Attack on Vessels liz Port!

Extract Of letter from Mddletown, Conn. 9th inst.
to gentleman IN this town
" Six British barges containing 500 men,
entered the port Of Peuipsguc yesterday
morning, about 4 o'clock, and burnt about "a
sail of vessels Many Of them were worth
from $ to 90 900 dollars each. They did
thcig business effectually, for the vessels arc
all burnt to the waters cdgc.-They gave out
word To the inhabitants that if they made the
least RESISTANCE, they would fire the town in
consequence, they zoere NOT OPPOSED.
"The property destroyed was owned in
New-York, Middlctown, Hartford aud Petit
pague.-A fine cutter brig they attempted to
get out, but failed, and she shared the fate Of
the others. She was from 8 to 400 tons, and
was worth about $4,000 dls."-T The British
force is stated, by gcntlcmen from near the
scene Of artion, TO have been about so, which
is probably as great number as 6 boats
could carry. 1t is added that the enemy =.
manned on shore all day, unmolestcd, nd
went OF abou, 9 IN the evening. They .ame
from frigate aud gun-brig lying off Sey-
brook.
A gentle man who arrived in town last even
ing, and who passed through Seybrook on
Saturday last, understood that % sail were
destroyed, including ship and brig on the
stocks, belonging to Mr.. Pratt, Of Pc,tipagae
That the enemy, Gin oumber about 1907
took possession Of store, where they re-
rnaioed all day part Of the time amusing them
selves--an6 that at night about 1000 men had
been collected, who fortified both sides of
the river, just above the Ferry, intending to
su-prize the enemy as they returned, but that
the British, having waited until il was dark,
passed unobscrved, by muffiing their oars, or
laying concealed in their boats, and letting
them float down with the ,ide.--A number OF
small vessels, which were in the rear Of the
enemy, were not molested. frigate lay
off Seybrook on Saturday, bu, the brig had
returned to the squadron.

u Thursday last. The prolongaiion of The
double duties is no! incloded iu the re post, the
CON mlt,ee appearing TO deem that subject no,

features al the message. Accompanying these
bills was written report, stating in . torcible,
but too concise manner, the reasons which
Influenced the committee 10 report tnein,
which, as we'll as the bills. will be found in the
report ol Congressional Proceedings.
The house of representatives yesterday de-
iermincd in favor of appointing committee
TO report a bill to establish national Bsnk
So many bills have heretofore been re ported
and are on the flies Of the house, in respect TO
this project, that VIC apprehend but liitle diff

subject. SO that the committee may be ex-
pected to report in day or .wo.
IL is now more than probable that Congress
will not adjourn before the latter end of The
month, perhaps not before the lst of May.--i6.
APRIL 6.--Nothing was done by either
house OF Congress yesterday in relation TO the
Presidcnts recomm snistion of qualified re.
peal Of the EmbaIgo. There was some Incl
deelsl discussion in The house on the subject
Of the double duties from which we gather
the inference that there is disposition in that
body TO foster the manufacturing interests by
continuation Of those duties, or by a substi-
tuition therefor of specific duties which sh all
have more decided bearing in favor of manu-.
fAc,ures than the present system hss.--ib.

CEORGL. SAvANNAH, MARCH 90.
Two soldiers arrived in This city last night
from Poin, Petre, near ST. Mary's, who state,
that on Monday evening last CHE day they
left the Poius) that mucn confusion had taken
place in consequence Of apprehending an At
tack from the British tha, one OF the gun
boats had come IN from sea, wnicn had cap
turcd two vessels under Swedish colors, and
reported there was frigate and Two sloops OF
war of the enemy at anchor off ST. Mary's
bar. The captains of the captured vessels
state that they were boarded by the frigatc,
the day before they fell 10 with the gun-5ost
and after examining their papers suffered
them to proceed on their way to Amelia,
where they were bound. We understand,
since writing the above, that official ntorma-
ton has been received in town much the sub
stance Of the above. We understand that
Maj. Gen. Pintkney will take command Of
the army destined against the hostile Indians.
The force consists of 24oo militia from N.

Warren has bled in vain.
True, indeed, there is one class of rsszn in this
country, which so far as they could be affected
by this proposal of the secretary of war, could
claim the same bene6cent exemption as the CO.

sable sons of Africa, They were to be exempted,
and free born Americans were only destined to be
slaves
This is no idle dream of fancy. Negroes were
to be exempted from military draft. They

say, the constitution Of the United States was
made for us-while yod are drawn into the ranks
OF your administration, we can remain quietly at
home in the full enjoyment of your constitutional
rights, so far as the present question is concern
ed. We have still some shew of constitutional
hberty-we have at least the priveledge of dying
at home, and these blessing we enjoy, because
your administration have never taken under
their protection. AS we are familiar TO servitude
they did not attempt to shew that they were war
ranted by your constitution in dragging us from
our homes into Canada. We escaped the notice
of the government, and our constitutional rights
have beeh secured from violation BY their bene-
hcent neglect. May we not then apply to our adj
ministration the words of holy writ" Darkness

Behind the hills descends the sun,
The work of death is but begun,
Andred through twilght's shadows dun,
Blazes the vollied mIsqretry
!" Charge, Miller, charge the foe once more"
And louder than Niagara's roar,
Along the line is heard, encore
son, on to death or victory
From line to line, with lurid glow,
High arching shoots the rockets bow,
And Lights the mingled scene below
OF carnage, death or victory.
The middle watch. has now begun,
The horrid battle fray is done,
Nor Logger beats the furious drum
To death, to death or victory
All all is stil-with silent tread,
The Waterman steals among the dead,
To guard has comrades lowly bed
Till morning give him sepu!,nre.
Low in the west, of splendor shorn,
The midnight moon with bloody horn,
Sheds her last beam on him forlorn
Who fell in fight so gloriously
Oh! long her crescent wax and wane
Ere she behold such fray again,
Such dismal night, such heaps Of slain,
Foe mixd with foe promiscuousiy.

DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.

Another instance Of the savage pra ctioe
of duelling has lately occurred at Norfolk,
which has had a most fatal result Mr.. DA-
Wis, midshipman, and Doctor GREGORY,
both of the U. S. frigate Constellation, had
tritling dispute, which produced a chal'
lenge. The parties, with their seconds,
proceeded TO the state of North Carolina,
distance of about 80 miles from Norfolk.
The first shot was exchanged without inju-
ry, but the second in both instances too k
effect. Mr. Davis received ball through
his body and expired on the spot. Doctor
Gregory was wounded in the upper part of
his head; he lived until removed to Nor
folk where he expired short time after
his arrival. Both these misguided and un-
fortunate young men, il is said, were much
esteemed.
