Prnßi&enre,
TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1810.
Aepounte from every quarter of New-
England give a meat luminous description of
the celebration of the 4th of July. Prepa
rations for this event have occupied all at
tention, as nothing else of the least impor
tance has transpired within our own coun
try, nor any intelligence from Europe to
change the face of events. No accounts
of General Armstrong’s departure from
France have been received since the arvi
val of the John Adams. Perhaps the
Gcpferurs spunk may evaporate in smoke.
Nothing comes from the seat of Govern
ment that can In the least give decision or
dissipate the obscurity which envelopes
our national affairs. What course adminis
tration will pursue is wholly conjecture
and opinion.
We this day present to eur readers, the
Prokpectus of a work, entitled, M Memoirs
of the War in the Southern Department of
the United States,” by a distinguished
officer in the American army. The his
torical facts of that glorious war are gene
rally known; but the authour, we are in
formed, has opened a new field of narra
tive, which cannot fail to make his work
highly valuable and interesting. By deli
neating, with impartiality, the moral and
political characters of ” those who served
their country with leal, fidelity and suc
cess,” be has supplied a great desideratum
in the literature of our country. While
we are familiarly acquainted with the suc
cessfal exploits of every campaign, the
merit of those officers who directed the
storm of battle, is almost forgotten, their
biography unknown. Of even the second
officer in the American army, great and
splendid as were bis achievements, no bi
ography has yet been given to lhe world
at all worthy of the subject! Wq there
fore hope that a work containing so many
examples of illustrious so many bi
ographical anecdotes, and historical facts,
will receive the sealous patronage of the
publick, inasmuch as the expense of pub
lication, we understand, cannot be encoun
tered without a liberal subscription.

A letter received in this town from Li

late been drawn to the depravity and de
structive tendency of those Wl)oO) satsn has
raised to dominion and to rule among us.—
On the 4lh of July I visited Providence
once more, and perhaps for the last «inW,
to join in the celebration of my country's
birth-day. My feelings were pure as
thought, my contefopJations leaned only to
my country's welfare. 1 Well remember
ed the -day we celebrated, when every
heart was ready to bleed In defence of
right and to repel the aggressions of British
insolence- But al«S! how changed. In*-
stead of union andogincidence of sentiment,
fo my surprise, my fellow-citizens
divided. The chain which formerly bound
them together had been riven asunder!
and instead of American patriots, in union.
I saw s|b« impkmrirty of barkdriry, the
emblems of fgnbthhdf, anil a procession
of men, whose very countenances betrayed

ism said I—-the same pure spirit which in
stigated those fanatteks to such deeds of
bloodshed, and raised up a harlot, conse
crated the goddess of reason. They united
in secret and paraded under the name of
liberty. They were led by men whom hell
would blush to own, and whose deeds pos
terity will consider mere bug-bears to
frighten, or fictions to deceive. In the
same path," and in the same steps walk
these modern patriots, whose boast is en
lightened freedom. In Viewing tbeir pro
cession I saw nothing to admire; but my
soul recoiled at the sight of tbeir toma
hawk ; my heart’s blood curdled when I
read the import of tbeir emblems. Good
God, thought I, are these men or devils
in human shape ? They surely present an
epitome of man's depravity. Some I know
were convicts, many were turies in “ those
days which tried men's souls,” and others
had been pardoned after forfeiting their
lives to the offended laws of their country.
Deists and Atheists were without number,
and no species of vice might not have
found its chief. I pitied while 1 feared
them. After viewing the procession as It
passed me, my eyes lighted on a man who
1 knew waa the Goveruour of the State.—
Like a true Indian he was decorated with
trinkets, and carried in bis hat the mark
of his identity. I drew back with surprise
and blushed for my native State. I k.tew
him before ; yet thought he would wish
to keep the shadow of virtue. His blud
geon foreboded evil, malignity was seated
on his brow, and really he seemed to re
joice in his ways. Once or twice I thought
I saw a glimmer of “ honesty” and con
fusion, but I found his colour had another
cause. And will, thought I, the people
bear this and again cover such vile de
formity with the mantle of power. He is
known and shunned—my neighbours shall
know this. I have told what 1 saw, and
they disbelieve me. Now, gentlemen, be
so good as to tell the truth, that their eyes
may be opened and they turn from their
wickedness and live-
