The enemy how on the coast and in our wa tern, will and must get provisions; and perhap aitempt something more serious Then flying artillery and cavalry wou’d be very useful, by the advantage of transporting themselves ra pidly. The slow movements of the useful infantry, would, in these cases, give sufficient lime to the enemy to debark, plunder add re embark themselves, or to form and fortify but to effect the destruction of the enemy, or to prevent their progress, cavalry in transport ing themselves rapidly muSl be in good order, and their horses must be as well trained as the rider must be perfect in riding How many horses are there which would charge aga nst she fire of the enemy A fencing master on horse back is as a riding master on board oi a 74 The individual defence consists in the know ledge of riding, and in the horse being well tra ned.

Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives. The situation in which lamagain placed im poses a duty upon me, by every exertion in my power, to promote the internal safety of my fel low citizens; their approbation of my conduct the last j ear is peculiarly grateful, awd it leads me to hope that my services in the year to come will be considered with the same indulgence without, it, I feci my incompetence at this diffi cult season, to discharge in a satifactory man ner the duties of the office which 1 have under taken. In pursuance of the authority given by the resolve passed at the last session of the Gene ral Court, empowering the G vernor with ad vice of Council to adopt certain defensive mea sures for the protection of the towns and har bors in the Commonwealth three judicious persons, skilled in military affairs, were com missioned to carry into effect the intentions of the Legislature, expressed in tbe resolve. The Secretary will deliver you a report of their pro ceedings under that commission. By a law of the U. S. passed in April, ISOS, the annual sum of two hundred thousand dol lars was appropriated for the purpose of’ provid ing arms for the militia of the U. S.; to be transmitted to the several states in proportion to the number of the effective militia in each state and to be distributed under such regu lations as should be prescribed by the st ate Le gislature. In compliance with the request of the iate General Court in their resolve above men tioned, I applied to the Executive.of the U. S. and requested such supply of muskets as might be conveniently furnished, and as might be con sidered the proportion to which this Common wealth was entitled. A copy of the answer to this application, which I have received from thu Secretary of War, will also be laid before you. As we are engaged in war with a nation of great maritime strength, your attention will be directed in a particular manner to those parts of our extensive sea-coasts, where the people are most exposed to depredations, and being deprived of their usual means of support, have already suffered severely, and are in danger of still greater evils. I have no doubt you will be disposed tQ afford, them every assistance they may. stand In need of, within the power of the state government. It belongs to the national government to protect each of the states in the Union, and to provide for the common defence but if an invasion should be made or attempt ed on any part of our coast, I am confident that our militia would promptly and with cheer fulness exert their utmost endeavors to re pel it. We are bound to obey 7 the laws made in con formity with our constitutions: but those con stitutions ensure to us the freedom of speech, and at this momentous period it is our right and duty to inquire into the grounds and ori gin of the present war to reflect on the state of public affairs, and express our sentiments concerning them with decency and frankness-; and to endeavor, as far as Our limited influence extends, to promote by temperate and constitu tional means an honorable reconciliation. By an unnecessary war the deepest guilt is incur red, and therefore every belligerent nation should inquire which of the contending parties is chargeable with that guilt. when war was declared against G. Britain, our complaints were chiefly founded upon her Orders in Council, and though they were re voked within four days after the declaration was published, it wilt be useful to attend to them when we are considering the necessity of that measure. .In November, 1806, the French em peror issued his Berlin Decree, declaring the British islands in a state of blockade, and for bidding any commerce or correspondence with them to this succeeded the British Orders in Council, and other French Decrees, some of which were of a still more exceptionable cha r; ct er. Although the decrees of Berlin and Milan, and the orders in council, were injurious to neutral rights, it would be uncandid to sup. pose that the direct object of either nation was to injure the commerce of neutrals- 7'he French decrees might be thought necessary by that government to effect the subjugation of Great Britain and the orders in council were declared by the latter to be retaliatory mea sures, adopted in consequence of the aggres sions of her enemy, and to be revoked when those aggressions ceased. In their arduous struggles they seemed to have thought only of themselves and whde those struggles continu ed, we must have known that our commercial intercourse with them would be exposed to nu merous embarrassments but we were consol ed with the reflection that these would be coun terbalanced by the advantages we derived from the war in Europe. Indeed-it