Tlicre have been a number of hiiitoriei relating to the war, hut iiiont of them are incomplete, and nearly all arc devoted more to the ac- tive military operations than to the condi- tion of affairs and the feeling of the people 1812, five months before the dec-'antion of war. an Aot of Cougrees was pa*i d for rais- i ing i"), (XMUnen (0rGv years.

He wan adniiniiitiator of the Government and commander of the military forces as well, and fortunate indeed wus it for Canada that the civil and military ]>owers were combined in the person of one so able and so energetic as Isa*c Brock. In considering his position at the beginning of the war I will draw at- tention tint to the overwhelming odds against us and the apparently hopcleiui pros- pect ot successfully defending this province, I.I.IT MN'-> Ml HjCfl.TIKS In the first pla':e Kngland was eng.ip il in the mightiest effort she had < vcr made, car- rying on, almost dingle handed, a war against the greatest soldier and conqueror of modern times, if not all lime. From ITH.'I with a s'.i^ht inter mission, she had It-en continually engaged in war. The liritish triK.p* had been lighting in the Peninsula with varying success for four years One army, under Sir John Moor, had been obliged ti. letreat in ISlitt to CVirunna and mil ,nl> for Kngland ; while Lord WellingUtn bad been ohli.ed to fall back to the shelter of the lines nf Torres Ycdraa in IMIl, and across the Portuguese frontier in 1MI and to retreat from Iturgosin IM'J. The national debt hiul iucrcaae<l from 'J40 Millions to about 740 milliims sterling during the pretrdin^ 111 years, an increase of over f.li,ii,(pii, or tl30,(l(K),OUU per annum.

His story is a most extraordinary It aj.pears that Mr. De Vieune left XapAfity in September for the purpose of making a trip to Kurope intending to visit Italy and spend the winter at Nice and Monte Carlo. He took with him a few hundred pounds and a letter of credit for recommendation to them that each man, as ! amount suflici.ut to cover his expenses far as his circumstances and .ituation allow- while absent. He proceeded to New York hlticulties < i ienc > r l a ^ j ed, should pnm.le himself with a sliortcoat <( K--MII- dark culored i-l.ith, mule to button well around the body, and pantaloons suited to the season, with the addition of a round hat. It was also recommended to the officers on every occasion when in the field to dress ID conformity with the men, in order to avoid the bad consequences of a conspicuous dress. Flour was scarce, the price having risen befiin- the WHrtot^.SO a barrel, and many of the militia were drilling in their naked feet, while Brock wak without a military chest, witlmiit iinnify enough to buy provisions, blankets or even shoes for the militia. He ii' i Ii his wants known toa numbei of gentle- men of credit, who formed themselves into what was called "the Niagara and Queens- ton Association," and several thousand pounds were issued in t he shape of bank notes which were currently received throughout the country. This enabled Brock to tit out his i-\ nfdi t inn to I'l'lniit. The want of arms was also severely felt until the capture of U-tri.it placed at his disposal 2,!MO muskets f ii. nei.il Hull's army, which were used to arm Canadian militia.
