THE EDITOR'S CONCERNS.
In common with the rest of our fellow-citizens, the situation into which recent circumstances has placed our town, is seriously felt by us. We mention it not as repining, for if it was increased tenfold, we would submit without a murmur, sooner than sigh for an amelioration at the expense of our country's honour and independence. Norfolk has felt more of the pressure of the present times than any other place, but she has disdained to seek a relief by unmanly concessions. It is true that threatened one day with actual blockade, and constantly so de facto , the operations of business have become almost suspended.
Our distant subscribers, for whom this article is chiefly designed, will we hope, remit us the amount of their arrearages, which would at all times have been acceptable, but at the present juncture would be highly serviceable.
It was yesterday rumoured that the French ship L'Patriot , of 74 guns, had got down the bay, and proceeded to sea; we have the best reasons for saying that the report is without foundation.
On Wednesday evening two of the British ships (the Triumph and the Melampus ) left Hampton Roads, and went down to the Capes; the Bellona and the Leopard remain as before.
We have not understood that the Proclamation of the President has been officially communicated to the commander of the British ships, although we believe that he is informed of it, but most probably waits an official notification before he departs, if he means to depart. This notification will probably be given this day.
It is very evident from subsequent events, that commodore Douglas repents the letter which he addressed to the Mayor; he may have further and more serious cause of regret on this subject. We were never more disappointed in the result of any affair, than we were in the present case. The spirited, and at the same time discreet answer returned by the Mayor, placed the British commander in a situation the most awkward that can be supposed. He did not appear to be sensible at first of the high and responsible ground which he was about to assume. To blockade a port of a neutral and friendly power, and to detain its vessels going out and coming in, would be no less an act of hostility, than if a force had been landed, and a fort or post retained. Neutrals submit with much reluctance to the exclusion of their commerce to belligerent ports by blockade; force and not right too often settles the question. The British commander from his acknowledgement to Mr. Tazewell, had no orders to commit acts of hostility, but in defence of his flag; he therefore could not execute what he menaced in his letter of the third, without doing what he was not authorized; he did not appear when he wrote to recollect that the act was an act of hostility. Sensible now of his error, he wishes to give an explanation to his letter, which it is not susceptible of. No one can mistake its meaning, and it was in this way we were mistaken, for when we read his letter, we concluded that hostilities were to follow. The limitation of hostility prescribed in the letter, had no weight with us, for when hostility begins, it is not for one party to determine its limits.
It however is evident, from the result, that commodore Douglas has conducted himself upon this occasion without any credit to himself, or honour to his country. To threaten with a view to intimidate, does not furnish the evidence of understanding or courage. If this affair concerned the future fate and reputation of captain Douglas only, we should not perhaps have noticed it in this way; but there is some reparation to be made for the insult, and for the consequences which have followed. The executive of the state, considered from the letter of commodore Douglas, that hostilities would commence immediately, and accordingly ordered a military force to repair to this place and Hampton. The publick expense, the inconvenience to citizens, many of them engaged in important and useful avocations, brought upwards of 100 miles from their places of residence, and the particular injury done to this place in various ways, all demand reparation.
It is some consolation to reflect, that the conduct of our magistracy upon this occasion, has been marked with so much prudence and firmness.
In the narrative which we published the 24th of last month, it might be inferred that the men taken from the Chesapeake had deserted from the Halifax ; the fact is, they had left the Melampus ; but admiral Berkley's instructions contained a list of eight men, which the commander of the Leopard was ordered to search for and take, if found on board; four had belonged to the Melampus , the other four to the Halifax . We state from good authority, that capt. Humphries was ordered to offer permission to commodore Barron to search the Leopard for American seamen, and that he communicated these orders to commodore Barron. Such a offer might have the appearance of reciprocity, but
nothing more. The commander of the Leopard , knowing that he was to make this offer, could very easily have removed any Americans that might have been on board to any of the other ships. An offer to permit a search of all the ships, would have produced a substantial benefit, but all this is mere trifling—no national ship ought to be searched, and although we ever have advocated, and still do advocate the creation of a navy, we would rather see the few ships that remain destroyed, than to surrender a principle that would reduce us from the rank of an independent nation.
The Federal, and state Executives, are daily adding to the security of our place. We are already in a state to bid defiance to the force now within our waters. This evening the Richmond and Petersburg Cavalry are expected at Portsmouth. The Infantry may be expected on Sunday.
Yesterday a large quantity of Gunpowder and shot arrived for the use of the naval force of the United States.
MEETING AT GLOUCESTER COURT HOUSE.
