ON “NATIONAL ALLEGIANCE.’’ To the Editor of the Democratic Press. I have observed that there has lately bcr n re-published in some of our news papers a piece fiom tho tie John is withal so astonishingly credulous, that you may make him believe that the moon is made of green cheese, when he thinks he can make any thing ofit—at market. Of late, John has been wonderfully bothered” to find out how it happens, that the American fir-built vessels” have obtained so many partial victo ries.”—Now, a man of common sense would ascribe these victories either to superior skill, or to superior courage. —No John won’t believe this—it is against his dignity—For a Sheffield man, or a Biimingham, will talk of his dignity Some time ago, it was asserted—in London—that all the American battles were owing to a parcel of backwood Irishmen, (i. e. Foreigners,} who made terrible havock among the British sea men with English rifles-—Thal’s given up—The true cause has at length been discovered—The Yankees, it seems, obtain all their triumph—by what by covering tht ir cartridges with lead instead of canvass John is so amazingly tickled with the discovery, that the Lieutenant who found it out, has been pro oted to the com mand of a vessti— Risum teneates am ici Amer.

He took with him a blue half worn broad cloth coat, his shirts were country cotton what other clothes I know not.

This man is very easy to detect; has large full eyes, and when spoken to sharply discovers alarm he can read well, and is said writes also; he is a preacher,and has always religious books about him about 6 feet high, rather inkneed.

October 12—ts WASHINGTON CITY. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 19. Copy of a letter from Commodore Chauncey to the Secretary of the Na vy, dated, United States’ Ship General Pike, Sackett’s Harbor, 6th Oct. 1813. Sir, I have the pleasure to inform you that I arrived here this morning, with five of the enemy’s vessels, which I fell in with and captured last evening off the Ducks. These were part of a fleet of seven sail which left York on Sun day with 234 troops on board, bound to Kingston. Of this fleet five were cap tured, one burnt, and one escaped the prisoners, amounting to nearly 300, be sides having upwards of 300 of our troops on board from Niagara, induced me to run into port for the purpose of landing both. I have an additional pleasure in in forming you, that amongst the captured vessels are the late U. S schrs. Julia Growler, the others are gun vessels. I have the honor to be, very respect fully, Sir, your most obedient servant. ISAAC CHAUNCEY. Hoh. William Jones, Sec’ry of the Navy, Washington. THE VICTORY ON LAND. We confess ourselves quite at a loss for words in which to convey our feel ings at General Harrison’s victory. The persevering patriotism and valor of this indefatigable commander, and the same qualities in his undaunted troops, after encountering difficulties, of which the country at large seems never to have been fully aware, have at length completely triumphed; tri umphed at the most opportune moment, as regards the campaign, and at the very moment also, when a forlorn faction a mong us was confidently predicting, with a joy as malicious as we do not doubt the wish was sincere, his total discomfiture. The effect of this victo ry upon the further operations of our arms in Canada cannot fail, we think, to be immediately and signally auspi cious towards the great objects of this most just and righteous war. But there is another aspect, alike solemn and in teresting, under which we cannot help presenting the subject. As far as the scale of warfare has been concerned, we are bold to s^y, that the British have waged hostilities against us along our north western frontier with a barbarity that nothing in history surpasses. Taking the hor rid savages as their friends and asso ciates in battle, placing them as the front warriors of their host, they have alternately encouraged and permitted enormities at which they ought for ever to blush and which, ages hence, it will still freeze the bleod of our pos terity to read of. Faction, disaffection, a spirit worse than treason, and as shocking under every moral view as the savage flames and torments them selves are to the shrinking nerves and fibres of the flesh, may affect to sneer at these things, affect to deny them but their solemn truth has been drawn out Ly offi ial scrutiny, and will, must, most assuredly, make a part of the his tory of the times beyond the possibi lity of contradiction, when the foul tongues and pens of party and of false hood are heard no more. Have we net, among other deeds of horror, seen the corpses of oiar countrymen, their man gled arms, legs, hearts, a prey to the very hogs of the highway, while the unfeeling English in that quarter, with a deliberate depravity which the dain tiest blood-pampered appetites of the most refined cannibals of revolutionary France never went beyond, have cooliy turned aside, or coolly turned away. And now whet is likely to be the change These very tomahawks that, side by side with the equally cruel Briton, have been made to open the sculls of our poor fellows, while in un offending captivity; these very savage arms that always—yes always,—with British permission, have been thrust