The charge of French influence comes with an .ex cellent grace from gentlemen who e the incessant advocates of Brit ish rights, the servile eulogists of British justice and magnanimity.

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 men Americans ? . 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 pal power was not only for the safety ‘of Eu rope. but America, It would have'ttontnbu ted much to the safety of the world couTd France and England nave been balanced But how stands the case now ?

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 courage discipline, an 4 the habit of victory All/hese will require something more than toe Americans have ,et thought of-Then i” !iie lattnrar, .meric* hag three great maritime powers on her side, and one power to send her aid in officers and men Do they now look for assistance frhm the friendship of Ferdinand or of Louis, or of the Sovereign Prince of the United Netherlands » Which of the three do they intend to apply to i Or do they expect that the emperor of Russia, who is shortly to come on a, visit to England, will in order to preserve their liberties, send an army of Cossacks to their assistance round bv the way of Kamsrkatka ?

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. hy the name of Marshal, escaped into ah ad joining marsh, reached their vessels. We have to lament the loss of one of the Alexan dria troopers, Francis Wise, was spot 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.
