RICHMOND, July 11.
In Council, July 10, 1807.
The governor laid before the board a letter from Henry Deare, secretary of the war department of the United States, bearing date the 6th day of July, 1807, giving the executive of Virginia to take effectual measures to organise, arm and equip according to law and hold in readiness to march at a moment's warning, eleven thousand five hundred and sixty-three militia, (officers included,) by virtue of an act of congress passed on the 13th day of Ap- ril, 1806, intitled, "An act authorising a detach- ment from the militia of the United States;" and to accept the services of companies of volunteers, conformably to the second section of the said act, or to an act of congress passed on the 24th day of February, 1807, intitled "An act authorising the President of the United States to accept the services of a number of volunteer companies, not exceeding thirty thousand men;" on due considera- tion thereof,
It is advised that orders be immediately issued to major general LEE to furnish from his division two thousand one hundred and ten infantry, one hundred and forty-four artillery, and two hundred and eighty-four cavalry, including the necessary of- ficers; to major general WILLIAMS to furnish from his division two thousand and eighty-seven infantry, one hundred and twenty-two artillery, and two hundred and forty-five cavalry, including the necessary officers; to major general PRESTON to furnish from his division three thousand two hun- dred and twenty-five infantry, (one thousand one hundred and six of which shall be rifle men,) one hundred and eighty-nine artillery, and three hundred and sixty-nine cavalry, including the ne- cessary officers; and to major general WOODSON to furnish from his division two thousand one hun- dred and nine infantry, one hundred and twenty-five artillery, and one hundred and forty-eight cavalry, including the necessary officers; the whole to be so organized as to constitute twelve regiments of in- fantry, two of cavalry, and one of artillery; to consist of a number of men not less than five hun- dred nor more in one thousand each.
It is advised that the several commanders of regiments be directed to procure the number of men required from each regiment, by accepting compa- nies of volunteers, who may, at any time previous to orders for taking the field, tender their services, either conformably to the second section of the act of congress before-mentioned, intitled "An act authorising a detachment from the militia of the United States," or to the act "Authorising the President of the United States to accept the services of a number of volunteer companies not ex- ceeding thirty thousand men;" preferring, in the first place, such volunteer companies as are already organised; and, in case of a deficiency of vo- lunteers, by drafting men according to law. If such volunteers the regiments shall exceed in num- ber the proportion of men required there from the commandant thereof shall not reject the services of any of them; it shall report the circumstance to the executive.

The documents referred to in the above advice are the following, viz:
War Department. July 6th, 1807. His Excellency & Governor of the State of Virginia,
SIR,
The President of the United States has directed me to call upon the executive of the several states to take effectual measures to organise, arm and equip, according to law, and hold in readiness to march at a moment's warning, their respective proportions of one hundred thousand militia, officers included, by virtue of an act of congress passed on the 13th day of April, 1806, intitled, "An act author- ising a detachment from the militia of the United States." This therefore is to require of your excellency to take effectual measures for having eleven thousand five hundred and sixty-three of the militia of Virginia, (being her quota) detached and duly organised in companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, and divisions, within the shortest period that circumstances will permit; and as nearly as practicable in the following proportions of artillery, cavalry, and infantry, viz: one twentieth part of artillery; one tenth part of cavalry; and the re- sidue infantry. There will however be no objection on the part of the President of the United States, to the admission of a proportion of riflemen, duly organised in distinct corps, and not exceeding one tenth part of the whole quota of the states respective- ly: each corps should be properly armed and equipped for actual service. Any companies of vo- lunteers, who, previous to orders for taking the field, may tender their services conformably to the second section of the aforesaid act, or to an act of congress (a copy of which is inclosed) passed on the 24th day of February, 1807, intitled, "An act authorising the President of the United States to accept the services of a number of volunteer companies, not exceeding thirty thousand men," will be considered as a part of the aforesaid quota of eleven thousand five hundred and sixty-three, according to their numbers; and, from the well known patriotism of our fellow citizens, it must be pre- sumed, that under the existing circumstances of our country, a large proportion of the quotas of the several states will be composed of such volunteer corps, especially, as they will undoubtedly meet with every encouragement from your excellency, and from all other patriotic, influential characters. When the detachment and organization shall have been effected, the respective corps will be exercised under the officers set over them: But will not re- main embodied, or be considered as in actual service,
until, by subsequent orders, they shall be directed to take the field; your excellency will please to di- rect that correct muster rolls and inspection returns be made of the several corps; and that copies thereof be transmitted to this department as early as possible.
