ADDRESS.
SHELL CASTLE, DIST. OF OTRACOKE,
North Carolina, July 18, 1807.
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES:
SIR,
As Chairman of a meeting of a very respectable number of inhabitants of this part of the sea frontier of North Carolina, who possessing the two shores of an inlet, through which the larger portion of the agricultural wealth of the state flows, and through which nine-tenths of our fellow citizen seamen are engaged in honest and industrious, and consequently in honorable pursuits;—
I am instructed to transmit you the resolutions entered into by them, which I have the honor to comply with; and with the concurrence of the respectable committee, in pursuance of the 4th resolution, have also the honor to communicate their sentiments, and their unalterable determination to risk all that is dear to free men in support of them. We forbear any investigation of the question of the avowed cause of the recent outrage committed on the U. S. frigate Chesapeake; for we deem questions of the kind as solely belonging to the governments who commit or suffer them; questions to be settled by the established principles of the law of nations, or of declared, open and avowed hostility. We also, from motives which should govern every just mind, forbear to ask why our national flag when insulted, did not resist, as we are certain an investigation will take place before an honorable tribunal of brave and wise men; we will, therefore, neither anticipate nor attempt to precipitate their solemn decree.
But, sir, we have no feelings to induce us to withhold our sentiments on the insults and injuries—violations of every principle which unite friendly nations together—robbery and degradation in every form, and every varied way, which have marked the conduct of that haughty, imperious and tyrannic government of England towards us. Cultivating the arts of peace, we have borne (from a just sentiment of our own inferiority in point of naval power) with the unnumbered insults, the infamous piracies and the sanguinary searches committed on our commerce: But now that she has attacked our national flag in our own territory; now that she has endeavored to place us on a level with the most abject and degraded nations, through the medium of her boasted naval superiority, we re-hurl the bolts, not of infamy which she has sent among us, but of proud defiance and just indignation.
We believe that peace with the world is the sound policy of our government. We know that even a successful war, is a scourge to the victor.
We admit that the forces of England may burn some of our cities and sea port towns.
May capture our floating commerce, and many of our brave seamen; she gave proofs of one when she lost the empire of America; yet even then, all our seamen she had captured, were redeemed by the bravery of their fellow citizens; except indeed, those only who perished in compulsory fight against her foes.
The seamen she may capture will soon be restored, and thousands of hers, having an opportunity of becoming converts to Liberty!—
Our cities and towns will rise out of their ashes! But much as we deprecate war, we hold it far preferable to national degradation—now indeed at its limits.
These, sir, are some of England's haughty advantages, but we have some in perspective likewise:
She has Canada—let her look to that!
She has Nova Scotia and a court of adjudication there; some of its records are important to us!
She has half the East and almost all the West Indies.
We can have a navy—we shall have cruisers.
She has a debt.
She has a people oppressed with it. She has half a million of artists whose existence depends on a friendly intercourse with us.
Her commerce can be numbed—her colonies will revolt—her artists will revolt.
We may ask, has the spirit of Bute or North revisited that devoted monarchy! Or which is the same thing, has some demon of destruction darted into her councils:—Be it either, her evil genius has cut the cord of friendship between the two governments for ever, never can we consider her, but with abhorrence, although we may esteem the people.
We have only to add, sir, that we solemnly aver by all that is dear to free men, that our lives and fortunes are pledged to support such measures as the government of our choice may adopt, in the present crisis; to punish the recent outrages; or to repel this open act of war. A government where religious liberty unincumbered by toleration, seeks its Creator either in the temple or the field; the secluded chamber or the crowded dome; where civil liberty has its boundaries only by the laws it creates, and where political liberty has alone existence. Who then among us, who will not rally round the Standard? Who will not cheerfully offer the last drop of his blood, for its support? We declare that we will; when called upon by the legitimate authority of our country.
On behalf of the meeting and with the concurrence of the committee appointed by them.
