General Pike was the first to introduce the tactios and discipline of modern France into the American army. The hero who fell at York was the man who tad previously oreated the model re- giment of our service, and General Brown, who commanded ia chiefon tho Niagara frontier, was the man who organized tho army to which he wa: appointed, and he plannod and executed in person the operations of the campaign which covered that army with ever-living laurels The first stop of the invasion of Canada was the summons of Wort Erie, Ingersoll, in his history, says:— Mejor Josup was ordered forward with the 26th Infantry to invest the fort in conjunction with Ripley’s Brigade, which bad not reached the sta- tion ‘assigned to it. With Majors McCrea and Wood, ho approached and reconnoitered the fort, which delivered some discharges from both cannon and musketry, wounding a tow of Jesup’s pen. In- westing Fort rie with two brigades, Brown’s sou fortune commenced by its capitulation,” &o. Jeneral Scott, in his autobiography, takes the i ious Opening affair. It mays:--“Seott led the van. [ort Drie surrendered at discretion.” He takes Brown's plans and Jesup's execution as bis o ad Carsar’s veni, vidi, vici, tor the mode! of his narrative; but he should have remembered that Cwsur’s brevity owed its force to its truth. ‘ i The next step in the ‘Life of Gen. Scott,” brings us to Chippewa. and hore isan account of it as embodied in himseif, and made part of his life :— “The British were a welttried and hitherto conquer- Ang roldiery, possessing the advantage of a decided su- Perionity of numbers, and the prestige of invincibility. t the daring and zealous young ‘American general wourted the unequal sirife illed with martial ardor, aud an uncaloutating intrepidity. that only sought the oppor- tunity to wipe out the memory of previous disaster and Imbecility, and to exuit the glory of his country, he mailed himselt for the coniliet. His hopes beat high in the confidence of a spirit that felt determined to wrest re- luctant victory from its favorite standard. In this hardy seeps of soul he led forth his troops upon the plains, ‘The British commander, in full reliance upon the invinci- “bility of bis men, anticipated hie anvazonist's dotermina- tion, and ¢ forth to moethim. The doy hau passed im skirmic! At five o'clock in the afternoon the com- datants drew up in battie array. The Americans coolly and steadily advanced in line, stretching across the tothe wood. The British force, in order. supported by a battery of nine cannon, con- fronted our tanks. ‘ihe attack was simultaneous and ve- ‘hement on both sides, along the whole line. The hostile armies, under a destructive fire. continued to approach uatil they were within cighty yards of one snother, each wnanifesting the utmost coolness and most determined a Shoulder to shoulder the American troops ad yanoed. braveiy meeting and falling before the iron tem pest hurled in their faces by the steady masses of the practiced foo. The young and galiant leader was every- where along the line, ei and animating , and displaying an activity, au enthusiasm, and a ° disregard of danger, that inspired and electrified fais little army. While the battle raged in yet uncertain fury, the British line was observed to become in @ mea- sure broken, in consequence of its right wing ha’ ween retarded in its advance by the wood, where it come into conflict with Jesup’s battalion. Scott seized upon the favorable moment with the eye of a veteran eral, and by a skilful military manouvre, directed fhe whole force ofhis attack upon the now weakened wentre ofthe enemy. The swiftness and fierceness of this movement, backed by a murderous fire of our artillery, waused the onemy’s line to waver. At this critical mo- «ment he gave the order to ‘charge bayonet!’ The onset ~ was The British columns were borne down aud crushed by the irresistible of this sault. Rig Belg oe fied in confusion, amid terrible . followed up his advantage with masterly activity and his adversary over the + plain into his intrenchments.”” Now tho reader will observe that this whole bat- tle scene is filled up with ‘the daring and zealous oune Aseriosn. Gi 7— with his martial ar- jor and unoaloulati intrepidity’—‘who mailed bimself for the conflict to wipe out previous disaster sndimbeoility, and to exalt the glory of his coun- ary!” And here he tells us of ‘‘the hopes which ani- mated his bosom. His hopes beat high in the con- fidence of a spirit that felt determined to wrest re- Juctant victory from its favorite standard. In this nee of soul he led forth his troops upon the plain. Why should General Scott make such a prelim- inary parade about his secret emotions? He car- ried his brigade gallantly into action, and why not lot that fact speak for his courage? And aby, after all this excelling heroism is display- éd, does he forget to say one word of the com- guanding General Brown, who was on the fiold i everything, or of the conduct of the ether officers, whose separate ore cooly struck the blows that put the enemy to flight? Instead ef doing this, he parades his e again as that which electrified the whole field and sufficed for the whole army. ‘“ Tho young and gallant leader was every whore al the line encouraging and anima- ing his troops, displaying an activity, an enthus nem, and a foarleas disrogard of danger that igs and electrified his little army.” juhtless, Gene- 2a] Soott did bis duty Melee aE but he forgets that it was not ‘* his littl iy,” but Gen.

