. Appropriate Celebration.
.+ NEW-HAVEN, JULY 10,
. Oa the 4th of July, the citizens of
New-Haven were gratified with an
exhtbition, which for novelty and pat
viot.fml, probably Rands unrivailed
inthe records of all preceding feltivals
onthis memorable day. -
- Ths farmers, (hepherds, mechanics
‘ardmarufadurers inCol Humphtey’s.
oW iy Lariag’ Heforebnad-folicited
to be ufefully occupied on this day, he
propoizd a ploughing mach, &c. and
had them afl:mbled at his farm in
Yorkthire Guarter abotit 3 4ths of a
mile from the statehouse.—Their em.
ulation was manifefled by the early
hour of their ‘appearance ca the
ground® . s
~Ar the dawn of day it a field, c£l3
actes,” marked outinto lands of one
acre each, fourteen ploughs' flarted
each in its own land, according to'its
number, each being drawn by one
-pair of horses, oxen or mules. Thé"
other four lands were ploughed by
the teams promiscuously, as they fin
ithed their own. The animals, bred
principally at the Humphreysville ef
tablifk ment,confifting of horses, oxen’
and mules, were generally' admired
for their beaunty, in particalar four
grey coits from the stock of Col. H.%s
elegant' Arabian horse Ranger.—The
land No. 7, was finifhed ploughing
before g o’clock §—The teams pafling
“and repafiing each other in quick fuc
ceflion, presented the most animated
pi@ure of the kind we ever witnefled
~—Whilft this was performing in one
fiekd, the axemen and carpenters were
felling, hewing and framing timber in
angther, for a (hepherd’s lodge, which
was ready to be raised before noon,
His clothiers, papermakers, cloth 'and
“flocking weavers had "during this
process prepared the boards and other
covering,which was put on by thé ap
propriate artificers with great dispatch,
the painters inflantly following them
with their brufhes.-—~At given signals,
the workpeople ceased from their la
bors, and refrefhed themselves from a
neighboring booth,ereéted and furnifh
ed for the purpose. ‘ln the vicinity of
the booth, a spot was cléeared by the
surplus hands for a sheep ‘walk, (to
protec them against winter florms)
of about 106 feet in ‘length—under
this bower a table was laid for 1452
persons. The dinner was principally
prepared hot on the'ground by;means
-of a portable ;Rumford Kkitchen.t
What added much to the beauty of
the general scenery was, the appear
ance of nameréus Merino and other
{heep interfpe:ftd - amongl . the
ploughmen. © This* flock had been
_brought from Humphreyfville to- eat
the grass before it was delftroyed by
the nloughs. Abcut 40 apprentices
“of the Humphreyfville: faétory, drefl
‘ed in neat and comely uniform, were
“employed in colle@ing materials for
manure and other agricultural oper
_ations. It cught to be remembered
that, although'many of these children,
belong to refpe@able families, yet {fome
of them have been rescued from the
most unfortunate situations. All were
busy without bustle ; each at his sta
tion co-operating without noise, “as if
- animated with the fame spirit. Befure
- half pakt 3 o’clock, all the procefles of
ploaghing, building, paintipg, &c.
were completed—the “ploughing had
been finithed, in a very fkillful man
“fier, two hours before this tie. At
the found of the horn, the work peg
ple, and a number of very refpedtable
~£armers re assembled at the booth, and.
_tefrethed themselves with a variety of
“excellent distilled and fermented li
‘Guors. From thence they were invi
“ted 1o fit at the table, which was well
furnithed with Merino mutton, beef,

Hence, therefore, npon an examina
tion of the views cf the belligerents, it
miufl be apparent, that we can obtain
no security except such as is dictated
by their. neceflities, or extorted from
their - fears. il
Under such circumf@tances.stherefore,
independent -of the generalre:foning
afforded by the fubja@, it muflt be
plain; that = whatever circum&ance
should . tend to produce an alliance
and place us. in the f[cale of either
party, would become one of the great
est calamities which could befal the
United Erates, i ! :
“We are soon ‘to show,/ that as 3

~On the 16th May, 1803{ less than
fourteen months from the {tranfitory
truce of Amiens, theking of England
informed his peers that lie pad order
ed his ministers to return fiom Paris.
Immediately afterwards'thé war was
revived, and all the injuries of the
preceding one renewed with addition
al agpravation. Irregular captures
and condemnations were incessant and
such was the- wanton boldness of im
preflmenty that they were made with

in the mouths of our harbours.