I have the honor to be, sir,
Your most obedient servant,
JOHN WALLACE,
Chairman.
ALEX. HENDERSON,
Secretary.
Latest Proceedings in the Trial of Colonel A. BURR.
TUESDAY, August 18.
Col. Edward Carrington, foreman of the jury, presented a written statement from them; in which they mentioned certain points relative to their own accommodation. They wished to be permitted to occupy in the evening, 2 rooms in the capitol, to go together to the Swan Tavern to dine, attended by an officer of the court, to receive letters, and transact indispensable business. The court decided that they might enjoy the indulgencies they requested; (it being understood that if they received any letters containing matters relative to the trial, they were to communicate them to the court;) and moreover authorised them to walk out together in separate parties, provided an officer should be with them.
After gen. Eaton was examined, comodore Truxton was sworn and examined; Peter Taylor (Blannerhasset's gardener) was next examined to prove a

connection between col. Burr and Blannerhasset, and explain and prove the designs of them both, & the assemblage of men on Blannerhasset's island.
WEDNESDAY, August 19.
General John Morgan of the county of Washington, in the state of Pennsylvania, his venerable father col. George Morgan and Mr. Thomas Morgan his brother, were examined, for the purpose of proving circumstances relative to the treasonable intentions of which Aaron Burr is accused.
The next witness introduced was Jacob Albright, whose place of residence is in the state of Ohio, about one mile from Blannerhasset's. His evidence was long, and detailed a variety of circumstances concerning the assemblage of men on the island, and their departure down the river. On the same subject William Love (who had acted as a servant of Blannerhasset) was also examined. He was followed by Mr. Dudley Woodbridge, who had been Blannerhasset's partner in trade, and had kept a store on their joint account at Marietta. His testimony related partly to the same point; and was also intended to show the connexion between Burr and Blannerhasset, the purchase of boats for the expedition, and some other circumstances. The court adjourned at four o'clock in the evening.
THURSDAY, August 20.
Simeon Poole, Maurice B. Belnap, and Edmund B. Dana, all of whom reside in the state of Ohio, in the neighborhood of Blannerhasset's island, were examined as to the assemblage of men at that place.
From all the evidence hitherto introduced it having appeared that col. Burr was not in the island at the time when the overt act of treason was charged to have been there committed; and it being acknowledged on the part of the U. S. that he was not present; col. Burr and his counsel objected to the admissibility of any further evidence; on the ground that the proof of any connexion between him and the men assembled on the island, or of his contriving or procuring them to assemble, would not be sufficient (even on a supposition that they were guilty of treason) to convict him of an overt act of treason in levying war against the U. S.
This objection gave rise to a most important debate, on the event of which the ultimate fate of the trial in a great degree depends.
It was opened by Mr. Wickham in a learned, ingenious and elaborate speech, which lasted fully five hours, and consumed the rest of the time allowed to the session of the court.
FRIDAY, August 21.
Mr. Wickham continued his argument, which was not finished yesterday, and concluded about twelve o'clock; the session of the court having commenced at ten.
The points of law contended for by him, in the course of his long and interesting discourse were, generally, that treason in levying war against the United States cannot be committed without the employment of actual force; that, under the definition of treason in the constitution of the United States, accessories (who would be so denominated in cases of felony) are not to be considered as principals in cases of treason; that no person can be charged with treason in levying war against the United States, upon the ground of his counselling or procuring the overt act of treason, being accessory thereto, either before, or after the fact; and that a person accused of accessory or derivative treason cannot be tried and convicted without producing a record of the conviction of the principal agent in the overt act.
He also entered into an examination of the evidence, so far as it had been introduced; and endeavored to show that no act of levying war against the United States was proved to have been committed at Blannerhasset's island.
The counsel for the United States objected to his arguing on this part of the enquiry, since the jury alone, and not the court, were to judge of the weight of the evidence; but the court declared that, whether the argument was correct or incorrect, they were compelled by their duty to hear it.
