L 0 NI) (') N, TIIURSDAY, OCTOBER 29-, 1812. Empetor of France, every action of whose life has. demonstrated, that the attainment, by any means, of universal empire, ,and the consequent ew tinetion of every vestige of freedom, are the sole objects of his incessant, unbounded, and remorse less ambition. His arms, with the spirit of free men, w'e might openly and fearlessly enconn ter ; but,' of his secret arts, his corrupting in-_ thience, we entertain g dread we can neither con- cicrer`nor conceal. It is therefore with the utmost distrust and alarm, that we regard his late prpfeB 7 .sions of attachment and love to the•Areric;an peck- plc, fully recollecting, that, his invariable course has . heen, by perfidious offers of protection, by deceitfUl professions of friendship, to lull his in tended victims into the, fatal sleep. of confidence and security, during which, the chains of des- PPtisin are silently 'wound round and rivetted On Resolved, That :we are firmly attached to the tThion of the. States, most conscientiously believ ing, that on its preservation, the future peace, se curity, and independence, as well as power and . grandeur of the American nation, must mainly depend ; and we are therefore strengthened in our reprobation of the measures of our present rulers, from a consideration of their evident tendency. to produce a dissolution of that union which we so warmly cherish. • . Whereas, in the opinion of this Convention, the dangers which seem to threaten the existence of the union have chiefly arisen from the prevalence .of a course of policy, by which the interests of the commercial states have been wantonly sacri ficed to local prejudices and state jealousies : and .whereas our minds are irresistibly impressed with .the conviction that a change of system is now ,demanded by the imperious law of self-preserva tion : Therefore resolvod, that to . effect . a purpose. so desirable, but .so ,necessary, as a change of our present rulers, the harriers of party, which separate men, differing not in principle but in name merely, ought to be throWn down, and every pbstaele removed which can prevent and impede the full and cordial co-operation of those who are actuated by the . same feelings,- and entertain the same sentiments. Resolved, That it be recommended to the friends of peace, liberty, and commerce, who are opposed to the present war, without distinction of parties, to assembleiu their respctive counties wherein such rneaings have not been already held,, and appoint Committees of .Correspondence and Conference, yvlio,.if.deeMed necessary hereafter, may meet in a,Convention, for the, purpose. of, explaining and comparing their sentiments, and conce - Aing a common plan of operation, having for its object .the restoration of peace to our degraded and of licted country.