Compare the account of the setion as given by the Secrotary of War, General Armstrong, from the official reports, with that taken from the ‘‘ Life of Scett.”’ * The hostile armies being now but about one mile and a bait, their pickats wore found soon after day-bresk skirmishing - a mode of warfare little adapted to Brown's views, and one he was desirous of terminating, which should ‘ae hie adversary from making experiment of it.

But driven back by Jesup’s gallant cl exposed to flank as well as to front fire, Major McNeill on the right, Major Leavenworth ted to the ememy’s attack, meanwhile poured in their rapid and destructive fire, McNeil judiciously ocoupied am ob- lique position, and delivered his well aimed shots with fatal eflect; and though Captain Towson’s own gun was thrown out of aotion, he served with unabated ardor at the other pieces. Captain Harris, of the dragoons, (which corps was not mado use of,) volunteered to serve out of his place, and had his horse shot under him. Major Wood, of the Engineers, also served as @ volunteer. Col. Campbell, the only officer disabled, was wounded as ho led the 1th regiment into action. Whilo it was raging, General Brown arrived and cheered the first brigade. with urance thst the second would soon come to its aid, in killed avd wounded had lost a tourth of its Yet unshrinkingly continued tho action alone. although Scott's brigade alone, assisted by Por- ter’s volunteers, fought the battle, yet Brown made ali the arrangements that preceded it. General Jesup, (as quoted by Ingersoll,) saya, that General Brown ordered General Porter to place himself between the enemy's ad- vanee and bia muin body. To facilitate this olject, our advauce pickets were orjered to provoke a fire from the enemy's pickets, and then to full baok to some log cabins in front of Street's House, to induce them to follow, and draw, if possible, their light troops to follow in that diree tion, A heavy firieg soon commenced, and continued for mio than tlirce and 4 half hours, when the onemy’s light troops were observed to be retizing, aud froma ot dust seen rising in the road leading to Chifpewa bridge, it was evident Rial was in motion with his princ!- pal force, and that he had attempted with his light troops a similar ruse upon us to that which Gen. Brown had altempted upon him. At the time the firing had bo- come 60 heavy, Lajor Jesup ordered the 25th to be ready to move at a moment’s notice, and mounting his horse, he crossed the creek and joined General Brown. Waen the movement of Jtiall was perceived, he returned iimme- diately to his place and found the regiment forming under arms, by arder of General Soott, for exercise, (up to this time Scott had not been in battle;) 8 few moments aftor the order was given by General Brown to march and meet the enemy,” Hore we seo Browa executing in porson all the manoouvres that brought the British goneral out of hia entrenched oamp—ordering the battle—hasten- ing on reinforcements, and beforo they could get up, flinging himself into the battle where raging, to en- courage the troops to maintain it. Yet Scott, his second in commend, would, in his biography, lead to the bolicf that there was no such man as Browa, the genoral-in-chief, at Sr att and he equall: forgets Porter, Campbell, Leavenworth, McNeill, Harrison, Towson, Wood—all the gallant chiefs un- der him, who fought the battle, and be only men- tion’s Jesup’s name to make the impression that ho ordered his decisive charge with the bayonet—a charge which Jesup made on his own responaibility, without an order from Scott, and without his knowledge, until its suecess had made it apparent. The next step in the biography, is Lundy's Lune, and as it isthe great battle which is rolied on by Scott and his friends to close their Presidential cam- paign with victory, not a word of their narrative should pags without due consideration :— “ Finding himself. (the biography says.) thus surprised into a battle against such enormous odds, he might well have determined to retire and await the arrival of rein- forcements under Gen, Brown, before going into action. But with undaunted purpose he resolved to stand his ind. He however diately disputched an aid to ener al Brown requesting him to hasten to hisassistance, It was now six o'clock in the afternoon. The quick eye of Beott discovering the opportunity, he immediately or- dered General Jesup's battalion to turn the enemy's flank. Under cover of about two hundred yards of un- der growth. which concealed the operation, Jesup