NORTH CAROLINA. MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR. To the Honorable the General Assembly of Nor th-Carolina. Gentlemen, I should do injustice to my feelings were I to forbear expressing the high gratification J feel in beholding the General Assembly of this State convened at a period so important as the present, when, engaged as we are in war, the si tuation of our country renders it necessary that Romany various measures connected with its se curity, prosperity and high standing, should re ceive their mature and deliberate attention. That the measures adopted by you will be com mensurate with the exigencies of our situation, a sure guarantee is to be found in the circum stance of your having been selected as Repre sentatives by our enlightened fellow-citizens, at a time when they were fully aware of the im portance of the trust about to be delegated. It would have afforded me the highest satisfaction to have had it in my power, at the opening of the present session, to congratulate you upon the restoration of peace. As we were compell ed, by a long series of unexampled aggressions, to resort to arms, its return must be hailed with heartfelt satisfaction by every American, if ob tained upon terms compatible with the honor, welfare and security of our country. When it is recollected that our Government, from a firm attachment to peace (the true policy of our country) had forborn beyond justification to oppose G. Britain in her unjust and arrogant pretensions, by an appeal to arms, the strongest grounds are afforded for the presumption, that, consulting the same pacific policy, it must look forward with anxious solicitude to that hap^y period when the war may be terminated with honor and safety. If this presumptive evidence should be rejected, facts might be adduced as conclusive proof of the disposition of our gov ernment in relation to that object. It is unne cessary to enumerate them. Suffice it to men tion tlic Russian mediation. The promptitude with which it was accepted and acted upon by the Pn sident, is, of itself, incontrovertible cvi denc- of the wish of our government, that an ac •ommodaifpn should take place. As, then, the people and the government arc in favor of peace, the continuance of the war must depend upon the disposition of the British cabinet. If they will guarantee repara ion for past injuries, and respect for our rights as a sovereign and in dependent nation in future, the objects of the war will lie accomplished, and peace will be. re stored. But until they, agree to r dinquish what they assumed as a right before the declaration of war, the privilege of committing the most in solent and vexatious outrages upon the rights and liberties of our citizens, we shall be under the indispensable necessity of prosecuting the war. By prosecuting the war with firmness, unanimity and vigor, our obj cts will be accom plished. The intolerable and inadmissible pre tensions of G li must finally yield to her neces sities. Eminently dependent as the manufac turing and commercial interests of that nation JiaVe been on the trade with the U. S —their ac knowledged decline since that trade has been cut oif, and, indeed, the fatal eilects of the present •war upon almost every' thing connected with her welfare and prosperity, are circumstances which, combined with cur united and vigorous perseverance, will eventually compel her haugh ty ministry to recede from their arrogant pre tensions, and to conclude peace upon fair and honorable terms. But if we weaken ourselves by cherishing internal divisions if we exhibit ourselves to the enemy as a nation composed of two hostile parties, each endeavoring to de stroy the other, we shall pltce that object at a distance from us. G. B. presuming upon our weakness, thus produced, will not only be more obstinate, but encouraged to indulge her ambi tioQ and arrogance. Is there an instance re corded where British rapacity has yielded to the supplications of the ■weak? We cannot expect that that nation whose government is so hostile to ours, will ever grant us peace as a boon. Every American citizen, therefore, who is anxious that it should be restored, will deem it his im perative duty to give his support to the vigor ous prosecution of the war, as the only ctfec tual mean of obtaining it The opinion enter tained in relation to, aud the feelings produced by the long agitated question as to the policy of the declaration of war, must now jield to considerations ail-important to the restoration of peace,-end to the preservation of our nation al reputation." The question now is, shall we, by weakening ourselves, by cherishing party animosities, which cannot fail to produce that effect, invite the enemy to an obstinate perseve rance—or, shall we, by abandoning all party animosities, and giving our united support to our country’s cause, compel them to do us jus tice and to give us peace 1 Then, to you, gen tlemen, whom our fellow-citizens have selected for your wisdom and prudence, to devise and adopt such measures as may be necessary to the preservation and promotion of their best interests, and to whom they will naturally look for examples of magnanimity, let me in the most earnest manner urge the propriety, nay, the indispensable necessity of sacrificing, at this important period, all party feelings, ani mosities, prejudices and distinctions, upon the altar of our country—Bc of giving your prompt aad united-support to every measure which may sesm calculated to strengthen invigorate the arm of the nation, as the surest means of bring ing the war to an honorable conclusion. Having ever entertained the opinion that there were no grounds