Hence, each number will contain select Biography of eminent Judges and Lawyers—Extracts from scarce and valuable publications—Opinions of foreign Jurists upon cases sent from Virginia and North Carolina before the Revolution, never before published —Arguments and Opinions of Judges and Counsel in important cases—and such Essays as have a tendency to enlighten the progress of Public Sentiment on certain projected alte rations of the Law, particularly that deeply interesting topic, the reformation of the Cri minal Code. Speeches of merit on subjects of permanent interest, discussed in the Legisla ture, will occasionally be inserted. Conditions—Each number will contain from 140 to 160 octavo pages, printed on fine medium paper, and with an elegant new type, cast in Philadelphia for the work.

From the Richmond Enquirer. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF THE LATE DOCTOR RUSH. All that is perishable of Rush, hath sought the tomb The dread minister of fate, whose lance he hath so often broken, has at last fearfully executed his warrant. The social and enlighten ed friend, the patriot of the revolution, the pre-cminent physician, is alas for ever hid from mortal eye but he has left behind him, in his labors, a monu ment whose duration will be coeval with time itself—and the western hemisphere will long be warmed and illumined by the bright splendor of his intellectual and moral excellence. Doctor Benjamin Rush was one of those rare and transcendant models of Worth and wisdom, whose memory the heart of man delights to cherish— Henceforward he will rank with the few illustrious worthies who, at distant and uncertain periods, have been permitted by a beneficent Providence to visit the world to exhibit to mankind a bright example of stedfast and triumphant vir tue—to enlarge the boundaries of hu man knowledge—and to adorn, and ex alt, and glorify their native land. On the decease of any individual whose mind hath been illumined by the hallowed fire of genius, or whose breast the rays of an active and comprehensive benevolence have warmed—the public interest is usually manifested in an eager and laudable curiosity, to know the par ticulars of a life thus uselul and distin guished. Towards its gratification in the present instance, I have little to of fer; and where facts can be produced, it is unpardonable to indulge conjecture. To a more intelligent and able pen, therefore, the American public must look for minute particulars respecting their illustrious countryman in the mean time the following hasty and im perfect memorial may not be unaccepta ble. Dr Rush was born near Philadelphia, and received the elements of his profes sional education under the auspices of the late Dr. Redman of that city. At the usual age he crossed the Atlantic, and remained several years at E i burgh, prosecuting his medical studies, w th what success his numerous publications bear ample and honorable testimony. The university of the Scotish metropo lis enjoyed at that time the highest re putation as a school of medicine, which was supported by the herculean abilities of Cullen, Monroe, Duncan, Gregory and Black; under such preceptors, it cannot be doubted, that the eager and ex cursive mind of Rush had omple range for its brightest and highest energies. In the bright blaze ot light, however, with •which this seminary was invested, a clear and impartial eye could not fail to discern the semblance of not a few opaque spots of traditional and consecra ted error, which floated on the surface. Such was the eye of our ingenious stu dent, who first warily examined, then doubted, and finally fairly cast ofl’ the fetters nn which a blind and prescriptive veneration for established names and an tiquated dogmas would have bound him But a new era was silently effecting in medicine, and about this time the Elements of Brown were ushered to the light Rush, with the exclamation of Nunc Lusit, refulget” on his lips, hailed the dawn of more correct princi ples in his ait, of which this system was the prototype, with propitiatory and grateful emotion. R gardless who was his leader, whilst truth shone on the b, ..msrs, hr was amongst the first in whom the merits of this work found a willing advocate and it is not the light est of his praise, that whilst he invaria bly condemned the pernicious practice which this system details, he has pos sessed sufficient candor to own himself indebted for some of his leading princi ples in the sanative art, to its great but ill-fated author —an author, it may be added, who amid the billows of adversi ty, the persecution of his enemies and the gloom of a jail, with that firm confi dence in his strength which only great minds can experience, nobly maintain ed the superiority of his system, and braved the ingratitude of mankind. Under the auspices of this admirable physician, the medical school of Penn sylvania was making rapid advances to wards the attainment of full grown re putation and fame. He has given to American medicine “a local habitation and a name he has enriched the insti tution of which he was the brightest or nament, with the prodigious extent and variety of the most important facts and observations, illustrative of the pheno mena and treatment of diseases, in ad dition to an endless diversity of interest ing theories, no less correct in their ap plication, than ingenious and beautiful in their contexture. He has innovated on every department of science, how ever connected with his favorite pur suit he has, in fact, razed to its founda tion the ancient Gothic and gloomy su perstructure of medicine, and on the ruin has erected a mighty and most magnificent edifice, of which he is the undoubted and sole architect, around the firm base of which, the billows of envy and detraction will waste their fu ry in vain. During the visitation of that malig nant epidemic in the year 1793, which like a tremenduous hurricane, carried consternation, ruin and death on its wings, wc contemplate Rush in a new and more interesting phasis. Cool, in trepid, undismayed—collected within himself, and resting on the fruitful