rence which we cannot express, the late gross
and unparalelied insult offered to our nation,
by the premeditated murder committed on our
citizens on board the Chesapeake trigute under
the command of commodore Barton; and be
lieving that these acts will he regarded by our

quently produce measures of retaliation and
revenge.—

rity the orders of our government, in opposing

At a meeting of the Richmond 1 roop of
C avalry, held at the Eagle Tavern, on Friday
evening 26‘rii June, 13 )7 ; called by order of
the captain, lor the purpose of expressing their
sentiments upon the late outrage committed
on the flag of the United Slates :
On motion of Andrew S even on, seconded
by Dr. J. //. duushee, ihe following i evolutions
were adopted :
The members of the Richmond Troop of
Cavalry have beheld with the Deepest indigna
tion the late base, and unmanly outrage com
milted by the British ship Leopard, upon the
American frigate called toe Chesapeake.
L Resolved, therefore , That being justly
sensible of the happiness enjoyed under our
present government, as by law established ;
we do view with abhorrence and detestation,
this outrageous and dating attack upon our li
berties, and the murder of our seamen, as a
mounting to a decl ration of war on the part
of Great Britain ; and an attempt to trample
upon the rights and sport with the lives of cur
citizens.
2. Resolved therefore. That we will defend,
at the hazard of our lives and property, every
a’tuck upon the .government and liberty of our
country from every foreign power whatever.
3. Resolved, I hat Doctor J. 11. Foushee,
Wm. Fenwick, and Andrew Stevenson, be ap
pointed a committee to draft a suitable address
to the President of the United States, from
this company, m iking a tender to him of their
services, whenever the situation of our countrv
shall require, or he think necessary to demand
them.

Major Joa.v Ward was unanimously called to the
chair.
I he chairman, in a short hut eloquent fneeeh, dated
to the meeting what he considered to he the cause of
their a.Temhling. He reminded them that in all largy
meetings, it generally happened that measures w re
agreed upon and carried too hafti y ; that in the pre
sent indance, and in an affair of such deep consequence
to the country, it ought to be the (ludy of the meet
ing to make their deliberations known with cocdnef,
and with dignity ; for this purpose it appeared to him
that the piopcr mode of expressing their sentiments
would be through a committee, to be appointed by
the meeting. This ftpfnion was unanimrmsly concur,
ted in—Whereupon,a motion was made, that the fol
lowing named gentlemen be a committee to draw ujs
Inch resolutions, exprellive of the public sentiment, at
tiny fliould think proper, and that they Ihould make
