IMPORTANT, From the City of Washington. [Received by last Evening's Mail.]
President's Message.
To the Senate and House of Representatives, of the UNITED STATES.
CIRCUMSTANCES, Fellow-Citizens, which seriously threatened the peace of the country, have made it a duty to convene you at an earlier period than usual. The love of peace, so much cherished in the bosom of our citizens, which had so long guided the proceedings of their councils, and induced forbearance under so many wrongs, may not ensure our continuance in the quiet pursuits of industry. The many injuries and depredations committed on our commerce and navigation upon the high seas, for years past, the successive innovations on the principles of public law, which have been established by the reason and usage of nations, as the rule of their intercourse, and the umpire and security of their rights and peace, and all the circumstances which induced the extraordinary mission to London, are already known to you. The instructions given to our ministers were in the sincerest spirit of amity and moderation. They accordingly proceeded, in conformity therewith, to propose arrangements which might embrace and settle all the points in difference between us, which might bring us to a mutual understanding on our neutral and national rights, and provide for a commercial intercourse on conditions of some equality. After long and fruitless endeavours to effect the purpose of their mission, and obtain arrangements within the limits of their instructions, they concluded to sign such as could be obtained, and to send them for consideration, candidly declaring to their other negotiators that they were acting against their instructions, and that their government therefore could not be pledged for ratification. Some of the articles proposed might have been admitted on a principle of compromise, but others were too highly disadvantageous, and no sufficient provision was made against the principal source of the irritations and collisions which were constantly endangering the peace of the two nations. The question therefore whether a treaty should be accepted in that form, could have admitted but of one decision, even had no declaration of the other party impaired our confidence in it. Still anxious not to close the door against friendly adjustment, new modifications were framed, and further concessions authorised, than could before have been supposed necessary, and our ministers were instructed to resume their negotiations on those grounds.
On this new reference to amicable discussion, we were reposing in confidence, when on the 22d day of June last, by a formal order from a British admiral, the frigate Chesapeake, leaving her port for a distant service, was attacked by one of those vessels which had been lying in our harbours under the indulgencies of hospitality, was disabled from proceeding, had several of her crew killed, and four taken away. On this outrage no commentaries are necessary. Its character has been pronounced by the indignant voice of our citizens with an emphasis and unanimity never exceeded. I immediately by proclamation interdicted our harbours, and waters to all British armed vessels, forbade intercourse with them, and uncertain how far hostilities were intended, and the town of Norfolk indeed being threatened with immediate attack, a sufficient force was ordered for the protection of that place, and such other preparations commenced and pursued as the prospect rendered proper. An armed vessel of the United States was dispatched with instructions to our ministers at London to call on that government for the satisfaction and security required by the outrage. A very short interval ought now to bring the answer, which shall be communicated to you as soon as received; then also, or as soon after as the public interests shall be found to admit, the unratified treaty, and proceedings relative to it, shall be made known to you.
The aggression thus begun, has been continued on the part of the British commanders, by remaining within our waters in defiance of the authority of the country, by habitual violations of its jurisdiction, and at length by putting to death one of the persons whom they had forcibly taken from on board the Chesapeake. These aggressions necessarily lead to the policy either of never admitting an armed vessel into our harbours, or of maintaining in every such harbour, such an armed force as may constrain obedience to the laws, and protect the lives and property of our citizens against their armed guests; but the expense of such a standing force, and its inconsistency with our principles, dispense with those
courtesies which would necessarily call for it, and leave us equally free to exclude the navy as we do the army of a foreign power, from entering our limits.
To former violations of maritime rights, another is now added of very extensive effect. The government of that nation has issued an order interdicting all trade by neutrals between ports not in amity with them, and being now at war with nearly every nation on the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas, our vessels are required to sacrifice their cargoes at the first port they touch, or to return home without the benefit of going to any other market. Under this new law of the ocean, our trade on the Mediterranean has been swept away by seizures and condemnations, and that in other seas is threatened with the same fate.
Our differences with Spain remain still unsettled, no measure having been taken on her part, since my last communications to Congress, to bring them to a close. But under a state of things, which may favor reconsideration, they have been recently pressed, and an expectation is entertained that they may now soon be brought to an issue of some sort. With their subjects on our borders, no new collisions have taken place, nor seem immediately to be apprehended. To our former grounds of complaint has been added a very serious one as you will see by the decree, a copy of which is now communicated. Whether this decree, which professes to be conformable to that of the French government of Nov. 21, 1806, heretofore communicated to Congress, will also be conformed to that in its construction and application in relation to the U. States had not been ascertained at the date of our last communications. These, however, gave reason to expect such a conformity.
With the other nations of Europe, our harmony has been uninterrupted, and commerce and friendly intercourse have been maintained on their usual footing.
Our peace with the several states on the coast of Barbary appears as firm as at any former period, and as likely to continue as that of any other nation.
Among our Indian neighbours, in the north western quarter, some fermentation was observed soon after the late occurrences threatening the continuance of our peace. Messages were said to be interchanged, and tokens to be passing, which usually denote a state of restlessness among them, and the character of the agitators pointed to the sources of excitement;—measures were immediately taken for providing against that danger; instructions were given to require explanations, and, with assurances of our continued friendship, to admonish the tribes to remain quiet at home, taking no part in quarrels not belonging to them. As far as we are yet informed the tribes in our vicinity, who are most advanced in the pursuits of industry, are sincerely disposed to adhere to their friendship with us, and to their peace with all others. While those more remote, do not present appearances sufficiently quiet to justify the intermission of military precaution on our part.
The great tribes on our south western quarters much advanced beyond the others in agriculture and household arts, appear tranquil and identifying their views with ours in proportion to their advancements. With the whole of these people in every quarter, I shall continue to inculcate peace and friendship with all their neighbours, and perseverance in those occupations and pursuits which will best promote their own well being.
The appropriations of the last session, for the defence of our sea port towns and harbours, were made under expectation that a continuance of our peace would permit us to proceed in that work according to our convenience. It has been thought better to apply the sum then given towards the defence of New-York, Charleston and New-Orleans chiefly, as most open and most likely first to need protection, and to leave places less immediately in danger to the provisions of the present session.
The gun-boats too already provided, have, on a like principle, been chiefly assigned to New-York, New-Orleans, and the Chesapeake. Whether our moveable force on the water, so material in aid of the defensive works on the land, should be augmented in this or any other form, is left to the wisdom of the Legislature. For the purpose of manning these vessels, in sudden attacks on our harbours, it is a matter for consideration whether the seamen of the United States may not justly be formed into a special militia, to be called on for tours of duty, in defence of the harbours where they shall happen to be, the ordinary militia of the place furnishing that portion which may consist of landsmen.