On the 31st anniversary of that day when America assumed a station among the powers of the earth, to which she was entitled by the laws of nature and of nature's God, on the ever memorable 4th July, a large number of the citizens of Gloucester county convened at the court-house to deliberate on the measures proper to be adopted on the present awful crisis of publick affairs, when PHILIP TABB, esq. was unanimously called to the chair, and RICHARD BAYNHAM, appointed secretary.
On motion, resolved unanimously, That a committee be appointed to draw up an address and resolutions, expressive of the sense of this meeting, and Mann Page, Richard Baynham, George Ball, John A. Smith, William Taliaferro, Josiah L. Deans, Mordecai Cooke, John Lewis, Wm. Camp, and Nathaniel Burwell, were accordingly appointed, who after some time reported the following address and resolutions, which were unanimously agreed to.
The history of all nations evinces these melancholy truths, that there is a time when forbearance among them, as between individuals, ceases to be a virtue; that there is a time when a love of peace will be construed into a fear of war, and by inviting oppression plunge them into that extremity they wished to avoid: in the annals of no nation are these facts so forcibly exemplified as in those of G. Britain; a country whose intercourse with foreign nations has been one unvaried scene of duplicity, rapine and devastation; as the plains of Hindostan (to mention no more) can witness: a country whose history affords not the record of one solitary act which justice can sanction, or humanity applaud; a country whose arrogant pretensions to maritime superiority has uniformly prompted to the perpetration of the most atrocious and nefarious acts. Let the murder of Pierce, the mock trial of Whitby, and the still more recent cowardly and unparalleled attack of the British ship Leopard , on the United States frigate Chesapeake , bear ample testimony, which adds one, and we hope the last, to the long and black catalogue of British outrage.
Resolved unanimously, That this meeting is now and at all times ready to draw their swords, and to risk their lives and fortunes in defence of their just rights and national independence, and to keep them unsheathed not only until ample indemnity for the past, but full security for the future, shall be obtained.
Resolved unanimously, That in the opinion of this meeting, nothing can atone for the murder of their unfortunate fellow citizens, but the blood of their assassins.
Resolved unanimously, That this meeting far from intending to prescribe to the executive of the United States, reposes the most implicit confidence in his wisdom, energy and promptitude.
Resolved unanimously, That this meeting highly approves the conduct of their fellow citizens of Norfolk and its vicinities, and heartily recommend an unanimous adoption of similar measures throughout the union.
Resolved unanimously, That a copy of the proceedings of this meeting be transmitted by the chairman to the President and to the governor of Virginia, and that they be published in such newspaper as he may think proper.
Resolved unanimously, That Mr. Tabb is entitled to the thanks of this meeting for the prompt and able discharge of the duties of the chair.
PHILIP TABB, Chairman. Richard Baynham, Sec'y.
From the Enquirer—July 7.
Last Sunday night, an express from Norfolk brought dispatches to the governor, among which was one from Richard Evers Lee, Esq. mayor of that borough, inclosing copies of a threatening letter which he had received from commodore J. E. Douglas, commander of the British squadron in Hampton Roads, and of his answer, which breathes the true spirit of a brave American patriot. In consequence of these dispatches the council of state convened, early on Monday morning, and have been in session engaged in very important business ever since, with but little intermission.
In the present state of affairs, we are not permitted to publish at full length the advices which they have adopted, and must be contented to inform our readers that energetic measures have been taken to enforce the president's proclamation, and to repel
the invasion of our territory by the British; the board having unanimously declared that the commonwealth is invaded.—A detachment of militia is ordered to march immediately to Norfolk, and another to Hampton.
To aid in defending the former from our perfidious enemies, captain Richardson's and captain Peyton Randolph's companies of infantry, and captain Shepherd's troop of cavalry, are to march without delay from the city of Richmond: and captain Thomas Bolling Robertson's and another company of infantry, together with capt. Bowden's troop of cavalry, from the town of Petersburg; the infantry is to be commanded by major John Amblor, and the cavalry by major John McRae; the whole on their arrival at Norfolk to be under the command of brigadier general Mathews. The colonels of all the regiments on the sea-coast, the bay, and the shores of the rivers Potomack, Rappahannock, York and James, below their falls, are commanded to take prompt measures by calling out their militia to resist any attempt of the crew of any British armed vessel to obtain provisions or supplies of water; and other military arrangements of considerable importance have taken place, which will be made known to the publick in due time.
In Council, July 7, 1807.