After Mr. Wickham had finished, two witnesses were introduced on the part of the United States, (Israel Miller and Purley Howe) for the purpose of completing the evidence relative to the assemblage of men on Blannerhasset's island.
Mr. Randolph then continued the debate on the part of Col. Burr, until nearly 3 o'clock.
Mr. Hay then moved the court to al-
low the counsel for the United States, time until Monday next, to enable them to make the necessary preparations to answer the great variety of arguments which had been adduced.
On this motion a desultory conversation took place, in which a number of curious and some ludicrous remarks were made—The court at length decided in favor of the motion. The argument, therefore, will be resumed on Monday. The court is to sit again on Saturday at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of arraigning Mr. Blannerhasset.
Latest from France.
Defeat of the Russians and capture of Konigsberg
The ship Arab, West, arrived at Boston on Tuesday last from Nantz, brings the 78th bulletin of the grand army, and a Nantz paper of June 30.
The Editor of the Boston Centinel says, "The bulletin being very long, we have given a faithful abstract of it."
"The campaign opened the 5th June, and was continued by scenes of hard fighting until the 14th, when the French gained a decided victory at Friedland, about 30 miles S. of Konigsberg. The Russians lost from 25 to 30,000 men, 30 generals, and 80 pieces of cannon, and were said to be overwhelmed and scattered; while the French were in full march for Konigsberg, at which place the last accounts stated them to have arrived."
"There were rumors of an expected peace, at the last dates."
"In the French army, there are troops of not less than ten or twelve different nations, who do not understand each other's language; but Bonaparte contrives to make them all understand him."
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
From French papers, received at Boston from Nantz.
FRENCH GRAND ARMY BULLETIN No. 78.
Dated, Heilsberg, June 13, 1807.
This Bulletin gives an account of the overtures of peace, made during the winter; and of their being interrupted by the attack of the Russians.
Action of Spanden
June 5th, the Russian army put several of its divisions in motion. The right attacked the bridge-head of Spanden, which gen. Frere defended with the 27th regiment. Twelve Russian regiments made vain efforts; they renewed them seventimes, and seventimes were repulsed. In the mean time the prince of Ponte-Corvo (Bernadotte) had assembled his troops, but before they could act, a charge of the 17th dragons forced the enemy to retreat. Thus during a whole day, two divisions made repeated unsuccessful attacks on one regiment; but it must be owned this regiment was entrenched. In visiting the entrenchments between one of the attacks marshal Bernadotte was slightly wounded, which rendered him unable to resume his command for a fortnight. Our loss is trifling. The enemy's 1200, and many wounded.
Battle of Lomilsen.
Two Russian divisions from the centre also attacked the bridge-head of Lomilsen. Gen. Tarry's brigade defended it. Two regiments repulsed the enemy the whole day. The abbatis and works were covered with dead Russians. Their gen. was killed; and their loss 1100 killed, 100 prisoners, and great numbers wounded. We lost 120 men killed and wounded.
Mean while the Russian commander in chief (Bennigsen) with the imperial guards, and three divisions, attacked marshal Ney's position at Allkirken, Gutstadt and Wolsdorf; and were repulsed in all quarters; but when marshal Ney discovered that his assailants exceeded 40,000 men, he obeyed his instructions, and led his corps to Acken-dorf.
Battle of Depen.
June 6th, the enemy attacked the 6th corps at Depen, on the Passarge. They were overturned. The manoeuvres, talents and intrepidity of marshal Ney, general Marchand and other officers, are worthy of the greatest eulogium. The enemy confess the loss of two thousand killed and 3000 wounded. We had 160 killed two hundred wounded, and two
hundred and seventy prisoners made by the Gossaks, who had posted themselves in the rear of the army.
The Affair of the 8th.
