NEW YORK HERALD ow York, Monday, September 26, ae Sream Sm Barris Qurex.—This noon the Queen will be out sixteen days. We shall now look for her every hour till she arrives. Mr. Webster in Boston—Dhe Day fixed for a New Movement—General Seott tn mo~ tion, We have received a letter from Boston, from our eorps of reporters, giving us the intelligenc tha Mr. Webster will be able to make his great speeca in Faneuil Hall, on Friday « It was originally to have been delivered last week, but in conse- quence of his health, it has been postponed as follows Taemont Houss, Boston. 3} Saturday. 5 Dean Sin b 1 yw positively iged that Mr. Webster will de- peech to the citizens of Boston, at Faneuil lay morning, at eleven o'clock. [saw Mr joraing. He is much better—but still weak; and ian says that he ought not to speak before Fri- st. lc will be a great affair. The papers here are going (0 make a immense effort. We will be in New a Saturday morning, at 7 4.01. with the whole pro- written out in full. Oa Saturday last a barefaced and impudent et tempt was made by Stone, of the “Commercial Advertiser,” and Beach’s Jew, called Noah, of the sdition of the Sua, alias the ** Union,” to impression that the Herald had been deceiving the public on this subject—and that Mr. evening convey the Webster never intended to deliver a speech at all Stone’s article was as follows :— With us, however, there is no disappointment that Mr. Webster did not make a speech at Faneuil Hall on ThursJay nce we had no reason to yas to take place at that ch .o be delivered. Not only w: silent as lo arrangements tor the purpose, but we had other reasons to warrant a contrary belief. ‘True, indeed, many of our citizens were ied los ose that there was to be a gather ing, and a speech trom Mr. Webster, by the Le of Wrampets put forth by the leading total depravity press, But all that, and the parade of pretending to send off a corps of reporters, were merely in the usual course of the haubug business of that con- cern.—Commercial Advertiser. Thus far does the impudence of Stone, or his man Inman, lead. They hate the HeralJ, and call ita “ total depravity press,” because its enterprise, energy; and talent surpass them, or any other paper, cause it is daily subverting their power, influence, and circulation, The “Commercial Ad- vertiser” is losing ground every day, from its folly and mismanagement—hence the hate it bears to the prosperous and successful Herald. So, also, does that poor, miserable old dotard, Beach’s Jew, who conducts tae ** Union,” endeavor, from a similar cause, to throw discredit on the Herald, in the fol- lowiag sneaking statement :— Wensrer’s Srexon.—Several of our readers have ‘ed whether we have received Mr. Webster's speech, 1 act know that it was his intention to make a at Boston. He deelined the offer of a public din- but said he would be glad to see his friends and neigh- , if they desired to cali on him, but in a private and social way. We must expect in these limes to hear all kinds of tumors and reports coming from ignorant and irresponsible sources, to which no attention should be paid.—Union. We see now who are the “ignorant and irre- sponsible sources.” Our whole information was correct, except as to the day. That day is now fixed upon, and set down for Friday next, at eleven o'clock. Our splendid corps of reporters will re- n in Boston till the speech ismade. They will better than uny other corps in the United .and we have no doubt of issuing it on Satur day morning next, inan EXTRA HERALD from this offiee Now for the speech itself, and the movements of which itindieates. We have the best reasons for believing that this speech will astonish the country, vnd begin the demolition of the whig party. Mr. Webster has no intention of leaving the State De partment, and so he has written and said to several persons in this city—among these, we name R. M. Biatehtord, Esq. Mr. Webster desires to assist in setiling all the internal difficulties of the country, as he has already assisted in settling those of a foreign character. On this view he 4s probably oined by every patriot—every good man. Neither does he recognise the nomination of Mr. Clay— and on tlus point he is joined heart and hand by General Scott, who has written the following re- markable letter to a gentleman in Ohio, and which has been published in the ‘f Ohio Statesman’ Wasuineron, Sept. 3, 1812, Dear Str: have not forgotten the warm shake of the hand you gave in the Pennsylvania avenue, some time ago, and thank you sincerely for the cordial letter just received. 1am not a candidate for the Presidency or Vice Presidency, and can know no one as a candidate for either place, wntil a National Convention shall have spoken.

