'~~~~~f~~SS, VIC ui6ht Will CooS ouo SCa-
tainsy have put our Sovereign in possession OF
Hanover; and the Ministers OF the Prince
Regent might surely have thought 1t not be-
meath their care to render suchA service to
the family of their Sovereign. The time is
critical. A Continental Peace is probably on
the eve Of being established--

FROM THE MONTREAL herald, OF IULy 3.
For want of room we could not insert the
renonstrance of the Legislature of Msssa-
chusetts against the war with Britain. We
shall try to prove that their remonstrances
have been brt empty clustering, adopting no
hnAl or determined system successfully to ac-
complish the pretended claims and redress OF
grievances so loudly voeifersted. When
municipal or an established public law Is vio-
lated, il becomes the duty of the Legislature
70 interfere and if remonstrances have not
the effect Of remedy, recourse 20 arms is the
hcxt and last alternative. If our memory is
not treacherous, we think that Mr.. QUINCY
end some other Senators did threaten an an
neal to arms sone years ago /; but remon-
stranccs continue, AND PROMISES ARE uN-
FULFILLED How dcgenerated the spirit OF
,v5-6 2rt~, that svas an Gfrocious sfirif.
The tea tax was like whale after it has
came the monstrous kraken Of the keep,which
has silenced every thing but vain loqusciy.
PROM The SAME.
CAPTURE Of the Cnesafeoke.--Thisa achieve
ment has a, last been communica ed by the
HALIFAX journals and if those papers had
exulted less on the occasion, they would have
paid Captain Brooke greater compliment.
The people OF Boston have exposed their
weakness in two-iold dcgree-,6rsf, by their
revel rom, naral dinner aId secondly, by
putting their vessels into mourning, for loss
that the Emperor Of Morocco would think
nothing at all about Their flags were all
lowered to half-mast in tho harbor there was
no national honor lost in the capture of their
friSatc Capt. Lawrence, his officers and
crew, bchsved 40 became brave men. But
the naval dinners and the naval mourning in
Boston, reflect in a sallow hue the picture Of
Massachusetts patriotism.-We sympathize
with the mothers, wives, daughters and sis
tcrs-but by no means with the Legislatures
of the w.England States
rRoM THE BOSTON PATRIOT.
II Federal Banie.--On Monday last, the
brig Despatch, owned by Cornelias Coolidge
and Francis J. Oliver, Of this town, from Ca
diz, licensed vessel, was captured without
the Light.House, by the priva;cer Castigstor
Of Salem. As soon az news OF her capture
reached town, two boats, without authority,
were fitted out by Coolidge and Oliver, with
about twenty-five armed nan in each, with
the avowed intention of re-capturing the brig.
The boats proceeded down and met the brig
coming up under easy sail. When the pri-
vateersmea saw the boats making for the
brig they went on board and supplied the
prize master and crew with ammunition.
The privateer then laying close by the brig
hailed tho boats several times, and ordered
them to keep off-.-thc people oil board made
no answcr.--The privateer then fired at the
boats it being not returned she desistcd---
the boats run close alongside the brig, when
the crew on board of her commenced fire
on the boats, which was promptly returned
The boats then boarded, and took possession
of the brig. Immediately after the contest,
the brig and the privateer were brought too
by the Commandant Of Fort independence,
were they were both detained till yesterday
afternoon. when the brig was delivered up 10
the Collector of this port, and the privateer
permitted 10 proceed on her cruize.
No injury was done By the exchange of
shots.
1t is worthy Of remark, that the owners of
the Despatch and the Castigator are oil deci-
ded /" "FEDERALISz'S Of the true Boston
sfamh." On no occasion have We seen the
Federalists in more tremendous rage, while
the Republicans, Who always wish fos the
reign of Law and Order, look on and smile
at the angry Feds, who had the shooting match
exclusively to themselves.
ARREST, &c.
Yesterday afternoon, Cornelious Coolidge
and Francis ]. Oliver were arrested end ex-
smined before His Honor Judge Davis, Uni
ted States Judge for Massachusetts District,
touching their attack and seizure Of tho brig
Despatch, and taking her from the ptise-
v,aas,ne nus nm hoard of her bv the Drivateer
