The enemy have made their appe aGance nc
Hog Island. and on yesterday proceeded up the
river and compelled some small vessels to seek
security by flight. At one time their move
ments indicated an intention to come some dis
lance above the island, but finally, after coming
to Swans point, they dropped down again and
anchored below the bend of the island-If they
should have the rashness TO attempt an inroad
into the interior, We trust that we shall give
them a red hot reception.

The above furnishes the real clue to the
british policy in provoking and continuing
the war. IL IS true thar ministry might
have been content to have kept a nominal
peace with US, provided Mey syerr aNoyrd
10 fr1nftc ss our evcrp right and thus 10
crush" all our 5est interests in detau.
But her refusal Of redress, for the most oh
vious wrongs. her employment Of emissa
ries 10 distract our country, her open ty-
ranny in selling our seafaripg citi.ens; all
these are to be tracedto her wish to crush
this power. The gvar was the only measure
to obviate the intended destruction, SO inso.
lently avowed, by her ministerial writer a.
bove. When her acts, and the avowal of
her intentions are so perfectly in unison, and
when that intention is so fatal to our very
existence as a nation. what ere we to say
to the men among us, who hypocritically lie
nv her views, and palliate her abuses, Are
they not aiming to aid IN crushing this coun.
try 1t is impossible they should all be b ind
10 the policy of the British court, morees
peciallr as it is so impudently Wanted.
When the enemy takes ground, which
leaves no doubt, that our national destruction
IS his view there can be bur one paramount
obJect-and that is national preservation
ana out one course To attain IL, and that is
energetic patriotism. The times are perilous
only if we are faithless to ourselves. We
| have enemies within, as deadly and more
dangerous than those who man the fleets &
compose the armies of England. These re-
quire vigilant attention. Let the spirit of
the citizens, as well as the Councils of the
government, rise 10 the tone Of the times
The future welfare of our country is at
stake. Onr republican institutions, our fe.
derative union, our rights as a nation, our
| character as people, our duty to those
who achieved and those who bequeathed us
| our liberties. are all concerned in our deci-
| sion andenergy a: this crisis. The enemy
is contcnding for mighty object. He has
| friends among US. who are ardent In his Is
sistance. The friends of independence
| have numerous and inperious duties to per-
form. They will discharge them.

We are informed that detachment Of

OF general Harrison, marched from the Ra :