is probable if our government had maintained a system of impar tial neutrality, and had imposed no restrictions on trade, that notwithstanding those decrees and orders, we might, by reason of our neutral character have enjoyed a commerce more lu crative for the last seven years than would have fallen to our share, had the whole world been at peace. In May, 1810, the Congress directed that the non-intercourse act should cease as to that bel ligerent which should first so revoke its edicts as that they should cease to violate our neutral commerce; and Jtbat it should operate on the other which should neglect so to do within three months after the President’s proclama tion declaring the fact that, such revocation hud taken place. On the 10th of August following, the Dkke of Cadpre, in a letter to our minister in France, stated that the Berlin and Milan de decrees were revoked, and that after the first of Nov. then next, they would cease to have effect, it being understood that the English should revoke their orders in council and re nounce their new principles of blockade, or that the U. S. should cause their rights to be res pected. This letter was considered by the President an absolute repeal of the French de crees, though it appeared to many persons at that time to have been only a provisional re peal upon conditions that might never happen, and was not confirmed by any instrument of which the courts or people of France were obliged to take notice. The President, how ever, on the 2d Nov. 1810, announced by Pro clamation that the decrees of Berlin and Milan were revoked; and in March following the Congress passed a law confirming that procla mation, and the revival of non-intercourse against G. Britain, When our government was thus committed, it was the policy of the French emperor to con vince the British nation that his degrees were not revoked, and he took effectual measures for that purpose. His public ships by his au thority and under his instructions, committed depredations on our commerce, and burnt our vessels; the French cruisers and privateers captured them, and they were condemned in the French courts; nor has France made the least reparation for the plunder. On the 31st of March, 1811, the emperor declared to his council of commerce, that the decrees of BerUn and Milan were the fundamental laws of his empire. Many other declarations of this kind were made by the French government, and though our ministers remonstrated against them as containing no exception in favor of the U. S. and requested some authentic act of the French government to justify our national mea sures, no satisfaction could be obtained. If the President had then revoked his proclamation, the numerous evils that have followed from that unfortunate measure might have been prevent ed. But as if the French emperor was deter mined to put our government in the wrong, the Duke of Bassano in May, 1812, when it might be presumed that war between this coun try and England would take place, produced to Mr. Barlow a degree which bore date the 28th of /April, 1811, repealing the decrees of Berlin and Milan, and assigning as the cause of the re peal the Actof Congress of March, 1811. To suppose, therefore, that the Freech decrees here repealed on the 2d of Nov. 1810, involves the absurdity that the effect took place long before the cause. At the same time that the above decree was produced by the French minister, he informed Mr. Barlow that the decree had not been pub lished, but declared it had been communicated to our former minister in France, and likewise sent the French minister here, with orders to communicate it to Mr. Monroe. On the cor rectness of this statement it may be improper to form an opinion until our government ex plain the transaction. But of this we may he certain, that if that decree was made in April, 1811, according to its date, it was concealed for the purpose of producing a war between this country and G. B.; for the party who con cealed it well knew that if the decree was known in England the orders in council would be revoked. If the decree bore a false date, and had n®t been communicated to our minis ters, no man either in the administration or among the people, can hereafter doubt concern ing the character of the French government or the impositions practised upon us. The principal remaining alledged cause of hostility, is the impressment of seamen from our merchant vessels. The war in Europe opened to these states such an extensive field for commercial enter prize, that it might have been difficult to pro cure immediately such numbers of American seamen as could profitably be employed. .Our wealth and navigation increased with a rapidi iy which has never been exceeded; many thousands, therefore, of British seamen desert ed that service for a more safe and lucrative employment in ours; and greater numbers might have resorted to us if they had not been apprehensive that the British navy would re claim them. But if there had been no compe titors from abroad, as men will always employ their industry in the manner they find most ad vantageous, the high price for that species of labor would soon have induced a sufficient number of Americans to become seamen in that case the danger of impressment by British ships would have been prevented. It appears, therefore, that British seamen have been pa tronised at the expense of our own; and should G. B. now consent to relinquish the right of taking her own subjects, it w ould be of no ad vantage to our native seamen, it would .only tend to reduce their wages by increasing