Ucucrvu ilulV’s •Memoiva, Os the Campaign of the North Western Arm;), in the year 1812. Addressed to the people of the United States. 1 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. JaMAiai Vpril 32.

T hose who have escaped, are Mr. Emery, Mr. J. Starr, and Mr. 1). Williams. It is to be regretted that none of these monsters were taken, but it is some gratifi cation to know that tlieir progress in cruel ty on the higu seas, it not on land, is for the| present arrested. 1 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.” (- . it 's ny XesteviAay’a Ma\\. From the New-Fork Daily Advertiser, May 12. !

The pb a of “Guilty” was wholly unexpected by the court, and beingi delivered in a firm voice, produced a great.

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.

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 mend hiln to mercy if mercy, can be shown. The consequences of his crime were limited, the public have suffered nothing—hardly ’ any thing.” Lord Gifford leant back in his seat, great- , jly affected ; but made no reply.