The moment our peace was threatened, I deemed it indispensable to secure a great portion of those articles of military stores, with which our magazines were not sufficiently furnished; to have awaited a previous and special sanction by law, would have lost occasions which might not be retrieved. I did not hesitate, therefore, to authorise engagements for such supplements to our existing stock, as would render it ad-
equate to the emergencies threatening us; and I trust that the Legislature, feeling the same anxiety for the safety of our country so materially advanced by this precaution, will approve when done, what they would have seen so important to be done, if then assembled. Expenses, also unprovided for, arose out of the necessity of calling all our gun boats into actual service, for the defence of our harbours, of all which accounts will be laid before you.
Whether a regular army is to be raised, and to what extent must depend on the information so shortly expected. In the mean time, I have called on the states for quotas of militia to be in readiness for present defence; and have moreover, encouraged the acceptance of volunteers; and I am happy to inform you, that these have offered themselves with great alacrity in every part of the union; they are ordered to be organized, and ready at a moment's warning, to proceed on any service to which they may be called, and every preparation within the executive powers, has been made to ensure us the benefit of early exertions.
I informed Congress at their last session, of the enterprizes against the public peace, which were believed to be in preparation by Aaron Burr and his associates, of the measures taken to defeat them, and to bring the offenders to justice; their enterprizes were happily defeated, by the patriotic exertions of the militia, wherever called into action, by the fidelity of the army, and energy of the commander in chief, in promptly arranging the many difficulties presenting themselves on the Sabine, repairing to meet those arising on the Mississippi, and dissipating, before their explosion, plots engendering there. I shall think it my duty to lay before you the proceedings and the evidence publicly exhibited on the arraignment of the principal offenders before the district court of Virginia, you will be enabled to judge whether the defect was in the testimony, in the law or in the administration of the law; and wherever it shall be found, the legislature alone can apply or originate the remedy. The framers of our constitution certainly supposed they had guarded, as well their government against destruction by treason, as their citizens against oppression under pretence of it; and if these ends are not attained, it is of importance to enquire by what means more effectually, they may be secured.
The accounts of the receipts of revenue during the year on the 30th day of September last, being not yet made up, a correct statement will be hereafter transmitted from the treasury, in the mean time it is ascertained that the receipts have amounted to near sixteen millions of dollars, which, with the five millions and an half in the treasury at the beginning of the year, have enabled us, after meeting the current demands, and interest incurred, to pay more than four millions of the principal of our funded debt—These payments, with those of the preceding five and a half years, have extinguished of the funded debt twenty-five million and a half of dollars, being the whole which could be paid or purchased within the limits of the law, and of our contracts, and have left us in the treasury eight millions and a half of dollars. A portion of this sum may be considered as a commencement of accumulation of the surpluses of revenue, which, after paying the instalments of debt as they shall become payable, will remain without any specific object. It may partly, indeed, be applied towards completing the defence of the exposed points of our country, on such a scale as shall be adapted to our principles and circumstances.
This object is, doubtless, among the first entitled to attention, in such a state of our finances; and it is one which, whether we have peace or war, will provide security where it is due. Whether what shall remain of this, with the future surpluses may be usefully applied to purposes already authorised, or more useful to others requiring new authorities, or how otherwise they shall be disposed of, are questions calling for the notice of Congress: unless indeed they shall be superceded by a change in our public relations, now awaiting the determination of others. Whatever be that determination, it is a great consolation that it will become known at a moment when the supreme council of the nation is assembled at its post, and ready to give the aids of its wisdom and authority to whatever course the good of our country shall then call us to pursue.
Matters of minor importance will be the subject of future communications; and nothing shall be wanting on my part, which may give information or dispatch to the proceedings of the legislature, in the exercise of their high duties, and at a moment so interesting to the public welfare.

BY THE MAILS.
WASHINGTON, OCT. 23.
Several of the British prints, in announcing the arrival of the Revenge , state the existence of a rumor that the American government had required an answer to their representations within four days, and deduce from this circumstance their anti-pacific temper. It may be satisfactory to state, that this rumor is altogether unfounded. No such demand has been made, nor has any definite time been prescribed for receiving an answer. It is true, that a prompt answer is expected, and there can be no doubt, but that, if the British Ministry will to maintain peace between the two countries, a prompt answer will be given. [Nat. Int.]
It is always with reluctance that we record villainy in any shape; but it is with particular regret we notice the following daring assault committed within the limits of this city:—On Tuesday evening, about dusk, on his return from visiting a friend in N. Jer. avenue, on the brow of the hill, Mr. Elzey Burroughs was attacked by two Foot-Pads who presented pistols on each side of him and demanded his money; on his answering that he had none, one of them replied "You are a liar, Sir; it is in a bundle of papers in your pocket;" and at the same time put his hand into Mr. B's pocket and drawing from it a bundle of papers, took off the money in bank notes to the amount of 2400 dollars, which he had that day received from the bank in this city. We understand that no trace is yet discovered of the perpetrators of this outrage.
"LETTER STEALING."
BALTIMORE, OCTOBER 22.
In the Philadelphia papers of Saturday evening, received by yesterday's mail, we saw an account of a very singular transaction said to have taken place in that city, charging the editor of the Aurora with having artfully became possessed of a certain dispatch to the British minister, which he refused to re-deliver, &c. On this charge, however positive the assertions, we entirely suspend our opinion, and are now perfectly satisfied, from the plain, unvarnished tale of the editor, that his proceedings in this business has been most shamefully misrepresented. The following is concisely the substance of his narration:
The dispatch or whatever it was, (believed by the editor to be newspapers or a small pamphlet) was delivered to him by a "person whom he never saw before—nor since—never but the once."
The package was not sealed—it was superscribed "in his Britannic majesty's service" and addressed to the ambassador of Great Britain.
The editor believing some "trick" intended, questioned the person who brought it "if he had illegal intercourse, contrary to the President's proclamation, with the British armed ship?" The reply he made was, that "he was not the person but a relation of his."
The reply made by the editor was, the only course for you and for me is to send it to the executive.
"Accordingly it was put under a cover along with a short open note to the Secretary of State noticing how it was received, and intimating the editor's ignorance of Mr. Erskine's actual residence."
"A gentleman not an agent of Mr. Bond as has been said—in about three hours afterwards, called and enquired about it, but the packet had been dispatched, and of course was out of the power of the editor; but had it been in the power of the editor he would not have acted otherwise; because he found it incumbent on him to place the government of the country between him and the pestilence of British connexion."
"As to Mr. Erskine's being in this city, the editor did not know it, until informed to three hours after the transaction; if he had known it, under the circumstances in which it reached him, he would not have trusted to any equivocal course."
"The adherents of the British government have now the whole advantage of their trick, for such we must still believe it to be. But the trap did not catch—they must try another trick or give it another turn; and they had best request a copy or the original note of the editor to the Secretary of State."
FREDERICKSBURG, (Vir.) OCT. 22.
GREAT FIRE.