fur the presumption that this state would be exempt from the incursions of the enemy, and believing, after the wanton de struction of some small towns to. the north, that in the event of an attack, either byjircdatory parties or armaments frop the British squad jon on tl^ coast upon either of our towns, a similar late would await them, deemed it my duty to remind the general government of their oefcncUcss and unprotected situation and for that purpose 1 made a communication to the Secretary fur tire Department of War, early in May last. In ti»c same month I received an answer from him, wherein he stated that some general measures for the defence of the sea- board would in a few days be submitted to the national legislature, and that in this arrange ment the most vulnerable points of North 1 Ca rolina would be considered. Supposing it pio bable, that before ■Congress would-have gone through the. discussion of, and adopted this general plan of defence, the injuries appre hended might be committed by the cue y and, moreover, (knowing that the U. S. had gun boats out of commission in our waters, and men at their command in rids state sufficient for the occasion,! .thought proper t address a letter to our Senators in Congress jointly, which, to gether with the papers accompanying it, pre sented to them a view,.almost in detail, of the defenceless situation or cur seaport-tewns, re questing them to asecratin Horn the President whether some measures would not promptly bv adopted for their protection. One ui those gentlemen informed me that the Secretary of the Navy had promised to put-five gun-boats in commission on our coast immediately ti at the Secretary at War had promised to order into service four companies of die militia that up. cn the representation of the inability of the state to furnish anunmunition, &c. ha signified that it should be furnished by pie U. S. M hue M -was in the daily expectation of .ixcch mg tomKUffiicaticn from the General Government upon this subject, the state was invaded. In form tion of that event reached me on the 17th of July by the mail, awd by' express from New bern- From communications received from the Committee of Safety of that town, Major Gen. Croom and Col. Tisdale, I learned ihat the British had taken possession of Ocracock and Portsmouth, bad landed and pitched tents for seven hundred men; that their force consisted of one 74, six frigates, 2 privateers, 2 schooners, a number of other smaller vessels, and from 60 to 70 barges, with a disposable force of two thousand five hundred infantry and marines all under the command of Admiral Cockburn that they had captured the shipping in the har bor, among which were two private armed vessels; that it was thought the circumstance of their having landed and pitched tents for so large u force as 700 men, indicated an inten tion of remaining there some time; and that an attack upon Newbern was expected as an event that would certainly take place. That place was represented as being without caution, pow der and balls, and in short nearly every article and implement oi war essential to its safety and protection and I was requested in the most pressing manner to furnish them that aid which their situation demanded. 1 had reason to be lieve that all our towns on the Pamptico and Albermarle Sounds, and those to the south, were nearly in the same situation. As the state was destitute of munitions of war, and had but a scanty supply of muskets and bayonets, the greater part of which had been so distributed (not having been placed in the hands of the de tached militia in many instances) as to render it it very questionable whether a useful portion of them could sei suitably be collected at any given point, I felt my self not a little at a loss to as certain that course best to be pursued under ex isting circumstances. b i be Governor here communicates a narra tive of his expedition to the seaboard, the measures adopted to repel' the invaders, &c. circumstances which have already' been detail ed in this paper.J Conscious of the indispensable necesssity which existed, that rm-adequate defence of a permanent nature should be extended to our seaboard before I left it, I visited all the inlets through which vessels of any burden pass, with a view to place it in my power, from actual observation, to form and recommend to the general Government some plan for their protection and defence. Those points are Ocracock, Old Topsail and Bogue inlets, to the north of Cape Fear, and the inlets at the mouth ofCape Fear, to wit, Mam and J\en> I dets. At Ocracock, on Beacon' Island, there is an eligible and commanding scite for a fort. Vessels sailing into the Sound, must approach this scite almost in a direct line for more than a mile, and must pass within a tew hundred yards of it. If a strong fortification was erected on it, and an adequate force stationed in it, not only the entrance of any number of vessels in to the sound could be effectually prevented, but the shipping at anchor in the harbour could be protected. Such a work, the expence of which would be nothing when compared with its immense utility, aided by a few gun boats, or other armed vessels stationed at proper points in the Sounds, would afford great pro tection and security to almost the whole of the northern section of the State. Should the war be of long duration, we may' reasonably sup pose that the enemy will, if this inlet is unpro tected, bring into our sounds a number of small vessels, with a view to harrass our towns, to arrest the trade now carrying on through those waters, andanore especially, for the purpose of plundering from their abundant shores the ne