VALUABLE SEATS FOR MILLS, Or Manufactories that require a force THE Upper Appomattox Company have from their Canal, in and near Petersburg, Vir ginia, upwards of one hundred feet fall of wa ter, divided into 12, 14 and 20 feet falls. They have also the .necessary Land for the scite of Mills and manufacturing houses, which they wish to let or dispose of. The subscribers, who are managers for the Company, propose to meet at Petersburg on the second Monday in April next, for the purpose of disposing of the water It is expected that on the day fol lowing, at 12 o’clock, the managers will meet at the Bason, and let some situations to the highest bidder.

To those who are unacquainted with the situation, the subscribers believe they may say, there is none more eligable in the country; situate at the head of tide water, at the market for an extensive back country, as well on the river Appomattox, as to the south and west of Petersburg and affording to this country a market 20 miles nearer than Richmond, the only rival. The subscribers further state, that for the want of a sufficient number of mills at Peters burg, a large quantity of wheat is carried from the south side of Appomattox to Richmond, although the roads are much worse and the distance further than to Petersburg.

FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLtGENCER. STANZAS TO PEACE. String’s fairest Howrels gem the ground, Yet Peace and I no more have met; Still, still the clarion’s hostile sound Fills my ch ill’d heart with fond regret. Where does the lovely wand’rer stray In what sequestred nook reside To cavern’d rocks bends she her way, Or ’midst the forest shades abide The still small voice” of reason cries, In vain your meek-eyed love you trace, To unknown realms she swiftly flies, “And shuns your wild infuriate race— Where never human foot has press’d, Where human passions bear no sway, “Swett Peace has fix’d her ‘halcyon nest, Till the mad world her rule obey.” Since our last “Farewell,” darling Peace, What blood has stain’d these hapless shores'. And still the sounds of warencrease. And loud the angry tumult roars. No more the sun’s enliv’ning beam Shall cheer the fated soldier’s eye Life’s vanities he finds a dream. And sinks on earth’s cold lap—to die 1 To die, for his bless’d country’s weal— (To guard her rights his sword he draws) To meet the foe with ardent zeal, Martyr to Freedom’s hallow’d cause. This, this is Glory. Let the Foe Fight at a tyrant’s base command Columbians ne’er can fall so low They stand or fail a Spartan band.” fSI this console the orphan race, Wimse valiant Fathers’course is run. Let this illume the matron’s face, And bid her proudly say—“ So fell tny son-' May He who bids the seasons move, Banish War’s ferocious train, And thou sweet Peace, my meek-eyed love. Return with autumn's golden grain. Speed, speed th# day 1 Vet ere that time, How many hearts may cease to beat! What savage acts—what blood—what crime. May violate each calm retreat! Well! let base marauders land, And let their hopes of conquest swell; Thousands cf dead shall pile die strand, And thousands still their hopes repel. Submit again to Britain’* yoke Be Britain’s tool! —B- Britain’s slave! No rather may death’s light’ning stroke Give an asylum in the grave. TYet, struggling through the gleam of nightj 1 see a cheruu m-ina aopear. Tis Hope she comes on beam.. light An olive branch she saems to bear Ob, that the vision was but real, And Honor could the terms approve Each Patriot’s heart with mine would feel. And welcome peace from realms above. March 20th, 1813. See “Farewell to Peace” in the JSationol Intelligencer some months ago. A rumor of Peace reached the writer a few moments after these lines were finished. THE LO N. We extract, from that valuable old paper the Boston Chronicle, the following essay on the subject of the Loan, which we recommend to the attention of our readers, as containing matter for serious reflection. We had supposed, as we stated the other day that party feelings could not be brought to operate in a case so entirely a matter of in terest as a loan. Experientia docet. We have learnt better. It is with astonishment we have heard, that a conspiracy has been entered into by the factious leaders-—a com bination for an object as distinctly marked as if the terms had been committed to paper, to depreciate the credit of the country, to prevent the circulation or currency of the Treasury Notes, and to defeat the loan; and that the menaces of proscription, distinctly enough held out, of those federalists who dared to subscribe to the loan, have had their effect, and deterred well disposed men from lending their money. We detest the mean ness and pity the weakness of poor human nature, thus exemplified. The federal merchants too, those men who were to be so grateful for the favor of remit ted bonds to double or treble the amount of the whole loan—where are their subscrip tions Let the books answer, and the mer chants account for their niggardliness to the government which had been so lavishly libe ral to them. These few remarks, by the way. About a third of the Loan, only, it was said, was subscribed when