accom- plished his object ia a brilliant manner, and not ear cut off the left wing of the enemy, but triumphantly broke through their ranks, and returned into lise, hearing off Major General Rislt and some other British officers pri- eoners, The enemy, outflanking our troops on the right, made powerful attempt, bocked by murd-1ous dis: charges cf cannon, and favored by superior numbors, to turn our position General Scott perceiving the attempt and intent upon foillog so threatening » unovement, des patched McNeill's battalion to repulse the enemy A most obstinate conflict, conducted on both sides with great vehemence foliowed. ‘Lhe assailants recoiled, and were punithed with dreadful severity. Meantime the main battle of the two centres had joined, and fought with great fiercenesa, Tho American line sustained with unrhxken valor the whole weight of the enemy's superior numbers. now precipitated upon them witha flery im- petuosity. Our gallaut band, though suffering pro digiously, displayed unconquerable resolution. The com maxding presence avd heroic example of their intrepid commander, who, regardless of all peril, with unwearied vigor, was foremost ery post of danger, nerved them to unparalleled efforts. The battalions cf Scott, on this occasion, before he was succored by General Brown. were dreadfully cut up. Night came on, and beneath the un- certain light of the moon, wading deep through the broken cleuds, the @esperate strife was continued. Gen. Bcott had had two horses killed under him, and been wounded in the side bya bullet. But in nowise subdued. he rushed into the contest on foot, and continued to the end in the thickest of the fight. “The British infantry continued to pour theic deadly fire upon our weakened ranks, and their artillery, posted in a commanding position, on the crest of a rege height, which commanded the whole field of battle, at every discharge thundered death upon our devoted columns. At length, at nine o'clock at night, after three hours of this’ deadly struggle on the part of General Scott, General Brown sr- rived upon the ground with his reinforcements. The enemy, which. with vastiy superior numbers, had barely withstood the determined bravery of General Soott's little army, and only maintained itsclf in the cen+ tre under the guns of the artillery, was now obliged to yield. The regiment of the heroic Miller was deputed to the pain service of silencing the British buttery on the heights. General Scott volunteered to lead the way. and did so, through the darkness. up to the point of attack. He thon returned to favor Miller's movement. and made another onset upon the British line. in which his battalion fered evem more than before. ‘er @ series of desper- hand to hand encounters, Miller was successful, and the batteries were silenoed. “ Under the renewed furious ch: of our treops the en- emy were now forced to retire, abandon the field to the Americans. Tn one of the last of these charges, just at the close of the action amid terrible fighting, Scott was severely wounded, and bad to be borne from the field. This engagement incontestably established the bravery of our troops, and the reputation of General Scott as an officer, In this picture, Scott is made not merely the principal figure, but the only important personage on the scene. Brown, the commander-in-chief, whore gamp was not three miles from the field, and who mounted and rode to it as soon as the firing was heard, met the exprees sent by Scott to him for aid —who brought up tho'second brigade’and interposed it between Scott and the British line, throwing Scott in the rear as the reserve—who saw the ingur- mountable obstacle to succeesin the enemy’s battery, which had not been attacked by Scott, and should have been—who ordered it to be stormed—iook it, and reformed the whole lino of battle in front— repelled the enemy's succossion of charges, and finally drove bim from the field, afer Scott had again entered with his reserve, and had been de- feated in his charge—this bold, active, skilful chief, who was in overy part of the battle, and although shot through the thigh and in the side, never left it until it was won, is, im Soott’s sketch, nowhere to be found. But the Secretary of War, Armstrong, however favorable to Scott, shows, from the repors, of all the officers engaged, how the victory was achieved. This is a contemporary notice of the event. 2 (to be contINUED. Obituary. Henry I. Fuller, Feq., of Boston, died at Concord on the 1 inet., after a illness, at the of about O2years.

