Two of these were tjs make demonstrations of an assault from the plains of Abraham, in order *•> draw the Etrcnrjjth cf the garrison to tiwt quarter, whilst the other two di- visions, headed by Montgomery ; and Arnold, made the real attack. The fi|rst led -on his division round the base <^f the rock, with a view of gaining the 'tapper town by Prescot Gate, which :\f«a tlwnotily a barrier of paltsadoes. The- irthcr attacked by the suburbs of •'Sft. Hocqfict. i * The path Montgomery took was •riot more than 7 or 8 feet broad, with ti »e perpendicular rock on one side, siisd the water on the other. Across t lii path, about half way round the tase of the rock, abreast work: was tirownxtp, mounted with two nine JsouniJcr^. It was commanded by a captain of an armed vessel and a par- •:t^' of seamen.' The ^Borntngjust began to dawn ; tfae snow fell thick and constant, and llie steps of the assailants iu the new kn snow made no noise. As they shed within a few yards of the adouotful and indistinct sc^wd , and the defenders challeng- efl. No answer was returned. A short: and awful pause ensued, whilst ill is probable Montgomery was!pre- fer the ass.uilt. Then without a single person, jhe two guns, With g«\8;x* were fired. As the atiacking party could scarce- ly farm four abreast, and were in close ordrr, the effects of the discharge were terribly destructive. Groans and con- fusion now expose;! the attack, which a few more charges entirely dispersed. Yet-Tor two hams after, the defenders did not venturr out from behind their brea.st work, nor did they imagine the destruction they had made. Mont- gomery and his prinripa] officers fell.

From the Connecticut Mirror. £With great pleasure we publish the following communication from the Rev. Mr. Taylor, formerly of DCCT- iield, (Mass.) now of Enfield, in this state. The facts stated in it are of so much importance, and so well authenticated that we have no doubt it will receive a very extensive cir- culation. Mr. Editor, SIR—On seeing an account-in a late Philadelphia paper, -of the death of Mr. J. G , of Poughkeepsie, in consequence of the effect of Mephitic Gas, 1 felt a degree of compunction, for having so long omitted to publish the following facts : About six years ago, in the town of Deerfield, (Mass.) which was then my place, of residence, I was present in three or four minutes after a voung tnm had been taken from a well in a state of insensibility, and apparently near death. Soon, however, his sys- tem became universally and extreme- ly convulsed. Meuical assistance was immediately obtained. No med- icine could be administered. Several attempts were made to bleed, but without effect. Friction', and various other external applications were re- sorted to, but all to no good purpose. The convulsions continued. In about five hours the miserable object appear- ed to be sinking into death, and just upon the point of expiring. . At this time it occurred to my mind that if Oxygen could be administered, it might possibly restore him ; but hav- ing no proper me.ms of obtaining it, and h '.ving found from some former experiments, that the herb vulgarly cailrd JJurrnge, contained a consider- able quantity of this Gas; and on en- quiry IK ing informed, that a plenty of it might be immediate! 1 ,' obtained, I concluded to make tml of it, and soon broke a large handful and placed it at liis nose. In t\ro minutes his respira- tion was evidently better. Ja four or five minutes he spoke, and used some bodily cxfriion, but was mentally de- r.'.:K;id. He now discovered an ineii- n'Hi'.'n to obt'tin ibe rjfiuvia of the bumge. Another handlul of the bro- ken I'.avcs were placed as Ixfore. In Ui' minntx-s his reason returned, with a f<:Hsi;!'-ruhlt; degree of strength. He r.o'.v ci;!!t d fur more of the heib, and, in.iiiifes'.f 0, great satisfaction in breath- ing through it.

