We are informed that ail communication across the line, on the Vermont side, has been strictly prohibited within a lew days past, by the British commander. It is understood the enemy have made an arrangement with the Indians, in which they engage to pay them five dollars tor the cam paign, and the savages are to have all the plunder they can take.

Detroit, ylttg.21, 1S14. “ I am sjrry to inform you, that par: of the expedition to Michilinv.icU.iunc, has re turned without having accomplished its ob ject. Col. Cpoghan made a landing cn the island on the -4th inst. and after short con flict with the British and Indians, thought proper to retire', with the loss of twelve killed and between thirty and forty wounded; a mong the former are major Hoi.mes, capt. Vanmoux, and lieutenant Jackson. Previ ous to the landing, our fleet touched at the isl ands of St Joseph’s and St. Mary’s, captured one schooner laden with 230 barrels of flour, iin.l burnt tiie Invincible, the largest vessel then in the service of the North West Com pany. They also took abodt 6000 lbs. of In dian sugar, and a considerable quantify ci merchandize. All public buildings, together with those appertaining to the North West Company, were reduced to ashes. Capt. Sr Clair 6f the navy, with four of our vessels, remain off the island of Alichilimaclpn- c, v i*!i Col. Croghax and his regulars. They cal m-late that they will succeed in its reduction ; bat I am fearful they will be disappointed.” The Erie Centinel ot the 26th ihst. states the arrival there of the Kxperiment in four days froth Detroit. This arrival brings a si mitar account i f the expeu tion under col. CnoniAM with that published in the above letter. The Dawr^nce and Caledonia had al so arri* ed at Detroit frrnt Lake Huron. Com.

Se veral extracts follow :— POLITICAL SPECULATIONS. Erom the Quebec Gazette, of .dug. JP. e have a particular interest in \vi>liing that these sentiments may n. tbe permitted to prevail unreasonably, in the approaching 1 reaty with America. We are persuaded taut tae i icatycf 1783, contains the seeds of the future destruction'of the British Empire in America, i hey had already grown to luxuriance ; the war of 18.-2 was intended to gather tae fruit. I li it war was premature ; and we may jet be fiermanenii.i secured to the empire. But if that Treaty is i n newed our doom is pronounced. We have only to wait p itieni.y its accomplishment, submit to the derivon ot our enemies, and meditate on our misfortune. The Americans ought not to have a foot ot territory upon the waters < f the Kt. Lawrence, 'i hey ought no longer to lie permitted to trample on the Indians. They must have no pri vileges on any part of the British American Coasts or Territories. If they settle amrngst us, they must become British subject, entirely severed and separa ted from the A merican stock ; partaking ■ f our advantages m [>eace, and oar burthens in w.-y.

Ii is a matter of fact, that the Ameri car.- at the commencement of this war, had no vessel above that burthen on anv of the Lakes, excepting a brig, rcc-ntlv hi it, of 1« on Lake Ontario. We had at that | tone a number of large armed vessels on both i ninstei s of Luke Ont,irio ; in Itiif!, they were i neuters of both Luiics ; and at this moment, I they ii-c cruising on L-.ke Ontario, while the j 1 ritish licet lies in Kingston.

Letters were received in Montreal on Mon day evening from MicliilJi.nacinac, by way of Matchedas!;. dated on the 29th nit. which mention that the enemy’s vessels had been ofT that Island, but owing to the judicious ar rangements for it* defence, they were afraid to land. Lt. Col. McDoual had a force with him including Indians, amounting to about 700 men. The Indians behaved remarkably well ; upon the occision, and have shewn a deter mination to prevent the enemy from lauding._ An attempt had been imfde by some boats which had been repulsed by the Indians, who had killed a few of the enemy and took some prisoners, from whom it was learnt, that his force amounted to about C or 700 in ail, and that they were scarce of provisions and am munition.