Quwexo, Sept. 14, 1852. Despatch from the British Seoreiry of State, on the Subject of the Fisherves—. of Granting Bown- ties Natural Advantages Enjoyed by the British Fishermen over Americans— Thewr Indolent Habits —Importation of Foreign Fish. ‘i Last evening a message was received from the Governor General, transmitting tho following des- patoh, which contains a succinct account of the cause which led to the interruption of the usual pursuits of the Amerioan fishermen on the coasts of the British Provinces, and an explanation of tho objeot whioh it was intendod to effect. Great caro, it will be perosived, was directed to be observed by the officers intrusted with this duty; and as no statements have sppoarod, of any unnecossary harshness and severity having beex ocxercised on their part, it is to be inferred that their instruotions have been complied with—a ciroumstancemore than any other, perhaps, which as yet has had atenden- cy to preserve the existing relations between tho two countries. Through the kindness of a member, and the. plorisief the Bouse k a beon nage take a copy of tl espate! efore and which’ T herewith fee raat It will be perceived that any arrangement with reference to the reciprovity of trade between the United States and the colonivs, is lefe to them exclusively, and that the movement of the British government relative to the fisheries, was not moant to have any bearing upon negotiations that might be pending. As to the granting of bounties, from what I have seen of their operation formerly in the British colonics, it is much to be doubted whethor they are caloulated to promote the object for the advancement of which they are professedly allowed, it having been found impossible to keep thom out of the pockets of the merchant. Even ia the Unitod States, throe-eighths of that which is granted by Covgiess in aid of tho fisheries, go directly to the owner of the vessel, whose average shure of the catch, besides, is twenty-seven per cont.§ I have atways considered the groat natural ad- vanteges which the fishermen of the British pro- vinoes Sas more than an equivalent for the eucouragement afforded by the American govern- went to those of tho United States. Thoy reside in the vicinity of the fishing grounds, and the best | deecription of fish are caught in boats, with which they return at night, and ure cured by women and | children. Neither do their vessels, which are en- gaged in the deep sea fishery, require to be of that | superior class, or so expensively fitted, as those of the Americans, who have to make a circuitous and dangerous voyage. ‘That a bounty is not requisite to evable them to compete with the American fish- ermen, is evident from tho fact stated by Mr. Scud- der, of Massachusetts, recently in Congress, that during the four years ending in 1850, the average value of codfish imported annually was $55,178, and that of mackerel, ia 1851, $569,325, notwithstand- ing the almost prohibitory duty that is imposed. Ali that is wanted on the part of the colonial fish- ermen are industry and enterprise; and if the graut- ing of bounties will have the effect of rendering them, particularly ia Prince Edward Island, loss inert, it is about all it will accomplish for the gone- ral good. Dowsine Srxeet, May 27, 1852. My Lord—Among the many pressing subjoots which have evpaged the aitention of ber Majesty's ministers, since their assumption of offloe, few have been more im- portant, in their estimation, than the questions relating tothe protection soliclted for the fisheries on the oousts of British North America. [er Majesty's government have taken into their serious consideration the represen. tutions which haye been reocived on the subject from Nova Scotia. New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island; and more recently from Wr, Hinoks, on the part of Ga nada; and have not failed to cbserve that whilst active measures have been taken by certain colonies for the purpose of encouraging their Osheries and of repeliing the intrusion of forcign vessels, it hag been a subject of complaint in New Brunswick that impediments should have been offered by the policy of the imperial govern: ment to the-enactment of bounties, considered by the local legislature essential for the protection of its trade. Her Majesty’s ministers ure desirous to remove all ground of complaint on the part of the colonies, in con Sequence of the encroachments of the fishing vessels of the United States upon those waters from which they are excluded by the terms of the convention of 1815; and they therefore intend to despatch as Koon as pos ble, a small naval force of steamers, or otbe: email vi sels, to enforce the observance of that conven‘ion vessels will, of couise, be conflued to the port the duties with which they are specialiy charged, : commanders will be enjoined to exercise a crreful tion in the very delicate office of interfering with vo belonging to forvign and friendly powers.

