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. The terms on which the mana gers would wish to dispose of the scites, may he more particularly known after the first of March next, by application to Danie! E. Allen, clerk for the Company, residing at Petersburg. The subscribers are disposed to give every en couragement in their power to manufactories of cotton and wool, particularly the carding and spinning of wool and the fulling of wool len cloth. There is already erected at the locks a Saw Mill and a small Grist Mill, which we propose to lease for one or more years, and which will be very convenient to those who may be about to erect buildings at the locks, or on the CBual.

Andas to the convenience in making shipments of flour, it is believed that Petersburg has every advantage which is possessed by Richmond. JOHN GRAMMER, EDWARD MUMFORD, RICHD N.

CH EV RS 9 s speech ON THE TREASURY NOTE BILL. Mr. Chev'-v said, that in the argument he should offer to the House he should Tnlhracc the loan bill passed to a 3d read ing yesterday, as w bt But the honorable gentlemen say, we should not delay for a moment the execution ol this purpose that we should provide revenue in anticipation Admitting the general proposition, is there any thing which calls for a pro ceeding of this sort before the authori zation of a loan The year 1813 has already’’ been provided for, and tor 1814 provision may be made at the present session, and, if not at this session, by an anticipation of the usual time of the sit ting ol Congress. 11 it be not provided, th- re will be on the part of the govern ment an omission of duty. I do not imagine, sir, that the persons who ma nage this concern will be guilty of a negligence so culpable as not to provide the means in due season for the next year. One measure alone would sup ply the means for the present and next year—permitting the return of the pro perty of our merchants from Great-Bri tam. If the Legislature resort to this mode, the object of providing the reve nue may be accomplished in a short time. Why Should gentlemen be alarm ed for the public credit, when there is so little apparent cause for alarm Why should they suspect men, who have heretofore so amply provided for it, of a failure to do so in future But honorable gentlemen have said s .id there should be a sinking fund to secure the re payment of the public debt according to the contract of the government, and that it has not been provided, according to the usual prac tice of well regulated governments. This I deny. What is the argument of the gentleman from Connecticut (Mt Pitkin.) He endeavors to prove, by a particular detail which he entered into, that there will be imposed on the sink ing fund for 1814 thirteen millions and three hundred thousand dollars. This I deny. The sinking fund is the appli cation, under the pledge of the govern ment of a certain sum for the sinking of so much debt and paying so much in terest as that sinking fund is capable of effecting. Our sinking fund is eight millions. I ask the honorable gentle man whether, in the only instance which he has in his argument examined of a sinking fund, I mean the English, it be not encumbered every day with an addi tion of new debt. Every new debt created becomes an incumbrance on the sinking fund. It may be said that one per cent, is added to it on the amount of every new debt created. But, sir, our sinking fund bears a greater pro portion to any new debt which can be created throughout the war than the English sinking fund does to their debt. The competency of the sinking fund, therefore, as far as we look to example, is found to be at least equal to that of England. The error of the gentleman is this that the sum chargeable on the current expences of the year he puts upon the sinking fund, with which it has nothing to do. Suppose the government issue ten millions instead of five mil lions of Treasury Notes, the sinking fund must, according to his ideas, be eighteen millions And suppose, again that the government, instead of obtain ing a loan for twelve years, should ef fect a temporary loan for one year ol five millions; the sinking fund would then be twenty-three millions. The error is in charging upon the sinking fund what is properly chargeable on the Ways and Means of the year. The honorable gentlemen differ, how ever. The honorable gentleman from New-York admits, and I doubt not cor rectly, that if a nation like this shall pro vide for the payment of the interest of the national debt, and not allow an ac cumulation of interest and compound interest, the expences of the war may be defrayed by loans, and its credit may be supported. But the gentleman from Connecticut contends that it is necessa ry to the support of public credit that during the continuance of war we should pay the expences of the war to a considerable extent by a revenue raised upon the people within the year. In support of this position he cites the ex ample of the revolutionary war; and it appears to me that the gentleman Was singularly unfortunate in this reference. During the present year we have alrea dy secured twelve millions of revenue 1 here are three millions in the Treasu ry, making together fifteen millions and I might defy the gentleman to prove, by any thing like accurate calcu lation, that so much as fifteen millions of revenue