And how comes it sir, that after 12 years of
anti-ha /al, anti-commercial policy, we should
at the of this war, have a na
w better conditioned officered and manned,

stares that we have given this war a sanguin
an character. Barbarity, sir, is not a trap in
he A merican character If we have been re
duced to the painful necessity ■of retaliating
the cruelties of the British, it has been with
much rel usance and regret Bui gentlemen
have no bowels of compassion” for an Amer
caij* citizen—they cln weep for a Briton, ad
minister comfort, throw open the prisonddors,
but have no charity to “ begin at home.**
The barbarities at Havre de-Grace afid Hamp
ton. and elsewhere, the conflagrations, mur
ders, rapes, are looked on in the calm
of mild philosophy. Britons may burn des
fenceless villages, murder*unresisting citizens
wantonly abuse defenceless females, and de
file a church in the name of the bulwark«of
our re ligion, and this is all well; but the mo
me*; a little retaliation is administered, gentle
men grow wonderfully compassionate, weep,
and in extreme anguish of soul cry out barbar
ity ! .
The old story of the cruelty of the Indians
is again told. From the frequent expressions
of tenderness of his excellency towards those
children of <!he forest, one would suppose
that we were connected wUh them also “by
ties of blood, and habits of friendship.*’ The
honorable member from Suffolk, (Mr. Thorn
dike) to prove incontestibly, that the United
States wished to get away their lande, has
‘did us a story, that while he was at Washing
ton, a proposition was made by a member to
establish a line of military posts; and when it
was objected, that this would deprive them of
the«r lands, this member said {either in or out
of Congress) iharthis was what he wished.
Fhe hon. gentleman did not mention this
member’s name, so that he is in. no danger
of contradiction, but the proposition was rior
adopted. How wonderfully this gentleman
has succeeded in hisproof! youcommisetate
these Indians and charge the government with
cruelty towards them. Here again is discovered
the same indifference towards their measures.
The Creeks had progressed in improvement,
bey had no cause of quarrel with us; they
began he contest, and the first act of barbari
ty is uhparralleled. Fort Mims was taken
by assault, every man was inhumunly butcher,
ed, and to complete, the scene of horror, they
put the women and children into the houses,
set them on fire and perform a war dance
round them, while these innocents were expi
ring tat he flames The gentlemen, however,
have no tears, to shed for these victims.—
They can witness the ftames, the blood, the
shrieks, and the groans, and hear the savage ‘
yell without one thrilling or even tender emo
tion. But when these ferocious, bloos thirsty
wretches are chastised for this atrocity, and
do not receive the mercy which they have de- \
nied the innocent, and which they refuse to \
accept, what an infernal affectation of compas j
sioi d<v&e witness ! Great God ! are .these

Fhe downiarof Bonaparte seems to give
he gentlemen great joy and exultation. That
t birain should rejoice at the dovvnfal of her
■ «*ntffny, is not unnatural; that her friends in \
\ merica shoud join in her joy, is nothingpew-
Bur whether a citizen of the United States, a
friend to their prosperity , and happiness,
should rejoice at these events demands a
doubt. That France should remain a princi

As to the state of opinions in America it
appears, that having heard of the low state’of
of Napoleons affairs the people there were
counting with confidence, on an immediate
peace. They had not then heard of the ac
tual dethronement of Napoleon ; and of the
consequent language of our public prints ac
companied with statements relative to troous
immediately to be sent off to America
What effect these will produce in the minds of
the people and of the government there I know
not; but, so slowly do they generally move it
is not probable, that yhe troops will meet
with any thing like an army tq. oppose them.
The Americans have no experienced officers*-
They have no discipline. They will too I
dare say, thinkthat because they beat Eng
-land in the last war, they can do it again
and much easier, having now five times as
numerous a popuiatiop. . But, in the first place
they will not have to contend against such
generals as they had to contend against before
nor such officers and soldiers They will if
our troops really should land in their country
have to contend with these who have defeated*
French armies ; with skill of all sorts, experi
ence in the men a* well as in the officers • w th

they expect that the emperor of Russia, who

The subjoined letter from one of Captain
Caldwell’s troopers to his friend in this city,,
contains the latest intelligence from our vol
unteers on the Patient, and affords a correct
account of an occurrence which has been
much misrepresented by verbal reports.
Near Benedict, June 22,1814.
.My last informedjyou from, John son’f|M ills,
that the enemy had left Benedict on the’ pre
ceding morning. About 2 o’clock yesterday*
however, we received information that the’
enemy had again landed at Benedict. The
(cavalry from the District under the command
o£maj. John Peter, immediately marched for
that place; our artillery and riflemen being
several miles in the rear. We reached the
hills above Benedict about half past 5 o’clock,
in the evening, w here we found gen. Stuart
with a company ofriflemen, and a few caval
ry and infantry, all militia like ourselves—
Scarcely had we arrived, having received on
the road certain information that the enemy
were at Benedict, than it was ascertained that
a small detachment of the enemy, probably %
marauding party, were in sight. The word
was given to charge, and our cavalry rushed
on with such impetuosity as intirely to break”
tfieir own ranks, which, considering the na
ture of the ground, was perhaps necessary!—
Though at a great distance when we came
in sight, We presently overtook three or four
of the enemy and made them prisoners. The
remainder of the party made their way into
an adjoining field over a fence which it was
necessary to pull down before we could get a*
them. After some fighting, two or three more
were taken in the field and one killed. All
the rest, being but few, one of them a lieut.

have to lament the loss of one of the Alexan

with a musket by one-of the British, who
most bravely fought until he was killed by re
peated wounds and who proved to be a ser
geant of marines of proverbial courage and
strength, as he evinced on this occasion, hav
ing before he was disabled, \vcunded. anot he r
of «tnftroopers with his bayonet, and very
nearly overpowered Gen. Stuart of the militia,
whoenguged him after Wise was killed. By
the lime we had cleared the field, formed our
troops again within abont 4CW yards oT the
town, the riflemen (mifttia) and a small com
pany of ill-organized artillery wlthtwo pieces
advanced on the ground. Meanwhile the en
emy, from his brig and"barges opened a very ,
brisk fire of ronnd an#grape shor on us’ ux
fifteen or twenty minutes, to which the ca
valry were particularly fix posed, very few of
whom probably ever heard the whistling of
shot about their ears; but whb stood their
groundwith much steadiness. A few shot

J Canandaigua , June 21.
Several detachments of troops have passed
through this village the last fortnight, to and
from the Niagara frontier. It is imderstootf
that an effort is making to bring detached
parts of the sams regiments together whickr
have been heretofore scattered’in every direc
tion. ‘* i
The largest portion of the army seems t®
be concentrating at Plau/burg, tinder gen-
Izard s and from that quarter we . may calcu
late upon offensive operations being soon cotrw
me need. The army on the Niagara frontier
seems to be calculated rather for the purpose
[ofdefence, and as a corps of observation,
j It is not improbable that it will be transport*
the lake as soon as the state ofotne
,fleet will permit. •;