re sources of his own gigantic mind, like a skilful and experienced pilot—he brav ed, buffetted and weathered the storm. Whilst the groan of dissolution and cry of despair resounded on every side when the minister of an avenging desti ny stalked around with fearful and por tentous strides, and the protecting ge nius of Philadelphia seemed forever to have abandoned it—at this awful and ap palling period, the church-yard-directed march of the slow and solemn hearse, was oft happily contrasted by the whirl ing chariot-wheels of Rush—who like a ministering Angel with healing on his wings, with the rapidity of lightning traversed every part of the devoted city, and every where encountered, wrestled with, and vanquished the destroyer. In the bright colorings of transcend ant genius, the milder and less obtru sive tints of the portraiture are net al ways discernable —but in Rush, the rare disinterestedness of his heart equalled the vigor and activity of his mind his beneficence, the indigent and unfriend ed will long remember. Surrounded by a polished, liberal and opulent socie ty, and enjoying that grade of practice to which his established reputation so justly recommended him—he was never to be shaken in the bright orbit of bene volent but onerous duty in which he had destined himself to revolve, by any local considerations of present conve nience or prospective emolument. Hi» light step was oft heard in the bye paths and alleys of Philadelphia—and the af flicted inmate of the hovel or the hamlet, has oft borne grateful testimony to the vigor of his remedy, and the liberality of his hand. “In misery’s darkest caverns known, “His useful care was ever nigh, “Where hopeless anguish pour’d his groan, And lonely want retired to die.” “No summons mock’d by chill delay.” In the year 1806, business of a press ing nature required my presence in Phi ladelphia. In the course of a morning excursion through that city, my atten tion was attracted by the unusual ap pearance of a group of young men, who with eager and anxious looks were hast ening towards a splendid building at a little distance in view—it was the new edifice dedicated to Medical Science. Prompted by curiosity, I entered, the impressive 8c interesting figure who, the next moment, rivetted my eye, was the high Priest of the Temple—it was Rush himself! Ten years during which I had not beheld him, had made some altera tions in his person and costume. His hair, braided and secured behind with a black ribbon, was now silver white— and the invidious artist Time, had been silently busy on his temples—the wont ed glow of benevolence still mantled his features—and his penetrating grey eye continued to emit the living lustre, the Mens divinior of genius—his light and fragile form seemed to have admit ted neither increase nor decay, and the simple suit of hodden grey in which it was arrayed, was identically, positively the same. From the vast repository of his capacious mind, fraught with the spoil of ages, he was unlocking the rich treasures of antiquity, and scatter ing the luxuriance of modern improve ment. The lecture which he was de livering was introductory to his annual course on the Institutes and Practice of Physic”—it was on the Opinions and Modes of Practice of Hypocrates.” I shall not pause to investigate its me rits as an abstract medical dissertation, but shall simply advert to the high and commanding eloquence which its pro gress involved—and such was the effect of this, that my mind was imperiously hurried back to the days of ancient Greece through the dim vista of more than two thousand years, I beheld the Father of Physic—the illustrious Hypo crates. Mild in his appearance and dignified in his deportment”—attired in all the exquisite simplicity of his character, that divine old man arose to my view—a sun beam of Heaven-born inspiration played among the grey locks which thinly waved down his shoulders —Pale—contemplative—abstracted, be appeared calculating the critical days of fever, or investigating the doctrine of the -temperaments. The vision was complete but fleeting. Every artery of my heart responded to its impression —I was suffocated with emotion—l cast an anxious and appealing glance at the speaker; but, alas! my sensa tions, intense as they were, were but a feeble echo of his who had awakened them. He was chain-bound in the spell ©f enthusiasm. Trans fixed—agitated—absorbed-—lost in the variety and overwhelmed by the inten sity of his feelings—the Hyppocrates of America stood before me—his lofty and upraised brow was deeply impressed with the seal and signet royal of un bought nobility—a kind of mysterious Halites floated before him. His eye was illumined by the glare of a holy fervid devotion—a third agitation—a supernatural vivida vis anima” gleam ed in his features and darted through his frame—every lineament spoke and ever muscle uttered wisdom—the ef fect was awfully sublime—powerfully painfully impressive; it resembled the fable operations of invisible serial spir its. It filled me with tumultuary and superstitious emotion—l was on en- chanted ground—and my friend was the grand magician, who animated, and governed, and directed the sorcery of the scene. Such was Rush the last time I ever beheld him: the images of this day are yet engraved on the tablet of my me mory—they will remain there until the hand they inscribes this feeble tribute to his memory, is cold and examinate as himself. J. R. M. Culpepper, ^th May, 1813. FROM THE LONBON COURIER, The leading Ministerial paper, of March 22. Wc have extracted from the Ame rican papers the report of the com mittee of Foreign Relations, containing a view of the relations of the United States with this country. It dwells en tirely upon the grievance of impressing American seamen, and concludes by recommending the passings bill for the excluding of foreign seamen from the public vessels and merchant service of the United States. The bill has been passed in the House of Representatives by a majority of 89 to 33. It imposes a penalty of 1000 dollars on the comman ders of men of war, and of 500 