Already connected by the natural bonds of common descent, of common industry and virtues, you will.find the pledge of your durable pos terity in the strict conformity of your administration. Belgium, under the Government of the Serene House of Orange, under a system the most favourable to its conimerce, and with the preservation of its religion and measures, will soon be restored to its ancient lustre. Weir 'fine cities, Ghent, Bruges, Ostend, Antwerp, &c. the monuments of your national indus try, which languished in the late unhappy times, will again 'oval in industry and prospei ity the first com mercial nations. " People of Belgium !—The general interest of Eiirope destines you an enviable fate ; and the indis soluble union shall ensure its duration under the most ventrable guarantee that human power can give. ," Permit' me, after haviog struggled with you against adversity, to indulge a hope that you will sometimes remember me in the days 'of your prospe risy:''" (Signed) 48 Baron de Vocetir.

Arrived on Tuesday his Majesty's ships Orpheus and Florinda (late the United States sloop of war Frolic) from Bermuda, in 14 days. The American schooner Dominica, from Charles. town, bound to St. Bartholomew's is captured by the Majestic. She was formerly in his Majesty's service. Some days ago she fell in with the Ramillies, Cap min Sir T. Hardy, and another of his Majesty's ships, warmed enfiate, with troops on board, going into Shel burne, in company with the Spencer. HALIFAX, JULY is. On the 21st June the Rambler, a small vessel em ployed as a tender to his Majesty's -ship Nymph, an chored off the entrance of Boston harbour, for the purpose of capturing a beautiful vessel belonging to . the light-house ; she not being there, Mr. Goullet, the master's-mate, who commanded the tender, pulled up to President ROads in his vessel in chace.of a sloop, which running on shore, he boarded and set <oat srel . whilst this little band were. performing this service. Cthe tide ebbed, and left their vessel almost dry, and it was with difficulty they launched her ; all this time the United States' frigate Constitution was about two Miles, and the York privateer, not more than half # mile distant. 1 THE FOLLOWING LETTER WAS SENT IN BY A FISHING. BOAT TO THE EDITOR OF THE BOSTON PATRIOT : " SlB—His Majesty's ship. Bulwark, was at anchor six miles south of Seguin light, June 20. She sent her barges with 160 men, a brass 9-Sounder and a mortar for throwing shells, against the fort and s'aili,-,, ping at Wascasset ; they approached within three mile's of the fort, and commenced a brisk fire upon. she Militia who had collected on the shore, which ter. minated about three hours after, by the disComfitert the British, who then retaraed to the month of the fiver, landed (as we hear transiently) attacked a Company of militia artillery, and after two hours skir mishing, captured two field pieces, and returned with them to the barges, one of which they lost in getting it on board." . BOETON, JUNE 22. . • ... WAR OH THE MARITIME FRONTIKILA pima degree of alarm and many war movements, on paper at least, existed at the last date, on many of the branches of the Chesapeake. In these waters there is• a considerable British naval force, but...thailact Smother has not beep ascertained; at the entrance of the bay there is a 71, and other vessels, forming a ge• neral blockading squadron. In the upper waters, there is a British 74, (the Dragon, Captain Barrie ; ) two frigates, and a consi derable number of smaller vessels and craft, who are Opposed to the flotilla of gun-boats and launches which have been fitted out at Baltimore, &c. at the expense of 50,000 dollars, and commanded by Com modore Barney. This force was declared to have been fitted out for she pro tection of that city, and to be competent to its defence, but from some unexplained cause, this flotilla has got out of its latitude, and having left the Pltapsco, has run into the Patuxent, and car. i tied the war from Baltimore into one of the most federal counties of the State. The Maryland papers think this movement to be one of the pitiful artifices of the Administration, to make the federalists feel the pressure of the warthey abhor. In the Creek of Patuxent, Corn. Barney, was strictly blockaded by a frigate and some sloops of war. This flotilla, from which so much was expect. ed, and of which so much has been vapoured, being thus disposed of, the British boats and barges, have been trying, as Mr. Jefferson would say," how much harm they can do;" and if a twentieth part of the 'reports circulated of their doings be true, the poor people of the vicinity of the capital where the war was declared, find it a very " unprofitable contest"— The accounts state that the barges had proceeded to Benedict, about 15 miles from the Creek, where the blockading force lay, and where they continued for some time. It was at this place where Mr. Dorsey, whose state., ment appeared in the last Carried, met the British Commodore. As that Gentleman's account of events appear to be the most responsible, we continue his report of events. Be says, "The British loaded three barges from the schooner which was agrpund ) and conveyed it on board a privateer; that while waiting events near Benedict, he had the mortification to see a brig and a number of barges coming from St. Leonard's Creek for the evident purpose of saving the American mer chants the trouble of docking oat for shipping to carry their produce to market, by beComiog themselves the terriers of our tobacco to the fine, markets which the Vt state of the contest is likely to produce." alais, " If this tobacco is lost, the British will have taken front the public warehouses, on this expe dition, at least 1,750 hogsheads. I can form no opinion of the length of time necessary to load their brig, and am convinced, from the nature of the coun try, can only be resisted by artillery." He then hopes the President will order some heavy artillery, to prevent the brig from regaining St. Leonard's Creek. 