JUJUOIl GENERAL BROWN. Late commander in chief of the army.

General Brown was born in the year 1775, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he resided until he attained the 20th year of his age. The two succeeding year9 he passed in the state of Ohio, where he was principally engaged in surveying public lands. On his return to the ^Atlantic States he fixed his residence the city of New-York, where, in .addition to the direction of a

and respectable school, he

1 '.engaged in the stud^of law. Bathe goon relinquished these pursuits as uncongenial with his disposition^ and having made a purchase ot land in the North Western'part of the state of New York, aild on'ihe borders of

Luke Ontario and the river St. Lawrence, he emigrated to that region •'-while it was yet wild and uncultiva''•ted. Ihe first human habitation •, il.in thirty miles of the lake, is said to have been built under his direction, and Brownsville, where thirty years ago the first inroad was made upon the rude dominion of the forest, is now a flourishing, romantic and -beautiful village, and yet but asingte feature upon a rich, ornamented and ^vidclv extended landscape Gen. xBrown was the first pioneer in this ^brilliant march of civilization and to his activity and perseverance in surmounting the first obstacles, and influence which he had acquired at ^more advanced stages much of the '..great lesult, which is now visible in 'f -the wealth and embellishment of the country is to be traced.

In the spring of 1813,'he was invited by Col Backus, who had the commafid of Sackett's Harbour, then invested and menaced by (he'enemy, to assume the command and defend it Col. B, had just arrived at the place, and was ignorant of its localities. He knew the ability of Brown, and in ah elevated spirit of patriotism, he did not hesitate to resign the personal interest which he had in retaining the command, lor the benefit which the public might reap from the act.- Gen. Brown, by a series of skilful and spirited movements, completely vanquished the enemy but the life of his chivalrous associate was the price of the victory.

Gen. Brown was soon after appoin

In the early part of 1814, he was promoted to the rack ot Major Gen eral, and appointed to the command of the army of ^Niagara. Until the proper season for opening the campaign commenced, he employed himself in organizing his forces, in giving them an efficient discipline, and in cherishing all those principles of connexion between the diRerent I members and grades of the body, upon which its successful operation was dependent and it was his good fortune to be aided in effecting these objects by many illustrious coadjutors.

It would be impossible in this sketch to give a detailed view of the operations on the Niagara frontier. Tiie battles of Chippewa and Niagara, and the defence and sortie on Fort Erie ere the four principal inci dents of that evetitful campaign, in the two first and last, Gen Brown commanded in person, and while he was disabled by wounds he retained the general controul jjof the army. It is no disparagement of the merit of any ©ne of his subordinates to say, that he was the master spirit of that campaign. They were an assemblage of gallant men burning to retrieve their country's glory and their own. His merit *ras the same, and it was also, imore He planned the campaign, and carried into its details the same resolution and energy by which he was on all sides sustained. No one, who does not know the pressure of embarrassment, which weighed down the -national government & clogged its operations at that critical epoch, can estimate the service which Gen. Brown has rendered to his country. The army of Niagara was literally abandoned to its own efforts—and it was only by dint of assaming heavy personal responsibilities, and of making urgent appeals to the government of the state of N. York, that indispensable supplies and reinforcements were obtained by the commander, while his forces were shut up in the defences of Fort Erie, and menaced by overwhelming numbers. 4-

The campaign of Niagara constitutes an era in the military history of the United States. It could not exhibit a higher order of moral virtue than that which bore us through the trials and perils of the revolution But it exhibited American and British troops with nearly equal numbers and discipline, in a series of contests in the open field, where victory could only be gained by superior skill and resolution. They were contests of man opposed to man, and are conclusive as to all questions affecting our military capacity.— They had a most efficient influence upon our national spirit? and the history of after times will point to them as significant

DESCRIPTION OF Mrs. ADAMS if BY AN ENGLISHMAN.

On board the steam-boat with us which was crowded with peopie, merchants and shop-keepers, wh. took advantage ot the Fourth of July, (their great national anniversary,) was no less a personage than Mrs. A the Yankee Queen, or in other worde, the wife ol the President of the United States. Just im

They were all a^ort of next door neighbors. And then after that, you see her at a diuner table in a steam-boat, taking her chance witu about 150 true republicans on every side, and then, stowed away in a Yankee stage coach, carrying ten or twelve inside, and jolting through the dust at the rate ot niue miles an hour, over a® country the whole of which was ringing and thundering with joy for the emancipation of otner days, and over which her husband was chief ruler. Imagine all this, and you will have a faithful picture tf what 1 saw.

Literary Curiosity—We have received the lirst nuinuer of the *Uherokee Phoenix,' the lirst newspaper, we believe, ever published by a savage nation. A single sheet of such a production is sufficient to overthrow a thousand times all the unprincipled declamation and unfounded declarations made by interested white men against the incompetency of all Indians for civilized lite. 1 ins sheet is one of the most remarkable, when all the circumstances ure considered, that ever issued from the pres9.

In the first place it has been established by Indians in the next place, it is the result of a firm and resolute determination to adopt the advantages of civilization in which they have already,asis incontestible, made considerable advances, altho' opposed by those around them. Then as to the contents of the paper, it publishes, among otlier thi»ga* the^irst part of their free constitution, the first, we believe, ever recorded ainon«» a people so recently merged from* mere savage life. Lastly, a large part of the contents are translations in the Cherokee language, written, in character* invented by Mr. Guess, one of the nation.. This will rank among the greatest curioai' ties and inventions of the age. The author, as Me have beeu assured, tho: ignoraut of all written language, has

Sen Brown's casts embraces sti.l more affecting considerations. His severe wounds during the war, early return to the field of battle after his recovery, and his exposures., produced a disease from the effect* of which he never was exempt lor a a

during the seven years which succeeded the war. It only left him then tobe followed, we underlain as a consequence, by one of those a tacks to a series of which he has at iast fallen a victim.

With regard to the family of Gen. Brown, his case bears a relation to the national legislature not unlik that Gov.Clinton to ^legislature oi this state and if some provisions law be not made in both cases, those bodies will not respond to the universal sentiment ol the public which they represent.