On the 8th the emperor arrived at Depen, and gave the necessary orders. The 4th corps moved to Walsdorf, where it met a Russian division about to join the main army, attacked it, disabled five hundred men, took one hundred and fifty, and in the evening took post at Allkirken.
At this moment the emperor advanced on Gustadt, with Ney's and Lannes' corps, his guards, and the reserve of cavalry. Ten thousand cavalry and fifteen thousand infantry of the enemy's rear guard took possession of Glotnu and attempted to dispute the passage. Marshal Murat after some skilful manoeuvres drove them from their positions, and the light cavalry and heavy dragoons triumphed over all the efforts of the enemy, and in the evening we entered Gustadt by force. One thousand prisoners, the possession of the positions before Gustadt, and the routing of the infantry, were consequences of the day. The Russian horse guards were peculiarly severely handled.
Affair of the 10th
June 10th, the army advanced towards Heilsberg, and carried several camps. The enemy's rear guard, of from fifteen to twenty thousand cavalry, and several lines of infantry was formed at a mile's distance. The Spanish corasseurs and other corps charged them and gained ground. Two divisions of marshal Soult's corps marched on the right whilst Legrand's division marched on the left. The whole Russian army was at Heilsberg—they reinforced their advanced columns. More than 60 field pieces poured death whilst they were supporting their columns, which our divisions drove back with the most undaunted courage and impetuosity. Several Russian divisions were routed, and at nine P. M. we were under the enemy's entrenchments. Several divisions performed prodigies. Verriere's division cut off the enemy's retreat by Landsburg; and several companies went so far as to insult the Russians in their intrenchments. Some brave men met death at the palisades.
The emperor passed the 11th on the field of battle, making arrangements for a decisive action. The whole Russian army was assembled, and Heilsberg was full of stores and rendered very strong. The emperor ordered Davoust to form on the Lower Alle, and cut off the road to Eylau, each corps had its assigned post, all were assembled, excepting the first which was on the lower Passarge. Thus the Russians who had recommended hostilities, found themselves blockaded. Battle was offered them: it was thought they would attack on the 11th, whilst the French army was forming; but instead of attacking, they began at night to cross the right bank of the Alle, and gave up the whole country on their left, leaving their wounded at the mercy of the victor, as well as their magazines and those entrenchments the fruit of so much arduous exertion.
On the 12th at day break, all the army was in motion. All the houses are filled with the Russian wounded. From the 5th to the 13th the enemy's army has been deprived of about 30,000 fighting men; they left in our hands from 3 to 4000 men; 7 or 8 pair of colors, and 9 pieces of artillery, and, according to the account of deserters, several important generals. Our loss is 600 or 700 killed, 2000 or 2500 wounded, and 300 prisoners. A Spanish general is wounded. General Roussel, of the Imperial guards had his head shot off; marshal Murat had two horses shot under him; one of his aids (Segur) lost an arm. Several other officers were wounded. We found in the magazines of Heilsberg several thousand quintals of flour, and large quantities of provisions of various kinds.
The emperor Alexander left his army some days before the campaign opened.
PARIS, June 25, 1807. GREAT BATTLE.
Yesterday his highness prince Borghese, arrived at the palace of St. Cloud, and brought from the Emperor, to the Empress and Queen the news of a victory which, on the 14th of this month, was gained at Friedland [about 30 miles S. of Konigsberg] by the Grand Army, commanded by the Emperor in person. The following particulars were given at head-quarters, and which we are authorised to repeat, while we are waiting for the official bulletin.
"The French army has worthily cele-
brated the 14th June, the anniversary of the battle of Marengo—The battle of Friedland will be celebrated in history. The Russian army, out-manoeuvred, its centre penetrated, cut off from its magazines, has been completely beaten. Eighty pieces of cannon taken, 25 to 30,000 Russians taken, killed, or drowned in the Alle, are the results of this memorable day. Thirty Russian generals have been killed, taken or severely wounded. The bodies of several generals were found dead on the field of battle, and it is worthy of remark, that among them were the bodies of generals Pahlen and Marcoff, two of the first instigators of the faction devoted to England. The regularity of our dispositions, the intrepidity of our troops, have greatly diminished the loss of the French army, which is not considerable.— Moniteur .
