MILITARY NE Iffs.

On Wednesday se'nnigh;the Durham Volunteers
were inspeded on Oilligate Moor, by Lieutenant.
Colonel Seddon. The movements were numerous.
and executed with so mush accuracy and poly&
tuck as to call forth the high approbation of the
Inspecting Field Officer. After the anspedion, the
regiment bung formed in a circle, Lieutenant-Co-
lo ol Seddon addressed them, expressing the deepest
regret at taking his leave of a corps to which he
is so n:ach attached, and which had called upon
him in so handsome a manner to command them.
di- 'ben informed them that be had received an
o r im t'os War Office, that it was incom-
patible wit' tr.. • esent regu AtIODS fur him to bold
the rank of thor Commandoo and the situation of
Inspeiiog Fi. hi Officer. To this Colonel Seddon
stated, that he :,ad replied, requesting permission of
the Commansi-roin-Chitf to continue his command,
and read to ;he corps the final answer of the Duke
of York.—C Seddon sa.d, that if his foetune
had permitt. d him to relinquish the advantages of
his profession, he would never have pasted with his
rt yoment I bti• as that Nair not toe case, he hoped
every man to cent would be satisfied that his resig•
natio : was it-avoidable. ( ere he was istetruptesl
by applause). Colonel Seddon expressed his at-
tachment to toe tor,', and his determination to
do every thin .1. in his o.iwer to promote its welter,
and discipline, in the strongest and must affecting
terms; and co lode I by desiring them to look
out for anoth s. • nmandant. Captain Silepper.ls
son sea; then onsously chosen to that important
situation, (it berag previously understood that Ma-
jar Hoar still wished to decline the co remand).
Colonel Seddon eapressed his corfidence coat Cap.
twin Slieppersiv.n. though young in the service,
would do use it so their choice, and offeted him-
self to stmerintesd the discipline of the corps, and
renrikr its Commenter every service in his power.
Captain Shepperdson. after paying a handsome
compliment to Col.mel Seddon, said, that if he had
been led to ontertein the idea of accepting the com-
mand, it WAS bllZAilfie ha undesstisod no person of
greater weight or fitness could be procured ; to any
such person he professed his wilingness to resigto
fie felt much relieved by Colonel Seddon 's offer of
assioanze, but had no idea of gratifying his osvn
ambition at the expense of the discipline of the
corps •• it, however, (he added) you will pardon
the defi‘enty I am sensible of, it you will promise
everyone of you to do your utmost to make up my
dated, I have too much regard for the Durham
Volunteers to decline so great an honour." Few
Volunteers have been so ably commanded as the
Durham, and few cot ps have lost two such Corn.
menders in so short a time; but from the animated
and scientific style in which Capt. Shepperdson com-
manded throughout the review, it is extremely
probable that the Colonel will be math better sup-
plied than could have beets expelled.
On Sunday last tho Derwent Legion was in-
speded by C slonel Seddon, and for the first time
al.prared in their new uniform. Their soldieolike
appe trance, and exactness in their exercise and dis-
cipline; are equal to any regiment of the line.

let the Prisoner go on board the fleet, provided lie

Wednesday being is come holiday at the Bank, the
Regiment of Bank %/ohm xis had a grand field-Tay
and were inspeffed by Cr.lonel Haarreacia. They
muttered at the Bank about nine o'clock, above
SOO s rang. Previous to marching to their field,
they were drawn up b fore the Mansion-house, and
paid their respects to the Lose MAYOR. who ap-
peared upon the balcony, and returned the compli-
ment. They looked remarkably well, and presented
a his martial appearance.
A wanton aet of atrocity was committed during
the performance at the Theatre, Canterbury, on Sa-
turday evening. A man, somewhat intoxicated,
threw a quart glas. battle from Vie gallery into the
pit, which, falling on the head of a servant of Lord
CRAt.LILY, broke, and wounded him considerably,
luckily not dangerously; the ['moulds at the same
time lacerated the cheek of another person, and the
arm of a young woman. The delinquent was im-
mediately discovered, and there was a general cry
at the moment, of " throw him over;" but, on thit
subsiding, he was secured, taken before the Nay oft,

XXLIVIIIID IX YHA CAPfTQL AT ItICIXOPO, ON
MI 4T* JULY, 1607, MT •CALTON JOIMIA, a$Q.

Festow-Cmzests,-
Upon the dawn of this day, for one and thirty
years,. we have been accustomed to look with tie
gladness of freedom. We have annually hailed its
artivaw, as the auspicious birth-day of American
liberty. It was the refpalgent mornirg of emanci-
patinn, and its mild radiance has cheered our hearts,
and lent an hilarity to our countenances, which
neither the trophies of guilty conquerors, nor the
magnificence of mighty monarchs, can ever bestow.
Mitch would it joy me, upon occasion of this holy
festival, to approach my fellow-citizens with the
usual congratulations, and greet them with the ac-
customed salutations upon the accomplishment of
another year, of peace, liberty, and happiness.
Diu our ancient foe, with whom we wrestled in our
you b, will no longer permit us to enjoy the blet-
sings of peace: No declaration of war has been
.o• ! but the aft of war nal been committed,
I,y tt.,• I oil. coward-like, cold-blboded murder, of
cpared and defenceless fellow-citizens.
I will hot say that our countrymen have been
killed—because that expression may imply death by
accident, or in some manner that may be justified or
excused; but I use the word murder, in its felonious
and in its basest sense: for there has not been the
faintest glimmering of prow ea:ion on our part, nor
the smallest exertion of manly ♦alour on theirs, to
illuuaine the dark atrocity which ensluonds this
gloomy event. No, there is not, my Lillow-citi-
tens, one solitary citcumstanste in all this tragical
transathion. to do away the guilt, or extenuate, in
the slightest degree, the erorns.ty of this meditated
Murder,

