AMHERST ResourrioNs —At a legal Town Meet ing held at Amherst on the 3d day oflinuary, 1814, to see whether the town, in the present alarming state of our public concerns, would take any measures to redress the wrongs which we suffer, and ward off the great evils which impend over us, under the present system of embargo, taxation, and oppression of the General Government, Noath Webster, Esq. WAS chosen Moderator, and the following Resolutions and Votes passed, viz.: " Resolved, as the sense of this Meeting, That the . . political affairs of this country have arrived at an alarming crisis, which not only justifies, but demands a full and decided expression of the sentiments of the people. and particularly hi the Northern States. " Resolved, That the people of this commonwealth, in acceding to the constitution ci the United States, expected, as they had a right to expect, and to claim from the General Government, that they should enjoy the benefits which are declared to be the objects of Fe deral Compact, viz. To form a more pertect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, pro vide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of libetty to our selves and our posterity.' Unfortunately, the mea sures of the Genital Government, fur a number of years past, have, in our apprehension, tended to citun tenet and defeat every one of the above stated objects. Instead of confirming the Union, they have alienated the affections of the people, thestrongest bond of union between the several States, and have introduced enmity, jealousy, and discord among the citizens. Instead of lustia the people have witnessed the foulest par ialitics in di -peasing favours, and the emoluments rf she Go vernment—in sacrificing commer. e to the views of the dominant party—and attempting to fester one branch of business at the expence c f others ; and in multiplied acts of of prcssion committed by the mili tary power. If our domestic tranquility has not been interrupted by insurre ns, yet the patty spirit which has been nourished has planted the seecis of animosi tr and d scord, impaired private confidence and so cial armony, and cerritpted the elections to an alarm ing degree, thus gradually undermining the founda tion orour Governments. " Resolved, as the sense of this Meeting, That the alledged reasons for declaring war were, at no time sufQcient to jusify a measure which is necessarily at. tended with immense evils, public and private—but since the repeal of the British Orders iu Council, and the repeated offers of the British Government to set tle the question of impressment upon fair and equi table principles, we consider the continuance of the war as destitute not only of right, but even of pretext. Under this persuasion, we consider it as a sacred duty to ourselves and our country to withhold, as far as legally practicable, all supplies for maintaining the war. All that the Government can expect from men who conscientiously believe the war to be as unjust as it is calamitous, is, that we shall not resist its Of - cers in taking from us our hard-earned property. 44 Resolved, That the system of treasure& adOpted and pertinaciously pursued by the General' Govern ment for a number of years past, in opposition to the best interests of the Commercial States, an expensive end sanguinary war, to obtain. what is evidently not attainable—a war begun in rashness, folly, or wick edness ; eott4octed with weakneks, and with an enor. 44 : 94 f.tzMIditure 9( money : .' an oppressive had of silsta:asto. at she eery. inotpeni that cite wavy is 'tripped of the ;neaps of paying ,thetn--sthese aad, other evils, too nomeroies to be recited, far ont.werie Hthe benefits derived tb these Sta l es from the Onion. itherto we have borne the public evils with some degree of patience, in expectation that madness and folly would have an end. We would still bear these and greater evils, could we believe that our rights, liberties, and independence demanded the sacrifice; but the more we observe the temper and disposition of the dominart party, the more fully are we persuaded that all our hopes are vain. Nor can we persuade our selves that, even if this war were terminated, the con. tending interests and opinions of the different sections of the United States would not deprive the commercial States of the blessings which the Union was intended to secure. But whatever may be the fate of the Union, to the laws of which we have been and shall continue to be faithful, while it exists, we hold it a solemn duty we owe to ourselves and our country, to discountenance this iniquitous, unnatural, and destructive war. If Resolved, That the Representatives of the town, in the General Court, are desired to use their in fluence to induce that Honourable Body to take the most vigorous and decisive-meisures, compatible with the Constitution, to put an end to this hopeless war, and to restore to us the blessings of peace. What measures it will be proper to take, we pretend not to prescribe ; but whatever measures they shall think it expedient to adopt, either separately or in conjunc tion with the neighbouring States, they may rely upon our faithful support.

