At a meeting of the Rifle Corps of the town of Alexandria, held the 27th of June, 1807, Capt. John Bonsal, Chairman, and A. Lindo, Secretary. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we believe it the wish of our government, and the interest of our country, to cultivate peace and friendship with all nations, if it can be effected without surrendering our sovereignty.
Resolved, That the tyrannick conduct of the British nation on the ocean has justly rendered her odious among all civilized powers.
Resolved, That we view the late savage and dastardly outrage committed by the Leopard British ship of war on the United States frigate Chesapeake, with due indignation.
Resolved, That we conceive it our bounden duty at this awful crisis, to express our sentiments, that our governments may not be at a loss to find out the true friends to America that are willing to embark in her cause, to convince that haughty nation that the spirit of 76 yet reigns in their hearts.
Resolved, That as a volunteer corps we do tender our services to the President of the United States, pledging ourselves never to disgrace the American flag when unfurled; and that we will hold ourselves in readiness, at a moment's warning, to obey the call of honour, in defence of our national dignity.
Resolved, That the resolutions entered into at a meeting of the citizens of Norfolk, command our respect.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be transmitted by the Chairman to the President of
the United States, and that they be published in the newspapers of this town.

FREDERICKSBURG, July 3. At a meeting of the citizens of Fredericksburg and its vicinity, convened at the Town Hall, July 1st, 1807—
Wm. SMOCK, (Mayor) Chairman. James Brown, from the committee appointed at the last meeting, of June 27th, to prepare an address to the president of the United States, presented the following memorial:
To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES. The Memorial of the citizens of Fredericksburg and its vicinity.
Sheweth, That British injuries, long and unrelatingly pursued, have filled the bosoms of your memorialists with sentiments of the strongest indignation—that, in these injuries, there has been nothing wanting of predatory outrage and national insult, to stamp them indelibly on the feelings and recollections of Americans—your memorialists are attached to peace—are warmly attached to fair and honourable peace. They have hitherto suppressed the emotions which British violence has kindled—they have warmly pleaded that policy of our government which has sought redress of wrongs, through amicable and rational discussion, and have anxiously marked the progress of negotiation, which, they fondly hoped, would restore to their country her rights redressed, and her name untarnished—but that negotiation has been found to be the protraction of wrongs. Instead of evils redressed, outrage has become more daring. The vessels of America have been seized and plundered; her citizens have been impressed and plundered; her ports and harbours have been infested with British force—her sovereignty and independence have been flagrantly insulted and violated. And when justice has demanded from the government of Great Britain signal punishment on the violation of her flag, and of her territory, and on the murder of an American citizen, he has been discharged from the mockery of trial with triumphant acquittal.
The late unwarrantable and unprovoked attack of a British squadron upon the United States frigate Chesapeake, fills up the measure of astonishment and of patience—it strips the American flag of its honours, and, if submitted to, will leave this country without a name.
Your memorialists pronounce that the present is a crisis which is to fix the American character for ever. It will either terminate the career of American glory, or will prolong it to the latest posterity. It must furnish the sad memorial of blighted honours, of withered strength, and of premature decay; or it will transmit to succeeding generations the untarnished splendour of that name, which is derived from the conquest of freedom, and the achievement of the revolution.
At the present crisis, but one sentiment thrills through the nation. It warms, invigorates and connects the hearts of ALL in one firm, unanimous resolution to resist the British violence and outrage. It renounces that hostile peace which presents the spectacle of unrelenting cruelty and warfare on the one side, and of forbearance to retaliate by force on the other.
These memorialists repose a confidence in the government of their country, to which its virtuous and upright administration pre-eminently entitles it. They rely upon its wisdom and firmness to adopt the most prompt and efficient measures, to rescue their country's honour from disgrace and to secure her rights from violation. In the pursuit of such measures, they pledge the government their warmest support, and their firm resolve to devote their fortunes and their lives to the preservation of the rights and the dignity of their nation.
These memorialists beg leave to offer their best wishes for the happiness and prosperity of the president of the United States, and to tender him their friendship and high esteem.
Which memorial being read, was unanimously agreed to. And it was therefore ordered, That the same be signed by the chairman of the meeting and transmitted, in the behalf of the citizens of Fredericksburg and its vicinity, to the President of the United States.
On motion, ordered, That David C. Kerr, John W. Green, Robert Stannard and John Tayloe Lomax, be a committee of correspondence to communicate with the committees of Norfolk and other places.

Our last noticed the correspondence between Captain Douglas and the Mayor of our Borough. We now are enabled to present our readers with the following report made to the Mayor, together with the second letter of Captain Douglas.
Norfolk, July 5, 1807.