cessary supplies for the support of their fleet stationed on the coast. —A few small armed ves sels permanently stationed in those Sounds, would ba adequate for those purposes. Should the probability of a visit of this nature be deemed as Being very remote, it is to be pre sumed that a principle of economy alone would dictate the propriety of defending this point, as thereby the necessity of calling out troops, which must be attended with considerable in convenience and expence, to defend Newbern, Washington, and all the other towns on the navigable waters of those Sounds, whenever the enemy may appear off that inlet and threaten an attack, Would be obviated. That some ade quate measures should be immediately adopt ed for defence at that point, I conceive to be important in every point of view. At Old Tapsail inlet, Fort Hampton is situat ed, for the defence of the town and harbor of Beaufort, and on an eligible scite'to command the entrance up the ship channel. This Fort however, Is nothing more than a parapet com posed of shells and lime badly cemented, each end of which is connected with the barracks, in the rear, by a wall about two feet thick. There are only six lopg eighteens mounted on a plat form at the parapet to fire en barbette —Those guns were mounted on very low carriages, and in order that they might fire over the parapet, the platform bad been raised within two feet of its top: consequently the men when manag ing them were exposed from about their knees up. 1 heir situation would have been much more dangerous in an action than if they had been in an open plain, as much destruction might have been produced by the shells which the enemy’s fire might scale from the top of the parapet. Conceiving that no time should be lost in making the necessary alterations, I instructed Captain Pasteur to have the carriages of the guns raised and the platform lowered, in such manner as that but few of the men in an engagement could be exposed. This place, with :-m inconsiderable sum cam pared with that already expended upon it, might be made a strong fuvutication. In its present situation it might be easily reduced. A number of men not much larger than that stationed in the fort, by landing below out of the reach of the guns of the parapet, might march round, attack and carry it in the rear without much difficulty. Barges can pass up to the town without going in reach of the guns of the Port. If, however, they leave the ship channel to avoid those guns, they are under the necessity on account of shoals to pass for a considerable distance with in musket shot of Shackleford’s banks. Some works should be erected on those banks to pre vent the passage of Barges. The town and harbor of Swansborough, si tuated above Bogue Inlet, are entirely unpro tected, and owing to their peculiar situation, their defence would be attended with very in considerable expence. The scite on winch Fort Johnston, (the de f&ice at Main Inlet) .is situated, is within musket shot of the ship channel above the main bar, Act the fort .is more defective than Fort Hampton. It is nothing more than a bat tery on wfiich cannon are mounted entirely ex posed, with barracks and a blockhouse, inclo sed with plank. It, however, at no very great expence, might b fortified so its to make it a strong wo; k, and capable of preventing the pas sage of vessels up the ship channel to Wilm ington but barges could pass un beyond tire reach of its guns. It is most adviseable to per mit this Fort to remain in its present situation, and immediately to erect a,strong fortification on the pointef Oak Island, about two miles be low it, which would not only completely com mand the ship .channel and the lower harbor, but could also operate successfully upon barges should they attempt to pass up. I should have suggested this to the General Government, but that they would not, as they have from timi to time expended, although useless’ ly, such large sums of money upon Fort John ston, now abandon it and build another in its nighborhood, I recommended an improvement of the Fort and suggested an increase of gun boats. J\ev> Inlet is about eight miles above this F rt, across the bay' and river.—Through this Inlet a private armed vessel of sixteen guns passed and sailed up to Wilmington in the night undiscovered. Here there is no defence of a permanent nature A fortification at this place (on Federal Point) with but few guns, could, owing to the narrowness and peculiar situation of the channel, prevent the passage of any number of armed vessels or barges through it into the Cape Fear. It will be in vain to at tempt to protect Wilmington unless there is some permanent defence at this point. A strong fortification should, therefore, as soon as practicable, be erected on it, and an adequate force stationed in it. Having gone through the enquiry into the si tuation arid the measures necessary tw be adop ted for the protection of the seaboard, I raturn ed to the seat of government, and on the 20th of August made a communication to the Sec’y of the War Department, stating my impression in relation thereto, substantially as they are delineated in this address and moreover, ask ing to be informed whether it was the intention of the General-Government to pay the -whole of the militia who were called out when the in vasion took place the various expenses neces sarily attending their march to the points ex pected to be attacked, and for the ammunition which had been purchased on that occasion by persons acting under my directions. In the fol- Jowing month I received three letters touching this subject; one from the War Office acknow ledging (he receipt of my communication, stat ing that extracts from it bad been transmitted to Gen. Pinckney, and referring me to him for such further advi.ee and arrangements as might become necessary.” Another from Gen. Pinckney wherein he expressed a wish that 1 might succeed in my application (of which he had been informed by me) to have something done for the security of Foit Johnston and Fort Hampton and the third from the Deputy Quarter Master at Norfolk, who in the month of July, as I had been informed by the Sec’y at War, had been instructed to forward to me at tins place a supply Of powder and lead, stat ing tlikt he was mstrucled to report to me that ?tv supplies of powder and lead could be furnished from that post. Perceiving that the extracts from my com munication had "been.