r SEPT. 25. the war is vigorously pursued on the sea coast ef the United `, States. Our ships ascend every river, disembark troops, and spread alarm and dismay in every direction. On the 9th of August an attack was made upon.the town of Stomengen, in New London County, 14 miles E. by S. of New London. Our firing did great damage, particularly the Copgreve rockets—but this attack upon Stonninp,en was supposed to be subordinate to a more serious one upon New London, whery the enemy have the Macedonian and United States fri gates, and Hornet sloop. These our gallant seamen are de termined to take or destroy. A detachment Of British troops , has landed and taken possession of Montan!. Point, the eastern extremity of Long Island.---Washington is considered to be unsafe, and it is in ,contemplation to remove the seat of I Government to Carlisle.

Admiral Maloplm followed in a day or two after.---Another expedition, consisting of the 29th, 62d, and 98th regiments, two rifle companies of the Goth regiment, and a detachment of Royal Artillery, under the inunediate auspices of his Excel lency Lieutenant-General Sir J. C. Sherbroke ; the whole divided into two brigades, commanded by Major-General Gosselin, and Colonel Douglas, sailed from Halifax on the c.2Gth August, with the Dragon, Admiral Griffiths, the Lndymioo, Bacchante, Sylph, &c. and sanguine hopes are explessed, that it will speedily strike a heavy blow upon the enemy, though its object is nut mentioned. Amidst these successes and flatter ing prospects of further and more decisive triumphs, we regret to learn, that Lieutenant-General Drummond, as Governor of the Province of Upper Canada, has been under the necessity of making some severe examples of persons found guilty of high treason. Fifteen were tried at .‘ncaster, under this charge, and their crime being proved eight suffered the awful sentence of the law, at Burlington, io the district of Niagari, on the 20th of July ; the remain ing seven have been respited. It appears to be the intention of the Trench Government to attempt to reduce the emancipated negroes of Hayti to the condition of slaves ; to wrench the Crown ft oin the brow of the sable Sovereigns, and to sacs ifiee thousands of whites, to restore all the horrors of shivery in a country from whence they have been extirpated, with dreadful vengeance, liv the sword. The French Reporter who introduced the subject in the Hou,e of Repretatives, pretended that the surren der of the Ilaytian Chieftains might he expected, as soon as they should know the intßution of Louis XVIII. to recover the colony. The documents which we this day publish, and which have been translated by the agents of those very Chief tains, Christophe and Polon, show, on the contrary, that instead of a voluntary submission, the most obstinate and sanguinary is ;stance is to be expected on their part. And who is aloe who will not bieathe a wish fur their success ? By a Proclamation in la-,t night's Gazette the meeting of Parliament is f.. , ther prorogue , !

I.—" I am very ~ , r ay to inform you that the di , order here, insteod of hying removed, as the public accounts state, has re-appeared under vely unpleasant ti:eumtanees. Not tht least doubt of tire exisience of the malignant, fever being entertained all the mnal precautions m.hiek had bean abandoned are again re sorted to, to lessen as much as passible the diffusion of the malady. It is eeitic consolatioy, that contagion+ etreet will be very much li mitted by previous alarm, which occaaioned the departure of almost all those who Iraq not bo"ore been visited with this disease. " As it afferts trading interelli:Ae, you may assume that bushels will be itn•i i intled fr.r tw•: inont,s at least, and perhaps the safer proceeding «iii he to consider the whole sear as lost to commercial adventure." We have also a statement of the progress of the diso:der from the Medical Reports, which was as follows : On the 28th of August five or six new cases were discovered. On the 29th and 50th there were four deaths, and six or seven new cases. On the 31st one death, and three new cases.
