AN ORATION,

Americans!
WE are here meritcdly affem
blcd to celebrate this joyous an
niverfary of American 1 1 depend
ence—an independence wbnh
has been looked upon withangcr,
awe, and pleafcue, by the h uro
pcan powers. Eng'and, with]
anger, bhe'd 11s independent,
i becaule in fpite ol her oppreb:
fions, and her endeavors to fub
jugate our mmly necks to the
vile yoke of drfpotilm ; we had
broken alfunder the fetters, of
tvranny, and attumed the voice
j of an heroic nation ; and fince
we have, with fo much blood
(hed, eflabliftied peace and an
c xtenfive comincice, fhe h-as j
looked upon us with fear, leR ;
we Ihould by cur increafing
greatnefs, revenge the many in-;
juries with which Ihe had ptr
lecuted our pious ancellors.
Americans, beware of Brlufli
malice; a R iking miiance of;
which is evident fr m their hav
ing armed the In- inns againß
i oui f on iers, and having let rut
1 the A'geiines upon ou delVn. c-.
Ids commerce. n ihe other*
hand, France with pLafure be
held our g-ow.ng bitchy, and
looked upon our indrpendc ore 1
as one of the greateft and moll
glo ious events ever recorded in j
the annals of time, loi, as rhe j
lljine kindled in Ameii a, fpai ks |
caught in furope, and gave to
the nation of fiance, an over
throwing the monarchy, and of
er tbng a government fortiiem
fclves, and al o of liber-i ing
Irom the baßile thole victims of
tyranny, who had for a long
time lutteied unhea-d of cruel
ties.
In America, the fparks of li
berty weie kind I dand nouiifhcd
into independence; to obtain
which, (lie had to ttruggle with
one ol the then moR powciful
nations in Europe, dvißißute of
arms and ammunition, Ihe was
forced to contend with a nuinc- ■
rous end well dlfcip 'ncd nvny ;
but courage fuppaed the phce
or arms, for when out coa.isj
.ir.d fho*es were in felled by ho-1
(Me fl ets and armies the peo
ple of America biavely dedicated
thcr lives and fortunes to the
facred caufe of freedom; and
won with ll eir blood this glori
ous independence handed un-
Tul ied to their poflerity. B ced’s
awful mount contains the a'hes
I of manv of thofe noble patriots
, who geneioufly fhed their biood
1 for liberty and their country ;,
but their fouls are transferred to
brighter regions, to the abodes
of more than mortal bills.
/ mericans, the florin is over, j
you now enjoy peace, a peace
made happy by the vaft extent
of a country embracing all the
varieties of the mod lalubiious
climes, and a government juftly
t renowned for its wi fdom and in
tcgiitv ; and while it keeps the
equ table courfe it has taken,
will have all true Americans at
t chedtoit If then, Americans,
the peop'e are attached to our
government, why fhould we have
a handing a my to fuppoit it ?
while they have always been
thought by wife and moderate
men deftru6frve to republics.
N oiwithftanding the tiuth and
•importance of this maxim, it
I has been thought pioper to or-'
gamle fuch an army: already;
have we feen and experienced
its evils ; already have we feen
attempts made by the foldiery
to inlluence by force the public
opinion. Not to mention the
pernicious cffccls of the prefent
cllablifliment, in adding to the
ferocity oi 'party fpiiit, in cre
ating a horde of idle profligate
wretches* who will be the drones
of locieiy ; nor the enormous
icxpence incurred by it to the
j United States. Already have
1 we hen the foldiery tyrannize
over iheii fellow-citizens, not in
3rrn ; ; and the military fupercede
, the civil authority, Thefc da
ring attempts of the Januaries of
, America, ought to excite the
; mult icnous alarm, and indig
nuion. Ncfwithftanding the
I pomp and parade of naval pre
! para ions, our property is Hill
very inlecuic on the ocean,
i d.wo oi the belligerent powers!
continue to commit depreda
tions on our commerce. The
tyrant i f the ocean continues to
| harrafs our trade, to infult our
! hag, to plunder cur property, I
i and to imprels our Teamen, The
1 moll daring attempts of this kind
| have been offered, that were
i ever tolerated by an independent
1 people. I challenge any advo
cate for Britain to produce an
jinflance of a free fovereign, and
“ mod enlightened peop'e/* be
ing infultcd in having their Tea
men taken from their (hips of war,
and patiently fubmitung to the
infult.
Americans, keep n watchful
eye, left you lofe that liberty
which) our forefathers rated at
(o high a price, the price of feven
yean bloody war,

The only informauen we can I
collect from capt. Dalmer ref I
pe&ing the French and Eritifh I

pafied up the Mediterranean, I
and was followed by the latter I
under the command of lord St. I

having met, or where the French I
fleet was deflined, had arrived I
at Malaga when capt. Daber I
