OPINION OF THE PARTY ON THE NEW
s. SPECIE CIRCULAR.

We invite the attention of all parties to the
following opinion of Mr.. Van Buren's conf
dental organ at New York, the Ne,c Era, on
the Interpretation Of the late instructions is
sued by the Secretary of the Treasury upon
the repeal Of the old "Specie Circular" The
public will see that this new "Ireasury Order
is more generally restrictive than a,ly measure
Of General Jackson's Observation-Disclosures the
New Era has affirmed below. This same ar
ticle has also been "adopted and endorsed"
by the New York Evening Post, the organ of
the Loco Focos. There can be no question,
therefore, that this new Specie Circular is in
tended to annul the laws, and revive the old
Specie Circular, in still more tyranical and
odious form.
From the Nep York Era
"Thc Presiden, accedes TO the repeal of the old
circular, according TO the resolution of Mr. Web
ster; and then TO show how completely he is defeated
with the same pen he instantly signs rev specie
circular not relating TO the state OF the public lands
alone but the order is directed TO the collectors and
receivers of the public moneys generally, and in
cludes all dues to the government Of every descrip-
ton. .t'
"We have extracted from the National In,elli-
gencer and give below the particular provisions of
the new circular, to which we refer. In it our read
ers will find that no specie notes, as Mr.. Webster
facetouSy calls them can be received Of less de-
nomination than twenty dollars or the note Of any
bank that has within the last two years issued any
bill of less denomination than five dollars; and that
note of any bank whatever shall be received, that
is not payable on demand in specie at the place
where issued that is not worth specie at the place
where il is offered. And this Treasury order, which
is more generally restrictive than any measure Of
Gen. Jacksons administration is thrust under the
noses of the victorious Wings, while their mouths
are yet stretched in shouting victory and is mpu-
IDENTIFY and we must say ndecently published on the

stating that now, since his penitentary notes, his
post notes, and his branch bank notes will not be

Out OF the aggregate arrivals NJ TINS pun ioi o'0
of the most extraordinary periods of two days that
ever took place in New York, the Herald exhibits
list more accurate and full than any other, ana
FOUR ARRIVALS besides, in advance Of every
other paper II this singular and extraordinary fact
does not establish the immeasurable superiority or
panization and activity of our Ship News Depart
ment, there is no faith in facts.
On Friday last as readers will remember, we
beat the Courier and all others, SIX VESSELS, and
on Saturday and Sunday, an additional FoURVES-
Sells, thus making, in three days, beat OF TEN
VESSELS over and beyond the like number OF ar
rivals in all these papers and prints
Such are the simple and inconrovertlble facts,
which we place before this great and enlightened
community of merchants; and we challenge the
sctes scrutiny into the accuracy OF our statements
or the truth of our averments. For a long time IL
has been the fashion among the Wall street prints,
and their credulous dupes among the merchants, to
turn up their mpudent noses at the organization
system capacity, power, influence, and circulation
of the Herald. Certain cIi9ues OF men have dsne
their utmost to traduee character invaidate our
statements, and throw suspicion on our motives
The MET OF persecution and fsly is rapidly dsap-
pearng before the Of truth and the daybreak OF
talent The deep and earnest attention OF the mer-
camille community of New Y ork has been fastened,
for some time, on the mysterious and overwhem-
ing course OF the Herald. II is now a fact, gene
rally admitted among all liberal and uapreJudiccd
men that more truth every subject Is told in
the Herald in one day than in the Wall street prints
in a month. We maintain bold, fearless, indepen
dent position. On every public topic, we give the
facts and reasonlngson both sides. All other papers
are the organs Of cques or coteries of politicians
fnanclers-and therefore, disseminate only one side
and that generally the worst side of every subject
Not so with us. We tell the truh-the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth, and leave the consequen-
| ces 10 an enlightened pesple.
Such being the progress, organisation, capacity,
mower, and circulation of the Herald, as conducted
on the new system Of business It is very natural that
all the commercial and general advertising business
should gradually converge itself in its columns IN
preference to any other paper The same advertise
ment, for the same price is disseminated &c" times
as much in the Herald as in any other pnnt " the
city Society is finding on, this fact And win the
first days Of spring, and the revival OF business our
advertisements are already beginning 10 swell to al
| extent commensurate with our dimensions.

