The Prefidtnt of the United States having required a draft of fiqeen thotifand fix hundred and thirtyfive men, as the quota of Pennfylvania. towards a detach ment of one hundred thoufand militia—the Governor battens to perform the duty which the Conttitution and the Laws have affigned to him, with all the fen ftbility and zeal that the occafion is calculated to infpire. After a lapfe rf more than thirty years, the honour, the liberty, and the independence of the union, are again at flake upon a comet, with the fame power, over whole arms and ambition 'the patriots of Ame rica triumphed in the war of 1776. The refources • of pattintilm and valour, which were then employed, to ellablith our exiaence as a nation, moll now, therefore, be difplayed, in order to preferve it. The facred troll delcends upon the lons of our revolu tionary heroes and flatelmen. It is for them, at the prefent crifis, to embalm the memory of the many' who are dead—o 2 enliven the declining days of the few who furv;ve ; and, in fhort, to dcferve the inhe ritance prepared for them. While the glory of t a e revolution excites a lauda ble emulation, the ju(lice of our caufe will give con fidence to every effort, for relenting unprovoked in fiat, and repelling unexpe9ed aggreffion. The memorable Declara.ion of Independence had placed the people of Great Britain on the fame footing with the people of every other country—" as enemies in war, as friends in peace ;" and from the moment, that the treaty of 1783 terminated the revolutionary conflia, it became the duty, and it has been obvioufly the deistic of the American Government, to preferve an harmonious intercourfe between the two nations. But a far different policy kerns to have aftuated the Government of Great Britain. It would be difficult to trace in their conduit many instances cf good will; while the indications of wounded pride, of arrogant power, and of political as well as commercial jea loufy, are every where to be teen. It mull be re membered that even the faith of the treaty of peace was long difregarded ; that our feamen have been cruelly umpreffed, abufed, and flaughtered ; that la wlefs fpnliations. committed on our commerce, have cnriched the &kith navy ; that the jorifdiaion of our coati has been violated, and its harbours, in effea, blockaded ; that our towns and territory have been aaually menaced ; and that the rights of neu trality, founded upon the law of nations, have been arbitrarily lubverted for (joiner and felfith purpofes. In the confummation of there outrages (accumulating year after year) we behold at length, a premeditated, a dire& infult to the Rag of the Union. For, while peace exilled and friendship was profetred, a public (Lip of war of the United States has been attacked and fubdued by furprile ; many of her crew were killed and wounded ; and four of them (native Ci• tizens of America) have been forcibly feized and carried away. This is not the cafe of plundered property ; of private wrong ; or of doubtful jut ifdie• tion ; which may admit of pecuniary reparation, or of diplomatic arrangement ; but it is the cafe of public war, treacheroufly waged under the fanaion of a Br kith commiflion : and every ball fited by the Leopard at the Chefopeak, inflias a wound upon the heart of every American. If the Government of Great Britain has inferred (tom our love of peace, an indifpofition to war, upon any provocation, they will be undeceived by the vigour and fortitude of the Federal Adminiltration, who justly ettimate the honour of the nation to be more precious, even than its peace. If the Govern ment of Great Britain has imagined, that our domef tic diffentions on political questions, have deltroyed or impaired the national unity, in relation to foreign countries ; the opportunity has alrea.'y occurred, to learn, that the patriotifm of Ametica, when drawn into 'talon by foreign outrage, is of all parties ; and conflitutes the pride and fafeguard of our Govern ment,by whomfoeverourGovernment ir adminittered- If the Government of Great Britain, viewing our Citizens only occupied with the arts of peace, without a Banding army, or a permanent navy, to meet, at once, the exigencies of war, have thought, that we may become an cal . '', as well as a lucrative conquell to their arms ; let them ferioufly reflect upon the exploits of our militia darirg the former comet}, and the exemplary fpit it now manifelled by our brethren of N rrfolk and Hampton ; let them candidly elii mate the maritime charaaer recently difplayed, in our hollilities with France and with Ttipoli ; and let them calculate the refources of our population, in dultry and enterprize, to convince them, that (how ever we may fuffcr in the onfet) we have nothing to apprehend from the ;dirk. With this view of our fituation, although hope Stay (fill be indulged of an adequate atonement by amicable means, it would be folly to poftpone our prep:tuition*, for the hit appeal of an injured and indignant nation. The Governor, therefore, con& deotly relies upon the co-operation of the Militia and Voluweers of Pentifylvania, to give the mon prompt and efficient execution to the requifition of the Prefi dent of the United States. And the Adjutant Ge neral is particularly charged with the meafures ne ctflary to organize the gotta of the Rate, conform ably to the following plan : r. There (hall be forthwith drafted from the Militia, in the wanner prefcrihed by law, *5,635 officers and privates, to be for med torn 2 divifions, c brigades, and .r VrOuntceri, accepted by the Prctilrot of the United States, 67 h. r unetr thc At of Congrefs of April tB, 1806. or the Ad of c,, g , e ‘ o f the 24ih February, will be conGdered as fublti tut.s for the wi.ole. r for any Darr, or the quota, on notice of the t oder of their • ..e• to the (;.,y ermr .