dollars on the masters of merchantmen, for every foreign sailor employed by them, to be recovered in a qui tarn action by a common informer. The American legislature may pass what bills it chooses, for excluding foreign seamen from their ships, but if they think that any such measures will induce us to abandon our right of search, and of taking our own seamen and subjects wherever we find them, they will find thhmselves, at least we trust they will, totally mistaken. The right of search is one of such vital in terest to our power, that to surrender it (we had almost said even to modify it) would be treason. This seems to be now the only ground upon which Ame rica has taken her stand. The orders m council have been repealed—the concessions upon the subject of block ade have left no ground of dispute upon that point —the only remaining subjects of controversy is the right we claim of impressing our own seamen, when lounu on board of American vessels. The government of the United States asserts the broad principle, that the flag of their merchant vessels shall protect the mariners. This privilege is claim ed, although every person on board, ex cept the captain may be an alien. 'Che British government asserts, that the allegiance of their subjects is inali enable in tune of war, and that their sea men found on the sea, the common highway of nations, shall not be protect ed by the flag of private merchant ves sels. The claim of Great Britain to the ser vice of her seamen is neither novel or peculiar. The doctrine of allegiance, for which she contends, is common to all the governments of Europe. France, as well as England, has maintained it for centuries. Both nations claim, in time of war, the services of their sub jects. Both, by decrees, forbid their entering into foreign employ. Both re cal them by proclamation. The right of impressing our own seamen, when found on board Ameri can ships, is only a renewal of the right of search—and this Mr. Madison has in his official paper disputed also, for he says our flag like the soil, we inher it, must secure all that sails under it.” Yet this principle of the right of search has been repeatedly admitted by Ame rica, in her negociations, not only with Great Britain, but with France, in alli ance with whom she now attempts to subvert it. The 17th article of the treaty of amity commerce, and naviga tion between Great Britain and Ameri ca dated 19th of November, 1794, es? tablishes the right of search upon the high seas—the 14th article confiscates enemy’s property; and the 27th article regulates the mode of search. But as if to leave America without a shadow of excuse in the present case, the 9th article of the convention between her and France, dated November 14th, 1718, admits the right of reclaiming seamen who may desert from the ships of the respective nations—and binds each power to deliver them upon being claimed—so that, whether America means to contend the right of search generally for enemies’ goods contra band of war, or merely against the par ticular right of Great Britain reclaim ing her own seamen, she stands self condemned by her own existing treaties, as well as by the law of nations. Even one of the Senators of the U. States is with us on the point, for he says Great Britain never contended for a right to impress American sea men. The right she claims is to take her own subjects found in our mercan tile vessels. She exercises this right in relation to her own private vessels. This right she never will, nor can give up.” The ground and principle of the war, as now exhibited by the Ameiican go vernment is plainly and incontestibly this— America is at war with Great Britain for the iioerty of withdrawing British subjects from the allegiance they owe to their native country, and Great Britain is at war with America for the maintenance of her undoubted right to the services of her own sub jects. FROM TUB BOSTON PATRIOT. UNTHINKING BOSTONIANS. At the very time when Commodore Rodgers and Capt. Smith weighed an chor and sailed out of the harbor, to fight as they had reason to believe, a bloody battle with two British frigates and a seventy-four—at that solemn mo ment, when our brave naval comman ders, filled with anxiety, under the great weight of responsibility, having the lives of a thousand men, and the honor of our nation pressing on their brave hearts—at that time, so big with the probable event of a terrible battle, and so every way calculated to impress the mind of an American with awful reflections, our unthinking Bostonian Federalists were parading the streets in one of the most ridiculous and con temptible pieces of pageantry that ever disgraced the metropolis of Massachu setts. It ought to be remembered that it was a federal party business, a second part of the Russian feast folly and that the end and aim of it was to hold up Washington against Madison. It was a Jesuitical contrivance to impress the minds of the young, the unthink ing, and unreasonable part of the com munity with a new superstition, and to inculcate this false dogma, that Wash ington and Madison were of different political principles whereas there is not a shade of difference between ei ther their principles or their conduct. Were Gem Washington now Presi dent of the United States, he would not vary half a point from the course which President Madison is now steering. He never for a moment felt the disposition of forming an alliance with England, and having war with France. Who that has any regard to morality or de cency would wish for any close connec tion with a power whose Prince Regent is so far from doing credit to his nation that he is almost a disgrace to his spe cies witness his Nero-like conduct to his wife, the mother of his daughter, the future queen ofEngland. His bar barity to this woman, who is the daugh ter of his father’s sister, and whose virtues would add lustre to his throne, and his other corrupt conduct, would never have induced the moral Wash ington to have cast his eyes towards such a wretch. On viewing this silly parade, our im pressions of the ridiculous turned to