I have the honour to be, Very respectfully, Your Excellency's obedient servant, H. DEARBORN. (Copy)—Test, DANL. L. HYLTOK, Clk. of the Council.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the President may, if he shall judge it expedient, author- ise the executives of the several states, to accept, as part of the said detachment, any corps of vo- lunteers, who shall engage to continue in service six months after they arrive at the place of rendez- vous.

States.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby authorised to call into actual service any part, or the whole of the said detachment, when he shall judge the exigencies of the United States require it; if a part of the said detachment only shall be called into actual service, they shall be taken from such part thereof, as the President in his discretion shall deem most proper.

Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is au- thorised to organise the companies so tendering their service as aforesaid into battalions, squadrons, regiments, brigades, and divisions, as soon as the number of volunteers shall render such organiza- tion, in his judgment, expedient; but until called into actual service, such companies shall be bound to do regular militia duty as is required by law in like manner as before the passage of this act.

The said brig arrived here about four weeks since, and proceeded afterwards to Alexandria.
FOR THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
To the Citizens of United America.
In the present crisis of our affairs, when nothing can save you from the burst of that black cloud which now overshadows you, but unanimity of sentiment, firmness of action, and obedience to the authorities you have imposed voluntarily and properly upon yourselves; one of your brethren, who feels proud to own and anxious to dignify the character of an American, presumes to address you—his objects are to impress upon you deeply a sense of your own peril—not to dismay you by its grim visage, for Americans cannot be appalled by danger, but to habituate you to its shape and form; that knowing you may not over-rate its powers, or contemn its efforts.—To recommend to your serious consideration such a course of conduct as he feels convinced is best calculated to ensure your security and avenge your wrongs, and to suggest to you the propriety of adopting such measures as he believes will soon restore to you your past tranquility, resume the light of your fading honour, and add one more and most efficient barrier for the preservation of your boasted birth right Independence—with such objects, he hopes you will regard him as he deserves, as a sincere friend, counselling you for your own welfare, and having no interest but what is yours.
After the disgraceful and outrageous occurrence which has so recently taken place, you ought to consider war as inevitable—no matter what may be the language held by your pretended friends now, no matter what efforts at conciliation British officers may affect to make, you should distrust them. Humility, contrition, and even the recantation of premeditated expressions, are not unfrequently the false lights thrown out by an artful foe to lull the suspicions of vigilance, and to cover a deadly blow intended to be aimed in the hour of slumbering security. A Judas betrayed his saviour by a kiss, and thereby taught to succeeding generations, that the smiling front of friendship may sometimes hide a heart influenced by no sentiment but what is disgraceful to humanity. If then, individuals upon whom conscience must always act as some curb, who cannot entirely silence the internal hissing of shame, or the warnings of departing honour, have been found “to smile, and smile again, but yet to be villains,”—how much more reason is there to suspect and to doubt the professions of nations, who have no conscience but interest, and the lust of dominion; who have no shame which power cannot blot out, no honour but what springs from the blood stained field of victory, or from the snare of the diplomatic labyrinth. Yes my fellow-citizens, distrust them still—vigilance can do no injury, but may save us from destruction.
Credulous indeed must he be, who after looking to past events can still believe we are secure; allow me to call them before your recollection, and then to ask if you can doubt. In December last a treaty was formed by your ministers with the British government, which contained (as it is said and believed) no provision upon the subject of impressments; this subject, there is no doubt, was warmly and often pressed upon the British government by our ministers. They had it in their instructions to make this a point of discussion, and the character of our envoys is a sufficient pledge that they did their duty; no effort on our part, however, sufficed to procure the emancipation of our brothers from the insults, violence, and tyranny of a haughty nation, who converting power into right, insisted still to retain the privilege of doing that which she had too long done with impunity. This treaty arrived here about the last of February, and was immediately rejected by the President of the United States, without even submitting it to the senate, because it contained no provision against such a violation of our rights and the violation of the law. This rejection was the cause of the present crisis.