elbow deep into the gore and bowels of our gallant countrymen —resigned, submitting, with no shrieks of fear, no prayers for mercy, where indeed mer cy never dwelt, no imprecations at the callous authors of all their dreadful sufferings, but with a composed and sublime fortitude, meeting and sinking under their terrible doom—These sell same savage implements are now like ly to be lifted in awful retribution a gainst the heads of their heretofore base and more savage employers. The in famous Proctor has perhaps been fly ing, an appalled fugitive, before those poor deluded human beings so lately his friends, his chief dependence, his compatriots in arnas; and himself and others of these disgraced Britons who first drew out this infernal enemy to the field, may, even now, if American humanity be not still at hand, and still ready to save, be expiating their fell abominable crime under the agonies of that very scalping knife still warm with American blood, steeped and reeking at their instance—at British instance 1 The Ottoways, the Chippeways, the Pottewatemies, the Kickapoos, these allies of Britain, allies as regularly ac knowledged, and even as regularly* thanked in every official dispatch, as* my Lord Wellington acknowledges and thanks the Portuguese as the allies of the British in Spain, may now be rais ing their exasperated arms, their eye balls glaring with perfidious fury, a gainst the very hosts that drew them from their cabins, formed them into ranks, instructed them how best to deal out destruction, and whetted their pa lates for feasts of captive blood, but who, alas, could net (themselves also perfidious) make good their rich pro raises to them of constant carnage and blood feasts and plunder. The remorse less English in Canada have themselves alone to blame in any disasters, from this source, that may overtake them. This must be the judgment of nations and, we humbly hope, of heaven. Well may our commanders, whether upon the waters of the Lakes, or upon the Land, write that it has pleased the Al mighty to give victory to our arms. Deo date. With reverence would we breathe it, but as far as short sighted mortals can see, we think the retribu tions of a just Providence may be traced in this turn of things which seems like ly to roll back, upon the guilty heads of its authors, some of the horrors of In dian warfare. MILITARY REVIEW. On Saturday hat the annual general review of the Militia of this District took place in this City and in Alexandria. The first Brigade, under the command of Brig. Gen. Smith, was reviewed by Major-General Van Ness. At 1 o’clock, P. M. the’ line composed of Colonel’s Magruder’s and Brent’s Regiments, and consist ing of about thirteen or fourteen hundred men, was? elegantly formed on the plain south of the Tiber. The salutes, both standing and march ing, were performed in excellent style. A short interval then took place, during which the officers and a number of other gentlemen, accidentally assembled, parlook of a handsome refreshment provided by the Brigadier in his Markee. A variety of manceuvring and firing, directed by the commanding General, occupied the remainder of the day in whLh the troops, generally, much to the credit of Gen. Smith and his officers, acquitted themselves highly to the satisfaction of military and other gen tlemen. Upon this occasion (besides the gene ral staff of the Division) the Secretaries of State and of the Navy, Gen. Bloomfield, Col. Troup, and a number of other officers, both of the Army and Navy, as well as private gentle men, did the reviewing officer and the troops the honor of accompanying him from his quar. ters and remaining on the ground during the review. It was truly agreeable and animating to behold the Militia of the Capital, at this in teresting cirisis of our affairs, exhibiting tin m selves in presence of the principal officers of the governmant and an immense croud of spec tators, in an attitude which invited confidence, and not inferior in appearance and discipline to any of a similar description of troops in the Union, The interest of the spectacle and of the occasion was greatly heightened by the in telligence just received of the glorious success, es of our North-Western Army. The feelings inspired by that circumstance manifested them selves in the cordial congratulations recipro cated among all classes and on all sides. Every patriotic countenance beamed with the light of joy. Towards the close of the day copies o* the official communications upon the subject were read by the officers to their repective men under arms. A Feu De Joy was immedi ately fired repealed and animated cheers en sued, and the air literally rang with the “merry peals of gladness.” We understand the second Brigade, in Alex, andria, under the command of Brigadier Gene ral Young, were reviewed by himself, and ac quitted themselves satisfactorily It would have been an agreeable circumstance to many, par t.cularly to General Bloomfield and other mili tary gentlemen, both of the Army and of the District, and probably to the Heads of Depart ments, to h ive visited the troops at Alexandria; but unfortunately, owing to an accidental inad vertence, the same day was selected for both re views. In the evening the inhabitants of the City