SIR,
In pursuance of your request, I this day went down to the British squadron, lying in Hampton Roads, for the purpose of delivering the letter with which I was charged to capt. Douglas; on arriving alongside his ship, the Bellona, I was invited on board, received by capt. Douglas himself at the gang-way, and conducted to his cabin, where I found assembled all the captains of the squadron. I immediately informed him that you had yesterday received a letter from him, the answer to which I had been requested to deliver, and placed it in his hands. He read the letter very attentively, and then handed it to capt. Hardy, from whom it passed to the other captains in succession. When they had all perused it, capt. Douglas observed to me, "I presume, sir, you are acquainted with the contents of this letter;" I told him I was perfectly so. He then stated that his letter must have been misapprehended, that it contained no expression of menace which he recollected, and that it certainly was not his intention to use language which could be construed to convey such ideas: he referred to capt. Hardy, saying, that he had shown him the letter previously to its being sent, and had requested his opinion as to its sentiments; capt. Hardy concurred with capt. Douglas in the opinion and objects of the communication. I then remarked to them the particular expressions in the letter, which I considered as the language of threat, and adverted to the circumstance of the words "immediately answered," being underscored. He said that this underscoring must have been done by his clerk, without his direction, and had escaped his observation; but again assured me, upon his honour, that if any expression in the letter wore the appearance of a threat, it was not intended to be so understood.
Captain Douglas next adverted to the conclusion of the letter, in which the alternative of peace or war is left to himself—He said upon this subject, that he had no orders to commit any act of hostility, and that there was no man from whose intention or wishes such an object was more remote. That he was anxious to preserve the relations of amity, which had existed between the two governments, and that no act of his should tend to interrupt their harmony, unless he was ordered by his superiors to perform such acts, in which case, as an officer, he must do his duty. He repeated, however, that he had at present no such orders, nor did he expect to receive such. He stated that he had it in charge generally, to guard his flag, and those under its protection from insult or assault of any kind, and that this in all situations he must unquestionably do. But that any further measure he was not at present authorized, nor was it his intention to take. I here stated to him the many insulting menaces, which had been communicated in Norfolk, as coming from him. He positively denied ever having uttered any such—declared if they had been used by any of his officers, that they were unauthorized, and disapproved of by him, remarking at the same time, that he hoped all who knew him, would do him the justice to believe, that he was not in the habit of using the language of threat—He here too again referred to all the officers to say, if they had ever heard him at any time, even while speaking confidentially to them, utter such expressions, and they united in declaring that they had not.
A desultory conversation then took place between capt. Douglas, the other captains, and myself, which continued nearly an hour, in the course of which many remarks were made, which had no reference to the subject of your letter, or were in any way connected with it: these, sir, I have already communicated to yourself, and to all my fellow-citizens, with whom I have conversed upon this subject; but as they are not connected with the subject of your letter, I presume it would be unnecessary again to detail them here. In the course of this conversation, I described to them as well as I was able the sentiments which universally prevailed, through the country at this time, the cause from whence it proceeded, and the effects it would produce, provided any effort on their part should be made to oppose the publick resolves, as to intercourse or supplies. I explicitly declared that we had as yet received no authority from our government to proceed to acts of aggression, but that we were authorized, and were prepared for defence, and for the protection of ourselves and our property; to prove which I placed in the hands of capt. Douglas, an extract from the letter of governor Cabell, to brigadier general Mathews, which I had made for that purpose: I concluded by warning him again
not to send any of his officers or people on shore, for that if he did, the arm of the civil authority, did not believe, would be able to protect them from the vengeance of an enraged people; that this might lead to consequences which might possibly be yet averted, and if he was sincere in the sentiments he had expressed, he would be anxious to prevent such results. Capt. Douglas, and all the captains, declared, that they were aware of the present state of the publick feelings, and deplored the circumstance which had excited it; that they did not intend to expose any of their people to the resentment of ours, which they could conceive was highly inflamed; that as to supplies they did not want any at present, but when they did, they should not attempt to procure them in any way which would excite the opposition of the citizens of this country.
Upon the subject of intercourse, he did not expect to hold any with the people of this country, nor was there any occasion for it. He only wished to be permitted freely to communicate with the accredited officers of his government here, who had been formally received and recognized by our executive, and whose functions he presumed none but the government had the right to put down. As to the particular manner in which this communication might be carried on, it was a matter quite indifferent to him.—He had no objection to that being regulated by ourselves, in any way which is judged proper, and that he would certainly pursue the mode which might be suggested as most agreeable to us, provided the channel of communication was kept free and open.—To this I stated, that I had no authority from any person to enter into any engagement with him, but that as an individual I would state, that the letters he had forwarded under cover to you had been safely delivered, and that therefore, I presumed any other despatches of a like kind would be treated in the same way.—But upon this subject, I could only refer him to you and your associates for information.—He then stated that he would to day write an answer to your letter, which he should forward as before, and I left his ship, Capt. Douglas again repeating the substance of what I have already stated.