- transmitted to an officer whose authority did not extend even to im provement of; forts, and finding that the pros pect of obtaining the expected supply of pow der and'lead had ceased, 1 wrote a second let ter to the Sec’y of War, inviting his attention again to that of the 20ih of August, and remind ing him of the instructions that had been given to the Quarter-master at Norfolk To this let ter I received an answer on the Bth of this month, wherein I am referred for supplies to a Deputy Commissary of Purchases at Norfolk informed that an extract relative to fortifica tions had been transmitted to the Sec’y of War, and that the expenses incurred by the militia of this State, which had been called into ser vice by the General Government, would be defrayed conformably to the laws and regula tions for the government of the public agents. These regulations require that the militia drafts when called into service shall be organ ised into companies consisting of five commis sioned officers, eleven non-commissioned offi ce’s, and one hundred privates, and that they shall be inspected by some officer of the army of the U. States, thereto specially appointed, upon whose roils and reports they will be en titled to pay, &c. When the militia were called out this.regulation could not be complied with, because the officers thus appointed to inspect them had not been furnished by the U. States. Indeed there were but very fe-w officers of the U. Rates’ army on the seacosst. It is there fore presumable that in this particular instance the above regulation will not be strictly ad hered to by the General Government,, when the facts are understood. The General Govern ment doubtless will pay the militia drafts. Your attention is invited to the propriety of making some provision for the purpose of pay ing the local militia, and of liquidating the claims of individuals who furnished baggage waggons, supplies of provisions or other ne cessaries forlhose troops when the State was invaded. You are now informed of the whole defence extended to our maritime frontier, to wit: five gunboats, five companies of militia drafts, and a company of regulars. You are also inform ed of the result of my enquiries as to the pro tection and defence that should be afforded to our seacoast. You are further informed that we are destitute of powder, lead and flints, and I will here add, munitions of war of every de scription, except the small supply purchased by my directions, and by Joseph H. Bryan, Esq. Quarter-master-guieral of the detached militia. Whether the General Government will furnish every supply necessary in a state of war, aud will place our seaboard in a proper state of de fence," it is not for me to say. ^re we better prepared now to repel the enemy than we were when the war was declared? Will it yet be Contended that we arc protected by nature Preparations for defence have been protracted to a period beyond which we must look with the greatest anxiety for events deeply affecting the welfare and safety of a large portion of our fellow citizens on the seaboard. We may ere long expect an attack. In proportion as the number of other valuable points to which ef fectual protection is extended increases, in that ratio, will the probability of a visit to our towns so long as we remain in our present de fenceless situation, be also increased. And should we not guard against attacks which it would not be unreasonable to suppose will be made by the Indians on our frontier counties To you, gentlemen, the attention of ail those exposed to danger will doubtless be directed with the utmost solicitude. Will you hesitate to draw an adequate portion of our own re sources into action to mitigate the evils of war to our own citizens,” and to rescue the State from her present humiliating situa tion? Of the many momentous objects to which yobr attention will be directed, that of a revi sion of the Laws for the government of the mi litia, will be found to be not the least import ant. The provisions of those laws are too de fective to produce that discipline and subordi nation in the militia, which it is essential should at all times be kept up, but mure especially in times of war, as without them an army cannot be efficient. Although the men who were call ed out upon the late exigency, obeyed with a promptitude and cheerfulness not to be sur passed, and for which they merited all the commendations that have been bestowed upon them, yet instances-may hereafter occur to call for the interposition of some more positive re gulations to enforce obedience than now exist. Upon an examination of those Laws, gentlemen, you will find it necessary to impose some effi cient penalty upoa those who may disobey or ders, desert or refuse to do duly, when called out under the State authority, in.the service of the State. A better organization of the general staff is indispensably necessary. Should a