Perceivrng that our conduct as Directors of
the Farmers Bank of Virginia, has been ar
raigned by selfsconsttuted tribunal, COM
posed OF the President and Directors of each of
the Insurance Offices at this place, who have
proceeded ia condemn us without hearing
we owe it to ourselves 10 appeal to the more
candid and honorable bar OF our Fellow Citi,
zens at large. Not, however, with the most
distant view to our own defence against the de.
nunciations of selEcreated censors for we are
unconscious Of the slightest dereliction from
the path of duty marked out to US by law but
with the sole object OF sts,ing facts.
With degree OF indeiIcacy, approximating
to impudence, this upstart Divan las hurled at
US the chsrges of having outraged society, in.
jured the interests OF the Bank, and done MUS
tice to individuals and that too upon the mere
presuntetion, that we we're the means of remoy.

charges are founded in presumption, must

baton 0f the DiyaD, have forfeited their honor,

!gianee. Tins is no discovery of yesterday. 1t
Is a fact that has been repeatedly manifested to
our observation, by certain gentlemen of our
board. 1t would be Ianientaoie circumstance
indeed, it the interests" u the Farmers Bank
required an occasional act Of Ineanness IN any OF
its Directors. But WHY, let US ask, is the int

tiers Of falsehooj full in their front. That we
did vote for MYERS and LEE, We may now a.
VOW, as some of our colleagues have promu'ga-
ted the fact. But is there any one so wofuly
infatuated as to suppose, that we did so without
reasons BE it known that we have our rea-
sons, which we are ready to give when called
upon by authority to do SO but we shall csr-
tainly not divulgc them to any prsting cox
comb who may chooset to question the propriety
of our conduct.
The Legislature of this Commonwealth, in
chartering the Farmers Bank, gave to the Ex-
ecutive Council the power of appointing eight
Directors out Of the thirteen allotted to each
Branch. In making its appointments the exc
cutive have studied AS far as possible the in.
terest of the institution, and the convenience
ofthe public. 1t has generally appointed men
OF real and not fictitious capital, who will deal
out loans with inspdrfiaGty. without regard to
seT or JaDoyffes natives of the soil men at.
tached to the political Institutions of their coun.
try, and above all, men who do not want to Dor
row money for themselves. We were appoints
ed by the Executive we are all plain men ;
natlYe Americans put us all together and we
90 not owe. more to the Bank than one OF those
directors appointed by the stockholders. AS
we want no money for ourselves, so we have no
Jauorites, who without any capital or other pre-
tention can obtain our sanction to loans of
thousands. The minority in the direction know
TINS, aud they have sought many opportunities
TO shake US from our purpose. Hitherto they
have failed. We are resolved to do our duty,
and act independently. We have the interest
OF the stockholders Immediately at heart and
we are equally interested in the social and po,
iitical institutions Of our country We are well
aware OF the undue Influence of faction in
tins town over our monied institutions, & with.
out the salutary correction OF the Legislature,
1t would snnihilate every vestige of political in.
dependence ; tearing up by the roots the geni-
al growth OF Repuhl,canism, and overspreading
the land with The thorns and ,hi,tIe, Of Ariste-
cracy.
1t our language is harsh, and our insinuati-
ons hurtfui' we beseech those interested TO lay
It % the account of their own conduct. They
have made a rude and most unwarran able at
tack upon our feelings they have attempted to
destroy every vestige OF independence in the
administration Of the affairs of the Bank. and

The General Wellesley was an East In

twelve or thirteen transports destined for

You viii readily see the necessity of

you taat this morning appeared off our bar
fourteen sail of men of war, &c. I hired a
boat and went on board Spanish schooner
which was ashore on the breakers-the mis-

ashore, gentleman who was on board tho
schooner states, that Admiral Cockburn, in
the Dragon, commanded the expedition !:
and that he intends taking possession Of
Cumberland Island, and Mrs Miller's house
for an hospital. The ships are all at this