The executive having received the report of col. George W. Smith, commandant of the 19th regiment, stating the promptitude with which the detachment ordered from that regiment, was furnished by a tender of the services of volunteers; and that the number of officers and soldiers whose services were offered greatly exceeded the amount which he was authorised to accept; it is unanimously advised, that the governor be requested to present the thanks of the executive to colonel Smith, and through him to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the 19th regiment, who have, with such zeal and alacrity, stepped forward to repel the aggressions of an insolent and insidious foe. The thanks of the executive are particularly due to the following officers and soldiers, for the patriotism displayed by them at this important crisis; to captain William Richardson, of the Richmond Light Infantry Blues—captain Peyton Randolph of the Richmond Republican Blues—and capt. Benjamin Shepherd of the Richmond Troop of Cavalry; and the officers and soldiers under their command; whose services are accepted; and to the following officers and soldiers, whose patriotick efforts could not be accepted, capt. Edward Hallam of the Shockoe volunteers; lieut. William Street of the Washington and Jefferson artillery; captain Christopher Tomkins of the main body of militia; capt. John Fleming Price of the same; and to the officers and men under their command.
It is also advised, that the thanks of the executive be presented to captain Thomas Bolling Robertson, of the Petersburg republican light infantry, and to the officers and soldiers under his command, for the patriotick zeal which they have displayed in offering their services to their country, before it was known to them that the duty had been assigned to them of marching to Norfolk, for the purpose of repelling the invasion, and of enforcing the president's proclamation.
It is also advised, that the thanks of the Executive be presented to capt. Richard Coke, of the Williamsburg Troop of Cavalry, and to the officers and soldiers under his command, for the patriotick offer made by them of their services, which cannot immediately be accepted, but of which, in conformity with their own laudable request, the Executive will with great pleasure avail themselves, whenever the publick service may require.
It is advised, that the above orders be immediately published.
Extract from the minutes.
DANL. L. HYELTON, C'k of the Council.
It is stated in a letter from Washington, "that at least 3 out of the 4 seamen, which the capt. of the Leopard demanded of Commodore Barron, were not only Americans, but had been impressed; and although the evidence respecting the 4th, was not so full, Mr. Erskine appeared to be satisfied; and it was believed by our government that all controversy respecting them was at an end—it is also believed that the Leopard was at Halifax when the last British packet arrived, which was the station of Admiral Berkley. Capt. Humphreys proceeding from thence with the orders of his admiral, and committing the outrage, leads to a belief that it was ordered by his government, and that it might have been given in the identical case."
The Troop of Horse are to set out this morning at sun rise.—The Light Infantry companies are under marching orders at 12 o'clock.—As the Editor is attached to the corps of Republican Blues, he confidently trusts that his friends will excuse him from the discharge of his professional duties until his return—mean-time he has requested a very intelligent friend to superintend his paper.
From the Aurora, July 2.
We are about to lay before our readers the proceedings of a publick meeting, held in this city yesterday, which convey to the world the sentiments of freemen, at this momentous crisis, in a manner, and in a language that do honour to our country.
The concourse of citizens, which assembled on this occasion, exceeded in numbers any that has perhaps ever been before witnessed in America—from six to ten thousand persons have been mentioned as having been present, and we shall probably be correct in stating the number at about six thousand.
The number, however, was the least distinguishing evidence of the ardour of the people—the countenance of all exhibited at once anxious solicitude and enthusiastic firmness—there was no longer a distinction of parties; local or party objects where wholly excluded from reflection; and even personal and private prejudice were overcome, in the superior claims of unanimity and confidence. Those, who had heretofore arrayed themselves in opposition to each other, on the grounds of political controversy, met and were emulous in giving effect to the true objects of association. We record it with pleasure and with pride, that the eye of the stranger could no where have discerned any other feelings or conduct, than such as the welfare and honour of the nation demanded.
Nor can we stop here and proclaim no other encomium upon this meeting. Great as were its numbers, and distinguished as was their patriotick spirit, the good order and dignified moderation which pre-
vailed, were above all conspicuous—giving at once an evidence of honourable discretion, and rescuing a free and enlightened people from the reproach of turbulence, which has been so often represented as the inevitable result of popular assemblies. In no other country, perhaps, has so large an assemblage ever been collected on ordinary occasions, which separated in so creditable a manner; how much more honourable, then at a time when outrages are committing against the honour of the nation and the lives and property of its citizens. The meeting was held, we might say, in front of the house of the British consul; yet, there was not a word, not an action, that could have given offence or have reflected upon the nation—a commentary upon the conduct of this government the most honourable to ourselves, the most instructive to our oppressors.
When the resolutions had been adopted by the unanimous acclamations of thousands of freemen, two pertinent and excellent addresses were delivered to the meeting—one by Mr. Walter Franklin, the other by Mr. Richard Rush—the approbation with which they were received, was evinced by the peals of joyous and patriotick applause and exultation which rung from every quarter. Their sentiments were worthy of '76, and were responded in that enthusiastic and manly manner which so honourably distinguished the era of American independence.
