NAVAL COURT MARTIAL. A Court Martial was h*ld r»t Portsmouth* on Friday, on board H. M. ship ,-G adiator, for the trial of captain R. II Barclay, and his remaining «.(ficers and mm, for the loss of the aquadron of British gun liais on Lake Erie!, on the 10th of September. 1813, in an action with the American flotilla, of vastly superior force. It appeared from die pub lic letters read to the Court, that Captain Barclay's situation was as singular, as his gallantry and good eenduct were couspicn ous. He was appointed toeommandthesquad ron on Lake Erie, immediately on the ar. rival of Commodore Sir James Yeo on Lake Ontario- It had been offered to. and refu sed by capt Mulc»9ter on account of the exceedingly had equipments of the vessels. Capt Barclay joined his command with a Lieutenant, a Surgeon and 19 rejected sea men of the Lake Ontario squadron in Jane J813, and immediately dispatched tiSirJ. Yeo, an account of the deplorable state of the vessels, and that they were all blockaded in Amherstburg by the American flotilla, where General Proctor's army was station ed. Subsequent’?,about £0 seamen oPthe Uo. ver troop ship, joined Itim , hut then lielnd not more than 150 Brnjsh seamen distribu ted in his squadron, the remainder being Canadians an*! soldiers. The A merican force was double the amount of his in the number of ships ard guns, and there was noc rrtpar ison in respect to the quality of *..ie seamen However, on the 9th of September, he was compelled to sail from Amiiersthurgh, to endeavor to often a communication with Long Point, for the purpose of obtaining a supply of provisions and necessaries, both for his squadron and Gen Proctor’s army ; the winter was rapidly approaching—the navy had benn for some time on short allowance and the supplies by land was by no means equal to the consumption, particularly as there were 14,000 Indians with the army, who would not brook any abridgement of their rations or. indulgences ; indeed the very inhabitants of the neighboring settle * mentswere feeding from the government stores Under these pressing exigencies, with the advice of General Proctor, Capt. Barclay sailed / he hoped either to pass the American squadron, or so disaole there as to effect his passing to Long Point. On the following morning he fell in with the enemy, and having the weatherguage, bore down to commence the action—but, unfortunately, the wind veered directly around, and brought our squadron to leeward. *1 be commence** men*., however, was propitious—the Araei i* can Commodoie was obliged to leave his ship, which soon after surrendered, and hoist his flag onboard another of his squad ron, which had not been engaged, and was making away—when, unfortunately, the Queen Charlotte and Detroit, our. two best ships having had all their officers killed 8c wounded, having fell on board qaah other we unable to clear-*——aw the same time the grea*er numlmr of their guns were dismounted, and the Lady Prevost had fallen to leeward, having lost her rudder.

An officer so much res pected and beloved by the troops under his command, and so fully possessed of their confidence that no danger or difficulty could deter them from cheerfully following where he led the way. Is it possible to witness such'a solemn scene / to see the silent tear steal down the manly cheek of his veteran brethren, and mark the general expressi ons of unfeigned sorrow ; without asking with anxious apprehension, whether the war forced upon us by America 1« entered into j with means proportioned to its magnitude, and conducted with that ability and vigour wlijch may lead us to hope it will be hono rably and speedily terminated ; It is painful to be convinced against our wishes ; but no satisfactory answer can yet be given to the first question ,^ind recent events, added to preceding ones, oblige us to acknowledge, that where our greatest force is stationed we have least reason to expect success It is unaccountable with what perverse infatuation our ministers at home ever have rejected, and still continue to reject, the proper means of acquiring a knowledge of the Amer Can character and country. 1’hey appear to be at thi3 moment equally as igno rant ot both, us at the commencement of the revolution. At uliat time,*if the force sent over in small portions, with long intervals between, had been sent at first, with gene rals of acknowledged ability and experience, zealous in the cause they undertook to serve, and prompt in execution ; the revolt of -hose colonies would never have ended in th*ir complete sepai a ion and independcr.cc. And now that war is declared against us for the express purpose of forcing us to give up our dearest maritime rights, and began by the .uvasion ottfie Canadas; they, with such an example before their ayes, continue iu the same course nf feeole measures and petty efforts, following each other at such distan ces of time as to destroy the efficacy of all. Great Britain never was engaged in a contest so warmly and generally approved by all classes ot her subjt.c*s : at peace with a!’, the world, beside, and in the possession .-of a larger disposable force than ever she had Itefore ; while the Americans are divi ded among themselves, distracted in their councils, inadequate in their resources ; with an army comparatively small for their occasions, ill appointed, and in general com manded by inexperienced and incompetent officers ; and without a single ally to give tSiem the least encouragement or support. Under these circumstances, what has been done on our part ? On the one 9itle, it is true, that a uavy is fitted out, of sufficient force to blockade the whole coast of theene* my, and has generally speaking, effected e very material purpose of blockade. But when any|thmg of a more actively offensive nature is undertaken, a force is sent out not a fourth part sufficient to ensure suc cess to any object of magnitude or impor* tance; and brave commanders and gal.ant troops are exposed to lose their lives, with out benefit tu their country. On the other side where we are most invuhicrable, and where the greater number of treops are sent, the chief command is entrusted to a person of whom we never heard, till through the influence of interest he suddenly started up among ns. It is not to be wondered at, that without ability or experience, success should be wanting, and that sore discomfi lure should result from miserable misman ieement. It is a fact, that can readily he ascertain* ed by those who will take the trouble to compare accounts that mute, many more valuable officers