STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS.
Brimfield Town-Meeting.
The 29th ult. the inhabitants in Brimfield, Massachusetts, being duly notified, assembled to take into consideration the expediency of petitioning the President of the United States to remove the Embargo in whole or in part, or to convene Congress with that view, if his powers were deemed incompetent. On this occasion, General EATON addressed his fellow townsmen in a speech, which was requested for publication by a vote of the town, and forwarded to the editor of the Boston Repertory for that purpose—from which we have extracted the following:
REMARKS BY GEN. EATON.
In the address of the inhabitants of the town of Boston to the President of the United States, and now offered to this town for concurrence, we see nothing unconstitutional nor disrespectful. Its object, if attainable, is essentially important to the commercial and agricultural interests of the country; and not less necessary to our revenue. Indeed the distress and misery occasioned among all classes of our fellow-citizens by the Embargo, this negative measure of coercion, are of themselves sufficient to justify this appeal for relief.
It is hardly necessary, at this moment, minutely to investigate the causes or the motives which induced the Embargo. Admit, what cannot be denied, that the interdictions upon our commerce by the belligerents, if they could have been enforced, would have nearly excluded us from the ocean—that by both parties we have been outraged—plundered and insulted by both—and against both had sufficient cause of war: it does not follow, from any thing, that appears to us, that the position we have taken to meet those aggressions has produced any relaxation of the restraints imposed on us as a neutral nation; nor any amelioration of our sufferings.
It is believed that no real American will deny that both France and England have given us sufficient provocation to war. Not to mention the captures, detentions, condemnations, burnings and sinkings of our ships and merchandise by decrees of Napoleon the First; not to mention his insolence at our court; his fraudulent sale to honest purchasers, of the unbounded Louisiana, and his subsequent interference in behalf of the claims of Spain to the very territory he sold us, should have been enough to have raised the resentment of the whole nation.
But all the violations of our rights, on the part of the Corsican, are silently and tamely endured, and the edge of resentment, under his patronage, is solely pointed to England. It can no longer be concealed, that the Embargo was intended for the British nation, and for her alone; else why do her ships of war continue to be excluded from our ports, and those of her enemy admitted to indulgences which are denied to our own citizens? It is believed that the Embargo was contemplated as a war measure; and meant by some leading characters of our administration, to produce that effect. Indeed I do not hesitate to assert, that war with England has been a matter of calculation with the chief magistrate of the United States. Else why have all his messengers left their dispatches in France: and to amuse our confidence, gone in blank to England? Else why do we see so many posts of trust and honor filled with avowed enemies to England and devoted friends to an usurper?
But such an event, under existing circumstances, would prove ruinous to our country. Allied, as England now is, with Spain and Portugal, the whole boundary line of these United States, both by sea and land, comprising a circumference of more than four thousand miles, would become an enemy frontier. Spain has never yet ceded Louisiana to us. The discontented subjects of that territory; the jealous Mexicans; the choice spirits on the waters of the Mississippi; the restless, untamed sons of the forest, and the British provinces of Canada would all co-operate against us on that border; what barrier can we oppose to them in defence of that great section of the Union?