formed of the resolves of ours previously to the sailing of the May Halifax packet, which always leaves England between the first and tenth of each month. This packet arrived at Halifax before the Leopard sailed from thence, with the orders of admiral Berkeley. Compare these dates, which upon examination you will find correct, and let any man ask himself if they do not furnish the strongest presumption that the orders of admiral Berkeley were the orders of his government, and that these orders were given to furnish to the American nation in a way which could not be mistaken, the definitive opinion of the British cabinet, upon the subject of search and impressment.—Are they not designed to convey these sentiments? you say you will not treat with us unless we absolve you from the submission to our pretended right of search and impressment; we have told you that we would not do this; you seem not to believe us sincere and fixed in this opinion, and therefore we will at once search one of your national ships; we will take from thence those whom we want, and you cannot then any longer doubt our determination. Let it not be said that these men were deserters and foreigners, and therefore, that the seizing of them is not the exercise of the power of impressment;—if the fact be so, it is but a difference in words and not of things, the principle is the same.—We declare that our flag is a sufficient protection to all it covers, and must not be violated. They deny to us this right, and search a national ship. The character of the flag is then as much attacked, its inviolability as much polluted, our rights as much assaulted, as if they had impressed our native seamen or seized the property of our citizens. The British government have therefore determined to drive you to the disgraceful abandonment of these sacred principles, or to force you into a war.
Do you doubt still upon this subject? If so, attend to other facts.—Who is admiral Berkeley? Not a youthful, heedless, dashing blade of the navy, so anxious for renown that he could precipitate his country into a calamitous and distressful war, merely that he might have an opportunity of signalizing his own courage, and proving his manhood—not a desperate adventurer, whose shattered fortune must be repaired, and who would plunge his country into embarrassment to have a chance of reclaiming his ruined affairs by the gain of prize money.—Not a drivelling blockhead who could stupidly say to day what he must retract to-morrow, or be broke for his insolence and folly.—Not a bigotted politician or vain fool, who views America as the rival of England, who would gladly make an occasion for war between the two countries, in order that this rivalry might be put down.—No, the character of admiral Berkeley is the reverse of this; he is an old man, who has arrived to his present rank in the British navy, not by any display of signal skill or valour, but by that ordinary routine of promotion which in the course of forty or fifty years will bring any man to a flag who has had friends enough to procure him a captaincy. On him, therefore, the rashness of youthful indiscretion can have no influence.—When his young blood coursed with more rapidity through his veins, history records no daring achievement characteristic of this temper, and now that its course has been regulated by long submission to rigid discipline, and checked by the cold hand of time, it is not to be believed that he should yield to such impulses which he has never before felt. He is a man of high rank, of an antient and noble family, who holds collected the acquisitions of many generations, augmented by the fortunes which he himself has acquired. Cupidity or avarice have never been ascribed to him, and he possesses enough to satisfy the pride even of a British nobleman. He is a man who for many years held a seat in the British house of commons, where he was signalized for his independence in opposing the odious acts of that administration which brought England to the brink of the precipice and lost America. In one word, he was the friend of Fox, by whose administration he was appointed to his present command, because it was believed that his former attachment to their cause would render him most agreeable to Americans. Justice is due even to our foes, and this is the character of Berkeley.
Is it then to be believed, that such a man would put to hazard his rank, his fortune, his reputation, and his hoary head itself, and all this without a single motive which can be assigned? It cannot be—every thing which we know of man disproves it; and yet all this must be supposed when we believe that he has given these orders without the knowledge or approbation of his government.
Do you still doubt? If so, attend to facts which have since passed under our own eyes, and you must be satisfied that war is inevitable. After the unlawful outrage committed upon our ship, the British squadron have returned to our own waters.—Not content with the first station, they have run up almost into your very harbour.—They are sounding your channels.—The commander has written you an impertinent letter.—He has been ordered away by your president in compliance with your laws.—But instead of departing, he is daily and hourly firing at and stopping your vessels in their own country, taking from their captains papers or any thing else he may wish, and forcing them unwillingly to bear his messages of menace and provocation. Capt. Douglas it is true disavows these messages, but they
are still sent by his officers, every man who knows any thing of the British navy, knows that this they dare not do, unless get the commanders approbation. It is not denied that these acts are done under the order of admiral Berkeley.—They are done by the British commanders now in Hampton Roads.—They are acts of war by themselves, and altho' petty efforts to play their power they are designed to provoke some act of aggression which might furnish their government a pretext for carrying into immediate execution her nefarious schemes. They have orders I do not doubt for all this, for so much consistency of conduct would not be found among many persons unless they were all acting under pre-arranged system.—Believe me then, my friends, that a war is inevitable unless you are prepared to submit tamely and quietly to all this inane, aggression, and outrage.—A supposition should dishonour any American.
