AMERICA.

-NEW-YORK, MAY new and glaring insult
is offered to the Inhabitants' of thiS defenceless City,
in the President's Proclamation—lnstead of boldly
demanding Capt. WHITBY of 'his Government, to
be tried by ourlaws, we are commanded by, our
High Admiral to.arrest him if he comes within our
harbours; and if' he remains on board his Snip (al-
though within 200 yards of the City),-and refuses to
give himself up, we are then to abstain front supply-
ing him with provisions !--0 America !—O my
Country! how art thou fallen !---Spirit'of 76 .or 98,
whither art thou fled ?

At a numerous and respeetable Meeting of Arne-.
rican Seamen, at Hardy's Tavern, No.. to, Orange-
street, in consequence of a notice in the American
Citizen, on Tuesday evening last, •
- Capt.-PETER BANKER, in the Chair:
Resolved unanimously, That .the money paid by Mr. jef-
ferson, tor the wild lands of Louisiana, would havebeen bet-,
ter applied to building 74 gun ships.
Resolved unaniinouslyi That the.seamen Of _America have
been too long exposed to attacks, impress:nem, and instil :,.
from all nations, in consequence f the cowardice of (air ;0-
-vernment, and that we are willing and able to defend our,
selves, if the Government would give us•slays.
Resolved unanimously, That we attribute the death .of
our fellow seaman, John Pi&CC, to the want of that protec-
tion, to which all American seamen are entitled.

Resolved unaniinously, That the present ruling party have
treated the American seamen with neglect aial injuAtme—that
the Federal Party are our trends, and that they deserve our
thanks-for their exertions in our tay.:)ur.

Resotved-unanimousiy, That the President of the United
States had better beemployecf in asserting the right, defend-
ing-the honour, and t?rotecting, the flag of his country, than
in stuffing, Racoon skins, and disseeting new discovered ani-
-411415.

Resolved, That we abhor tribute, and consider it our duty
to place men in power who will command a pe.tce, not
buy it.

PETER BANKER, Chairman.

BosToN, MAY I.—Congress rose on Monday the
21st ult. In a bit Of the heads of 52 A&s and Re-
solves, which have been passed during the Session,
we do not find Mr. NICHOLSON'S Nun Importation
A. Has the President refused his signature to a
measure which lyas supported_ by his friends in both
Houses of Congress, and conceived to be a favourite
project of his Cabinet ? Or does he mean to confirm
the opinion, entertained by many, of its being no-
thing more than a political scare-crow ? It is full
time for Mr„ Jefferson to quit his whirligig Chair,
and assume the portly front of an efficient and
coercive Statesman. The daily insults which are
committed on our Flaorand the wanton manner in
which the lives, as well' as' propertyof our Citizens,
are sported with by every Nation, call aloud for the
display of these talents. The times demand theta:

• In the New York Papers, we find a list of 52 A&s
and Resolves which have been passed during the late
Session of the Congress. As the Bill prohibiting
the Importation of certain CommOdities from Great
Britain is not among the number, we may reason-
ably infer.that Mr. JEFFERSON has thought it expe-,
dient to withhold his sanction to the Measure. The
Bill, as it stands, is therefore a dead letter.
