and James l.. Harron Capt. Williams be-
ing chosen chairman, and John Buckley, one

following resolutions were unanimously "a
do2,ed =
WHEREAS, it is deemed necessary that
our fellow citizens should be informed Of the
late perfidious and brutal acts of the British
government performed by their officers, at
the battle OF Frenchtown.
Resolved, That the following statement
OF the conduct nf the British officers be ex-
hibited TO our Countrymen:
When Gen. Winchester was taken pri-
soner on the 22d Jan. 1878. being brought
before col. Proctor, the British commander,
he directed the commanding officer of the
Americans (major Madison) to surrender,
major Madison refused 50 to do, unless
| those s,to surrendered should be free from
savage massacre this was agreed to-
The British officers pledged themselves to
| protect the wounded, and to convey them
! to Maiden the next morning. The arms OF
the officers which were surrendered, were
promised to be returned to them at NAL
| den.
Capt. Hart. Inspector to the n. w. army
was among the wounded /; his friends offer
ed 10 carry him with them, but they were
prevented from doing so by the interference
of Capt. Elliot, British officer and an old
acquaintance of capt. Harris. who promised
nm Special protection, to take him in his
own sleigh to Malden-where he insisted
.aa, mi L.. l.
should recovcr.-These were the promises
of the Britisl-let our countrymen see how
they w,rs fulfilled.
| At the break of day next morning, the sa-
wages were suffered to commit every depra-
dalton upon our wounded which they pleas
ed. An indiscriminate slaughter of the
wounded unable TO walk took place many
were tomahawked. and many were burned
alive in the houses Among these unfortu
mates who were thus murdered, it is with
| regret & sorrow we have to name the gal
| liant and brave officers captains Hart and
| Hickman:
The arms of the officers were never re-
turned, aud every species of private pro
perry remaining in the tents belonging &C
| both officers and soldiers was plundercd by
the savages
| Resolved, That in consideration of the
nigh respect we hold both officers and sol.
dierS who were thus cruelty murdered by
permission OF the British commander col
Proctor and his subalterans and of those
who gloriousy fell in the field defending the
| only tree government on earth, that each Of
us wear Grape on our hat and left arm for 90
days
Resolved, That similar proceeding tes
Trying their respect for the memories OF
those who were murdered and slain be re-
commended to our brother officers and sol
dIers who survived the action

WASHINGTON, Marco s.

y.
Yesterday being the day on which com
menced the second term of Mr. Madison's
re- election to the Presidency, he took the
oath to support the constitution of the Uni
Tea otates, administered to HIM, by Chief
justice Marshall, in the presence of many
Members OF Congress, the Judges of the SUI
Preme Court, tbs Foreign Minister'S, and a
great concourse of Ladies and Gentlemen.
The President was escorted to the CapitoI
by The Cavalry of the district, and received
on ms approach TO the Capitol by the sevc-
raj Volunteer Corps of this city, George
town, and Alexandria, drawn up in line for
tns purpose. The day was fine the sun
shenc brilliantly, as if to welcome it; the
appearance OF the military, the Marine
SorpS and Volunteers, was unusually ami
mating. No accident occurred to mar the
ceremonies OF ~ day. The scene was re-
any brilliant; at the same time it was so.

most injurious and approbrious terms which
the language common to the two nations
can afford-it is not strange they should
follow 1t. Although the stipendaries of the

permitted to measure their swords and BAY
onets with the enemy, they have proved
themselves worthy descendants Of the con-
querors of Saratoga, Trenton, and Mon
mouth As in the former war of indenen-
dence, so in the present--on one side has
been exhibited valor, humanity and magma

ordered the execution of the provisions of
the act of non intercourse, which prohibits
the vessels and merchandise of Grea, Bri

riskng postponement of negotiation

From the circumstances which have pre-.

There may indeed be an intention of coup

In the note l had the honor to address
your excellency on the 10th November last.
the spirit of the English government was so
far noticed as TO anticipate the fact now pro-
we'd by experience, that its orders in coun-
Gil violating the rights ofsneutrals, would not
be revoked The declaration of the Prince
Regent of the 2lst Of April, has placed that
tact beyond all question. In doing this he
has repeated the assertion so often adyan-
ced by, his ministers and judges that the de-
crees OF France of a similar character are
likewise unrevoked.
You will notice that he finds a new areu-
ment for this conclusion in your excellency's
late report to the Emperor concerning neu-
trail rights, in which you avoid taking notice
Of any repeal or modification Of these dc.
crees, or Of their non-application to the u I.
States. We know indeed that they do not
apply to the United States, because we do
not suffer our flag to BE denationalized in
the manner evidently contemplated by the
Emperor m the rule he meant to establish
But 1t would have been well if your Ecel-
lcncy had noticed their non-application to
the United States, since his MAJESTY has mi
formly done it in his decisions Of prize eau

government would now make and publish

tsat they have not been applied in any in