the number of that class of men. The British government has never claimed a right to take our native American seamen had such a claim been made, we should all have united to resist it. Great Britain only claims the right of taking her own subjects from neu tral merchant vessels. In doing this, from a similarity of language our citizens have some times been subjected to imprisonment. But so far as I have heard they have been discharged when application was made in their behalf, and evidence found of their citizenship, in some in stances there may have been a wanton exercise of power by the impressing officer, but it is impossible for the best regulated state, wholly to control the actions of its subjects or re strain all its military and naval officers in their distinct operations, from insolence and oppres sion it is therefore a rule of national law, that the faults of individuals shall not be imputed to the nation, unless they are approved and ra tified by government. Some abuses mukt undoubtedly happen from the difficulty of distinguishing Americans from Englishmen. But it appears from the examin ation already made, that these abuses have been greatly exaggerated and that only a small num ber of native Americans are in the British ser vice, who have not voluntarily engaged, and of these the British minister before the war re quested our government to furnish a list that measures might be taken for their discharge. It is probable that more than one-third of the native American seamen belong to this state, and three-fourths are supposed to be from the state of New-York and New-England; if the number detained in British ships had been great, the complaints would have been loudest from this part of the Union but the fact Las', been quite otherwise. You, gentlemen, repre sent every town in the Commonwealth, and will be able to ascertain how many of your neigh bors, are held without their voluntary consent, in the navy of G. Britain. All the European nations agree in founding allegiance upon the circumstance of nativity; they claim and treat as subjects, all those who are born within the confines of their dominions, although removed to another country in their youth. This doctrine of allegiance is also the common law of our own country, and as such, it often has been, and probably always wid be recognized by our courts. The sovereigns of Europe have also univer sally assumed the right of prohibiting whenever they please, the departure of their subjects out of the realm and we are told by the most ap proved writers on the law of nations, that a state lias just cause of complainti gainst anoth er which entices away and employs its useful subjects. That every government has a just claim to the services of its subject in time of war, and that all those who abandon their country when in danger are deserters which she has a right to punish. It was upon this principle that our laws for the confiscation of absentees’ estates were passed, and if the prin ciple is unsound those laws were unjust. Great Britain complains that we have allured her seamen into our employment, by holding, up superior inducements to them to quit her" service and engage in ours, and this too,' at a time when she was contending for all that was dear to her against the most formidable and efficient force that in any age of the world has been united under one head. She asserts thdt her seamen are essential to her safety; that though, they are not liable to be taken from our national ships, and we have a right to protect them while they remain within our territories; yet if they pass into her dominions, or if in transacting their own affairs on the highway of nat ions they come within her power, she has a right to take them in virtue of her prior claim; that the nations of Europe have for ages claimed and exercised this right, and that she can never relinquish. it so long as wo employ her seamen, without endangering the existence of her navy. What hope of peace then, can be reasonably entertained while such a sacrifice is required of her A nation ought first to do justice to others before it demands justice of them when war was declared, we kpew that Great Britain had suffered greatly by the desertion of her seamen into our service; but had we done any thing to prevent or discourage it though siie alleged that they were necessary for her defence; and to us they were only use ful as the means of acquiring wealth. In the war between France and England we professed to be a neutral nation. This amount ed to an engagement on our part that we would in all things shew an exact impartiality between the contending parties; and policy as well as justice demanded of us an equal attention to both. But have we maintained this exact im partiality towards the belligerents Have not the restrictions upon our own commarcc been so calculated as deeply to wound the interests of G. Britain, without impairing the resources or disturbing the continental sys tern of her en emy We have expressed a just sympathy for our seamen who are detained in British ships; but have we shewn a like sens.bility for those who are confined in French prisons until dis charged by enlisting on board their cruisers I When the war commenced, had we not receiv ed as many grievous insults from the French government as from the British, and. in what manner have we resented them /Although in proportion to her maritime means of annoyance we had suffered much greater losses from France than from England, has not our lan guage to the former been mild and conciliating, and have we not to the latter