The Gazette de France, says, "In addition to the 78th Bulletin, we learn, that on the 13th June, the head-quarters of the grand army was at Prussian Eylau; that the army, in two columns, was marching on to Konigsburg, and that the advanced guards were at the gates of the city;—Thus the Russian army could not sustain an attack in any part; and that it was overwhelmed and dispersed in such a manner, as to render it impossible for them to reunite. According to other reports, the French were already in Konigsburg, where they entered pell-mell with the Russians.—But this last news wants confirmation.
The Courier de l'Europe, says, "We announce this day, (June 23) that Konigsburg is in the power of the French."
NEW-YORK, August 26.
By the ship Ann-Alexander, from London, we have completed our regular file of London papers to the 4th of July, inclusive and Lloyd's lists to the 3d.—Extracts from the latter will be found in our marine department. The former afford nothing new or interesting, if we except the following articles.
In the English house of Commons on Friday, July 3d Mr. Rose moved the order of the Day for the House going into a Committee on the American Trade Indemnity Bill. Some conversation took place between Mr. Eden, Mr. Rose, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Lord Howick, in which the Noble Lord suggested, that a provision should be introduced into the Bill, authorising his majesty in Council to suspend the American Trade Act, if the American Legislature should think fit to put in force the Non Importation Act.
GEORGETOWN, August 29.
On Sunday morning last, the ship Othello, owned by Messrs Harden & Wilson, of Baltimore, with dry goods, valued at two hundred thousand dollars, from Liverpool, anchored in the Patuxent.—Sometime after she was taken by a small schooner having French colors, but which we believe to be a pirate, under the pretext of being from an English port, and laden with English goods.—Immediately on the intelligence reaching Baltimore, two fast sailing vessels manned with volunteers, were dispatched in pursuit of the pirate. On Thursday night two other vessels, also manned with volunteers went in pursuit of her. The Othello, we hear, returned yesterday morning to Baltimore, the captors having been obliged to abandon her for want of wind; but swore they would have a prize before they left the bay.—The pursuing vessels are still out, and hopes are entertained that they will find the pirate.
The schooner, previous to taking the Othello, was seen alongside the French frigate Patriot, and the Captain of the former said he had been furnished with fifteen men by the latter, and was offered 100.—We cannot credit this.
We are informed that Gen. Turreau, the French minister near the U. States, who is now in this city, on hearing the report that the pirate that seized on the Othello had been countenanced and assisted by the commander of the Patriot, immediately sent down a commission to enquire into the business, with the express declaration that if they had in any way connived at or aided in the attack on the Othello, the guilty should be immediately delivered up to the government of the U. States, to be proceeded against agreeably to the laws of this country.—Capt. Comegy, we understand, has gone down with these instructions.
[Balt. American.]
Two or three more detachments of volunteers sailed last night on board an armed schr. in pursuit of the buccaneers who attempted to carry off the Othello.—They are commanded by the two cap-

caine Sterret. It is supposed the pirate is lurking in some of the rivers on our bay. If she is taken in with, there can be no doubt of her being brought safe into harbour. The public will be pleased to learn that Captain David Porter, an officer of experience and skill, lately returned from the Mediterranean, has gone down with the detachments. [Ibid.]
MARTINSBURG, September 4.
Owing to the indisposition of the Editor, and one of the hands employed in this office, we were unable to issue the Intelligencer last week.
Extract from a circular, directed to the commanders in the Navy of the United States, from the Navy Department, signed Benjamin Stoddart, and dated December 29, 1806.
