JAS M‘CORMIGK, Jun. Administrator. May 18—Taw Gw LAWS OF THE LAND ABE NOT LAWS CF THE OCEAN. The President states in his Message that a search for, or seizure of British fiersons or pirofierty on board neutral vessels on the high seas, is not a bellige rent right derived from the laws of na tions.” The general rule may be elucidated by three cuscs —The rule is, that no nation has a right to enforce her own laws upon the high seas; and that the only restrictions which she can impose upon neutral vessels in that situation, flow from the laws of war, as recognised by the laws of nations. The Isf CASE —The British have no right to search for their own fiersons on the high seas. It is one of the laws of their land, that every man, who is born on it, owve s. vuflsv^ the Chesapeak.:, ever Cie t vessels v.ci e standing the en iw.-ru J i every appearance, it was evidiK m- t the loss of the Chesapeake w s ows unfortunate explosion that took plact 1 of her.

The carrier of the Western Mail, Mr. Goodwin, just arrived, has oblig ingly handed the editor a handbill, printed at Batavia, 7 o’clock last even ing—which states, on the authority of gentlemen from fort Niagara, the fol lowing highly interesting intelligence “About sunrise, yesterday morning, our troops, commanded by gen. Dear born, embarked in boats, under the im mediate command of gen. Lewis, and landed, under cover of the cannon of com. Chauncey’s squadron,on the oppo site shore about two miles west of New- ark they were met on the margin of the Lake by all the enemy’s force at that post, a brisk engagement ensued which lasted about 30 minutes, when the Bri tish retreated in great disorder, being pursued by our troops in every direc tion—they immediately blew up their magazines in Fort George and evacua ted Lhe works, leaving the British co lors flying, which were soon supplanted by the American standard. Every bat tery below the heights of Queenstown, was silenced, and our light dragoons and light artillery crossed at the five mile meadows about noon. When out informunts left Niagara (5 o’clock P, M.) all was silent except the pursuing of straggling parties up the river to wards Fort Erie some prisoners had been brought over. Our loss is not known, but report states that we hud only 12 men killed and one officer (ma joi King) wounded. By a gentleman from Buffalo, we learn that early this morning the British □lew up their batteries opposite Biack Rock and fled to Fort Erie.’* A letter from Buffalo (received in the mail) to the editor of the Reposito ry, states the number of men under ma- jor gen. Lewis, to be 4000. Two Bri tish vessels had appeared on Lake, Erie^ 10 miles from Buffalo.