raised upon the people ac crued to the public treasury during the whole period of the revolutionary war. I am acquainted with no historical fact to prove, that during the whole Revo lutionary war fifteen millions were rais ed on the people. Say that I am wrong as to the precise amount say that twenty millions were raised, if you please. The revenue dui ing the last and present year will exceed any thing that could be supposed to have been re ceived during the whole Revolutionary war. The gentleman I suppose makes out his calculation thus It has been calculated, he says, that the Revolution ary War cost an hundred and thirty five millions. Of these there remained pay able, at the close of the war, sixty three millions. T herefore, he conceives the difference between the two must have been raised by taxation during the war I answer that the fact is not so. I ask the gentleman to turn to an historic 1 fact, and refute that complaint which runs through the whole history of the war of the incompetency of the govern ment thus to raise the sum necessary to the prosecution of the war How the sum of 135 millions was made out, I am unable at this moment with confi dence to say—but I suppose by an arbi trary calculation of the value of bills of credit, of which probably not one-third was funded at all; because the holders of the bills did not think it worth their while to bring them in; they are found now all over the United States in bun dles. Every heir finds them in the bot toms of old trunks, and in the garrets of his progenitors. Thus this calcula tion of the cost of the war must have been founded and, according to this mode of calculation, I dare say it might be made out to have cost much more. It is not therefore proved that the dis ference stated was raised by the United States. 1 here were no impositions laid by Congress itself. The debt of the general government at the close of the war amounted to 42 or 43 millions— the debt arbitrarily assumed as due to the states was 21^ millions. How was that sum made up By the amount of contributions of every description made by the states. That sum more than em braced the whole contributions of the states—because some of it was interest. In any possible view, the comparison of the revenue of the Revolutionary go vernment with that of the present is in jurious to the argument of the gentle man. It is no proof that any considera ble sum expended in the war was raised during the war. In fine, sir, a basis of credit now ex ists which ought to be perfectly satis factory to every man in the nation, when taken in connection with the religiously good f nth with which the public credit has been maintained. A basis is estab lished which none but the most incor rigible sceptie I think would doubt. It is indeed incumbent on the government to provide a revenue for 1814, and they will be guilty of a dereliction of duty if they do not provide it. But that dere liction of duty has not yet taken place the accusation therefore is premature and unfounded. The next question is, the practicabi lity ol the loan—and here gentlemen ad mit that there is sufficient capital in the country to supply the wants of the go vernment, and that the value of money does not exceed six per centum. The honorable gentleman says, that if a higher interest be given by government for the money, it will be because the public credit has not been sufficiently secured. But I contend, sir, if the value of money be no more than six per cent, that it will not be because of the defect of security that the government will have to give more—it will be on account of the confidence given to the recondite calculations of the gentleman from Connecticut and the fears excited by the rhetorical spectres of the gentle man from New-York—it is these fear ful.predictions and these erroneous cal cubtions of gentlemen, and these only, that can shake the confnknce of the monied men in the security of the go vernment. Ido not here allude, sir, to what I consider a slander on gentlemen who are opposed to the loan, the asser tions in the public prints, that efforts arc used to destroy the credit of the go vernment ana defeat the loan. I will not suppose it to be true. Such con iuct would be too weak, too wicked, mo treasonable, I had almost said, to ie believed of any respectable portion of our citizens. Nothing but tn uonest fears of th a people, excited by the argu ments of gentlemen here, will proven item from loaning money to govern ment on advantageous terms. It will not be for gentlemen hereafter, if the government should be driven to giv more than six per cent, for money, to complain of that which is the conse quence of their own imprudence in ex citing false alarms Notwithstanding the like statements, arguments and predictions of gentlemen about the pub lie debt, the lo.m for the last yeir has been obtained, and that wanted for the present year will he obtained m like manner, I trust, at the lowest just rate of interest. The particulars of the loan bill pre sent the next and last view of the sub ject The gentlemen have argued over and over again the question relative to limiting the interest to be given tor the loan. The gentleman from Connecticut said, there were no examples of such unlimited power. It is painful for me, sir, to repeat arguments I have already urged. The first loan ever