On Monday noon, the house of Mrs. Carter, in this town, was discovered to be on fire. The house was on an eminence, and a strong wind from the north-west blew the flames into the body of the town. In the course of a few hours, three of the best improved squares, with parts of two others, were stripped of all their improvements (said to be 200 houses in all). The rapidity of the fire, the horrors of its devastation through houses highly combustible from the operation of the late drought, the consternation that prevailed, destroying concert and presence of mind in most of those who were laboriously active, the incompetency of the engines to perform their offices with full effect, prevented many of the sufferers from saving a great proportion of their moveable property. The upper tobacco warehouses, with all the tobacco stored, were consumed. A flask of burning matter was thrown on the roof of the bank house, which stood at the distance of two streets from the general conflagration, and so furious was the progress of the flame that all the books, papers and money in the vaults, were of necessity exposed during the whole of the fire to its action, but have since been recovered entire. Happily no human being was lost.
A large committee has been appointed to solicit subscriptions for the relief of the distressed inhabitants.
A fire broke out at Newark on the 19th inst. in a stable, and destroyed four stables, 3 carriage houses, with the carriages and 7 horses, and a Dwelling House & other buildings were injured.
LOUISVILLE, AUG. 13.
Yesterday Davis Floyd, was found guilty of a misdemeanor by the circuit court of the Indiana territory, held at Jeffersonville on a charge of the U. S. as concerned with Aaron Burr in his late treasonable expedition. It is expected the court will pronounce their sentence this day. The hon. Judges Davis and Taylor presided.
Latest Proceedings on Col. Burr.
Thursday, the 15th, was wholly occupied by Mr. Wickham.
Friday was wholly occupied by Mr. McRae.
On Saturday, a Mr. Power from New Orleans (who turned out to be a subject of the King of Spain,) was introduced by Col. Burr as a witness; by whom, (as he asserted) he intended to authenticate certain papers, and to prove that general Wilkinson was in the habit of receiving money from the Spanish government.
The Chief Justice decided that the evidence was admissible, and that Mr. Power should be examined. He was therefore sworn, and questioned as to what he knew concerning certain correspondence between the Barron de Corondelet and Gen. Wilkinson.
Mr. Power, however, resolutely refused to proceed with his testimony.—Time was therefore allowed until three o'clock to consider whether he would obey the judge or not. At that hour he came again into court; but (Mr. Wirt being then engaged in speaking,) no notice was taken of his appearance.
Mr. Wirt began his discourse between twelve and one o'clock, but had not finished when the hour of adjournment arrived. His Speech so far as he progressed, shone with his usual fire of eloquence, and was peculiarly luminous in argument.
Monday, Oct. 19.—Nearly the whole of this day was occupied by Mr. Wirt, who concluded his able speech about two o'clock—after which Mr. Power and Mr. Swartwout were again called and examined. The evidence and arguments of counsel having been concluded, the court adjourned till Tuesday, eleven o'clock, when it is understood the final opinion of the Chief Justice will be delivered.
Tuesday, Oct. 20.—Twelve o'clock.—The court has just delivered a long and elaborate opinion, in which it determines, that "it would be improper to commit the accused on the charge of treason."
The conclusion of the opinion is as follows:—"I shall commit Aaron Burr and Herman Blannerhasset for preparing and providing the means for a military expedition against the territories of a foreign prince with whom the U. S. were at peace.—If those whose province and duty is to prosecute offenders against the laws of the United States shall be of opinion that a crime of a deeper dye has been committed, it is not their choice to act in conformity with that opinion.—Israel Smith is not proved to have provided or prepared any means whatever, and therefore I shall not commit him. If he has really offended against the laws, he may be prosecuted for the treason in Kentucky, or for the misdemeanor in his own state, where, if any where, his offence has been committed."
Mr. Hay moved to have A. B. and H. B. committed for trial in the District of Ohio.
SICKNESS AT DEERFIELD, (N.H.)
Tuesday, Sept. 22d, Joshua Frink, a single man of about 25 years of age, returned sick from Hartford, Connecticut, to his father's house in Deerfield. His disorder increased, and he appeared very dangerous, but hath since recovered. The day he came home his mother, Amy, wife of Miner Frink aged 61, and his brother Samuel Frink's daughter, attended him—Those two persons, in the night of Friday, Sept. 25, were taken with ague fits, and vomiting, succeeded by terrible pain and forensis throughout their whole frame—soon left their reason, and expired in about 12 hours, in a state of putrefaction. Among the rest of the neighbors who attended with the sick, Mrs. Susanna Sweet, wife of Mr. Joseph Sweet, brother to Mrs. Frink, aged 64, with their daughter, Jerusha Jones, wife of Mr. Amos Jones, and an infant, 9 months old, were perhaps the most exposed. Friday night, Oct. 2, Mrs. Sweet and another daughter of Samuel Frink, were taken in like manner, and both expired in 13 hours. Saturday, Oct. 3d, Jerusha Jones and her child taken with the same, and died in 12 hours. Sunday, 4th, Miner Frink, jun. taken in nearly the same manner, and expired in about the same term of time, aged 37. Wednesday, Oct. 7th, Sally Blackler, wife of John Blackler, daughter of Mr. Sweet, deceased, having been present at the death of her mother, was taken with the same disorder but did not putrify immediately like the others, except one of her fingers; she lived until Monday, Oct. 12th, and then expired.
Joel, son of Mrs. Frink, deceased, taken the same hour with his mother, aged 17. Lyman, son of Samuel Frink, aged 6, and a young daughter of Miner Frink, jun. taken about the same time with Mrs. Sweet, have recovered: other cases are yet undetermined, whether it was the same disorder or not.
The people of the vicinity were much alarmed with this solemn providence of God, so that they were afraid to lend that friendly assistance in sickness and burying the dead which the laws of nature and gratitude demand. The husband with his heart swollen with grief, was put to the painful necessity of assisting in laying out his own wife for interment. Those who were the unhappy subjects of this dreadful disorder were immediately deprived of reason, racked with pain and hurried into eternity, and prudence and safety required that they should be hurried to the Grave as soon as possible. A melancholy gloom appeared visible in almost every countenance; but their fears have subsided in this place with regard to this disorder. Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
The young man first mentioned, informed that he helped unload a vessel at Hartford, the hands of which were all sick, from which he supposed the disorder was taken, and that there were seven lying dead at one time the next door to his lodgings.

Portsmouth,  TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1807.  The highly important information presented to the PAIrons of the Gazette this day, together with the interesting Miscellany in an accompanying Supplement,—we hope will amply compensate for the barrenness of our columns the last week.  DANISH ISLAND OF ST. CROIX. From St. Croix we learn, that on the 5th October, two British frigates and a Schooner, cut out all the vessels at West-end, except the brig Enterprize , Capt. Lovell, of Boston; and sent them to Tortola. The ill and had not been officially declared in a state of blockade; but the British cruisers took all vessels having Danish cargoes or produce on board. Two American vessels had arrived at Bats end, unmolested, after the vessels at the West-end had been cut out. [Boston Centinel.]  By a recent arrival we learn, that soon after the news of the affair of the Chesapeake and Leopard reached Curacao, all the American vessels were obliged before they left that island, to give bond and security to the amount of vessel and cargo, to be recovered of the sureties in case of a war taking place between England and the United States of America.—Centinel. [Is this British justice? Is it not, in effect, a confiscation of American property, before any act of aggression had been committed except by the British?]  It is a curious fact, that Great Britain takes annually from Russia not less than 30,000 tons of tallow; 35,000 tons of hemp; 15,000 tons of flax; 140,000 bbls. of tar, besides iron, canvas and other naval stores to a great amount. A like supply could not be procured from all the other nations in Europe. They could not supply her demands for a single month.
