We learn verbally from Captain Barker

ADDRESS.
FeNo5y- Gtizens,

Long experience has taught
Us to observe with deep concern for the inter
csts of mankind, that the extension of TO-
reign commerce q navigation hath not made
nations more just or generous: it hath not af-
forded to the persons or properly of weaker
states, protection against the hands Of vio-
Ience and rapacity: it hath not disposed tie
great powers of the earth to close study
and pursuit of the more useful and peaceabic
arts of life: it hath done little towards the a.
moderation Of the condition of man in many
countries. As philosophy has vainly hoped
and for what humanity has often sighed, it
hath not brought nations nearer TO a social
bond OF union, arnity and peace. On the con-
trary the same experience hath taught US
painfully to know, that it too often eXcites
the ambition, avarice, jealousies and rival
~ of states which provoke and promote war
that it does not add to the happiness, virtue,
or safety ola freq, Just and unofferdiHg nati-

was addressed from the executive OF the u

with copy of a letter from Dr. Penniman
to the executive, both of which Mr. p. heard

stated a: c'asf1iracy and combination amongst
the people bordering on lake Champlain and
Canada, to oppose the embargo act, whic h
could not be suppressed without the aid Of

The letter addressed to Gov. Smith was
discretionary, yet so directory in advising,
him to repair immediately to Lake Cham
plain, to put the whole body OF militia in re-
QUESTION, that the Governor said he would
accompany the express for that purpose
He was however d. ertcd from it by the ad-

In many of the great commercial towns

which viii tor some time occur, in conduct