From the moment I approached the Bellona to that on which I left her, my treatment from Capt. Douglas and all his officers, was marked by as much attention, politeness, and respect, as any gentleman ever received from others. My particular friend Mr. James Taylor, jun. accompanied me on board the British ship, for reasons that will at once suggest themselves to you, when you remember the delicate and embarrassing situation in which I might be placed. He remained on board the whole time with me, and was a witness to every thing which passed. I have read to him this communication, Sir, in order to ascertain if my recollection was correct, and he accords with me in every statement here made.
I have forwarded a copy of this letter to the Governor of Virginia, and to the Federal Executive, believing that at this time it is the duty of every citizen to keep his government well informed of every thing which may be useful.
I am respectfully, Sir, Your most obedient servant, L. W. TAZEWELL.
To RICHARD E. LEE, Esq. Mayor of the Borough of Norfolk.
His Majesty's ship Bellona, Hampton Roads, 6th July, 1807.
SIR,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 1000 your letter of the 4th instant, in answer to mine of the preceding day, requesting that the British consul might be restored to his powers.
As every circumstance relative to the above communication was so fully discussed in presence of the gentlemen deputed by the magistracy of Norfolk, as bearers of your despatch, I have only in addition to remark, that as far as I am individually concerned, every exertion shall be used that can, consistent with the honour and dignity of the British flag, tend to an amicable termination.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient humble servant, J. E. DOUGLAS.
RICHARD E. LEE, Esq. Mayor of the borough of Norfolk, Virginia.
A letter from a gentleman in Richmond to his friend here, states, that the express which was sent off on Saturday last, in consequence of Commodore Douglas' first letter, arrived there on Sunday evening, upon which the Richmond Cavalry and Artillery received orders to march for this place immediately.
From another source we understand that 1000 militia were ordered to repair for this place.
The President's Proclamation, which we published yesterday in an extra sheet, is again republished in this day's Ledger. This cannot fail at this interesting crisis, to be considered but as a document of the first importance. The measures which the Executive proposed to pursue on this occasion, were looked for with a degree of anxiety proportioned to the magnitude of interests which was to be involved. The powers of the executive are limited. He can call Congress, he can forbid the armed ships of Britain from entering the waters of the United
States, and he can seek reparation by negotiation. The second he has done, and we may fairly infer that the last will also be adopted. Whatever may be the case, it is to be fairly inferred that the President does not believe that this particular act has been or will be sanctioned by the British government. With such impressions then, the President could pursue no other course. The state of our relations with Great Britain as well as with all other foreign powers, it is presumed is best known to the Executive.
There has been but one sentiment upon this occasion; the outrage is insulting to our national character beyond forbearance—Ample reparation must be made, but the mode of obtaining it ought to be left to the Executive, who is confident of the support of the whole nation, if satisfaction is not given. It is not to be expected that the same unanimity will be found as to the means, tho' all agree in the end.
I HAVE read in the Herald of yesterday a publication of some anonymous scribbler, who signs himself "The People:" If the infamous insinuations therein, so ambiguously expressed, are designed to apply to me, I proclaim the writer of that publication (whoever he may be) a vile CALUMNIATOR, and a SCOUNDREL.
I went on board the British squadron by the order of the magistrates of this borough, for the purpose of bearing a letter from the Mayor to the British commander: while there I held a conversation with him, the substance of which I communicated in writing immediately upon my return, to the President of the United States, the governor of this state, and to the Mayor of this corporation, adding such observations as I deemed pertinent or useful; nothing occurred while I was on board which could wound the feelings of any American; on the contrary, during this whole period, I received from the British commander, and from all his officers, as much politeness as any gentleman could expect, which I endeavoured to reciprocate, by conducting myself with that proper civility, which every man who can call himself a gentleman, ought on all occasions to observe.
If obedience to the orders of the officers of the laws, fidelity in the execution of their wishes, and decency of deportment, constitute an offence, I am guilty. But if in these there is no impropriety of conduct, I again proclaim as a SLANDERER, and a VILLAIN, him who has used this cowardly effort to traduce me, for doing thus much, and thus much only.
July 8, 1807.
L. W. TAZEWELL.
Captain Maxwell, arrived here on Monday last in the schooner Dianna Talbot, in 9 days from Havana. The day before he sailed a vessel arrived at that place in 6 days from New Orleans, a passenger in which informed Captain M. that a duel had been fought between Governor Claiborne and Mr. Clark, the Representative in Congress for that district. The challenge was given by Governor Claiborne, and the duel fought about 75 miles within the Spanish territory. Governor C. was wounded dangerously immediately under the right hip. The informant saw Governor C. brought into New Orleans two days before he left that city; from the wound, and pain occasioned by travelling, serious apprehensions were entertained for the life of the Governor.
By THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
During the wars which, for some time, have unhappily prevailed among the powers of Europe, the United States of America, firm in their principles of peace, have endeavoured by justice, by a regular discharge of all their national and social duties, and by every friendly office their situation has admitted, to maintain, with all the belligerents, their accustomed relations of friendship, hospitality and commercial intercourse. Taking no part in the questions which animate these powers against each other, nor permitting themselves to entertain a wish but for the restoration of general peace, they have observed with good faith the neutrality they assumed, and they believe that no instance of a departure from its duties can be justly imputed to them by any nation. A free use of their harbours and waters, the means of refitting and of refreshment, of succour to their sick and suffering, have, at all times, and on equal principles, been extended to all, and this too amidst a constant recurrence of acts of insubordination to the laws, of violence to the persons, and of trespasses on the property of our citizens, committed by officers of one of the belligerent parties received among us. In truth these abuses of the laws of hospitality have, with few exceptions, become habitual to the commanders of the British armed vessels hovering on our coasts, and frequenting our harbours. They have been the subject of repeated representations to their government. Assurances have been given that proper orders should restrain them within the limit of the rights and of the respect due to a friendly nation: but those orders and assurances have been without effect; no instance of punishment for past wrongs has taken place. At length, a deed transcending all which we have hitherto seen or suffered, brings the publick sensibility to a
serious crisis, and our forbearance to a necessary pause. A frigate of the United States trusting to a state of peace, and leaving her harbour on a distant service, has been surprised and attacked by a British vessel of superior force, one of a squadron then lying in our waters and covering the transaction, and has been disabled from service, with the loss of a number of men killed and wounded. This enormity was not only without provocation or justifiable cause, but was committed with the avowed purpose of taking by force, from a ship of war of the United States, a part of her crew, and that no circumstance might be wanting to mark its character, it had been previously ascertained that the seamen demanded were native citizens of the U. States. Having effected his purpose, he returned to anchor with his squadron within our jurisdiction. Hospitality under such circumstances ceases to be a duty: and a continuance of it, with such uncontrolled abuses, would tend only by multiplying injuries and irritations, to bring on a rupture between the two nations. This extreme resort is equally opposed to the interests of both, as it is to assurances of the most friendly dispositions on the part of the British government, in the midst of which this outrage has been committed. In this light the subject cannot but present itself to that government, and strengthen the motives of an honourable reparation of the wrong which has been done, and to that effectual controul of its naval commanders, which alone can justify the government of the United States in the exercise of those hospitalities it is now constrained to discontinue.
In consideration of these circumstances and of the right of every nation to regulate its own police, to provide for its peace and for the safety of its citizens, and consequently to refuse the admission of armed vessels into our harbours or waters, either in such numbers or of such descriptions, as are inconsistent with these, or with the maintenance of the authority of the laws, I have thought proper in pursuance of the authorities specially given by law to issue this my PROCLAMATION, hereby requiring all armed vessels bearing commissions under the government of Great Britain, now within the harbours or waters of the United States, immediately and without any delay to depart from the same, and interdicting the entrance of all the said harbours and waters to the said armed vessels, and to others bearing commissions under the authority of the British government.
And if the said vessels, or any of them, shall fail to depart as aforesaid, or if they or any others, so interdicted, shall hereafter enter the harbours or waters aforesaid, I do in that case forbid all intercourse with them or any of them, their officers or crews, and do prohibit all supplies and aid from being furnished to them or any of them.
And I do declare and make known, that if any person from, or within the jurisdictional limits of the United States shall afford any aid to any such vessel, contrary to the prohibition contained in this Proclamation, either in repairing any such vessel, or furnishing her, her officers or crew, with supplies of any kind, or in any manner whatsoever, or if any pilot shall assist in navigating any of the said armed vessels, unless it be for the purpose of carrying them in the first instance, beyond the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, or unless it be in the case of a vessel forced by distress, or charged with publick despatches as hereinafter provided for, such person or persons shall, on conviction suffer all the pains and penalties by the laws provided for such offences.
And I do hereby enjoin and require all persons bearing office civil or military within or under the authority of the United States, and all others, citizens or inhabitants thereof, or being within the same, with vigilance and promptitude to exert their respective authorities, and to be aiding and assisting to the carrying this Proclamation and every part thereof, into full effect.
Provided nevertheless, that if any such vessel shall be forced into the harbours or waters of the United States by distress, by the dangers of the sea, or by the pursuit of an enemy, or shall enter them charged with dispatches or business from their government, or shall be a publick packet for the conveyance of letters and despatches, the commanding officer immediately reporting his vessel to the collector of the district, stating the object or causes of entering the said harbours or waters, and conforming himself to the regulations in that case prescribed under the authority of the laws, shall be allowed the benefit of such regulations respecting repairs, supplies, stay, intercourse, and departure, as shall be permitted under the same authority.
In testimony whereof, I have caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same.
Given at the City Washington, the second day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven, and of the sovereignty and independence of the United States the thirty-first.

At a meeting of the citizens of Hampton and its vicinity, held at the Episcopal Church, the 28th day of June, 1807.
JAMES BAYTOP, Esq. being unanimously called to the chair, and
WM. BROUGH, appointed secretary to the meeting.
