NEWBURYPORT, Tan. IS.

To7Un-mecting.-The Inhabitants of his
town, assembled Yesterday, to take into
consideration The calamitous situation of our
country, and to adopt such measures IS may
be thought exredient for the relief of or
present sufer;nSs. The largest concourse
OF people assembled that perhaps ever net
in town meeting since the town was incor-
porated. After choosing lillian Bagt!et,
Esq. Moderator, and suitable prayer be-
ing made by the Reverend DR.. Spring, a
.committce was chosen to prepare suitable
resolutions expressive of the sense OF the
town, and a Petition to the Legislature Of
this Commonwealth, PRAYING their inter
ference to obtain a redress of grievances,
which, after retiring a short time, return
ed, and reported the same for acceptance.
Some debate arose on. accepting the resolu-
tons and Petition, in which the most indie
corous observations were made by the fee
bic opposition. It was finally carried, al
most unanimously, only TEN voting in the
negative; those principally officers Of go
vernment, or expectanss of Offices.

THE RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, as the sense of this town

n Nesohved, as the sense of this town:
That the people of these United States
have arrived at crisis, distressing and por-
tentous, beyond parallel; and calling aloud
on every citizen, anxiously to explore it's
causes and its remedies.
That we consider the acts Of Congress,
laying the embargo, as originating neither
in necessity, nor in sound policy. THAI We
view them as hostile to the most essential
Interests OF our country As calculated to
empty our national treasury !; to plunge in
dividuals into the depths of embarrassment
and distress and to spread proverty and
wretchedness, vice and INSTRUMENTATION,
through this once happy community.
q That while we consider these laws as IN
volving needless and enormous waste of
property, we are still more distressed at
those violations of right, which they have
introduced. That we can never contem-
plate, but with horror, laws, which vest in

t;uent. He may relv upon it, without
doubt. since Austria, the only power that
could disturb it in future, has given the
strongest assurance. of herSdispositions, by
recalling her ambassador from London, and
by putting an end to all political communl-
cation with England.
Yet Austria had recently made arn'a-
ments-they took place undoubtedly with
outany hostile intention prudence
dictated energetic measures OF precau-
tion----the armies of Germany and TIA
W. are strengthening themselves with the
levies of the new conscriptlon-the troops
of the confederation Of the Rhine are COM
plete, well organized and disciplined.
d One hundred thousand OF the grand ar
my quit the Prussian states to occupy the
camp at Bologne, whilst Denmark, hence
forth sheltered from invasion ON the part OF
England, is evacuated by our troops, who
3 are concentrating themselves. Before the
end of January, the batralions drafted for
Spain will lie replaced upon the Banks OF
the Elbe and the Rhine.
Those who had quilted Italy last year,
return to their ancient destination.
Such, gentlemen, is the external situation
of the empire.
In the interior, the greatest order in all
parts Of the administration, important aaae-
iiorations, a great number u institutions
have excited the gratitude of the people"
The president Fontanes made reply to
the y,;n;ster-;n which he SAYS. "Woe to
the sovereign who is only great at the head
Of his armies happy he, who is necessarily
empIoved in useful works to unbend him
SELF after the fatigues of war;" !" We can
not pay the emperor greater homage than
to wish that his warlike talents may soon
become useless-He is sure to find III him
self other means of grandeur. Let us not
doubt it, thanks to ali he will undertake for
the national felicity, his renown as conquer
orwili be hereafter only the weakest part OF
his glory"

GLOUCESTER RESOLVES.

Alta legal meeting of the inhabitants Of
the town OF Gloucester, Massachusetts, fa

were read, and unanimously accepted with

whose object or tendency is other than the
public good or whose policy is guided By
other MOVIES than the general interest, uei

Pes2locd, That there is nothing more
desirable or advantageous than PEACE,
when bottomed on Justice and Honor 50
there is nothing more disgraceiul, whea
attained by base aeans, aad purchased at

Resok0ed, That as our national rulers
have attempted to teach us lesson hard 10
be understood By free'nen, viz. That our
vessels must rot al ou~ wharves for secur-
tv--our mariners desert their country Tor
employment and protection, Or statve at
home--our prodace must perish on Our
hanJs-a standing array must be disti15ut-
ed through our country to enforce the most
unjust, unequal and oppressive laws-,l:
people nust be reduced step by step to 20,
verty till their spirit is broken down, and
they become nalion of s!aves-and the
will Of President must be paramount 10
the constitution; so, we will never an
plaud, or support that administration, who
at this awful crisis, are regardless of oar
suHerings-who tranp!c on oar rights, AMI
turn deaf ear to our just complaints.
Resoi0ed, That some OF the mostinlpor'
tant provisions ofthe constitution have been
violated that Congress, under pretense
OF regu!atiny, have auiA:satea commerce.
that astandinS army has been raised, anu