Come to our Atlantic sea board. What have we to defend our commercial towns and cities, the seats of our wealth, and resources of our revenue, against the combined navies of Great Britain and her allies? Will our gun boats and mud batteries do it? The notion is ridiculous. Can Bonaparte do it; Every body knows he cannot float a Frenchman across the Atlantic, except in the disguise of a mandarin! A great statesman and philosopher would recommend asylums in mountains—But the dwellings, like
the habits of New England, are too fixed for mountain retreats. Our altars and fire sides we cannot abandon for caves and grottos. Neither the policy nor the energy of the heads of administration can protect us at home, where shall we look for protection? Shall we cede ourselves to France by alliance with her tyrant? We commit national suicide, and die an ignominious political death. We have the fate of half Europe to admonish us against such a dependence.—Bonaparte, like Judas, kisses to betray.—The only possible benefit resulting from his good graces would be calmly in from the "tempestuous sea of liberty," and securely grounded in the dry docks of despotism.—Our imperial and royal ally would graciously signify to us his paternal solicitude for our safety by creating his well beloved nephew DON JEROME PATTERSON NAPOLEON, king of these states; and his faithful and trusty general and plenipotentiary TURREAU lieu. and regent of the kingdom during the minority of his said nephew. Our governors of states would be provided from his general staff. Are Americans so soon prepared for this political annihilation and voluntary transmigration into reptiles? Not yet!—Let us be loosed from the shackles which depress the nation; put on our armor; and let us like Spaniards, resist the lure and the fraud of a blood-stained son of rapine. To support this position must we take the hand of England? Then would our catastrophe be as certain; though we may linger out somewhat longer a disgraceful existence.—Both these nations have an itching palm for this country. They have contended for it ever since its discovery, even when a forest. The oldest soldier and youngest student among us know this. But if a period when wild and unproductive, it was an object of contest, how much more so now when it might produce to a conqueror or a seducer a revenue or contribution of thirty millions a year. Against the lust of conquest and the pride of empire do we expect national justice to defend us? The term alas, is no longer to be found in the libraries of courts! Can meekness save us? When have we known a tyrant lift his foot from the neck of a voluntary slave! No; It is upon the arm of God and the use of our own means that this nation must rely for the recovery of its rights and for the maintenance of our independence. Under that almighty protection we must stand by our own strength or a country receiving foreign protection who were not ultimately reduced to vassalage. Alliances have generally ended in the same way the very instant a preponderance of power and advantage has fallen into either scale.
The great events now agitating in the eastern continent, may, and it would seem must so completely occupy the warring rivals of Europe that their avarice would be turned from the United States for a time; and great advantages, if improved, thence result to our commercial enterprize. Lift the embargo; leave commerce to shift for itself; and, in despite of imperial decrees, we have open a vast field for the display of this enterprise. We have the British ports every where—Sweden and Norway—the whole coast of Portugal and Spain—the islands of Minorca and Majorca—the whole Turkish coast of the Mediterranean, except Algiers—the entire western and southern coast of Africa—the borders of the Red Sea—India and China—Madeira, Teneriffe and the Azores—most of the rich islands of the West Indies—the Spanish and Portuguese coast of South America—the whole American coast of the Pacific Ocean.
And, what is more important to us, our own coast and our own fisheries comprising more than four fifths of the commercial coasts of the four continents, and productive islands of the seas. Shall we forego all the advantages which could be derived from these sources of wealth from dread of the decrees of an adventurer, who has grown potent from incident, and who the justice of Heaven may soon throw back to impotence on his native island of rocks and sterility? A mighty man of valor who dares not send a bomb-ketch to sea through dread of his enemy! Such humility is too degrading to the feelings of brave men and honest Americans.
Agriculture is the handmaid of Commerce, says a great man. But if the abilities of the governess be pinioned, where shall the handmaid find means to be useful to herself?—The present times answer the question.—What is to be done with the surplus produce of our hard earnings upon our hard farms? Perish in our granaries and cells! Where is the circulating medium of our country?—Embargoed. How shall the farmer and the fisherman discharge his contracts? By bankruptcy! How is the civil list to be paid?—And how the national debt provided for? By direct taxes! How find the means to pay direct taxes? Our dignified retirement within ourselves does not afford them.
Our national father, Washington, in all ways recommended to the states as a bond of union, mutual sacrifices, forbearance and sufferings. (I wish his views may be read in caucus .) How has his counsel been respected? The states have been left naked of defence, spare money for caparisoning a horse in the west of our ancient boundaries (for so is Louisiana) and it is believed the embargo was recommended, in some measure to gratify the imperial vender of that liberty lest in his wrath he should discount it. Whatever the inducement to the war, sure, the author could not but foresee, if continued, operate unequally on the different states. The north and south have not the natural resources of the east and west. Some of our necessities of many of our conveniences, and most of our luxuries, are derived from commerce. Deprive us totally of this resort, and both real and imaginary will assail us, and will produce that discontentment which presidential proclamations will find it difficult to pacify. Let us be indulged in the exercise of our natural energy, the use of our resources, and the pride of our independence; and we will not be reproached with the philosophy which seeks shelter in a mountain or a tub. I shall vote for the Boston address—and hope the president will give it, graciously, his high countenance.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL
NEW-YORK, September 19.
