enght in this contest to be fully and explicit- :
lv taught, that a false neutrality, the sacrifice
of character to interest, and a subservience to
the passions of an ignorant but violent popu
lace, are crimes in a government which,
though they promise immediate advantage,
jnnst nevertheless be followed by merited
chastisement, and the loss of those just inv -
ests, which they might have permanently se
cured, had they not in their spirit of rapine
grasped atthat which justice had enclosed as
the right and property of another.
While military operations in Canada are to
be considered rather in preparation than in ac
tion, we turn with satisfaction to the conduct of
the maritime war. The Americans icel us on
the •• seaboard" of the United States. The
operations in the Chesapeake have been spirit
edly conducted. Detachments from the lieet
have taken several towns, and among the rest
Nottingham, only twenty miles from Wash
ington, and the capital itself is menaced. In
•11 these expeditions our troops appear to have
met with but feeble opposition, a sufficient
proof that either the defensive preparations
have been Utile attended to in the haste to con
quer Canada, or that the people whose piivate j
property is respec.’.d, begin to be weary of a
war, which, heated by the declarations of their
democratic leaders, they so loudly called for.
In addition to the vexation and lossess occa
sioned by these expeditions, the Americans
look forward totne grand armament which
i» likely to strike a blow at some at present
unknown, part of their sea frontier; and till
time shall explain to them the point of opera
tion and the issue of this menacing expedition,
U appears tney will have a sufficiency of leisure
upon their hands to spend in conjectures as to
its force and destination.—From business at
least they now enjoy a pretty absolute vacation.

AUGUSTA HERALD.
THUf«DAY, tsuT
We have selected from the Savannah Re
pblicit.ii, the latest European intelligence re
ceived in this country, & which came by wav
of Amelia Island, our readers will make their
own conclusions as to the state of the nego
cialions at Ghent, from tiie articles publish
ed relative thereto. We observe it stated
in the Charleston Times, on the authority
of Letters hy the same arrival, that the ne
gociations were continued, we should, from
the complexion of the last dispatches from
our ministers he inclined to believe, that smcA
a result, was rather lobe hoped for than
expected.
The vessel sunk hy the United States
sloop of war it appears was the Avon, the
British account of the engagement will he
found in this paper, iu which it will readily i
be perceived there is a mistake of a figure or !
two, inasmuch, as the Wasp continued her
cruize, instead of go ng; down, as the Brit-;
i ish officers were willing to suppose, hy way
of consolation Tor the loss of the Avon.
A report is, circulated, that the general
Congress at Vienna, had broken up without
accomplishing its objects, and that Lord Uas
tlereagli had procured a re-commencement of
the negociati.ins between the American and i
British commissioners—we give this report
as we received it, reports inueh less probable
sometimes prove true. |
In selecting objects of taxation, we find
a tax on Bachelors proposed ; we do not
know whether a Poll tax or an ad valorem
duty is contemplated, but it is suggested,
that in some shape or other, the tax may be 1
a productive source of revenue.
The engagement between the Wasp, and
; the Avon, is stated in the American Account
Ito have continued 45 miiuii.es only—but tiic
; British appear to think it couttnued two
J hours longer—They scedi not willing to ui- \
| low that so much execution could be done,
i in the short tune in which it Svas acconi- J
; plished. The Wasp it will be recollected
! h id two men killed, and 3 wounded, and was
! slightly damaged 111 her hull and rigging—
; She bad before accomplished tne destruction
of the Reindeer, and nas taken, it is suppo
sed prize poperty to the amount of nearly
i a million of Dollars.
THE following article froth a London
paper evidences the sensibility produced iu j
England, by the naval victories acquired hy 1
; our countiyinen, under circumstances and
1 in situations, which lias no precedent 111 the j
British naval history; and tne idea of “ ma- I
king improvements” 111 order to place British •
seamen, on a•• level with” ours, conveys a j
compliment, nevev before, we believe, paid
I by a London writer, to any other enemy. I
The splendor of our naval operations has
not onlv excited the astonishment of bur ehe
ml
mids abroad, bat has had a most'salutary ef
fect at home, by chaiigiug those into friends
and advocates of a naval force; vvhb hereto
fore, in a great measure sought popularity
and raised themselves into office, by their in
j tiexible opposition thereto.
From a London paper of Au§. 10.
Without entering into the enquiry wheth
er the use of laagrage and swan shot,
j aud the other destructive modes of contest
j employed hy the Americans in most oft Heir
i naval actions, are or are uot unprecedented
i it is f sufficient that they do employ them
I to make it necessary for us to resort to sim
l ilar measures iti self defence. We must not,
t therefore, rest contented with a feeble re
, sistauce, like ail unskilful boxet, who hits
! hut once to his adversary’s twice ; but we
must equal if we cannot surpass them in do
ing the greatest possible damage the Least
period of time. To this object, vve trust,
government will call the particular atten
tion of scientific men. Among the papers
lately laid before parliament, we have no
ticed, with satisfaction, some which hear
relation to this subject. It appears that
Captain Manby, so well known hy his plan
; for saving the lives of shipwrecked mariners,
has turned his thoughts to a measure uo
I less consistent with real humanity—The
placing liis countryman on a level with their
enemies, hy improvements in the quickness
of firing, and iu the power of guns at given
distances, as well as the inodes of serving
and discharging maritime artillery. We
do not conceive that these circumstances
are all that are necessary to be attended to.
ill order to give our brave seamen, their
fair chance of success; but every stop to
wards such an important and is material;
and the growing balance of captures against
us, vvilh our immense naval means, too
i evidently shows that, in our regulations,
there is yet much room for correction and
j improvements ’