authorised ;>y the government is an example. What was the motive for allowing the government then to give an indefinite interest? Was it a moment of difficul ty Was the enemy at your gates? Was he in the mouths of your harbors, or on the frontiers No; the govern ment was in profound peace. The old debt which was to be redeemed by the loan bore a reasonable interest, ana yet an unlimited power as to the amount of interest was given Why wis it done Because the interest ol the government called for it; it was to put tne govern ment out of the hands of the money lenders. If the government h. d then passed a law authorising a loan ut 8 per cent, the money-holder would have come forward and demanded it; and he would do so now, and would not abate an iota of the 8 per cent. The honor; ble gentleman says there were but two other examples of this kind, the five million and the three and a half million loans; and he calls upon us to take warning by those examples, alluding to the administration of that day having given 8 per cent, interest. That high interest proceeded, I will not say from the abuse, but from the injudicious ex ercise of the power vested in the go vernment; and if the government were to do now as the government then did, I should consider it as abusing its power; but I do not mean an immoral abuse of power. The government may now pos sibly not get it for less but, if they do not, it will proceed from causes such as I have stated. Trusting the govern ment thus with the management of the loan, and the negociation of interest is at this time not so indiscreet as to go in to market and state their price. I wish you then, sir, to copy the wisdom and avoid the error of the former adminis tration. But there were other instances be sides that which I have mentioned and the 3| and five nullions loans, to which the gentleman has alluded. There was one for naval and military appropriations, of one and a half millions. There have indeed been numerous instances of such grants, and this too in a time of peace. Congress are authorised, there fore in point of precedent, in granting power to make a loan without limitation of interest—and I will not disregard the value of precedent on this point, though it came from the honorable gentlemen, and though they even dis own it. I need not I hope, sir, give any further answer, to the argument that the want of limitation to the interest to be given is an exceptionable feature in the bill Nor is the authority to sell the stock, or give a premium more exceptionable. This the honorable gentleman from New-York has correctly stated is a mat ter of calculation. Nothing is more true. If by the sale of stock the govern ment can make a better bargain than by the loan, they will do so; and they will give a premium if a better bargain may be made in that way. 1 need not enter into the argument of the gentleman from Connecticut, going to shew the probable expence of the war. I will shew one instance however in which the gentleman is in error. The gentleman has stated that in this year twenty-one millions wdl be added to the debt of the nation. Now this is a mis take there will not be 2 1 millions added to the debt of the nation For if thirty six millions, the sum estimated for the present year, be expended, eight millio. s of it at least will be expended for the payment of the interest and the diminution of the principal of the pub lic debt. There will be expended for interest about 3,000,000. The loan (including the Treasury notes) wanted tor the present year is twenty-one mil lions so that the amount added to the public debt during the present year will not exceed sixteen millions. The gen tleman says, if the war be continued four years, it will add to our debt an hun dred millions ©f dollars. Not, sir, if the interest of the lo.ins be provided for within each year. The whole amount of four years’ loans, supposing them not greater than that of the present year, and nicy cannot well be conceived to be probaby greater, will amount to but sixty-four millions, and will not exced by twenty-four millions the sum which the republican administrations of this government have paid off of the public debt. I have no more t® say, sir, on the merits of these bills. But gentlemen have again given us a dish of all-sorts, and called our attention to the war. The honorable gentleman from New York gave us the reasons why he would not support the war or vote for the loan. In the first place, lie said there exis's a constitutional right in every member to oppose the war. No man denies the right, and very far am 1 from question ing it; but I hope there will be a pru dent and a conscientious exercise of that right. Ido not deny that gentle men act conscientiously; but I believe they arc mistaken in their views. The conduct of the English opposition is offered as an example. But out govern ment is different from that of England. That government consists of the pco pie, the sovereign and the privileged orders; our government is one of the people alone. In that government it is sometimes necessary that that portion of it which represents the people should be in opposition to the government. But that is not necessary and perhaps not justifiable here. The gentleman from New York (Mr. Stow) the other day, in his admirable speech, gave us illustrious examples of Englishmen