The meeting after due consideration, came to the following resolutions, in consequence of the unprecedented and inhuman outrage recently committed on the flag of the U. States, by the British squadron lying in the Chesapeake Bay, in the capture of one of our national ships, commanded by commodore James Barron, and the murder of several of our citizens on board thereof.
Resolved unanimously , That the resolutions entered into by the inhabitants of Norfolk and Portsmouth, and of Williamsburg, are highly approved of, and unanimously adopted, with the exception of the resolution which related to the conduct of the citizens of Hampton.
Resolved unanimously , That the committee of correspondence be requested to communicate with the governor and council of Virginia, and state our exposed situation, and that they be solicited to send without delay, such an additional supply of arms and ammunition, as the colonel of our regiment shall state to be wanting; and that it is expedient and hoped that every member of the community capable of bearing arms, shall as soon as the nature of the case will admit, be prepared with arms, and ready to obey the call of their injured country at a moment's warning; deeming all persons refusing or neglecting so to do, infamous, and unworthy the name of free Americans.
Resolved unanimously , that the citizens of Hampton and its vicinity, viewing with concern the serious effects which have resulted from various reports prejudicial to the honour of commodore James Barron, in the late event of the Chesapeake, feel it their duty, not only as citizens tenacious of the honour of the United States, but also as men who feel for the injured honour of any, and every citizen, to declare that we being near the scene of action, and having the best information relative to the transaction of that day, feel a confidence that commodore Barron, the first moment he suspected the hostile intentions of the Leopard, used every exertion in his power to support the honour and dignity of the flag of the United States; we therefore seriously hope that the public will not receive any impression unfavourable to commodore Barron, until the proper tribunal having cognizance of his conduct, shall announce their opinion thereon.
Resolved unanimously , that the following citizens be, and are hereby appointed a committee to carry the foregoing resolutions into effect, to wit, James Baytop, George Wray, Augustine Moore, sen. Charles Jennings, Robert Armistead, jun. William Armistead, sen. Miles Cary, Thomas Jones, jun. and Charles K. Mallory.
(Signed) James Baytop, Chairman. Teste, Wm. Brough, Sec'y.
At a numerous and respectable meeting of the people of Surry County, at the Court House on Monday the 29th June, 1807, convened for the purpose of taking into consideration the late treacherous and piratical conduct of the British ship of war Leopard.
Nicholas Faulcon, Esq. was appointed Chairman, and Dr. Charles H. Graves, Secretary. When the following resolutions were offered, and unanimously adopted.
Resolved , That it is with deep regret, the members of this meeting feel the apprehension, that the inhuman policy of our liberal and enlightened government, in hitherto forbearing to have recourse to the last bloody resort of nations, for the many insults which have been offered to the American flag by the cruisers of the king of England, has only increased the impudence of these domineering tyrants of the ocean.
Resolved , That the commander of the British King's ship of 50 guns, called the Leopard, by first attacking, and afterwards impressing four men from on board of the American frigate Chesapeake, of 36 guns, on the 22d inst. off the Capes of Virginia, has perpetrated an outrage upon the peace and honour of our country, which can excite but one feeling in every American breast. The firm determination to hazard every thing in obtaining retribution for the odious insult.
Resolved , That the conduct of the said commander, in firing several broad sides into the American frigate, killing and wounding many of our citizens, and finally discharging her from proceeding to her destination, because she refused to submit to the degradation of a search for men from the British ship; and this too, at a time of peace between our respective nations, and when of course the American ship not having the most distant expectation of hostility, was totally unprepared for defence, is not only unparalleled in the annals of maritime despotism, but is murderous treachery, and pyritical assassination.
Resolved , That this meeting does not entertain the injudicious suspicion, that the conduct of this lawless savage, who by some unaccountable oversight, has been enabled to foist himself into the service of a civilized nation, will be tolerated, much less countenanced by his government.
Resolved , That should the demand, which doubtless will be made upon Britain for the most prompt and ample compensation prove ineffectual, we will cheerfully support with our lives and properties, the measures which our government in its wisdom may adopt to extort the most adequate satisfaction for the barbarous outrage.
Resolved , That as it appears to be the determination of the British ships to supply themselves with water and provisions by force of arms, if not otherwise allowed, that we will so soon as such an attempt is made, defend any sea port towns or counties as far as lies in our power, on the first information of such attempt.
Resolved , That this meeting view with much pleasure, the spirited and energetic conduct of the citizens of Norfolk Borough, and Town of Portsmouth, and sincerely hope that they will succeed in preventing supplies of any and every description being furnished the British ships of war now about our coasts, or that may hereafter come within our waters, until ample compensation shall be obtained for their late villainous conduct.
Resolved , That we commend the highest manner the destruction of the water casks at Hampton, belonging to the British ships, and that the citizens of that place deserve our hearty thanks for their resentment and patriotism.
