Extract of a letter from A J Fisk Esq to a gentleman of this place -- late date from L?ave Sandusky. The British have crowned Theumseh King of all the Indians* that are at war with the United States. They celebrated the day of his Coronation with the firing of cannon -- feasting and dancing and have given him a British colonel's commission. When the army moves to Canada. I will write you again. I am under restriction a this time or I could wirte more. I have some expectation of going to Cleveland in two or three days. *The ought ot have crowned him king of all the Indies and then his dominions would have been more more extensive than those

whole. They have most grievously br?? bed their own heads with the stone aimed at ours--and it si impossible we should commisterate their case. The actual state of our foreign affairs is

now placed before the people in the naked-

ness of truth.

Angels pleas'd in pause and leisure, Stand aloof to catch the sound. New in wedlock's pleasing fetter, Kindred souls are gathered near, Now no more the absent lover Heaves the sigh or rolls the tear.

WASHINGTON CITY Thursday. July 15 The Secretary's Report Has confrouned the party leaders. Such is the importance of he matter of this report and the frankness of its manner, that the votarie of factions are completey disarmed and discomfited. And no wonder when we reflect on on the views which induce and the circumstances which attend the call for the information contained in the report. The object of the movers (we speak in the plural) of the resolutions passed on the 21st June, what ever they may have avowed was, evidently to impeach the conduct and character of the Executive; and, failing in that, to produce an impression on the minds of the people that the artifice of France had inveigled us in the war in which we are now engaged, and thus to disaffect them to the good cause. We are not disposed to attribute impure motives the disposition shown in all ths proceeding, in every sentence uttered on the federal side of the House, to shield the Briish nation from at least a part of the indignation so properly raging against it for its atrocities in the bosoms of the people and to convert it against France, with whom, whatever may have been the duplicity of her conduct, we are yet at peace. We dis-

dain to follow the idel and contemptible example set s by some of our opponents, by attributing this conduct on their part to foreign partiality. They may honestly wish to supersede the party now in power; to end the present war at any expense and every sacrifice. They thought, no doubt, they had an opportunity, if not to criminnate the Exectuive in fact, at least to do it by hypothesis; and most manfully they seized it. Their stronger opponenets who might hav refused yet gave them up the key of the cabinet; and they sent into it a paper containing a string of resolves, to which and its authoris we mean no disrespect in comparing it to a search warrant, granted to a jeaous husband to ferret out proof of his own dishonr. The Execuive, disdaining concealment, has sent a full conclusive answer to these resolved, though the terms and tendency of the queries put to him would have justified the refusal of compliance with their demands. The bosom of every man belonging to the Republican party must swell with patriotic pride, when he contemplateds the lofty ground on which this attack upon the Executive has placed it. It is now as- ?? //, behond the reach of doubt, that every thing has been fair, honorable and minty in our conduct towards foreign powers; and that the war in which we are engaged was not only just and expedient, but inevitable without disgrace. The facts

were on the march for fort Warbuton and its vicinity. In three hours near 2000 men weer under arms, the greatest enthusiasm prevailed; not a man shrunk from the combat which appeared to offer itself. The secretary at war went down in person; col Monroe secretary of state, and

many gentle men not atttached to any milittary, have gone down as volunteers

TO THE MILITIA OF KENTUCKY Your government has taken measures to act effectually against the enemy in Upper Canada. Gen. Harrison, under the authority of the President of the United States. has called upon me for a strong body of troops to assist in effecting the grand objects of the campaign. The enemy, in hopes to find un unprepared, has again invested Fort Meigs; but he will again be misaken; and before you can take the field, he will be riven from that post.