Arrived brig Alfred, 19 days from Croix (w. I.) Left brig Sarah Ann, bound to sail for New York the first September. At Basse-End, brig Sally Ann, Daniel and Neptune, Prince, both just arrived from New York. The English brig Isabella arrived at Basse-End, from St. Andrews with flour. A schooner and a sloop just arrived at West-End, with rice and flour. Passengers, David Codwise, Counselor Benson, Judge Morrison, Cornelius Martin and Peter Roberts. Markets dull excepting flour, which was 28 dolls. per bbl. A free trade was opened with the Spanish colonies, great surplus of corn, rice & cattle had arrived from Porto-Rico.
Of the Spanish news brought by the Sherardessa we have confined ourselves for the present to the detail of Gobert and Dupont's defeat, and to the rumours contained in several private letters from Cadiz. A very interesting account of the circumstances which preceded this event is now in the hands of the translator, and will be given to-morrow.
The French army before Saragossa has made a third attack upon that place but without success. They were repulsed with great slaughter.
Intelligence of the Peace between England and Spain was received at Cadiz the 2d July, and occasioned much rejoicing.
We feel an indescribable pleasure in reiterating the assurances we gave on Saturday that the Spanish patriots are successful in every direction; and that the designs of the Great Bandit against the moral and political liberties of mankind have been arrested in their progress, even in the land of religious intolerance and political degradation.
Translation from Spanish papers received by the Sherardessa from Cadiz.
PUBLIC NOTICE.
The Field Marshal Don Teodoro Reding, has sent the following dispatch, dated on the 22d inst. to his excellency Senor Don Francisco Xavier Castanos, General Chief of the army of operations of Andalusia.
Most excellent sir, since the dispatch which I transmitted to your excellency on the 17th inst. informing you of the attack made by the division under my command upon that of Gen. Gobert, who was killed in the action, and whose division was dislodged from all its positions which it had been contiguous to Baylen, and completely beaten, and of the reasons which induced me to return to Menjiber; I repassed in the afternoon of the 17th the river Guadalquvir, and took a position that night—on the 18th at day break I was joined by the second division under the command of Field Marshal the Marquis de Compingny, and we both marched towards this town for the purpose of attacking the enemy if he occupied it.

As soon as I arrived, in obedience to your excellency's orders, I disposed of the columns of attack, facing towards Andujar. At 3 in the morning of the 19th, when the troops were forming to begin their march, Gen. Dupont with his army attacked our camp and commenced a fire of his artillery with a design, doubtless, to surprise us, but with the quickness of lightning, all the troops of the two divisions, led by their worthy officers, flew to the points attacked, assisted by the artillery of both. At sunrise our troops were in possession of the heights which were formerly occupied, and the enemy began their attacks upon various points of the line, having the advantage of forming their columns under cover from our fire in consequence of their occupying a better position protected by their artillery.
At every point they were repulsed, and in their turn assailed notwithstanding the violence of their attacks, which they repeated without more interruption than was necessary to fall back and form new columns, until half past twelve, but were fatigued without being able to gain ground, although they had several times broken our lines of defence, with the intrepidity of troops accustomed to conquer and penetrated our batteries, which were served that day in a manner which astonished and terrified the enemy and which has few examples, for they not only immediately dismounted all the artillery of the enemy, but routed whatever columns presented themselves, always protecting the points attacked and varying their positions as circumstances required.
