The patriotism and unanimity which have been
displayed at the different Town Meetings, called is
consequence of the cowardly and inhaman attack 4
the British Ship of War Leopard on the UMW
States' nig:ad Cieurprok, must be truly giaeful to
the feelings of every American. It will pore /0
our er.emies and to the word, that however we msy
be divided on local considerations, we w,ll, when
the moment of danger arrives, or when the honour
of the country is insulted, and its laws set at deli*
ante, cordially unite for the common defence. Wei
hope the spirit of the people will be communicated
to their Administration, and that they will adopt
measures at once vigorous, honourable, and ef•
fective.

adelphia was attended by 10,000 persons-40Bir
meetings were sussintmed at Charleston, and the

Resolutions passeJ at the meetings held, were very
violent. No Pilot was suffered to go on board the
English ships of war, all communication was stopped,
and no supplies whatever of water or provision were
granted ; in consequence of the latter order, the
English, it is said, had carried off SO head of cattle.