and men have lost ilieir lives in Canada, (in proportion to tlienum* ber employed and the enemy opposed, ) without effecting any thing of con»e^ueiicet or making any desirable progress in the war ; than the duke of Wellington lost in the em mcipalion of Spain, and in accele rating the downfall of the tyrant of Eu rope it is impossible to know this without emotions cf sorrow and indignation ; to know that our armies are frittered away, our best officers killed, one after another, our soldiers cut up in de ad ;and no com" pensution fur our losses, no atonement for the sacrifices, a dismal gloom to look back at, and no cheering prospect before us—it is impossible to think of these things without execrating the cause or causes, principal or subordinate ; and without ar dently wishing ih«r«e may he removed, from whone conduct there is every thing to fear, and no reason on which to ground he sinal lest degree cf hope. FROM THE SI*AN 1811 MAIN. Extr ict of a letter from a gentleman to his friend in Montreal, dated '* Rarbadocs, July 21. '* The Spanish Main is at present in a most deplorable state, S» ere long they will witness ther^ the same horrid scenes which occur red some years since in the Iflaud of Saint Dommgo. 1 have accounts from Carracas ,i»d Cagoirt to the 22d June. A youg Spa |ni«nl bu< >u*t arrived from kiuji ct, who has heen residing there som-t?roe, *mT gives nu 'he following information, which intelfigeuc* is confirmed by some gentlemen who have ir rived at Sti Thomas’s from Laguira. On the 15th June the Republican army of Mnnezu i cl, as they term themselves, under the com. mand of the Gents. in chief, Simon Bolivar and Santiago Marcina, were attacked near the town of Cura, by General Rolns, who commands the Royalists or Spanish troops. At first the Revolutionists gained some par-* dal advantage ; their force consisted of »hree liourand Infantry, and one thousand ca.al. a*, with ten pieces of cannon. Tint the Royaiistf had the same number of men but more than half that number were cavalry. Soon after the action commenced, (at 8 in the morning) a large paity or cavalry from Barceionia (Main) went over to the Koyal» ists, which caused a great reverse to the jlevoluti'.nist*. Victory was soon declared in favor of the Royalists. They followed it up, putting every ,uan to cWasla they could la/ hold of. The revolutionists lost nearly the whole of their army, all their artillery, baggage, dec. and about 800Q dollars in spe* cie. livery General and all their officers were killed excepting Bolivar, who returned to L iguira with only 6 men. His Secretary was also taken by the name of Tubac, a young Spaniard of splendid talents. He was murdered in the most shocking manner 1 he Royalists when my informant left it were within 3 leagues of Caraccas, with an immense army. Caraccas, though a strong place could not hold out long ; all the force that Bolivar could muster to defend Carac. cas was 500 men, but he had not sufficient arms for them, not being able to collect more than 300 mnskets: One reason given for the late successes which h&vt attended the Royalists is the freeing of the slaves.-*— 1 here is an army of blacks near Caraccas amounting to fifteen hundred mefi, and com. manded by ft black. Bolivar since his de feat has declargu all his blacks free, the consequence will be, that after the Royalists have taken Ctfraccas and Laguirn, the blacks will then turn upon the whites and destroy hem. Laguira is pow blockaded by the Spaniards ; they have three brigs and four Schooners off there. People were mov ing off from Caraccas and Laguira as fast as they could. The Admiral on this station | ha< despatched a frigate there for the pro tection of the trade, and to bring off what m.rney individuals might have. Carthagena, and for several hundred miles from it, the people are in a state of revolution ; the Roy^ alists in that part of IVIain cannot make any stand against the Revolutionists or Insurgents as they are termed. LATEST FROM CANADA. We have received this morning from our correspondent at Burlington, Quebec and Montreal papers to the 13th of this momh. 1 hey announce the arrival at the port or Quebec, trom the 29th of October to the 19th of November, of 52 sail mostly square rigged vessels from Europe. Ten of this number are merchant vessels with general cargoes, and the remainder on government account, with naval stores, provisions, milis tary clothing, an;J 12-19 officers and men for the army, besides carpenters, and seamen .or the lakes. The Quebec Mercury is filled with extra vagant speculations on the subject of the f *hent negocmiiou. The following is a spe cinu-n of the v iews and feelings of one of the writers, THE GHENT NEGOCI VTIONS. In our last we had only time to sav a few words on the subject of the ncgociations at Ghent, which we know not how to pass o* vet without giving them some further con sideration* In this we shall confine our selves to what regards the Canadas. “ While the LJ. States think that G. Bri tain has been unreasonable in her propo sals, it appears that there are those in this country who are of opinion that she has not asked enough, particularly in not mak ing *ny proposal tending to the security in time of the war, ofihe navigation of the ri* vcrSt. Lawrence, between Montreal and Lake Ontario. That, at indispensably ne. nessury to this security, as well as to the preservation of the Canadas to Great B the Americans should be compelled to a bandon to the British Crown, the tract ef territory, Iyiug between Cakes Ontario, and Champlain; insisting that an increase of American population, in that tract, will in tune, become fatal to the hold of Great Britain on these colonies*” Extracts from the Montreal papers, fol low, by which it will be seen, that the transport ship Sovereign, with 239 souls on board, has been cast away on the island of j St- Paul, in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, and all perished except 37. E. Foat. Qukbcc, Nov. 8, Loan of the Transport Sovereign. The transport ship Sovereign, bound from England to Quebec, was wrecked on the 18th | of October hist, on the Island of St. Paul, in the Gulph of St. Lawrence.

The Sovereign was Bailing at the rate of 7 miles an hour; and it being abod* 7 o’clock in the evening, the rock on which she split was not observed above three minutes before »he struck. The survivors we/e taken off the isb» j and two days after by the Champion, and ar . rived here the 3d inst. They had saved but a small quantity of provisions, and could not have subsisted very long.