indulged in of fensive reproaches and undeserved asperity Men who sincerely desire peace, will not em ploy themselves to multiply the causes of dis pute and excite jealousy and irritation between the people of the two countries; they will rather allay the passions than inflame "them, and will think it no diminution of our dignity, if in doub’ful cases we recede from a supposed right, rather than support it by artifice and vio lence. It has been often asserted that our national honor compelled us to engage in a war with Great Britain. The honor of the nation consists in the display of its wisdom, justice, moderation and magnanimity it requires the government to regulate its conduct for the greatest advan tage of the state and to pursue that sei ies cf measures which most effectually promote\ the welfare of the people. But that species of i. nor which would prompt us to wage war for every supposed instance of abuse or disrespect, is not the honor of a wise and moral people. A proud or passionate individual will sometimes claim arightto sport with his own life; by put ting it in hazard against the life of another. But, few men will avow that government ha< a right to expose the safety of the stale, and the lives and fortunes of the citizens, merely to indulge its passions, or gratify its ambition. So far as conpuest may be considered as the; object of the present war, its policy, to say no thing of the justice of it, must be extremely doubtful. A few individuals may gain by an offensive war, but the great body of the people have nothing to gain or hope for. In republics, the increase of power and wealth has often oc casioned severe calamities by increasing their pride and arrogance, and inspiring rash coun sels and extravagant measures. But vyhen they have beqn successful in foreign war and ac quired the title of conquerors, I think they have invariably and speedily lost their form of gov ernment. A man who has a large army at hi» control, must have the virtue of a Washingtoa not to make use of it for his own aggrandize ment. The national constitution was formed for our own defence; there is not a clause in it in which the extension of our territorial limits was contemplated. The Congress indeed were authorised to admit new states into the Union but every man knew that under the Confedera tion it had been proposed to firm, a number of* states in the western territory, and Vermont was even then a' candidate for, admission. T presume that no one thought of giving Con gress the power to obtain by purchase, or con quest, the territories of other nations, and an nex them to the United States, and form them, or subdivisions of them, into constituent parts of the Union. A suspicion has been intimated that the hos tility of the Indian tribes was excited by Bri tish influence. As no proof has been offered to us on this subject, it might be sufficient to say, that regard to vague and uncertain suspicions exposes a notion to become an unjust aggres sor. But has not our conduct towards theses tribes been often oppressive and unjust, and! have we not indulged an eager desire to obtain, possession of their ands, when we had already millions of acres which we could neither culti vate, nor dispose of? Perhaps the late un friendly disposition of the Indians may be ac counted for, by the march of an bos He army into their country, and the battle which ensued, many months before war was declared against England w In the present moral state of the world, it Would seem that our political friendship should be formed with some regard to tk.4: state. But are we encouraged by the moral qualities of the French government to take part in its wars Or will any one say that l!ie cause of France is more just than that of Spain, Portugal or Russia or that her success would be more conducive to the happiness of man kind Or should wc cultivate the friendship of France, because she can do us more mitirv than England or because her manners, reli gion or policy are more congenial to ours In our embarrassed and alarming situation, it is indeed a very favorable circumstance that the people have so generally expressed their utter aversion to a French alliance such an alliance would be the greatest calamity, and must pro duce the most fatal effects. It is my wish, gentlemen, in making these observations, that they may lead to a dispas sionate review of our conduct towards England and France, and of theirs in relation to us., While we attend to what is due to ourselves, we are not to forget what we owe to others and in cases liable to the least doubt, the claims even of an enemy should be imp r.iallv examined. Lt upon such examination we are convinced that the war is necessarv, we shall be justified in affording our voluntary aid.ta support it. But if we discover that our opinions or measures have been erroneous, we have the strongest motives bo h from interest and duty to relinquish them. Ave may indeed deceive ourselves, and even resolve to cherish the de ception but the Supreme At biter to whose retributive justice the most solemn appeal has been made, cannot be deceived, and will'not with impunity be mocked. In times of parly zeal and/mblic commotion, it may be difficult on some occasions to discern what is right. But I hope that with a fixed at tention to tiie duties imposed on us by our na tional and state constitutions and with a hum ble reliance on the. divine direction, the mem bers of this government will, in this perplexing period, preserve consistency of conduct and ad here with undeviating constancy to the princi ples of justice and truth.