Resolved , That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and published in the Enquirer of Richmond, Norfolk Herald, and Petersburg Republican.
NICHOLAS FAULCON, Chairman. CHARLES H. GRAVES, Sec'y.
At a meeting of the citizens in Manchester, held at Z. Brooks' tavern, on Saturday the 27th June, 1807, a committee was appointed to draw up resolutions expressive of their sentiments, on the late unwarrantable attack of the Leopard on the American ship Chesapeake. The committee after a short retirement, reported the following resolutions, which were received with the unanimous approbation of the meeting, and ordered to be published.
1st. Resolved , That we view with extreme indignation the outrage lately committed by the Leopard, a British ship of war, on our national frigate the Chesapeake. In this infamous transaction, with a complete dereliction of every fair, manly and humane principle, we mark a most daring attempt to trample under foot the sovereignty of our country.
2d. Resolved , that we are ready with our lives and fortunes, to support the administration of the United States, in whatever measures they may deem necessary and proper, for redressing, repelling, and hereafter preventing such insults and injuries, and that we are willing to submit to every hardship and inconvenience, which may result from a suspension of commercial intercourse with the British nation, till their government shall give unequivocal testimony of a determination to respect our sovereignty, and the freedom of the ocean.
3d. Resolved , That the conduct of the citizens of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Hampton, on this important and affecting occasion, merits and receives our highest approbation.
Washington Watts, Chairman. William B. Clarke, Secretary.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2. We experienced great satisfaction in attesting to the order, dignity, and manliness of the proceedings of yesterday's town-meeting. The concourse of citizens was unexampled in this city. A respectful attention to the proceedings of the chair, was every where observed. Richard Rush, Esq. and Walter Franklin, Esq. each addressed the assemblies in a feeling and animated manner; which was succeeded by enthusiastic bursts of applause. The meeting then dispersed in the most orderly manner. The remainder of the evening was marked by the same laudable spirit of patriotism and order. It is indeed by such a demeanor, that the national sentiment will be made to flow harmoniously in one channel.
Meeting of the Citizens of the First Congressional District of Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday afternoon, July 1st the citizens of the first congressional district of Pennsylvania, composed of the city and county of Philadelphia, and county of Delaware, met, pursuant to notice, in the state house yard in the city of Philadelphia—No time or occasion has ever here witnessed such a concourse of people.
Mathew Lawler, Esq. was called to the chair, and Joseph Hopkinson, Esq. appointed secretary.
Dr. Michael Leib opened the business of the meeting, and after some appropriate observations offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted.
Resolved , That the conduct of Great Britain, towards the United States, has been too often marked by hostility, injustice and oppression; and that the outrage committed by the Leopard, one of her ships of war, under the express orders of one of her admirals, upon the Chesapeake, a frigate belonging to the United States, is an act of such consummate violence and wrong, and of so barbarous and murderous a character that it would debase and degrade any nation and much more so a nation of freemen to submit to it.
Resolved , That we will support the administration of the general government in all and every measure which may be adopted by them, to avenge the wrongs our country has suffered from Great Britain, and to compel the most rigid retribution; and that to attain a full measure of justice from her, we pledge ourselves to make any sacrifices and to encounter any hazards.
Resolved , That the sentiments of this meeting be made known to the president of the U. States, as the spontaneous effusions of freemen, on an occasion, when silence and indifference would betray a want of patriotism, if not a treasonable disposition towards the best interests of our country, and the sacred rights of this nation.
The following resolution was then offered and adopted unanimously.
Resolved , That until the general government shall have adopted such measures as may be suggested by their spirit and wisdom, we will discountenance all intercourse with any of the vessels of war, belonging to Great Britain; and that we will withhold from them all supplies or assistance which may be necessary to their aid and subsistence.
Charles Biddle, Esq. then proposed the following resolution, which was adopted unanimously.
Resolved unanimously , That the citizens of Norfolk and Hampton, and its vicinity, deserve the thanks and applause of their fellow citizens throughout the union for their gallant, manly and patriotic conduct at the present momentous crisis.
The meeting then agreed to appoint a committee of correspondence, for the purpose of holding a communication with our fellow-citizens in other parts of the United States, relative to the objects of this meeting. The following gentlemen were appointed:
Mathew Lawler, Charles Biddle, Paul Cox, David Lenox, Thomas Forrest, Richard Dale, Walter Franklin, George Clymer, M. Leib, Thos. Leiper, Francis Gurney, James Engle, Joseph Hopkinson, George Bartram, Edward Tilghman, William Linnard, Michael Bright.
A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and secretary—and the meeting adjourned in perfect order.
Ordered, that the proceedings of this meeting be published in all the papers of this city.
Mathew Lawler, Chairman. Joseph Hopkinson, Sec'y.