Marie, on the Canadian side—Levying Duties on American Produce when Imported into England—Fishery Dispute w Satled--Railroad Mania in Canada--Introduc- Show at Quebec. The attention of the Legislature has already again been called to the construction of a canal atound the Sault Ste. Marie, or rather at the falls | above it, at the foot of Lake Superior, and a bill granting a charter has been read a first time. It will be recollected that Congress, at its lat session, made a donation of public lands to the | State of Michigan, in aid of a canal on the American , side, whore the site is less favorable than on the British, and where the current at the foot of the lake offers greater obstruction to navigation. The general impression developed during the die. | The Secession Movement in Alabama---A Flash in cussion which took place on the introduction of the bill referred to, was, that the government should | undertake the work, and by which a survey was | ordered this summer, to ascertain the depth of water | below the falls. The report has not yet been laid before the Legislature, but is evidently favorable, and a8 the subject is of much interest in the United States, as well as in this province, I shall, as carly as possible, obtain a copy, and will furnish y an abstract for publication. It would appear, howovor, from what fell from Mr. Hincks, the Inspector Genoral, that the provin- cial government is not disposed to engago in the undertaking. Indeed, the public faith of the pro vineo is being so extremely pledged in aid of rail- waye, that itis probable the work will be left for accomplishment to private enterprise. Mr. Hincks seemed disposed to await the action of the State of Michigan, consequent upon that of Congress, while a with the othermembers contended that nothing would be | done in that quarter, if there was any probability of ® movement on this side of the line. Ono thing ig very certain, that if the same facilities existed on | the American side, the canal would long since hare been completed. It is really deplorable that fresh water that has been disoovered on ‘any part of the globe—which is estimated by some travellers to be 300 miles long and 1700 in eir- cumference, and which could be connected by a na- Mee channel of about three-quarters of a mile, and witha height to be surmounted by artificial means of only twenty fost, the cost of which would not amout to $100,000—should remainclosed. Wore this canal completed vessels might deseend from Lake Superior to the ovean, hy means of tho Welland canal, through which a large amount of Amoriean property now finds it way from lakes Brio, Michigan, and Huron, to Oswego and Ogdensburg, and thence to the Atlantic ports of tho Union, Tho copper nines near the foot of Lake Superior, which at present sre extensively worked, afford another argument in avor of a oY canal, the construction of which on in “es or the other cannot be much longer de- fed.