We have had the honour to have the Emperor of Austria here since the 2.3 th ; his Majesty having thought it advisable to be nearer the army of the South. in case the communication between this and the Grand ,irmy should be cut off by the movement of Napoleon towards Langres. His Majesty received the keys of Lyons, which Marshal Augereau eva cuated in such haste, that our troops could not over take him.

PROCLAMATION OF TUE GENERAL COUNCIL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE SEINE, AND OF TILE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OF PA:IIS. " INHABITANTS OF PARIS! —Your Magistrates would be traitors to you and the country, if the), out of any personal views, any longer suppressed the voice of their conscience. This voice exclaims to them, that you have to attribute all the evils that overwhelmed you to one man. It is be who every year takes away to the conscription a tenth pact of your families ; which of as has not lost a son, a bro ther, a relation, or a friend ? For whom did all these brave men die ? For hini akne--not for their coun try ! Wherefore ? They are sacrificed, absolutely sactificed to eternize the memory, the madness, of the most dreadful Tyrant that ever oppressed the human race. 44 It is he who, instead of 400 millions which France paid under our good and ancient Kings, to be free, happy, anl uauquil, has bur thenefr it with 1590 millions, which bitrthen he even -threatened to in crease. It is he oho has shut against ns the seas of both hemispheres; who has annihilated all the sources of national prosperity—has torn the cultivators from our fields, the workmen from our manufactories: to him we are indebted for the hatred of all nations, without having merited it ; since we, as well as they, have been more the unhappy victims than the sad in struments of his rage. 44 Is not he the man who, contemning every thing men hold sacred, has kept in prison the venerable Head of our religion ? Is it not he who, by a detest able piece of treachery, robbed a King, his ally, of his dominions, and delivered the Spanish nation, an ancient and faithful friend, to the horrors of devasta- tion ? Is it not he who has brought the enemy to the very door of his deceived subjects, after having just refused an honourable peace, in which our country might at least have taken breath awhile ? And did he not, lastly, give the scandalous orders to the Na. tional Guard, uselessly to expose itself to an impos sible defence of the capital, upon which capital he thus invoked all the vengeance of the enemy? of Finally, is it not he, who, fearing nothing so much as truth, bas contemptuously, before the eyes or all Europe, driven away our Legislators, because they once •entured to tel) him the truth, with equal .rpoderation and dignity h—What does it signify, that :he has sacrificed a small. number of persons to his :am►bition or, personal revenge, when he has sacrificed Francem—gruce, do we .say ?, A Europa—to bis ambition I Ambidon or revenge, that is indilllkent. Be it as it may, behold the consequences of it : see the whole Continent of Europe every where covered with the mingled bones of Frenchmen nild of people who had nothing to demand of each other ; who did not hate each other, whose remoteness fri..m each precluded all differences, and whom he alone his plunged into war, in order to fill the world with his name. " Why should we be told of his past conquests What good have they done us i The hatred of other nations, the mourning of families, the constrained ce libacy of our daughters, the untimely widowhood of our wives, the annihilation of all riches, the despair of parents, who, out of a numerous progeny, have not a single child left to close their eyes—this is what we have got by his conquests. It is these which, now within our own walls (which under the paternal pro tection of our Kings were never conquered) animated the foreigners with courage, whose generous protec tion demands our gratitude, while we delight in offer ing to them a disinterested alliance. There is not one of us who does not in his heart detest him as a public enemy ; not one, who in his secret thoughts has not often wished to see an end put at length to so many needless cruelties. " We should be traitors to the public cause, if we hesitated to declare the wish of our hearts and of yours. " Europe in arms invites to it : it asks it, as a be nefit to humanity—as a pledge of general and dura ble Peace. People of Paris!