and secondly, the contemptuous light in which the French officers consider their friends the Americans :\u2014*¢ The Arianne, | of 44 guns and 380 men, was commanded by Commodore FexTiex, a Member of the Legion of \u2018Honour, an experienced officer; the other officers were young, and ignorant of their profession.The crews of both frigates were a complete medley of French, Dutch, and men from every part of Europe under the French yoke; the greater part of them new conscripts; the Commodore's ship had not more, than thirty or forty good seamen on board, The Ariaone had seldom less than thirty in hersick list; about twelve died of a malignant \u2018fever ; the people were short of clothing, very dirty, swarming with vermin, and infected with the itch.From the miserable manner in which they were manned their general dislike to the service, and the continual dread they betrayed of falling in with a British force, it is thought a very inferior squadron would have captured them with little difficulty.The English Masters and their pamengers were treated in the kifdest manner, lived and messed in the ward-room with the Licutenants, and had every indulgence and respect shewn to them ; whereas all the American Masters were treated with marked contempt ; were sent to mess with the boatswain and petty officers, and very few of them were allowed to shew themselves on the quarter-deck.\u2018The ships destroyed by this squadron were, 10\u2019 English, 13 Americans, 3 Portuguese, and a Spanish packet\u2014 in the whole; 27; those of the English not valuable, being all outward bound.\u201d : : hE WASHINGTON, Jury 23.4 \u2014 ._- BY WILLIAM HULL, Brig.General and Commander-in-Chicf of the North-Western Army of the United States.PROCLAMATION.Inhabitants of Canada / Afterthirty years of peace and prosperity, the United States have been driven to arms.The injuries and aggressions, the insults and indignities of Great Britain, have once more left them no alternative but manly resistance or unconditional submission.The army under my command Aas invaded your coun | try, and the standard: of Union now waves over the territory of Canada.To the peaceable, unoffending inhabitant, it brings neither danger nor difficulty.I come to find enemies, not to make them.I comieto protect, not to injure you.Scparated by an immense ocean and an extensive wilderness from Great Britain, you have no participation in her councils, no interest in heé¥ conduct\u2014you have felt her tyranny, you have seen her injustice ; but J donot ask you to avenge the one, or \u2018redress the other.\u2018The United States are sufficiently powerful to afford you every security consisteiit with their rights and .your expectations.1 tender you the invalugble blessings of civil, political and religious liberty, and their necessary result, individual and general prosperity\u2014that liberty which gave decision to our councils and energy to our conduct, in a struggle for independence, and which conducted us safely and tri umphantly through the stormy periad of the revolution\u2014that liberty which has raised us to an elevated rank among the pa- tions of the world, and which has afforded us a greater measure \u201cpf peace and security, of wealth and improvement, than ever fell to the lot of any country.In the name of my country, and by the authority of govern- nent, | promise you protection to your persons, property and rights.\u201d Remain at your homes ; pursue your peaceful and cué- «tomary avocations ; raise not your hands against your brethren.Many of your fathers fought for the freedom and independence we now enjoy.Being children, therefore, of the same family with us, and heirs to the same heritage, the arrival of an army of friends, must be hailed by yon with a cordial welcome.You will be emancipated from tyranny and oppression, and restored to the dignified station of freemen.Had 1 any doubt of eventual succeds, 1 might ask your assistance, but 1doñot.1 tome prepared for every: contingency\u2014I have a force which will look down all opposition, and that force is but the vanguard of a much greater.If contrary to your own interests \u201c and the just ekpectations of my country, you should take part in the approaching contest, you will be considered and treated us enemies, and the horrors and calamities of war will stalk before you.If the barbarous ind savage policy of Great.Britain be pursued, \u2018and the savages let loose to murdes our ci- .tizens and Dutcher our women and children, this war will \u2018bea war of extermination.The first stroke of the tomahawk, the indiscriminate scene of desolation! No white man found fighting by the side of an Indian, will be taken prisoner ; instant dis- ¢rvetion will be his Jot.M the dictates of reason, duty, justice and bumanity, cannot prevent the employinent of à force which respects no right, and knowsno wrong, it will be prevented by a severe and relentless.system of retaliation, 1 doubt not your courage and firmness\u20141 will [not] doubt your attachment to'liberty, If you tender your services voluntarily they \u2018wall be accepted readily.The United States offer you peace, Liberty and security\u2014your choice lies between these and war, slavery and destruction.Choose then, but choose wisely ; and may He who knows the justice of our cause, and who helds in ; Mis hand the fate of nations, guide you to a result the most compatible with your rights and interest, your peace and happiness, .7 W.HULL,.;

but of this their overweening vanity leaves us little hopes.We are not suprized that the Americans should, unblushingly, invite us to acts.of Treason and cowardice.\u2018hese ideas have nothing repugnant to their minds.We have long ago had occasion to know that in the superlative arrogance of their own self importance, they consider us as slaves; but we should have thought, on an occasion like the present, they would not have been so injudicious as to tell us so.\u2018Théy-may call us slaves as long as they please; but | they shall never have to say that we ure governed by Vir- giua Negro Drivers.AMERICAN PAPERS, Boston, September 18.Nathaniel \u2018Daggett, mate of the ship Factor for Norfolk, who arrived ih the Ocean, has furnished us with the following account of the capture of thae vessel.August 24, latitude 42, 31, N.longitude 47, 28, W.was boarded by the British letter of Marque HERO, from Quebec to Portsmouth, England.After detaining the Factor two days, Captain Stephenson of the Hero, took from the Factor, Captain Low, 30,000 dollars in specie, 20 kegs, $0 quarter casks and 10 hogsheads port wine.Also one man named Henry Boles, and ordered her to make ail, .August 28th experienced a very heavy gale\u2014lost our top- On the 7th of September was caprured hy the\u2019 Nonsuch a amall schooner of -1 gun and 40 men, from Halifux.\u2018l'his schooner is commanded by Janies Pierce, a native of the United States who lately lived at Cape Cod.He received a commission at Halifax.Captain Low, | boy and the Cook were sent te Halifax in the Factor, | : Waiwpeox, (Vermont,) September 21, oo \u2018CONSCRIPTS, \u2018The firat Detachment from our militia received orders, the dy after Election, to prepare for mérching\u2014\u2014and they have since marched.: \u2018 [ad thése Conscripts been calied for one day, or one weck soouier, 1t is believed it would have opened some blind eyes and unstopt some deaf cars;

and if any non-commissioned officer or militia-man shall make a similar complaint, such commanding officer shall summon a regimental court martial for the doing justice to \u2018the complainant ; from the sentence of which either\u2019 party may appeal to 8 general court-martial;
