4nd to the latest moment conduttaid, himself With
great fortitude. He was a good-looking young man,
and posseised of about two hundred pounds, which
he bequeathed by will to his bister the day before
his execution.

Since his arrival here on Monday from,the County
Gaol, he has been constantly attended
.by a. Roman
.Catholic Priest. 'After mounting the Scaffold, which
was placed partly On the outer Wall of the Spanish
Prison, in order that this companions might witness
his ignominious fate, and who were all turned into
the court-yard for that 'purpose' he joined .114
Priest afew minutes most fervently* 'in prayer, when
he rose and turned to his, fellOw-colintrymen, whom
liepathetically. addressed, in the SpaniSh !languagp;
and charged' them, in the. name or God and the
Virgin Mary, to avoid intoxication, and ..to live as
'much as possible in hardony with each other, see-
ing.that' the contrary of this conduct in.himsell had
brotight him to d'premature and disgracefUl end.—
After again joining in prayer with the Priest; the
rope was fastened round his neck, when' he ascended'
the ladder to the'top of the gallows (upwards.*of 20
feet in height) with a quick but firm step, and -was
almost instantly afterwards impelled into eternity; .
The cause of. his being brought hither, for exe;
cution was oWing to an of inion that. prevailed
among the Spaniards, that the sentence of death' on
another Prisoner, who committed a siniilar, crime,
for which he was tried and executed 'at a 'former
Assizes at Exeter, had not been carried into effecl,
but that he had been permitted to return to Spain:
It is hopechhis awful example will operate as a.
Warning to these deluded men, and prevent in fu-
ture the horrible grime of assassination, too frequent,
ly practiced by them, another instance of which QC-,

• Wr. ha vei received, by the American' Ship
New York Papers to' the 12th ult. •' They 'contain
the Proclamation issued by the President ..of' the
United States, in consequence of the unfortunate
rencontre bet%Veen the .Leopard and. the Chesepeak,
which will-be found•in a subiequent column 'We
are extremely sorry to find that the -animositY. of
the Americans against this Country appears' to be.
unbounded. Every artifice that ingenuity 'could
suggest to inflame them has been used. There are,
however, strong grounds
,to hope that
,the modera-
tion and good sense of _the Governments. of the
two Countriei' will prevent hostilities. A Vessel
has been .dispatched Mr, JEFFERSON' with re?'
monstrances- to the British Government, and -it
has been deter Mined that no hostilities shall be
commenced on the I)3ft:of AM erica until an an-
swer is received. In the . mean time, great appre,,
hensions were...entertained that the British ShipS
would bombard Hampton, and preparations were
making to defend it. Orders were issued to equip
a great nuMber of 'Gun-boats, and ten thou-,
sand. of the Militia are called. out. It was' ex.
penetl 'that the British .Cruizers. would make an
attack upon the two French ,Line-of-battle Ships,
F'atriote and L'EOle, which are in then Chem.
peak. The Officers of the American Frigate, the
bliesapeak, have presented a strong Memorial against
their Captain (Bititaos) fdr not having had his
Ship cleared
,for anion; and for not doing his
utmost to take and destroy the Leopard. They ,
have demanded a Court of Inquiry upon their con,
dud, and at the same time requested that Captain
BARRON may "be Put under arrest.
It is reported, but we hope 'without foundation,
that. an anion took• place at Lynnbaven, between
200 British, who land:4 for th© purpose of obtain-
ing. water, and about 400 American Militia, in
which some were killed on both sides.

Another report, which we also trust is unfounded,,
states, that Capt.DouGLits,the sen. British Comman-
ding Officer on the station, has declared Hampton in a
state of blockade until the Resolutions were rescinded;
and that if they would not permit him to obtain' sup-
plies, he would take them by force. •

No Foreigner is to be suffered to leave any of our
Ports at present, andthe Passports o4taiued be►ore

PRPC4IATION.
Duanl, the Wars Which, fur some time, have un-
happily prevailed among the Powers of Europe, the
United States of4merica, firm, in their principles of
Peace, have enFleavoure4 by justice, by a regular, dig-,
charge of all their national and social duties?, and by.
every friendly office their situation has, admitted, to-
maintain, with 'all 'the Belligerent's, their accustomed
relatiops of friendship, hospitality, and commercial
interceurse., •

Taking no part in thp quettions which animate
these Powers against each other, nor permittiti'
themselves to- entertain a wish but for the general-
restoration of Peace, they have observed with good
faith the ne9trality they assumed, and they believe
that nd instance of a departure from its duties can
be justly imputed to them'by any nation. A ..froe.
use of their harbours and waters, the means of mt.'
fitting and 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 gig 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 Coal
manderS of the British Armed Vessels hovering qu':
our Coasts, and frequenting our ElarboUrs. 'they
have been the subjea of repeated representations rti;
their Government. Assurances have been, 'given,
that proper .orders should restrain them within, the
limit of the rights and of the reape& duc'to a: fri6pdiy-
‘l\Tatioii.; bU; those.orders and assurancesJ)aye been
without etie6k: and no'instance of punishment-for
past wrongs has taken place:
At length; a deed, transcending all we. .Intle'j,
hitherto,teen,or,suffered,, brings the public sensibility
to a serious crisis, and our forbearancelo a necessary
pause. A Frigate of the United States; trdisting-to a
state of peace, and leaving her harbour on a distant
service, hat been .surprised and attacked by a British
Vessel of superior force, one of a Squadron then
lying in our waters, and covering the transglion,
and has been disabled from service, with the loss of
a number of then killed and wounded.

ty wycliout 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
chara6ter, it; had been previously ascertained that
the seamen demanded were native citizens of the
United.'States. •Having effeCted his purpose, he re-
turned to anchor with his Squadron within our ju-
risdietion. Hospitality under such circnmstances
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 ruptura 'be-
tween the , two Nations. This extreme resort is
ecioallY 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
GoVernrnent, and. strengthen' the motives to an ho-
Pourable reparation of the wrong which has been,
done; and to' that effectual controul of its
Commanders, which alone, can justify thd 'Govern=
menr of the United
.States in the exercise of those
hospitalities it is.now constrainedto discontinue..
. In consideration of these circumatances, and of the
right of every Nation to regulate its own police, to pro-
vide for its peace, and for the.safety of its citizens,
and consequently torefuse the admission of armed %es-
gels into its harbours or waters, either in such numbers
or of such description, 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, pow .within the harbours or waters
of the United States, immediately, and without any
delay to depart-from the same, and interdiCting the

said Armed Vessels, and to all others bearing COm-
missions under the authority of the British Govern-
ment.

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 inter-
course with them or any of them, their Officers or
Crews, and do prohibit all supplies and aid fro
being furnished to them or any of them.
