TIE LAUNCH.

On Saturday, an attempt was made to
launch the u s. ship Independence, from the
navy yard in Charlestown. The ship mooved
on her ways II feet, and then stopped. AS
the tide was up and covered considerable
extent Of the ways, from full examination,
1t was deemed proper not TO make any efforts
to get her off, until more general survey
could be made on the tides leaving her. 1t
was then found that the only cause Of her stop
ing was the tallow no, adherng to the ways.
An effor. was yesterday made 10 force her o.
yer the bare ways by mechanical powers,
which did not succeed and the ways will
therefore be removed, and again tallowed--
after which the ship will no doubt glide into
her element, 60 which she has partly advanc.

tion, could it be done merely by expressing
the wish.
All persons who have seen her, and are

OF the wharf and ways perfeciy secure, and
that thd ship is admirably secured in her cra-
die. Preparations will be completed on Tues.

TOWN. MEETING.

On "Wednesday last town-mertipg was
held in this town to take into consideration our
exposed situation, and to adopt such measures
as might most tend to our safety. We were
sorry to observe that subject SO important
In its nature should have excited so little at
tention, as few persons attended the meeting.
Alter much talking, and the introduction Of
several resolutions and fragments OF rcsolu-
tions, the meeting was adjourned to the Sat-
urday following, when an animated debate en-
sued in which CHRISTOPHER G. CHAMPLAIN,
Esq. took an active and highly patriotic part.
AS the General Assembly are now in session,
we forbear making any comments until we
know the result Of their deliberations. A con-
siderable part of the shipping in this harbor
has gone up the river, out of the reach of the
enemy.

will be taken before tribunal whose politi-

Treason. We therefore caution fishermen
and all others to desist from such treasona.