General Dupont then placed himself with the other generals at the head of the columns supported by the artillery, and made a last attack with admirable boldness; but with no better success, and we are told by the enemy that 14 of their guns were dismounted, that their loss amounted to 2000 men killed and many wounded, among the latter Dupont and two other generals.
In this situation general Dupont requested to capitulate, and hostilities were suspended in both armies, it being agreed that they should remain in their respective positions, and the consequence of the valor and constancy of the brave troops composing these two divisions has been the total defeat and capture of the army of Dupont, and that of Bedel has shared the same fate, with the difference only of receiving their arms at the time of embarkation, notwithstanding the position which the latter took contrary to the laws of war, after the suspension of arms granted to it and to its general in chief.
[The remainder of this dispatch contains only an enumeration of the Spanish officers who distinguished themselves, and an eulogium on their conduct—it thus concludes:]
I glory in having commanded such worthy troops who have sustained the honor and reputation of the Spanish nation, and shewn how capable they are of supporting the noble cause which has obliged them to take up arms in defence of their religion, their sovereign and their country; and who in two actions only have destroyed the enemy and accomplished the design of the wise government which employed them, and reposed in them its confidence.
REDING.
Baylen, July 22, 1808.
MOST SERENE SIR,
I have the satisfaction of acquainting your highness with the complete victory obtained since the battle of Baylen. Gen. Dupont and the whole of his division, with their arms, artillery, baggage, &c. are prisoners of war. The others who were not in the action, although they are not in the same situation, are included in the capitulation, and obliged to return to France by sea, so that not one Frenchman remains in Andalusia. The particulars will be communicated to you, by my nephew colonel don Pedro Agustín Giron, adjutant general of infantry, and until you receive circumstantial details, your highness may be assured, that the bravery of the troops and officers, their constancy, sufferings and privations, correspond with the sentiments which your highness entertains of them, and which the army merits, and with the opinion which I have of their patriotism and zeal for the public service.
I make bold to request your highness to fulfil for me the vow which I had made to dedicate this action to the glorious St. Ferdinand. God preserve your highness many years.
Head quarters at Andujar, 21st of July, 1808.
XAVIER DE CASTANOS.
His serene highness the president of the supreme council.
Yesterday the 20th, Spain, or rather the army of your highness, obtained the most complete victory which the nation has seen for many ages. The result is an imitation
of the battle of Pavia: in one moment the Andalusias are freed from the French arms. The division of Dupont with every thing belonging to it and all its generals are captured, and the other divisions which occupied his majesty's dominions from the summit of the Sierra to Baylen, evacuate the peninsula by sea. This is the substance of the treaty which his excellency general Castanos and I had the pleasure to sign last night, and as we left the camp at midnight exhausted by fatigue and watchfulness, it is not possible at present to transmit to your highness the details of the capitulations and battles, but I shall do it as soon as time permits.
This pleasing intelligence will be communicated by don Pedro Agustín Giron, lieutenant colonel of the columns of provincial grenadiers with the rank of colonel and adjutant general, an officer of the highest merit, who by the talents and bravery which he has displayed in many actions, and particularly in this army, has rendered himself worthy of whatever favors your highness may be pleased to bestow upon him.
I have ordered allegiance to be sworn this day to our new king don Ferdinand VII. which had not been performed in this city, the Te Deum to be sung, and illuminations for three nights.
God preserve your highness many years. Head quarters at Andujar, July 21, 1808. EL CONDE DE TILLY.
His serene highness, the president and members of the supreme council of Spain and the Indies.
Captain Doan sailed from Cadiz on the 1st of August, and informs that two days previous the British admiral off Cadiz, received orders from his government to raise the blockade; that the Spanish and French fleets remained in the harbor of Cadiz; that Madrid and Barcelona were still occupied by the French; that General Junot kept possession of Lisbon; and that the Russian fleet lay quiet in the Tagus.
Captain D. further states, that markets in Cadiz were very dull; flour from 6 to 8 dollars and all kinds of provisions plenty; that the harvests in Spain had turned out very abundant.