up by the British. The crews from all
those ships were turned over to the land
service, and were stationed on the Fort on
Wonomytonomy Hill. The Flora of 30
guns was sunk in the inner harbor of New
port, and the Grand Turk, Transport, an
armed ship of 100 tons, was set on fire a,
her mooring off the Point-and when her
cables burnt off she drifted TO the Northwest
corner of Dennis wharf all in flames, where
her wreck still lies. That part of The town
was in the most iminent danger, but was
fortunately preserved by the timely and ac-
tive exertions of the firemen with their en-
gines.
Fifteen large Transport Ships were scut-
lied and sunk in range from Brenton's
Point, now Fort Adams, to the Gull Rocks,
With their masts Gu, of few feet above
water, to prevent the French fleet from COM
ing near Fort George, (now Fort Wolco,t.)
The Falcon sloop of war of lS guns and
and about 80 unarmed vessels of various si-
yes, were sunk in the inner harbor, which
were afterwards got up by the British. The
Flora remained sunk until after the army
evacuated, when she was got up by the
Americans.
Every precaution was taken by General
Pigot to put the Garrison in the best state
of defence that circumstances allowed.
The goods belonging to the Commssary
Department were removed from the stores,
on the wharves, and placed in Brindley's
Rope walk on the Hill.
The British evacuated tile Island of CO.
nanicut, and withdrew their troops from the
North end of r. Island, filling up the wells
as they retreated, and bringing all the live
stock into Newport, except one COW to a
family.
The army retired within their lines and
redouhts, which extended from Coasters
Harbor Island across to Wonomytonomy
Hill, and Eastward to the head of Easton's,
or Blss's Pond. This line was strongly
fortified the whole way.
They had another line which run from
where Fort Greene now is, on the West, a
cross by the windmills, 81 back of the town
TO the South end of Easton's Pond, where
strong redoubt covered the defile across
the Town Beach.
A number of she farm houses immediate
" north Of the exterior lines were burned,
and many more emptied by their owners,
being destined TO the same fate, but were
spared, after notice given to the owner.

MEMOIR OF RHODE-IsLAND.


The capture and detention of a number
Of the citizens of Bristol and Warren, taken
from their homes by the British, in the ex-
pedition on the night of the 24th of May,
produced letter from General Sullivan TO
General Pigot on the subject, in which Sui
livan enquiries why unarmed citizens were
captured and carried off as prisoners, con-
trary to all the rules of civilized warfare {;
and also demanding to know how they are
held, and on what terms they may be liber-
ated. The letter contains some tart, not 10
say angry, remarks, snimadverting upon the
general conduct of the British troops in
their prosecution of the war.
General Pigot answers the letter and
says: "tEat the law of the Colonies requires
every man from l6 to GO years old to do
military duty-thnt they are called to do
duty whenever their officers think proper
that he considers them as soldiers, and that
they may be exchanged as SUCH"
Notwithstanding this answer, the captur-
ed persons were soon after sent TO Provl-
dence in flag of truce and released.
General Sullivan was ordered TO make a
descent on Rhode-lsland, and the troops
FOR that purpose were collecting in the vi
cinty; say Bristol, Tiverton and Swansey,
each of which divisions were reviewed by
the General on the 18th July.
July 10th the British burnt the house and
barn on Hog Island.
General Prescott. having been exchang-
ed, returned to Newport (fron, New York)
and brought with him " His Majesty's 3Sth

detachment of Royal Artillery" as REIN

Christian Majesty, the great and wise Ally
of these States, commanded by Admiral
Count de Estaing, arrived off Point Judith,
when number of Pilots belonging to this
town went Immediately on hoard, and
brought them safe to anchor off the harbor
of Newport, whereby our savage enemies
are in their turn completely blockaded. On
Thursday two French Ships of the line
came up the West side of Conanicut and
took their stations above the North end Of
that Island several shot were fred at them
as they passed, and few returned the
enemy's Ship which lay there got under
sail on the near approach of our frieuds,
and entered Newport barhor by the West
side of Conanicut. Their troops soon af-
ter evacuated Conanicut, aud fled to Rhode
Island, having previously blown up the
Magazine, spiked their Cannon, destroyed
the works, and set fire to the Barracks.

lies, were blown up by the enemy in Secon-
