TO THR PATRIOTIC CITIZENS OF RICHMOND.

The character of your cepuntry has sustained a wound in the
surrender of General Hull. Our brethren of the frontiers are
exposed to the tomahawk of the savage. A prompt exertion
It be made to cure the one, and repel the oiler : 1500 Virgi-
nians are called upon to unite with the Army of the West, in
holy cause of their country, for whole accommodation, with-

four days, 250 tents, and 1500 knapsacks, are wanting. To
your patriotism, and particularly to that of the Ladies, I anealp
ask for all the aid you can furnish to further their comple.

Those who are willing to promote this desirable object,
signify to me, wjthout a moment's delay, the number of
hands they can furnish. Compensation wi Ibe made to those

to wish it. Every room in the capital not otherwise engaged
be opened for the accommodation of those who may attald.
iuch as prefer continuing at home wiU have their portion of
,ork sent them. 411 persons conversant with the cutting and
taking tents will confer a'favour by attending and lending their

reiILADELPHIA.—The following description of the
tte of that city, brought on by the war, and a want
foreign commerce, is from the True American :
:tween 300 and 400 house; empty ; metre closing ;
:arly one-halt are the most valuable property in the
:y, stands for business, • which formerly comman-
d extravagant rent, now reduced already one-third,
,ncl.may, ere long, be onehalf in price. Merchant
iessels of every description, more especially of exten-
ie burdens, moored asconomicaliy in the borough of
.ensingtun and the Navy-yard, to save the expence
wharfage ; foreign goods that formerly were in
amdance, now scarce ; the few remaining on hand
!vanced to exorbitant prices, to such a degree as to
prevent the indigent altogether from purchase. Shop-
keepers, who once could scarce spare time for their
-.teals, now yawning, and stretching their tired, in-
live limbs, for scant of more active employment,
id, what is more disagreeable, contemplating on the
pecuniary of course) time to come !
If national poverty be a national blessing, as some
niquated philo,sophers believed, and some modern
iilosophers appear to approximate with a rapid
ride, we than have it to the fill; it does require but
.ctle foresight to predict, unless a reform takes place,
that the time is not far distant, when Philadelphia,
Bret in opulence, in science, and the arts, shall, with
her sister commercial cities, mourn the decline of fo-
ign commerce, and be reduced to the poverty and
insignificance pf Bordentown, or other petty towns
the Delaware.

" SlR—The forts at the westward are in posses-
ion of the British ; and from the best information
can procure, the enemy were at Huron last even.
ig, on their way to this place, and we expect them

inhabitants to make a stand here. The troops ate
marching in to our assistance from the adjacent
towns, We wish all the assistance which canhe pror
tired instantly,
" 'N. B. It is of the utmost importance that expe-
ition is used, and if the troops are furnished with
ammunition, it will be of great use on this pressing
occasion ; but be sure to be on the spot without delay.
Yours, respectfully, G. PeAsa, Brig. Maj."

ft We apprehend a very serious attack from the
indiana a; soon as the con; is ripe. They are assem-
ling in all quarters, land in very large numbers.
tur Government gives us promise of protection ; but,
ithout exertion to lurnish it immediately, it will, I
im teartut, be of little use to the unfortunate frontier
ainliies, at 4 even perhapi to the whole of the two
territories, We are not able to protect ourselves
ag.tinst such powerful foes as, it is supposed, we shall
,ve to contend with."

Ngihr YORK, SP'ITMBR
It gives as much pleasure to state, that the Com-
modore is so tar recovered of the fracture of his kg
'in the running-fight with the Delvidero as to be
able to walk on criitches nor ought we omit to
Inegtion that, alter receiving that wound, he remained
on deck, in Opposition to the remonstrances of his

friends, until all hope had ceased of bringing the i
British frigate to action.
SErr. 22.—1 t is currently reported that Mr. Mon-
roe is to be appointed Commander in Chiet of the
Armies of the United States, and that Mr. Jefferson
is to be brought into the Administration in the place
of Mr. Monroe, to assist Mr. Madison to make a
treaty of peace with England. This is another trap
intended to deceive the people. The incumbents
perceive the opposition to them increases evtry day,
and that if the peoplc receive correct information,
good men will take their places ;—they, therefore,
have hit upon this plan to prevent, it possible, the
strong expressions of the rublic voice at the ensuing
important elections. A Treaty of Peace with Eng-
land—under Madison and !—Who will be-
lieve it ? Who can believe it poss:ble ?