I have invartably answered, that I had neither claims nor pretensions either to the Presidency or Vice Presi- dency; that 1 was quite indifierent to the fir that nothing could induce me to think of the s place. But if nominated by a regular National Con- vention, tor the Presidency, that 1 certainly should the hoaor, if | got not a vote in the Union. OL course, with such nomination, there would be vat one Democratic Wing candidate in the field ; snd there certainly ought not to be two. Who that one may be, is quite indifferent to me; but be he he may—ot some hundred persons | can name -iw sail have my hearty prayers for his sucess. In these tew words, | have given you my creed and position, | uever express myself in other terms, to any body; andall who know me will bear tesumony to my singleness and sincerity, | do not wish Lo appear in the newspapers when | in possibly avoid it; bat have not the slightest ob- jection that what L write and say should be known » all who may desire to know my sentiments. My professional duties leavh me no time to travel, except occasionally, and then only on such duties. An excursion to Ohio would be highly agreeable to me. and With great respect and regard, I remain, my dear sir, yours truly, INFIELD Score. It will be perceived, that, from all these indica ions, General Scott and Daniel Webster, intend to make a grand movement, that will put all the vio- lent ultra Whigs hors dw combat in less than six General Scott is already in Ohio on that The folly of the whig leaders in Congress and out of Congress, have thrown the democrats into a majority. The time is now come to make a counter movement—and it will begin in Faneuil Hall, under the mind of Mr. Webster, on Friday next. Thurlow Weed, arles King and their backers cannot pat down General Scott and Daniel Webster, merely with a whiff of wind. Great squalls are brewing all round. General Scott and Daniel Webster will demolish the ultras—andjthe portion of the latter will be @ plentiful supply of fire and brim stone, both here and hereafter. months. business.

The Commander-in-Chief states to the Council, that since he had the honor of ley ing before the General Otti- cers, at Morristown, the 6th of June last, a general view ofour circumstances, several important events have oc- curred, which have materially changed the prospects of | the Camy ‘That the success expected from France, instead of com- ing out inone body, and producing a Naval Superiority in these Seas, has been divided into two Divisions, the first of which only consisting of seven ships of the line, one forty- four and three smi ‘ates, with five thousand land Forces, had arrived at ‘That a Reinforcement of si ips of the line from Eng- land having reinforced the Enemy, bad made their Naval Force in these seas amount to Nine Sail of the Line, Two Filties two forty fours, and a number of es, a Force completely superior to that of our Allies, and which has in consequence held them Blocked up in the harbor of Rhode Island till the 29th ult., at which Period the British Fleet disappeared, and no advice of them has since been received. That Accounts received by the Alliance Frigate,which left France in July, announces the Second Division to be Confined in Brest with several other Shi) Fleet of thirty two Sail of the line, and a lies of Thirty six, or thirty eight Ships of the line ready to put to sea from Cadie to ve the Port of Brdst. ‘That most of the States in their answers to the requisi- eof them, give the strongest assurances of do- ing every thing in their power to furnish the men and supplies required for the e: Co-operation. The ef- ject of which,however, has far short of our expecta- ions, for not much above one third of the Levies demand- ed for the Continental Battalions, nor above the Same proportion of Militia have been assembled, and the Sup- lies have been so pentose that there was a necessity jor dismissing all the Militia, whose immediate services could be dispensed with to lessen our Consumption, not- withstanding which the Troops now in the Field are se- verely suffering for want of Provision. That the army at this Post andin the vicinity in oppe- rating Force consists of 10,400 Continental Troops and avout 400 Militia, besides which is a Regiment of Con- tinental Troops of about 600 at Rhode Island left there for the assistance of our Alles, against any attempt of the Anemy that way, and two Connecticut State Regiments vnounting to 800 at North Castle That the Times of Service for which the Levies are | feat, and in all probabilit; Fort Putnam stone wanting great repairs the wall on | | Fort Wyllys built of stone 5 feet high the Work above | by a British | leet of the Al- placed, allowing for the usual Casualties, will reduce the Continental Army to less than 6000 men. That since the state to the Council above Refered to, the Enemy have brought a detachment of about 3000 men from Charles Town to New York, which makes the pre- sent opperating Force in this Quarter between Ten and Eleven Thousand men. ‘That the Enemies Force now in the Southern States has not been lately ascertained by any distinct accounts, but the general supposes it cannot be less than 7,000 (of which about 2,000 are at Savannah) in this estimate the Diminu- tion by the Casualties of the Climate, is supposed to be equal i the increase of Force derived from the Dis- affecte ‘That added to the loss of Charles Town