-7" -
The free and high-tn!ncled citizens of this great
and elevated western commonwealth, have been
treated like the slaves of dispo:isin ; they have been
forced into an involuntary servitude, nn board those
prisons, called British Men of War ; they have been
compelled, under the lash, to risk their lives, in de.
fince of a cause. not merely inaiferent and foreign
to their's and their country's interest, be° often bes-
ide to both. As an aggravati!:n (it any aggrava-
tion can be add.-d to the loss of libe-rty), they have
sported with their lives. and, in several instances,
particularly the dereaable occurrence, which it is
one ohjeEt of this meeting to deplore and execrate,
they have actually murdered them : Yes! the
" sensible warm rn,,tion" of our brave and generous
tart is converted into a " kneaded clod i" and the
vemorse4ss grave has received their lifeless trunks,
or their swoln 00,1116 ate buried deep in the caverns
of the ocean, or they have become loud for sharks
and dolphins. Mourn, mourn, my countrymen, for
your honour is insulted, your independence is a
mockery, and your libe: ty itself is but the tittering
best of • Tyrant's Slaves. Bat let our mourning
short ; let indignation succeed it; let the light-
ning of liberty from the area, blast, dissipate, and
scatter into "thin ail" the heavy cloud of guiic and
oppression that lours in the east.
Nothing can exhibit tout in a stronger point of
view the national insult we have received, than the
Isselancholy contrast between the appearance which
the Cheseptafv may be suppnsed to have worn at her
4epartnre from Norfolk, and her return to that place.
The frigate was built at that peen. and from that
circumstance alone may be presumed to have been a
favourite there. Behold then the citzen's assembled
to wiiness her departure, and follow her with ori.ons
for a prosperous voyage ; the cheery sailors, to tile
sound of a music of their own, rain: the cumbrous
anchor; shouts answer shouts trcro the beach to the
frigate ; now the fragrant gales of our groves bosom
her white canvas ; now the broad emblem of
our independence, gemmed and embossed with the
imitative start of heaven, waves in the fanning
breeze ; the high long streamer curls to the s char-
tered libertine,' the wind ; the proud vessel divides
the foaming billows, and the sails r bids adieu to the
happy shores which seem to recede from him ;
thus borne in majesty along, sailed a representative
of the American honour, freighted with the dignify
of the Republic. Unlucky cargo! shipwrecked in
sight of land ! freight, cargo, all, but the dishonour-
ed vessel,rifled by the ruffian handsrif Br
Ws Pirates !Lo see berreturn ! slow, rid, and weari-
some she comes; the ocean, a mirror. reflefts her
dishononred hulk back upon her perforated sides ;
skistrered, disunited, shorn of her national emblems
yea honours, she sinks ignorninionly upon the mud
of uetwholesame wharves ; her deck still reeking
with the blood, and deformed with the mangled
carcasses of our slaughtered countrymen ! Ame-
ricans! that blond calls for vengeance upon irs
authors. and those author, are the wicked and infa-
mous men who now rule Britain.

During the administration of that great political
luminary (Mr. Fox) there was an approach towards
amity and evencordiality. between the Government
of the United States and that of Great Britain.

But the spirit of Fox has fled. ipid. with it bas
departed, perhaps for ever, the good genius of the
English nation. • The adminisrration which has
succeeded Fox, is the most corrupt and treacherous
upon earth—and. however. as a peaceable and hu-
mane nation we may regret the evils which our
measures may inflia on the innocent people of Bri-
tain. yet is praarce we cannot separate the Govern-
ment from the people, nor confine the dreadful re-
taliation wl.ich we medicate, and ought to bestow,
to those wily who have been guilty of the aggres-
sion: no us. With one hand and with one heart,
then. let us unite to take an exemplary vengeance,
en that government, and that people. which. for
so many years, have annoyed and insulted us.
This day should revive in us the spirit of 76,
and animate us to rally around the standard of that
sadependences which was then declared. The great
state Paper. which records that event. has been a
continued and lasting glory to Americarr-let us not
lose the high bchens, which the wisdom and valor*
of our fathers aehieved—let not the pure sentiments
contained in that immortal instrument be ever sul-
lied by dereliaions trnm its principles—let not that,
which is no— pride, be turned to our shame : it
whew that we are the legitimate
r sire; whose deeds bate rendered
.2i:ter:cats Citirten a name of honour

to do so. I should not do well to endeavour to row •
in the bosom of any American those feelings which
he is presumed already to possess, and which it is
certainly dishonourable for him not to possess. And
happy am I to observe that a task of this kind is
stared to every man ; for no one meets his feilow-
citizen, Vats is not agitated with emotions corm-
spooding with his own. We have forgotten, we
have busied in oblivion, for ever, I trust, the divi-
sions which have di Crafted oar country. Gentlemen
of talents and virtue, which expression comprehends
every human excellence, who have hitherto differed
with their fellow-c tizens oa points of local policy,
come farward with promptitude, zeal and firmness,
to asr:w to the nation and to the universe, their con-
fidence in the w:sdom and patriotism of the Govern.
went. There are now no divisions among us ;we
have no parties ; we are one great integral colossus
of liberty, standing upon a rock of adamant ; and
with whatever violence the bleak surges of the At-