disgust, especially on seeing two or three hundred little boys dressed out with artificial flowers, and the white rose of the Duke of York, brother to the P ince Regent, upon their breasts, and Washington’s legacy tied round their necks. Such pretty boys may have been a pleasing sight to the Presi dent of this self-created society, and might be viewed with pleasure in a dancing hall; but to be dressed out in the garb of opera dancers, and paraded to swell and set off a ridiculous caval cade of old boys was absolutely con temptible, more especially when we consider that it is corrupting the minds of our children by impressing upon them a falsehood. It is debauching' their minds. It is changing truth into a lie, when we inculcate the dogma that we owe every thing to Washington. We, who remember the war of the re volution, know better. Our forefathers fled from the tyranny of Popish and episcopal superstition and we have justly prided ourselves in living in a country, and at a period when superstition has been forced to hide its head before the religion of rea son. But here we see a combination of men, whose express intention, is to raise up a new superstition. The su perstition of Washington From the same anti-American party, that has taught the false and impious doctrine that England is the bulwark of our holy religion,” we hear such epithets as these—the God-like Washington” our Saviour Washington”—“ our advocate in Heaven”—“ the father of his country”—“ the founder of the A merican Republic,” &c. &c. Those contrivers and managers of this new superstition ought to be held up to the public as contaminators of the rules and morals of youth. They ought to be stigmatised for collecting and car rying these children into a solemn place of public worship, and amidst prayers and hymns, to hear from a poli tical fanatic, a language, and a current of sentiment that deserves the deepest execration that words can express, from every friend to the union senti ments that have a tendency to inspire us with hatred towards our fore-fathers and western brethren. Instead of this political rant and un dignified invective, let parents tell these little boys that the high and hono rable epithet of father of his country, and father of the American people,” belongs not exclusively to George Washington. And let the ministers of religion inform them that the epithets of God-ike,” and of our saviour Washington,” and our advocate in heaven,” are considered by many, as bordering on blasphemy. Instead of having Washington’s legacy bound in Morocco, dangling at their necks, let care be taken that the principles of this good and great man be bound up in their hearts, as one of their best guides of political life and as containing a so lemn warning against these very self created societies, these jacobinical, or jcsuitical clubs which disturb the pub- lie harmony, engender strife, and lead to rebellion, which leads to the gallows. We were rejoiced to learn that none of our national officers followed in this motley train. We indeed saw some gentlemen in it whom we thought ought to have known better, possibly they did, for they hung their heads and look ed ashamed. We close these hasty remarks by ob serving, that not a word was uttered in any of the prayers, or allusion made in any of the odes to our gallant little squadron, then sailing down the harbor to seek victory or death.—This shows the hypocrisy of the party, who in fact no more wish success to our ships on the ocean than they do to our flotilla on the lakes. “THE BULWARK OF OUR RELIGION.” The British, it seems, are determin ed to falsify every thing that has been said of them, by their friends. Bri tish humanity f was trumpeted in our ears without relaxation, until the mur ders at Queenstown and Frenchtown were committed—since which her ad vocates have been silent on that head. Great Britain has done us no essential injury,” exclaims the hoary headed leader (not of battalions nor of regi ments) but of the British party in America”—my lord Ci>stlereagh gives this the go-by, by acknowledging in the House of Commons, that seventeen hundred impressed Americans are now on board the British navy. Britain is the bulwark of our religion,” exclaims governor Strong, in the fullness of his Z eal—in proof of which the defenceless town of Havrc-de-Grace is wantonly at tacked—and the principal p rt burnt down—finding nothing in it to gratify their passion for plunder, these bul warks impiously assailed the house of God, and after attempting to set it on fre, vented their Jury against it by means of brick bats and stones, and nearly demolished all the window's— this was done principally by the officers, the sailors having been comparatively moderate and humane. Aurora. Tender mercies” oj the blacks. It is well known to our readers that Christophe, Emperor of all the Hay ties,” under the expectation of extin guishing all opposition to his imperial will, some time since marched with a powerful force against Port-au-Prince, occupied by his rival, Petion, which place he besieged but part of his troops revolting, and meeting several reverses, he was foroed to retire, pursu ed by his opponent, who had well nigh put a period to the imperial dynasty and even to his sable majesty himself. He however, succeeded in returning to his capital, where he governs with all the tyranny of a despot, and, as ever* where tyranny exists, the people abhor and fear them. The following relation we have from a gentleman who lately left that Is land, and we think it entitled to credit; Christophe on his way to the Cape, knowing the disaffection of the people, learnt that the women had sent money to supply Petion’s troops, and that on the news of his (Christophe’s) defeat, they went in grand procession headed by two French priests, and sung Te Deum for the victory. In consequence of this, on his arrival at the Cape, he caused the same prececssion to pro ceed from the Cape to fort Picolet where having first drowned the two priests, he caused the whole to be put to death, amounting to 1500 persons. rBEDEKICKTOnJY SEMLW RF, MARYLAND.