the books w T ere first opened. They have been since opened again—the result we have not heard. Our readers need not how ever be in the least u-.easy about the lean. The federal cash may moulder in their vaults, and their bank notes lie stowed away among other useless rubbish—for they cannot now employ them—but the loan will be filled; the government will have money in plenty to carry on its operations—and it will be a sa tisfaction to us at least to know, that they were not indebted to Essex Federalists or Federal Republicans for it, but to a very dif ferent class of men. FROM TRE BOSTON CHRONICLE. An Address to Honest Citizens or Cogent Reflections on the Loan. There is such a similarity in the con duct of those who took, an advantage of the debt contracted for the support of our revolution, and the present federal money holders that it ought to put every man who is in favor of the administra tion on reflection. Many of the men who now enjoy the advantages of the debt contracted dating our revolution, -tr? those who depreciated the old sol diers’ notes—who combined to repre sent the United States as bankrupts— who ridiculed every holder of conti nental securities as the victim of na tional fraud who turned as abhorrent from every old soldier, while offering his note at public market as if he was a swindler. These men have the same object now in view as they then had By thus depreciating the resources of the American nation, they reduced the public securities to 2s. 6d. in the pound Tht y brought them to the nearest point of annihilation, and then pretended to show their patriotism by giving the war-worn soldier the small pittance of an eighth part of their real value. When they had thus monopolized this debt into the hands of a junto, they then united in calling upon government to fulfil their engagements; and in a few years the notes bought by a few monied individuals were at public market at 20s. in the pound, with a quarterly inte rest attached to them. The interest due on them was of more value than they gave for the principal The monied federal party are now playing the same ungenerous trick. They are depreciat ing the present loans, expecting to gain a similar advantage they did on the for mer. But common sense must dictate, that if the United States were equal at that time to restore their notes from 2s. 6d. to 20s. that they can keep them up in future at their present real value. Let the Rej üblicans therefore be aware of a junto, who have acquired their pro perty by a former act of depreciation, and not suffer themselves to fail a prey to a similar system now contemplated fob the same base purposes. That the funds will be maintained at their real value cannot be doubted. We have only to deprecate the injudicious policy of giving 7 per cent, as it is unreasonable that those who have r Europe. This attempt therefore, to depreciate the public stocks on pretence that resources are not with in the power of government to secure the creditors, is just as fallacious as all other federal projects to stop the ener gies of the administration. In these attempts however to depreciate the stocks, certain individuals are cautious not to bring their own private property into market, but rather use the funds i certain corporations as the instru ment of their designs. Has not a large amount of stocks lately been sold at a discount, under the direction of indivi duals in their corporate capacity, who would not have parted with one dollar oi their own property at the same rate The constant publications in the federal papers tending to destroy the confi dence of the citizens in the resources of government; the exultation on the idea that loans cannot be obtained; the daily urging of the monied interest not to assist in any pecuniary propositions, or to aid either in supplying the army or augmenting the navy the treasona ble suggestions that the British have more powerful friends residing in the United States, than the government can produce are not all these things evi dently calculated to encourage the Eng lish in prosecuting the war, and are they not the principal causes of ou.r harbors being blockaded, and of our frontiers being desolated The British ministry receive all their expectations of success from the federalists. The British Parliament does not furnish such advocates in their behalf as the A merican Congress. There is not a pa per printed in England that contains such gross calumny against the govern ment, as within the United States. Tiie Exchange of London, Liverpool or Bris tol, are more free from personal invec tives against the American Congress, than the Exchange of Boston. The fact is, the British ministry depend wholly for success on their friends re siding among us. The war would not continue six months if the British were not buoyed up in their expectations from these quarters. The men who exclaim against the war, are the sole cause of its beginning and the only hope of Britain for its continuance. They give every information to the enemy encourage tht m to prosecute the war with vigor; flatter them that our fund-, are as rapidly depreciating as theirs that our new loans