I can readily conjecture what will be the course pursued by our enemies.—It will be that course of duplicity which has too often marked the conduct of this nation.—It has been begun already by their officers here, and the pantomime will be continued by their officers elsewhere, until they are ready to shift the scene and commence real tragedy which they mean to exhibit.—I explain to you the machinery which is to be set in motion, and again adjure you not to deceive yourselves as to the result.
The British minister here will avow the order of Berkeley, he will declare these acts of aggression unauthorized by his government, and possibly go so far as to send some jesuitical despatch to both these officers.—Such measures will keep up for a time the shew of amity, and are calculated still to hold open the door of negotiation. Mr. Erskine knows well, however, that a British naval officer obeys no orders but those which proceed from a higher source than any he commands—and while he as a minister holds the guage of amicable negotiation, they, as commanders, will do acts of open outrage, of gross indignity, and of flagrant war.—They may perhaps quit your waters, thereby shewing a pretended compliance with the orders of your government, but they will hover on your coast, where they may more freely perpetrate their iniquitous schemes, and at all times prepared promptly to avail themselves of any favourable occasion to strike.—This is the language that will probably be held, this is a practical commentary which will be made upon it. Do you therefore beware and suffer not yourselves to be deceived by it.
The stale reasons for all this to be found in the history of the present situation of Europe—Britain already the mistress of the seas, finds her sinews of war slackening by the effects which France, is making—Her navy, the palladium of her safety, cannot be maintained except by an extensive commerce. This is lately greatly diminished by the ordinances of France and her allied and dependent powers interdicting all intercourse between Britain and her colonies and the countries over which France has controul.—This loss must be compensated somewhere, and America furnishes the only source from whence their necessary supplies of men can be drawn.—Hence the estimate which England manifests upon the subject of impressment.
The battle of Eylau, in which the Russian general is believed (certainly by the people of England) to have gained a victory great and important, inspired the hope that the power of France was checked on the continent by the Russian arms, and that Britain would then be permitted to conduct her operations upon the sea without consequences.—That even if America were now forced into the coalition against her it would be of little consequence, and hence the haughty and imperious one she has lately adopted, hence the impudent and outrageous course she has pursued.—Americans to be humbled and this is the fit occasion for the attempt.
War is then I repeat it inevitable if you are men, and worthy of the character of Freemen and Americans.—With this truth before you, will you sleep at your posts, and awake but to witness your destruction? Will you blindly confide to professions which have once already been prostituted, and reject the means of your own preservation? If you do, you deserve the fate which awaits you—you deserve to be made the chained witnesses of every outrage, indignity and aggression which will be made upon you. You should prepare yourselves to snuff the smoke of your dwellings inflamed by the torch of a destructive foe; to hear the groans of your brothers bleeding under the furious assault which their feeble efforts could not check; to hear the shrieks of your wives and children vainly invoking you for that protection which you might once but cannot then afford.
Remember the Chesapeake! See her shattered sails, her dismasted hulk! Behold the writhings of her wounded people! Visit the graves of her slaughtered seamen! Listen to the low murmurs of her remaining crew who complain that the flag of honour has been disgraced while committed to their charge! Whence all this? Your ship was unprepared, her people were unsuspicious of danger, her officers confided in professions.—They were deceived, mangled, slain, and disgraced.—It is yours to wipe out this stain on the American character, to brighten
this blot on our honour.—But to do so you must be prepared.
I will conclude at present by reiterating that it is inevitable, and that vigilance is necessary.—In my next I will endeavour to shew you what will be the consequence of this war to yourselves, and from thence to strengthen this conclusion that you should be ready.

In actual service it has been found by long experience, that the horse and his rider should be considered and treated as one component kind of animal, whose unity of power and action, alone, can be effective: hence the necessity of cherishing a mutual attachment between the parties, and of teaching this noble and docile animal to love, honour and obey his master.