ERROR CORRECTED.—It was rumoured yesterday, that a number of young men, composing a volunteer band, over whom the editor of this paper is presumed to have influence, had assembled on Tuesday night opposite the house of Mr. Bond, British consul, in this city, and there played several tunes of an insulting nature.
It is deemed proper to state that this report is totally destitute of truth, as respects the authors of this indecency—neither the editor of this paper nor any one under his influence is disposed to countenance such conduct; they disapprove of and would be among the first to repress it. Upon enquiry, we consider ourselves authorised to say, that there are none of the volunteer bands, who would not consider such conduct equally unworthy of themselves and their country.
We take this occasion to express our unqualified disapprobation of such proceedings. Our wrongs are national, let our redress be national. ibid.
WASHINGTON, July 3.
At a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the City of Washington, convened at the Theatre on Wednesday the 1st ins. in consequence of a notification of the Mayor.
ROBERT BRENT, Mayor of the city, was unanimously called to the chair, and LEWIS FORD, appointed secretary.
The chairman opened the meeting by declaring the object for which it was called.
He then laid before them a letter from the meeting at Norfolk, containing a statement of their proceedings, which were read.
Col. Van Ness then rose, and delivered an address of considerable length, painting in strong colours the atrocity of the conduct experienced by the ship Chesapeake , and inviting the citizens to such an expression of their sentiments, as should evince firmness and prompt decision: and concluded by recommending the appointment of a committee to draw up such resolutions as the occasion required.
Whereupon, Resolved unanimously, That a committee of five citizens be appointed to draft such resolutions as in their judgment the occasion requires.
The following persons were unanimously appointed.
John P. Van Ness, Samuel H. Smith, Daniel C. Brent, Thomas Munroe, Joseph Forrest.
The committee having retired, and in a short time returned, and presented to the meeting the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted.
Resolved unanimously, That we have heard with a surprise, only surpassed by our abhorrence, of the late atrocious outrage offered by the commander of the British ship Leopard , to the rights of Americans and the honour of their country.
Resolved unanimously, That we are ready at a moment's warning to obey the call of our country, by any resistance it may require, or sacrifice it may enjoin, to obtain redress for wrongs, which can no longer be endured without a total prostration of national character.
Resolved unanimously, That having full confidence in the wisdom and patriotism of our government, we pledge our lives and fortunes for the support of such measures as shall be adopted, calculated to convince our enemies that we are, and will forever remain, a free and independent people.
Resolved unanimously, That we warmly applaud the patriotick spirit of our countrymen, as already expressed in various parts of the United States, and will cheerfully and zealously co-operate with them in such further measures as the crisis shall require.
Resolved unanimously, That at such a crisis it becomes the whole people of the United States, decisively to express their sentiments and promptly to offer their services to their government, that the world may see that on such occasions as the present we are an undivided people.
Resolved unanimously, That the foregoing resolutions be transmitted to the President of the United States, and be likewise inserted in the publick prints.
Resolved unanimously, That a committee of five citizens be appointed to correspond with such other committees as may be appointed in different parts of the United States.
John P. Van Ness, Samuel H. Smith, Daniel C. Brent, Thomas Munroe, and Joseph Forrest, were appointed said committee.
Resolved unanimously, That a subscription be opened by the corresponding committee for the relief of the widows and orphans of those persons inhumanly murdered, and generally for the relief of those wounded in said outrage.
Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of the meeting be presented to the chairman for his able discharge of duty.
ROBERT BRENT, Chairman. LEWIS FORD, Sec'y.
GEORGETOWN, D.C. July 1.
Agreeably to publick notice given this morning by the Mayor, a very large and respectable number

of the citizens of this place convened at the Union Tavern, for the purpose of expressing their sense of the late daring outrage on the FLAG—HONOUR—AND INDEPENDENCE of the American nation, by the British squadron now lying in the Chesapeake Bay.
General John Mason was chosen Chairman, and David Wiley, secretary.
A communication from the Corresponding Committee of Norfolk, addressed to the Mayor and Citizens of this place, was read.
On motion, the following gentlemen were appointed a committee to draw up such resolutions as the occasion appeared to require—John Mason, Thomas Turner, Walter Smith, Stephen B. Balch, Thomas Corcoran, James S. Morsell, Benjamin Stoddert, and David Wiley.
After a short retirement, the committee made report—Whereupon,
Resolved unanimously , That this meeting consider the late unwarrantable, dastardly and wanton attack on the frigate Chesapeake, by the British ship of war Leopard, as an outrage on the peace and safety of the community, and on the honour of the nation, not to be borne with.
Resolved unanimously , That we consider the death of those of our fellow-citizens who have fallen on this unprecedented occasion, as produced by a murder of the blackest dye—as calling loudly for unqualified redress, and if prompt and ample satisfaction be denied, for national vengeance.
