pending our own legislatures, and declaring
themselves invested with power to legislate for
us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by decla-
ring us out of his protection, and waglng war
against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts,
burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our
people.
He is at this time transporting large armies
offoreign nlercenaries to complete the works of
death, desolation, aud tyranny, already begun
with circumstances of cruelty aud perfidy,
scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages,
and totally unworthy the head of a civilized ma
ttion.
He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken
captive on the high seas, Il bear arms
against their country, to become the execution
ers oftheir friends and brethren, or to fall them
selves by their hands.
He has excited domestic instructions amongst
us, and has endeavorcd to bring on the inhabit.
ants of our frontiers the merciIess Indian sava-
ges, whose known rule of warfare is an undistin-
guished destruction of all ages, sexes, and condi-
lions.
In every stage of these expressions, we have
petitioned for redress, in the most humble terms:
our repeated petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury. A prince whose character
is thus marked by every act which may define y
tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Z
Nor have we. been wanting i'll attention 70 our
British brethren. We have warned them, from
time to time of attempts made by their Legislature
to extend un Unwarrantable jurisdiction oyerus.
WAhave reminded them Of the circumstances
Of our emigration and settlement here. We
have appliedt to their native Justice and magnan-
Unity, and we have ~coniured them, by the ties of
our. common kindred, to disayow these usurpa-
tons, which would inevitably interrupt our con-
~nexions and correspondence. They, too, have
nifty. We must therefore, acquiesce in the me-
cessity which $Sfnounees our separation; and
hold them, as w hold the rest Of mankind-ene-
mics in war, in peace friends.
We5therefore, the representatives of the Uni
ted States of America, in general congress as.
sembled, appealing TO the Supreme Jugde ofthe
world, for the ~rectitnde of our intentions, do, in
the name and by the authority Of the good peo-
pie Of these colonies, s~olemuly publish and de-
Glare, that these united colonies are, and of
right ought to be, free and Independent states;
that they are absolved from all allegiance to the
British crown, and that all political connection
between them and the state of Great Britain, is
and ought to be, totally dissolved and that, as
free and independent states, they have full pow
erto levy wal, conclude peace, contract allan
ces, establish commerce, and to do all other acts
and things which independent states may of
right do. And, for the support of this declara-
ton, with a firm reliance on the protection of
Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each
other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor.

yet removed from Mrs. Latimer's to the White
House, in consequence of its painting and other

had anticipated the qualification of giving, in this
mornings News, as full an account as possible of
the ceremonials which took place in Albany on
Monday, in commemoration of the virtues and pub
lie services of Andrew Jackson; but the failure of
both the Atlas of Monday evening, and the Argus
of yesterday morning. has caused disappointment
of that hope. We were last midnight informed by
Of the clerks at the post office, that neither Of
these papers had yet been received at the office
This is very extraordinary, as well as particularly
unfortunate We learn from the knickerbocker of
yesterday morning, however, that notwithstanding it
rained nearly all day, the procession was the largest
witnessed in Albany since that in honor Of the
lamenled Lafayette. Business in every quarter was
entirely suspended, and every one appeared to feel
the solemnity Of the occasion. Through the streets
traversed by the procession, many stores, private
dwellings, &C., were shrouded with the embems Of
mourning. The arrangements for the occasion
were carried out with greut regularity and success.

GENERAL COURT MARTIAL SECOND
OF CART. VOORHEES, q, ORE!

The testimony of Lieutenant David D. Porter was
resumed, on the cross-examinaton, and closed. H,
stated that il the custom on board every ship he
had been in, for the eutenants to fog the men with
out reporting to the captain; but he did not know
that it was by the authority of the captains excep
from inferrng that the lieutenants would not assume
it without authority. But he never knew an order
verbal written, establishing il as part of the in
ternal regulations of ship, except on board the
Congress.
Lieutenant Robert L. Browning, the first lieuten.
ant of the Congress, was called, and examined by
the judge advocate. He testified that Captain Voor.
hees received the secretarys order at Annapolis to
proceed to Norfolk without delay, on Friday, the
I4th March; that he then told him that he could moi
sail until Monday on account of the purser having
to pay off the men whose times were up; that on
Monday, Capt. Voorhees, on board at 10 o'clock
They then tried to get under way, and failed; the
breeze beng such, they could not weigh anchor
with the means they had at command. The wind
lulled at two o'clock, and they tried again, and fail
ed the wind increasing again. On the morning OF
Monday, before ten o'clock, the ship might have
been got under way, had the captain staid board
the night before; and previous to that from Saturday
morning to Monday, the ship was ready, and wind
fair; and he knew no reason why they did not pro.
ceed 1t WINS not necessary to stay for the purser
who was left at Annapolis when they did sail on
Tuesday
Lieutenant Browning also testified to the estab.
fishing of the order for lieutenants to fog the men,
He first learned from Captain Voorhees, his in.
tention to come to Annapolis, a week before he go
his orders from Commodore Turner, at Rio Janeiro
Lieutenant Browning gave his against going
to Annapolis, and Captain Voorhees, said he nigh,
growl as much as he pleased, he'd be id if he
didn't 60 TO Annaposl After he got his orders, he
complained; and, the voyage home he spoke seve.
raj times Of what was to be done when they got
to Annapolis. When they took the pilot, they could
have anchored in Lynn Haven bay easier than to
have gone to the Horse Shoe. On this point the tes-
timony of Lieutenant Browning directly conActed
with that of the pilot He gave his opinion that
there was no cause for going up to Annapolis; and
that the course free to Hampton Roads. The
pilot also told him, the night they anchored on the
Shoe that the wind was fair to go to the lght-boat
The second day up the bay, the wind came ahead
for Annapolis, and fair for Norfok and Lieutenan,
Browning advised Captain Voorhees, to go back
He replied he could not because the government,
expected him at Annapolis. On the voyage he told
Lieutenant Browning he wished the men kept in ex-
ercise at the guns he expected that the heads OF
departments and Of the bureaus would visit the shin
at Annapolis. Before this witness was cross-ex-
nmined, the court adjourned.
