DIV would De haQ, MISUNDERSTANDING tho
obstacles interposed by our prohibltory
regulations. What they may absolute
|ly require Of us, will be furnished indi-
rectly, whatsoever our laws forbid a d.
rect intercourse. a free port, it APP
pears, has been lately opened by the
British government, on our very bor-
ders; shelving clearly the facility of
drawing such supplies, as they may deem
it, at any time expedientto procure from
US.
The General Assembly repeat, that
they do not pretend, on this occasion, to
enter into any detail of argument, or
facts, either to show the utter futility OF
these acts of Congress, as regards the
policy of the British government, or
their pernicious influence on the sub
stantial resources of no inconsiderable
portion Of the states of the Union.
Without the remotest prospect OF indu-
cling England to relax her colonial sys-
tenn, it does not appear. that they are
likely to achieve for the u. States, any
great point of public policy. The ex-
pertinent has had fair, and it may be
added decisive trial. 1t may be at
tended with some profit to the shipping
interest; but great OF small, 1t Is obtain
ed at price too heavy, since it imposes
most burthensome tax on other inter
ests, certainly not less important and
presenting at least an equal claim to the
fostering patronage of the legislative
councils.
The General Assembly cannot, for q
moment, believe, that their desire to
relieve the people Of Virginia, of the
pressure of these acts of Congress, will
be misirterpreted into any want of SEN
sibility to the navigating interest of tho
country. Our ships and ssamcn are en-
inently entitled to the most liberal atten
ton of the government: yet it is not con-
ceiyed Just, that agriculture, and other
prominent interests should be taxed,
without Limitation or degree for their
benefit. On all questions involving the
rights and honor of the nation-the good
people of this commonwealth have ne
YER declined their full measure OF the
perls and cost Of maintaining them.
They have ever felt, and continue to
feel the most sincere affection for their
brethren of the other states, and the
truest anxiety for establishing and per-
petuating the Union of all. But in con-
tributing to promote ithe interests OF
other states, a sacrifice of their own VI
tai interests, is more than can fairly be
required of them
/. RESOLVED therefore, That the above
rscited acts of Congress +, by which Brit
ish vessels are prohibited from bring
ing the productions of the British colo
MES into our ports, and taking away
those of our country in return, operate
most unequally upon different portions
of the Union, and to the serious injury
of Virginia, and the neighboring States.
2. Resolved, That the Senator'S from
this state, in the Congress ofthe United
States be instructed, and the Represen-
tatives requested to use their votes. and
best efforts to procure repeal OF the
said acts of Congress.
5 RESOLVED, That the governor be re-
ouested 10 transmit copies of the fore
going preambles and resolutions, to each
of our Senator'S and Representatives In
Congress.

THE BATTLE OF TRENTON.
BIZ the author oftke "FrOntier Maid."
Mild was the night and roaring wide
Roll'd out Delaware's stormy tide,
The drifting ice from side to side
Driving and crashing rsstlessly.
Then, through the wint'ry tempest's moan,
Flourished the swelling trumpet tone,
Their little barks, the host unknown
Are launching forth impetuously.
Oft DER the flood was heard the roar,
As thro' the drift some barges bsre
With changing axe and crashing oar,
Bursting their way resistlessly.
For high the Chieftain's signal bright,
Blazes ahead, and who to night
Would tanely lag behind that light a
That leads to Death or Victory. "
o, what's this lonely martial power,
That in this wild unwonted hour,
While darkness and while tempests lover,
Puts forth so stern and fearlessly
IT'S Libertrs last hope below,
To strike the bravest mightiest blow
That eser was struck for Victory.
This awful hour the die IS cast,
For Trenton they are toiling fast,
Where every heart must bleed its last,
Or save expiring Liberty
Loud was the storm DER all the land,
But cold it swept the darksome strand,
Where, struggling from their barks, the ban
Mustered in dread serenity.
Then rose a shoutl-who would not die,
To mix with hearts so bold and high?
For &C BATTLE" Battle" was the CRY
That thunder'd loud and cheerfully.
1.On!'' was the word and grim and dread,
While all is silent as the dead,
Save the quick march's hurried tread,
The host is rushing rapidly.
What do Won glmmsring watch-fires tell:
What distant sounds so family swell?
What lonely voices crv CALLS well,'s
Amid the nights '0lempig'
Huxzal .tis Trenton!-Mark. that cry
That shrek of death'-The picketts die
A foeman's trump is peahng high
His drums are rolling furiously.
eOn On! we conquer sr we die,''--
Was Hasaington's resOanding cry,
And glorious was the glad reply,
Theshout of ''Death or Victory"
o, CHARGE Charge on'-The strife is o'er,
Swell, swell that bSrst ofjoy once more
Shout it to every sea and shore,
The morning song of Liberty.
Millions. Smid tvrannvFs alarms,
Shall start to hear that musicss charms,
And shouting thousands shine in arms,
To rival Trentonss Chivalry