dis approving a war, and yet supporting their government in carrying it on. Gentlemen have a right of opposition, but they ought to exercise it so as not to injure their country, and they ought not uncharitably to upbraid others who. in m iking war, make nothing but sa ci ific< s and run every hazard without dmostany hope; who can gain nothing but may lose every thing; who conse quently can have no sinister views, and must therefore be supposed to act ho nestly. Gentlemen have again adverted to the particular causes of the war. There is no end to this subject. Mocking is catching. The honorable gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Randolph) during the last session, humorously and wit tily, laughed at the gentlemen on this side of the House for the frequent recurrence in debate of the project of invading Canada. He said their cry was Canada, Canada, Canada I” But the gentlemen of the opposition have not only borrowed them, but have al most robbed the majority of their notes —they have not been Satisfied with this, but so much enamoured of them are they, that they have parodied them and cry in imitation almost incessantly ‘‘War, war, war!” Their reasons in opposition to war are so numerous, that in this particular they resemble the ad dress of the Mayor of an obscure town in France, which lie proposed to deli ver to the great Henry as an apology for not firing cannon on the approach of the monarch, who visited the town in one of his progresses through the kingdom He said they had eighty nine reasons for not firing cannon the first was, that they had none 1 The King beseeched him not to urge any more. The reasons of the gentlemen seem to be equally numerous and they have one equally conclusive they will not sup port the war We, may number, but liow shall we describe the various cha racter of the reasons of the gentlemen I know no way so ready as by an altera tion of the words which the poet puts in the mouth of the bacchanal as an apo logy for taking his glass— A friend, a toast, 4^ being dry, Or lest we should be by and bye, Or any other reason why.” To the gentlemen themselves, who abound in fiction and fancy, the materi als of poetry, I will leave the alteration. ANECDOTE. Of the Old French Police. A merchant of high respectability of Bordeaux had occasion to visit the metropolis upon commercial busi ness, carrying with him bills and money to a large amount—On his arrival at the gates of Paris, a genteel looking man opened the door of his carriage and addressed him to this effect—“ Sir, I have been waiting upon you for some time according to my notes you were to arrive at this hour and your person, your.carriage and your portmanteau, exactly answering the des cription I hold in my hand, you will permit me to have the honor of conduct ing you to Monsieur De Sartine.” The gentb man astonished and alarmed at this interruption, and still more at hear ing the Lieutenant of Police mention'd, he demanded to know what-Monsieur De Sartine wanted of him adding at the same time, that he had never commit ted any offence against the laws, and that he could have no right to interrupt or detain him The messenger declared himself perfectly ignorant of the cause of the detention stating at the same time, that when he had conducted him to Monsieur De Sartine he should have executed his orders, which were mere ly ministerial. After some further explanations, the gentleman permitted the officer to conduct him to the hotel of the Lieutenant of Police. Monsieur De Sartine received him with great po liteness and after desiring him to be seated, to his greet astonishment he des cribed his portmanteau, and told him the exact sum in bills and specie which he had brought with him to Puris, and where he was to lodge, his usual time of going to bed, and a number of other circumstances, which the gentleman had conceived could only be known to himself. Monsieur De Sartine having thus excited his attention put this cx tr .ordinary question to him—“ Sir, are you a man of courage The gentle man still more astonished at the singu larity of such an interrogatory, demand ed the reason why he put such a strange question, adding at the same time that no man ever doubted his courage. Monsieur De Sartine replied—“ Sir, you are to be robbed and murdered this night! If you arc a man of courage you must go to your hotel, and retire to rest at the visual hour, and be careful that you do not tall asleep neither will it be proper for you to look under your bed or into any of the closets which are in your bed chamber (which he so ac curately described; you must place your portmanteau in its usual situation near your bed, and discover no suspi cion leave what remains to me. If, however, you do not feel your courage sufficient to bear you out, I will pro cure a person who shall personate you and go to bed in your stead After some further explanation, which con vinced the gentleman that Monsieur De Sartine’s intelligence was accurate in every particular, he refused to be per sonated, and formed the immediate re solution of literally following the di rections he had received. He accord ingly went to bed at his usual hour, which was 11 o’clock. At half past twelve, (the time mentioned by Mon sieur De Sartine) the door of the bed chamber burst open, and three men en tered with a dark lantern, daggers