"It is the positive command of the president, that on no pretence whatever, you permit the public vessel of war under your command to be detained or searched, nor any of the officers or men belonging to her to be taken from her, by the ships or vessels of any other nation, so long as you are in a capacity to repel such outrage on the honor of the American flag.
"If force should be exerted to compel your submission, you are to resist that force to the utmost of your power, and when overpowered by superior force you are to strike your flag, and thus yield your vessel as well as your men—but never your men without your vessel."
GENERAL ORDERS.
Richmond, August 18, 1807.
Since the general orders of the 17th July, the President of the United States has urged on the Governor of this state, the importance of encouraging, by all the means he may possess, such Volunteer associations as are contemplated and authorized by the act of Congress, passed the 24th day of February last, and when organized, to be received as part of the quota of Militia recently required to be held in readiness at the shortest notice.
The Governor deems it unnecessary to make any observations on the importance of placing ourselves in a state of the most perfect preparation for every event. All parts of the state have manifested so deep a sense of the injuries and insults offered to us, so firm a determination to have our wrongs redressed or avenged, and so ardent a desire to second, by every effort, whatever measures may be adopted by our government, that it only remains for the constituted authorities to prescribe the course in which the exertions of our fellow citizens can be most useful to our common country. Standing armies are incompatible with the genius of our government and the spirit of our people. But a body of men formed on the principles and on the terms of the act of Congress above referred to, will afford us, at the commencement of a war, should the injustice or infatuation of the British government lead to that issue, all the advantages, without any of the evils of a standing army; and the period of their service, being for twelve months, will give ample time to raise and organize a regular force for taking the field in place of such of them as may not be inclined to become a part of the regular army. The Volunteer Corps will consist of such companies, battalions, regiments, brigades or divisions, already organized and forming a part of the militia, as shall voluntarily tender their services; or of such associations of individuals, from any or every part of the state as may be formed for the sole purpose of rendering their services to the President. Corps of the above description will continue to be commanded by the officers holding commissions in them at the time of tendering their services. But it is deemed essential to the formation of Volunteer associations of the second class, that their first officers should be of their own choice. Let not the present officers of the militia suppose for a moment, that by this principle it is intended to detract from their merit, or deprive them of the opportunity of serving their country in their present or even higher stations. They have a double advantage; they may either, by their influence, prevail on their present corps to tender their services, in which case they will still continue at their head, or falling in that, they have the best opportunities of forming associations consisting of all such persons as may be attracted by their great respectability and superior knowledge of military affairs—Of associations, which they may thus form, they will certainly
have the command—Their merit is well known to the Governor, and their just rights and privileges will be most carefully guarded.
In these associations, so anxiously desired by the President and so useful to our country, the Governor is so far from perceiving any thing to wound the honor of the present officers of the militia, that he calls upon them all, of every grade, for their zealous co-operation in encouraging them by all the means in their power—The call is addressed to their patriotism, and he is confident that it will not be made in vain—As to those corps not already organized, and to which it will therefore be necessary to appoint officers, the Executive of Virginia will commission officers on the principles above mentioned; and as it may be one of the best means of encouraging them, they will even grant commissions, previous to the formation of the associations, to persons approved by them, and who may give satisfactory assurances of their ability to form them—The Governor has the pleasure to state from the assurances of the Secretary at War, that the members of all Volunteer Corps, under the act of Congress referred to, will stand on high ground as candidates for officers in the regular army, if such an army shall be deemed necessary.
It is not intended to exclude such Volunteers as may tender their services for six months, under the act of Congress of the 18th of April, 1806, but only to give a preference to those who may tender themselves for twelve months under the act of the 24th February last; and if there shall be any who will not only tender themselves for twelve months, but will also engage to be transferred to the regular army, in case one should be established, for and during the War, they will be preferred to all others—The tenders of service should in all cases designate the act of Congress under which they are made—In the event of more Volunteers tendering themselves, under either or both acts of Congress, than shall amount to the proportion required from any particular division, the Major Generals will not reject them, but will report the cases specially.