only intercepted our merchantmen
and imprefled onr mariners, but re
fifked the execution of our laws. At
this time,depredations,captures & im

country received an indignity; if pafi
ble, of a Rill deeper dye, which it was.
tolally impossible to brook without for-"
feiting every preteafion to natioaal
diguity and independence. - ©
The frigate Chesapeake, a public
veficl bearing the flag, and represen
ting the honor of the -United States,
deflined with supplies for tha litde
squadron in Mediterranean, while un
fufpicious of holtility, and, therefore,
wholly unprepared to mszet it, was
attacked by a far superior force, off
the capes of ' Virginia, four of our
mariners were forcibly imprefled, and
several killed and wounded. At the
fame time that the Britith were thus
pursuing the molt vislent, prodigirus
.and insulting de:predations upon our:
owa coasts; they equally violatad our
maritime and neutral rights abroad—
either an inflexible determination to
drag usinto the war, or an opinicn .
derived from our fleady pacific policy,
that we might be irjured with im
punity, encouraged an inceflant re
petition of outrages. Unwarranta
ble and'nominal biockades continued
to be proclaimed ; and on the zoth of
May 186, we were debarred from*
the principal protion of ths coast of
Edrope, by the irregular. blockade
extending from the moath of the Elbe
to the portof Brest. : ¢
. Whilc the Britith were proceeding
to every extreme of insult and oppref”
fion, France was not ina&ive in the
work of injury. She too continued
her system of spoliation, and contina.
ed to harrafs our commerce with
the fame disregard to the law of na
tions which she had evinced in the
former war. | |
On the 19th of July, 1803. {he pas:
{ed a decree inliibiting neutrals from
carrying ioto her ports any goods
that were of the growth or manufac
ture of England or her colonies. But
we shall wave the consideration of in.
ferior orders and decrees, which only .
went to the abridpement of commerze,:
and requelt your critical attention to
those prominent and decisive a@ls which
totally defiroved it. Aéts which len

The firlk of these violent decrees,
then io order of time, was on the part
of the Frenche It passed at Berlin on
21t of November, 1806, and by one
universal {weep declaring all the
Britith islands in 2 state of blockade,
prohibited commerce and correspon
dence with them, Pkt
‘The next was a Britith “order of
January, 1807, which in effe@ pre
vented us not only from re exporting
the produd&ts of French colonies
though bona fid: purchased on our
ewn account, to French f)q!rts, b'ut‘
also to proceed from one Britith ene

.~ But the decisive edi® of Great-
Britain, which swept away, like a be

Order of her Privy Ceuncil of Nov.-.
11, 1807, by which all trade dirzfzly
from. America to eery port -and
country of Europe at war with Great-
Britain or from which the Bririth flag
is excluded,was fotally probibited. This
probibition embraced, in fa&, every

17 is apparent that under these .
clathiny orders and decrees, there was
a complete termination, not only to
the freedom, bur to the exifflence of
our grade, Mealires so violerit were

they could not engage us in the war
bythe impuife of persuasion, to drive
“uginto it by coercion.:
/ We haveonly to take the -Novem.
-ver orders and the Milan decree in
connection with each other diftinétly to
preceive that no chsiezor chanceof trade
was lett us. Intercourse with almolt
the whole civilized world was closed,
and the little, comparatively worthless
pittance that remained open fubjefted
our property, improvidently ventur.
ed, to merciless and irremediable
pitacy. We could not procedd to
Great Britain or her dependencies in. -
asmuch as the Berlin decree pro.
claimediit to be unlawful. We
could not proceed.to the continent of
Europe, without having entered an
Enghifh port, and paid a contribution
there, unless we braved the rigor of
the conlequences of the November
Orders ; and to have complied with
those orders, and paid an Englifb lax,
taking a permission or clearance from
their government, would have' been if
Poffeble, Rill superior folly ; for it would
have béen a wvoluntary surrender to
inevitadle condemnation. In short,
there was no chance for submission,
because submission to the one party
must have infallibly involved us in
hostility with the other. ‘Thus no
manner of alternative rewizined be