As we first heard of this infamous act with astonishment, mingled with horror and indignation, so we yet regard it with feelings of the deepest resentment, and of the most decisive determination that no sacrifice is too great to maintain our independence, national honour, and character.—Devoted, by inclination and by habit, most sincerely to peace, we deprecate a state of war. But as there are cases where nothing is left but war or abject submission—war or national disgrace—war or the surrender of every thing we hold most in society—the mind of a freeman—of an American citizen cannot balance one moment; therefore,
Resolved unanimously , That having entire confidence in the wisdom and firmness of our government to repel injury and insult, and to enforce redress, we pledge our lives and fortunes to support all the measures which they may adopt, whether of immediate or ultimate resort to arms.
Resolved unanimously , That in the present state of things, and until the decision of our national councils shall be known, we concur most heartily with the determination of our fellow citizens of Norfolk, that all intercourse with the British ships of war in our harbours, or on our coasts, or with their agents among us, should be discontinued—that we will use our best endeavours to prevent such intercourse, and that all persons guilty thereof, shall be declared infamous.
Resolved unanimously , That immediate enquiries be made for the families, if such they had, of Joseph Arnold and Robert McDonald, said to have been our neighbours, and of the City of Washington, and who fell under the late piratical fire of British guns—and if there be such families, that a subscription be opened without loss of time by our committee appointed on this occasion (in conjunction with any committee from Washington) for their relief and comfortable support.
Resolved unanimously , That Mr. Mason, Mr. Morsell, and Mr. Turner, be a committee on the part of this meeting, to wait on the President of the United States, and hand him a copy of these proceedings.
Resolved unanimously , That this meeting most cordially approve of the spirited, patriotic, and decisive conduct of the good citizens of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Hampton, and that in the opinion of this meeting they are highly entitled to the thanks of all the people of the United States for the manly, prompt, and efficacious measures adopted by them—and that the committee answer the communication of the 25th inst. from Norfolk, and transmit them a copy of these proceedings.
Resolved unanimously , That the committee cause the proceedings of this meeting to be published for the information of the citizens—and that they correspond, if requisite, with any other committees which may be appointed on this occasion.
JOHN MASON, Chairman. DAVID WILEY, Sec'y.
On motion, Resolved , That this meeting present their Thanks to the Chairman and Committee, for the prompt and able management of the business of the evening.
ALEXANDRIA, July 3.
At a full meeting of the citizens of the town of Alexandria, assembled on the market square, agreeably to the invitation of the mayor of the town, on Thursday, 2d July, 1807. The meeting adjourned to the theatre, when Jonah Thompson, esq. was chosen chairman, and George Deneale, secretary; it was then unanimously resolved as follows:
There having been too much reason to conclude that the various and repeated instances of aggression and insults, which our flag have sustained from British cruisers, proceeded either from the rancorous hostility of the British government, or from a systematic and ignominious, but deceitful calculation upon our tameness, in being forced, by compulsion or menace, into humiliating sacrifices to their cupidity or their pride; it has been with a patience not unmixed with a just indignation; from a love of peace, whose sincerity has been sufficiently demonstrated by the trials it has withstood, that we have seen every pretension of that government (whether advanced under any colour of right, or arbitrarily assumed as an innovation) not subjected by them to amicable negotiation, but at once, and without warning, bluntly exacted by open force, while on our part, not the demand of mere rights, but redress for grievous and irritating injuries, satisfaction for lawless outrage and violence, have been submitted to the inevitable delays of pacific remonstrance, and every definitive result evaded by the purposed procrastinations of diplomatic discussion. A love of peace, cherished as a clear principle of deliberated and reasoned conviction, as a sentiment of enlightened humanity, should never have been mistaken, by the most inveterate promoters of war and violence, for the pusillanimous suggestion of sordid interest or timidity; it was well hoped that all the world would have been sufficient cause to allow both the spirit and the capacity for a manly assertion of their rights and an honourable defence of their country, to a people whose devotion and whose prowess in the publick cause
had been hailed as an illustrious and animating example to the nations of the earth. Little indeed ought it to have been supposed that, of all others, the British government should calculate upon the ultimate success of a system of terror and coercion.
