The indignation and adherence with which
the late attempts by plumber, menace and
massacre, at Savannah, Petersburg and Balti-
more, to destroy the freedom of the press and
the discussion of public measures, are every
where regarded, give positive assurance that
the Neutrality-suspicious. under which these
attempts were instigated, will be put down,
and that change ofmen, at the ensuing cleo
tons, will ensure change of measures, and
the restoration of peace and prosperity to our
distressed and degraded country-For, if a
correct inference may be drawn from the pub
lie sentiment, as expressed in the recent con-
.ventions and meetings of states and counties,
net single vote, in the approaching election
of chief magistrate, will be given, east Of The
Defazare, for 6 THE CITIZEN OF France"
And as common safety and common interest
must unite in guiding Pennsylvania, Delaware,

APPROPRIATE REMARKS.

Under the mail head will be found an &C
count of the proceedings of another mob in
Baltimore. This city seems to be visited for
its political denominations For the last six or
eevenweeks, the most complete anarchy which
execrable jacobinism can produce, has govern
ed there. Every good man must sympathze
with the few righteous who inhabit this devot-
ed place.
A mob, where all the mad and daring pas
sions of man are congregated, is like food
Of water; if restrained on one side, it will
burst out GA the other, and whelm, In COM
mon Destruction, friends and foes. Those
concerned in fomontlng these riots need but
look into the recent history OF unhappy France
for the usual and unavoidable consequences
of MODS. There experience speaks from the
bastile and the guillotine. Those who to-day
received the shouts of the populace, were to-
morrow led to execution. Human nature IS
the same throughout the world. Whenever
civil government surrenders the relnS into the
hands of the turbulent and violent passions OF
man, it is like breaking up the fountains of
the great deep. Those who lnstgate mob,
may fiatter themselves that they Can govern
it,. but they deceive themselves they may as
well attempt to govern wbirlwind. tits the
fear of the mob that governs them. Those
who encouraged the Baltimore mob, are now
compelled to look on without daring to inter-
fere for the moment they do, that very mob
will glut their revenge on those who instigat
ed them.
This is the nature and character of mobs,
drawn from the faithful page history. What
shall we say of men, acquainted with human
nature, who, to answer party ends and to boil
ster sinking cause, lot loose upon society a
gang of rufians, blood thirsty as the Tiger that
preys in the forest-instead of enforcing and
maintaining the laws We believe the time
to be fast approaching, when our Inflated
country will again be governed by wisdom and
integrity. There is stamina in the land
which the Vaccinations of demagogues can
not destroy there is yet a portion of that fire
left which animated the bosoms of the patri-
OTIS ofthe revolution; there is yet aredeeming
spirit in ths constitution which will restore

6 Honor'd SRI have to inform you that
we sailed from N York, the 18th July on a
cruze.-On the 10th at sunrise discovered
sail to windward, which proved to be the
British ships Africa, Shannon, Guerrero, Bel
yidera and lEolus, and which gave as chase,
we then standing Eve Immediately wore
ship to the w. and made all sail, it then blow
ing fresh, and used every exertion to get clear
by throwing overheard our guns, and starting
water in the hold all which proved fruitless.
At half past 10, after chase of 8 hours,
the Shannon came within half gun shot: when
we had no alternative but to strike our colors
to force SO superior to ours. The officers &
crew behaved like men, and would not have
submitted but to a greatly superior force.
Great praises are due to Capt. CRANE for his
officer and seamanlike conduct; and the Lieu
tenants and other officers merit the attention
ola grateful country.
g Since we have been prisoners we have
been treated with the utmost pollteness by the
officers of this ship,-We have every indul-
gence which we could expect and can hardly
realize that we are prisoners. We expect IN
few days to be sent to Halifax, to remain
until we are exchanged, which we hope will
be soon, and that in the mean time our coun-
try will not forget us. / ann sc.