Position of Canada, Donscana’s Horrn, 2 Montreat, Aug. 27, 1852. § TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. The hold upon the Canadas, by Ungiaud, is now, and must be ia future, maintained solely by moral, and not by physical means; by the attachment of the peo- ple flowing from an honest and just administration of government. The five thousand men of the army then, which now occupy the Canadas, small as the number is, are too many for any demonstrative purpose; they can neither defond the Provinces against » forcign foe, nor prevent the action of the people, if they should determine to become inde pendent of the British crown. The truth is, England neednot maintain a single soldier in tho Canadas ; and it is foo following the present policy, that there will not be a soldicr in the country in a few years, save at Quebec. It is not many years since there were, by report, twenty-five thousand men maintained in Canada. These—so far as defending the country against the United States was iu view —would not have availed against the immense military means, material ana personal, that that power could, in a short time, combine for the con- quest of Cenada. In a war with the United States (which war cannot by any suppesable means cver exist, England being the chooser), Canada would be conquered within 1200 yards of Quebec in three months, and that fortress would be reduced by regular siege within twenty, thirty, or forty days. It is seen that Englond has reduced her military forces in Canada irom 25,000 to 5000 men; and we inay guess that hereafter she will maintain her power by the people represented intelligently ia their Parlia- ments—the Governors General being selected for their Hiberal views and administrative abilities, and instructed to oppose no veto to whatever legislation muy be had, having the intercsts of the people in view, and which may not be opposed to British, American, national, and international principles: England will bo wise in oflering this as a settled policy, so long as she desires to maintain her sovercignty in these provinces, for she will accele- rate thereby the vast resources of the country, which, whether the products flow to Quebec or New York, will become a mighty flood, bringing power and prosperity to Canada, and great benefits to England as well as to the United States. But I fear that the Canadians are not sufliciently on- lightened, and are too much divided smongst themselves, either to understand now what Eogland desires to do in the premises, or to maintain an independent and woll balanced sovercigaty. Should this in the end poe true, they must submit to the United States for a panacea, in the shape of an- Th existence. Descending to details, | have great pleasure in bearing testimony to the admirable diccipline of the English army stationed in Canada. ‘The organization ofthe British army is said to be, perfect as it ever has been; and I readily believe this to be tho case, sceing the | fino portion of it in this city and in Quebec.

Tho convontion was composed ofsome sixty members, representing clubs orassociations in only cight counties.

While this was going on within tho pre- cinets of the cabinet, the Santa Anna Club had not remained idle. They, too, haa decided upon sond- ing their embassy to the revolutionists; and for this parposo had selected Suarex Navarro, right hand of Santa Apna and editor of the Precursor, incom- pany with two gentlomcn named Batres and Yanos —the latter a general, and both of them mon of considerable weight and influence in the district, The government commission reached Guadalajara, but not only were not listened to, but were at first ill-reoeived, and finally driven away. ‘I'he Santa Anua delegation, however, was more fortunate, and it is from the time of their appearance that the pro- munciamento, or revolution, leses its purely local cbaracter,,and acquires a general and political one. This you will be able to judge of for yourselves, by the following basis of the p!an laid at Jalisco. Tho government has received it a very short timo since fy an extraordinary expreas, and I owe it to the confidénee and frigndehip of a gentleman in the in- timacy of Arista.

This body of tr is the only one existing in the State whiok can be depended upon. It is commanded by Gon. | Uraga,utirm, determined, skilful soldier, & most bilter aud inveterate foe to pronunciamentos and re- volutions. The officers of this corps, too, are the flower of the destroyed Mexicun army. When Me. Vivo, Mexicun consul at your city, passed th: Puebla, General Uraga ordered a grand review of xJ] his troops, which paraded with the utmost mag- nificence.

Such are the elements which will go towards con- stituting the new political system, whose advent depends upon the very possible succeas of the revo- lution begun at Guadalajara. The government is entirely at a loss a3 to what measures it is expedi- ent to take. The vessel of State is at the mercy of the revolutionary gale, and though General Aris- ppears to be a good pilot, I greatly foar that all and all his efforts, may be poworless, in opposing and checking the mighty elements that storm and rage on every side.

Tho resignation tendered some time back by the members of the cabinet, was received on the 22d day of Augus' through Remirez, Secretary of Foreign Affairs. Irom that day Gen. Arista has been very urgent in his entreatics that his ministers should not abandon him; but his prayers have been yain, and to-day, at nine o'clock in the morning, he had to accept the tendered resignations. For the laet five days this ministerial is has been the theme of much comment, and several names have been mentioned as being about to fill the vacancies. As yet, however, no intments have beon made. Still, {can inform you that thereia Speacaeaiie 0 bability that the office of Robles, Minister of War, will be filled by General Santiago Bianco; that of Esparza, Minister of Agriculture, by the present Treasurer, Mr. Velez; that of l’oreseca, Sec- retary of Justice, by Py eee and that of Rgmirez, of Foreign Affairs, by Lacunza, who has alroady filled this post under Herrera.