WORTHY OF IMITATION!  MINUTE MEN. On the 22d ult. the troops detached from the third regiment, to compose a part of the levy of a hundred thousand men, in pursuance of a voluntary agreement of the officers and soldiers, paraded in Concord, under the officers detached to command them. Their appearance was truly martial.—Every man was completely equipped and provided with everything necessary for a campaign of six months. They were the very same sort of men as those who fought at Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill, in 1775, with the same enemy who have constantly violated our rights for the last fifteen years, and now threaten us with a new war. They were animated with the same feelings and the same spirit. In view of the tombs of their fathers, butchered by the same hands that threaten them with a similar fate, their feelings were excited, by a sense of injury and insult, almost beyond the control of reason; but reposing full confidence in the wisdom and firmness of the government of the government of their country, they wait patiently for its decision upon existing subjects of controversy; and when they shall receive orders to march for the defence of the just rights of their country, they will demonstrate to the world that the militia, in a government like ours, are not only our best security in peace, but our firmest reliance in the first moments of war. At three o'clock in the afternoon, they formed the line with the Concord artillery and light infantry companies, and marched through the town; after which the battalion divided, and a fictitious engagement took place, which was conducted with great skill and animation. Captain Brooks, who commanded the detached troops, delivered to them a pertinent and appropriate address, in which he complimented them upon their military spirit, and soldier like appearance, and recommended to them, in the strongest manner, a close and constant attention to discipline. [Chronicle.]
JERSEY ELECTION. From certain information we can state, that there will be a greater republican majority in both houses of the legislature than there has been any year heretofore. There will be 35 republican to 18 federal members on the floor of joint meeting.—Aurora.  Friday last being the 7th Anniversary of GILMAN'S BLUES , under the orders of Capt. Joshua Haven . They paraded at an early hour; did themselves great honor by their soldierly like conduct and exact evolutions and firings.—Dined together in Mr. Davenport's large and commodious Hall; were honored by the presence of his Excellency the Commander in Chief, with his Aids; and Col. Walker , and Maj. Larkin ; sang many excellent songs, drank several military and patriotic toasts—and separated in high glee.
GAZETTE MARINE LIST. Friday arrived, fct d  Almira , Capt. Blunt in 21 days from St. Bartholomews. A letter from Bermuda, dated the 18th of September says, 'There is a tonnage duty just laid' . American vessels of one dollar per ton. The Governor of Trinidad issued his proclamation on the 26th day of August last, laying a duty of two shillings per quintal upon all salted codfish imported and sold in that island from the U.S. of America in American vessels. Sch r  Alfred , Shillaber, 7 days from Salem for Baltimore, was stranded on Currituck beach, 1st Oct. cargo saved. Samuel Butman, a seaman, belonging to New Hampshire, was drowned. A Newfoundland paper mentions that brig Samuel , Orr, of Greenock, from Londonderry, was lost at Cape Pine, and every person on board except one perished. An American brig in tow of a privateer, was seen off St. Croix tow ult.
DIED. —In this town, Miss Sally Holbrook , aged 15 years; a child of Capt. Joseph Woodley ; a child of Mr. Samuel Sprague .
POSTSCRIPT. Late & important from Europe. Sunday last arrived at Boston, the ship Arifides , from Liverpool, bringing papers of that city to the 16th of Sept. and London to the 14. Their contents are of the highest importance, as will be seen by the subsequent extracts which are all we could prepare in season for this day's paper.—Copenhagen had not surrendered on the 4th Sept. nor did it appear that it would soon do so.—Our differences with England were discussing by authorized agents, and some of the papers anticipated an amicable issue. [Boston Chronicle.]
Evacuation of South America. LONDON, Sept. 12.—The Saracen ship, of 18 guns, arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, with dispatches from Lt. Gen. Whitelocke , dated the 10th of July, containing the ungrateful intelligence, that the British forces under his command had made an attack upon Buenos Ayres, but had experienced so much resistance from the numerous forces of the enemy, that, after having gained possession of part of the town, it was thought prudent to enter into a capitulation, by which it has been agreed to evacuate not only the part of Buenos Ayres, of which our troops had gained possession, but Monte Video, Maldonado, in fine, the whole of South America, within the short space of two months. The following Bulletin was sent from the Admiralty to the Lord Mayor, and, by his order, passed on the Mansion House, and communicated to Lloyd's.
"Downing-street, Sept. 12, 1807. "Lord Castlereagh has the honour of acquainting the Lord Mayor, that dispatches have been received this morning, from Lt. Gen. Whitelocke , dated July 10, by which it appears, that in an attack upon the town of Buenos Ayres, His Majesty's troops experienced so much resistance from the tumultuous force of the enemy, that after gaining possession of part of the town, with severe loss, on the 5th July, the Lt. Gen. thought it prudent to enter into a negotiation with Gen. Liniers , who commanded the enemy's forces, by which he agreed to evacuate South America within two months, upon condition that all prisoners taken in the attack, as well as those captured at the surrender of Buenos Ayres, should be restored. The total loss amounts in killed 316, wounded 674, missing 203. "To the Right Hon the Lord Mayor."
COPENHAGEN. A Copenhagen Mail arrived yesterday with intelligence to the 31st. Letters of that date say, that a courier had arrived there who left Copenhagen on the evening of Saturday the 29th ult. at which time, in consequence of the bombardment by our sea or land forces, the town was on fire in different places; and it was said that the arsenal was on fire. This is three days later than the dispatches, and then the town was not taken. Thus we find that our troops have been landed a fortnight and nothing effected. Indeed, after the Danes have had so much time to prepare, and they have been allowed to recover from their first apprehensions and to calculate their means of defence, the success of the attempt upon Copenhagen appears questionable. The delay of the attack by the land may be supposed to be justified by the expectation of the certain success of the slow mode of operation; but the delay in attacking the naval line of defence renders the victory much more doubtful than it would have been; and it seems to be thought now, that the place must be taken by land, and that our fleet could, from the preparations made by the Danes, make little impression, where they were formerly victorious under Nelson . The letters from the fleet represent the siege of Copenhagen as likely to continue three weeks. Some private letters have been received, which lead us to conclude, that the accounts received by Ministers are unfavorable. It is stated in them, that an unsuccessful attack was made upon the 23d and that a great many men were killed on board our ships. It is stated also, that the Danes had driven our troops from a redoubt near the town where a battery had been erected, and that they were twice repulsed in attempting to retake it. They have burnt part of the suburbs to facilitate their defence, and seem determined to hold out to the last extremity.