Capt. D. has brought dispatches for the government.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated 28th July, to a merchant in this city.
"General Dupont has surrendered with his army of 16,792.
"It is reported this day, and firmly believed, that king Joseph, on his way to Madrid, with 15,000 men, was attacked by general Cuesta, and compelled to seek safety, in flight, leaving on the field of battle the greater part of his army.
"P. S. July 29th. We have just received accounts from Malaga that on the 29th instant a zebec from Ivica reached that port with news of the arrival at Ivica of an English frigate, much shattered, in consequence of an engagement which she and the rest of the fleet to which she belonged, had with a French fleet of eleven ships of the line, conveying troops to Spain. When the frigate left the fleet the English had sunk two ships of the line, taken two others, and were pursuing the remainder."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cadiz to his friend in this city, dated July 30.
"The victory over general Dupont's army was obtained by a force of sixty-thousand peasantry; and it inspired the Spaniards with such enthusiasm, that they now denominate themselves "The conquerors of the conquerors of Austerlitz and Jena."
"The British forces under sir Arthur Wellesly, consisting of ten thousand men, landed at Lisbon, and the attack and defeat of general Junot is daily expected. He has only about ten thousand men in Lisbon and its vicinity. A few days since all British troops that were here 5000, under general Spencer, set sail to join sir Arthur, and by this time must have arrived.
"It was yesterday reported that eleven sail of French ships of the line, from Toulon for Spain, with troops, had been attacked by admiral Thornborough's squadron in the Mediterranean, and that two had struck, two had been sunk, and the English had been pursuing the remainder. This is generally believed.
"No business of any kind is doing here. Prices of course are nominal. The wheat harvest has been abundant, and flour is selling at 7 dollars per barrel. Nothing from America will do here excepting tobacco, and that it is expected will soon come from the Havanna. Exchange on London about 15 per cent discount."
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated July 24th.
The ship Shepherdess brings information that the Spanish court of admiralty at Alge-
siras, condemned the end of May, eleven American vessels detained and sent into that place—that appeals from those decisions were entered, and that on the 2d of June an order was received from the duke of Berg, for the restoration of the vessels detained under the decrees of the 17th December, and 3d and 8th January, which was acted on, on account of a change of the government; but the supreme junta at Seville issued an order on the 16th for the liberation of all Americans brought into their port; on which the court at Algesiras refused to act, until they received further explanation from the supreme junta at Seville, which had been received on the 28th of July. Therefore Mr. Hackley, the American consul at St. Lucar, intended leaving that place for Seville, the following day, for the purpose of procuring such explanations as would be likely to remove all objection to the restoration of the American property in Spain, under detention.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated 28th July, 1808.
"The paper enclosed contains the details of the capture by the troops of this single province, of an entire French army which consisted when it left Madrid of 22,000 men.—The capitulation was signed on the 21st inst. The prisoners actually surrendered are said to exceed 16,000, and at this time there remains not a single Frenchman in arms in Andalusia. In most of the other provinces the whole mass of the people have displayed a determined spirit of resistance to the French, and several very bloody battles have been fought, which have uniformly terminated in favour of the Spaniards, particularly at Saragossa, and Valencia, where two very considerable bodies of French have been totally cut to pieces; in short, the Spaniards appear so unanimous and so zealous in their determination to drive the French out of the country, that I am not without great hopes of their complete success. As yet, no general government has been formed, but the Juntas or Councils established in each province for its temporary government, have taken the most decided measures to oppose the enemy with success, by obliging all the inhabitants between the ages of 18 and 45 to serve in the army without distinction of rank. Envoys have been sent to England to demand supplies of arms and ammunition, these have been received in the most flattering manner by the government of Great Britain, to whom their revolution is all important and a subject of much exultation. But while I rejoice that Bonaparte is likely to be stopped in his career to universal despotism, I very much fear it will increase the difficulty of bringing our disputes with G. Britain to a favorable conclusion."
Extract of another dated 29th July.
