We are still left in anxious sus
pense, in regard to our northern
fleet and armies. Our latest dates
from Ontario leave it doubtful whe
ther the British fleet had sailed from
Kingston or whether their large ship
was ready for sea. Izard and Brown
appear to have formed a junction St
it is thought they would pursue ami
attack Drummond fortifying at Chip
pewa and Queenstown.—The British
are said to be in considerable force
at Kingston, 20.000. Ans attack on
Sackett's Harbor is daily expected,
and is rather wished for than feared,
by the Americans, as from the great
strength of fortifications they calcu
late on being able to repulse their
assailants.)

Capt. Renshaw, late commander

ved m this city on Sunday last, from

Halifax in a cartel, anu arrived at
Newport on Friday last; He informs
that the U. S. sloop of-war Peacock
had an engagement with the English
sloop of war Columbine, in the Irish
Channel, which terminated, after a
very short engagement, in the sink
ing of, the enemy’s vessel ; and so
suddenly, that not a man from the
Columbine tduld be saved-*-He futv

first favorable opportunity for America, to
take the command of the British army; and
he had no doubt with the means already there,

were promised by his prince, he should hum

Letters from a source of the very first res

—that the soldiery, consisting of 250,000
men, when on parade by 10 or 20,000 at a
time, and called on to cry “ Long live the
King,” unanimously exclaim, “ Long live tha
Emperor V* , If this be true, and it does not
admit of a doubt, *• the long agony” is not
quite “ over,” Governeur Morris’s assertion to
the contrary notwithstanding. , The letters