are not more valua ble than their old omniums that Ame rican stocks are tumbling to ruin, and that bulls and bears” are preying on our public credit, with the same rapa city as within the stock exchange in Lwndon that Jews, usurers, swindlers and forgerers, are as busily employed in America to render the national faith of the United States subservient to the base tricks of speculators, as they are by the same class of rogues in England. But we hope these enemies of our na tional peace and honor will be frustrat ed in their wicked devices, and be put to shame and confusion. But to con found these persons in their ^designs, let us look back and inquire from what sources have originated this ungrateful monied interest, who now presume to threaten the government as to their public credit. They consist principally of those who have acquired their pro perty from the punctuality of the pay ment of the principal and interest of the notes they purchased at 2s. 6d. in the pound. The first bank in Massachu setts originated mostly from men of this description. Their funds were founded on this basis—and for many years negociated their loans at a profit unparalleled in the history of the coun try The national bank, which became too formidable for a renewal, a large proportion of their funds was substan tiated on national securities, which h id experience! a depreciation in the pub lic market, but little short of Georgia lands. On these funds the Bank Co lossuses have been reared, and on these shattered paper notes of old soldiers (stained with the blood and tears of their original holders) the mighty fa bric of monied interests has risen to its present eminence. Can wc, then, fellow citizens, be un ndndlul of what the war-worn soldier has heretofore endured Shall we look with complacency on the conduct of men who heretofore depreciated the credit of the country, with a view to depress the veterans who held its pro mises; and thereby purchased seven years services at a rate that would scarcely afford them one month’s sub sistence Though we ever wish to re spect property, and to hold its possess ors in cue estimation, yet it is a hard case, that while our seamen are depriv ed the rights of citizens, and are ex posed to the lashes of an unrelenting boatswain, that those men who now uold their property by our revolutiona ry war, should now withhold their aid, and tantalize government that they will not loan one cent to maintain the con flict. The above observations embrace im portant considerations on the present critical situation of the United States They are not intended to censure, fur ther than tact’s will authorize. If the present war is predicated on the rights of seamen, is it not as just a plea as our revolutionary war on the rights of properly A duty of three pence on tea, involved in it the right of the Bri tish Parliament to tax us in ail cases whatever.” Will it not equally follow, if we admit the right of Britain to seize our citizens on the ocean, that they may impress our citizens on land For if the right is once admitted, in what limits is the authority to be confined? To draw the parallel, if the British can with impunity arrest a sailor on the o cean, they have the same right to claim our citizens in all cases whatever.’ If then the freemen of America in 1776 declared themselves independ ent of being controlled by acts of Park ament, which only affected our proper ty, can they submit in 1813 to become subservient not only to tne capture of their property, but the ensiavem nt of their citizens These questions rise above party dissentions; they involve in their consequences the freedom, sove reignty and independence oi the coun try. And if loans are required, is it not ungrat general officers who have been taken prisoners by the Russian armies, which I have just received from Wil na, but which have not yet been pub lished here. No further official intelligence of*mi litary operatiens has been received here since my last. Private letters of the 30th from Bi beau, mention that the French troops stationed at that place marched on the 22d of December for Memel—from which it appears impossible that they should not have been cut olf, if they at tempted Tilsit, which was occupied on the 13th by count Wittgenstein who was nearer lo Konigsburg. I have the honor to be, Sre. (Signed) CATHCART. DECLARATION. At the moment of my ordering the armies under my command to pass the Prussian frontiers, the Emperor, my master, directs me to declare, that this is to be considered in no other light than as the inevitable consequence of military operations. Faithful to the principles which have actuated his conduct at all times, his imperial majesty is guided by no view of conquest. The sentiments of mode ration which have ever characterised his policy are still the same, after the de cisive successes with which Divine Providence has blessed bis legitimate efforts. Peace and independence shall be their result. These his majesty of fer,s, together with his assistance, to every people, who, being at present obliged to oppose him, shall abandon the cause of Napoleon, in order to fol low that of their real interest.