Where the drafts shall not already have been made, they should be completed as soon as practicable, for Volunteers who may tender themselves at any time before orders for taking the field, will be accepted as substitutes for the drafted militia.
The Major Generals will be pleased to report, from time to time, the number of Volunteers they may receive under either act of Congress.

BRIGADE ORDERS.
IN obedience to the orders of Major General Preston, of the third Division of Virginia Militia, and in conformity to the general orders of the Governor of the state, the 16th Brigade will furnish 714 men, including officers, armed and equipped according to law, to answer in part the call of the President of the United States for 100,000 militia. The cause which gives rise to this demand so seriously affects the interests of the United States, their sovereignty and blood-stained independence, that the General admits not of a doubt, but the requisition of Government being known, a zealous emulation will pervade the entire line of the Brigade, and the only individual contest will be, who shall have the honour to avenge his country's wrongs. Time has lodged most of the heroes of the revolution in the "narrow house," and age has left but few of those remaining equal to the rugged toils of war.—Rouse then, my younger countrymen, rouse to arms—maintain the character which the Regiments which compose the 16th Brigade established during the revolutionary contest—wait not for allotment, but volunteer your services—prepare for battle—prepare to meet the British barbarians and bid them defiance.—Let the spirits of your departed fathers behold an emulous imitation of their patriotic exertions exhibited in the conduct of their sons, and their blood and treasure not spent in vain.—Discover to the world what freedom can effect, and shew the tyrants of the ocean what United America can perform.
The commanding officers of the different Regiments will afford the fairest opportunity to their respective corps, to express their wishes & their sentiments; and the mode of doing this is left with them. Two acts of Congress accompany these orders, as sources of information to the commandants of Regiments.
So soon as the several quotas are completed, master-rolls will be returned to Major Davidson, the Brigadier Inspector, distinguishing volunteers from drafted men, if, unexpectedly, any of the latter should be necessary. All offers beyond the desired number will be reported; as every effort will be made to gratify the wishes of the excess of volunteers.
The detail which composes a part of these orders declares the quota demanded of each Regiment. The commandants will comply with the requisitions as speedily as the nature of the call will admit of, and the men be ready at a moment's warning. The General omits to order one Lieutenant Colonel and one Major from the Brigade, as essential to the detachment; as by so doing he would deprive the officers of those grades from volunteering their services—Should the offers exceed the call, a fair mode shall be adopted to select those officers and a special order announce the appointment—And the General expects to hear from the Field Officers on the return of their quotas.
JOHN SMITH, Brigadier-General, 16th Brigade.
Frederick county, August 16, 1807.
THE Officers of the 16th Brigade are called upon to attend their annual duty, in receiving the instructions of the Brigade Inspector, on the days and at the places herein named. However important the knowledge of Military tactics are at all times to an Officer, yet more than ordinary calls now demand the exertion of every man to seek a perfection in the art.
The General hopes a willingness on the part of the Officers, will be testified by their punctual attendance at the different places of rendezvous, and that their equipments will exhibit a promptness to attend a Military call.
The Officers of the 55th Regiment will attend the Brigade Inspector in Charles-Town, in the County of Jefferson, on the 7th, 8th and 9th days of October next. The Regimental Muster is ordered on the 10th of October, at the same place.
The Officers of the 67th Regiment will attend the Inspector at Martinsburg, in the County of Berkeley, on the 14th, 15th and 16th days of October, and the 17th is ordered for the Regimental Muster at the same place.
The Officers of the 31st and 51st Regiments, will attend at Stephensburg, in the County of Frederick, on the 19th, 20th and 21st of October. The Regimental Muster of the 31st will be on the 22nd of the same month and at the same place, and that of the 51st on the 23rd of October, at Winchester.
The General reminds the Commandants of Regiments, that the Officers of the Cavalry and Artillery, within their Regimental Districts, are to attend the Inspector.