manifested their high satisfaction at the defeat of the brutal foe which has laid waste our fron tier, by a general illuuiination and other ex pressions of Joy. ron THE national intelligencxr. CONSIDERAI lONS ON AN HONORABLE PEACE BETWEEN THE UNG ED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE UNTIED KINGDOM OF G. BRITAIN AND IRELAND. The very name of peace is pleasant, and the reaiity salutary but the interval is wide be ween peace and servitude. Peace is the quiet enjoyment of liberty but servitude is the last of all evils, to be repelled, not only by WAR, but even by DEATH. Cicero in Marc. An(. No. VI The impressment, by Great Britain, of NATIVE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, is the next subject in the order of dis cussion. MR BAYARD, in the speech here tofore alluded to, acquaints us that G. Britain does not claim the right of im pressing American citizens. Native American citizens are meant for American citizens by naturalization, it is known that she regards, or affects to regard, in a different light. MR PICKERING, a distinguished American statesm n, also acquaints us, very formally, in his writings, (hat G. Britain does not claim the right of im pressing native American citizens. MR STRONG, Governor of the State of Massachusetts, officially ac quaints the constituted authorities of that state, that Great Britain does not claim the right of impressing native American citizens UN PARALLELLED MAGNANI MUY There must be some cause for this magnanimity on the part of Great Bri tain. On applying some investigation to the subject, perhaps two causes for it may be discovered The first is somewhat of a geographi cal description. It ex sts in the state of New York. It is to be found in THE BATTLE OF SARATOGA. The second cause is also somewhat of a geographical description. It ex ists in the state of Virginia. It is to be found in THE BATTLE OF YORK TOWN. The fact is, that this assertion, “Great Britain does not claim the right of im pressing native American citizens,” whether made by herself, or by her ad vocates here, is an INSULT TO THE AMERICAN NATION. It implies that after having fought tor and achiev ed our independence, we are not yet independent. It implies that it is an act of mercy, charity, kindness, forbear ance, to treat us as an independent peo ple. It is a direct attack upon the NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY. Great Britain does not claim, the right of impressing native American ci' tizens I” But she does what is much worse: She EXERCISES it. After twenty nipt long years of for bearance in her EXERCISE of this right, we are, at last, very modestly told by her, that in this war we are the ag gressors. So much for forbearance, meekness, patience, long suffering But, say her advocates, she impress es native American citizens by MIS TAKE.” There are very few natives of Scot land, England or Ireland, who may not be known, in th United States of Ame rica, as such, without any great danger of mistake. They are recognised im mediately. The savages, on the fron tier, distinguish, with instinctive preci sion, between an American and an Eng lishman. It is not possible for an Ame rican to mistake a native of the states eastward of the state of New York, set tled originally by the English Puritans, either for a native of Europe or of any other part of the union. Is it possible that the faculties of the English are not as acute as those of the Americans or even as the savages of the woods No! In nine cases out of ten, perhaps in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred, these are wilful mistakes. The native American citizen is impressed by the British, they well knowing him at the time to be a native American citizen. The very circumstances which serve to designate him in their eyes, with in variable certainty, as a native American, afford them a fund of sport and amuse ment. How does it happen that these mistakes are all on one side W do not find that they ever mistake an E .g ----lishman for an Am -rican. They only mistake an American for an English man. The truth is, they are predeter mined to mistake and, like loyal sub jects, they always mistake in favor of their king. But they discharge the impressed na tive American on the application of nis government I They first use every means to prevent his go\ _rnment or his friends from knowing any thing about him If they seek for him in the West Indies, he is to be found in the East. If they hear of him on board of one snip, b. fore an application cun be made lie is shuffled into another. They then use every, means to seduce him, and de tach him from his country. In nine cases out of ten of those which occur, no discharge ever takes pLce. When it does, wfiat sort of a recompense is r for the original wrong Many are kill ed in their service and many perish under the multiplied oppression and

Page 3