It is the intention of his imperial majesty to put an end to the talamities by which she is oppressed, to demonstrate to her king the friend ship which he preserves for him, and to restore to the monarchy of Frederic its eclat and its extent. lie hopes that ids Prussian majesty, animated by sen timents which this frank declaration ought to produce, will, under such cir cumstances, lake that part alone which the wishes of his people and the inte rest of his states demand. Under this conviction, the Emperor, my master, has sent me most positive orders to a void ev^ry tiling that could betray a spirit of hostility between the two powers, and to endeavor, within the Prussian provinces, to soften, as far as a state of war will permit, the evils which, for a short time, must result from their occupation. The marshal commander in chief of the armies. Prince Koutousoff Smolensko. PROCLAMATION. When the Emperor of all the Rus sias was compelled, by a war of aggres sion, to take arms for the defence of his states, His imperial majesty, from the accuracy of his combination, was ena bled to form an estimate of the impor tant result which that war might pro duce with respect to the independence of Europe. The most heroic constan cy, the greatest sacrifices, have led to li series of triumphs, and when the com mander in chief, Prince Kutousoff Smolensko, led his victorious troops beyond the Niemcn, the same princi ples still continued to animate the sove reign. At no period has Russia been accustomed to practise that art, (too much resorted to in modern wars) of exaggerating by false statements the success of her arms. But with whatever modesty her de tails might be penned, they would ap pear incredible. Ocular witnesses are necessary to prove to France, to Germa ny, to Italy, before the slow progress of truth will fill those countries with mournings and consternation. Indeed, it is difficult to conceive that, in a cam paign of only four months duration, one hundred and thirty thousand pri soners should have been taken from the enemy, besides nine hundred pieces of cannon, forty-nine stand of colors, and all the waggon train and baggage of the army. A list of the names of all the Generals taken is hereunto annexed.— It will be easy to form an estimate from that list of the number of superior and subaltern officers taken. It is sufficient to say, that out of three hundred thousand men (exclusive of Austrians) who penetrated into the heart of Russia, not thirty thousand of them, even if they should be favored.by fortune, will ever revisit their country. The manner in which Napoleon repass cd the Russian frontiers can assuredly be no longer a secret to Europe. So much glory and so many advantages, cannot, however, change the personal dispositions of his majesty the Empe ror of ail the Russias. The grand principles of the independence of Eu rope have always formed the basis of his policy, for that policy is fixed in his heart. It is beneath his character to permit any endeavors to be made to in duce the people to revisit the oppres sion and to throw off the yoke which has weighed them down for 20 years it is their government whose eyes ought to be opened by the actual situation of France Ages may elapse before an opportunity equally favorable again pre sents itself, and it would be an abuse of the goodness of Providence not to take advantage of this crisis to re-construct the great work of the equilibrium of Europe, and thereby to insure public tranquility and individual happiness.

