THE QUAKERS OF PENSYLVANIA.
The following remonstrance of the religious So-
ciety of Friends was, by a deputation from them,
presented to the Governor, at Harrisburg, on the
15th of October :
" TO SIMON SNYDER, GOVERNOR OP THE STATE OP
PENNSYLVANIA.
" The remonstrance of the religious Society of
Friends, commonly called Quakers, respectfully
sheweth—
" That the following publication appeared on the
11th inst. in a paper oithis city, styled The Democratic
Pm:, edited by John Binns, vie. -
" 4 We have information, upon such authority as
leaves us no reason to doubt the fact, that at a late
yearly Meeting of Friends' Society in this City, in
the Address then adopted as their Address to the
Friends' Society of Great Britain, there was in sub-
stance the following declaration and prayer :•••4 We
are in principle opposed to and deplore the war lei
which the United States are engaged with the Unit-
ed Kingdom : we will do all in our power to with-
hold from the Government of the United States the
means of carrying it on: we will not, either directly
or indirectly, contribute any money or other thing
which is to be applied to the support of the war.—
Acting under these principles, and adhering. to this
conduct, we humbly hope and trust that, if his Ma-
jesty's troops shall get possession of any portion of
the United States within which Friends may reside,'
their persons and properties will be held sacred. and
not injured or destroyed.'—We wish it to be dis-
tinctly understood, that we make. this information
public from a sense of duvi to the Government and
country. If the address be not a holding of treason-
able correspondence, o. a giving aid and comfort to
the enemy, then are we mistaken in the import of
words ; and if it be of this character, then ought it to
be enquired after, and its authors prosecuted.'
" Here, our religious Society are represented as
expressing sentiments adverse to the Government of
the United-States, and charged with holding a trea-
sonable correspondence ; an investigation of which
we have not the least objection to, but believe it a
duty incembent on us for the clearing our religious
profession from such unjust imputation and slander,
to state, in the most explicit manner, that no such
sentiments or expressions were written or addressed
to any meeting, or to the members of any meeting of
our religions society in England or elsewhere. It
has ever been our principle, and often published to
the world, that we can take no part in exciting com-
motion or giving molestation to the Government
Wider which we live, but are bound to lead a quiet,
inoffensive life among all men, and to seek the com-
fort, peace, and happiness of the Governments which
DIVINS PROVIDENCE may place over us.
41 The sincerity of this profession has been tested
by long and grievous sufferings on account of mili-
tary requisitions : and we have always disclaimed
seeking any relief by treasonable correspondence with
any nation or people, or by doing any act or thing
to the injury of any ; but where we cannot actively
comply with demands incompatible with our religions
testimony and principles, we have patiently suffered
for conscience sake.
" signed in and on behalf of a meeting appointed to represent
our religious Sodety in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, &c.
held in Philadelphia, the 12th of the 10th month, 1514.

BRITISH AGENT NOT PERMITTED TO LAND.
A flag of truce arrived here yesterday morning,
from the British sloop of war Morgiana, with a letter
from Gilbert Robinson, Esq. to General Cushing,
commanding officer of this military district. It has
been known for some time that Mr. Robinson has
been appointed agent for prisoners of war by the
British Government ; and we presume he has been
informed by the commanding officer, that the Go-
vernment of the United States will not receive him
in that capacity.. Four ships and a brig are now off
this port.
Sunday last two British Officers, Lieutenant Da-
niel Carpenter, formerly commander of the cutter
Algerine, and Lieutenant Lovesey, late of the brig
•liitx were arrested at Saybrook, and brought to
LI/U.o4e. By their representation they were a part
of the Di hostages sent from Pitsfield to Lancaster,
and have been exchanged. No subsistence having
been for some' wee ics furnished them, and no prospect
appearing of their being sent home, they determined
it possible to get on board some British ship. With
this view they left Lancaster, and came to Saybrook ;
where, after two unsuccessful attempts to get off in
boats, being first baffled by the weather, and then by
the tide, they were on the third day suspected to be
