My long and continued ill health, will com pel me to relinquish my present pursuits —I therefore offer for sale, the Printing office and establishment of the FETERSBURG INTELLIGENCER. This establishment is one of the oldest; and (I have no hesitation in saying) one of the most valuable in the State of Virginia. The sub scription list to the paper is very respectable, and daily augmenting.—The advertising cus tom is extensive, and highly lucrative.—At the present time, there are perhaps few situations that afford more certain means of a steady and genteel support. The patronage awarded to the paper, is not fleeting and uncertain—for more than 27 years it has continued to lend its cheering influence, and to reward (amply re ward) the zeal and industry of the various pro prietors. At no time since the existence of the establishment, has this patronage flowed more warmly than at the present period. The Printing-Office is abundantly supplied with every requisite material—has always had and will no doubt retain (under proper manage ment) a full share of employment in the vari ous branches. The price of the Establishment and other particulars, may be known by written or perso nal applications to me. Letters (postage paid) will receive respectful attention. (pj 3 Persons who have subscribed, and paid in advance to a certain period, as well as those who may continue to do so, are assured, that, in case a sale is effected, an arrangement will be made to insure them their papers during the full period for which they may have paid.

•'f A* b ^*4 V !iSM WASHINGTON CITY. TUESDAY, JUNE 29 Copy of a Leiter from Lt. Budd to Hie ScCy df the Navy, dated Lia Ufa x, June I sth 1813. .Sir—The unfortunate death ofCapt. James Lawrence and Lieut. Augustus C. Ludlow, has rendered it my duty to inform you of the capture of the late U. State s Frigate Chesapeake. On Tuesday June Ist, at 8 A. M. we unmoored ship and at meridian got un der way from President’s Roads, with a light wind from the southward and Westward, and proceeded on a cruise. A. ship was then in sight in the offing which bad the appearance of a ship of war, and which, from information re ceived from pilot boats and craft, we believed to be the British Fligate Shan non. We made sail in chase and clear ed ship lor action. At half past lour P. M. she hove to, with her bead to the southward ai d eastward. At SP. M. took in the royals and top gallant sails, and at half past five hauled the courses ip. About 15 minutes before 6P. M. the action commenced within pistol shot. The first broadside did great ex ecution on both sides, damaged pur rigging, killed t m ong others Mr AVhite the sailing master, and wounded C-TL Lawrence. In about 12 minutes after the commence ment of the action, we Lil on board of the enemy and im mcddately alter one of cur arm chests on the quaitcr deck was blown up by a hand grenade thrown from the enemy’s 'ship. In a few minutes one of the Cap tain’s aids came on the gun deck to inform me that the boarders wer'r called. I immtd'alrly call- d the boar ders away and proceeded to the spar deck, where I found, that the enemy had succeed' d m boarding us and had gained possession of our quarter deck. I immediately gave orders to h- til on board the fore t wk, for the purpose, of shooting the ship ciear of the other, and then made an attempt to regain the quarter deck, but was wounue.d and thrown down on the gun deck. I again made an effort to collect the boarders, but in the mean time the enemy had gained complete possession of the ship. On my being carried down to the cock pit, I there found Capt. Lawrence and Lieut. Ludlow both mortally wounded; the former had been carried below pre viously to the ship’s being boarded the latter was wounded in attempting to re pel the bouidcrs. Among those who fell early in the action was Mr. Edward J Ball rd the 4th Lieutenant and Lieut. James Broom of Marines. I herein enclose to you a return of the killed and wounded, by which you will perceive that every officer, upon whom the charge of the ship would devolve, was either killed or wounded previous ly to her capture. The enemy repsit the loss of Mr. Watt, their first lieute nant; the purser; the captain’s c^rk, and 23 seamen killed and c. pt. Broke, a midshipman, ami 56 seamen wounded. The Shannon had, in addition to her full complement, an officer and 16 men belonging to the Belie Poule, and a part of the crew belonging to the Tencdos. I have the honor to be, with very great respect, Sec. GEORGE BUDD. The Hon. William Jones, Secretary oi the Navy, Washington. [Ariturn of all the killed and wound ed is in our possession, and shall be published i.i our next. J We have information from our Army at Fort George as late as the 22j, when all was well and Gen. Dearborn, having in seme degree recovered from his severe indisposition, had