We lay be foie our readers to day
the proclamation of admiral Coch
rane received an New London, whi-’
tfeer it was transmitted by some pas
sengers in a neutral vessel who were
permitted to land, announcing a
general blockade of thaf part of our
Aast not before blockaded. This,
Instrument is dated at Bermuda, ancf
was probably issued f though that
.fact is not material) before official
knowledge of the repeal of the Emi
bargo and Noh-I mportation* had
reached this island. The effect of
this proclamation will be to render
the blockade of our toast much
more extensive, but perhaps less
offensive < than before, inasmuch
as it takes away Vhe character of
discrimiwat'on which has been in
|fused by the enemy into their mea
sures as to the Eastern and Southern
ports of the/U. States. 1 But, by so
much the more extensive as is this
paper blockade* by so much more is
it inconsistent with the laws’ of Na
tions, and by so much the ‘more ob
noxious to those neutral powers
whose good will, one would think
it is the interest of/the enemy to
conciliate. It is obviously impossible
for the enemy to* station « off the
sud ports aud places a naval force
adequate to maintain tht* said block*
ade in the most rigorouk and effec
|tive manner/’ pnless it be admitted
that an hundred ships sailing off &
on, can blockade a coast of twb thou
sand miles in extent./ It is a fact
notorious so all, that not one of our
vessels of war, on its hettirn to port
has been intercepted by the enemy*
smee the commencement oi* the War,
notwithstanding the large force he
has constantly maintained at great
expense and risk, along our coast Sc
it is verily believed, from this and
other circumstances, that his thou
sand ships of war, all devoted to that
serv»ce would be adequate to aO ef
fectual blockade of our ports, or at
least to a blockade, as tie ferrp is
defined by the 1 .W « f n t on>, . and
understood and rtcogn zid by the
European neutrals,—•This* measure
of the enemy therefore, be its ob* __
jtpt what is avowed to be, or be it
not, can only injure his own inter
ests; l. By preventing if effectual,
.or, at any rate, impeding the im
portation of hisjpwn manufactures
into this country in neutral bottoms ;
2. By irritating neutrals by a system
of flagitious and illegitimate block
ade, by which they will be immedi
ately
it.’ As to the motive of this sweep
ing measure as it respects ourselves,
we do not Consider it at all indica
tive of the present feeling, of the
British government, because adopt
ed by one of its agents at a distance
from the theatre of dm negotiations
with the enemy, who could not nave
been apprized of their progress and
probably husf had no reference to
their existence. The temper of the
enemy can only be correctly ascer
tained by the first dispatches of our
Ministers from \ Gottenburg. At
least such is our impression*
j -CONVENTION ’
For the Exchange of prisoners. -
Head Quarters Montreal,
Adjutant General’s Office, April 16.
GENERAL ORDER.
<* His excellency the Governor in
chief and commander of the forces
announces to the troops under his
command that he was pleased to
sanction and confirm, bn The 15th
inst. articles of a convention entered
into by Col. Baines* adjutant gene
ral to the forces, and Brig. General
Winder of the army of the United.
States of America, for the mutual
release of all prisoners of war, hos
tages or others, with the exception
of the forty-six American officers
and non-commissioned officers plac
ed in close confinement, as hostages
in conformity to the General Order
of tlie 27th October last, iu retalia
tion for 33 British born subjects, ta
ken from the rants oC the enemy,
and sent to England for legal trial*
By this agreement it i* stipulated
—Thatall prisoners of war, (the a*
bovementioned shall be
mutually exchanged, and delivered
at such plades as shall be agreed
on, with aU convenient expedition;
and shall be declared respectively
and aU severally to. be released, and
free to carry arrosj anil serve on the
15th day of May next, the same as
if they never had been prisoners of
I And it hits been ivutper pro-
Tided,that whatever balance shad ap
pear ort the returns of of
war respectively exchanged, or given
up on parole by either party, since
the commencement of hostilities,
the number of prisoners for which
an equivalent has n®t been returned,
sliall be withheld from all militmry
service until <1 lly exchanged. :
It is with a proud satisfaction
Wat thl comrhander of the ‘Forcel
, feels confident that thi£ provisional,
clause can never apply to the army|
of Canada, from the immense ’ dis-?
parity’ in the number'and rank of”
the prisoners it has returned to the
enemy. ; IP’ ‘< > v*. <;* ’>>• 4 •

U. S. Ship General Pike, 1
Sakett's Harbor, 1 April 27, 1814
SIR— The night of tner 25th mst.
two of our guard-boats -fell in with :
three of the boats in this
bay., Lieut. Dudly fthe officer of
the guard] hailed and wa*,a
**guardpoats however hot be
ing satisfactory, he repeated the hail
but was npt answered } firraiug. that
the ‘Strange boats were attempting
to cut him off from the snore, he
fired upod them ; the enemy, laying
upon their oars a shaft time, pulled
in towards Bull Rock Point, without
returning the fire.r Ldeut. i)a lly re
turned to\the’fleet, and got a rein
forcement of boats; but nothing
more was seen of the cite my that
night. ‘ Yesterday mornuig i direct
ed both'shores of Sherhiont Bay to be
examined, do see weather tne chinny j
had not secreted himself in some oi
the small creeks, v NothmiJ however
*was discovere but six barrels of
powders found ip the water near the 9
|shofei whcre*bur guard boatji fired
*bn the enemy ; these barrels were
all slung in such a manner, mat one
man could fake two across on his
shoulders and carry them; each bar
rel’ had a hole boar,ed in the head ot
about an inch diameter with a wood
en plug in it, thesb barrels of. pow
der were evidently fitted for the pur
pose of blowing our large J ship; up,
if the enemy could haVe gbt.in undis
covered* by placing them under the
ship's bottom and putting a piece of
slow match or port fire in the hole
in the head, which ■ would ; burn a
sufficient time to allow tlfe’ parties
to escape before the fire would com
municate to the powder; this also
’ accounts for the enemy not returning
the fire of our boats, fur having so
much powder in, he Was apprehen
sive of accidents, which no doubt in*
duced him to heave it overboard, to
return the fire if he was pursued.
