FROM LIVERPOOL.

The ship Rapid. captain Murfey, arrived
at this port, on the Sd inst. from Liverpool,
which place he left on the 22d June. Preyi.
GUS to his sailing the news of the affair of the
Little Belt had reached England, which ex-
cited no irritation whatever, the rencontre
being attributed to the mistake of a night.
The greatest distress existed at Manches-
ter Leeds, &c. among the manufacturers !;
so much SO, that goods were made and pawn
ed at one quarter of their value, to supply
the Hungry cravings of the laboring part of
the community. All specie was very scarce.
Bills on America bore 4 premium of ten per
cent. At Lloyd's they refused to insure ves-
sells from England to any ports of the cont
mental belliserents. The INSTRUMENTATION
act OF this country injured the manufacturing
interest to most extensive degree. Cotton
sold at loss, and but very little sale for IT.
Warm debates had ensued in the parliament
relative to this country, and severe sarcasm
had been used on both Sides
On the edge of the Grand Bank the Randi
was boarded by an EH.glisT schooner, nonn-
ting 10 Is pound carronades, under French
coLors-the 6argemen who boarded him were
dressed in French dress, with bfue h6erfv

from France. Is not this one of the French
vessels, said to be fitted out in America n
This scbr. was built atBaltmore, is upwards
OF 24o tons, and was formerly called the
Nonpareil.
The night previous to captain MURrEY's
sailing, it was reported that Sir w. Scott
had given dofnitive decree relative to the
captured vessels bound to and returning from
France, which decree was pronounced in
favor OF the eaptors, and all our vessels ille-
sally condemned for contravening the orders
in council Fifty-fodr were involved imme-
diately in this judgment, about double the
number were involved in the out ports and
in Ireland.

ANNAPOLIS, August IA.

The two following letters are submitted to
the candid consideration of every reel .Hn1e-
rican. They cannot fail to blast forever the
ridiculous charge of French influence" SO
often reiterated by the deadly enemies Of
Republican Government. The "unexam.
pied wrongs inflicted upon us by the beDiee-
rent powers" have drawn our country TO an
awful crisis. She appeals for support in this
hour of trial to the patriotic feelings of all
genuine Americans--shall we then encourage
the monstrous professions of foreign pow
ers, by holding out the appearance of dis
affection and division at home, or shall we
not rally, firm and united, around the STAN
dard OF our own country, evincing deter
ninaticn to transmit, unimpaired to posteri-
tty those dear and valuable rights which have
been handed down to us, consecrated by the
blood of our forefathers.
Shall idle tales of French influence induce
MS at period like this to array the govern
ment OF the state of Maryland in opposition
to that OF the Union lit cannot be SO. The
flrst Monday in September will afford an adj
ditional proof to the world, that the Sovereign,

TRANSPORT, (Ken.0 July 3,

The report of an express having arrived
from the Governor of the Indiana territory to
Governor Scott, requiring call of the mill
tia OF this state, we are informed is without
foundation. Indeed it is doubtful whether the
Indians intend any other acts Of hostility, as
we are told the chief Of the nation who killed
the whites, disavow any participation in the
act, and arc making use Of every exertion in
their power to take and deliver up to the
whites the offenders, that they may be pun

The House resolved itself into a commit

or The report of the Committee of Foreign
Relations, made some days ago. The report
having been read
Mr. Porter rose to state the views of the
committee. He depicted the Inconsistent
conduct Of Great Britain towards us, and the
miserable shifts and evasions to which her
ministry had tesortcd to justify her unprovok-
ed aggressions on our rights. 1t had been
the general opinion of the committee, thar
tie exigency demanded war, and that it was
the most probable and indeed now the only
mode Of obtaining justice. Mr.. Porter ad-
verted to the manner in which we could af-
feet Great Britain by war in land and sea
by taking the Canadas, from which she now
exported annually to the amount of millions
c. dollars essential almost 10 her navy, sc.
all which she would lose. Convinced as the
committee was that war was the only resort,

imbursed on account of toe principal of the
publick debt. With a view 10 the ensuing
year, and considering the aspect of publiek
affairs presented by the executive, and the
measures or expense which he has recon-
mended, il has been attempted to show,
|. That a fixed revenue CT about nine mil
lions of dollars is necessary and sufficient,
both under the existing situation Of the Unit
ed States and in the event of their assuming
a different attitude.
2. That an addition to the rate Of duties ON
importations is at present sufficient for that
purpose, although in the course of events it
may require some aid from other sources OF
revenue.
5. That just reliance may be placed on
obtaining loans 10 a considerable amount, for
defrsying the extraordinary expenses which
may be incurred beyond the amount Of reve-
nse above stated.
A. That the peace revenue of the United
States will be sufficient, without any extraor-
dinary exertions, to discharge in a few years,
the debt which may be thus necessarily in