Preceding occurrences in the intercourse between the two nations having for some time turned our thoughts to the possible necessity of such a resistance on our part as might resume the flame of war, it is with no hasty disregard or infatuated blindness to the chances attendant upon such an event, that we enter upon our present deliberations. We have been well aware that the British nation would find themselves most obnoxious to injury from whatever weapons of offence it might be in our power to wield against a foreign foe; that wrongs, of such outrage as almost to bring in question the integrity of our existence as an independent nation, have been confounded in the perplexed and entangled mazes of negotiation, till the nearly assuaged sense of injury has been waked to a new and aggravated feeling of resentment by some more galling violence—that even if the obnoxious hand of time could efface from our own recollection the extent and the atrocity of these injuries, still it was to be apprehended that each disgraceful instance would be sedulously reproduced in their memory by the enemies to our peace and independence, and become a precedent to sanction future repetitions; until the competitors in the strife of war and bloodshed shall become envious of the privilege of trampling upon so tame a subject. We have perceived that if compelled to become a party in the strife of warring nations, it would instantly become the clear interest as well as duty of every inferior maritime power, most scrupulously to respect every exemption from belligerent vexation, aggression or insult, which we might achieve against England, in the event of such a contest. Yet have we foreborne every act of hostility suggested either by policy or resentment; not only have we suffered, without retaliating, the spoliations of predatory cruisers, but even the unhallowed violation of that sacred tie which binds the free citizen to his republick, the prompt and efficacious vindication of his personal liberty. Immured in the loathsome prisons of the ocean, our citizens, in sight of their native shores, have invoked rescue and protection in vain; those shores have only served to re-echo their groans, and to reverberate with the ignominious lash inflicted by the hand of foreign tyranny. To suffer beyond this, without resentment, would be weakness, not benevolence; cowardice rather than patience.
But now when such a recent spectacle of undisguised atrocity assails us—when our coasts and our towns are openly beset and menaced by a British squadron, with all the audacity of ruffian power, and all the insolence of outrageous insult, it is time that the truly American character should display itself in open day; it is time that every minor interest should give way, that every subordinate passion should subside. It is time that the American people should be invoked with undivided hearts and united hands, to prepare for the vindication of their rights and the defence of their shores.
Therefore Resolved , That we hold ourselves prepared to support, to the utmost of our power, and at the risque of our lives and fortunes, every vigorous and efficient measure of our government, to punish or redress the atrocious and dastardly attack on the British ship of war, the Leopard, upon the American frigate Chesapeake; and all the other flagrant wrongs and insults which the British government have been so long accumulating upon us, and which yet remain unpunished and unatoned.
2d. Resolved , That we sincerely applaud the patriotic resolutions and conduct of our fellow-citizens of Norfolk, and that we co-operate with them and all other good citizens of the United States in their most strenuous endeavours to effect the object of those resolutions.
3d. Resolved , That John McKinney, Charles Simmes, Robert Young, Walter Jones, Jun. Francis Lightfoot Lee, Cuthbert Powell, N. Fitzhugh, Elisha C. Dick, and James H. Hoos, be, and they are hereby constituted a permanent committee of correspondence, with powers to make all suitable arrangements for promoting the publick safety and the defence of the country.
4th. Resolved , That the proceedings of the meeting be signed by the chairman and secretary, and a copy transmitted by the permanent committee to the president of the United States, and the principal sea-port towns, and that the same be published in the newspapers.
5th. Resolved , That the thanks of this meeting be tendered to Jonah Thompson, esq. for the discharge of the duties of the chair.
JONAH THOMPSON, Chairman. GEORGE DENEALE, Secretary.
BALTIMORE, July 6.
The United States' schooner Revenge, now at Baltimore, is under orders to be in readiness to proceed to sea. She is to convey to our minister at London, despatches instructing him to demand of the British government the explanations and satisfaction, which the late outrage on the Frigate Chesapeake necessarily requires. Consistently with the usages of civilized nations, the act of its petty officers cannot be considered as the act of the British government until an opportunity be afforded them of avowing or disavowing it.
A number of vessels which were on their way to sea, put back yesterday, the owners or masters not considering it safe to proceed.
Extract of a letter from the American Consul in Leghorn.
"I am in hourly expectation that the vessels arrested by the French privateers will be liberated and that similar evils will not again be renewed; and I ground this belief on the letter which I have received from Jno. Armstrong at Paris, a copy of which I now enclose to you:
COPY.
PARIS, March 10.
SIR, I have received the several letters you done me the honour to write me, in relation to certain American vessels destined to Leghorn, and captured on that port. These captures appear to have been made under a misapprehension of the true meaning of the imperial decree of the 21st of November last, which the government assured me was not intended to alter in any way the commercial relations of France and the United States, as regulated by their treaty of 1800. A decision of the Court of
Prize which I expect every moment and which cannot but conform itself to these assurances, will not only remedy the evils that have happened but prevent the occurrence of others of a similar character.
I am, &c. (Signed) JOHN ARMSTRONG. Appleton, esq. Consul of the United States of America at Leghorn.
PHILADELPHIA, July 3.
It is proposed for the consideration of the militia and volunteers of the United States, that, in consequence of the insults, vexations, injuries, plunder and murders of the British navy—they agree not to appear on parade or duty in any stuff, cloth or apparel of the growth, product or manufacture of the British dominions or dependencies.
