Lancaster, Nov. 6. To the Editor of the Mercury, Pittsburg Erie, Oct. 23, 1S13. Governor, it seems one of the Republican Members did not vote.

Rose's Horsepowder, AN EXCELLENT MEDICINE, For sale at Dickson's Bookstore. 1 Mr. Editor, No argument could be more conclusive, to show the necessity of circulating Petitions to the Legislature instantly, soliciting a Charter for the great Lancaster County Baltf one million of dollars, than the disgraceful scene that was exhibited, on Wednesday last, at fee subscription for the Stock of an Unincorporated Bank in this county.

Hundreds collected to subscribe for Stock. But, owing to a previous arrangement, of allowing individuals to subscribe to a large amount, in borrowed names, the Stock was monopolized in a very short time after the Books were opened, by a few bold Fellows, who rushed forward principally Speculators, some from the city of Philadelphia, and British Alien Enemies; to the exclusion of the many modest wealthy Farmers and others, of the county, who did not force their way through the crowd until the Books were full. Universal disgust prevailed among those who were disappointed in geting a share of the Stock, at the mode the busir.es was conducted, in allowing a few to engross the whole. If the great County Bank goes on, as there is no doubt it now must, and the Stock is properly distributed through all parts of the county, as equally as possible, by allowing no one to subscribe for many snares, until all have a fair chance of geting a part, and discountenancing Aliens and Speculators, who do not reside in the county, from having any share then the good People of this county will be satisfied with Banks. If this does not happen, they will consider themselves essentially injured, in favor of Aliens and Speculators.

IfisVo be hoped, that no one will buy Stock of the Speculators, at an advance. If none offer to buy, they will very shortly be obliged to sell for whatever it will bring; for some of them even borrowed the money to make the first payment. Besides, the great incorporated County Bank, of one million of dollars, will open a new field for a more honorable, more profitable, and more safe investiture of Capital. FAIR PLAY. immortal Com.

Perry yesterday, and with him Gen. Harrison, with about 1200 Regulars, destined for some place towards the lower part of the Lake. Capt. Barck-ley is along. Most of the fleet is in sight; but Coin.

Perry is just seting out. The Enemy, it appears, burnt their vessels on Lake St. Clair on the approach of ours but the whole force was captured. Proctor and Elliot only escaped even Proctor's sword and papers were taken. Gen.

Harrison has left at Maiden and Detroit 1000 Regulars and 2000 Militia, and is gone in quest of orders, as the Express who passed through here, some time ago, from Sacketsharbor, probably from the Secretary at War, was not enabled to reach him. The storm we had here took the vessel in sight of Maiden, and she was driven back to Buffaloe, where she ran aground, and where the Express, in endeavoring to make his escape, was Latest from our Armies. A letter from Albany, dated Oct. 30, states that Gen. Harrison, with a part of his Array, had arrived at Buffalo, in this State, on the 20th.

Destination supsosed to be Kingston. Gen. Wilkinson, with his Army, left Sacketsharbor on the 20th instant, and landed at Grenadier-island on the 2 1st, about 18 miles from Kingston. His force consists of 4 Brigades, about 6000 Men. Gen.

Lewis 2d in command. The Brigades are commanded by Generals Boyd, Brown, and Ccvington. The following are extracts of letters from our attentive Correspondent at Platsburg Oct. 15. In the late affair of Col.

Clark, over the lines, the Canadian Militia fired but once, which, being returned, they threw down their arms. We had none killed, and but 2 wounded. Their Major could not make them fire at our Men more than once. When our Army gets fairly into Canada, the whole Canadian Militia will act in the same way. The weather is still fine? the roads still good.

II wr, may judge of this, from what has passed of it, the cold weather will hold off a month later than any other for 10 years Oct. 23. The- Army has marched down the Chateaugay river, at the month of which it will ba joined by the Western Army under Gen. Wilkinson, tomorrow; where they will immediately go to fighting, as the Enemy is in a military position The last tfecounts from Gen. Hamfiton left him at Caughnawaga, on the St.

