GhOflDENCE, October ID.
Saturday evening last the Rose, Glas
gov and Swan Men of War, with severa
Transports, in all about Is sail, arrived il
Bristol Harbor from Newport, and formed
line before the town. A Barge wns soor
after sent on shore, requiring four Msgs.
trates, or principle men, to repair on board
the Rose. The inhabitants did not think
proper to comply with this rcquisition, but
offered to treat with any persons tha,
might be sent on or near the shore, promis-
ing that no Insult should be offered them,
and requested that the matter might be put
off ill next morning. THIS answer was re-
turned, and in less than an hour n heavy
cannonading began from the Ships and
Tenders. The inhabitants not being APP
prchensve of such sudden and unproyoked
cruelty, were thrown into much confusion.
The night was dark and rainy, upwards of
60 persons lay languishing on beds of sick
ness, who were removed into the streets,
and, with the women and children, formed
scene that can be more easily imagined
than described: such of them as had strength
escaped. while others were conveyed to pa-
ces of safety in carriages. firing con-
tinued above an hour, during which iims
more than I20 cannon, and some carcasses
were discharged against the town, aud a
Tender, which lay near the Bridge, at the
North end, kept up constant fire upon the
people that were gong out.-One of the in-
habitants, after haiing the Men Of War,
was taken on board, and on enquiring the
reason of such hostile proceedings, was in
formed that Captain Wallace demanded of
the town of Bristol 100 Sheep, and so head
Of Cattle; but consented finally to be satis-
fed with 40 Sheep only, upon the delivery
Of which he promised to desst from all fur
ther bostilties against them but if the in.
babitants refused to comply, he would lay
the town in ashes. This demand was laid
before the Committee of Inspection, who
considering the raging sickness, and other
peculiar circumstances of the town, ordered
40 Sheep to he delivered, which was accor-
dinghy done: Wallace afterwards dispatch
ed IA Barge to some ofthe neighboring farms,
and plundered them of Hogs, Poultry, But
ter, Cheese &c. The Church, Meeting
House, Court House, and several Dwelling
and Out Houses at Bristol, were damaged |;
a ball entered Mr.. Finncy's Distill- House,
and let out two hogsheads of Rom but
providentially, during the whole Of this bru-
tai transaction, none of the inhabitants were
killed or wounded.-About three o'clock on
Sunday the feet left Bristol Harbor and
lay same time between Poposquash and
Hog Island at the last mentioned place
they landed, and cut up quantity of corn.
On Monday morning, rs the fleet was
attempting 10 pass by Bristol Ferry, the
Rose aud Tender ran aground on the
West Muscle Bed, Rhode-lslaud side, and
were from thence fired on by number of
Minute Men; the Ships aud Tenders fred
on each side several balls went through the
Ferry and other places on the river. Wed

does not breathe in the State. He broke the bonds

meanness and malice have opportunity to say,
that the Wings availed themselves of the services of
Mr. Tallmadge, 10 carry the State, and then coldly
turned their backs upon him. No no Van Buren,

THIRD CoNGREssIoNAL DIsTRlcr-We have been
somewhat surprised witness the gross msrcprescna-
tons Of the Democratic papers in Illinois relative to
the election in the Third Congressional District in this
State 1t is charged by them, and copied extensively
throughout the Union, that the officers of the State have
defrauded Mr. Douglass out Of his seat by refusing to
count certain votes There is not the least shadow OF
truth in the charge. We have had free access to the
official retnns-we present when the examination
Of the returns made by the acting Secretary, Au-
dtor, and Treasurer, and therefore speak from our
knowledge
The Chicago Democrat charges, in substance, that
Col Field, Secretary Of State, fraudulently gave the
certificate Of election Mr. Stuart The editor Of that
paper must either be grossly ignorant Of the whole pro-
of granting certificates must presume upon the
ignorance Of the people. We envy him not either horn
Of the dilemma The Register, too endorses SINH
lar statement How he could mistake in the matter,
is TO rather strange, 1t was only necessary for him
to walk n-few rods and place hmsel! in possession Of
all the facts and nothing but disposition TO misre-
present, be plead by him, for attempting TO make
fase impression, relation to the counting Of for
Messrs Stuart and Douglass. '...
We would further remark, to make this matter plain,
that all the corrected returns from the counties OF Peoria
and Greene and also all the returned TO the De-
partment of State given for Douglass; by whatever
christian were allowed him. This, we repeat, the
Register could have known by examination Of the
returns that were made TO The Department 1t woud
ar pear. from statement going the rounds in the De-
nocrac papers, that some error had been committed
bv the clerk Of Stephenson county this however is
altogether mistake. In that county, all the votes
given against Stuart returned for Douglass Some,
it is true, given for "Wm. A. Douglass" some
for John A. Douglass" and some for Stephen A.
Douglass" but they were all evidently given for Ste
phen A. Douglass, and were returned. This is
fac, that is susceptible Of proof.
The truth is, and state 1t unequlvocally that all
the votes which Mr. Douglass could claim, under the
liberal construction Of the law, by tn" officers
thorzcd to the returns, awarded TO him,
and that the result is precisely stated by them

nimty with which the Wing press raises its voice in

the same sentiment, and to look with astonshment
