AT a meeting of the freeholders of Fairfax,
held at the courthouse, in pursuance of
general notice and in compliance with the
invitation of their fellow-citizeus of Lou
doun, Col James Coleman, senior magis-
trate of the county, was called to the chair.
The objects OF the meeting being stated in
concise address by Richard Bland Lee,
ESQ. committee was appointed to draw
resolutions for the consideration of the as
sembly. Their report was adopted, as fol-
lows:
Whereas in the opinion of this meeting the
present periIous and alarming condition of our
country, when an unnecessary and wasting
war has been declared by the government OF
the United States against the only power who
is able to inflct serious Injuries on US, with
whom and her allies fSpain and Portugal we
might have enjoyed the most beneficial and
useful commerce; it IS necessary tor-thc good
people Of this commonwealth to resort TO the
permanent controul which they possess over
their rulers, whose weakness, want OF Tore
sight and hrmness, have brought Oh this once
happy land its present calamitles--
Resolved That We dread the present war,
as tending necessarily to produce an alliance
with the emperor of the French an alliance
which the fate of every other nation has prov
edto be the sure precursor OF unconditional
submission
That we dread as its worst and very proba-
Bile consequence, severance Of the Union

The National mtelligencer OF Saturday.
contains the letter OF Com Rodgers to the Sc
crctary Of the Navy relative to his late cruise
from which it appears, that the object of Pur-
suit, was the Jamaica feet which sailed for
England on or about the goth May The
pursuit was continued until the 18th July, and
within l8 or 30 hours sail Of the British chan
ncl.-The squadron made seven captures and
one re-caprure during the cruise, and brought
in between 80 and 100 prisoners. We shall
give the letter al length in our next paper.
The Intelligencer states that no commune
cation has been received at Washington as
vet from Gen. Hull-That Col Cass has ar
rived at Washington and made his report Oh
that subject to the War Department, but that
they have not been able to obtain copy for
publication.--7h IS unfortunate. We hope II
will not be forgotten, that on the 18th Sept
we are told, thst ne communication bias been
received at Washington, from Gen. Hull on
the subject of his surrender.