Russia and Sweden. It is stated in a letter from Stockholm, of the 27th of August, that the Russian Ambassador had delivered a note to the Swedish government, in which it was declared, that if assistance were rendered to the British fleet, or any part of it admitted into the ports of Sweden, it would be considered as a declaration of war, and that the Emperor of Russia would march an army into Finland.
Expedition against Madeira! Preparations are now making to take possession of the Island of Madeira. The force intended for this service, is reported to be about 3000 men. A number of transports, which are to be victualled for three months, have been ordered to assemble at Portsmouth, where the embarkation is to take place. The expedition is expected to sail in the course of a few days.  Extract of an article from the Bordeaux Gazette of September 6th, 1807, included from a gentleman there to his friend in this city. "Head-Quarters, Strausfand, August 25. We have carried this night, partly by surprise and partly by force, the island and fort of Andolm. Six hundred Swedes are prisoners. We have found on the island 40 pieces of cannon or mortars. The king of Sweden has left us at Strausfand 500 cannon, 300,000 bullets, 100,000 bombs, 300,000 lbs powder, and a great quantity of iron in bars."

For the N. H. GAZETTE.
THE unhappy animosities, which, too frequently exist between Christians of different denominations, operate as much against the cause of Christianity as the delusional theories, which in these corrupt days, are so prevalent.
The different complexions and constructions of the human mind, plead a powerful excuse for the different lights, in which good men, view the same subject; and makes toleration, a duty no less incumbent than Charity. Though Christians disagree in certain ceremonial points, it is both irrational and irreligious to suffer this disagreement to be the basis of unbrotherly reserve, and acrimonious disputation. Is it not more congenial to the Christian spirit to unite their strength where they do coincide; and by giving their unimportant differences to the wind, add numbers, power and respectability to the persuasion which they have adopted? The variances observable between believers, and the LEADERS of believers, not only creates much individual pain, but by showing an evident inconsistency of conduct and profession, produces two other dreadful effects,—confirming the infidel in his unbelief, and the deist in his impious doctrines.
The pious author of the following excellent and appropriate Hymn, appears to have appreciated the value and obligation of christian love, with accuracy and high estimation; and has enforced its observance, in these beautiful lines, with the brotherly zeal of a true Christian poet. Should this Hymn, fall under the eye of those who are conscious of having omitted, at least the external manifestations of that love, it will perhaps excite the blush of repentance, and extract the tear of sorrow.

CHRISTIAN LOVE. —Gallatians iii. 28.
Let party names no more The Christian world o'erspread; Gentle and Jew and bond and free, Are ONE in Christ their head.
Among the Saints on earth, Let mutual Love be found; Heirs of the same inheritance, With mutual blessings crown'd.
Let every child of hell! Be banish'd far away; Those should in fricndly friendship dwell, Who the same Lord obey.
Thus will the church below Resemble that above; Where streams of pleasure ever flow, And every heart is Love!

Mr. Wirt's Speech.
The following Extracts from the Speech of Mr. WIRT, on the motion to arrest the evidence on the Trial of AARON BURR, for High Treason, deserve to be classed amongst the happiest efforts of descriptive eloquence which the English language affords. To understand its particular force and application, it ought to be remarked, that amongst other stratagems of defence which have been set up by "the great Culprit," against the charge of Treason, he contended, that if any overt act had been committed, it was by Blannerhasset, who ought to be considered the Principal Traitor, and that he (Burr) not being present at that overt act, could be considered only as an accessory to the crime; that an accessory could not be convicted, until after the trial and conviction of his principal. And of course that he (Burr) was not amenable to punishment on that indictment. It is in reply to this ground of defence, that this part of Mr. WIRT's Speech is intended.
Pittsfield Sun.
WHO, then, is Aaron Burr, and what the part which he has borne in this transaction? He is its author, its projector, its active executor. Bold, ardent, restless and aspiring, his brain conceived it; his hand brought it into action. Beginning his operations in New-York, he associates with him men whose wealth is to supply the necessary funds. Possessed of the main spring, personal labor contrives all the machinery. Pervading the continent from New-York to New-Orleans, he draws into his plan by every allure-ment which he can contrive, men of all ranks and all descriptions. To youthful ardor, he pre-sents danger and glory; to ambition, rank and titles and honor; to avarice, the mines of Mex-ico. To each person whom he addresses he pre-sents the object adapted to his state. His re-cruiting officers are appointed; men are engag-ed throughout the continent; civil life is indeed quiet upon its surface, but in its bosom this man has contrived to deposit the materials with which the slightest touch of his match produces an ex-plosion to shake the continent. All this his rest-less ambition has contrived; and in the autumn of 1806, he goes forth for the last time to apply this match. On this excursion he meets with Blannerhasset.
Who is Blannerhasset? a native of Ireland, a man of letters, who fled from the storms of his own country to find quiet in ours. His history shows that war is not the natural element of his mind; if it had been, he would never have ex-changed Ireland for America. So far is an ar-my from furnishing the society natural and proper to Mr. Blannerhasset's character, that on his arrival in America he retired even from the population of the Atlantic states, and sought qui-et and solitude in the bosom of our western for-ests. But he carried with him talent and science and wealth, and lo! 'the desert smiled.' Possess-ing himself of a beautiful island in the Ohio, he rears upon it a palace, and decorates it with ev-ery romantic embellishment of fancy. A shrub-bery that Shenstone might have envied, blooms around him; music that might have charmed Calypso and her nymphs, is his; an extensive li-brary spreads its treasures before him; a philo-sophical apparatus offers to him all the secrets and mysteries of nature; peace, tranquility and innocence, shed their mingled delights around him; and to crown the enchantment of the scene, a wife, who is said to be lovely even beyond her sex, and graced with every accomplishment that can render it irresistible, had blessed him with her love and made him the father of her chil-dren. The evidence would convince you, sir, that this is but a faint picture of the real life.—In the midst of all this peace, this innocence, and this tranquillity, this feast of the mind, this pure banquet of the heart—the destroyer comes!—he comes to turn this paradise into a hell—yet the flowers do not wither at his approach, and no mortality shuddering through the bosom of their unfortunate possessor, warns him of the ruin that is coming upon him. A stranger pre-sents himself. Introduced to their civilities by the high rank which he had lately held in his country, he soon finds the way to their hearts by the dignity and elegance of his demeanor, the light and beauty of his conversation, and the se-ductive and fascinating power of his address.—The conquest was not a difficult one. Inno-cence is ever simple and credulous! conscious of no design itself, it suspects none in others; it wears no guards before its breast; every door and portal and avenue of the heart is thrown o-pen, and all who choose it enter. Such was the state of Eden when the serpent entered its bowers.