and its Garrison acccounts ot a recent misfortune are just arrived from Major General Gates, giving advice of a general action which happened on the 16th of August near Campden, in which thearmy under his Command met with a total de- the whole of the Continental Troops, and a part of the Militia would be cut off. That the State of Virginia has been sometime exerting itself to raise a Body of 3000 Troops to serve till the end of ape’ 1781, but how far it has succeeded is not nown. ‘That Maryland had Resolved to raise 2,000 Men of which a sufficient number to compose one Battalion was to havecometo this army. The remainder to recruit the Mary land line—but in consequence of the late advices, an order has been sent to march the whole Southward. ‘That‘the Enemies Force in Canada, Halifax, St. Augus- tine, and at Penobscot, remains much the same as stated in the preceding Council. That there is still reason to believe the Court of France will prosecute its Orignal Intention of giving effectual succor to this Country,as soon as Circumstances will permit ; and it is hoped the second Division will certainly | arrive In the course of the fall. ‘That a Fleet greatly superior to that of the Enemy in the West Indies, and a formidable land Force had sailed sometime since from Martinique to make a Combined at- tack upon the Island of Jamaica, that there is Oey ord ty of areinforcement from this quarter also, to the Fleet | of our Ally at Rhode Island. ‘The Commander in Chief having thus given the Coun- cil a full view of our present Situation and future pros- pects, requests the Opinion of each Member in writing, what plan it will be advisable to pursue, to what ol Our Attention ought to be directed in the course of this fall and winter, ing into consideration the alternative of having or not having a Naval Superiority, whether any Offensive operations can be immediately tindertalken and against what Point, what ought to be our immediate Preparations and dispositions, particularly whether we can afford or ought to send any Reinforcements from this Army to the Southern States, and to what amount, the General Requests to be favored with these opinions by the 10th Instant at farthest. This concludes the famous‘ Andre’s Papers.” A more remarkable set of documents no man surely ever set foot on before. The papers themselves look yellow, are much crumpled and worn, and bear evi- dent marks of age. Weare justly proud to be the first to lay them before the readers of the Herald and the world, a favor for which both we and they are duly indebted to Colonel Beekman, who has promised to let us know still more of what is con- tained in those seventeen trunks. We need not remind our readers of the infinite im- portance of these papers. Had they been permitted to reach their ultimate destination, in the boot of Major Andre, according to the hopes and expecta- tions of the high contracting parties, Benedict Ar- nold and Major Andre, what a change would have come over the destinies of these United States !— Everlasting gratitude, however, to those three im- mortal names, Joon Pauuowwa, Davin Wruitams | and Isaac Van ‘Want—they arrested the spy—ex- | posed the traitor—and saved the country. {cy CEnEsTE commences her engagement at the Bowery Theatre this evening, and will, no doubt, cause the house to be filled to overflowing, and thus tend something towards the renevation of this recently sinking concern.

One thing she must do or the public will never forgive her; that is to see that she is paid regularly every night, for her services, The degredation to which Hamblin had recently reduced fhis theatre, by exhibitions of scenes of | prize fights, &c., would render any attempt to re- suscitate it perfectly powerless, in any other hands save those of Celeste.

This man, whose name hasbeen the theme of converse for weeks past, and against whom there appears to exist a very strong prejudice as to his participation in the recent fight between MeCoy and Lilly, was arrested yesterday and brought to this city under the following circumstan- ces. It appears that Sullivan, in company with Ford, who was one of the seconds of Lilly, and another person, whose name is unknown, but who is supposed to have been in some manner engaged in the recent fight, have been cruising in the lower bay, in a small sail boat, for the past several days, as is supposed for the purpose of obtain- ing a passage to Europe in some one of the first transient vessels that sailed that would take them. On Saturday last, a person, who it is stated isa black- smith by trade, but whose name we could not ascertain, while gunning on the beach near Sandy Hook, perceived the sail boat containing these men, and from her manner of navigation was induced to notice her very particular- ly. Suspicions were created in his mind that the boat contained something or somebody that was not asit ought tobe, and he conveyed them to Passed Midshipman Bart- Jett, of the U. 8. schooner Washington engaged in a survey along the coast. Some of the crew supposing that the boat might contain a prize of some sort, or from the description as given by their informant, that it might possibly be “the prize fighters,” for whom a reward of $200 was offered, proposed to Passed Midshipman Bartlett to go in search of the suspicious boat, if he would accompany them. They prepared equipments and made a cruise around Sandy Hook, and in the Bay, but