hardship, which they are compelled io undergo. MR. TOMPKINS, and a number of other native American citi zens, have deposed, that for net enter ing into their service, after they have been impressed, they have been subjee ted to the lash, GREAT GOD! A SOVEREIGN NATIVE CITIZEN OF OUR REP UR EIC LASHED BY THE PETTY MINION OF A DES PO f But, say the advocates of England, The number of native Americans im pressed has been magnified It is not six thousand two hundred and fifty se ven." To this argument the answer ought to be very short. It is sufficient if there is but one. If one native Ame rican citizen is impressed by the Bri tish, they well knowing him at the time to be a native American citizen, the wrong is complete. The outrage im periously demands redress. The ques tion ought always to turn, in matters of this nature, upon a single case. It is not how many are impressed, or whe ther the number be greater or less than this or that which may be assigned. The duty which the Republic owes is due to the individual. If she expects allegiance from him, she is bound to extend protection to him. If the indi vidual is connected by any ties with ail Vhe other citizens of the Republic, by the same ties all the other citizens of the Republic are connected with him. The obligation is mutual. The duties are reciprocal. If the individual is bound to YOU, you are also bound to HIM. The public feeling has been too much tampered with en this subject. By getting into disputations about the number of native Americans, knowingly impressed by the British, we cease to feel as we ought to do for each particu lar one of them To rectify the wrong and redress the outrage, we must go back to the first case, of which we have authentic evidence, of a native Ameri can citizen, impressed by the British, they well knowing him at the time to be a native American citizen and if redress can by no pacific means be ob tained, on that single case the war ought to turn. Thus, in succession, upon every case of the same character, the same firmness ought to be main tained. It is probable however that the num ber has not been magnified. But of the whole number of cases of impress ment which have actually occurred, it can scarcely be expected that as much as ©ne third have reached the ear of the government. It was, once, a protection against the iash, when a man could say, I AM A ROMAN CITIZEN.” The classical reader will recollect the impassioned and inimitable eloquence of CICERO, on this subject, in the oration against VERRES. The reader of the BIBLE ■will recollect the case of the apostolic minister of Christianity. When he exclaimed, I AM A ROMAN CITI ZEN the lash was suspended over the suffering apostle. The very name of a ROMAN CITIZEN inspired im mediate respect, awe, and terror.” For a great sum," said his admiring collocutor, I obtained this freedom BUT I,” said PAUL, WAS FREE BORN.” Will the privilege of the citizen of the American republic ever stand so high I Will it eve.* equal the privilege of a citizen of the Roman republic Will the British lash be suspended when the suffering victim shall an nounce, I AM A NATURAL FREE BORN AMERICAN CItIZEN!” Will the ki.ov ledge of this protect him in every quarter of the world; or will it be only toe signal for oppression, and contumely and sport, and rapine If such should be the case the con duct of bis government must be very different from what it has hitherto been The American administration has hitherto been very anxious, and justly so, to arrange this subject of impress ment with the British government. The late President of the United States declared that he would consent to no treaty with the British nation unless this subject was adjusted. He refused a treaty, because it did not contain an article on this head. He instructed the ambassadors of the Republic to make no treaty unless the question of the impressment of her citizens was defr nitively settled. This policy was unquestionably right, at the time. We never can pretend to be a sovereign nation while we remain liable to this outrage. We cannot even have any pretensions to the character of a neutral nation. If our citizens, by coercion, fight the battles of Great Bri tain on the ocean; and, perhaps, much of her success against France is owing to their skill and bravery; we are ef fectually re-colonized, and are parties in her unceasing wars. To have made a treaty, on any sub ject, with Great-Britain, leaving this outrage unprovided for, would have necessarily implied a tacit acquiescence in its continuance. Before actual war, such arc its interminable miseries, to preserve peace no humiliation can sc rcely be too great. It might have con ported with the dignity, and sove reignty, .of the nation, to have negociat ed on this subject. It might have en tcred into some of the details of a treaty The case is very different after A merica has been actually driven to war. So Lr from its being essential to. ANj HONORABLE PEACE BETWEEN i AMERICA AND GREAT BRITAIN at tbc present time, that a provision against the impressment of native Ame rican citizens should enter into the de tails of a treaty, it is, on the contrary essential to AN HONORABLE PEACE that the treaty of pacification should not mention, or even allude to, a practice of the kind. Great Britain has already had her lesson and it may safely be presumed that if a state of peace should exist to-morrow she will not soon lightly again dare to impress a native American citizen. Whenever she does, the INDIVIDUAL CASE must be made a N ATIONAL QUES TION. RETALIATION, after the manner which will presently be ex plained, ought to be first resorted to; and, if that