The prisoner in a more engaging form, wind-ing himself into the open and unpractised heart of the unfortunate Blannerhasset, found but lit-tle difficulty in changing the native character of that heart, and the objects of its affection. By degrees he infuses into it the poison of his own ambition; he breathes into it the fire of his own courage; a daring and desperate thirst for glo-ry; an ardor panting for all the storms and bus-tle and hurricane of life. In a short time the whole man is changed, and every object of his former delight relinquished. No more he enjoys the tranquil scene, it has become flat and insipid to his taste; his books are abandoned; his retort and crucible are thrown aside; his shrubby blooms and breathes its fragrance upon the air in vain, he likes it not; his ear no longer drinks the rich melody of music; it longs for the trum-pet's clangor and the cannon's roar. Even the prattle of his babes, once so sweet, no longer af-fects him, and the angel smile of his wife, which hitherto touched his bosom with ecstasy so un-speakable, is now unfelt and unseen. Greater objects have taken possession of his soul—his im-agination has been dazed by visions of diadems, and stars and garters, and titles of nobility; he has been taught to burn with restless emulation at the names of Cromwell, Cæsar and Bonaparte. His enchanted island is destined soon to relapse into a desert; and in a few months we find the beautiful partner of his bosom, whom he lately
'permitted not the winds of summer 'to visit too roughly,' shivering at midnight on the win-ter banks of the Ohio, and mingling her tears with the torrents that froze as they fell. Yet this unfortunate man, thus deluded from his in-terest and his happiness, thus seduced from the paths of innocence and peace, thus confounded in the toils which were deliberately spread for him, and overwhelmed by the mastering spirit and genius of another—this man thus ruined and undone, and made to play a subordinate part in this grand drama of guilt and treason, this man is to be called the principal offender; while he by whom he was thus plunged and sleeped in misery, is comparatively innocent, a mere accessory. Sir, neither the human heart, nor the human understanding, will bear a per-ver-sion so monstrous and absurd, so shocking to the soul, so revolting to reason. O no, sir.—There is no man who knows any thing of this affair, who does not know, that to every body concern-ed in it Aaron Burr was as the sun to the plan-ets which surround him—he bound them in their respective orbits, and gave them their light, their heat and their motion. Let him not then shrink from the high destination which he has courted; and having already ruined Blannerhas-set in fortune, character and happiness forever, attempt to finish the tragedy by thrusting that ill-fated man between himself and punishment.
British Barbarity.
FROM THE CHRONICLE.
Messrs. Printers. —As Dr. Lathrop of Boston, has given so many specimens of his patriotic indignation against the British, I shall occasionally request you to republish what he wrote at the early part of our revolution. I flatter myself the good Doctor has not changed with the times, but must feel indignant at the late publications of Pacificus , and other federal writers, who are now repre-senting the United States as too feeble to defend them-selves against the outrages of Britain.
The following are extracts from one of the Doctor's sermons, which I have preferred among the valuable writings of those days "which tried men's souls."
THE shocking massacre, perpetrated on that gloomy evening, [5th of March] which we shall never forget, may be considered as the com-mencement of hostilities by the British troops in America: And the inhabitants of these States must have been justified by the impartial world, had they resolved from that moment, never to suffer one in the livery of George the 3d to walk this ground.
Opposition was not made to that force which we saw collecting against us, till our enemies carried fire and sword into the heart of the coun-try.
Never shall we forget the nineteenth of April 1775, when a number of Americans were mur-dered at Lexington, and we heard the first col-umn call, to arm , and oppose the strength of Great Britain.
Since the sword on both sides has been drawn, the operations of war, on the part of the ene-my, have been cruel beyond expression. Con-quest has not been the sole object of their exer-tions. Devastation, barbarity and murder, have been their delight.
Some of our ancient and most flourishing towns have been pillaged and burned.
Charlestown was consumed by the enemy on the 17th of June, 1775. The flames of which warmed the imagination of General Burgoyne, for the striking description he gave of the battle on Bunker's Hill. A great part of Falmouth was burnt in the month of October, 1775, by the infamous Mowat, captain of a 16 gun ship. Nor-folk, one of the oldest and most flourishing towns in Virginia, was wholly consumed in the month of January, 1775. Kingston, the 3d town in the state of New-York, was reduced to ashes in the month of October, 1777. Besides the wan-ton destruction of these places, between four and five hundred houses were pulled down and burnt in Boston, while the town was held by British troops. The enemy took peculiar plea-sure in abusing the houses erected for the worship of God. One venerable pile, known by the name of the OLD NORTH was torn to pieces by the sons of violence; those wretches accompanying their impious work, with language too profane and blasphemous to relate. One large and ele-gant building was shamefully defaced, and used as a manage for their horses . Three others, and one among them the most finished and expensive on the continent, were prostrated to the purpo-ses of barracks; and one was used as a barn to contain fodder for their cattle.
Neither the delicacy of the sex, or the infir-mities of the aged, were sufficient to secure them a-gainst British and savage inhumanity.
The weak and infirm have been slain in their houses. The venerable head grown white with years has been mangled by ruffian soldiers. The blooming virgin dressed for her nuptials, has been seized by savage hands, hurried away and mur-dered with unutterable cruelty.
See Gen. Gates' letter to Gen. Burgoyne, of September 2, 1777. This letter contains such an account of the unprincipled barbarity of our enemies, that it should be frequently read, to im-press our minds with a sense of the temper and disposition of the men with whom we are at war. The following is an extract:—
"That the savages of America, should in their warfare, mangle and scalp the unhappy prisoners who fall into their hands, is neither new nor ex-traordinary: but that the famous Lieut. Gen. Burgoyne, in whom the fine gentleman is united with the soldier and the scholar; should hire the savages of America to scalp Europeans, and the descendants of Europeans:—Nay more, that he should pay a price for each scalp so barbarously taken, is more than will be believed in Europe, until authenticated facts, should in every gazette confirm the truth of the horrid tale. Miss
M'Rea, a lady lovely to the sight, of virtuous character, and amiable disposition, engaged to be married to an officer in your army, was, with oth-er women and children, taken out of a house near Fort Edward, and carried into the woods, and there scalped and mangled in a most shocking manner. Two parents, with their six children, were all treated with the same inhumanity, while quietly residing in their once peaceful dwellings. The miserable fate of Miss M'Rea was particu-larly aggravated, by her being dressed to receive her promised husband, but met her murderer, employed by you. Upwards of an hundred men, women and children have perished by the hands of ruffians, to whom it is asserted, you have paid the price of blood."
But I forbear. The rehearsal is so shocking. Who then could endure the sight of woes, a de-scription of which we find insufferable?—None, most certainly, none could endure the sight of such dreadful scenes, but those Britains who were so lost to the feelings of humanity, as to reward the Savages for mangling the innocent and de-fenceless.
