A CROCLAMATIOL`r.

Whereas it is manifest that ilk- blockade, ,psi ph has been
proclaimed by the enemy, of the 'whole Atlantic coast of the
United States, nearly two thousand miles in extent, and
abounding in ports, harbours, and navigable inlets, cannot be
carried into effect by any adequate force actually stationed for
the purpose ; and it is rendered a matter ofcertainty and no-
toriety, by the multiplied and daily arrivals and departures of
the private armed vessels of the United States, and of other
vessels,that no such adequate force has been so stationed : and.
whereas a blockade thus destitute of the character of a regnlar
and legal blockade, as defined and recognized by the establish-
ed law of nations, whatever other purposes it may be made to
answer, forms no lawful prohibition or obstacle to such neutral
and friendly vessels as may choose to visit. and trade with the
UnitedlStates t and whereas it accords with the interest and
the arnieble views of the United States, to favour and pro-
mote, as far as may be, the- tree and mutually beneficial com-
mercial intercourse of all friendly Nations disposed to en-
gage therein, and, .with that view, sto afford to their vessels
destined to,the United States, a more posit ive'artd satisfactory:
security against all interruptions, molestations, or vexations
whatever, from the cruizers of the United States,;—Now be it
koown, that 1, James Madison, President of the United,
States of Aruericd, do, by'thil Proclamation, strictly order

BALTiMOiti, JUNE 21.--A detachment of the
British have landed anti burnt the warehouses at
the following landings; viz: Lower Marlborough,
Benedict, Cdles, and Magrader's, containing full
4000 hogsheads of tobaccti. This article may be
estimated at 50 dollars per hogshead. In this
manner is the war carried on, otli• troops leave
our sea-board for Canada, by orders of the Gd,
vernment. Boston is precisely in the same state ;
the town is left to protect itself. Our sea-ports
have been systematically abandoned, ,as if it were
the- intention of Government to invite the enemy
to lay them in ashes.
