MAJOR LATOUll'8 MEMOIR. We have perused with uncommon pleasure the Historical Memoir of the war -in West Flo rida, and Louisiana, just published here by Ma jnr Latour. It comprehend* the detail ot events which were, at the time, of the deepest interest and which must attract the attention of Ameri cans in all after q#CH- Jackson's lines on the left bank of tho river Mississippi were, in fact, the Thermoputm of the Western tttates $ And that commander and his (pliant associates, like Lconidas and his band, fought with the ardour inspired by liberty, and, more happily titan tkey with unrivalled success* Numerous considerations will contribute to render this event illustrious in our annals. The importance, of the town of New-Orleans ibtclf, destined by nature to be the emporium of com merce to the vast and fertile territories that em brace the waters of the Mississippi, and its thou sand tributary streams \ the design plainly ma nifested by the invaders of making a permanent conquest, there, atid thence extending their movements upwards ? the difficulty if not im-| practicability of regaining a position ho capable of defence by a great military and naval power; tho promised violation and plunder of a large population by a licentious soldiery, in enne of their success} a fact which has become exceed ingly probable, and which, with thn author, the world will continue to believe, as long as it re mains uncontradicted by those who have it iu their power to disprove it, if untrue : the spec tacle of a conflict between veteran soldiers, flushed with a aeries of bloody campaigns in Franco and Spaiin, lejd by officers drilled to all the tactic* of war* and partakers in the triumphs of Wellington, and a body of freemen of various district*, drawn mm*niy from their fire-aide*, inferior iitaumbertf/Nfod unskilled in battle, re lying upon the justiceof their cause, and the native valor of their soul^v The progress of such a conflict from the moment when tho signal of alarm was sou nded to the last period of victo through all' Ita chances* its rs and its display (iif;Mroic form an epoch, in otf?$)jjip torv, highlyTnfevest'ng and instructive. The events of this short campaign are treated by Major Latour with ability and elegance Though previously Acquainted with many o" material fact*, we havn recurred to thom a tn his work with pleasure, lie is overv wj perspicuous and unaffected \ and his deta the battles is intelligible to readers of e class. lie has not cunflncd himself to a dry re lation of occurrences ) hut has pourtrayed eve ry where the mind that moved the mass, and the sontiments and feelings of the moment, It is with iusi honor and indignation that he de picts tho atrricioii? conduct of the British in their overtures to the Daratarian piraios, in their flring on tho American soldiers, who af ter the hat tie of the 8th, went to the assistance of their wounded foes: and the accusation which we have already Mentioned, of thek offering to a ruffian soldiery the violation ofour females, and the plunder of private property. Such conduct will ever be stamped by the historian with indelible marlf* of infamy* and he will be criminally impartial who shall auppresa his con demnation of it. Wo think Major Latour'x Memoir is entitled to rank with those works that deserve tho namo of history ; that it is an ac quisation to our literature ) and will be placed with those fow publications we possess in tliia country, that combine the authentic rocord oi event* with the talent of developing their causes and consequences, and of adorning thom with the charm of style. The drafts aiid plans ac companying the history are very satisfactory in in illustrating it. Wo regret that we cannot applaud the engraving of General Jackson, which fronts the volume.

It is a singular circumstance, that while the biography of all out- distinguished naval commanders has been the theme of various pens, the life of lilakely should never have been written, although the materials arc abundant and accessible, and the details would lie highly inter esting. The following particolarft of the early life of thin lamented officer, arc gathered from an authentic source. Captain lilakely wasboi* at Wilmington in North-Carolina, about the year 1783, and received the first rudiments ol his education at Fuyetteville. Here his parent* died when he was not more tlian It) or 13 year* years of age. Kdward Jones, Ksq. Solicitor General of that state* a gentleman who has in ma< ny instances distinguished himself by his sagaci ty in discovering merit in youths " to fortune and to fume unknown," and by his liberality in fostering their genius and conducting their edu cation, became the patron of young lilakely.?

About the middle of March Inst, the wife of Doc tor Abel Watkins of Middlebury in New-York, < died oh was supposed, of a fever; in conseqencft of which he prevailed upon Mr. Kit Perry, an in* timate friend of his, to move with his family to his house to tuke care of Ida children. Oil Dm evening of the 29th of March, Mr. Perry wa* taken very sick with the cholera morbus, a<?

Dr. Watkins attended hiin the remainder of thu night, nml on Monday Perrv died. Suspicion imineilintely arose that Watkins had poisoned his wife and Mr. Perry for the sake of Perry'o wife $ the suspicion arose from their symptoti* being similar, and some other trivial circumstan ces, it at length became a topic of public con versation, and Watkins was ndviscd to have tlio bodies of the deceased taken up and examined hv a jury of physicians to satisfy the neople and clear his o\\ n character. Accordingly on Fri day the 3th April, >nst. the people assembled/*1 together with lour teen physicians, ami the body of Mr. Perry Nvaa taken up and examined, and there was found in his stomach some mineral substance which by its having greatly corroded the stomach gave the physicians great reason to believe it was arsenic. After many chemical experiments it was ascertained almost to a cer tainty that it was arsonic. Watkins had. viously acknowledged ho purchased arsenic of Dr. Sheldon for a certain man, but could Hot tell his name, nor where he lived, but the nthn difl not call for it and he gave it to his neighbor's dog, (which is yet alive.)?WatkinsJfJw inform cu <>I uio report 01 mo pnysictafWtfpl Saturday morningbefore day, and shortly after was mis sing, the alarm was given j Hi day light, lie wo a round about 15 rtMOTrptft jlis bonne suspended by tho neck to a Mppllnn about two ineluM IthrouflmmAteg** part or his l>ody and hishamh e ground and on examination lie wa < lie dead.