—Europe in arms should not oh. tain of your Magistrates this wish, it it did not coin cide with'their duties. " But it is in the name of those very ditties, and indeed of the most sacred of them, that we forswear all allegiance to the Usurper, and return to our law ful Sovereigns. ig If it is dangerous to follow this impulse of the heart and the conscience, we submit to it ; history and the gratitude of the French shall preserve your names, and transmit them as an inhetitance to the veneration of posterity. ' Resolved, The General Council of the Depart ment of the Seine, and the Municipal Council of Pa- ' ris, voluntarily assembled, decl.tre with the unanimity of all the Members present, that they solemnly re nounce all obedience to Napoleon Bonaparte ; that they s lemnly desire that the Monarchial G',vern ment may be testoted in the person ut Louis XVIII. and hts lawful successors. Resolved, That this Declaration, and the Pro clamation explaining the grounds of it, be printed at Paris, posted up, sent to all the Authorities remaining .it Pat is and in the Departments, and transmitted to the Municipal C9unctis in all the Departmitnts. Dane in the General Council at Paris, in the Tots Hall, April 1. (Signed) BADENIEK," &C. CONSTA::TINOI'I MAI2H 1. A strange event which took place here lately, and is )et but little known, will not fail to excite atten tion, an! the surprise which the abuse of force amon7 civilized nations always occasions. The mat ter in question is nothing less than a direct act of vi,,- lence by which the French Ambassador, General Andreossy, seized upon the Palace inhabited by the Austrian Embassy, under the eyes of the Turkish Government, and in contempt of the usagus establi shed by the Law of Nations. It is well known that the Palaces of the European Ambassadors lie in Pent, one of the suburbs of Con stantinople, and generally occupy a little enclosure of their ()an. Atter the Treaty of Campo Formic), the Austrian Embassy Sound itself in possession of two Palaces, the old Austrian Pal.lce, and that which had belonged to the Republic of Venice. The first WAS far less magnificent titan the latter, btu the situa tion was finer. It was intended at that time to sell the Ventth.n Palace, and enlarge and beautify the old one, belonging to the Internuncin ; but the Inter nuncio, Herb.t t Von Rutzkeae who was already old and sickly, was averse to this plan, and proposed to sell the Austrian Palace, and to remove to the Ve netian. This was done, and the Austrian Palace sold for 80,000 piastres. After the Peace at Ltme ville, France reclaimed the Venetian Palace, which was given up without hesitation. The Austrian Em bassy being now without any house at all ; negocia tions were set on foot to hire cow of the three which were now become the property of the French Go vernment, viz. the French, Venetian, and Dutch ; the choice fell on the last, and the new Internuncio, Ba ron Sturmer, actually removed to it with all the de partments attached to the Embassy, who, now, for several years rented this Palace ; at least, not long before the breaking ont of the last war, an agreement was made with the French Government to buy this palace, for which it had no use ; 100,000 piastres was the price stipulated, which however was not to be paid till after a certain time. Meanwhile the ge neral war broke out, and the payment was delayed. General Andreossy vehemently insisted on it ; but almost all Holland having been singe taken possession of by the French troops, and the Prince of Orange be ing placed at thelead of a new Government, and it cannot be determined at this moment who is and will remain the real owners of the Dutch Embassy at Pera, the payment could not be made, and the French Em bassy was requested to await the event of the war. —But General Andreossy took advantage of the ab sence of Baron Sturmer, the Austrian Internuncio, who was in the country, and of the indolence of the Turkish Government, hired a number of raggamuf tins and Janissaries, attackedahe palace and forcibly took possession of the house and all the furniture, even that belonging to the Internuncio. The confu sion, as may be supposed, was very great. The Im perial Internuncio immediately complaint . to the Turkish Government, and demanded satisiaction for this act of violence, which so much compromises the Idignity of the Porte ; but this Government avoided to king any decisive steps in the business.