From the London Morning Chronicle' Sir, —I observe in your paper of yes terday the expression of a hope that the war with America would not long con tinue, as the question between the two governments was simply as t® the right of impressment of seamen on board the American merchant ships and as you express a wish that each party would promulgate their thoughts on the sub ject, it may not be amiss to lay before your readers the propositions that have been made by the American government, and these are, To enter into engagements to allow of no protection to British seamen but on the contrary, to deliver them up whenever they sought refuge among them. To aid our consuls in searching for, seizing, and restoring them. To keep them in their prisons, when thereunto required; and to prohibit their citzens, under adequate penalties, from carrying them off, or employing them. To include, in these provisions, not only deserters, but all seafaring people. Upon these conditions the American government required an exemption from seizure upon the high seas, of all persons found on board American ships, except such as are liable to be taken, according to the laws of nations (for in stance, as enemies serving in the war,) and for such supposed British seamen as being already abroad in American ships, might be claimed in agßritish or friendly port, as British subjects, a pro cess equivalent to that last mentioned, and approved in your remarks, was pro posed. Indeed, it appears by some ex tracts in the Monthly Review of Novem ber last, that an American agent at Ja maica some years ago had, by habeas corpus, ascertained the character, and procured the discharge, of about fifty American seamen, when the Admiral on the station gave orders, that the writs should no longer be attended to. By the adoption of the American pro positions, all subsequent escape of British seamen into the service of the U. States, or of the merchants of Ame rica, would have been prohibited. A more complete remedy can hardly be im agined, against the employment ;of all British seamen not naturalized by the U S. before their adoption. Of those that have so become naturalized (who if any must be very few), something remains to be said. But we are not without a measure in this case, that may surely be adopted without any degradation of the national honor, or diminution of the national dignity. The naturalization law of the United States makes no discrimination between seamen and other citizens. They re quire five years’ residence, with evi dence ofgood behavior. Our laws make special provision for the naturalization of foreign seamen. Two years service on board a man of war, privateer, or merchant ship, enti tles them to all the privileges of a natural-born subject (6 Anne, c. 37. 13 Geo. 2, c. 3). We surrender no sea men thus obtained, and may, therefore, surely,without any disparagement, fore go the demand for our own seamen actually naturalized in the U. States. Their number can be of no censide ration in any point of view, and must evidently bear a very small proportion to the number that jwe would redeem by the above propositions of the U. States. In respect to the men, indeed, whose individual rights we seem to lose sight of, the circumstances are not only unlike, but wide of each other as E. from West —while the fate of the American sea man, involving the dearest interests of life, and lite itself, is subjected to the decision of an officer of the navy want ing men, judge, jury and (a tribu nal which every British subject would resist in a question of a pound note, before which it is notorious that many thousands have been imprisoned for years, and not a few for life) the Bri tish seaman in American employ, is there in pursuance of his own choice. Seamen are never impressed in Ameri ca neither, indeed, are. foreigners al lowed on board their ships of war. I do not comprehend what is meant by the readiness of government to re ceive and discuss any propositions on this subject from America. Proposi tions have been reiterated year after year, and war after war.- Those now placed before you are of many years standing and standing propositions. I should be glad to see any others that would give us more of our own seamen, and leave to our American brethren no cause of complaint: but I confess I know not how they are to be devised. I am, sir, your most obedient ser vant, CONCILIATOR. January 14. DAVID OTT CO.

Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, April I—3t WASHINGTON CITY. THURSDAY, APRIL 1. 1 The Legislature of Massachusetts, having no occasion to make provisions for the defence of the state, which they act as if they thought unnecessary— or for a co-operation with the general government, which they appear to think high treason against federalism have been occupied, during a part of their late session, in an investigation of the subject of impressment with which they have just as much to do as with the regulation of commerce, the declaration of war, or any other power or duty exclusively confided by the constitution to the general government. What a lamentable contrast does this quibbling disposition, this hypercritical legislation, this dissection by legal so phists of facts incidentally stated in support of general principles—what a contrast does such conduct exhibit to that of other patriotic states, who, when they saw the standard of their own government unfurled, did not lower it down to count the stripes and stars, or to examine of what texture of cloth it was made, but manfully rallied round it. The enquiries of the committee appointed by the Massachusetts Legis lature on this subject appear to have been directed to the number of im pressments—to ascertain which, they have examined many merchants and o thers concerned in the East India tradc a, trade in which it is known compara tively very few impressments have tak en place: as if it could make any dis. ference in principle, whether one or an hundred had been impressed. We ask of the enemy to atumdmr the principle, not to lessen the number of men stcal. So far from denying the n umber they impress, their reply is, that an ad herence to the practice is essential to their naval supremacy—that it is a ma ritime righty which cannot be surrender ed. Indeed, we very well recollect, it was said on the floor of Congress, that Great Britain would nail the flag to the mast and go down with it before she would surrender a practice so impor tant to her—important, we presume, in proportion to the number of seamen she adds by this barbarian violence to her Navy. This subject, however, is well understood. The people know what we are fighting for—the liberty of the citizen. The principle is not af fected by the number, great as we be lieve it to be, nor can it be obscured or hidden from sight by all the rubbish that can be heaped on it. As Mr. Bayard said, and as most federalists think, whatever they may say on that head, there is cause enough of war.” The attention of our readers is particularly requested to an article in the preceding column from the London Morning Chronicle, on the subject of the dispute with this country. The following is an extract from an Essay in a late London Morning Chron icle, on the subject of the matters in dispute between this country and Bri tain; from which it appears, Mr. Picke ring and the Massachusetts Legislature to the contrary notwithstanding, that the release of American seamen im pressed on board the enemy’s vessels of war was deemed an evil of such magnitude as to induce the Admiral to disregard the law, and resist the civil authority of his own government at the cannon’s mouth: [EXTRACT FROM A BRITISH PRINT.J Indeed, -it appears by some extracts in the Monthly Rebieis of November last, that an American agent at Jamaica some years ago had, by habeas corpus, ascertained the character, and procured the discharge, of about fifty Ame rican seamen,-when the Jldmiral on the station gave orders, that the whits should no LONGER BE ATTENDED TO-” It appears from this incident too, that in one of the British islands only, and with the limited proof within reach at that place, fifty impressed seamen were discharged during the short period of a few weeks or months that law was permitted to have the ascendancy. POB THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. Addressed ts the Irish Citizens of the United States of America, In reviewing the history of the go vernments of Europe, perhaps there is no period which so strongly excites the interest and sympathy of an American as the present. His own nation involv ed in a contest with the proudest and most imperious government in Europe —that kingdom holding out pretensions and enforcing measures hostile to our rights and to our sovereignty—-her sis ter kingdom convuised with civil dis content, and oppressed with foreign do mination, calls loudly on tin feelings of every man who cherishes a fondness for freedom and civil liberty. It was a beneficent dispensation of Providence, that at a period when the monarchs of Europe were corrupt—-the religion of those kingdoms cruel and oppressive—the civil policy partial and unjust, that a soil was discovered to which the afflicted might flee—to which the injured might repair as an asylum from the rod of the oppressor. This asylum is America and ever through the administrations of this country have its ministers and its laws been charita ble to those who seek in its bosom a retreat from public persecution and pri vate misery. With sincere delight ought you more particularly to view with gratitude and fervid admiration the administration and generous politi cal hospitality of that man, who, in his inaugural conmmunication to the Re presentative Body of this nation, said that America ought ever to be a bosom for oppressed humanity.” This sentiment, so manly and so dignified, has been construed into a partiality for an emigration, which, (in the