fails, WAR. We shall be safer, now, without a treaty-provision, than we should be with it. The charm is broke. Our dream of eternal peace is dissipated. We now know that peace cannot exist on one side, and war on the other. We have awoke from our slumbers and let us never, never hereafter, be afraid to vindicate our RIGHTS! CINCINNATUS. Georgetown, October 18th, 1813. Plattsburg, October 2. General Hampton is preparing to march his army from Chateaugay’; but to what place, remains a profound mys tery. He is disencumbering his officers and soldiers of every thing but their arms, ammunition, one suit of clothes, one shirt, one blanket, provisions, and, perhaps, tents and culinary apparatus, and sending their unnecessary baggage back to Plattsburg. This, although it does not develope the destination of the army, proves beyond all question that it is going very shortly to fight the ene my somewhere. It is reported and be lieved here, that 40 boats containing 1000 British soldiers and a few Indians, have descended the river St. Lawrence from Kingston to Montreal within a few days. JYew-York, Oct., 15. The editors of the New-York Ga zette, have received by the Ganges, ar rived at Newport, a file of Lisbon pa pers to the 17th of August, giving a de tailed account of the late battles between the Allies and the French army under Soult, Bcc. which we have published from the London papers. “The French loss (say the Lisbon Gazettes of the 17th and 18th August) in the actions from 25th July to 2d Au gust, exceeded 20,000 men. The following is the official return of the killed, wounded and missing of the Allied Army, in the several actions from the 25th July to 2d August:— Killed Wounded Missing. British, 540 3510 500 Portuguese, 322 1817 201 Spaniards, 26 167 1 1 Total loss of the allied army in the different actions 7100. Among the officers wounded, were Generals Stewart,' Crawford, Gordon, Adj. Gen. Waters, and Major-General Pack. In a letter from an old friend, dated Lisbon, August 18, we find the follow ing postcript. The reports of to day are, that Lord Wellington has received advices of the xYrmistice in the North, being broke up, is advancing into France and that he has left St. Sebastians and Pampiuna in his rear blockaded, and not besieged. Other reports mention, that both places nave surrendered but no reliance can be placed on either.” Another letter from Lisbon to the editors, states, that the Brig Hepsa, B.dley, of New York, is condemned’at Gibraltar for a violation of the blockade of New-York.” Frankfort, Ky. Oct. 2. The acting governor of this state lias received dispatches from Gov How ard, dated at St. Louis the sth ult. in which he states that it is probable the hostile Creek Indians would attempt to form a junction with the northern Indi ans; and invites the Governor to send him some aid. But, in the event oi the Governor not being able to comply with chat suggestion, he intimates that an ex pedition from some point of the Miami of the Lake to the head of the river Si. Joseph (where he states there is a very considerable settlement of Indians) would be highly serviceable, and could not fail of success. General Howard writes the executive, that he was about to march against the Illinois Indians with what force he could collect in the bounds of his command. I.attr ac counts announce his march with a force of about 1400 men, well equipt. The United States brig Enterprise sailed from Fortland on Thursday, the 7tii inst-—and the brig Rattlesnake from Portsmouth on Monday last, on a cruise. LAKE NEWS.

I have been very much afflicted for some days past with extreme pain and giddi ness in my head, so much so that when I have had occasion to stoop down in the store, on raising up again, it was with difficulty I could stand on my feet for some time, connected, with a sick stomach.

Messrs Michael Lee, 13 Co. I was attacked with a most violent cold, a severe cough and pain in the breast, which continued to grow worse—during wh ch my appetite failed, and my vaice altered so much that it was with the utmost exertion I could pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends haying observed to me that much good had been done by the use of Lee’s Elixir, advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs. Warner and Hanna, whbh I accordingly did—and to those persons, un. acquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of one bottle only restored me to per fect health J. A. SMITH, Market Street, F. Points Lee's Logenges. The medicine, which is as innocent and mild as it is certain and efficacious in its opera tion, cannot injure the youngest infant should no worms exist in the body. Messrs. Michael Lee Co. Observing that my son, six years of age, was troubled with difficulty m breathing [something frequently rising tn his throat] restlessness at night, loss of flesh, &c. from these symptoms I was confident he had worms; and having procured a box of Lee’s Worm-destroying Logenges, the first dose ex pelled 23 large worms which afforded him im mediate relief. He now enjoys a good state of healte, and I believe I can from experience say, that Lee’s Lozenges are the most efficacious remedy for worms now in use. THOMAS TETERS, Of the late firm of Peters and Johnson. Baltimore, July 1,1810.