WASHINGTON CITY. MONDAY, MAY 17. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE Chillicothe, May 8, 1813. By the last mail I enclosed you a H&nd bill, which contained the latest news then from Fort Meigs, since which time we have received further accounts; which state, that General Clay’s Ken tucky troops which lay some distance behind, fearful to march on to the Fort, had made an essay to relieve it, and that 800 men had got safe in—having lost only 7 men in the attempt. We are quite elated with the hope this will turn out to be true. Three companies of volunteers com manded by captains Rutledge, Fitch, and Jones, leave town to-morrow for Fort Meigs—they will be joined by two companies from over the river (Scioto) commanded by Major Dawson—one company of 80 of our best blood com manded by Captain Dunlap—-old Gene ral Massie has just come in at the head of 50 volunteers to form another conq pany, and it is expected the whole of Col. Denny’s regiment will join them— so that Ohio and Kentucky will yet, from the determined spirit they mani fest, teach Colonels Proctor and Elliot a lesson—they ought to have learnt long ago. von THE NATIONAL INT^LLIOLNCER. A Hint to British Editors. The London editors, announcing the destruction of H. B. Majesty’s ship Java, by the U. States frigate Conslitu tion, wonder at the continuation of our good fortune, and acknowledge them selves at a loss for the reason why the naval flag of Great Britain, heretofore invincible by superior force, has, in so many recent instances, been struck to an enemy of equal force And why the American navy has not yet been swept from the ocean but her flag ever flown triumphant in the midst of enemies so far superior in force and number? They do not doubt the courage or skill of their officers and seamen they believe them to be the same as ever. They no longer complain that their ships are old and their masts defective they allow that the enemy has destroyed some of their^nes? shifts. But, unwil ling to acknowledge that they have been fairly beaten, they centre their upbraid ings in the government, and complain of a defect in the administration of naval affairs. At all events, they insist that something must be wrong. It is true, that something is wrong; but they wilfully shut their eyes against it. The courage and skill of their offi cers and seamen are the same as ever their ships are not defective but their cause is unjust. Do they consider that they fight for the impressment of seamen and their enemy against it Do they reflect that they are bringing seamen to fight against their own cause, and that although their courage may be undimi nished, they will not direct it against themselves Do they imagine that the cause of impressment is popular among their seamen Have they not learned that their men prefer becoming Ameri can prisoners rather’ than continue to be British slaves Do they not know that it is in the power of their gunners te direct every ball into the ocean, rather than against those whom, although de nominated their enemies, they consider their friends Else why have our ships received so little injury Can they deny that their crews are enervated by long confinement and cruel service This is the wrong, and they will not get it right. On the other hand. Do they recollect that the American ships are not, as has been asserted, a few rotten frigates, with a piece of striped buntline at their masts;” but, that tiiey are Hearts of oak,” whose masts bear a flag which has never been struck to any foe Do they know that our naval skill and discipline are superior to theirs Do they con sider that our seamen, from the com mencement of every action, reflect that they are fighting each for his individual self That many of them have expe rienced the miseries of impressment, and perhaps hope, should they be victo rious, to liberate a brother or a father Can they expect that men who fight under the influence of such feelings as these, will ever suffer the flag which protects them to come down No, sir, (as one of their own most brilliant ora tors has said) sooner than strike to such o principle, they will nail their co lors to the mast, and go down ship and crew together.” Yet, sir, there is a further considera tion. Could I believe that a fieculiar Providence ever watches over the affairs of men, I should say, it has been exer cised toward our little naw. Our vic- tories have been so brilliant and (to the enemy) totally unexpected, that, it should seem, they were destined by the Great Ruler of events, to subvert the intolerant pride of the Mistress of the ocean.” The destruction of the Guer riere might have been regarded as ominous. After having committed more enormous outrages, and displayed more native pride than, perhaps, any other ship on our coast that this ship should have afforded the first example of our vengeance, and been totally destroyed in so short a time, seemed to say to the world—“ Behold how America can re dress her wrongs.” These are considerations which should pass through the minds of En glishmen, when they hear of an Ameri can victory. They should not lay their misfortunes at the door of only the ad ministrators of their naval affairs but of the administrators of their general government. When they would enquire into the causes of a defeat, let them also enquire into the causes of the war, and while they mourn the loss of their naval glory, let them seriously reflect, that however a nation’s power may enforce a temporary awe, —Justice alone can ensure a permanent respect. NATURALIZED CITIZENS The declaration in the concluding paragraph of Admiral Warren’s letter o general Miller, implies the adoption of a principle by the British govern ment extremely injurious to the safety and protection of the United States at this moment; as it is calculated to de ter all naturalized citizens, who were born subjects of the King of Great Britain, from defending the soil that supports, and the government that pro tects them. It certainly demands that prompt and decisive measures should be adopted by our government to retali ate any injuries which that class of citi zens may suffer from that cause. Baltimore, May 14. The followiag letter of General Mil ler to Admiral Warren, was sent with a flag by major Hanson, with instruc tions to proceed with all possible dis patch to the admiral’s ship, that the protection of the government of the U. States might be extended in defence of a citizen, from dangers they believed to manace him. Admiral Warren’s an swer^follows. Head-quarters, Baltimore, May 8, 1813. Sin- —It becomes my duty to repre sent to your excellency, that a citizen of the Upited States, and an inhabitant of