por tion of the lesourees of the S Ute be appromi- a ted fir its defence, those officers cannoli dispensed with. i i corformity to an arrangement made be tween his excellency the Governor of Swuth- Carolina, and myself, the commissioners on boundary on the part of this state, Gen. John Steele, Major General Montfort Stokes, and Col. Robert Burton, and the commissioners on the part of that state, met on the 20th cl July last, at the termination of the line or 1772, for the purpose of commencing their o perations in: ascertaining and marking the boundary line agreeable to the articles of the conventional agreement entered into between the two states. Our commissioners, after this unpleasant business had been acted on, transmitted t® me their report, .accompanied by sundry documents. The result of a series of observations made by the able astronomer whs accompanied them, the Revd. Jos. Caldwell, and the artist on the part of South Carolina, produced a dilference of opinion among the commissioners as to the practicability of exten ding the line from the termination of the line of 1772, according to the intent and meaning of the 3d article of the conventional a greement. This difference terminated in a pro visional article of agreement as a substitute-for that article which I now lay before you for your ratification. A map of the line as contemplated in this agreement taken from actual survey by Dr C. is also laid before you together with a map of the line in the vicinity of the Catawba lands, which was run marked according to the conventional agreement. It is with the ut most satisfaction I contemplate the approach ing just and amicable conclusion of this long pending territorial dispute between the two states. 1 have the honor to be, &.c. WILLIAM HAWKINS. Raleigh, Nov. 7, 1813. [Some paragraphs relating to local matters, are omitted in the conclusion ®f the message.j THE SENATOR, BY RBRNRZER H. CUMMINS, r ILL contain a full, impartial and minute vV report of the proceedings of the SE- NATE; a Journal of the House of Represen tatives; Public Documents, authentic; Speeches of Senators and Representatives, select; Com munications of Governors of the different States to their respective Legislative bodies; Laws of the United States; Proclamations, Orders, De crees and Manifestos of Foreign Governments, interesting to the People of the United States; Forensic Elocution, foreign and domestic; Bio graphy Eulogium Essays, moral, political, statistical; Army and Navy Register Exploits of American Heroes; Treaties with Foreign Nations; Commercial Intelligence; together with such remarks as shall be incident to the design of the work. The Editor reserves to himself the privilege of occasionally publish ing such reflections upon public events, public measures, and public men, as shall be warrant ed by authentic facts, and shall be consistent with decorum and the rights of an impartial American Freeman. The whole will comprize a valuable political Calender, for officers, civil and military, professional gentlemen and citi zens. The design of this establishment is in a spe cial manner to preserve and perpetuate the pro ceedings of the Senate. It has been observed, with no little surprize, that the Senate of the United States, ever since the commencement of the Government, has comparatively excited lit tle attention. The House of Representatives’, heretofore, has engrossed the public sympathy public notice therefore journalists and re porters for newspapers have taken care to pro fit by the preference. They have watched the movements and actions of that body with the greatest assiduity and accuracy. The Editor of the Journal now proposed to be published, has ever believed the Senate to be in no degree and by no comparison less important as a branch of the Federal Government, than the House of Representatives; and he is per suaded that its proceedings will afford enough to interest the people of the United States. The late sessions of that body have been of a nature, and character, and consequence, highly important and deeply interesting to the feel ings of the American nation. And it is certain that in proportion as our foreign relations be come more and more intricate by commercial collision or otherwise, its deliberations, its de cisions, its patriotism, its wisdom, its fidelity, or its errors, whether of human frailty, ambi tion or political depravity will have a great and serious influence upon the future happiness and general prosperity of this great and grow ing Commonwealth. Hence it is believed that the establishment of a JOURNAL to col lect and enroll for the purpose of dissemina tion, the proceedings of the Senate, is indis pensable, and that the utility and public con venience of such an institution were never more apparent than at the present moment. The Editor having obtained the necessary permission to report the proceedings of the Se nate, and having procured all suitable arrange ments to facilitate his plan, will be prepared to issue the first number of THE SENATOR* during the first week of the next session of Congress. The Editor has to express his surprise that an institution similar to the one proposed has never before been established. Indeed it would seem that such an one ought to have been co eval with the existence and continuance of our government. All the abilities of the Editor, and his assiduous exertions, shall be unremit tingly taxed to ensure the prosperity of this work, and he only solicits of the public a correspondent patronage. To the American statesman, American husbandman, and Ameri can mechanic, it will be the cheapest library in the world. TERMS AND CONDITIONS* I.

