Our inhabitants are in great state of

miles within the Capes. On Monday
frigate anchored along side. Last night
at IL o'clock, two of the Cape May pilo.
boats were driven into Maurice river. &
captured by one of the enemy's tenders.
They took two sloops out of the river,
loaded with wood. This morning they
captured a schooner.
On Tuesday small schooner, having
a large launch towing astern, was seen
in the cove TO the eastward of Egg Isl.
and. She took sloop loaded with
wood just out of West Greek. Another
sloop came out of Dennis's Greek at day
light, two miles ahead of the enemy,
and escaped. The captain of this sloop
reports, that he saw three large ships,
apparently 74's, near the buoy OF the
Fourteen feet Bank.

PEACE.MAKER-No. VII.

IL
An enquiry will now be made into the
doctrines of allegiance and natural'za-
ton, as it now exists in England and in
the United States.
Under the constitution and statutes OF
Great-Britsin, the natural allegiance OF
her natural born subjects has at all times
been deemed the same, and has con-
formed to the lew of nations on the same
subject. In that country natural allie
glance is a duty universal, perpetual
and unaIenable, except with the con-
sent of parliament. The royal power
is incompetent to dissolve the tie OF
natural born subject TO his country, nor
is the royal power capable OF naturaliz-
ing a foreigner; but it is work to DO
performed only by the means OF the ie-
eisla,ure. The effect of naturalization
there must be determined according to
those fundamental principles Ct society
which have been cited and explained in
the preceding observations. They are
no more to be impaired, weakened or
set aside by the British than by The Anne
rican or any other nation: and 1t shall
be xhewn that the principles OF the Br'-
fish doctrine, which seem to be lncon.
sistent from the manner OF expression,
are reccDciled with each other only by-a
reference to the distinction b..ween the
duty of allegiance to the native and to
the adopted country, in cases OF COLL
sion, as already shewn to be founded on
the laws of society and the equal rights
of sovereign powers.
1t will be proper here TO Introduce
few quotations from some English writ
ers of the highest authority, on this I'M
portant point
Natural allegiance is such as is due
from all men born within the kings
. dominions immediately upon their
. birth: for Immediately on their birth
" they are under the kings protection
at time when during their infancy
6 they arc incapable ofprctecting them
selves. Natural allegiance IS there
" fore debt Of gratitude, which cannot
&c be forfeited, cancelled or altered by
apv change Of time, place or circum-
&c stance, nor by any thing but the unit
" ed concurrence of the legislature.
i. An Englishman who removes 10
6 France or TO China, owes the same
allie g;ance to the king of England,
there. as at home, and twenty years
&c hence as we'll as now. For it is a
/" nrinciple Of universal iazu, thet fhe ma
:. furol born subject Of one fr'nee cannot

The Sd, directs the Secretary o,
War to cause the arms, &c. to be
transmitted to the Executives of the
several states for distribution.
The 4th, max es it penal to trans
port such arms out Of the U. 8.
The 5th, directs the Collectors Of
the Customs to require an oath from
the master or commander of every
vessel bound to foreign port or
place, that no such arms are on
board, and to refuse a clearance
without such oath.
The 9Th, 9TH and Sth, classes the
militia-those from Is to Fl years
ofage to be called the minor class,
which shall not be called out of the
state or territory to which they be-
long. and shall not be compelled to
do duty for more than three months
at one time-from 81 to 81 years,
the junior class, shall not be COM
PEELED 10 serve more than 9 months
at any one time-from 81 to 10 years,
the senior class, may be called to do
duty in an adjoining state or terrific
~, but shall not be compelled to
serve more than 6 months at any
one time.
The 9th, points out the form of
making the returas aud the mode of
enrolment.
The 10th, desigDates the manner
of calling out the several classes.
provides that no man shall be COM
PEELED to do duty a second time, till
all his class have served one tour
and provides also, that each militia
man, so called into actual service,
may furnish an able bodied man as
his substitute.
Mr.. Burwell moved to strike out
the following proyiso in the 10th Sec
ton" provided that each militia
man so called into actual service,
may furnish an able bodied man as
a substitute"
Efr. Williams opposed this mo-
ton, he thought if it should pre-
vail the bill would be lost.
Mr.. Burwell advocated his molten
on the ground that every man should
he compelled to render bis personal
services to the country when called
on. The motion was negatived.
Mr.. Wright and Mr.. Williams
spoke in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Talmadge after giving his
reasons against the bill, moved to
strike ont the 1st section.
Mr. Talmadge's motion was re-
ieeted, and the committee rose and
reported the bill, and the House adj
journed.