Havre-de-Grace for the last fifteen years, named O’Neale, has been recent ly taken in arms and in defence of his property and family at that place by a detachment from H B. M. fleet, serv ing under your command and that the said O’Neale has been menaced with immediate and capital punishment, as a traitor to the government of his Britan nic majesty, on the ground of his being by birth an Irishman. Nothing in tKe course of public duty would be more painful to me than the obligation of re sorting to the law of retaliation on this or any other occasion but, sir, in the event of O'Neale’s execution, painful asfmay be the duty, it becomes unavoid able and I am authorised and com manded to state to your excellency, that two British subjects shall be se lected by lot or otherwise, and imme diately executed. It is for your excellency to choose whether a character of such barbarism be or be not given to the war waged un der your immediate direction. I beg, sir, that you will do me the honor to accept the assurance of my very great respect and consideration. HENRY MILLER, Brigadier-General. His Excellency Sir John Borlase Warren. H. M. S. San Domingo, Chesapeake, May 10, 1813. Sir-—I have to acknowledge the re ceipt of your letter of the Blh instant, respecting a man named O’Neale, tak en by a detachment from the squadron, under the orders of rear admiral Cock burn. This man has been released u pon the application of the magistrates of Havre-de-Grace, on parole. I was not informed of this man being an Irish man, or he would certainly haye been detained, to account to his sovereign and country for being in arms against the British colors. I have the htmor to be, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant, JOHN BORLASE WARREN. New- York, May 14. The frigate Macedonian, Capt. Jones, went down to the Hook yesterday morn ing, and anchored near the frigate U. States. The manoeuvres of the enemy outside the Hook are distinctly seen from our frigates. The firing off the Hook on Wednes day afternoon, was from the Valiant and Acasta. They had stripped the schr. Margaret Mead, and were practising their crews by firing at her hull. Arrived the brig Spartan, Jeffrey, 40 days from Cadiz. On Monday, close under Montaug Light, was boarded by the Ramilies, 74. Same day, spoke the privateer. Young Teazer, from N. York, clear of the 74. The brig Eagle, Wil- Hams, 46 days from Cadiz. April 3, to the S. and AV. of Cape St. Vincent, dis tant 200 miles, spoke privateer Gov. Tompkins, 30 days from New York; had made no prizes, but was then in chase of the British Packet Amelia, which, it will be seen under the Boston head, she captured after an action of 40 minutes. Off Block Island, on Monday, spoke ship Orazy, of Baltimore, 5 1 days from Lisbon. The Eagle was boarded on Sunday, off New London, by the Orpheus frigate, 20 minutes after she had re-captured a ship, prize to the Paul Jones. The prize was deep load ed, coppered to the bends, yellow sides and painted ports. The Orpheus, that day, took two other ships, and two schooners. The sloop Cornelia, Holdridge, from Savannah for New York, on Friday last was discovered to be in flames, and was run ashore near Barnegat—vessel burnt with the cargo, crew saved. The Cor nelia had previously been chased by a 74. It will be recollected that this sloop has made six or seven very short and successful voyages since the war. Arrived, the fishing smack Hiram, Sisson, yesterday, towed up the hull of the American schr. Margaret Mead, which was given to capt. S. by the com mander of the British blockading squa dron. On Thursday morning, the A casta’s barge, with an officer and 8 men, came on board the Hiram. The moment the officer stepped on board the smack the barge put off and reach ed the Jersey shore, about three miles to the southward of the Highlands, and the men made their escape. Another boat was sent to take the officer from on board the Hiram. Relative to the Capture of York. By an express who arrived here on Wednesday last, from Niagara, the E ditor of the Argus has been furnished with the following interesting particu lars relative to the capture of York, which are derived from an authentic source. Balt. Fed. Gaz. The enemy’s force amounted to 1200 men, and consisted of regulars, militia and Indians. He lost 300 in killed and wounded, mostly regulars, and 400 ta ken prisoners, principally militia. A 32 gun ship, nearly ready to launch, was burnt on the stocks, and a vessel mounting 12 guns, and another mount ing 8. were captured in the harbor, and have been added to our squadron. Our troops found in the place nearly 10® cannon, among which were several handsome pieces of brass ordinance, a great quantity of fixed ammunitions and naval stores, Indian goods, and se veral hundred barrels of pork and flour. The cannon and naval stores were des- tined for the enemy’s use on the upper lakes. Our loss was principally occasioned by the explosion of the magazine, and amounted to 54 killed and 196 wound ed—of the latter six died previous to Saturday last. The wounded were con veyed to Niagara, where Gen. Dear born arrived the early rart of last week. There was but one man killed on board the squadron, and but one wounded. In fifteen minutes after the shipping anchored, the intrepid Forsyth had his riflemen landed and formed upon the beach—the infantry immediately joined him. The charge upon the enemy, who covered the bunks, was impetuous. Not an officer or soldier, it is remark ed, shrunk from his duty. The enemy were closely followed into the fort, and the British flag pulled down by Captain Forsyth. Sergeant Murphy, of Capt. Marthar’s Albany volunteers, was a mong the killed, and two privates of the same corps, whose names we have not learned, were wounded. The inhabitants received our people with open arms, and numbers of the militia had come in and entered their parole. Meditated attack upon Bort George. The troops on the Niagara river, un der General Lewis, were concentrat ing near Fort Niagara, batteries were constructed, and the necessary mea sures adopted preparatory to an attack upon Fort George. Com. Chauncey arrived off Niagara with his squadron on Saturday afternoon, and it was con fidently believed that the attack would be made on Monday last. Gen. Harrison. —An express from Gen. Harrison reached Niagara just before our informant came away, on Saturday, a»d brought advices that Fort Meigs, at the Miami Rapids, was close ly invested by the British and Indians. The express left Albany on Wednes day the sth, reached Niagara on Friday, left there on Saturday afternoan, and returned here on Wednesday morning, having rode about 700 miles in seven days and nights.