resumed the command of the Army. The remonstrance of the Legisla ture of Massachusetts against the War, was yesterday presented to the Senate by Mr. Gore, and read. After it was igiecd, Mr. Varnum presented the pro test of the minority of that Legislature* against the pernicious doctrines con-- tamed in the violent document to which we have alluded which was also read. No further proceedings lock place in relation to these pipets. DELAWARE BLOCKADING SQUADRON. Wilmington, Del. June 25. On Tuesday last the Statira frigate was the only blockading force inside the Capes. The gun boats went down the bay on Wednesday for the purpose, we presume, of attacking the Statira. Ilf DIED, At New-Alexandria^ Westmoreland county, Fenn, on the 17th Inst. Gen. William K£e». had long enjoyed public confidence, and nehi at th« lime of his death the office of Ad a taut-General of the Militia of Pennsylvania. HAMPTON, TAXEN. LEDGER OFFICE, Norfolk, Friday, 25th June. Until this morning the enemy made no movement of importance. About 5 o’clock the British mads an attack by land and water upon Hampton. One party landed about 5 miles above that place, while another proceeded directly by water. Our information is derived From a person who saw what passed from this side of Hampton Roads. He states that the firing was kept up for 1 hour and 45 min. when it ceased, and he distinctly saw the barges row into the creek and land at Hampton. Thu firing fiom the fort ceased with that of the musketry. We cannot state what became of the troops stationed there, but it is to be hoped they have escaped. The force was, as we understand, be tween 6 and 800. Two houses were set on fire by the rockets, but our informant thinks the fire was extinguished. Richmond, June 26. Brought by Exfiress this morning, at one o'clock in the night of the 25th of June. Mr. Scott has this moment arrived from York—he informs that an Express had arrived there about one o’clock yesterday with the dreadful melancholy news of the capture of Hampton.— This express was sent to an officer of the 115th regiment who was in York, from colonel Howard, ordering him to repair to tl Halfway House between Hampton and York, as Hampton had been taken possession Of by the enemy. I shall order my regiment out immedi ately—the greater portion to rendez vous at Williamsburg the balance a^ York. In haste. Yours, with respect, &c. WILLIAM WALKER, Col. Commandant of the 68th Regiment V. M. James Barbour, Esq. BL7 3 The Express is an intelligent man, and states the attack commenced yesterday morning at 4, by water. Con greve Rockets led the way, which set fire to Hampton—The enemy had ef fected a landing at Hampton—they were met gallantly by our militia Mid Maj. Gowan L. Corbin, of York county is killed'—and capt. Robert Anderson of Williamsburg, either killed or taken prisoner—they are both brave men— strange to toll, the British are said to have about 30 troopers. What was the extent of the loss on our side, cannot be ascertained—it is believed that most of our troops were retiring to the Half- Way-House, which was to be a rendez vous for the surrounding militia. gC?” The Express arrived at one o’clock, this morning—and the Coun cil were immediately convened Measures were promptly taken, and are in a train of rapid execution. The militia of New Kent and Charlae City have been called out by the Executive, the militia of Chesterfield and Hanover have beei| ordered, the Ist to rendez vous at Broad Rock, and the last at the Oaks. Two troops of Cavalry, viz. from Powhatan and Goochland,have al so been called out by the Executive. The militia of Warwick, York, James City and Elizabeth City, have also been called out by their Colonels Commandant. Norfolk, Friday, June 25. A detachment from the 54th regt, under Lieut. Broughton, marched from hence this morning for Richmond with the deserters and prisoners taken from the British forces which landed to at tack Craney-Island on Monday last. flew London, June 23. The only enemy’s ship lying off this harbor, are the Ramilics and Valiant Two of their barges, with about-20 men each, landed this afternoon about a mile below the light house they were discovered by the artillery company commanded by capt. French. By the time they repaired to their boats, capt. French brought his gun to bear upon them, and there is.no doubt but a lieu tenant of one of the barges was killed, and a number of the men. The piece was discharged about 15 times, and one barge went to the assistance of the other. Fort Griswold being the command ing eminence, every exertion is now making to get it in repair. A number of militia and volunteers have been em ployed for the purpose this day. In three days more, we shall have ft in a state of defence. New^YorJ, June 25.’ LATEST FROM LONDON. By the Henry, arrived at Boston on Wednesday from Halifax, we have Ha lifax papers containing London dates to May 10, from which the following ex tracts have been made LONDON, MAY 10. Maj. gen. the hon. Alexander Hope re-embarked on Friday at Yarmouth, on board the Erebus sloop of war, from Got tenburg. He proceeds, it is said, with extended powers to re-open the nego ciations with Denmark. Sir Robert Wilson has been recon noitering all the blockaded and besieg ed fortresses on the Vistula and Oder, and left Berlin about the 6th April, as it was supposed, for Magdeburg. Government have ordered a survey of all the American schooners brought into Plymouth since the commencement of hostilities. The officers of the yard are to report as to their capabilities. Capt. Bedford, of the Childers sloop, arrived this morning from America, with the official notification of the pro posed mediation of the Russian Empe ror between that country and G Bri tain. The blockade was vigorously maintained. There was a report in circulation just before our paper was put to press, of a great battle being fought in the vi cinity of I eipsic. Some accounts from Altcnburgh of the 29th ult. stated, that it was thought probable a battle would take place but we have not heard of any arrival from the continent this morn ing. A letter from Gottenburgh, of the 4th May, says—“ About 500 q troops in the finest order, have been inspected by the Crown Prince. He is accompanied by his son Oscar, who is an intelligent youth, and speaks the Swedish language like a native. Oscar is to remain here, but his father leaves us for Carlscrona to-morrow, from whence he proceeds to Germany.” Edinburgh, May 13.—Paris papers to the 7th inst. were received on Sunday, and their contents are of considerable importance. Two reports from the army in Germany, addressed to the Empress as Regent of France, bring down the military operations to the 30. h ult. At that date ihe army had advan ced from the Maine in two lines, both tending to and meeting upon the Saale, along which, on both sides, Bonaparte has placed it from Sialfield, through Jena, to Naumbfirg, Weissenfels and Halle. On the 28th, Ney crossed the Saale Naumburg, and sent forward his advanced guard under Souham to Weissenfels, where an action took place with a corps of the allies, under the Russian General Lanskoi; Victory is said to have declared for the French; but even from their own account the advantage appears to have been of a tri fling nature. The following are the positions of the French army as stated in these ac counts On the 29th, Bonaparte’s head quar ters were at N aimburg, and on the 30th he passed through Weimar. The Viceroy’s head quarters were at Marsfeld, with his left leaning upon the left of the Saale, and occupying Calbe and Bernburgh, where the duke of Bclluno is. Lauriston, with the sth corps, occu pied Alleban. The 34th division was upon Eislaben, the 35th and 36th being in the rear in reserve. The Prince of Moskwa had his corps in advance of Weimer. The duke of Ragusa was at Gotha. The 4th corps, under Bertrand, was at Saalfeld. The 12th under Reggio, at Cobourg, and the guards at Erfurth. All the army was in motion, the junc tion of the armies of the Elbe and of the Maine having taken place on the 27th, between Naumburg and Merse burg. On the 23d of April, the Prince of Eckmuhl established his head quarters at Bremen. The Russians and Prussians occupy a position nearly parallel with the French; the latter are on the Soule, and the former are on a line which descends from Dessau through Leipsic to Alten burg. The French papers admit the surren render of Thorn, but state that Spandau continued to hold out, which we know to be incorrect, that fortress having surrendered as well as Thorn. A mail from Heligoland arrived on Monday, with letters and papers to the sth mst. Their contents, as will be seen by the subjoined extracts, are important and satisfactory. The correspondent of the 4th, states, that the French have been forced back from Halle, and have crossed the Saale. There has been an insurrection at Dantzic, and Rapp, whose palace was attacked, Sc escaped with difficulty. The garrison consists but of 6000 effective men. The following bulletin was published by government: War Department, May 10. A letter has been received from Brigadier- General Lygon, dated Hamburgh, May 4th, of which the following is an extract:— General Sebastian! has marched with his corps from Luneburg on Saizwedei. In conse quence of this movement, Lieut. Colonel Count Waimoden left Hamburgh last night, and cross efthe Elbe, with a body of troops at Domitz.” Glasgow, May 15.