could discover nothing that looked like along, low black boat,” ef a suspicious cha- racter, Either on the return of the steamboat Iolas from Long Branch, yesterday morning or previous, these particulars were communicated to police officers Ben Hays and Jo Staunton, who were on a short visit to the Branch, and as the boat came up the lower bay with Passed Midshipman Bartlett, the biacksmith who gavethe first information, and the officers, with other passengers, all eyes were on the look-out for “the boat.” On nearing Staten Island, a small sail boat was seen in the distance, that in seme poing answered the description given by the blacksmith, when all was excitement on board the steamboat. Hays clapped the spy glass to his eye, and as he brought it to bear upon the sail boat in the distance, exclaimed, “ Yes, that’s them—Ford and Sullivan and some one else.” Captain Allaire instantly consented, at the request of the officers, to shape the course of the boat towards them, and no sooner was it perceived than Sullivan and Ford crouched down into the boat for an instant, but finding that pursuit was intended, they lowered their sail and sprang to the use of the oars in order to reach Staten Isl- and shore before overtaken. Theexcitementthen on board the steamboat was in- tense,the fires were urged, but the small boat appeared to be the gainer. Resort was then made to one of the yawls of the steamboat, which was well manned, with Passed Mid- shipman Bartlett and Officer Hays as conductors of ,the chase. The boat containing the pursued; durirg all this delay of preparation at the steamboat, was skimming it over the surface of the water with great’ speed, prepelled forward by the athletic force of the muscular oarsmen, whose li- berty depended on the energetic efforts of almost an in- stant’s Herculean lat or. ‘The excitement upon the river had by this time extend en to the United States’ soldiers on shore, stationed under the hill below the Telegraph, who stared with wonder at the extraordinary proceedings goirg on before them. ‘The boat from the Iolas was now underway, in full pur- suit, and the distance between the shore and the bost con- tainining the pursued, was perhaps: never rowed in quicxer time. She reached it first, and the three men bounded out with the agility of deer, and rushed up the hill with the speed of men who didn’t wish to stop, nor be stopped. The persons in pursuit called upon the soldiers who were looking onto ‘give chase, when Sullivan was captured in a short run, and surrendering without any re sistance, he was taken on board the steamboat and brought to this city. Ford, andthe man whose name is as yet un- disclored, made their escape, the former without hat or coat, he having left it inthe boat. Officer Hays remained upon the island to pursue the search for them, anda num- ber of others were sent down yesterday afternoon for the same puspose. It is, therefore, to be presumed, that they will be arrested. Sullivan stated at the prison tbat the third person in the Dont, who escaped, whose name is concealed, had no par} ticipation in the fight, but was employed by him to aid in the management of the said boat. He also saysthat he has not seen Lilly since the Wed- nesday night after the fight. He complains very much of the excitement against him, and denies all participation in “getting up” the fight between Lilly and McCoy. It is also stated by those who profess to know, thatthe parties in the boat have visited the city almost every night during the past week, and gone down the bay in the mor- ning. Sullivan will be conveyed to White Plains, West- chester county, to-day, unless bailed. The Grand Jury of that county, before whom these cases will be brought, as well as those for misdemeanor at the Hart’s Island fight, commences its session at Bedford this day. Kensett and Halsey also go up to-day.

Featson the Tight Rope precede the pantomine. Cnatuam Taratne.—The bill for the Chatham to-night may be safely set down as superlative in point of talent, attraction and interest. The opera of La Bayadere will be produced in all its splendor, and with a castof charac- ters seldom equalled in this city. Mons. and Mad. Le- compte, Miss Lee, and Miss Coad are announced to repre- sent the principal parts in the piece, which is conclusive evidence that it will go off with {great eclat. Then the new drama of Natty Bumpo, founded on those celebrated novels by Cooper, the Deerslayer, the Mohicans, the Plo- neer, and the Prairie, comprising the exploits of Leather stocking, will be added—together forming the greatest dramatic display ever yet offered to the public, A crowded house will be the result. OG The New York Museum commences its second week under the new management. The success of the first having so far exceeded the manager’s most sanguine ex- pectations, as to induce him to engage Mr. Delarue the Sreat mimic, and Master Young the wonderful wire dan- cer, in addition to Harrington, Rosalie, Kneass and Mr, and Mrs. Bennie. Seven performers of acknowledged ta- lent, all to be seen for one shilling. This Museum has always possessed the reputation of being patronized by a select and gentecl audience, and it richly merits it, for no place of public amusement can be conducted with more decorum. The fact that three parts of the visitors on Saturday aftémoon were ladies and children unattended by gentlemen will sufficiently attest it.

