That cur officers and men will do their duty—
will fight even desperately—we have no doubt; and
it is possible that our frigates may yet capture a
great number of the homeward fleet. All this may
happen ; the captors may be made rich, and the mer-
chants, whose prosperity is that of the people, will
certainly become poor. Let success in the com-
mencement of this war be ever so brilliant, one thing
is certain, that this part of the country will be impo-
verished and ruined. In ninety days from this time
a coaster will not be able to go from this town tti
Portland—fifty millions of property will have been
swept from the ocean—and 20,000 native seamen
thrown into prison. And yet we arc told that this
is a war to redress the Wrongs of our seamen, and to
vindiCate the rights of our commerce!

as this daring intrusion was made known to the citi-

tizens, dared not again to cut it away. There would
probably have been bloodshed% had it not been for
the interference of the civil authority. At a proper
expression of the feelings of the inhabitants on this
occasion, the flag was kept firing for the space of
two days.

into a Committee on a Bill permitting importations
from the East Indies, where the vessels sailed from
the United States previous to the Proclamation of the
President of the United States of the 2tl of Novem-

ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
' A Bill was reported by the Military Committee,
providing for the safe custody of prisoners of war;
which was committed and reported to the House,

" Three days ago the Colibri arrived from New •

Foster and Colonel Barclay; the Atalante, which
was going out as the Colibri was coming in, has been
ordered back, and sails to-morrow with the Minister,
Colonel Barclay, General Wallis, and Sir James
Cockburn, the Governor of Bermuda, for England:
the Colibri had four days passage. An Act of Con-
gress has passed, allowing packets to have ingress
and egress until the Ist of September next.
gg The Atalante arrived five days ago from Ber-
muda with the May mail, which had been brought
there in the Alphea. Captain Hickey did not hear
of the war until he arrived here : he had been so for- ,