We have published it as received, but re quest our readers to receive it with some grains of allowance. The report ed return of the army to winter quarters may be, as suggested in the Aurora, only a ruse-de-guerre, We confess however, that the news appears to us to be too circumstantial to be entirely dis credited. If true in all its parts, thers is an enigma in the result of the cam paign which the official accounts onlj can solve. We wait impatiently fol more authentic information. GOVERNOR CHITTENDEN, It appears that the person appointed by Governor Chittenden to bring bach the militia of Vermont from the fron tier of New York, and from under the control of the authority of j£he United States, has been arrested on his mis chievous, we had almost said treacher ous errand, and held to answer for his conduct. Every friend to his country. Republican or Federal, must rejoice to hear of this early abolition of an insur gent project. For our part, we cannot help thinking it would have been as well if the Governor himself,- in stead of his cats-paw, had thus made himself amenable to the penal conse quenees of his unconstitutional procla mation, by attempting to carry it into execution. We have had the honor of a slight acquaintance with Mr. Chitten den, while in Congress, and we realiv think he would have been one of the last men in the federal party to commit himself by so unwarrantable a proceed ing. We can only account for his conduct, considering him as the head of a violent party in his state, by applying to him the old and almost unchristian aphorism, that whom God wishes to destrsy, he first drives mad** A REPORT Of an unpleasant nature, we are sor« ry to say, has reached this city from the upper end of Lake Ontario. It is to this effect, as nearly as we can ascer tain—not having seen the letters com municating it. The Ontario fleet sailed from Niagara, having on board General Harrison and his Army, with an inten tion to proceed down the Lake. After they had proceeded but a few miles, a violent storm arose, which dispersed the fleet; most of the vessels returned into the river, after much difficulty, but several had not since been heard of, amongst which is the General Pike—. and it is much feared they may have been lost on the Lake or run ashore at such a distance from the place of de parture as not yet to be discovered by those on the look out for them. A few days must bring a confirmation or con tradiction of this disagreeable news. FRO M THE S. W. FRONTIER. editors’ correspondence. Nashville, Nov. 12, 1813. Inclosed is a handbill containing the latest news from the Expedition. We have thirty-three prisoners, con sisting of men, women and children, In our jail; but not committed to so litary confinement. They are well trea ted in a large room, and the use of a yard when the weather will permit. Notwithstanding the humane conduct of the Bulwark of our holy religion,’* and that of their tawny allies as re cently witnessed at Fort Mims, where neither age nor sex were spared, the citizens of Nashville have manifested a disposition peculiar to freemen and philanthropists. Instead of upbraiding them with the horrid butcheries on our frontiers, they have taken them home (by special permission of the jailor) and clothed them the ladies in parti cular seem to vie with each other In dressing the squaws and children, and they in their turn shew every mark of gratitude, and desire to live with us, and say they dp not wish to return.

With much anxiety wc lo®k for the express. If Gen. Jackson should have a general engagement be fore receiving the aid of the East Ten nessee troops, it is feared he may b© out numbered and have hard fighting.