—-A Heligoland mail arrived on Wednesday with letters till the 9th inst. which speak with con fidence of the security of Hamburgh. Cuxhaven, it is said, was occupied by the French on the Bth. There was nothing new at Hamburgh on the 7th from the theatre of war. It was gene rally reported that the brave veteran Gen. Kutusoff is dead. A Russian of ficer arrived in London on Wednesday, with dispatches. Two Gottenburg mails arrived on Monday night. Ber nadotte, the Crown Prince of Sweden, arrived at Gottenburg on the 2d inst. whence he was to proceed to Carlscro na, and thence to the Lower Elbe, to command the Swedish army. New York, June 25. By the steam-boat we have received no papers, but learn verbally and from letters, the following particulars, which we give as we receive The Lady of the Lake, and two other United States’ vessels had been dis patched from Socket’s Harbor, to bring away the munitions of war which had been deposited at Oswego for the use of the army, apprehending an attack from the enemy. They succeeded in securing all except a few provisions, See. of trifling value, and returned safe to Sacket’s Harbor. They had fallen in with and captured a British vessel laden with military stores, valued at 20,000 dollars,commended by a lieuten ant, and navigated by 20 men, who arrived prisoners at Sacket’s Harbor on Sunday. The enemy landed, destroyed the pub lic buildings and farm houses at Oswe go on Frid.y morning. Gen. Dearborn remained indisposed at Fort George. Gen. Lewis was expected to com mand at Socket’s Harbor, where a large number of troops had arrived and general Boyd at Fort George, where our army was concentrated, in good health and spirits. It was reported that general Proctor, from Maiden, had joined the British army, whose head-quarters were at Forty Mile Creek—their out posts be ing at Twelve Mile Creek. Commodore Chauncey, with his squadron, wefte expected to sail on or about the 4th of July. Gen. Parker had arrived in Albany, on his way to the northern army. Gen. Hampton and suite arrived at Newburgh yesterday morning, and were this day to proceed to Albany in the steam-boat. Batavia, N. Y. June 16. On Monday last, arrived in this vil lage, under a guard commanded by Lieut. Burr, 23d U. S. Infantry, 63 British regulars and 22 Canadian mili tia. prisoners of war, taken at the head of Lake Ontario on the 6th inst. and will remain here until further orders. Portsmouth, N. H. June 18.—Tues day last a British sloop of war appeared off our harbour, in chase of a number of coasters. The U. S. brig Enterprize, and some of the gun-boats at this place got under way immediately to go out, but on proceeding down the river, the Enterprize grounded, and was not got off till some iinie after. By boats which arrived towards evening, it was stated that there was also a frigate in the off ing so that the grounding of the Eu terprize may not be so unlucky a cir cumstance as was at first supposed. Windsor, Vc. June 2 I. On Sunday evening arrived here, part of Col. Fassett’s Regiment, be tween five and six hundred strong. The uniform appearance of these men reflect great honor on the Colonel and his officers. They were in full uniform and completely equipped; commanded by Major Phelps. The Colonel, it seems, will bring on the rest of the re giment in a few days which we under stand altogether will amount to about one thousand men. Also arrived on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday, part of Col. Dana’s regi ment of about 400, from Windsor; whose appearance were excellent. They were in uniform but had no arms. On Tuesday a detachment of Artille ry, from Albany arrived at this post, with two 24 pounders. Dur. Cent. FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD. RAN AWAY from the subscriber.

Gales, ENTITLED The Carolina Law Repository. To be edited by a Law Character. The primary design of this work, is to con vey to every part of the state early intelligence of the cases adjudged in the Supreme Court, and abstracts of the Public Laws passed at each session of the Legislature. One number will therefore be published on the first of March, and another on the first of September in each year, just before the commencement of the circuits; so that the Profession, and the citizens in general, may be apprized of the progressive change and exposition of the law, soon after they respectively occur, and at a time when such information is most desi rable. But the plan will also comprehend a variety of subjects connected with Legal and general Political Science, which, it is hoped, will render the work instructive and entertain ing, not merely to the practising Lawyer and he Student, but also to the Legislator and in telligent Citizen, who desires to contemplate, in their origin, spirit and effect, those princi ples of Legal Polity and Civil Freedom which form the basis of our own admirable institu tions. 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. The price will be one dollar and fifty cents per number, four of which will form a volume. Each num ber to be paid for on delivery.
