CHARACTER OF THE EN GLISH ARMY. We have been told by the En glish papers, that the duke of Wel • lington had agreed to employ the allied troops as custom house of ficers in France, upon condition of their receiving a per centage on the amount of goods that they may seize 4. Thus would profit & glory be made to unite in a man ner never before thought of. This base and dishonorable agreement has not escaped the notice of Mr, Gqbj&ett, who, while comment ing upon this statement in his 26th No. gives the following cha racter of the British army, offi cers and men—and such a char acter, we venture to assert, never was before applied to an army ofl civilized people;—“The army oi j Wellington are a set of imprind- 1 pled wretches, officers as well as j men. What very base creatures? must they be indeed, to receive j the perqu sites of spies and in for-f, mers! I do not believe there b a ■ set of MEANER TV.VVi Z UVO?’ j earth, generally speaking,than < the officers of the English army . arid navy; Nothing isjio disgust- j ingas their society. Their con* * versation almost always turns j upon prize mon£i or plunder- 1 1 ing of some sort or other. If two | of them get together, and any per- j, son happens to overhear thenidh without knowing also what theyij are, he naturally thinks that he is ’ listening to a couple of highway* ;] men, housebreakers or pirates, eci, constantly does their con versa- ’i tion consist of questions, explana-i, tions and narratives, relativet] to their plundering exploits. , I have never dared to publish the , correspondence between those mean pillagers, the Cochranes, I, Oockbums, he. which was pub-! iished long ago in the United States. The people of England are not so base as to hear w ithout , indignation of those low acts of theft which were committed by our naval officers m divers parts of that country. —But there is no , man in England, who dares, through the press , make known , those, or any other of their vile thieveries. n The reader will bear , in rnind, tnat this character of the British army was sketched by a j native and resident of England, who will yield to none of his I countrymen in point of talents or ; he were disposed ; to exaggerate, we all know r to t which side of the question such: a man would most inevitably lean, i ( Exaggerate indeed 4 We all knovv t; that he does not; the people of En gland knows that he does not; the people of Hampton, Frenchtovvn & Havrs-de-Grace~-the wreck ed slaves of India and of Africa i —the miserable subjects of ’ !

After running two leagues square for the fort, on the west side of the line and riv er, they commenced in the centre j of the fort to run due south to the Arkansaw river; the other party proceeded up the Missouri to the mouth of the Caw or Kan scs river, about thirty miles a bove v.s, whence they commence, and run due north one hundred miles, thence due east until they strike die waters of the Mississip pi. “The surveyors, while-atthk place, took the latitude and the va | nation of the compass; the fort | stands in 30 degrees 5 minutes north latitude. The variation of j the. compass was U 1-4 degrees! ica&S. ! The Indian appear somewhat at our funnihg lines, not knowing, ct not wishing toi knew, what i; means, notwith-; standing die treaty which they signed some years ago. Tlnre is 1 but hide danger appreivended cf their commencing hos?ibtres. I believe if they cannot frighten 1 they will not fight us. “ Mr. Choteau, mentioned in my last letter, was not defeated,? as reported, but had a fight; he : had 80 men, and was aitackedby | 150 Pawnees; he lost one man! hilled and had four wounded. He j defeated the Indians, who lost se ven killed, whom he found, but supposed many more were killed; he brought in 44 packs of beaver, or 4,400 pounds. He has return ed with a party of about forty men, to the mountains %o stay “ two years. “ It is astonishkigia what num bers the people are flocking to this country from every state, and of every description.