WASHINGTON CITY SATURDAY, JUXE 5. NEWS FROM THE LAKE. ATTACK UPON SACKETT’S HARBOR. AND DEFEAT.OF THE ENEMY. We stop the press to insert the fol lowing which has come to hand by the Western mail. It is from the Utica Gazette extra of Sunday. EXTRACT OF A LETTER, BATED SACKETT’S HARBOR, MAY 29. 11 The British fleet, of live or six sail, were discovered off our harbor early yesterday morning. By 9 o’clock it was reduced to a certainly that it was their intention to land. Alarm guns were immediately fired, and every pre paration made to give them a warm re ception. A light wind and some other causes prevented their landing until 4 o’clock this morning, when they effect ed it, with considerable loss. The ac tion continued warm and general until 6 o’clock, when it terminated in the re treat of the enemy to their fleet. I am notable to give you the number of killed or wounded on either side, but it is considerable on both. Lt. Co|. Mills, of the volunteers, is among the slain. Col, Backus, Ist regt, light dra goons, is said to be mortally wounded Two General Officers of the enemy wer« found dead on the field. It is un derstood that Gov; Prevost commanded the enemy. Gen. Brown commanded our forces and fought bravely. The enemy are now making out of the har bor. You must wait for particulars. In haste, Bcc.” By to-day’s stage from the west, we learn that on the 25th inst. Fort George opened a fire upon some of our boats, when a general cannonading took place all along the frontier. In a short time pot a block-hougs or a wooden building \>f any kind was standing in or near the British fort, while our side had suffer ed ncr loss or injury. An immediate ^movement was expected. Com. Chauncey arrived off Niagara on Friday the 2 1 st. GAZETTE OFFICE, BUFFALO., Tuesday evening, May 25, 9/:. P. M. Fort Niagara, May 25, 7h. A. M. In attempting to bring some of our boats down the river, they were fired upon from the opposite shore this brought on a cannonading all down the lines. Not a hou^e or barrack is left standing in Fort George. All have been burnt. Not a man injured on our side. A movement will be made im mediately. roll THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. Copy of a letter from fVnt. Bainbridge, .Esq. commander of the Constitution frigate, tp a gentleman in this city NAVY-YARDj CHARLESTOWN, May 26, 1« 13. Dear Sir —l enclose to you a copy of a certificate from lieutenant Hoffman, which I will thank you to have pubish cd in the National Intelligencer in Washington, to remove any erroneous impressions teat may have been created by a former certificate from lieutenant Hoffman, which was published in the National Advocate; and from which an inference might be drawn, that I had left American seamen in bondage, it, there fore, became necessary, in justice to my self, to obtain a correct statement, which I wish to be published as above re quested. Very sincerely, I am, dear sir, your friend and humble servant, Wm. BAINBRIDGE. I, Beekman Vebi>lank Hoffman, lieutenant on board the United States’ frigate Constitu tion, conceiving that the certificate given by me in Poughkeepsie, on the sixteenth day of April ultimo/respecting American seamen be ing found on board the British frigate Java, may be construed differently from the real Lets and my meaning, am induced to make the following explanation: Of the thirteen seamen stated in the certifi cate referred to, I had no other authority for be lieving them to be Americans than their own words^ excepting eight of them who were pri soners of war, taken in the ship William, of Portland, and who, together with two impressed American seamen, were immediately liberated on getting on board the frigate Constitution. The Other three told me, on board the Java, that they were American seamen, married in Eng-’ land but I have no other proof of their being Americans than their bare assertions. And 1 do not know' or believe, that they ever declared themselves to be Americans while on board the frigate Constitution. I certainly did not make any report of them after my return to the ship. (Signed) B. V. HOFFMAN. May 25, 181 In our preceding columns we have presented to our readers the speech of the Governor of Massachuset’s. It is such an one as we expected from a man who has already shone conspicu ously as the governor, not of a peo ple, but of a party. That quality which is so great an or nament and indeed a requisite to most state papers, a dispassionate stile, is no recommendation to this speech. Had it been dictated by feeling and inflated by rage, the heat of passion might have excused its matter but there is a deli beration of manner, a settled purpose running through the whole, which en titles it to a different character. Albany, June 1 The age of virtuous politics is past, And we are deep in that of cold pretence”. The whole speech is a deliberate de fence of the enemy, with a view solely to the inculpation of our government. Instead of concluding with a determina tion to support the general government in the war, however he might doubt as to the expediency of declaring it— instead of betraying the least sympathy for his countrymen in arms—the speech terminates in a mist of obscurity, as if the writer hesitated for a conclusion j and in this respect forcibly reminds us of the conduct of the militia, conta minated by federal doctrines, who halt ed on the bank of the Niagara, to deli berate in the heat of action whether they should cross the stream, to succor or save their fellow citizens engaged in a sanguinary conflict. But admitting, what we totally