In consequence of a rumour that there was a British vessel lying at South-street wharf, loading with guns, pistols, swords and other military stores, a number of citizens assembled last evening, and went on board for the purpose of ascertaining facts. Having satisfied themselves in these particulars, they unshipped the rudder, carried it into Chesnut-street, and laid it down in the street opposite the house of the British consul. Except the measure pursued to prevent the vessels putting to sea, we have heard of no injury being done.
We just learn that the committee appointed at the town meeting on Wednesday last, have taken the above vessel into their care, and pledge themselves to an enraged and numerous multitude, that the brig shall not be permitted to sail until it is fully ascertained that she has no supplies of any kind for the British navy. The committee have done themselves credit by their prompt and active interference in this affair. Had they not interposed their good offices, the probability was the brig would have been considerably damaged.
Much credit also is due to the people assembled for their ready acquiescence in the arrangements adopted by the committee. Capt. Huff and two other persons are appointed to take care of the vessel. We are authorised to say that the address read from the committee is gone to press, and will be published in hand-bills this evening. It shall also appear in our next paper.
[The following article does honour to the Committee of Philadelphia, and is worth the attention of every American.]
July 4.
To the Citizens of the First Congressional District.
Fellow-Citizens, As a committee appointed by yourselves, we flatter ourselves, that you will not consider it as wholly foreign to our duty, to offer to you our sentiments, if not our advice. Our sensibilities are equally keen with your own, we are as much alive to our national wrongs and as ardently disposed as yourselves to contribute our assistance to redress those wrongs, by every means in our power, under the direction of that government, which, as a portion of the American people, we have aided in establishing.—To that government, our duty as citizens, calls upon us to look as our guides at this momentous crisis; to their measures ought we to lend our utmost efforts; to their will ought we to yield a ready obedience; but imperious honour and duty ought to teach us to forbear from every act which could embarrass its councils, or distract its measures. A dignified and temperate course of conduct, and a submission to the guidance of an administration, constituted by themselves, ought to distinguish freemen; and while they feel, they ought to evince to the world, that as the real sovereign of the country, they reflect also.
The calm but energetic display of resentment on the ever memorable day of the meeting which constituted us its organ, has given to you a character for moderation and forbearance, which does honour to our cause, and to our country; and sore indeed, would be our regret, if that character should now be tarnished by any act which would not stand the test of cool and sober reflection. It is not by violence on individual property, or insults offered to men, that the nation is to be redressed. Our wrongs call for a different remedy, and a more extensive cure. National wrongs require national redress; and as we have pledged ourselves to the administration of the general government "to make any sacrifices, and to encounter any hazards," let us be faithful to that pledge, and act only under its authority.—In this obligation we are partners with you and we too are embarked in the common cause; permit us then, fellow citizens, to entreat you to take no step but under the direction of that administration to which you have pledged yourselves to make any sacrifices, and surely a sacrifice of feeling. It is a sacrifice of feeling, of momentary feeling only, that we ask of you. To avenge on innocence what is due to crime only, cannot correspond with your sense of justice or of right. To injure individual property, or to wound individual feeling, for outrages committed by the British government alone, your sober reflection would condemn.
We cannot for a moment suppose, that the freemen of this district, while they feel the keenest resentment at the British violence and outrage, would pursue the footsteps of a British mob. Fellow citizens, we invite your forbearance, we solicit your moderation, we appeal to your magnanimity to continue that dignified and firm course of conduct, which, on the first day of July, shed such a lustre around the character of the freemen of the first congressional district of Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, July 3, 1807.
[This address was signed by every member of the committee present.]
BOSTON, June 29.
An English paper of May 16, observes—The policy of America appears...
vernment has returned a treaty, which contains concessions by Great Britain, which every Englishman, except the ministers who granted them, considered as degrading and unjust. And it now is said, it insists, that American ships shall in all cases protect their crews even if they are known to be British subjects or deserters from British ships of war. If this be fact, America will certainly find herself in a mistake. The period of concession is gone by. But some of the mad papers talk of confiscating British debts, &c. as if two could not play at that game. It is well known, there is much more American property in England, than there are British debts in America.
NEW YORK, July 3.
GENERAL MEETING.
At a general meeting of the citizens of New York, held in the Park, on Thursday, July 2d, 1807—the hon. De Witt Clinton was unanimously called to the chair, and gen. Jacob Morton, was unanimously appointed secretary, of the meeting.
Having received, with the most lively indignation, authentic information that, on the 22d ult. an attack, unwarranted by the known usages of nations and violation of our national rights, was made off the Capes of Virginia, on the United States Frigate Chesapeake, Commodore Barron, by his Britannick majesty's armed ship the Leopard, Capt. Humphrey—The citizens of New York, assembled in general, deem it to be their duty to express their opinions on this fresh outrage offered to their national sovereignty by the navy of Great Britain.
