We have numerous reports and hearSays
rom Passport, which we give as we get them.
One runor is, that Immediately after the
news Of war reached that place: large body
of Americans organized and embodied on ar
expedition against St. Andrews, and took pos
session of and brought to Eastport large a.
mount of English goods, said TO be owned by
citizens OF this State, and deposited there to
be al hand in the event of the repeal of the
non importation law. Immediately after this
SAYS another rumor, British expedition cross
ed the river, surprizcd Eastport and carried
off the flour, corn, &c. stored there. No lives
nor limbs were lost
Having thus given the rumors of the day
we will now give what are facts A pilot
boat arrived here yesterday from Eastport
which she left on Sunday night last, and !
probably the latest from that quarter, A pas
senger In her assures us the above rumors
were mere hoare8 that immediately ate:
the news OF wal was received, atown-meetlna
was held at Eastport, at which it was voted tc
keep themselves armed, but not to engage il.
hostilities until further orders or advices and
that the inhabitants particularly the females
and children) we're quitting the place. The
had also learnt CDdl similar ndu OCGi
adopted at ST. Andrews. Some English goods
which were at ST Andrews, we believe, have
been brought away in the most peaceable man
ner, and the correctness of the procedure has
been certified by the collector at Eastport.-
There had been an assemblage of the Penob-
scot and other Indians at Point Pleasant,
(Quoddy) but to what end was not known
A gentleman from Portsmouth informs us.
that considerable number of the inhabitants
of Eastport were landed there Yesterday
When the news Of war reached St Andrews
there were 20 sail of vessels near there, which
Immediately fed to ST.. Johns and Halifax. =
There was also three masted armed schoon-
er and another armed vessel at St. Johns.

In the House of Representatives OF the u.
States on the 25th of June, when the bills tor
LAYING Taxes were reported by Mr.. Bacon, on
the motions for hosthonlng and printing them,
some debate took place. The following is the
substance Of some Of the observations on the
subject
/" .4g.iast fosthoning the zvar tares 1t was
urged that the Secretary Of the Ireayury Ead
declared them Indispensable; and that puohc
credit would suffer shock from the delay -
IA ,tupor Of fosth0ning it was stated, that a.
these taxes would certainly be lad IN ~Fope"'-
6et next, it would make no great difference
10 the treasury il they were levied DOW, e.
postponed four or five tnonths and as tor th'
peopie, the advocates of the taxes were very
confident they would bear their burdens cheer
fully.
IS In opposition to printing the bills, 1t was
urged, that they might alarm the pcopie-'hat
they would create an undue Influence lii the
canvas for the choice Of electors, as II even
the bills were printed many people would be-
lieve they were ia7VS, and vote accordingly.
On the other hand it was asked, II the people,
as is pretended, are so hot for 7var, and OF
course zvqr tares, why withheld information
from them? Why delay to CRAFTY their dc,
sires The bills were highly important, and
highly interesting to the people, who Will be
called upon to pay the Taxes-why then not
make them acquainted with the details =
Those whose wished the printing, concluded
by remarAing, that if the advocates Of war and
taxes were nov so afraid to permit the people
to see the mere SHADOWS of the burdens they
were to be called upon to bear; they had
much TO apprehend when that people began
to feel the length and bl eadth and weight OF
the SUBSTANCES itself.

of vessels that had been invited to France by
proclamation, had been seized and condemned,
That those who we've permitted to land their
cargoes, we're not only obliged to pay the most
exorbitont duties, but to receive two thirds OF
the arnount in silks. That our seamen had not
only been taken and carried to France, but
pinioned and marched through the country
like convicts to dungeons, where many are
now living on a scanty allowance Of bread and
water That the French government bad de-
clared to our minister that we were g with
out honor or energy and had no more free

In the 46th No of the FederaHst," well
known to be written by Mr.. Madison, and ac-
knowledged by his friends, to be one of the
ablest numbers in that admirable series of pa

have an important bearing on the present stu
alton of our country. They should be read
and pondered on by people who have been
plunged into difficulties by their own govern

who are now called upon to defend It's mea-

necessary for that defence-Eoston Reh.