The quotas of the feveraldivifions of the Rate Bali be forme , ' into two divifions fur the indent fervice.

As boon as the drafts are made, the men mall be muttered and infpedted ; the mutter and infpection returns Mail be made to the Adjutant-General, who will, without delay, trauftnit copies to the Secretary at War. When the detachment and organization (hall be effedted, the re fpedive corps will he ezercifed under the officers fet over them.— Drafted Militia by their proper officers.

But the corps (either of drafted Militia or of Volunteers) will not remain embodied,nor be coefidered as in afloat fervice, by fuhfcquent orders, they are directed to take the field.

'l'hefe letters flak, that the difference between the Chinefe and the Btitifb had not been accommodated; that the Viceroy adhered to his demand of reparation, to which the EnglA Commandant would not accede; ►hat the chief of the Britifh fadoty had determined to fend the (hips to England with that part of their cargoes which was then on board, and which was not more than would ballalt them. That the bufinefs in American and country (hips went on as ufual ; and that the Americans were confidered in the molt favoured light by the Chinefe.—Po'. keg. NORFOLK, JULY tB.—Lail evening an exprefs ar rived at head quarters to the Commander, Genera! Matthews, from Captain Shepherd, of the troop of cavalry Rationed rear the Cape. The intelligence the exprefs brought is of great importance ; it an. Bounces the firil aft of retaliation fur the outrage; of the !Midis fquadron. The Jubilance of the intelligence, as far as we are informed, and our information may b,: relied on, is, that a boat with five men, viz. two midlhipmen and three failm s, was teen to land on Thu' fday evening, on the eatt fide of the iulet : the people came on fhore, and were flied at by a detachment of Militia under the command of a Lientenant from Kempf ville. They retreated and took refuge in the woods. Information having been given to Captain Shephard of the place to which they had retired, it was imme diately furrounded. In the morning they were dif• covered, and furrende'ed thenifelves prifroers with out relitance. Ihe boat and arms on Board of her have been taken poffeffion of ; and the men are now prifuners at Mr. Lemuel Cornick's, waiting the or- ders rf the General. We are authorifed to nate, that in confequence of information received that the Nita fquadrnn had departed from Hampton Roads, and had taken a nation elf our Capes, the Executive have fufpended their march to Hampton of the 500 militia ordered out from General White's brigade. They have been permitted to return to their refpeetive homes, with orders to hold themfelres in r ea di ne f s to take the field at a moment's warning.

It has been hated in feveral papers, that Mr. Ertkine was at Wathington when a difcuffion relative to the team. n tonic place between Mr. Maddifon and that Minilter, who had contented to wave all claim to them. Mr. Ertkine, we are well inf-tmed, denie, that his opinion was ever :liked, or that he ever gave any upon the fobjeet, and we mot cover underhand that he has expracd a with that the report flviuld be contradicted. We notice this merely with a view to prefent a correet flatement of falls, for we never look to but one point in this cafe, and which is, that under no circumflance whatever, fh .uld a neional fhip be vili:ed, or her crew mu:tered, but by her own officers.

