Reft Frozn the City Gr.zette. UPPER CANADA. By the latcjt accounts we have re cc oed, it appears that Gen. Hull, n't allive and experienced officer , has embodied an army c ato 5,000 ef fiSi ive men, completely armed and and fciplined, who wait only for orders to march and take pajfcjfion of Upper Canada. IVc prefume tens will he the firjl territorial blow that will he [track, again fl Great Britain, and from its deficiency i.i psint .ft military Jlrengib, it will fall an ecify prey to the activity and %'gilance of theU. States troops. Ft om the contiguity of fituation be tween Upper Canada and the country /• ooited by varLus tribes of fivages, j: ono the difpofitioK evidenced by the Britifh in furniflAng arms and ammu nition to theft remorjelefs wretches , And from the co-operation which las lately been ft; reded them in their late inhuman murders, it becomes an oh jell cf imperious nccejjity that the United Stales foould take immediate meafures to poffefs themfdves cf this portion of Briajh Colonies in North America. A flour t typographical defer ip: ion of Upper Canada will mi be conjidered ufelefs at the prefent crifis. Canada •was divided into Upper and Lower Provinces, by an aj of Parliament, in the 14 th year ef Geerge 111. Up per Cana&u is bounded to the ea ft ward by tie United States , in a line from the 45 th degree latitude, along the middle of the river Iroquois into Lake Ontario , and fo in various lines to Lakes E ie, Superior, Huron, Long \,ake, Lake of ive Woods, from the north-weft ern point cf which it takes a a well war and dire 11 ten to the river Mffiffippi. to thg wefward and to the northward, weft of the Miffiffippi, its bouxdanes hate been vaguely de fined. To the north ward it is bound ed by Hudfen's Bay the \<)tb parallel of north latitude , extending due weft indefinitely. Upper Canada is ccnfi dered the moft temperate climate as well as the moft fertile foil, belonging to the Brilfjb in that quarter. The rapid improvements in agriculture and the advancement of manufactures, are jutly attributed to the atlivity and enter prize of the American farmers j who, from grants of Crown Lands, have been induced to fettle in great numbers in that Province Indeed Upper Canada would be configured as a territory belonging to the U. States, from the hnmenje difference which ex ifts between the ir.duhy of its inhabi tants and tbofie from Lower Canada from their manna s, habits and ap pearance—and from the value of their farms and the luxurious appearance of their crops. Several Scotch fettle on ents are found there, vthofe farms are in a high ft ate of cultivation. — Upper Canada is divided into nineteen counties. Fork the feat of govern ment, is in about 43 degrees and 33 niiMU.ee of north latitude. It is hand fome/y laid out , and has an excellent harbor, which difebarges its waters from the Don and Humber into Lake Outvie, within 1 miles of the city. — Fork is furnijhed with commodious Block Houfes, Arjenal, BSc. which are principally built cn a peninfula called Gibraltar Point. Vejfels of all fixes may be built here. Several Britifb vrfils of war have already been finijb ea at this point, which navigate On tario. Kingston, di the beau of the Si. Lawrence, may be cotifidered as the next important town in Upper Canada. It is fituated in 44 degrees and eight minutes of north latitude, and in 75 degrees 44 minutes of weft longitude. It has a barracks for treeps, with feveral ftere and block houfes. The King’s fljips winter at this place, and like wife all the batteanx which navi gate the St. Lawrence and convey military fteres from Montreal. In 1804 the Briiifh had but three or four vejfels of war, carrying from 10 to 10 guns ; the number we believe is in creeled to ten, the command cf which h given to a Commodore, Ihe mili tary force and power of Upper Canada ers objects of the leafl attention .— Toff effing no important point or key to the province, the forts and olkr* ar mkments are fca'lered in various di rections ; and tons of them pojffts ,‘uf ficicnt ftrenglh and importance to hold out a gain ft a fuperitr and active force, fort Malden is the fir ft point of any ‘importance to which the activity and coin ago of the Americans will be di rected. Fort George and the fort at Niagara are in a like manner weak and inefficient . Tofubdue Upper Ca nada with little loft, will demand an effectual force, whole operations king directed to many points, will have to be prompt and deciftve to injure Juc cefs. All enterprises wherein the Subjugation of a country is contemplated fhculd be carried on with little or no delay, when once undertaken. Milt ta y operations if correctly planned, wiil generally prove faccsfsfil ; and from the Situation of Upper Canada, no dab / exijls falling immediately into our hands, ‘if the fora is of Sufficient magnitude and conduced by experi enced officers. It is effenCtally necef jary that Upper Canada font Id be the firJi cbjctl of attack, in order to exter minate, at ene bold, determined cud dec'five blow, the horde ft remorfelrfs favages and their inhuman abettors, whefe muff acres and barbarous mar decs have lacerated the feeling heart , and aroufed the vengeance of an injured country.

It appears from a letter which has been received by 1 federal gentle man in this city, per the fouthern maiT this morning, that On Friday cvenirg laft the fede ral members of congrcfs held a caucus j when after deep delibera tion, they made a formal communi cation to Mr. Filler, the Britilh ir.inifter. The purport of the difgrarefu! mrlngr is unprecedented by al) the former truckling? of federaiilm to England; it humbly rcqudb the Briiifh minifti.-i avc the Bniifti flßinifter, to come forward without delay, if he hss any means in his power, to avert the calamity of war ? That if he did not, they {houid be reduced to the ncccffiry of fup porting the government of the U. States—and that iv it was obliged to rciort to a war, they would be com pelled to affent to the meafure and give it their fupport. The minority, at the fame time declared, that there was no fuch thing as a Britifh party in Congrefs. To all which, Mr. Fofter was moft graciouflr pleafed to reply—That he Ihould think of what could be done for them immediately. And, in the ufual courteous ftvie of hy pocrify and intrigue, he was pleafed to give them an explanitory eluci dation of the prince regent’s de claration Cumment on the preceding is un neccffary. Indignation muff out ftrip all explanation. The feelirgs and the voice of the nation will in the event elicit an anfwer and a pu nifhmect for the degeneracy of the ?.£t, which will correfpcod with the magnitude of the infamy which nuift forever furround it. It is contrary to the ccnftitution—it is di/srace ful to the fpirit of cur laws—-it is unwarrantable as it is an afiumption of the presidential functions—it a rr.ounts to a ftrong fufpicion of treachery to the country, 2nd z breach of legiflative truft—& how ever they may affcf! a ‘denial cf partiality to England, it proves the exiftenre of a dangerous body cf men, who loft to every feeling of patriotifm, would facrifice the pub lic good to petty paltry psfßons and Britifh ioterefts.