and pistols. The gentleman, who of course was awake, pqrceivtd one of them to be his own servant. They rilled his port manteau undisturbed, and settled the plan of putting him to death. The gen tleman hearing all this, and not knowing by what means he was to be rescued, it may naturally be supposed was under great perturbation of mind during such an awful interval of suspense, when at the moment the villains were preparing to commit the horrid deed, four police officers, acting under Monsieur De Sartine’s orders, who were concealed under his bed, and in the closet, rushed out and seized the offenders with the property in their possession, and in the act of preparing to commit the murder. Ihe consequence was that the perpe tration of ihis atrocious murder was prevented, and sufficient evidence ob tained to convict the offenders. Mon sieur De Sai tint’s intelligence enabled him to prevent this horrid offence of robbery and murder—which but for the accuracy of the system, would probably have been carried into execution. BATHING IN THE TURKISH BAGNIOS. We undressed in a large square room, where linen is hung to dry, and the keeper attends with his servants. We had each a long towel given us to wrap round our middle, and a pair of tall wooden pattens to walk in. We were led through a warm narrow pas sage into the inner room, which is yet more spacious, and, made very hot by
Page 3
stoves which arc concealed. In this was a water-bath and recesses, with partitions on the sides. The pavement in the centre under the dome was rais ed, and covered with linen cloths, on which we were instructed to lie down. We were soon covered with big' drops of sweat, and two men, naked, except the waist, then entered, and began kneading our flesh, tracing all the mus cles and cleansing the pores. By the time they had finished, our joints were sufficiently suppled, and they commenc ed the formidable operation of snap ping all of them, not only the toes, an cles, knees, fingers, and the like, but the vertebra: of the back, and the breast; one while wrenchingour necks, then turning us on our bellies, crossing our arms behind us, and placing their right knee between our shoulders. The feats they performed cannot be easily described and are hardly credi ble. When this was over, we were rubbed with a mohair bag fitted to the hand, which, like the ancient strigil, brings away the gross matter perspir ed. We were then led each to a recess, supplied by pipes with hot and cold wa ter, which we tempered to our liking. The men returned with soap lather and tow in a wooden bowl, with which they cleaned the skin, and then poured a large quantity of warm water on our heads. Our spirits were quite exhaust- ed, when they covered us with dry cloths, and led us back to the first room, where beds were ready for us. On waking, after a gentle slumber, we were presented each with a lighted pipe ai d a dish of coffee. We rose much refreshed, and as the ladies of the Aga or Turkish governor were expect ed there, hastened away. The common Turks and Greeks pay a very small gratuity for the use of the bath, which they frequent once a week or oftner. 1 have sometimes been regaled while in the inner room, with ripe fruits and sherbet, and with incense burning to scent the. air. One of my companions repeatedly partook with me in this in noe’ent and wholesome luxury at Smyr na and at Athens.— Chandler's Travels in Asia Minor. Nkfi r WASHINGTON CITY. SATURDAY, APRIL 10. We have not yet been able distinctly to ascertain the arrangements conse quent on the acceptance by our govern ment of the mediation of Russia. It is probable, however, that a commission of two or three persons will be named by the United States, to meet such per sons as may be designated with that view by the enemy, at the Court of the Me diator. This we believe will be con formable to the usage of nations on simi lar occasions. Indeed it is very audi bly rumoured and currently credited that a gentleman high in office is to form one of the Legation, and our pre sent Minister in Russia another. It is also said there is to be a third commis sioner appointed. When these appoint ments shall be concluded, they will doubtless be made known to the public. Meanwhile we have thought it our duty to state the rumors which arc in cifcu- iatlon; and which we are convinced, have better foundation than rumors mostly have. Wilmington, Afiril 8. LEWISTOWN ATTACKED. The following letter to a gentleman in this town was received by express this morning from Dover “Dover, April7th, 1813. Some have been too long settled into an opinion that there was no dan ger—that the British would not bom bard Lewistown. We have had two expresses to this place this morning. One left Lewistown at 4 o’clock yester day the other at 10 o’clock last night. Both mention the cannonading. We at this place heard the cannon until eight o’clock this morning.” Lewis, 6th Afiril. The fire from our battery silenced one of their most dangerous gun-boats, against which I directed the fire from our 18-pounder, for which I request you will immediately send me a supply of shot and powder, as it is uncertain how long the bombardment will con tinue. They have not succeeded with their bombs in reaching the town—and the damage from their 32-pounders and cannister cannot be ascertained till day-light. N. B.