To drive full gallop off the parade through muddy streets or roads; to call Jack, Sam, or Cumbo, (which first heaves in sight) to take off the saddle, throw the bridle in the dirt, break the girts, replace a lost buckle with a rope yarn, turn Sorrel into a bare lot, without either corn, fodder, or water, and let negro Bob give him a little more street discipline, when stiffened with sweat and dust, is not the way however to secure his attachment or service; although it may happen to be a common practice in a country fraught with peculiar dangers.
In the revolutionary war (respectfully remembering the Randolph's, Carter's, Braxton's, Digges's, and many other young volunteers of the first respectability, discharged their spare horses and servants, learnt the use of a stable jacket, halter, brush, and curry comb, and were more highly esteemed by their friends and their country for their condescension. Such is now the case in the volunteer cavalry of England: a corps unequalled in point of wealth and discipline, where private soldiers of many thousands pounds sterling per annum, have thought it honourable to do the duty of common troopers for many successive years.
Let it not be said then that the picquet is the only effectual means of making it known in America, that every soldier should curry and clean his own horse, lead him to water in his halter, and never put him beyond a brisk walk till actual service requires it.

FROM THE HERALD.
The private affair between Mr. TAZEWELL and the writer of the piece signed the PEOPLE has been adjusted by a satisfactory apology from the former. The Writer for the People.
THE PUBLICATION IN THE HERALD.
In consequence of the publication of the above mentioned piece, of which Mr. Blanchard is the author, and being called on by Mr. Tazewell for that purpose in the subjoined letter, we feel ourselves bound to exhibit to the publick the whole communications, both verbal and written, between these gentlemen, all of which passed through us, or in our presence. This publication is due to the parties, to protect their characters against any unjust inferences which the world may draw from the above piece. We do this with reluctance, because we believed, and have heretofore stated, that this affair was finally, amicably and honourably adjusted between the parties.
WM. CAMMACK, On the part of Thomas Blanchard. JAMES TAYLOR, On the part of L. W. Tazewell.
Norfolk, July 14, 1807.
GENTLEMEN, In consequence of a note in the Herald of this morning, in which it is represented that the affair between myself and Mr. Blanchard has been adjusted by a satisfactory apology from me, I feel myself compelled to call upon you, and to require that the whole communications which have passed between that gentleman and myself may be immediately published. I did not desire at first that this should be done, because I did not calculate that any thing further would be said upon this subject by any other persons than those authorized by ourselves to do what was intended. I cannot, however, consent to let any representations of this affair go to the publick, from whence inferences injurious to me may be drawn, and therefore now make this request.
With great regard, Your's truly, L. W. TAZEWELL.
To WM. CAMMACK & JAS. TAYLOR, Jun. Esqrs.
On the morning of the 9th instant, Mr. Cammack handed to Mr. Tazewell the following note from Mr. Blanchard:—
Sir, Capt. Cammack waits on you with a communication from Sir,
Your obedient humble servant, THOMAS BLANCHARD.
L. TAZEWELL, Esq. And at the same time made to him the following verbal communication from Mr. Blanchard: That Mr. B. was the writer of the piece published in the Herald, signed "The People"—that in that publication he had no intention to attack the private character of Mr. Tazewell, and he hoped that when Mr. Tazewell knew this he would immediately retract the harsh expressions which he had applied to the author of that piece, but if not, that Mr. Cammack was requested to arrange every thing for an immediate meeting between them.
To this communication Mr. Tazewell gave a written reply to his friend Mr. Taylor, as follows: "In the present crisis of our affairs I have believed and still consider it the duty of every man, to preserve his reputation both as an individual and as an American citizen, free not only from any

THE LIFE OF GENERAL WASHINGTON,
By JAMES TUCKER. 5 volumes 8vo. with an elegant PORTRAIT, and a set of Maps, is now ready for subscribers, and a very low price by JAMES TUCKER.
Following remarks from a late London publication, attesting the high opinion entertained of this authentic and interesting work.
The public will learn with interest that the literary monument which has long been projected to the memory of the illustrious character of modern times, is at length completed. No apology can be requisite for erecting such a monument 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 testimonies; it has been hailed as an acquisition to standard literature; and it has been considered as deserving, in point of execution, a place by the side of Robertson's Charles the Fifth, and as rivalled in the authenticity of its materials, by any work in the entire compass of history and biography.