deny, that the Governor of Massachusetts is correct in his facts and conclusions—to what end has he, instead of attending to the concerns of the state, entered into this investigation Why has he, a self-created censor,” arraigned the conduct of the government whose con stitutional acts he has sworn to obey Why has he labored with the zeal of an advocate in the defence of the enemy Is Gov. Strong desirous of honorable peace Then has he adopted the course best calculated to defeat his own wishes. Is he desirous of ignominious peace— of a peace to be purchased by the sur render of those great rights which are now in contest Then, indeed, arc the means adapted to the end—the end to the means. Perhaps, however, a pa per less exceptionable than this speech could not have been looked for at the hands of a man, who is the chief of what the enemy has shrewdly but in sultingly called the non-combatant” party in this country. Wm. Jones, Esq the Secretary of the Navy, has acted also as Secretary of the Treasury since the absence of the He'ad of that Department on the mis sion to Russia. An English brig, prize to the priva teer Governor Plumer, arrived at Ports mouth yesterday. The Governor Plu mer took three other valuable prizes previous to her own capture. A letter from New London, dated yesterday, (28th May) states that the schr. Boscar, Boysori, 56 days from St. Barts had just arr. there, informing, that he was boarded the 26th, off Montaug, from the British frigate Orpheus. The Lieutenant of the Orpheus informed him, that two frigates and a seven ty-four were cruising close in with Montaug waiting for commodore De catur’s squadron, which was expected every moment from New York—That on the 27th, lie (captain Boyson) saw several sail about 6 p. m. 10 miles from New London light, standing down Sound, supposed to be commodore De catur’s squadron. The letter adds, that two schrs. have been cruising off Nt w-London, for the last three dajs, supposed to be tenders to our fleet; the intormation from the Orpheus would make them English and his object in stating them to be English, was proba bly that captain Boyson might not give information to commodore Decatur. The privateer ship Invincible Napo leon, of 16 guns, arrived at Portland ©n Wednesday night last, prize to the pri vateer schr Young Teaier, Johnson, oi New York, of 5 guns, captured off Ha lifax, without resistance. The fate of this ship is truly extraordinary, She wus originally a French privateer from Bayonne, and after capturing 8 prizes was taken by the British brig of war Mutine, after a warm action. A few days after she was fallen in with by the Alexander of this port, and the British prize crew surrendered her without re sistancc. She had arrived within sight of Salem, when she was chased ashore at Cape Ann by the Shannon and Te nedos frigates, who succeeded in get ting her off', and ordered her for Hali fax, and again, within a short distance of her port of destination, she is com pelled to change masters for the fifth time, and is at last safely moored in an American port. Salem Register. GOVERNOR STRONG’S SPEECH. Boston, May 29. CONGRESS. FRIDAY, JUNE 4. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Pitkin presented the petition o the Darby Fishing Company, praying a remission of certain forfeitures and pe nalties incurred for an unintentional vio lation of the non-importation law, by introducing within the waters of the U. States a vessel loaded with produce of the British West Indies. The petition having been read, Mr. P. moved to refer it to the committee of Ways and Means. Some objection was made by Mr. Wright to the reference of this petition, because it was not proper to legislate on particular cases, and because he looked upon this as one of a questiona ble character; but the opposition was withdrawn on the representation of Mr. Pitkin of the circumstances of the case, and Mr. Wright contented himself with expreesing his hope that if any provi sion resulted from the consideration of that petition, it would be of a general and not a particular character. The petition was referred. Several petitions in the nature of claims, and others of a private nature, were presented and referred. Mr. Fisk, from the committee of Elections, made a report on the memo rial of Wm Kelly, contesting the elec tion of Thomas K. Harris, a sitting member from Tennessee, which was re ferred to a committee of the whole. COMPENSATION TO VOLUNTEERS, &c. Mr. Shnrp offered for considera tion the foilowing resolution. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire what provision ought to be made for the compensation of the mounted riflemen who were called into service from the state us Ken tucky in the year 1812, and that the committee be authorised to report by bill or otherwise.” Mr. S. said it might be necessary for the in formation of some gentlemen not acquainted with the fact, to state that the troops alluded to in this resolution were those called out last autumn from the state of Kentucky. At the time that Detroit was surrendered, and Chica go Lad fallen into the hands of the enemy, there were but two forts in the western country which resisted their encroachments. These were Fort Wayne and Fort Harrison, defended by small garrisons which were likely to fall into the bands of the enemy, being at too remote a distance to receive immediate succor at the hands of the general government. It was then th At the gov ernor of Kentuckj was applied to for a force for their relief. The citizens of Kentucky, with their characteristic patriotism, immediately