Harrisburgh, 3is£ March, 1813; A requisition having been made by the executive authority of the General Government, that I would order on service for the United States for the protection of our Naval Armament at the town of Erie, in the county of Eric, within the limits of Pennsylvania, a detachment of militia—Therefore, in compliance with the said requisition, I order into the military service of the Union, to rendezvous at the said town of Erie on or before the 20th day of April next, a detachment to consist of 1000 men. to be drafted from the 11th, 12th and 13th Divisions, and of captain Samuel Thomas his company of artil lery of the 9th Division, who have pa triotically volunteered their services to the Governor. Which detachment shall be organized and officered agreeably to the rules and regulations that are ob served in the army of the United States, recognized by an act of the Legislature of this state, passed the 29th inst. and agreeably to the several other laws of this state relative to the militia, so far forth as such laws will apply to, and come in aid of the orders of the Secre tary at War, and the special provisions of the said law of the 29th instant. Of which detachment I have constituted Reese Hill, Esq. of Green county, Col. by Commission, under the great seal of the state, who is to obey and execute all orders that issue to him from his supe rior officer of the United States army. On the officers and privates under his command strict obedience is enjoined to all his orders and commands so long as the detachment shall remain in the service of the United States. The Commander in Chief with pleasure and with pride quotes from a letter to him from Gen. Wm. H. Harrison an enco mium highly to the credit of the de tachment of Pennsylvania militia under his command as worthy the imitation of our citizen soldiers: “lean assure you that there is no corps on whom I rely with more confidence, not only for the fidelity of undaunted valor in the field, but for those virtues which are more rarely found amongst the militia—pa tience and fortitude under great hard ships and deprivations, and cheerful obedience to all commands of their officers,” SIMON SNYDER, Gov. of the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania. N. B. BOILEAU, Aid-De Camfi. WHO ARE THE FRIENDS OF PEACE? This question can be easily solved by every person of ordinary capacity, who is the least acquainted with the transactions of recent date. It is stated by the federalists, that the question of impressment is the only ground for continuing the war. Admit this to be correct, and what follows Why, that those who seek most to reconcile the differences on this point, are the real friends of pence; and that those on the contrary, who strive to perpetuate the ditlcrences on this subject between the two nations, are the real friends of war. The pretence of G. B. and her apolo gists for continuing the practice, every body knows, is to obtain British sea men. Of course, if this sole pretence is done away, by rendering it inpossible for British seamen to be employed on board our vessels, it is doing all in our fiower to bring about a peace. A law for this very purpose has passed Con gress; and who do you think voted for it Not those who profess so loud to be the friends of peace—not the fede ralists the republicans passed the law in despite of the opposition of the fede ral party. Does this not afford irrefu table evidence, that federalists seek to perpetuate our differences with G. B that they may have the more room to find fault 2 For it is not on the ground of their own merits, but from the evils incident to war, which they believe will render the administration unpopular, that they expect to rise to power. A peace on fair terms would blast their projects. They therefore encourage England to persist in her demands, that the war may be prolonged. We ask every candid reader reader, if the inference we draw is not the only one the fact will warrant. Albany Argus.

Extract from the Log-Book of the pri vate armed schooner Hazard, of Charleston, commanded by Placid le Chartier. The private armed schooner Hazard, of Charleston, 57 tons burthen, com mand by Placide Le Chartier, mounting one carriage gun, a six-pounder and two six-ponnd carronades, armed with 38 men, the captain inclusive while at an chor off the island of Davie, at half past ten o’clock, discovered a man of war brig escorting five merchantmen, one of which had lost her mizen mast, and was to leeward^—remained in that situation until the sloop of war and four mer chantmen was out of sight, then gave chace until one o’clock, came up with a large armed ship, who hoisted Eng lish colors and fired a gun the privateer likewise hoisted English colors made for the ship. Wh n within musket shot, fired our six-pounder loaded with ball and grape shot and poured in our mus ketry with great violence, which was but partially returned—at a quarter past one o’clock while in the act of boarding and keeping up a well diiect ed and incessant fire which proved so destructive, that they could make no re turn to injure us, she struck her colors —at half past 1 o’clock, sent a lieutenant and 9 men with our boat for the captain, who returned with captain Alexander Nicholson, a native of London, com manding the Br. copper bottomed ship Albion of London, fr.Demarara, bound to London, navigated by 15 men, with a passenger on board, making all together 16, mounting 12 guns, six’s and nines, with a cargo of 400 birds. sugar, 39 puncheons rum, 36 casks and 300 sacks of coffee, and 10 bags cotton. In conse quence of captain N being wounded in the action, and there being no conve nience to attend him on board the priva teer, he was allowed, agreeable to his request, to return on board the prize— ordered the prize master to keep in com pany with the priyateer, made for Char leston, which we succeeded in, and re mained off that port eight days, endea voring to get in which we could not do in consequence of the weather being very foggy—on the 19th at 8 o’clock, lost sight of the prize; as soon as the weather cleared went in pursuit ot her and continued until Sunday 21st inst. at half past two o’clock, the man at the top cried out a sail, which a few min utes after proved to be our prize the weather still continuing foggy, at four o’clock, again lost sight of her at eight o’clock weather cleared away a little, and discovered ourselves a little of Sa vannah Light, S S E.