From Jackson's Register. There are periods in the history of every nation, when, the love of peace, however prevalent, and however cherished, must yield to the imperious dictate of national honour, and the unavoidable necessity of resenting national wrongs. In such exigency, it becomes not only the interest but the duty of every citizen to merge all differences of domestick politics in the foreign aggression, and to offer up all party opinions, as a patriotic sacrifice, on the altar of his offended country.
Such an occasion has arisen to the people of the United States—and such an occasion allows no alternative between the dangerous and disgraceful dereliction, or the immediate and decisive vindication of our dearest rights.
The atrocious proceeding detailed in the following article, which we copy from the National Intelligencer, of the 26th instant, and which we deem an official relation of facts, admits but of one atonement—for the reparation must be commensurate with the enormity of the offence.
It is not for individuals to prescribe the course of the government—but it is the unalienable right of every citizen, to assert his share of the public indignation and resentment—and we do not hesitate to say, that this outrage and indignity, committed by the express order of a British commander in chief, are without precedent or parallel in the history of the civilized world, connecting as they do the basest murder of innocent and unsuspecting individuals, with the most flagitious abuse of every principle that should govern the conduct of one nation professing friendship, and receiving hospitality from another.
For such conduct there can be but one species of atonement—An express disavowal of the act by the government of Great Britain, and an unqualified surrender of the officer or officers, by whose orders it was perpetrated, to the justice of the United States—In the refusal of such reparation, open war cannot be more calamitous than the continuance of such outrage and degradation—And war, thus inevitably imposed, must receive the full support of every American, who justly estimates his personal privileges, or duly respects the rights and independence of his country.
PROVIDENCE, (R. I.) June 27. The ship Hazard, Elderkin, arrived on Thursday in 36 days from Amsterdam. Whispers were in circulation at Amsterdam, when she sailed, that 2 battles had recently been fought between the combined Russian and Prussian army, and the French, one of them on the 8th of May) in both of which the French had been defeated with great slaughter; and that Bonaparte was retracing his steps towards the Rhine. The wise and cautious Dutchmen exhibit very shrewd and significant countenances: but for obvious reasons, they are generally as silent on political affairs, as if their lips were hermetically sealed.
NEW-YORK, June 30. Extract of a letter from Providence. (R. I.) dated June 26th, 1807, to a mercantile house of the first respectability in this city.
"The ship Hazard, capt. Elderkin, has arrived in the river from Amsterdam in a short passage—she left the Texel on the 18th May, at which time it was reported that there had been two general battles fought between the two grand armies—the first on the last of April, and the second on the 8th May. The Russians were said to have gained a complete victory.
"Our letters state that the markets are extremely depressed in Holland."
RICHMOND, July 4. Important Victory gained by General Wilkinson and his friends.
The Enquirer of Wednesday last, contains a communication denying the truth of the assertion made in the Virginia Gazette, of the grand jury being equally divided on a motion for presenting general Wilkinson for treason, and accusing Mr. Beverly, a respectable jurymen, as being the informant to the Virginia Gazette.
The paragraph published in the Virginia Gazette was not on the authority of Mr. Beverly, but on the authority of two respectable citizens of Richmond, who interrogated one of the grand-jurymen (not Mr. Beverly) on the subject, and who are ready to declare that such was the information they received from the jurymen.
We do affirm that several of the jurymen have made similar declarations, and we have no hesitation in giving credit, that such a motion was made, and that the result was as we have stated, with the single exception that in place of the jury being equally divided, nine were for the presentment and seven opposed to it.
The Federal Circuit Court have adjourned until the first Monday in August next.
From a late London Paper. MEETING AT FREE-MASON'S HALL.
On Tuesday the 14th inst. a very numerous and highly respectable meeting of noblemen and gentlemen was held at this place, for the purpose of concerting means for improving the opportunity presented by the abolition of the slave trade, for promoting innocent commerce and civilization in Africa. The very late hour to which the debate in the house of Lords, of the preceding evening had been protracted, and an election at the Charter House, deprived the meeting of several noblemen, who would otherwise have been present. Yet we distinguished in the room. Besides his royal highness the duke of Gloucester, who presided, the following noblemen and gentlemen:—
Earl Euston, earl Spencer; bishop of London, bishop of Durham, bishop of Bath, and Wells, bishop of Saint David's; lord Valentia, lord Teignmouth, lord Headly; the chancellor of the exchequer; right honourable J. C. Villars; Sir John Newport M. P.; Sir V. Gibbs M. P.; Sir P. Francis K. B.; Lieutenant-General Vyse M. P.; Colonel Barry; Dean of Carlisle; Rev. Dr. Jowett, Rev. Dr. Macleod; Samuel Whitebread, Esq. M. P.; Thomas Bernard, Esq.; H. Banks, Esq. M. P.; Grenville Sharp, Esq. William Sharp, Esq. William Smith, Esq. Charles Grant, Esq. M. P.; William Wilberforce, Esq. M. P.; Robert Thornton, Esq. M. P.; Henry Thornton, Esq. M. P.; Thomas Babbington, Esq. M. P.; William Roscoe, Esq. M. P.; Thomas Clarkson, Esq. John Thornton, Esq. Stephen Lushington, Esq. M. P.; Pascoe Grensell, Esq. M. P.; Robert Barclay, Esq.; C. W. Wynn, Esq. M. P.; W. M. Pitt, Esq. M. P.
