After thirty years Of peace and prosperity,
the United States have been driven To arms.
The injuries and aygresslons, the insults and
indigBities OF Great Britain have once more
leit them no alternative but manly resistance
or unconditional submission. The army un-
der my command has invaded your country,
and he standard of Union now waves over
the territory of Canada. To the peaceable,
unofiending inhabiian,, it brings neither dan.
ger nor difficulty ] come TO find enemies,
not to make them. l come TO protect not TO

Separated by an immense ocean and an cx-
tensivc wilderness from Great Britain, you
have no participation in her councils, no in
tcrest IN her conduct--you have felt her ty-
ranny, you have seen her injustice bu, do

BALTIMORE RIOTS.

MANI exaggerated accounts of the late unhappy
riot at Baltimore have been published in different
parts of the United States. The 6rst account pub
lished in this town was from the office of the New
port Mercury, on Saturday last, in which it was
stated that between 20 and SO persons had been
lnhumanly and wantonly massacred-next comes a.
mother handbill in which all the persons except one
or two, are brought to life. The publishers Of the
Mercury not the writers Of the infamous and
lying statements which were circulated in the er-
tracts from letters" written by nobody knsws vboy
and therefore not blameabe that account, but
it hoped and expected they will publish correct
statement in their paper, at least for the honor OF
country. We have copied the following from the
Baltimore Whg, Of the 2Sth July, and shall pub
ish such further particulars as shah come to hand
in an authentic shape.

Some of the Boston federal papers have
lately published an account current of loss
and gain by the war and exultipgly mention
the capture, by the British, OF the ship Mar
quis de Someruclos, from Civita Vecchia,
with cargo, worth Gas they say nearly
S 100000, which single capture is asserted
to be greater in amount lhsn the whole Of tho
prizes taken by our vessels. All this, with
many other mistatemcnts. are vamped up
With view TO FENDER the war unpopular, and
to eject base party purposes. The fsc.is.
the aboTe vessel was taken under the Orders
in Council, her cargo is said TO be worth "a
bout 8 so, o,o0O--and instead Of an argument
against the war, is, we think very .forci6te
argument in favor Of it, as she would have
been taken and condemned By the British il
war had not been declared against them.
We are happy TO announce the appointment Of
Capt. CHRIsToPHER X. PERRY, Of this town, as
superintendent of the Navy Yard at Charlestown,
Mass. vice Capt Bsinbridgc, appointed to the com
maad Of the frgate Constellation, reittng at Wash

The Republican citizens of Providence, convened
in the Court. House in that town. on the 9th ut for
the purpose of adopting for the suppor, Of
government in the prosecution Of the present war,
and for maintaining the Union of these States. The
Resolutions adopted this occasion, shall be pub
lished next week.

Resolutions of the Republican Convention holden al

will richly reward an attentive perusal.

tloned on the lakes, as at Sackett's harbor,

some considerable military or naval position.
1t would seem, Judging from general M
litary maXims,) that no point OF this wide
spread line woNld march upon Canada, with
view to permanent occupation, until
very part was ready. AS the British, "a;

can easily transport reintorcements 10 and |

employed. Perhaps, therefore, no serious
push Will be made on lower Canada until |