T aterford. r.-1 Ciuliz, 1 Lisbon, 2 riuern sey, 2 Jersey, 2 Guttenbufgh, 1 Dublin. • 5/4 An idle "report was yesterday circulated that a French Bulletin had reached town, containing an account of another battle having been fought near MOscOw, 'which the RuSsians were defeated. NO such Bulletin has• been received,: but it is highly probable that another battle has been fought ; indeed, unless'. BUONAPARTE is disposQd to see his communication with Poland completely cut off, be must risque another action, Private 'letters from' Paris mention a. cireum 7 „ . stance to whiCh we can hardly give credit,' viz,. that two. thousand five hundred -workmen have been ordered to proceed from Paris,. to boild barracks for the 'reach troops in Moscow,. as BUONAPARTE intends - 4o pass the winter in that capital: Such a journey, atthis season of the year, would not be very practicable, even if the roads were open ; and, indeed, if . these 2,490 workmen were to arrive safely in Moscow, they would not, we should think, be able to proceed - very rapi,ily, in building barracks amidst the seve rity of a Ittissiim.winter. The language of the American Papers, at least of those which are supposed to speak the senti 4:lents of the American Government, are decidee.ly hostile. Indeed the. French - Party are now hegin nnig to throw off the mask,. \lnd to avow those principles which we have for years attributed t 0... them, hut ,which the Patriots in this country affected to think them incapable of entertaining• We have uniformly been of opinion, that the American Executive, acting under the influence (not to use a stronger term) of France, has long been determined upon a war with Great tritain, and ,we arc convinced that . nothing less than a total surrender of oar maritime rights would have . prevented hostilities. The Orders in Council, uotwitbstrnding the 'clamour made about them inthis country, were not the cause of the war; h-ey only afforded the pretext. The French party. in America seems to be really afraid of the mo deration of the British Government,. and therefore they advance pretensions which they know must, render the restoration of Peace impossible.. The; repeal of the Orders in- Council 'will uot satisfy them ; right of search must he given up, and our "naval ,superiority at once „rend6ed peifectlY nugatory ; nay, even then, we are not to have peace with AMerica until Canada be conquered In plain ErigliSh, America is to continue at war with Great Britain just as long,as it may suit the convenience of 131.0Z?APARTE. It remains to be seen 'CVliether the people of America, ivill Sub mit to be made the instruments Of the Cor sican Usurper ; whether they will 'sacrifice the commerce and• the best interests of their country, to gratify his restless and insatiable ambition. The miseries of the way ale already felt'in every part of:America. The merchant, the farmer, the ship-oWnef; and mariner, are all involved in equal distress„,.and they have the mortification of know ing that.-they are doomed to submit to these dis tresses, • not because the interest or the honour of their country may require the sacrifice, buf be cause it is the will aid pleasure of a foreign Tyrant, . Military dispatches were yesterday delivered at the Horse Guards from Lieutenant General Sir. JOHN SHERB-ROOK, commanding the forces in Nova Scotia. We have'seen a letter of the ith instant from Riga, which states, that out of 64 Prussian pri soners, who had been taken on yariOns occasions, ,200 had volunteered to serve in the German Le gion in British pay. The remainder were desirous of following them example, but regard for their friends on the. Continent determined them rather to continue prisoners. of . war. 'Upwards of 1000 Spaniards had deserted frciin ,the French arulic:s.-7- TheY were all on their way to Revel, Where they were to embark foe their own country, .to join their brethren . in arms. • The following - letter from. New Orleans, dated August 24,' contains a repetition of the report of the loss of the Southampton frigate, at the mouth of the Mississippi. We still trust that it will turn out to be unfounded " All is. bustle here in the military.way. • Since the morning aTeport has reached town that the _British haVe ta4en . possesSion Of o.n block-house' at Fort-St. Philip % near, the mouth of this river. The - Southampton frigate was cast away at the Ba lize,' and the Brazen sloop of war weathered the storm on the.lBth instant; and it is believed with their boats they have taken the abOve-mentioned positions,which were rendered entirely defenceless by thehurricane. It would be impossible to give you . a just description of the dreadful havoc'and me lancholy aspect of this ill-fated city. The hurri cane far surpassed any thing of the kind ever wit nessed-heretofore; for violence, and consequent destruction of property. 'Every house in the city is 1110: . 2. or less injured,—many were dashed to atoms ; hundreds of lives were lost in the river, and out of 60 vessels scarcely 6 are worth repair ing." 'The following letter received from Lord tries squadron, contains the. most recent intelligence, from Santander • - " His Majesty's ship Conqaestader.left Santander the 17th inst. Sir H.. Forum.' had received letk. ters from the head. quarters of the British army up to the 15th ; at that time Burgos had not fallen. Two 25-pounders, forty barrels of powder, and a proportion of shot; were to leaVe Santander, on the same day of the Compiestador sailing, for Burgos. The weather, was very unfavourable to the be siegers, but the troops continued healthy, and in .high spirits. The Congitestador left the following ships of war at Santander :—Venerable, 74, Dia dem, .64; Iris, 36 ; Lyra, 1S; and the Fox and Lwow. troop ships. The marines were well quar tered in the town." Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain - E. 13AT.TEN was sworn ' into the command of 'the Ship Princess Amelia,.conigned to Prince of . Wales Island and Ilis GraCe the Duke of RICHMOND has been hononred with a letter from - thentiNcE REGEL , T, expressive of his approbation of the whole of his conduct in Ireland: •It is said be has .also received an offer of the.Viceroyship of Ireland, if he should incline to continue at the head of the Irish Go vernment,'--,..(lrish Paper.) The foll Owing extract of a letter from a medi cal Gentleman at- Canton, shows the progress which Vaccinaticin has made amongst people more jealous of innovation than any other on the face of the globe: " CANTON, ArrAL 7, 1812.—1 am happy. to inform you, that my labours of Vaecination have now terminated ; the general - report- being, that it is now universally known, and confided in, and that the C;aineSe Value it so as to give money for it.

The tide rose at teith to a greater height on' Wednesday morning than it . has for some years, past, by which several holises at the foot of the Sheriff-Brae were inundated,' and received SOMe damage; the Ballast Quay was alsdbverflowed, and on the.receding, of the water, a part of the street sunk about a foot. At high water, there were, seventeen feet and a half on the bar, and twenty feet in the harbour, being a rise of about four _feet higher than the ordinary spring tides. The tide at Ey-emouth, on Wednesday last, rose to a , most extraordinary height, higher, indeed, than -has happened in the memory of the oldest inhabitant of the Thee. The banks for protecting the houses near the shore were completely destroy ed, and the water rushing in, did considerable da mageto the salt in the cellars, and the road along the beach is nearly washed away.

We are sorry to find that YOUNG, in his performance of Prosperoi gave a triumph to " the grauridlings" by ,pro nouncing aches as a monosyllable.-L—A shout of approbation was immediately raised, but it was ..the approbation of ignorance and foliv.—The word Was always used by our elder Writers, down to the tune of BUTLER and P.Rtoa, as a dis syllable, and the metre in the passage deliverer) oil this . occasion, which is as follows, absolutel3P' de mands it in that character " -111 rack thee with old erampsi Fill all thy bones With aches; make th..e roar, That beasts shall tremble at thy din."