Decline in Cotton—State of the Crops—Arrival of Produce—State of the Markets—Fall in Flour— Emigration and the Epidemic—The Texas Flect— Duels and Fencing—Settlement of the Catholic Question. Si My last informed you of so: littie stir in the cot- ton market, on the receipt of the news from Liverpool per Caledonia. This all ended in nothing, the past week having been as dull as any through the sum- mer, the transactions amounting to something less that 2000 bales, and the market closing heavily last evening, ata decline of 4c. on the rates of tne pre- vious week. Fair having been sold at 8c., and mid- dling at 7c. in small parcels. No really choice cot- ton has yet arrived. We have the usual accounts from above of rust, rot, army worm, wet weather, &e. The amounts of produce have been heavy the past week, particularly the article of flour, which hasde- clined to $3 75, and is very dull at that, and some | sales have been made to close accounts at $3 50. A great desire is manifested in the West to push produce early into the market, as for a few years past the first sales have been best, and now in the advance of all faei holders find it very difficult tohold stocks. This last reason applies with great force to this city, as most goods on arrival here have to be sold for whatever they will bring. | | Freights have improved, and my opinion is that ships will do a very fair business here the comin! season, as our crops of every kind are very large anc much more agg will be shipped from this city this season than last. The weather during the past week has been cool and showery, and there Fas been no increase in the fever, in the number of cases or malignancy, and_ we now do not apprehend any danger of our having one of our old fashioned epidemics, and ab- sentees and strangers, I think, would be safe in coming here in October, though if their business _1s not urgent, they may as well remain abroad till No- vember. 4 Some four hundred passengers have arrived within a few days from New York and Liverpool, and lately we have considerable emigration from Texas, the last vessel from there having brought up fifty ; some of whom were the wolf hunters who went down to revel in the halls of Montezuma. They did not find Texas sais what it was cracked to be, and did notsee the halls of Montezuma at all, but saw the elephant as Kendall would say, an came back while they could. Tam sorry to sr the Texan fleet, under Commo- dore Moore, isstill laying in our river, and cannot get away for want of funds to bay expenses. Mr. Moore has made every effort to obtain the money. He is eager to get away again where duty calls, but Texas government notes don’t find a market now as they did in’36, and am informed he has nothing else to offer. Itisa great mnsfortune, for he is an officer who would signalize himself in any service. In local matters there is but little new. The two gentlemen I mentioned as having fought with small swords about ten days since, have recovered from their wounds, and Jast evening met in St. Louis street near the City Sie when one of them applied his cane to the shoulders of the other, who discharged a pistol at the assailant, missing him at a distance of five feet. Had the shot been fatal the President of the United would have had to appoint a Postmaster for New Orleans. | j Mr. Rousselou whose appointment by Bishop c, gave so much offence to the wardens of the church ot St. Louis, has resigned, and the Rev. Mr. Maenhaut has received the appointment as Curé, which has been approved by the wardens, go that the controversy which had arisen between them and the Bishop is settled.

Bennerr, Esq:— Tn reading your description of ‘‘ Prize Fighting in the United States,” in to day’s Herald, you have no doubt unintentionally, (and which I am sure, with your accustomed justice, you will rectify) injured one of our citizens, by classing him in the list of prize fighters, J mean Thomas Barrett, who is highly respected here for his gentlemanly behavior on all occasions, and his perfect uprightness of con- duct, which has gained him a large circle of warm and ardent friends, among the best families of our city. Mr. B. has never doumhe in a prize ring, or made any pitched fight in his litetime, and Lknow could not be prevailed upon to do it. Mr. B.’s Gym- nasium is supported by the patronage of the medical faculty of the city in a great measure, and the eha- racter you have placed him in would, if not con- tradicted, be a source of regret to one, at legst, of his many friends- Reaper or THE HeRaup.

All those who are suffering under these distress ~ ing complaints, I would advise, by all means, to go to J. Pease and Son, 45 Division-street, and try some of their in- valuable compound Hoarhound Candy, which I can assure them is an excellent remedy for coughs and colds. Hav- ing been afflicted with an extreme soreness of the chest, occasioned by.a severe cold which I had previously, I was induced to test the efficacy of Pease’s Hoarhound Can- ay, and I can recommend it to all who may stand in need ol its healing and curative qualities.