'THE GAZETTE OF THE UNION, AND JOURNAL OF THE STATES. PROPOSALS. THE subscriber respectfully offers to the Public, Proposals for a National and State Gazette, to be published daily, in the City of Philadelphia, under the title above mentioned. The two distinct names of the proposed Ga zette have been selected, as pledges of its real design and of its intended course. For it is believed, that the value of a National body poll tic or union, upon the principles of the Federal Constitution, and the value of the component bodies politic or several Stales, upon the princi ples common to their separate Constitutions, are so great, and the necessity for such a Fede ral Union and for such component States, is so absolute, that they are respectively indispen sable to THE FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE, and to THE PROSPERITY and THE INDE PENDENCE of our Country. Though it is true, that there is a sufficient motive for aright plan of government in the intrinsic value of personal liberty, the first of these great objects, it is certain that the attainment and preserva tion of the national prosperity and indepen dence, were among the real causes and the just ends of the establishment of the several States, and of the first and second Confederation or Union Our oaths and duties too, bind us to support our existing constitutions, both social and federal As to our temporal concerns then, we ought affectionately and honestly to live together under this Federal and State System while, as to our spiritual concerns, we happily abide under the Divine authority. With such conceptions of our institutions, our duties, our rights, and our interests, the office of editor of the proposed Gazette will be attempted to be performed by the subscriber. He declines professions and promises, in a case wherein he has not made a trial. It seems better, that his fellow citizens form an opinion of the prospect of his rendering public service, by means of the various commercial, manufac turing, and other disquisitions, which he has submitted to his country since the period of the decline of lite old confederation. He will confine himself, on the present occasion, to a solemn assurance, that he will proceed in the proposed establishment with the utmost respect for truth and decency, as a very high duty to the public and to himself and he considers it as an encouraging reflection in this attempt, that Franklin and Addison were never reproach ed, in any other situations, for the manner in which they performed their editorial functions. It is proposed to pay the utmost attention to the collection and publication of useful infor mation, concerning every branch of the national industry for which purpose documents are respectfully requested and communications in vited. The Gazette of the Union and Journal of the States” will be printed on paper and types of the usual size and quality of those of the daily publications, at Eight Dollars per annum, payable half yearly in advance, it will be dis tributed dady, to Subscribers 'within the usual walks of the Philadelphia carriers, and will be forwarded to all other Subscribers by such conveyances as they shall respectively point out A country paper, containing all the matter of the daily paper, except the advertisements, will be published three times a week, at Five Dol lars per annum and a weekly paper at Three Dollars per annum Advertisements and other business for the Pi inting Office, which will be connected with the establishment, are respectfully solicited. They will be executed on the usual terms. TENCH COXE. Philadelphia, May 12, 1313.