marched forth to their relief, and defended the frontier until a regular force could be organized and marched. The services they rendered on this occasion were prompt, voluntary an 1 effica cious and he hoped that there would be no he sitation in considering this subject and making the necessary provision for their compensation. Mr. Grundy said it was far from his inten tention to oppose the object of the motion. But he would suggest one considerrtioh, which might induce thegentleman to agree to give it a different direction. That many measures had been taken by the Governors of several states, as well as by officers of the army, by which expences had been incurred not au horised by law, was a fact well known, particularly to those who represented the Western country. It seem ed to him that this and similar propositions ought to be referred to a committee, who could act generally on the subject; and let all Con cerned know what might be expected to be done on Ibis head. If particular cases were referred to particular committees, individual and local feelings, of which no man can or ought to divest himself, would perhaps influence them to decide coutrarily, &c. He therefore moved that this subject be referred to the Military Committee. Mr.S/iarpconsented that his motion should take that course. Mr. Goldsborough said that he considered all cases in which the force of the country had been called out for its defence as standing on the same ground; and was of opinion that all the expenses of the militia and other forces called out by the state authorities for the de fence of the soil, ought to be defrayed by the general government. He therefore hoped the gentleman would so modify bis motion as to make the enquiry general. Mr. Sharp having declined to connect his motion with any other question, with the merits of which he was not acquainted— Mr. Goldsborough moved to amend the mo tion by adding, after the words 1812” the following And also for defray ng the expenses of the Militia called out under the state authori ties for the defence of the country against the in cursions of the enemy.” Mr. MKee pointed out what, he conceived to be an obvious distinction between the two cases proposed to be blended in this motion. The object of his colleague’s motion was to enquire into the propriety of compensating those who had marched, not to defend their particular state, not their native soil, but a dis tant and exposed frontier; whilst the amend ment proposed to embrace those who had de fended merely their own firesides. It was not imperatively the duty of Kentucky to send out her forces but she was influenced by circum stances, and the impossibility of the govern ment acting with sufficient promptitude and efficacy. He was therefore opposed to j ining things which were so distinct in their nature. Mr. fgright was in favor of the original mo tion but lie hoped the House would not feel indisposed to consider also the claims of those who with equal zeal had defended the maritime frontier from an enemy of as perfect a savage character as those savages whom the Kentuc kians had gone out against. He honored the patriotism of Kentucky he honored her exer tions but it was proper also to consider .the claims of other sections of the Union. The cases were made ex pari materia, and ought not to be separated; he hoped, therefore, they would all be referred to the military committee, and that no line would be drawn between th® exer tions of different parts of the country. Mr. Goldsborough hoped the inquiry would be general. He could not see the full force of the distinction drawn by the gentleman from Kentucky. He would ask, where was the dif ference of obligation to defray the expence of defending one part of the country or another? The same obligation had relation to ail. For instance, he said, £he militia of Delaware had been called forth to the defence of Lewistown some few troops had been drawn from Penn sylvania for the like purpose. Were not the United States in this case as much bound to pay those called from Delaware as those from Pennsylvania. He did not say, as a positive proposition, that all the expences of defence ought to be reimbursed by the general govern ment; but he did say that in directing the at tention of a committee to this subject, the rule should be general. He hoped no disposition would prevail to give to one state an opportu nity of making larger drafts from the treasury than another. Mr. M' Kee disclaimed any intention, in mak ing a distinction, to excite unpleasant feel ings but there still appeared to him to be an obvious distinction between militia called out for the defence of their own firesides, and those marching for the defence of a distant territory. He had no objection to the proposed amend ment, if in a separate proposition but he still thought they ought to be kept distinct. The amendment proposed by Mr Goldsborough was agreed to by the House and also another amendment suggested by Mr. Jennings to add the words and the territorial” before the word governments.” The resolution, as amended, was then adopted, nem. con. CONTESTED ELECTION. On motion of Mr. Fisk, the House re resolved itself into a committee of the whole, Mr. Lewis in the chair, on the report this morning made on the peti tion of Wm. Kelly, which report con cludes with the following words: Resolved, that until be allowed to Thomas K. Harris, a member of this house, to procure testimony relative to his election.” The petitioner was allowed ter take his seat at the bar of the house to sup port his right. Some