The following wretched condition of British manufacturers, presents a melancholy prospect of the resources of England. Twenty five thousand and Jour hundred persons in one trnvn receiving parish relief, their petition to patliament for relief disposed «f by a long postponement—a candid decla- ration from a member, that they could not be relieved, and a fear expressed that the very discussion might pro- duce the natural consequences of star- vation, mobs, insurrections, &x. A- mong the expedients arc those of working at lower wages, going to oth- er employments, and becoming agri- culturalists. These expedients are, as respects England, tnily Quixotic. Manufacturers, whose wages are al- ready insufficient to their support, are advised to work lower, and of course eat less; going to other employments, or in other words, let weavers turn shoemakers, and cutlers become tai- lors ; but the most miraculous of all is the proposed desertion of manufactur- ers to attend to agriculture. This xvill stop starvation, but what will be- come of commerce, the only prop of British monopoly ? The wish of the manufacturers spoke the language of despair, and, was q»ite in character with the expedients of their represen- tatives, that they should 1 receive the same wages when there was no market for goods, as if there was one; that masters who were no longer ub!e to buy the raw material or sell the manu- factured, should still find means to pay idle hands. O, England ! your pride falls, your day is fixed, already your setting sun proclaim^ your spproach- ing dissolution, and a wounded world looks eagerly, and without pity, to the closing scene of your political enormi- ties. \ The house of Commons took tip on June 24th, for the last time, the petition of the weavers of Manchester. \ Col. Stanley expressed his regret, that it was out of his power to propose any measure for the relief of the peti- tioners. It was certainly a most af- flicting consideration, that in the town of Manchester alone there were no less than twenty-five thousand Jour hundred persons who had, in some shape or other,, received parish relief in the pre- sent year.\ The speaker suggested that to get clear of the report, it would be in rule to move the further consideration, of it at some day beyond the probable duration of the session. Mr. Giddy moved it to be taken up on that day month. He pitied the misfortunes of the petitioners, but he thought that in such a discussion as this, the general policy of the govern- ment ought not to be blended with the sufferings of any particular class of people. That course might excite all the bad passions, the most dangerous to the state, without doing the least service, (viz. Mobs, Insurrections, 8cc. If one manufacture fell into disuse then: was ne> other remedy for the workmen, than to work at lower wa- ges, or to work iu some other way. He thought that many of our manu- facturers would be obliged to turn their attention to agriculture, which would make this country independent of the rest of die world. ( We liud tho't, that so f,,rfrom thi;', G. Britain Iia'I;ts;>u*c>! to make the rest of the wm id I'ryVn- dmt oil licr for manufactures ;mil onu;- merce.

What they seemed most anxious for, w;is, that the muster manufacturers ;-howlil be obliged to give them ii,<- same v/;-.- ges when {here is no market jbr the goads, as //\there was one. This w:» •A remedy which could not he thought of, on any principles of justice. The petition wu.s then quashed for- ever, by postponement.\ *.£.* And yet the federalists will not cease to assert, in spite of the facts above stated, that our non-importation law has no effeel on Great Britain. From the London Gazette of July 1G. Captain Binghain's dispatch rtla- tivc to the action between the Little Belt and the President appears in the- Gazette of last night. Tt confirms and justifies all that we have said and ob- served upon this subject. The :(g- gression of the American commodore was as outrageous as it was dastardly ; but the British public will be rejoic- ed to find, that notwithstanding the almost unexampled disparity of force engaged, the honor of the British ilag was on this occasion supported with ;i bravery and firmness that en»b!ed a little sloop of 18 guns successfully to resist a man of war of 44 guns ! We have now the word of honor of capt. Bingham, that the firing was commen- ced bv Rodgers ; and xvho witljjut the veracity of an American captain iu competition with that of an HONORA- BLE British officer?* The hostile intent of the American was evident from the commencement. Indeed, from all the circumstances of the case, the hostile determination of Rodgers is rendered most manifest, ' and due satisfaction will of course be demanded in a manner! becoming the honor and character of the British na- tion. We anxiously hope that peace may be maintained between- the two countries, because we fed that rela- tions of amity are the interest of both ; but in a question which concerns the honor of the nation in its tendtre.st part, the honor cf the British ifog (however we may have borne injuries of a different description,) we can sui>- mit to no insult. Capt. Binghartrs ' modest, but clear and full statement of the affair,' is, in our contemplation cf the subject, complete!}' decisive of the question of aggression. Re pos- itively denies baling iire-d first; on the contrary, he used the utmost cau- tion in this respect; ' nor is it proba- ble (he forcibly observes) that a slocp of war, within pistoi shot of a large 4-J gun ship, shouldcommcncchosiilitics.* We therefore again repeat, that under all tiic circumstances of the case, no- thing short of the rnosi ample repara- tion for the injury-.actually done, and the distinct disavowal on the part of ihe American government cf the aggres- sion of commodore. Rodgers, can sat- isfy the instilled honor of theBritishflag, * An honorable British DRUNKEN\ LIAR. It will appear, under oath, that when the American officer went on board the Little Belt the morning after the action, one of capt. Bingham's officers, (a lieutenant, we believe) pointing to seme cf the dead, said* \so much for the captain's bottle.\ or atone for the 1< jeets who fell or ' f)c« isioi).