—On the 22d at half past eight ©’clock discovered our prize about eight miles distant made sail for her, at half past 9 o’clock, discovered a British cutter with our prize, which we presumed she had re captured—at 10 o’clock we hoisted a signal for our prize, which she did not answer—at 11 o’clock she hoisted Br tish colors, and steered in a different direction continued to pursue them both until Tuesday the 23d at 12 o’clock when they commenced firing on us, at a considerable distance. Not wishing to waste our powder, occasionally a mused them with a shot, until one o’clock, when we came within musket shot, then commenced to fire at the ship and cutter, which was answered by them with great promptitude and ap parent determination—at 3 o’clock the second lieutenant, carpenter, and five men, were dangerously wounded —at five o’clock the cutter hauled off to repair the damage caused her—dur ing the interval ordered an additional supply of cartridges made up—at half past 5 o’clock, hauled close up; then nearly calm, commenced the attack with great violence, the crew to a man having determined to lose their lives before they would lose this valuable prize, which already cost so much trou ble—at half past 6 o’clock the British cutter again hauled off and continued to fire at a distance—then took advan tage of the position, bore down on the prize and with the six-pounder alone and brisk attack with musketry caused her to strike her colors then ordered her to lay too—the British cutter having shot ahead, we instantly gave chase, keeping up a tremendous fire with the six-pounder and musketry, pursued her until near eight o’clock being then nearly out of sight of the prize, the cutter ceased firing, hailed us, saying they had struck and signified the same by hoisting and lowering a lanthern three times—having then but 21 men on board the Hazard, the captain in cluded, did not thi. k proper to take possession of her, but bore down on the prize, which we boarded at nine o’clock and put on board a prize-master and 6 men leaving on board the Hazard on ly 14 men and the captain—received on board the Hazard the British prize-mas ter and crew, who reported himself to be named Michael Magee and deliver ed the copy of the cutter’s commission, called the Caledonia, of Nassau, New- Providence, commanded by John Hin son, mounting eight guns, sixes and lours, and navigated by 35 men—kepi close in company with our prize, after making several attempts to get into Sa vannab, the wind being from N.

During the above gallant action with one single 6 pounder 2 1 men did the valiant Le Chartier, and his brave crew, contend against 36 men on board the British cutter and 1 6on board the ship, making together 52 men, and 20 guns principally six and nine pounders— during the action which commenced at 12 o’clock and continued until half past eight, an elapse of nine hours and a half, the crew of the Hazard, expended 135 six pound shot and six thousand ball cartridges. We, the subscribers; captain and part of the crew of the British ship Albion, mounting 12 guns, and now lying in the river St. Mary’s, do hereby certify, that after an engagement with the privateer schr.

During the latter part of the action between the British privateer Caledonian, of 8 guns, and the American armed schooner Hazard, of three guns, we were in the ship Albion, a considera ble distance from the action, could only see the fire of the guns a part of the time—went below to pay the last duties to a dying man; when we came on deck, the British cutter Caledsnia had ceased to fire; the Hazard still continued to fire—-when we understood from our crew the Caledonia had struck, as they saw her hoist and lower a lanthern three times then the Hazard stopped firing, and put a prize crew on board our ship.

PROPOSALS BY JAMES WEBSTER, of Philadelphia and JAMES WARRELL, of Richmond, For Publishing by Subscription, A 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 Jlrtists of the United States.—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 ihe hilt behind him While in the act of putting away a silver buckle, find ng 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 trigger, I 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 a? my breast—lt missed fire—l rushed on the muzzle of the gun—a short struggle ensued— fthe painter has copied this moment J l disarm ed and wounded him— Tarleton's troop of 400 men -were in sight All was hurry a d confusion which I increased by repeatedly hodowing, as loud I could, Come on, my brave buys now's your time we will soon dispatch these few, and then attack the mum 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, Imade off. I evaded their vigilance. They stopped to refresh themselves. I, like an old fox, dou bled and fell on their rear. I went the next day to Ward for my horses he demand ed two for h.s trouble and generous intentions. Finding my situation dangerous, and surround ed by 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 I should not be his executioner for lie broke his neck Ly a fall from one of the very horses.” CONDITIONS: The proposed Print shall be engraved in the best style, by one of the first Jlrtists in the United States.
