Ilea J Qjtartcrs^ Mont real > Augvjl 31, 18 r 2. tt is with real rcerct that Kis Excellency the Governor-General and Commander of the Forces an¬ nounces to the Troops under his Command, and to the Public, the failureofa'umporturn arrangement lately entered into between Major General Dearborn, Commander in Chief of the Forces of the United •States of America, and himfelf, for a fufpenfion of active hoililities, and which His Excellency had hop¬ ed ftiigkt have ultimately termina¬ ted in an amicable fettlement of the •difierencesiubfiitino- between the two countries. Cape. Pinkney, Aid-deCamp to General Dearborn, arrived at nine o'clock laft night, being the bearer of difpatches from the Command- cr in Chief of the American For- ♦::::>, wffft in.: information that the Prefident of the United States of America had not thought proper to anionic a continuance of the provillonal mcamrcs entered into by His Excellency and General Dearborn, through the Adjutant- General, Colonel Baynes, and that confequcntly the Armiftice was to ccafc in four days from the time of the communication reach¬ ing Montreal, and the Polls at Kindron and Fort George. At the fame time that His Excellency cannot but lament fo unlookcd for a dccifion upon the friendly propo¬ rtion made by him, through Gen¬ eral .Dearborn to the Government of the United States, he trulls it will be matter of high Satisfaction to all his .TUajeity's fubjecb in this Province, to know that he has u- fed ail the men is in his power to prevent a further encreafc of the breach fubiifting between Great Britain and America, and to ward off from theJe Provinces the calam¬ ities of War, with which they arc threatened....In the fame fpirit of conciliation which has uniformly influenced flis Majgfty's Miniftcrs ia thei* Jate licgaGationa with the will give themfelves the trouble to rcilea upon the fubjeel, that the purfuit of an invading Army into their own Territory is but a natu¬ ral confequence of the firfl invadOft difpatches he had received from and the capture of the pfatfs to Mr. Foilcr," at Halifax, containing *hWi they may retire ior iu.,:ty, a meafure indiipenfably nccetUrv for the fecurityand protection ox the country originally attacked. Under all thcie circuniicance; fo the intention of His Majefty's Gov¬ ernment rcfpecYuig i lie repeal of the Orders in Council j and as his Excellency could not doubt but that this Conciliatory meafure re¬ moving thealiedged principal gro¬ und of difference between Great- Britain and America, and which had been tranfinittcd to the Gov¬ ernment of the United States through Mr. Baker, late fecretary of Legation at "VVaihington, would be met by a iimilar difpofition on their part, he fubmitcd to Gen¬ eral Dearborn the propriety of a fufpenfion of hoililities until the determination of the Prefident (hould be made known upon the fubjecr,. The ready acquiescence of that officer in this propolal, except¬ ing as far as it related to General Hull, who was acting under the immediate orders of the Executive Government of America, and the orders immediate iilued bv him ftrongly mamfeiled his friendly difpofition on the occailon, & led to a reafonablc expectation that his Government would not fail to approVe of his conduct, and to confirm the Armiftice he had en¬ tered into. In this expectation his Excellency has been difappoint- ed, and the American Govern¬ ment, by refilling to continue the fufpenfion of hoililities, though with the certain evidence before them of the actual repcal ,of the Orders in Council, has proclaimed in hwruage not to be mifundcr- flood, that other objects independ¬ ent of thofe held out to the Amer¬ ican people as the grounds of the War, were originally in their con¬ templation. That the con qu eft of the Canadas, cither for thepurpolc of extending their own Territories or of gratifying their defire of an¬ noying and embarrafiing Great Britain, was one amongft others of thefe objects, cannot be doubt¬ ed. The invafion of the Upper Prov¬ ince undertaken i'o immediately af¬ ter the declaration of war, fhews in the flrongelt manner how fully they had prepared thenHHvs for that event, and how highly, they flattered thcinfclvs with, finding if. an cafy conqueft, from the iiij po¬ led wcaknels of the force oppoleci to them, and the fpirit of ciiiarTec- tion which they bad previoufly en¬ deavoured to excite amongft its Inhabitants, Foiled as they have been in this attempt by the brave and united efforts of the Regular Forces, Militia and Indians of that Province, under the command ot their diftinguifhed leader, their whole Army, with its General cap¬ tured, and their only remaining Fortrefs and poft in the adjoining Territory wrcfted from them, it is not to be doubted but that the A- merican Government will keenly feel this di/"appointment of their hopes& confequently endeavour to avail themfelvs of the furrender of Detroit, to term it an Invafion of their Country, and to make it a ground for calling the Militia to march to the Frontiers for the con- queft of the Canadas. A pretext fo weak and unfounded though it may deceive fome, will not fail to be received in its proper light by other* and it will ho im- mediatly perceived by thofe who pc^-e with the Arj-?;^;v \-_:. til! fi.il and ranpte bdeirtf/;^ \ has her. a r ^cci\ ed for : ' • \ - - -' tions coiiimittcd ia thii couitiv nor w;'l we permit a iincio tr^l ever to return.