language of,the opposer of our Republican ad ministration^ will be dangerous and de structive, but which in reality proceed ed from a heart replete with a sympa thy, not often evinced in this corrupt and dissolute age. It was the effusion oi a soul strongly attached to the free and holy institutions of his country—it was not fancy—it was no delusive dream of an utopian intellect—it was no project of impolicy—it was no theme of frozen patriotism. No, fellow-citi zens—he viewed the extensive soil on which he trod as the inheritance of the wretched, not of the proud—he viewed the government, at the head of which the suffrage of his countrymen had plac ed him, as a government under which the industrious and forlorn could enjoy the blessings of liberty—-the fruits ot honest application. In the long train of enormities which have marked the ad ministrations of the monarchy of Great Britain, no man can find one so unfeel ing and perfidious as the subjugation of Ireland, and the extinction of Irish lib erty—that nation once great and inde pendent—that people once loyal and brave is now groaning under the rotten, the almost blighted pride of the Bruns wick Frmcca. With that honest and just indignation which marks the char acter of a generous and noble people, your countrymen have resisted the long pressure of calamity and govern mental abuse, they have seen their dearest citizens inhumanly, and I say with confidence illegally sentenced, and illegally dragged to the scaffold —they have seen in the judicial proceedings ot the Viceroyalty of Ireland, unprece dented partiality, corruption and tyran ny—they have seen a nation, once a member of the great monarchical body of Europe, reduced to a starved and a dejected sisterhood, her icligion con temned, her civil privileges trampled on, her rights prostrated and her altars defiled. Isay these things without fear or without apprehension, for the dis cerning eye of this age, and the caadid pen of the historian will perpetuate the sufferings of the Irish nation. I’will ask any man, has the crown of England shewn that sympathy for your situation, or that solicitude for your interest, which became it either as the Executive organ of government or as the great chief of three sister kingdoms, united under one common sceptre? No From Ireland England draws vast re sources resources which contribute largely to support the civil government of the kingdom—the extended milita ry establishments in her colonies—and lastly to support that pride and glory which aims at universal power and in discriminate sacrifice of sovereignty. I myself have seen the Irish subjects of the crown of England bravely ex posing their lives and constitutions to the inclement regions of both the In dies. I have seen them participate in the hard military toils in common with British subjects. I have seen them suffer and I have seen them sacrifieed. To a people who so far devote their riches and population to the support and aggrandizement of England, one would suppose that the government of that country would look with a more fond and feeling eye on the distresses and deprivations which tyranny has inflict ed but here the sympathetic spirit of man is confounded, and his pious hopes rebuked. It is now three hundred years since that once noble and inde pendent people has been subjected to British tyrahny and English caprice and in this period perhaps no people on earth ever contributed more largely to the funds, the power and the interest of England than the Irish nation. But in her gigantic power she has lost sight of that just love for the sister kingdom —in her ambition she has trespassed on the rights of man, and in her domi nation she has driven her subjects and her sons to a country which I sincerely hose will ever be a retreat for the fa therless and foor. You are in a coun. try which affords plenty, and live un der a government which proffers ho nors to the able and blessings to the in dustrious. It is with hearty joy and unfeigned admiration I see you zealous ly engaged in the support of, not only our national government, but engager in common with the native Americans in carrying into effect the objects of the present war—a war righteous and pro per. Persecuted by the unrelenting inexorable tyranny of your mother kingdom—driven from the earth which nurtured your fathers, you here find a government free and a people gene rous and with a just basis for hop'es that you will ever afford a proportion of your power in aid of the government in her pretensions in peace and in war. I hope also that you will ever entertain that pure and proud scuse of the rights of man, and the inestimable blessings founded on those rights Engaged in the tumults of Europe, and opposing the justly founded pretensions oi' this country, England must find her foun tains failing, and her subjects distract ed her power is too mighty and her government too decrepid to support a conflict which calls into requisition eve ry nerve and every resource which her corruption can furnish. With this aged and collossal power, we as citizens in common are called on to coni nd and in imitation of the sentiments lately manifested by our great and patriotic chief magistrate, let us all display a firmness and evidence a readiness lo act in concert with his councils they are councils which ifnegketed and thwart ed will precede our destruction, but if supported and followed, will perpetuate our independence and sovereignty in this unexpected and dreadful conflict.