FROM THE NORTHERN ARMY. From the Boston Chronicle. By Maj. Snelling, who arrived in town last ni^ht direct from the army, we have been politely favored with the following interesting particu lars. Col. Atkinson informed Major. Snel ling that an action of a partial nature took place on the the 11th of Nov. in which about 1500 Americans of the 9th, 1i th and 21 st regts, under Gen. Boyd, were engaged. They three times rout ed the enemy with the bayonet. Col. Atkinson left Wilkinson on the 13th. The enemy retired to a strong position about three quarters of a mile in (he tear, from which the Americans did not attempt to dislodge them, but re turned to the battle ground, where they slept that night. One of their pieces of artillery being dismounted by a cannon shot, when they resumed the line of inarch they were compelled to leave it, and the British taking, possession of it, from that circumstance claimed the victory. A'number of prisoners were taken by the Americans. Gen. Covington was mortally wounded. Lt. Smith of the ar tillery was killed. Gen. W. has been confined to his tent by sickness for some time past.—■ The roads were bad in the extreme The Northern army under General Hampton has gone to winter quarters at Plattsburg. The cavalry at Burling toa. Gen. Wilkinson was at St. Regis. At Montpelier Maj. Snelling saw the cailing-master of the Growler, who maue his escape from Beaufort, near Quebec on the 10th. He informed, that all the American officers on parole at that place (the three generals excepted) were put in close confinement by or der of Sir George Prevost to be de tained for the security of the twenty three British hostages. Burlington, November 19. General Hampton’s army is at Platts burg, where they are to take up winter quarters. Gen. Wilkinson’s army is at toe French Mills, near St, Regis, about 25 miles from the four corners, Chateau gay, and are building huts for winter quarters. The army under General Wilkinson has had a severe engage ment with the enemy, which followed them from Kingston and Prescot; they were attacked in the rear, in or near Cornwall. The epemy were three times repulsed at the point of the bayonet, and finally retreated leaving the Ameri cans on the field. The number killed oa either side is not correctly ascertain ed, [reported to be 600 British and 400 Americans It must however have Bien great, as in one instance, it is said the charge was contended from twelve to fourteen minutes. Brig. Gen. Jacob Davis, who was charged with the Proclamation of the Governor of Vermont, immediately re paired to the army for the purpose of executing his orders. We learn that, after making his errand known, he was arrested and taken as a prisoner to Plattsburgh. In addition t^he above,wc have seen a letter from Albany, fully corroborat sng thloo, and from the salubrity of the situation, not to be exceed ed (perhaps) in the States they hope that parents and guardians may be induced to give a preference to this infant institution.

The trustees of Newbern Academy are de sirous to engage a fit person as Principal of that institution. The inducements which the situation presents are not undeserving of the notice of gentlemen, perfectly qualified for the undertaking, and disposed to pursue it as a p&manent employment. The funds of thy aca demy are certain, arising from landed property, and enable the trustees to offer to the principal teacher a fixed salary of one thousand dollars. Competent assistants will be procured to di minish his labors. There is no town on tbe southern sea-board more healthy than Newbern. There are certainly none in which the means of subsistence are more cheap or abundant, and but few that contain a society better suit ed to the habits of a literary man or o( a decent family. It may not be amiss to state, also, there is a vacancy in rhe office of clergyman, as well in the Episcopal as in the Presbyterian congregation of the town. A respectable mi nister of the gospel of either of those denomi nations, might not only superintend the acade my, but as pastor of the churph would no doubt receive an i.dditional and handsome compensa tion from the members of his religious society.

Messrs. Michael Lee, id Co. I was attacked with a most violent cold a a severe cough and pa n in the breast, which continued to grow worse—during which my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much that it was with the utmost exertion I coultM pronounce a single sentence louder than my’ breath. Some of my friends haying observed! to me that much good had been done by the use of Lee’s Elixir, advised me to procure 8, bottle from Messrs. Warner and Hanna, which I accordingly did—and to those persons, un acquainted with the merits of this medicine B it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and. the use of one buttle only restored me to per fect health J. a. SMITH, Market Street, F. Points Lee’s Logenges. The medicine, which is as innocent ami mild as it is certain and efficacious in its opera tion, cannot injure the youngest infant should, no worms exist in the body. Messrs. Michael Lee Co. Observing that my son, six years of age B was troubled with difficulty in breathing [something frequently rising in his throat} restlessness at night, loss of flesh, &c. from these symptoms I was confident he had. worms; and having procured a box of Lee's Worm-destroying Logenges, the first dose ex pelled 23 large worms which afforded him im mediate relief. He now enjoys a good state of healte,and I believe I can from experience say that Lee’s Lozenges are the most efficacious, remedy for worms now in use. THOMAS PETERS, Of the late firm of Peters and Johns^’ Baltimore, July 1,1810. Lee’s infallible Fever and Ague Drofs^ Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine had proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle. Messrs. Michael Lee Co. I think it a duty incumbent on me (for the benefit of my fellow beings) to make known to you the wonderful cure performed by your truly infallible Agye and Fever drops. My little son has been layering under the ague and fever for several monthgreat many remedies were tried without the least effect, and the child fast declining, having almost entirely lost his appetite. I was advised to try Lee’S Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. I pro cured a bottle and gave it attentively as di rected, and to my astonishment, the third day the ague and fever entirely left him, and he soon perfectly recovered his health; Ido therefore confidently recommend them to all persons laboring under that distressing disease to be a perfect cure.
