker lute Se
cretary oj Legation to his brittanic Ma
jesty in this city.
I lie Secretary, further says that he was
further instructed by the President to in
torni me, that no communication, such at
was supposed by Gen. Dearborn, might
have been transmitted, has been mode to thh
government. Phis lei ter, which was pre
sumed to contain the information, was not
addressed to Gen. Dearborn, but to Mr,
Baker, at Washington, and he had no other
grounds for consenting to a suspension ol
hostilities, than a bare presumption, that it
might contain something which might ren
der such a measure proper. The grounds
even of this presumption could have been
nothing more, than his conversation with
the Adjutant-General, and the sight of this
sealed despatch to Mr. Baker, which he
was requested to send to the Secretary of
State, to be delivered according to his dis
crelion. 1 now ask you to imagine a rea
son, why he did not w ik for tlie orders of
the government, before he made an agree
ment, which was so important in its conse
quences ?
In my next number I shall consider the
effect, which it had on my situation.

The following are the opinions of three la
dies of eminent literary attainments, on
the subject of Matrimony:
Mrs. E. Montague in her letter, says—
“ I can define matrimonial happiness onlv i
like wit, by negatives. ’Pis not kissing—
that’s too sweet ; —’tis not scolding, that’s
too sour; —’tis not raillery, that’s too bit
ter ; nor is it the continual shuttlecock of
reply—for that’s too tart. In short, 1 hard
ly know how to season it exactly to my taste;
hut 1 would neither have it tart nor mawk
ishly sweet. I should not like to live en
tirely either upon metheglen or verjuice.”
Again, she says, “ 1 fancy in matrimony
one finds variety in one, in the charming vi
cicitudes of—
“ Sometimes my plapie, sometimes my darling,
“ Kissing to-day, to-morrow snarling.*’
“ Could that kind of love,” says Mrs.
Thrate, “ be kept alive through the marriage
state which makes the charm of a single
one, the sovereign good would no longer be
sought for ; in the union of two faithful lo
vers it would be found ; but reason shows
us that Shis is impossible, and experience in
forms us that it never was so : we must pre
serve it as long, and supply it as happily, as
we can.”
“ Hope not,” says the celebrated Madame
de Maintenou to the Princess of Savoy, on
tlie eve of her marriage with the Duke of
Burgundy,” for perfect happiness ; there
is no such tiling on earth ; though there were
it would not be found at Court. Greatness
is exposed to afflictions often more severe
than those of a private station. Be neither
vexed nor ashamed to depend on your hus
band. Let him be your dearest friend, your
only confidant. Hope not for constant har
mony in the marriage state. The best hus
bands and wives arc those who hear occa
sionally from each other salies of ill-humour
with patient mildness. Be obliging, with
out putting great value on your favors.
t- “ Hope not for a full return oftendernesi
id Men are tyrants, who would be free them
it selves and have us confined. You need no
J, be at the pains to examine whether theii
it riglits be well founded ; it is enough if they
n are established. Pray God to keep yot
p, from jealousy. Tlie affections of a huafcanc
y are never to be regained by complaints, re
;- proaches, or sullen behaviour.”

! the son of a respectable banker of that city,
I plead guilty at toe bar to a charge of forg

wholly unexpected by the court, and beingi
delivered in a firm voice, produced a great.

ford, who changed colour and remained si*
‘jlunt for some time. At length, looking ear
[jnently in the prisoner’s face, he enquired
| i( he nad been ind iced to make that plea by
the imp ol a pardon.—He replied that he had
done it deliberately. His lordship told him
to consider .i short time before he determin
ed to persevere in that plea—the prisoner
shook hi» head, reclined on his hand, and
again covered his face, agitated by grief.”

The Recorder. “ Wait a short time.”
The prisoner was then removed ; ami on
being brought back, and saying that he per
isted in hi* plea, the judge, putting on his
black cap, addressed him in a very solemn
manner, and after urging him not to in
ciulge the hope of a pardon, proceeded to
pronounce the sentence of death. The
prisoner seemed to lose all power of breath
i >g, and dropped down his head. Mr. Smith,
one of the prosecutors, who had before at
tempted to address the court, made way
I through the crowd, by the witness box, and
very agitatingly exclaimed :
“ My 1 nd, as the prosecutor, I recom

The consequences of his crime were limited,
the public have suffered nothing—hardly ’
any thing.”
Lord Gifford leant back in his seat, great- ,

Commercial —The following is a transla
tion of the Custom-House Order referred to
in the extract of a letter from Cadiz, pub
lished in our paper of Monday last:
TRANSLATION.
Superintendence General of Customs.
The Secretary of the Treasury, under
date of the 24th of this month, communi
cated to the General Board of Customs, the
annexed Royal Order.
Circular. —The Royal Order of the 4th of
July, ult. directs, that the captains of mer
chant vessels who shall declare at our Cus
tom-Houses, that they have on board goods
or merchandize in transitu, for foreign ports,
shall be required to give bond, under certifi
cate of our Consuls, for the prosecution of
their voyage, to the port of their destination.
The principal object of this order was to
prevent the many frauds that were usually
committed on our coasts, under the above
'pretext. The Junta de Arancelcs, on 4he
3d of the present month, represented to the
King, our Lord, that many of the induce
ments to this illicit commerce had ceased to
exist, and that the above provision was in
competent to its total suppression. His
Majesty has, therefore directed the above
mentioned order of the 4th of July. ult. to
