case, surely the advocates OF II coulu
tell us simply and uniformly from
what it sprung-what it was tha,
set them to war; whereas we all
know, that at one time they aiieds'-
ed the orders in council, as their mo,

of nothing else, and now that these
are rescinded, they are obliged to
assign other reasons for the existing
hostilities which is a clear proof
that. they have no just motive iof
fighting whatever.
Equally unformded is their plea
Of moderation, for their supposea
disposition to put an end to hostill-
Ties on reasonable terms. as soon as
they had commenced. The Ameri-
cans have never made us any offer
of pacilication, which was not mo-
dest deci sion of ali the points at IS

really did concede that which they
had taught us to believe was their
greatest, if not their only grievance,

BRIG DISPATCH!

The public mind having been much
excited by the reeapture of the brig
Dispatch Of this town, we give tic
following particulars ofthe affair as
appeared in evidence, on examination
Of the parties before Judge Davis.
On Monday last. abont 1 o'clock,
the owners were informed by captain
Bancroft, WHO unexpectedly arrived,
that their brig Dispatch had been
captured near the Light House. by
two armed picaroons, one latteen
rugged, and without colors, of what
country he could not tell. lie stat.
ed that they put prize master and
one man on board, and after first
saying that they should send the brig
to Boston, ordered her TO he anchor
ed N Nantasket Roads, the wind ard
tide being directly against their go
ing out. Some Of the privateers-
men said they should send a boat TO
Salem to know if the brig should be
sent there. Captain d. observed
that if they were Americans he. was
surprized they did not send him to
Boston. as the wiad and tide were
both in favor, ,and The law was The
same there as in Salem. From
these suspicious circumstances, and
the strange rig Of one Of the vessels
captain b. told bis owners that no
was uncertain " hether they we're p'-
rates or Englishmeu, and that he
presumed their object was to go OK
with the brig as soon as the tiae
changedin their favor. Under these
impressions the owners endeayored

Connected with this summary, it may
be useful, however unpleasant, to take
a view Of the increase of the public debt,

We should think the policy Of en-.

not a sufficient ground for Selling

the Peninsula. it is inexcusabIe in

But if vessels which have been en-

portion of my life to the service of soci-

instructing youth, think may, without
the Just charge of delinquency, claim
for the balance of my days, remission
| Of those arduous labors, and the indnl-

scenes of rural residence. Nor Can in
Justice, While urging my own services,
omit the acknowledgment, thatin return
/ have derived from my fellowcltizens
the means of enhancing the gralhcai'on
.cf my projected retreat, and of render
ing rustic pursuits more amusing. Our
obligations have therefore been recipro-
cal and perhaps equal. & II also becomes
me in this place to acknowledge the
punctuality with which my employers
generally qpHhom solicitation, falill their
engagements to me.
An additional motive to my removal,
is the possession of a considerable land
ed property, which imperiously requires
my personal atte1tion for want of which
much Inconvenience and loss have been
already sustained, and the evil must IN
crease with delay.

lue which the citizens of Alexandria
place on separate Institution for the e.
ducation of their daughters, where they
can be taught with accuracy the princl-
pies of the English language and those
other literary branches which qualify a
young lady to enter into society with adj
vantage-I should feel great reluctance
at abandoning my present trust, if sup
posed my REIMBURSEMENT involved an un.
avoidable dissolution Of the establish
ment. But am happy to have it in my
power to state, that gentleman well
qualified, in my Judgment, for the nn-
dertaking, can be procured TO continue
the Seminary, if adequate encourage
ment be offered. A nesting therefore
of those who are interested, or dcslrous
of perpetuating the Institution, is re-
Quested at my School Room on Monday
evening next, at 6 o'clock, when testi-
