HEAR THE” ENEMY v ~ Montreal, June 25. Private advicei from, London slate that a personage high in command, , had submittnd a system, which if clr* cumstances could admit, ought to be in preference to any other ; admi ral Warren, for want of a competent force, ‘to effect any thing last year this year circumstances are changed, and Britain has more force than she can employ, The plan submitted by the personage al U tided to, who is as firm in the cou ii.f’ cil as he is consummate in the field, is said to be as follows: The de tached corps in Upper Canada are merely intended to keep the enemy in effectual while sir James Yeo will maintain his point on Lake Ontario. The troops destined for the coast will act at points where most advantageous, in the province of Maine ; these will form the centre ; the army at Canada the right, & the .navy the left. combined plan cannot fail of having a propel ef fect, 2c has been wisely deferred until an adequate force can be brought to beaf* in all directions. Such are the rumors founded upon private advi ces, but their authenticity is not founded on any officialv source .1 here, are many reasons, however, which lead to believe that the new plan will be followed up. Ist, from the vigor and perseverance of this government when armed with suflu c;ent force. 2<J, that peace could not be conquered in the southern states. 3d, that the resistance <of the norths ern states to their adversaries* is a mere war Os frothy words having no meaning. And 4th for the purpose of obtaining peace* you must strike the enemy wpere he is strongest, his vitals are irk New England, touch him gently there, and you will soon discover whether he is sincere or., knavish. Indulgence will never bring any American into a state of rectitude. y \ CAPTAIN PORTER. The public mind, for some days past, has been fixed upon ourgallant countryman, captain Porter. His friends, and the friends of our coun try, arc anxious to know the parti culars of every act in which he has been the principle actor# Our ernr mies,in this city, are circulating a report, that thq reason of his leaving the Essex, Junior, 40 or SO miles front land in an open boat, was be cause his papers were forged; and on that account he w as afraid ofbeing .sent to Halifax. To suclvassertions we should offer an affront to taptam Porter to make any reply. When the British found they could not overtake him in his boat they went on boimlgthe Essex LunV broke open her bold—scuttled the bread and water casks—perforated with their swords arid bayonets the sacks of flour—overhauled and examined eve* ry v locker in the ship, and behaved with their wonted magnanimity so trulj characteristic of themselves fhey mustered all hands, examined the commissions and Warrants of the officers, and demanded the protec- ‘ lions of the men, who they examine ed separately; aliedged that 35 -of them were Englishmen ; but not be ing able to procure any of the crew .of the Saturn to swear to theiih, per* tnitedthqm to proceed, after making rise of much ill language* The following is a copy of the *y • rangements concluded between cant, iv, i*, in behalf of himself and crew; with ca'pt.

That the taief,captain Porter, his officers and crew, a list of which is subjoined, will remain as prisoners of war on parole, not to take arms against G. Britain ‘until regularly exchanged, and that he pledges his l honor to fulfil the foregoing condi tions. , I therefore request, that the said ship? the Esse* Junior, may be per-o rhitted to pass freely to the United . States without any impediment, and that the officers commanding the j ships of war ofiys B.

When an article copied from an English paper, announcing an admiralty order, to his majesty’s ships in” the South Sea, (for such .an order cduld be issued from no other source) directing them to respect no neutral port, in which the Essex should be found, was seen, it was believed to he only the frothy folly of sone ideot editor j or the unprincipled ebulli tion of some jacobin scoundrel, who wished, at a single blow, to prostrate a main pillar in the heatitifuf edifice of international lawy~ But the next mail brought us the melancholy intelligence, that the enemy is carryiuginto ef fect his new order, fn contempt of the imme morial usage and established law of civilised natrons. i/ The Phoebe Mid Cherub mnrivedoff Valpa- ’ raiso, and were permitted to approach the town as friends, 1* was so understood by all parries.

Had hi not vaihly imagin ed that lhe honor of the officers would tint vio late a known and fundamental principle, he could have run his ship on shore, fired her, and saved his , brave officii;* and men Destinv decreed otherwise, and PORTER has told a Btory, which will convey his name to the end of time. More than two hours at ’ a halfT the little Essex, at anchor, held at oay -tore 4han double her force, the enemy having an election of distances and positions, for both hk ships. The Phoebe assumed her positioa on the larboard quarter, and the Cherub her*s on the starboard bow of the Essex. From those ad* vantagebus positions, «• the tight’ little ship*’ compelled them both to retire to repair dam ages. The enemy then assumed nearly the same positions at long shbt ;• and of Cpnrse our Carronadcs would not tell.