Martin Chitenden was chosen Governor, and William Chamberlin, Many of the Republican votes for Gov. Lt-governor, and Counsellors were, for reasons not sufficiently known to us, rejected by the Canvassing Committee. Had all the votes given by the FVeemen been counted, there would have been 1 1 Republican Counsellors chosen (the 12th was lost by mistaking his christian name); and in Joint-ballot for Governor and Lt governor there must have been a majority for Galusha and Brig ham. After rejecting all the votes, which were rejected, Galusha had nearly 300 more than Chittenden. And as we get the most correct expression of the public sentiment by the votes for Governor, we may say with propriety, that Vermont is yet herself.

Though the 4 Peace-party' may rejoice in what they call triumph; yet we guess the foundation of their rejoicing is rather small. Great numbers of Republican Freemen from Vermont have rallied to the Standard of their Country, to support a cause as just, as the Rights of Man are sacred. Federalists, rather destitute of that patriotism, so essential in a Soldier's Character, have stayed at home to vote for a Federal Governor. Republican, Peaceable Proiect. Letters have been received in Boston, by the ship Erie, from Samuel Williams, Esq.

Retaliation in Extenso. We republished, a short time since, from the Salem Paper, a paragraph stating that 10 English Prisoners in our possession had been closely confined at Ipswich, in this District, in retaliation for 16 American Prisoners of War held in dungeons in Halifax by the Enemy. We have since ascertained, from a correct source, that the number of Prisoners retaliated on is 16. And we take occasion, for the information and alleviation of the relatives and friends of our unfortunate 101 Countrymen, who have been torn from their Wives, Children, and Parents, and sent to England under the false pretence of their being British Subjects, to state that a like number of English Prisoners of War have been designated, and are now detained by order of the President, as hostages for the security and good treatment of our Countrymen and that they will not be liberated until our Citizens are restored to their connections and Country in safety. ANGLO-FEftERALISM.

The Salem Gazette thus speaks of Gen. Hap'ison'a Victory At length, the handful of British Troops, which fur more than a year had baffled the numerous Amies of the U. S. in the Invasion of Canada, deprived of the genius of the immortal Brock, have been obliged to yield to superior power and No doubt, to the mortification and chagrin of all the friends of the world's last the Shield of afflicted Humanity 1' But with what execration and contempt must the Editor be viewed, by every true American, who could be so lost to all patriotic sensibility, as sympatheti- uere. Is it right, that persons who are restrained, by conscientious or prudential motives, from violating the laws, by subscribing to Unincorporated Banks, should be deprived of the emoluments of Banking Institutions; when British Aliens, Enemies to our Government and Laws, and unprincipled Speculators, reap the whole profits with impunity Shame and confusion attend such a state of things.

Sirfl have the honor to enclose you a communication from Colonel Isaac Clark, dated the 15th instant. The expedition appears to have been well concerted and happily executed, for which Col. Clark deserves great credit. On our part, none were killed, and only 2 wounded, neither of them dangerously. 1 have the honor to be, very respectfully, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS PARKER, Brig.

Parker, dated Camp, Shazey -landing, Oct. 16. It is with great pleasure that I inform you of a successful attack upon the Enemy at Massesquoi-bay, on the morning of the 12th instant. After detailing his approach to the Enemy, which evinces an excellent knowledge of the country, the Colonel states: At this time I had only the Riflemen with me, the Artillery moving slowly and the Militia protecting their rear. We proceeded to the village (Massesquoi) and arrived within 15 rods of the Enemy before we were discovered.

lfcfound them drawn up undetfAlajor PinSml in a manner that would tiAB annoyed us much, had we attacked them by water; but wholly unprepared to defend themselves on the land side. They commenced a fire on the left flank but, in 10 minutes after the first attack, they laid down their arms and surrendered themselves Prisoners of War. Understanding that a force of 200 Men, under Col. Lock; was marching to attack us, I dispatched Captain Finch with his Company to reconnoitre them and ascertain their course. He proceeded with such promptness and ability as to surprise and capture the advanced guard, consisting of Cavalry, excepting one Man who escaped, and, giving the information, the Enemy retreated.

The Prisoners were then put on board our boats and sent to Burlington. Our whole force engaged was 102. The number of Prisoners taken is 101; their Killed 9, and Wounded, 15.
