We have it from good authority, that THE PRESIDENT of the United States has lately dispatched Capt. Guion, formerly of the American Artillery, to Canada, to inquire of Lord Dorchester, whether he has orders to surrender to the United States, the Posts within the territory thereof, now garrisoned by British forces; and if he has not, that he write to Europe, that he be immediately furnished therewith. This intelligence-- if authentick--of which we have not a doubt, must give great satisfaction to the people of the United States, who have too long lamented that the weakness of their government subjected them not only to a national indignity, but to a very great loss in their fur and other trades, In the potent arm of the Executive they now rest their hope.