And besides the open murder of the aged and infirm, of women and children, our enemies have basely starved many of our brethren to death, who were in their hands as prisoners. Many have suffered in the most shocking man-ner and died in prisons and guard-ships. More than a thousand perished in the city of New-York the winter before last. And when our brethren were suffering, hunger and cold, and the vilest insult, a forid enemy endeavored to prevail on them to enlist into the British service; but such was the virtue of those heroes, that the last ex-treme of misery, was not sufficient to shock their fidelity to their country. They rather chose to perish in want of all things, than draw their sword against the liberties of America. They met the approaches of death, in their dismal cir-cumstances, with a degree of fortitude seldom to be found in the history of mankind. Some of our unhappy brethren who were captivated, and carried to Great-Britain, were after wards sent to the East-Indies, from whence they can have lit-tle or no reason to expect they shall ever return.
Such acts of meanness and cruelty have our enemies been guilty of. Such are the men who have promised their haughty master, that by de-vastation and slaughter they will compel the in-habitants of these States to yield unconditional subjection to his pleasure.
Every son of freedom then throughout this continent, must be justified in the view of that God who hateth violence and cruelty, when he draws his sword, and appealing to heaven, solemnly swears, he will never sheathe it, till those miscreants—those enemies to the com-mon rights of mankind, are utterly destroyed, or drove from this once happy land.
BRITISH attack on COPENHAGEN.
The attack on Copenhagen, by order of the British government, is allowed to be the most desperate and unprincipled event of the present war. That government may now say with the celebrated GENEY, that they have happily forgot all that they have hitherto learned respecting the law of nations. The seizure of Zealand has in fact rescinded and abolished all the provisions and obligations of that law, as it were by a coup de main ! Let us talk no longer then of Grotius or Puffendorf, of the Consolato del Mare, as old as the 13th century, or of any other work of maritime authority. All these points, hereto-fore of sovereign arbitrament, by this last act in the black and deep tragedy now performing in Europe, are completely obliterated. The min-istry of that infatuated nation have fairly travel-led out of their own record, and have left all that has been said and written by Vattel, and a thousand other persons, as a mere political illu-sion.
If the sovereignty of nations and the power of governments are to be thus prostrated, because forsooth silly editors have published unmeaning paragraphs, and sillier people have believed them, the prosperity of nations must hereafter depend on the most trivial incidents. We want words to explain what we think on this most astonishing act of perfidy. Denmark was the last of the neutrals in Europe, and if in this country we do not take warning by her example, woe to the merchant who puts his faith in England. When it is the cue of that government to strike, no-thing will be left on the ocean, abroad or in har-bour, that is in their power to capture. It is remarkable indeed that the Danes, like the A-mericans, have taken no part in this war of "kings against the people." But the Danes had no treaty of alliance to bind them, and therefore could not justly incur the resentment of either party; yet this ancient nation, once the conquerors of England, are made to suffer and to risk every thing, which military execution can inflict, on so little proof, that no impartial or candid man has yet suggested a reason of the slightest texture to excuse the enormity.
Admitting the Danes were accessory to cer-tain concealed stipulations, in the treaty of Til-sit, should not a proclamation have announced the nature of those stipulations before the blow was struck, and might not negotiation have pre-ceded hostility, according to the wise and en-lightened example of our own government, in the almost equally atrocious act of the Leopord and Chesapeake? or, is it always in character with the British government for the apology to follow the stroke, instead of the stroke following the a-pology? are they alone to strike first and to reason after-wards? Even when the first coalition was formed a-gainst a propoied reformation in the French monarchy, imposing as that confederacy then was, paper succeeded paper before they made their attack on the French na-tion. To be sure, there was then no neutral in Europe, but the Danes, and yet they were not molested by this formidable conspiracy of kings against the progressive improvement of the human understanding.
But, two things of salutary inference have oc-curred in this extraordinary outrage: First, that Denmark has been attacked in a state of pro-found peace, by sea and by land, upon no pub-lic testimonials of guilt or even error on her part:—and, secondly, that this government, prover-bial for its good faith, has boldly confiscated all the British property in her possession, as a fair act of reprisal for her property clandestinely taken, without a previous declaration of war. Who will lose most or least in this conflict, remains to be seen. But, if the present British ministry pre-vail in this controversy, it will be because there is neither strength nor spirit left, either in Eng-land, upon the continent of Europe, or in this country. If a nation is to be ruined because she forms her own commercial regulations, Britan-nia may rule by land as well as by sea, and all Europe, if not America, would soon become a colony to that haughty but feeble government.
Boston Chronicle.
FROM THE BOSTON DEMOCRAT.
In a late federal paper it is mentioned as one of Mr. Jefferson's demerits, that he disapproved of the Constitution.
Mr. Jefferson did indeed disapprove of the Constitution in its original form; he received a copy of it at Paris, where he then resided in a public capacity—he immediately wrote to Mr. Madison, expressing his regret that, from the o-mission of certain principles which he deemed in-dispensible to the preservation of our liberties, the proposed instrument was, as he thought, im-perfect—and suggested certain amendments, which, by the exertion of Mr. Madison and oth-ers were established.
Will these vacacres, who affect to know so much about Mr. Jefferson's opinions, mention an instance in which Mr. Jefferson or other repub-licans have disapproved of the Constitution since its adoption?
Why will federalists, by such invidious reflec-tions force us to recriminate? Is it not very fool-ish for them to cavil at Mr. Jefferson's disappro-bation of the Constitution before its amend-ment and adoption, when they, as a party, cannot de-ny that they have assailed it since ?
Are not the states confederated by the consti-tution? And have not federalists proposed a dis-solution of that confederacy—have they not ad-vocated a division of the Union?
They dare not deny that they have. Does not the Constitution, in the ratio of re-presentation, reckon the black population with the white as three to five? And have not feder-alists clamoured and grumbled till they were weary, about "negro votes," as they spitefully called them—How many hundred times and how bitterly have they cursed and railed against this principle of representation, which the consti-tution has established?
Need we say more, to confound these fellows who talk of Mr. Jefferson's disapproving the Con-stitution? Is it necessary to add, that Gaylord Griswold's letter is not, cannot be, contradicted—which says that the leading federalists at the seat of government had determined to support Burr in his schemes to "shake the very centre"? Could any thing be more fatal to the Constitu-tion than the success of Burr's plan?
These are the men who talk of opposing the Constitution!!
Mr. Jefferson and some others disapproved the Constitution before it was amended and adopted . The federalists have opposed it since ; and that practically. The difference between them, is as the difference between the legislator who opposes a Bill , and the culprit who violates a Law .
'Delaware,' says the U.S. Gazette, 'remains 3 years longer in the Washington principles'!!
Now let us see how much of Washington prin-ciple is involved in the struggle of federalism, in this instance—
The candidate for member of Congress at this election, who was opposed by the federalists, was the venerable compatriot and friend of Washing-ton, the celebrated revolutionary patriot, JOHN DICKINSON, so well known for the conspicuous figure he made in "times that tried men's souls," by the side of Franklin, Adams, Hancock & Wash-ington—and for his valuable political writings, entitled the "Pennsylvania Farmer"—which had so much agency in inculcating the principles of liberty.—This was the man whom federalists, to a man, opposed.
