Dead Sir : I received yoor favor of May 29th by Mei8rt. Halls. 1 tta* much concerned that 1 had it not in my pfwer to treat those young gentlemen with aa much respect as their cbarac ten and your recommendation entitled them to W|g| your letter was delivered me, which was banfew days ago, we were in the utmost hur ry, packing up the library and apparatus for their removal to a distance In the ibuntry for safety, in consequence of an order of the Pro vincial Congress, .which was sent us that day— so that the young gentlemen could only take a transient view of things as they lay in confusion. It was then universally expected that there would be an actionin a day or two, which hap pened accordingly. The night following, a body of our men were sent to throw up an entrench. me.nl on a bill in Charlestown. As soon as the daylight appeared they were discovered and fired upon from the men-of war, and battery on Copp’8 Hill That day, 17th inst., exhibited a most shocking spectacle. About 2 o’clock in the afternoon a large body of regulars were carried over to Charlestown anti at 4 o’clock in the afternoon the tnen-of- war’s boats set fire to the town in different pla ces, which in a few hours was burned to the ground. When it was all in flames they attack ed our intrenchment, which waa very imperfect, being only the work of a few hours; but they were vigorously opposed, and a hot engage ment ensued, which lasted above an hour, it which numbers fell. When our soldiers had fired away almost all their cartridges, and the regulars were entering the entrenchment with their bayonets charged, and an incessant fire of artillery kept on them on all sides from the men- of war and the floating batteries, our people re treated and left them in possession of the hill. This advantage they probably purchased dear, though what'their loss was, we may never know exactly. *Tis affirmed their dead were seen lying in heaps on- the ground. Our loss was considerable; but, being now above twenty miles from the scene of action, 1 cannot give you any particular information about it. We lost some very good officers, but none is more universally lamented than our friend Dr. War ren, who had been appointed a Major General but a day or two before. I own 1 was sorry when l heard of this appointment, because 1 thought a man so much better qualified to act in other capacities than most are, ought not to he exposed in this way; unless in case of neces sity. But his zeal hurried him on, and he was killed in the intrenchment soon after he got there. We are now involved ift all the hoVrcYs of war, and are every moment expecting (o hear of another action. Is it not neces ary. Sir, that our army should he effectually supported, in or der to bring this cruel war to a speedy and for tunate issue ? Especially as there is no imme diate prospect of war in any other *part of America, and a vigorous support here may pro bably prevent its spreading to the other colonies. 1 am surprised to find you have so little intel ligence from hence. 1 thought there had been a constant intercourse kept up between the Provincial and Continental Congress. 1 ffien tioned this hint of yours to Dr. Warren, the evening before that fatal day ; he promised that he would write and put his friends on writing. But, alas! 9 lily respectful compliments to all friends, par ticularly to Col. Hancock and Dr. Franklin. I wrote to the Doctor soon after his arrival, but know not whether he has recewed my letter. I want much to write to some friends in England, but there is r.u conveyance this way. If Dr. Franklin should be aide, with safety, to keej; up bis correspondence with England, perhaps he might be willing to send toy letters with his. If I could know this, 1 would send them by the way of Philadelphia. But I own I aru in great deubt whether it will be prudent or practicable. God Almighty bless your counsels, ami ren der them effectual for the preservation of Ameri ca. Your faithful friend and humble servant. June 22.—Since writing the above, 1 have received two accounts from different bands of the loss on each side. 1 send them as I bad them. I have been also'told that the Regulars acknowledge 428 killed. Boston almost deserted by the inhabitants— Charlestown burnt down—Cambridge, Medford, Salem, Danvers and Marblehead almost desert ed. *Tis impossible at your distance to con ceive of the distress.” Tbis battle brought matters to a crisis. Af ter the conflict pf Lexington and Concord, re conciliation with the mother country continued in some quarters to be urged; but this event, the burning of Charlestown and the severity of the engagement, settled the question that there should be open war. And when the sun of the maker, and to charge him, demand and notice laflnence of Commerce upon Moral Nature. One benefit of Commerce is its influence upon the intellects sod the hearts of men. It eve# tm»U to stir the minds of a community, sod' produce ac tivity in business, and at the same timefostasi* * disseminates Christianity.

Whatever increases mental ‘1 or purifies aud elevates the affections of 0' P6 notch ’gain' to the community. The 1 liglon, cleariy allows that they have h ed and promoted by commerce. Since t that Paul went to Rome, in the merchant laden with wheat, wherever Commerce- lap spread her sailft, religion has lifted her banner. The mlssionarier of our country have gone to their respective fields of labor in mercbsnt shlpa. So in all ages, Commerce has been the band maid of religion.

The Supreme Court re- into effect, but in our cities, “whose merchants are princes, and whose traffickers are the hon orable of the earth I” Who are the chief sup porters of our great schemes of benevolent/ the boards of our churches ?

THe answer wfll* bfr K given by every one.—Hunt’s Merchant's Mag** versed this doctrine, and held that a note over due is payable whenever the holder chooses to demand it, which he may do immediately by an action at law, and that the endorsement of such a note is to be considered as if made upon a new note payable on demand, and that the legal operation of it is precisely the same as if the endorser bad drawn an inland bill of exchange upon the maker, payable at sight Consequent ly the endorser is liable only upon proof of de«i | Z tne. mand npon the maker within a reasonable time, 1 and immediate notice of the default given to the I AO Old Fort in Georgia \ * 1 endorser.

The Treaaorv Circular which we publish to-day lias much interest for the merchants of Charleston, At th6 commencement of Gen. Taylor’s adminis tration, Mr. Meredith, in strict conformity with law as well as with the plain interests of commerce, issued his order to remit the onerous tax 00 Span ish vessels coming to the United Ststed by the,way o Cuba What could have induced his successor in the Treasury Department, to revoke this order, and restore the almost prohibitory duty, it is difficult to comprehend,—unless it was io accordance w ith the perverse doctrine of protection, that a nation ia made richer by vexing ancl impoverishing its com merce. At any rate such notions find no favor with the present Administration, and as soon as Secretai ry Guthrie’s attention was. called to the subject, he proceeded with his characteristic energy and dr reetness, to determine, the right of the matter, and the result is the restoration of Mr. Meredith’s 01^ der. We are not only gratified at the decision of the Secretary, so accordant with the principles of free trade, but with activity he has displayed in set tling the question,—thus afibrding the best augury of his efficient management ofthe great Department an which the successful administration of the Gov * eminent so much depends.