1 He eoaelesies his letter of the 111th of Jane, say ' into:" You have no conception of the universal panic which prevails here. The replan who were sta tioned in Benedict lost a part of their baggage and provisions. Believing I can be of no farther service here, I shall return home," &c. The barges are said to have attempted to take Nottingham, where there were large public ware. houses, with tobacco In them, and which is only 24 miles from the Capitol, in Washington, but were de terred from their objeet by the accidental disehage of some heavy guns, then on their way to St. Leo nard's Creek. There are other aearents of similar events, but they are all probably the fabrications of news,makers. It is added, that the barges plundered • on both sides the river unmolested. They declared their orders to be to burn every home which was de- ' serted, or where they dock when ragweed from the army. Previsions they said they wanted, and wr:ul.4 have, by purchase or force. They burnt the public warehouses at Marlborough, thirteen miles from nedict, &c. Thus it appears, a contemptible force has carried the war to within a few how's march of Mr. Madi son's Palace, without any resistance, and this too in l a narrow Fiver, and after we have been two years at - war. The people call for the '• defence" ohich the Constitution declares the General Government shall give ffsern s and for whirl? . they have paid scores of ' itiilkons. Tray ask foriiriss, ar j n - mnnition',.and pro. visions and they arO.gpszeted tha(the Government troops are gone to take Canada j and if any succour is sent, it arrives after the corns/ has retired. - IIOSTON, JULY 1. In the Federal Republican of Wednesday, it is mea. tioned as the current riststoor at Washington, that the President, alarmed by tire approach of the Dinisb, had already packed up his valuable erects and papers, and. it is conjectured tbat be would soon be on the wind, but whether towards Montpelier or Carter! Mountain, no one pretended to decide. BALI4.44CCE, JUNE Si. load Lynch, with SilUO men of the regal it army, was at Witshington at the time the intelligence ar. rived bore of Commodore Barrie's blockade in Leo. nard Creek. This force was competent to afford pro tection against any that the British were able to bring against the at the mouth of the Patuxent. Instead of this, our provident Administration ordered them immediately off to Canada. A detachment of the British hive landed, and burnt the warehouses at the following places, via.— Lower Marlborough, Benedict, Cola, and Magru. den, containing full 4000 hogsheads of tobacco, This article may be estimated at SO dollars per hogshead. In this manner is the war eartied on. Our troops Leave our sea, bound for Canada, by orders of this Govetn went. Boston is precisely in the same state, the town is left to protect itself, oursea ports have been systema tically abandoned as if it were the intention of Go.. vernment to invite the enemy to lay them in ashes. President Jefferson, a long time since; informed us, that great cities were great forces ; but Mr. Speaker Clay thought the destruction of our seaports a matsee. of slight regard, as Kentucky afforded us a wilder• ness enough. President Madison appears to follow up these commendable ideas : such protection ova he afford to our sea-port towns. that the MOM.; the enemy appears, it is a signal for the troops in the seri, vice of the United States to depart. We ask if this had been a private understanding between the British Admiral and the President or the United States a the one to attack and the other to abandon our seaports at the same moment, if the President could have done this more effectually than he has already done I The United States frigate Gue: rere was launched at Philadelphia on Monday, the 20th instant. She is said.to be an elegant ship. CAPE ISLAND, (DELAWARE) JUNE 19. I would wish to inform you ttiat the Deleware is blockaded by a frigate, apparently.rated at S 6 guns. She came in here yesterday afternoon, bearing a white flag, and continued it up until near sun-set, when she hoisted an American ensign at the peak. and the Union Jack at thefore-top gallant-mast head. Her barges are at this moment up the Bay, making great slaughter among the shallops. Ilkileet sailed from Quebec on the 20th July, for ,England, under convoy of the Cintrauft, of 74 guns, the Motu* frigate, sod CYANIC sloop of war. The Nova Scotia Feneibkis arrived at Quebec from Newfoundland the 11th and 12th July.' The ffthregiment and the 82d arrived at Quelee from France the end of Jane, soda convoy at his Majesty'o ship Centaur, of 74 guns, Capt. White. The recent measures of the French Government for permitting the free exportation of corn from France, have given rise to disturbances in that country. The following is an account of some riots at Cherburglt from the above cause : " POOL, AUGUST 7. " Arrived three ships front Chrrhurgh, by one of them, the Fanny, Wu. 1.1, we learn that, throughout the whole of yesterday (the Fanny Left Cherburgh late last night), that place was in the greatest conks- Sion, owing to an Act of the State permitting the free exportation of Cora. A person, named Robbius. having made large purchases with a view to a ship. ment for this country, the people rose, and hxd pso. .seeded to acts of extreme violence. A regiment of aoldiers had been called out belottc the Fanny sailed. to quell the riot ; .but it was quite ineffectual.