PROPOSALS BY JAMES WEBSTER, of Philadelphia, and JAMES WARRELL, of Richmond, For Publishing by Subscription, ji print, Representing Peter Francisco’s gal lant action with nine of Tarleton’s Cavalry, in sight of the whole Troop of 400 men. FROM AN ORIGINAL PICTURE, By JAMES WARRELL, Associate of the Society of Artists of the United Slates.— From the details given by FRANCISCO HIMSELF. The scene represented took place in Amelia county, Virginia, in 1781. Francisco had been reconnoitering, and whilst stopping at a Mr Ward’s, there came up nine of Tarleton’s caval ry and two or three negroes being told he was a prisoner, and seeing himself overpower ed by numbers, he consented to it, and suppos ing him very peaceable, they all went to the house, leaving the pay-master and Francisco together—He demanded his watch, &c which having received, he, in order to secure his plunder, put his sword under his arm, with the hilt behind him While in the act of putting away a silver buckle, finding he had so favora ble an opportunity Francisco stepped one pace in his rear, drew the sword with force from under the paymaster’s arm with success, and gave him instantly a blow across the scull. “My enemy,” observes Francisco, was brave, and, though severely wounded, drew a pistol, and at the same moment he pulled the Digger, 1 cut his hand nearly off The bul let grazed my side Ben Ward (the man of the House) very ungenerously brought out a a musket, and gave it to one of the British told him to make use of that. He mounted the only horse they could get and presented it at my breast—lt missed fire—l rushed on the muzzle of the gun a short struggle ensued— f the painter has copied this moment J l disarm ed and wounded him— Tarleton s troop of 400 men were in sight. All was hurry and confusion, which 1 increased by repeatedly ho lowing, as loud I could, Come on, my brave boys now's your time we will soon dispatch these few, and then attack the mam body:” The wounded man flew to the troop, the seven were panic struck and fled 1 seized Ward and would have dispatched him, but the poor wretch begged for his life---he was not only an ob ject of my contempt but pity. The eight, hor* ses that were left behind, I gave him to con ceal for me. Discovering that Tarleton had dispatched ten more in pursuit of me, I made off. I evaded their vigilance. They stopped to refresh themselves. I, like an old fox, dou tiled and fell on their rear. I went the next day to Ward for my horses he demand ed two for his trouble and generous intentions. Fin ling my situation dangerous, and surround ed bv enemies where I ought to have found friends, I went off with my six horses. I in tended to have avenged myself of Ward at a future day, but Providence ordain ed 1 should not be his executioner for he broke his neck ty a fall from one of the very horses.” CONDITIONS The proposed Print shah be engraved in the best style, by one of the frst Artists in the United States.

Dr. SANFORD’S Improved Powder of the Bark having been used and highly approved by many physicians of distinguished character, in different parts of the United States, the proprietor is encourag ed to offer it to the Faculty in general, under the persuasion that no practitioner of taste, in the choice of his means, cannot fail to be gra tified in the use of this elegant preparation. In strength, finenes and certainty of opera tion, it greatly surpasses the Bark in common use. ALSO. THE ESSENTIAL SALT OF BARK, prepared by the same. The above articles are put up in parcels of different sizes, to accommodate the usual wants of not only Physicians, but of Retail Druggists, Country Merchants and Private Familes; and is sold in Charleston by Messrs.

Extract from the Medical Philosophical Re gister, No 4, Vol. 2, published by Dr. Ho- SACK, Professor of the Theory and Practice of Physic in the University of New York. In our present number, may be found a very interesting communication on the medical virtues of the Peruvian and other Barks. It is with great satisfaction we state, that the author of that paper, Dr. Sandford, after more than twenty five years observation on the ef fects of Bark as a medicine, and no less than ten years attention to the different methods of preparing it, has at length formed an esta blishment, at Greenwich, (Con.) with the view of furnishing the profession with the several species of genuine Peruvian Bark, in the states of an Essential Salt, Powder, &c. On a circumstance of so great importance, we cannot but congratulate the community at large, upon whose confidence and support Dr. Sandford is justly entitled to the strongest claims March 22— PRINTING OF EVERY DESCRIPTION, NEATLY EXECUTED AT THE OFFICE OF THE NAT lON Al INTELLIGENCER.
