In drawing conclu- sions on this cam- paign we cannot view things in a very favor able light: nothing can be effected for. a lgngth of time having at all the character of decision. Gen. Izard has gone to Sackett’s Harbor with 4,000 ‘men, and those Chaun cey may either take by water or they may be ordered by land,as the naval and military commanders may sug gest Chauncey has been and will be cau- tious ; he will not venture upon the lake Ae knows our hund- red gun ship; the St. Lawrence is ready; this vessel, in close action, would destroy all the American heavy vessels There fore Izard’s tioops will have to march by land, but they will make the cnemy su- perior on the Niaga- ra frontier. This is the result of the wa- vering measures in ampie, some quarter ; measures which may pro- 1 “ar tract the war for several years longer than it otherwise would, had « savage generals to kill commanded, who never think 1ta Sin an enemy, We, howuver, still think the Niagara frontier will be defended, and the superiority ol Lake Qutario be secured, & Kingston saved , but that 1n November, thugs will not be much better than they were twelve months before ; notwithstand- ing an addition of 10,000 of the best troops. Past circumstances fully justify this cuon- clusion. On this point we feel no fear of censnre from any other press of liberal principles. Qct. 8. Intelligence is received from Mackinac, via Matchedache and York, stating that the eneipy had left two armed schooners to blockade the place, until the winter should set in, and then retire. Col. M’Dewali it is said conceived and executed the plan of capturing them. This was done in the night by a combined attack of soldiers and Indians, in canoes and boats. We hope this news may prove correct. POSTSCRIPT. Half past one o’clock.

My dear sir—I have only time to say, that I am thus far on my way to Montreal, with part of the crews of the blockading squadron, whom we have taken by board- ing ; say two large schooners. and one car- tel that we have detained at Mackinac till all danger is over.
