FROM THE HAUJAZ PAM OF JULY S.

THZ WAR AT SFA.....2The first fruits of war will
probably be on the ocean. The British hay. on the
Halifax, Newfoundland, and West-India stations,
three' sail of the line, 21 frigates, 19 sloops of war.
and 18 smaller vessels, making a total of 61 armed
vessels : the greater part of these will receive the
Declaration of War just made, in a few days, and
will be in immediate readiness to carry it into caeca- ,
tion. To meet this force, and to check the depre-
dations on American commerce, we have the fol-
lowing remains of as gallant a little navy as ever
floated on the ocean:
ts The President, 44 guns, Commodore /Looms;
United States, 44, Commodore Ducarea ; Congress,l
36, Captain SMITH ; Essex, 32, Captain Poem ;
Hornet, 16, Captain LAWRINCE ; and Argils, 16,1
Captain SINCLAIR ; all these were a few drys since i
lying in New-York, ready for sea. The Constitution,
44 guns, Captain HULL, was at the last dates at-An-
napolis, bound round to New-York. The Chesa-
peake, 36, is now repairing in this port ; and the
Constellation, of the same force, in Washington. •
The John Adams, Captain LUDLOW, of 24 guns,
and the Nautilus brig, of 12, Captain CRANE, are
now in this port, ready for sea. Beside these, the
Siren, of 16 guns, Captain BAINBRIDGE, the Enter.
prize, of 12, Captain BLAKrLEY, and the Vixen, of
12, Captain GADSDEN, are also in readiness. On the
exertions of this naval force to give to our menaced
commerce all the protection in its power, we have
the most perfect confidence, and lament that it is not
infinitely greater. All that valour, skill, and patrio-
tism can do, will be done ; and if the mercantile com-
munity shall suffer loss, no imputation could justly
fall on the naval officers orour country, for whose
success in its protection they have the best wishes of
every American citizen.
44 Mr. FOSTER is making preparations to leave the
country, much to the joy of M. SERRURIZR.
Yesterday, on the promulgation of the Decla-
ration of War, the feelings of the commercial part of
the town were immediately expressed by all the ves-
sels hoisting their colours half-mast high, with the
exception of four coasting vessels. It is said that 12
privateers were fitting for sea in Baltimore, on Thurs-
day last."

STAR-OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.

We stop the Press to state, that an Embargo has
been this instant laid on all American Property at
the Custom-House. Similar instructions were last
night sent off to all the Out-ports.

Orders have been also issued for all American
vessels to be seized And brought in by our cruizers,
wherever they may be fuund ; but even this measure
does not remove our hopes of an amicabli: adjustment

conduct in the Ministers of both countries.
