An unfortunate occurrence took place IT.
our river on the 9Th inst. which has in no
small degree excited the feelings of every one
in this town. Mr. Drew who commando
Gun Boat, No. l66, which lay at anchor below
Brunswick, had received orders to prevent a.
ny vessel from violating the embargo act
The brig Mount Vernon, in ballast, under the
command of Captain Charles Dexter, had
arrived the day before from Barbados, and lay
at anchor opposite the New Inlet. In the
morning, Captain Dexter got under weigh to
proceed up to town, with the wind North East
and hood tide-Capt Dexter, while uncon-
scious of being subjected to any suspicion, or
placed in situation that required the scrutiny
Of the Officer of the Gun Boat, received three
mGsket shots from hcr--the second lodged
a ball in his thighs and the third shot struck
the long-boat on deck. An investigation
of this distressing event was made by three
gentlemen, at the request OF Lieut. Thomas n.
Gautler, commandant on this station-the re-
suit of which appears to be, that MIR. Drew

tertained by Messrs. Hammersley and Belt.
midshipmen, ON board at the time, that the
brig Intended to go out over the New Inlet,
gave orders to marine to fire ahead of her
at least SO yards, to bring her to--that three
shots we're fired before the brig hove TO-.
The marine acknowledged (of which there
was abundant other evidence to the same
point that he was strictly ordered not to fire
at the hull of the vessel. and said he could
not account for the unhappy accident only from
the rolling of the Gun-Boat in heavy sea, the
powder hanging fire, and the agitatons of his
hands (Which he Says always tremble whene.
yer he attempts to 6re.) There was also G.
violence thatthe brig headed easterly, as if in.
tending to go out of the New-Inet before the
first FIRE, though she was not then under full
weigh-after the first fire she headed as if
bound up the rver--after the second fire, she
clewed up her main-top-sail and bore down
for the gun-boat-after the third fire, she hone
10, and on the gun-boat's coming within hail of
her, she dropped anchor. Mr.. Drew, when
informed of Capt, DeXter's being wounded,
expressed his extreme regret at the circum-
stance, went on board the brig and offered eve
ry assistance in his power.
We have the pleasure to state, that Captain
Dexter whose suffcrings have excited SO ge-
neral sympathy, is on the recovery.

Mr. Pope submitted the following motion
for consideration
Whereas, the conduct of the French go
vernment, in falling to make compensation for
the property of the citizens of the United
States, seized and confscated under the
Rambouillet decree, in the year 1910, In ex-
Guiding from France, by enormous discrl-
minating duties, our tobacco and cotton, the
principal articles of export in the southern
and southwestern parts of the y. S. contrary
to our Just expectations, authorised by the
assurances of her minister; besides granting
licences to carry ION trade from certain
ports of the United States so disrepectful to
the feelings, SO derogotary to the sovereignty
of an independent nation; and the recent and
repeated aggressions of her public and pri-
vate armed vessels, on the lawful commerce
of the United States, demand from the impair.
TALLY, honor and dignity of this government,
a disavowal OF the arrangement made with
her, Which took effect on the I'd day of No

general COZ hdencc and respect, and to con-
vince every true American, that ihe object
of lis government is to unite the people in
marty American effort to resist foreign
a. erosion And whereas, many of our cltl-
gems. under an expectation or at least hope OF
change in our relations with Great Britain,
have. in the course of trade, acquired proper
ty bread not admissible bv existing laws, into
ths United States, the importation of which it
is reasonable and expedient to permit; expe-
dent. because it will not only prevent injuries
and losses o many of our citizens, but aid our
frances, cheaper the public supplies, until
suffciency can be procured of home manufac-
ture, AID lessen the necessity OF internal taxes
10 carry on the war in which we may be en-
gagged IN with Great Britain:
Therefore, RESOLVED, That the act, entitled

&C Dear Sfrs--I give you the news here of
to day, which you will find pretty correct -
Gov. Mitchell arrived here this morning, and
set off in few hours afterwards for Darien,
with all speed, Oh his way to Amelia Island, to
take the command from Mathews and deliver
up the island to the Spanish Commandant, to-
gether with any other parts of Florida which
may be in the possession of the troops of The
u. S. and to assure him of the Misrepresentation
of our government with the proceedings of
Mathews and Campbell. The Governors
Proclamation is now printing, calling upon the
American citizens to refrain from further pro
ceedings against that colony, and come home,
under penalties &c. So much fer that pref
ty business. The governor has ordered ou'
one thous nd militia to enforce his orders ii.
case OF n,ed, and also keep the local popuIa
ton in awe. So FIR right. 1t is understood
here that the Governor is ordered TO deliver
Amelia-Island up to the Spanish authorities
on or before the 3o;h inst. agreeably to pro
mise to Mr.. Foster"