Jan. 14— (CIRCULAR?! TOMON-RESIDENT LAND HOLDERS IN OHIO. Chillicothe, (Ohio) March 16th, 1813. SIR—-After seven or eight years faithfu services rendered you as an agent for your Lands in this state, I am induced once more to address you, and also all other non resident proprietors of land, whose interest is concerned in the state of Ohio. The rate of taxation, since my last general circular, (March 1810) has remained the same to wit: First rate land, §1 25 cents—Second rate, I—and Third rate, 65 cents per 10® acres and even at this enormous rate of taxa tion, if the taxes are not paid annually on or before the last day of December, 100 per cent, on the taxes due is incurred annually for five years; and (if the taxes and penalties are not paid in the intermediate space) the land is to be offered for sale to die highest bidder. The first sale under this law must take place in December 1815 Although these conditions are hard enough, yet they are better than former, which required annuil sales in cases of non payment of taxes, and at best was but an annual sacrifice of land to satisfy the grasp of hungry speculators In addition to the present weight of taxation, the direct taxes of the general government must be anticipated at no distant date, (possibly for the year 1814:) these must require equally your attention with the state taxes. Under circumstances so discouraging to those who hold property in this state, it has ever been my desire to see a plan devised for their relief, especially from the great weight of taxation which must fall on their lands next year; and am happy to state, that I have made arrangements with the assistance of others, for the encouragement of actual settlers and now make the following propositions, the first of which, if acceded to, will completely secure the desired object. PROPOSITIONS: I.—l will undertake to sail land in this state, (being regularly empowered) to those who will make actual settlements, on a credit of from sto 7 years; the payments to be made either annually or all at a given time; the land to be sold st the customary price and it the money is not paid at the expiration of the 5 or 7 years, the whole amount to bear interest from the date of the purchase; and in case of five years, to give 1 or 2, or in case of seven years, to give 2 or 3 additional years for the payment of the principal and interest; which if not paid within the last given time, the land, with the .mprovements which shall be agreed to be put thereon, shall revert to the original proprietor. No deed to be made ’till the money is all paid. The contract to be secured by-an article of agreement drawn for the purpose, and the purchaser bound to pay the direct and state axes from the date of purchase till he re ceives bis title or the land is forfeited. Remarks. —On these terms, all kind of land will sell which can be settled-; the terms being better than the Congress sales, the five years would embrace the best land, and the 7 years sale the inferior. If the ;and reverts to the original proprietor, the value will be enhanced five times the first price in consequence of the improvements, and will readily sell for four or five times its first value. Under either the confirmation or forfeiture cf the contract, the seller will be drawing interest on the whole amount of his lands, clear of the incumbrances of taxes and penalties and the purchaser, if he tails in his contract, will have enjoyed the premises as long as is customary to lease for the shortest periods in this country, though stimulated by the purchase to make better improvements than under a lease Such an arrangement, I am advised, will also prove salutary to our infant but fer de country, and a great accommodation to the industrious poor _ My commissions for transacting business on he above terms, will be from six to ten per cent on the amount of sales or such propor ion of the land in lieu thereof as may be agreed on. The expenses of surveying and the taxes till sold being paid by my employer ll.—Should my first proposition not be agreed to, I wjll undertake the payment of raxes on lands, for a certain proportion of the land for a given period, on condition of my receiving a power of attorney to sell my pro portion for the purpose of raising money to pjy the taxes. lII.—I wdl underiake to attend to old neg lected cla ms, such as have been sold for the taxes, or abandoned from other circumstances as lost, which may possibly w.th some difficulty (ora pari, thereof) be regained by a compro mise, provided a title can be obtained rom the original proprietor, on condition of my receiving one bad cf what I may secure. IV.—l shall con inue to undertake to attend as Agent to the Re >gee Uia.ms, and request an early at entiuu of any who hold them—to claims in the "Viiyinia Military District—the location of Virginia Mil-ary Land Warrants on continental establishment—to claims in the U. S Military District, in the Onio Company’s purchase, and Congress Lands owned by non residents, on the s^me terms as heretofore proposed -n my former circular and will un dertake the collection of dents on commission. N B.—l will purchase from 5 to 6 or 7000 acres of land in the Virginia Military District, ying over the Indian boundary line—or on ffie waters of Darby, Mill, or Boke’s Creek, or Mad River, be.lo>v he boundary line, if to be had on good terms. All letters directed to me must be post-paid, and the writer’s place of residence and address given. The condi tions specified in this circular are not in any a-ay to aflect the arrangements heretofore made with my old friends and employers un less they wish it. With great respect, I am, Sir, vours, &c. &c TH.'S. HINDE. The editors of newspapers at the seats of government of their stales would, doubtless, render an essential service to many of their patrons by giving the above an insertion in their papers.

SCOTTS NEW POEM. R. C. Wei^htman has received, RO KE BY, A Poem By Walter Scott, Esq. Price gl l 12 1-2. AN ACCOUNT OF LEE’s PATENT AND FAMILY MEDICINES, CELEBRATED FOR THE CURE OF MOST DISEASES TO WHICH THE HUMAN BODY IS LIABLE, PARTICULARLY WORMS, COUGHS COLDS, Asthma, Consumption, Gout, Rheuma tism, Sprains, Palsy, HEAD-ACHE, TOOTH-ACHE, CORNS, Itch, Diseases of the Eyes, Ring Worms, Tetters, &c. Inward Weakness Nervous Disorders, Female Com plaints, Hooping Coughs. A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, Sore Throats, and approach ing Consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. A single trial will prove, that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the com mon healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough viscid phlegm or mu cus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, sheathes the acrimonious humor which irritates them, and totally discharges it. Thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symp toms are of course effectually and permanent ly conquered, the reverse of common medicines which weaken the constitution, and vigoa strength to the disorder, for the sake of mo derating for the present some of its painful enects. To Parents who have Children afflicted with the WHOOPING COUGH. This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the pro gress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it. TOOTH-ACHE DROPS. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immed ate and lasting relief in the most severe i net unppQ HAHN’s ANTI BILIOUS PILLS, For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Ma lignant Fevers. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off su perflxous bile, and prevent its morbid secre tions w restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspirstion, and thereby pre vent colds which are often of fatal conse quences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are cele brated for removing habitual costiveness, sick ness at the stomach, and severe head aches, and ought t® be taken by all persons on a change of climate. HAMILTON’S WORM-DESTROYING LOZ- ENGES.