TO TIIE CITIZENS OF AUGUSTA
AND ITS VICINAGE.
REMOVED as we are from the u din
of war” and the devastations of the enemy,
we feel but little, in comparison, of the pres
sure of the times; vve are nevertheless alive
to the sufferings of our brethren in every
part of the union—we have heretofore done
all that has been required of us—and more.
Our young men have more than once or
twice voluntarily presented tbenuelres t« 1
the enemy —they are now iu the Sold : We
h«ve given them up, and aided in their
equipment. , Hut something jet remains for
us to do, the city of Savannah is threatened
by the enemy ; tiie inhabitants Itave contrib*
uted largely for its defence in money and
labor: the Committees appointed by the
Corporation to superintend their works of
defence have made so many calls on the lib
erality of their Citizens, that, al;ho' hut a
small smil is no>v wanting to complete their j
fortilications, they cannot consistently, make I
another call on them until they hear from us.
The City Council of Augusta upon an in
timation of these things from the Corpora*
I tion of Savannah, Convened on Tuesday
: last and appointed* Hufcn Nesbitt, Thom
j as Cusiming and Richard H. YVlude, es
i quires a committee to receive your cant ribu-
I tious. The Council are well assured this
j citil will not he iu vain, as also that it is uu-
I necessary to remind you of the many mo
i tives, beside that of PAfKibrisht, tve have
for affording the requisite aid. It cannot,
it must not be said, that Savannah has fal
j ten for the. want of any assistance which coulti
be afforded by the inhabitants of Augusta.

is irresistible and universal. It aiituiis of

There is now out one enquiry. How shall
they be quenched ? In the tears •of oar
; country r Or m tne blood of its enemies ?
You have felt horror and compassion at
the story of Hampton. The fate of YVusli

: t/icse scenes to be repeated ? or shall uno- j
jther triuihpn hnghteh every eye, warm every )
■ heart and add another trophy to those of |
Baltimore, Piattsburg and Mobile i To one !
of these even s you may contribute by your
supiueaess or your exertions. To which of
them we have no doubt. We know, we feel,
you will bestow liberally what is alone re
jquired, the means of preparation. This
(duty performed, you may await the issue
I witn ail the fearlessness of that conscious
j rectitude winch trusts iu Pov idence. If
I the city of our kindred and countrymen is

Heaven forever.
While in afflictions furnace
And passing through (hr fire,

Jn thine almighty favour,
The love divine which made, me thine,
Shall keep me thine forever.