At no time since the establishment of our Con-stitution has our country stood in greater need of this venerable sage, to add wisdom to its coun-cils. Of course, never, since then, did the toxies so much dread the effects of his spirit. He had once, upon principle, done wonders in aid of our successful resistance of British tyranny—he had not altered a hair—They therefore dreaded the public voice of such a man in deciding the ap-proaching question, whether we shall submit to British insults, or resist them a second time.—This is the fellow-labourer and friend of Wash-ington, that was opposed by men who boast of "Washington principles"!
When such men as these are opposed by fed-eralists, their torified characters can no longer be questioned. [Ibid]
A late federal paper complains, that Jefferson has removed men whom Washington placed in office. I would ask these despicable snarlers whether Mr. Adams ever removed a man from office? They will not deny that he removed great numbers from office. Well, how came they there? President Adams could remove none but such as another President had appointed.—And no President preceded him but Washington. Every officer that Adams removed was necessarily of Washington's appointment. And yet these triflers have the impudence to complain of Jefferson's removing offi-cers appointed by Washington! [Ibid]

The following Extracts are copied from a patriotic and patriotic ADDRESS, delivered at Gloucester, (Mass.) July 30, 1807, before the field Officers of the Regiment &c. &c. By the Rev. THOMAS JONES. It is hoped the enlightened public will give them a perusal.
Gentlemen! Field Officers of the Regiment, and Company Officers.
Unaccustomed as I am to addresses of this kind, I am willing to gratify your wishes, and say something on the present occasion, to the Company, by expressing sentiments of my heart, that may tend, if necessary, to stimulate them to be courageous in the defence of their country, if called for.
Gentlemen! The Company present, hearing one voice, I beg leave to comprehend in one address, as a part of the Militia of Gloucester—as a part of United America—as a part of the great bulwark of the nation's defence.
I most respectfully conjure you, Gentlemen, Officers and Soldiers, to receive my address, all in your proper grades, as an expression of my devotions.
You are all one in heart, and equal as men; but order and execution require authority and subordination.—Some must command—some must obey.
Nature, circumstances, exertions and acquired talents form Officers, bold and intrepid in command and act. And nature and circumstances also form the hardy Soldier to obey, who, without the fear of death, while he thinks of nothing but his country, his duty, his commander, his comrades, and his God! in whose care he leaves his beloved family, and his own soul, and braves at his commander's word, the thick shot, the flying ball, the angry bayonet; nor flinches at the roar of the cannon, nor shudders at the lightning of the unsheathed sword.
If ever Soldiers, commanding and obeying, had a right to feel thus; verily Americans have that right: for they never made war for plunder, fame or territory.
Americans, from their birth as a nation, only warded off the blow, and fought in their own defence.—Your fathers only fought for liberty—the Lord of Hosts was with them—the voice of the King Immortal was heard in their camp—they obtained victory—they won the prize, inestimable liberty, and national Independence.—Upon the foundation which they laid for us, we all stand this day. We profess to be their children, and your will is equally anxious to convey to your children the same legacy which your fathers left you.
Our EAGLE still soars high; the arrow of no fowler hath come near him. The FREE WOMAN still waves on our ensigns. Your hearts, with the hearts of all America, are determined to die before you resign her to any enemy. The voice of the nation as one, saith, "We will continue free, and be in bondage to no nation." And the Militia of all America, in the Officer's energetic commands, and the Companie's prompt obedience, utter, as in response, the conclusive—Amen!
At this period, from the recent insult offered our flag, and our nation, AMERICA, by the mouth of her executive power, hath wisely shewed her sensibility of the wrong she hath received, and her determination to be, so far as possible, redressed. Americans are all one against a common enemy, and equally jealous of their country's rights and honors. America! be thou always thus of one mind, and thou wilt be always invincible: for, while united, no weapon formed against you can prosper.
And would to God that the present union of hearts in one common cause, may some how make arrangements to form an agreement, at a future period, to bury all past contentions and disputes between true Americans undecided: and let them be like Moses' scape goat, never heard of more in our ISRAEL.
Excuse me, Gentlemen, as a disinterested foreigner, who hath taken shelter for life, under your eagle's wings. I have presented this fervent ejaculation to Almighty God. For I was born where your ancestors were, and as they did, I have also from choice, made this country my future home. I am from my heart a citizen of the United States. My allegiance to her constitution and laws are devout.
At this crisis the nation is moved as the spirit of one man. 'Tis a general cause—'tis the cause of every man; for every man hath his freedom to lose or retain.
We would not wish to stir you up by a spirit of war while it is yet peace; but would warn you to be ready for a defensive war. Therefore, though you may as politicians, think that the governments of Britain and America will settle this affair without the sword (which I pray God they may); nevertheless, as Soldiers you will hold yourselves in readiness for war.
As Christians, you cannot desire nor delight in war. Our Religion teaches us to look forward, in cheerful hope, to some golden future age,
promised to some future generation of our race, in the predictions of the inspired bards of Israel—when, by the refinements of Christianity, wars shall cease; and man be man in friendship throughout the world; and trust himself unarmed in the company of man every where, as a friend, and as a brother; for, by the light of true morals, enmity shall cease.
But we are not yet in this predicted day; we are only labouring for it; our liberty, as a nation, is a prelude of it; our defence of that liberty is an expression of our hope in it.
But it would be imprudent in us, to beat our swords and spears into labouring utensils of husbandry, till all nations agree by general compact to do the same.
While therefore we are men, and cultivate humanity, let us be armed and prepared to meet man in the form of the beasts of prey, if such there be, that we may be able to slay them that would devour us.
Let us in such a case be determined to defend ourselves, our families, and our country, and leave our lives with God our Creator.
Liberty is God's best gift to man upon earth. If we die in her defence, striving to blood, God will approve our zeal to retain the most sublime favour he hath bestowed on us.
Gentlemen, Officers, Soldiers in command! We will repossess our confidence in your zeal and exertions—in your courage and prudence. You have power; use it as your discretion dictates in your several spheres.
It would be presumptuous in me to exhort you to adhere to discipline.—You will, according to the emergency, feel all your powers as you ought; while you retain all the sympathy of your nature for your Soldiers under your command.
Militia of Gloucester present! In peace you have been peaceable; you never wantonly terrified the child, nor the mother, with your arms—you have never caused the shriek of woe.
If we should have war, never suffer your being a Soldier to inspire you with any thing but courage and humanity. Preserve your purity of morals.
Know how to conquer, and how to do to your prisoners of war, as you would be done by in that condition.
Soldiers! you live not for yourselves alone, but for your country also! Only obey your officers, and trust in God, and then, if called to it, you will bravely die, more than conquerors, or live to conquer again.