CANTON, •DATED MARCH 22. 1807. "A difagreeablecircumfiance has recently occurred here. A party of featnen from the Neptune being on !bore on the 23d and 24th ult. a quarrel took place between them and lime Chinefe, in which Come fea men from other (hips, both Engin and American, were alto concerned. and Come on both fides were (lightly hurt. Nothing ferious was conceived to have taken place until two or three days atterwardi, when it was flitted, that a Chinefe had died in confequence of his having been (truck by an European. Still, however, it was fuppofed the matter would pars over without any inconvenience, through the medium of a pecuniary negociation ; but the circumftank hair. ing very foon come under the cognizance of the Viceroy. a demand was made, that the man who had caufed the death of the Chinefe thould be delivered up for the purpofs of his being examined. It was in vain urged, that it was impoflible to dircover the man who had (truck the blow : the Chinefe took it it into their heads, that we knew who the man was, but refufed to deliver him up, and, ailing upon this fuppofition, they firlt (lopped the Ihipments to the Neptune, and, on the 4th of March,. all other trade with the Company's thips. In confequence of this (tep feveral conferences have taken place between the inferior Mandarins, the fupercargoes, and Captain ROLLES, of the Lion ; letters have been alto written by the latter, and by the Committee to the Viceroy. which were at fir( refufed to be received, but which were at length received in confequence of• Captain RoLLES fending an officer to demand an audience of the Viceroy. The audience, however, was refufed, and to the letters only verbal anfwers trtve been re. turned, demanding the man. The replies to this demand have again Rated the impoffibility of finding the man who actually (truck the blow ; and have ftated, that no efforts of the Chinefe Mould induce the Englilh to deliver up an innocent man. The affair at prefent remains in this (late. The Chinefe, however, are only Wile to the Englifh Company, the trade of foreigners and of country (hips not being molefled. The Government of Canton kern at a lots how to act ; their demand cannot poffibly be com• plied with on our part, whilft there are tome circum fiances in their conduct which they think will not meet with the approbation of their own fuperior Go vernment. Two days ago they offered to permit the other (hips to take in their cargoes and depart, the Neptune only to be detained until the Emperor thould fignify his pleafure: this, howevei. was cou pled with inadmiffible demands, and was refufed." ST. DOMINGO. The Philadelphia Gaza . te received yefterday contains the fobitance of a Report made 'o CHRIS rortst, re- Imive to the late Expedition to Gonaives. It was as follows : " The city of Gonaives had for a long time been the centre and rendezvous of the emiffaries of the rebel Petiqn. It was from this new Coblentz, that fome of his partizans under the ridiculous denomina tion of friret do poll (brethren of colour), kept up a correfpondence with Pot t-au Prince, and acquainted the enemy with every movement of our army. The fudden and neceffx►y arrea of Come of there cnnfpi rators teemed to have intimidated the remainder, and arrested the progrefs of the evil ; but it was only a temporary calm. His Excellency, the Prefident of Hayti, had fcaicely left that place, for the purpofe of fuppreffing fume infutreCtionary movements at Gros Moyne, when an expedition of 16 or 17 fail, in which we noticed feveral American veffels, appeared before Gonaives on the 28th of May, having on board a number of troops ready for difembarkation. General Magny, who commanded the place, defend ed it obstinately with a garrifun of only 6o men, cut his way through the revolters, after having filled the streets with their dead bodies, and retreated with his men in good order to Pangaudin, at the difiance of a league and a half, where he remained for a week without the revolters having ever dared to attack hint, or to pats the limits of the city. 66 His Excellency was no Conner made acquainted with this hate of 'things, titan he direited General Magny and Colonel Jaiim to diflodge the rebels, and drive them into the tea. This order was no Conner given than executed. Our troops with a manly con fidence entered the city—the revolters, panic 'truck, fled without ever pretending to make any refittance, and evacuated the city in diforder, ran precipitately to two forts, which they had ereeed and put in a (tate of defence on the lea (bore ; but neither their works or their cannon, nor even the veffels which they had drawn up to proteEt them, could fhield them from the attacks, or ri.prefs the ardour of our brave foldiers. After a cannonade of three days, (from the 7th to the 9th of June), during which a great number of the rebels were killed, they were forced to evacuate the place entirely on the night of the loth, leavicg the Ihore covered with the dead, dying, and wounded.

The Charlotte was ordered on die 13th infant to leave Elfineur immediately by the Admiral of the Britith fleet. There were in Elfineur Roads 17 fail of the line, betides friga'es, flops of war, and tranfports. The tranfports weighed anchor on the evening of the t 3th, and hauled in lh're between the towns of Copenhag-n and Elfineur. Captain S. was informed by an officer belonging to one of the Britifh men of war, that the next morning the troops were to land between Copenhagen and Elfineur, and that a part of the men of war were to cover the landing ; the remainder of the fleet were to proceed to Copen hagen to take poffeffion of the Danifh fleet. Captain S. Rates, that when about fifteen miles from Elfineur, a heavy cannonading began about two o'clock P.M. on the t4th, and be heard the firing till he was forty miles below Elfineur ;—at that time it was eight o'clock in the everting. At four o'clock P.

On the 15th, at nine o'clock P. M. this guard (hip was engaged with an Englith man of war, in the Cattegate, about tw3 hours, and was taken. Captain Swoan adds, that the Danes were determined to oppofe the landing of the Britifh troops as long as they could." K YARMOUTH, AUGUST jr, " This morning arrived the 10 of this port, Capt.
