From Lo k bon P.per. «o the 7* hgjr. «<*[«*
atChMlefton, bjr the (hipHtxTH, Capt. Baymi,
LONDON, September $.
The contradiflioos which the Continental
Journals offer to our observations, refpettind
the great q-ieftioo of Peace or Warfare not to)
be accounted for by any one who is ignorant
of the influence under which they are lent
/orth to the world. They abound, with r
ted rumours of peace, and detail* of the nioft
B ai*c preparations for war. Why the opinion
fnould be thus balanced against the fad, »e
an neither comprehend nor explain. In the
ame article of intelligence from Vienna, we
find the expofirion of a notable plan for the re
umpuon of the Ruffian negotiation (of that
which is laughed and sneered at,
nd made the fubjed of French ridicule) and
he admitfion that ninety thousand Ruffians are
ffi-mbling in Austrian Poland ; that the liripe-
Ur r. nnon the Italian frontier ;
Messrs. Hobby 13 Bunce,
I DO not feel the fame delicacy in
addrefling the public through, you as
that which was affedled by my com
petitor the Volunteer—but viewing you
as the proper organs of public commu
nication, shall through this medium en
deavour to answer the criticisms of the
Volunteer, and at the fame time commit
a few suggestions for the consideration
of the refpedlabie body to which he be
longs ; and will use my utmost caution
to avoid the frightful monotony he com
plains of.
It was not my intention to fay the
Major Generals adted without law; if
such an idea was exprefs’d ; it was with
out design : and I stand corrected —nor
would 1 by any means infinite, that
some of the Members of the Court
were not infinitely superior to law, and
therefore enabled to pursue any mea
sures they deemed proper, whether con
fident with legal regulations or not.
The chosen emblem and motto I am
told are the fame which were worn by
our soldiers at the commencement of hol
tilities in the revolutionary wa( •, and
that the court juitify their conduct on a
principle of reverence for that cause i
I feel as much veneration, for the prin
ciples of the revolution, as the Major
Generals can poflibly feel—-vet we can
not forget, at that time we were the
humhlc fubjeds of a powerful King—
that we were (lives, petitioning our im
perious matter, not to trample us under
his feet—tfiat we would bear all that the
loval servants of a prince ought to bear ;
but if he actually trod upon us j per
haps we fhould'£//<? him. I cannot fay
much for the delicacy and refinement of
the expreflion. Yet at that time it con
vey’d a meaning that could not be mis
understood—thus while we were the
fervilc fubjedts of a foreign power, that
was loading us with opprefiivc imposi
tions, and we were humbly Soliciting, to
be permitted to enjoy the rights of hu
man beings, this fubmiflive tone might
not be incorred —immediately on our In
dependence being declared our relation
with the King dellroyed—and our po
litical situation with all the world entire
ly changed •, the government very prop
erly changed the banner of her troops,
and the ensigns of Independence were
let up in the army, as well as in the
cabinet. While our allegiance was due
the King of England, it was not unbe
coming us as faithful fubjeds, to fay,
“ don’t oppress us beyond human fuf
ieranee, if you do vve will revolt, or in
other words if you tread on us—beware
of the consequence will any hon
est man in his senses; who feels he is
politically free, and duly appreciates the
Wettings of liberty contend that this
is a language becoming a tree and in
dependent people ? Thus much for
the court.
Permit me now to fay a few words to
the Volunteer corps in general—you
are told gentlemen by one of your own
body that busy fiandal fays, this gener
al order was designed to deffcroy your
corps. 1 repeat the observation, and
add, that it not only exhibits, a tendency
to break up, the Volunteer Companies,
but that it ipso failo deflroys the whole
Stamina of the aflociations, as soon as
that order is executed, you are no longer
independent Volunteers, but are redu
ced to a level with the Militia of the
line ; with no other privileges but thole
of furniShing yourselves with a uniform
and Rattle Snake buttons at your pri
vate expence.
The principles on which a Volunteer
Company is founded, if I do not mifap-
prehend them, are these ; the individ
uals, aflociated in a body, tender their
special services to the executive—that
they cloath, arm, and difeipline them
selves, and always hold themselves
in readiness to march at a moments
warning en masse for the protection
jof the state. For this extra duty
which they take upon themselves, they
have always been allowed to felett their
own uniform, and ftandard —are exempt
from draft—and do duty under none
but their own officers.
The moment the legislature, or the
: Major Generals, or any other power,
' take from them these privileges they
’ dettroy the contract •, tacit, or express,
i it amounts to the fame thing ; and they
: are no longer Volunteers, but are redu
| ced to mere Militia of the line. These
’privileges have been wrested from you
one after another until you have none
left ’; and you now exist only in name ;
or at lead only as an objeCt for the field
martial , prince of Rattle Snakes, to feed
his thirst for arbitrary power upon.
Your rights and privileges, are not
only taken from you, but you have a
badge of infamy and disgrace fixed upon
your buttons •, your coat the taste and
choice of your judgment is torn from
your shoulders with all the violence of
despotism, and you are compeled to
purhafe and wear such as capriciousness
may preferibe. Now it remains for
you to determine whether you will sub
mit without complaint, being deprived
of all the advantages attending your affio
ciation9, or will exert yourselves to re
cover them—policy points out to you
one way by which you may poflibly re
trieve your rights—petition the legis
lature for a redress, and inftrud your
representatives to endeavour to have
your grievences removed—if this meth
od fails and the legislature persist in
your degradation, you have but one al
ternative remaining, if you wish to sup
port the dignity of freemen—which is,
to withdraw en masse , from this unfor
tunate, this degraded society.
If on the other hand you choose si
lently to submit, and wear the ensigns
of disgrace which are offered you •, you
deserve no longer to use the sacred name
j/ liberty—and prove yourselves un
worthy' the freedom and independence
you enioy. I aflert it as a lamentable
fa<st, that an adt defpotic •, or an
order half so degrading t® human na
ture, does not exist in tfrf Mandates of
Bonaparte, or the decrees of the Oilman
porte •, and it (land’s a proof and w':. 1 )
be perpetuated us a memento of the
arbitary conduct and disposition of its
great progenitor.
LATITUDINARIAN.
A second Putman.
About the 20th of August last, sev
eral of the inhabitants of the town of
Delhi, in the county of Delaware, hav
ing pursued a SHE BEAR to her den;
one of the company, Willi"m Shaw by
name, a native of the Highlands of Scot
land, entered the fubterraneous haunt of
this ferocious animal, and defeended to
her very feat, there, fearlefs of conse
quences, placed a rope round her neck,
and she was dragged forth to the aston
ishment of all present.—This is the se
cond fete of the kind we believe on re
cord; and, for cool resolution and de
termined courage, elevates the name of
Shaw, of Delhi, to a rank second only
to the intrepid Putnam of former days, j

“ Fruitful Vines .”
There are living in the county of Som- 1
erfet a gentleman and his wife, who yet
bear the appearance of young people,
who have already had nineteen children ,
who are, we believe, all living.
There is in the fame county another j
pair who have had eighteen children.
Neither of these cases, however, equal
what a family some years since, of this
place, produced. A lady, who was
twice married, had eighteen by her firil,
and three by her lecond husband !