conversation took place on the time which ought to be allowed. Mr. Kelly (the petitioner) declared his resolution to oppose the granting to Mr. Harris of any time to procure evi dence. The blank was filled with three months and the question stated on the adoption of the resolution as amended. Mr. Kelly then opposed the report of the committee, on the ground that he was now entitled to the seat occupied by Mr. Harris, and ought not therefore longer to be kept from it. The burthen of the proof, he contended, now rested not on him but on the sitting member. Mr. Harris then defended his right to his seat, and stated facts on which he grounded the belief that further evi dence would but confirm him in his seat, by a much greater majority than that by which he was declared to be elected. Considerable further debate took place when the committee rose with out coming to any decision. And the house adjourned to Munday. ChilicQthe, May 25. We learn verbally, that the citizens of Michigan have, with a liberality wor thy of imitation, purchased about sixty of the Kentuckians taken by the In dians in the late action, and that they are now on their way home. If the re port is, as we believe, correct, it will reduce the number of those actually killed or missing to somewhat less than an hundred. CONGREVE ROCKET We hear that a piece of the cqmposi tion of a Congreve Rocket picked up at Havre-de Grace, having been transmit ted to the President of the U. States, he sent some of it a few days ago to Thomas Cooper, Esq. chemical profes sor of Dickinson College, Carlisle. This gentleman has so far ascertained the constituent parts, and their proportion, of this combustible substance, as to make a composition in color, consist ence, taste, odour, and combustibility so nearly alike to the Congreve Rock et, as to remove all doubt of their simi larity, and equal competence for any destructive purpose. As to the form and shape of the Spring Rock ets, Mr. Beath of Boston, in the pre sence ofCom. Rodgers, Capt. Hull and others, succeeded in throwing a rock ets of six pounds weight two thou sand yards which is 500 yards beyond the Congreve Rocket of 12 lbs. weight. The Cylinders of Mr. Beath’s rockets are made of iron, terminating at the head with a cone 12 inches long, which may be charged with balls, or combus tible matter springs are attached to them when the object is to fire shipping. The two inventions combined, may put us on a par as to these instruments of destruction with the British whose rigging may ere long feel the effects of machines introduced by themselves. Cumberland Register. Fredericksburg, June 2. We are informed by capt. Reynolds, of the schr. John, arrived here yester day, that two British frigates are lying between Watt’s Island and the Eastern Shore, nearly opposite the mouth of the Rappahannock. They have several cruizers out, which capture every thing that appears in the Bay. Capt. R. was bound to Alexandria f om the E. Shore, in company with another vessel, which was captured capt. R. narrowly escap ed, and got into the R ippahannock. On the 22d ult. a small vessel was chased into Punkateek (E. Shore) by one of the British cruizers, and was gal lantly defended by a party of militia on shore. The cruizcr was beaten off with the loss of its commander and 7 men killed, and several wounded two of the militia were wounded A VIVID PICTURE. The following extract of a letter from, a respectable and amiable officer of the Army, lately or now in Boston, to one of his friends, presents a lively but lamentable picture of the state of so ciety in that town. Our beaders will perceive with astonishment, what we have frequently before heard, but until now have been inclined to discredit, of the effect of violent party spirit. We are proud to say, that a very, very different state of things as yet exists in this district, notwithstanding the ef forts made by a few factionists to dis turb the harmony of social intercourse: As for myself, I am most unpleasantly situ ated. The opposition to the war is such, that every military man comes in for a large share of odium. I might as well think of walking on the water, as of getting into society here. Indeed 1 have entirely given up the idea. A Russian bear would be caressed, ,but an. Ame rican officer is a being whom it Would be cri minal to be civil to. Here are one or two Br i tish officers, prisoners of war, who positively do not look like gentlemen, that are seen at alt times walking with our ladies, and riding with the gentlemen. Oh, New England I lam ashamed of you. The successes of the British elate, whilst those of our own country depress. I have heard the burning of Havte-de*Grace and Frenchtown justified, and the destruction of Little-York called a d-~—d rascally pro cedure I BUT” The Rev.

Hence, each number wdl 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 Crh minal Code.

This medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of similar title so commonly com plained of as operating with violence on the contrary, a particular excellence of this re medy is its being suiied to every age and con stitution. It contams nothing but what is per fectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate preg nant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the sto mach and bowels of whatever is foul or of fensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms, and many fa al disorders HAMILTON’S GRAND RESTORATIVE, Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of Nervous disorders, Consumptions, Lowness of Spirits, Loss of A ppetite.