Resolved , That it is, and has been, the policy of our government, and the wish, because it is the interest of our citizens to be at peace with all the world.
Resolved , That although we cherish peace with the greatest sincerity, yet that we hold ourselves ready, at the call of our government to resist all infringements of our national rights and violation of our national honour.
Resolved , That we consider the dastardly and unprovoked attack made on the United States armed ship the Chesapeake by his Britannick majesty's ship, the Leopard, to be a violation of our national rights, as atrocious as it is unpremeditated.
Resolved , That we are determined to maintain the rights and dignity of our country with our lives and fortunes, and that we will support our government in whatever measures it may deem necessary to adopt, in the present crisis of affairs.
Resolved , That whatever differences of opinion may exist among us in our merely local concerns, yet that we love our country, and will cordially unite in resisting the attempts of any nation to invade our rights or tarnish our national honour.
Resolved , That the offending ships at Hampton Roads have wantonly violated the laws of, and forfeited their title to national hospitality.
Resolved , That we highly approve the spirited and patriotic conduct of our fellow citizens at Norfolk, Portsmouth and Hampton.
Resolved , That we deeply lament the death of those of our fellow citizens who fell, and sincerely sympathise with those who were wounded on board the Chesapeake.

Complaints having been frequently made by persons who procure Bark, and are too careless to preserve it, that op- pressive deductions are made for that which may be damaged, thereby subjecting them to the alternative of carrying it home where it is of no value, or of submitting to what they think an imposition. It is necessary to apprise them, that it is my determination to receive hereafter no Bark which may be in- jured at any deduction whatever. THEO. ARMISTEAD. April 13. tf

SLOOP EXPERIMENT, FOR PASSENGERS ONLY.  ELIHU S. BUNKER, Begs leave to inform his friends and the pub- lic, that he will, on the first of July, commence running a Sloop of about 110 tons burthen, between the cities of New- York and Hudson, for the purpose of carrying passengers. Few people who have had occasion to take passage up or down the North River, but have experienced the inconveni- ence and risk of going on board vessels deeply loaded and lumbered on deck: therefore captain Bunker has determined to take no freight on board the Experiment, which will reme- dy that inconvenience and entirely do away the risk. The owners of this vessel being desirous to render the pas- sage as short, convenient, and agreeable as possible, have not only taken care to furnish her with the best Beds, Bed- ding, Liquors, Provisions, &c. but they have been at very great expense, and trouble in procuring materials and building her on the best construction for sailing, and for the accom- modation of ladies and gentlemen travelling on business or for pleasure. The Experiment will leave New-York every Wednesday evening precisely at 6 o'clock, and Hudson every Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, throughout the season. Capt. Bunker having been several years engaged in the righting business between New-York and Hudson, has be- come well acquainted with every part of the river; and he hopes by attention and punctuality, to merit the patronage of ladies and gentlemen from the southward, who may visit the celebrated Ballston, Saratoga, and Lebanon Springs, or travellers who may have occasion to travel through the north- ern states.—The shortness of the passage to Hudson when compared with that to Albany or any place above Hudson, (where the river is impeded by bars, islands and overslows, that render it impossible for fast sailing vessels to pass) he thinks will induce most people who are acquainted with the difference, to take passage to Hudson, where carriages or boats can at all times be had, at a moderate expense, to convey them to Albany, Troy, Lansingburgh, or the Leba- non Springs, which are about 30 miles distance. HUDSON, May 1807. 12:2aw

A WORK That ought to be in the possession of every MAN. THE LIFE OF  GENERAL WASHINGTON, Complete in 5 volumes 8vo. with an elegant PORTRAIT, and a variety of MAPS, is now ready for subscribers, and a few copies for Sale by JAMES TUCKER. The following remarks from a late London publication, at- test the high opinion entertained of this authentick and in- teresting work. "The publick will learn with interest that the literary mo- nument which has long been projected to the memory of the most illustrious character of modern times, is at length com- pleted. No apology can be requisite for erecting such a monu- ment to him, who was the first in war, the first in peace, and the first in the hearts of his fellow citizens: to him who was the founder of a great and prosperous empire, and whose moderation and pure patriotism challenge the imitation of all statesmen. This performance of judge Marshall has already been distinguished by the most honorable & unequivocal testi- monies; it has been hailed as an acquisition to standard lit- erature; and it has been considered as deserving, in point of execution, a place by the side of Robertson's Charles the Fifth, and as unrivaled in the authenticity of its materials, by any work in the entire compass of history and biography.