"The post from Malaga has just arrived, and brings letters, dated 26th inst. containing the following information, viz. That on the 26th, in the afternoon, a Xebec from Ivica entered that port, and brought intelligence that before her departure from that island an English frigate had arrived there in a damaged state, having been in an engagement which had taken place in the Mediterranean between an English squadron commanded by admiral Thornborough, and a French fleet of 11 sail of the line from Toulon, with troops on board destined for Spain—When the frigate left the fleet, two French ships were sunk and two taken, and the English were in pursuit of the others. The letters say that the account is fully believed in Malaga, and that an express has been sent off by the government of that place with the news to the Junta of Seville."

VERMONT ELECTION. —We have seen an unofficial statements of votes in a number of towns in Vermont; the aggregates of which are for Mr. Tichenor, the federal republican candidate for the office of governor, 10,258 For Mr. Smith the democratic candidate, 9,521
Federal majority, 437
A great number of towns remain to be heard from; which, we trust, will increase the present majority. Beside, our statements are now principally derived from democratic papers.
The new Vermont legislature will meet in October.
[Boston pap.]
A gentleman who left Northfield, Vermont on Wednesday morning 14th inst. was then informed, by an intelligent person, that it was believed the state government would be federal in all its branches. Mr. senator Bradley, has been met on the road from Vermont to Connecticut; he stated, that the delegation to congress would be two federal and two democratic. There is but one federalist from that state in the present congress.
Mr. Hubbard and Mr. Chittenden are
undoubtedly chosen—and we expect one more. [Ibid.]
We have been favored by Mr. LATROBE with a particular account of the accident at the capitol on Monday. Its length with the lateness of the hour, at which it was received, and the interesting foreign news, compel us to defer its publication till our next, excepting the beginning of it which follows:
On Monday the Vault of the Court Room in the North Wing of the Capitol fell down. Several workmen, under the direction of Mr. John Lenthall, the clerk of the works, were under the vault, lowering down that part of the centre which still stood under it just before it fell. A loud crack gave notice of their danger, and all of them escaped out of the windows, or under the adjoining vaults, excepting Mr. JOHN LENTHALL, who to judge from the place in which his body was found, wanted only a single step to have secured his retreat also. But being under that part of the arch, the centre of which had been removed on Friday; he was suddenly buried under many tons of bricks, and must have been instantaneously deprived of sensation and life.
As all the buttments of this vault are standing, without the smallest failure, it is not easy satisfactorily to account for the sudden falling of the work. Not. Intelligencer.
The intelligence, which we this day publish, is glorious to the arms of Spain, and grateful to every real patriot throughout the world. In the bloody battle, which preceded the surrender of the French army, a full refutation is given, of the infamous slander, which, to the dishonor of our country, has been uttered here, by the advocates of French despotism, that "the Spaniards would not bear the smell of Gunpowder,—and, we are much mistaken, if this unworthy sentiment is not brought much more feelingly home to its author."
Let those Americans, who remember the events of our own struggle, recollect the influence of the Battle of Trenton, and the capture of a single brigade of Hessians, on the public mind, and they will form a more correct idea of the effect produced, by the defeat and surrender of the French army on the cause of the Spanish Patriots, than is to be derived from Frenchified opinions, and slanders against that gallant people, conveyed thro' the channels of newspapers, &c. by men, who were unknown to our Revolution and utter strangers to its sufferings or its triumphs.
In the surrender, at discretion, of SIXTEEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY, of the best Troops of France, who are to remain Prisoners of War—with the additional Convention, that every French Soldier, from the Sierra Morena to the Sea, shall immediately embark for France, a blow has been given to the Military Power of Napoleon, far surpassing in present effect, and eventual consequence, all the reverses he has heretofore suffered.
After the translations by the Mail from New-York were in type, we received the Extra Chronicle of Gibraltar, of the 25th of July—as the difference in translation were unessential, we have given the Official Dispatches from the New-York Evening Post.—In addition to them, our readers will find other interesting matter, under the head of our Private Correspondence.