John Simeon, Esq. M. P.; I. H. Browne, Esq. M. P.; John Maitland, Esq. M. P.; John Huddleston, Esq.; C. Grant, Esq. jun.; J. Wharton, Esq. M. P.; J. Campbell, Esq.; W. H. Froude, Esq.
His royal highness opened the business of the meeting in an elegant and appropriate speech, wherein after congratulating the meeting on that glorious and happy event, the abolition of the slave trade, and advertising in terms of warm eulogy to the merits of Mr. Wilberforce, he pointed out the advantageous opportunity which that event would soon offer for the introduction of commerce of a beneficial kind; of agriculture, and the other arts of social life, into that immense and hitherto unfortunate continent. He considered the attempt so to repair the injuries which Africa had sustained by its intercourse with Europe, as a natural and necessary prosecution of the same just and humane principles which had led to the abolition of the slave trade, and as an effort worthy the exertions of a great and generous people. He also adverted to the advantages which would be likely to arise to the commerce and manufactures of this country, from such liberal endeavours, if successful.
His royal highness having received from Mr. Wilberforce a series of resolutions, explaining the objects of the meeting, and establishing a society for the purpose of carrying those objects into effect, concluded, by submitting those resolutions to the consideration of the noblemen and gentlemen present.
Earl Spencer, in a neat and concise speech, signified his cordial concurrence in the resolutions which had been proposed, and in the general objects of the meeting. His lordship expressed his great satisfaction at seeing so large and highly respectable an assembly convened for so noble a purpose, and was peculiarly glad to hear of that opportunity of professing publicly his approbation of their beneficent design, and his joy at the abolition of the slave trade, as he had been prevented by a long and severe indisposition from contributing his aid in parliament to the success of the bill which had lately passed into a law; a measure of which his lordship spoke in glowing terms, as honourable in the highest degree to the national character.
Mr. Wilberforce very briefly explained the general objects of the proposed institution, on the value and importance of which it was needless for him to expatiate, as they were sufficiently understood and felt by every gentleman who heard him. The detail of practical measures which it might be proper to pursue, in order to excite and assist the spirit of commercial, agricultural, and other improvements in different parts of Africa, must obviously be fitter to be discussed and settled in a committee, which one of the resolutions went to constitute, than at so large a general meeting; but he trusted it would be found very practicable to give, by making or encouraging attempts at improvement, on a small scale, upon different parts of the coast, examples of successful industry and moral and intellectual improvement, which might soon be widely imitated and extended, to the unspeakable future happiness of Africa, and the great benefit of our own manufacturing and commercial interests. When, by the private endeavours of the society, conducted as they ought to be, with the utmost caution and prudence, some happy beginnings were effected, it might be reasonably hoped, that assistance would be given by government and the parliament, towards extending, upon a large scale, the same beneficent system.
The Resolutions were then put, and unanimously carried; after which, the several Resolutions of thanks to Messrs. Wilberforce, Grenville Sharpe and Clarkson, were moved by different gentlemen, and also unanimously agreed to with great and general applause.
On the last Resolution for thanking the Duke of Gloucester, which was moved by Mr. Wilberforce, loud and long continued applause manifested the strong sense which the company entertained of his Royal Highness's zealous support of the cause of Africa, in Parliament, and of the honour he did the Institution, in consenting to accept the office of Patron. His Royal Highness, in a feeling and graceful manner, expressed his sense of the honour done to him by the approbation of so respectable an assembly; and declared, that it should be his constant endeavour to promote, to the utmost of his power, the noble and interesting objects of the Institution.
The Meeting adjourned to wait the report of the Committee.

Complaints having been frequently made by persons who procure Bark, and are too careless to preserve it, that oppressive 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.

SLOOP EXPERIMENT, FOR PASSENGERS ONLY. ELIHU S. BUNKER, Begs leave to inform his friends and the public, 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 inconvenience 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 remedy that inconvenience and entirely do away the risk. The owners of this vessel being desirous to render the passage as short, convenient, and agreeable as possible, have not only taken care to furnish her with the best Beds, Bedding, Liquors, Provisions, &c. but they have been at very great expense and trouble in procuring material and building her on the best construction for sailing, and for the accommodation 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. Captain Bunker having been several years engaged in the righting business between New-York and Hudson, has become 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 northern 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 Lebanon Springs, which are about 50 miles distance. Hudson, May 1807. 12 1/2w

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, attest 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 most 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; it has been considered as deserving, in point of execution, a place by the side of Robertson's Charles the Fifth, and as unrivalled in the authenticity of its materials, by any work in the entire compass of history and biography.
