**r My* fir»t lieut-David Hope, was severely
• wounded'in the head, towards the close of the
. . battle and taken below, but was soon again on
deck, displaying that greatness of mifid and ex
ertion, which, though it may he equalled, can
never be excelled ; the third lieutl John Bui-
ford, was also wounded, but not obliged to quit
his quarters / second lieut. Samuel Motley,
and he, deserves my highest acknowledgments.
The cool and steady conduct of Mr. Walker,
. tii .; master, was very great during the battle;,
as also that of lieutenants Wilson and Magill,
of the marines. r~f ./ •
On being takeh on board the enemy’s ship, I
ceased to wonder at the result of the battle.
The United States is built with the scantling of
a 74 gun ship, mounting thirty long twenty-four
pounders (English ship guns) on her main-deck,
and twenty-two forty two pound corronades,
with two long twenty-four pounders on her
quarter deck and forecastle, howitzer guns in
her tops, and a travelling carronade on her up
per deck, with a complement of four hundred
and seventy-eight picked men.
The enemy has suffered much in masts, rig
ging and hull above and below wa'-er ; her loss
iu killed and wounded I am pot aware of, but I
know a lkut. and six men’hsve been thrown
.. overboard.
r Enclosed you will be pleased to receive the
1 names of the killed and wounded on board the
Macedonian j and have the honor to be, 8cc.

As the conduct of this press from henceforth
devolves on me, it seems necessary, in obser
vance of a practice that has aiiquired a prescrip,
tive character, to address the patrons of the es
tablishment. The paper, hereafter, will be en
tirely and ardently devoted to the maintenance
of such principles as we sacredly believed to be
I consonant with those which were strenuously
upheld by, and were made pre-eminently tri
umphant under, the guidance of Washing
ton. The men'now in power are sincerely
considered as the able and strenuous advocates
of precisely those principles which that great
man fought for and established. Such men,
under this solemn conviction, it will become a
. duty to defend, while ever their measures con
tinue; to be thought demonstrative of such con
sonance. Whenever their measures shall as
sume a character of a contrary nature (of which
^however, no apprehension is felt) at that mo
ment this pres* shall assume, with regard to
them, a different character also. This is suf
ficient to shew that while as at present, ap-
. proving ef the administration, and, of course,
the measures adopted, this paper shall most
. warmly endeavor to inculcate the justness and,
• necessity ot the war Just it is conceived, be
cause it is in the defence of rights, which we
ran never relinquish without being wrongedi
and necessary, because to be wronged, wuhout
resistance, would be effectually destructive of
our national character. To enter into an ex
tensive held of argument, to corroborate these
•Sentiments, is deemed move appropriate for
such future productions as will appear in
the 1 Us»fralican’s COTuiftns. But its patrons
3iay confidently rely on the utmost exertions of
the subscriber to render it an useful.and
a communicative sheet. As -to hews, the ear
liest practicable dissemination of information
shall be afforded.its patrons; and they muse be
left to judge of any merits of another descrip
tion. An-exertion to deserve tneir favor is
hereby feelingly promised; and if they see it
practically realized, he, who addresses them,
will be their happy, as well as (what he now
is) their respectlul and devoted fellow citizen.

^Cofyirr unication.—For a longtime I have
Tetnaihed a silent, but not an uninterested spec
tator of passing. events—of events which have
proved, to the great dissatisfaction of a majori
ty of the true aad genuine Americans, the ab
solute incompetency of the men now in power.
I have-viewed with no little concern and deep
regret, the successive and most disgraceful dis
asters which hare so uniformly attended the
American army, ever since the commencement
ol the present unjust, and consequently unne
cessary war with Great Britain. It is not diffi
cult ti form an accurate opinion of what have
been the princiyal and only causes cf these uni
form defeats aid disgraceful disasters. It is
v but.top clear to be perceived, that so long as
, • the treasury remains destitute of money, the
army of nieu, a ;d the cabinet of talents, probity
awF public confidence, so long will the war
prove disastrous to the United States.

mail beyond Raleigh. This morning the stage
due from that direction at 3 o’clock has not yet
arrived. The southern stage having been "al
ready detained three hours beyond its stated
time of departure, can wail no longer without
risking a failure.
“ A gentleman who arrived in town yester
day evening from the north, brought the Na
tional Intelligencer of the 35 h ult- with ibis
very important news, that a gentleman in
Pittsburgh, (Pen.) bad on the 17 h February,
received a letter from gen. HARRISON s at-
ing, that an engagement bad taken place be
tween the troops under his command and the
combined British and Indian forces on the river
Raisin, in which the enemy was completely
defeated. Their loss is estimated at 12000, and
ours at 1200.
“ There are several important captures also
mentioned, but not having the paper, my me
mory does not serve me sufficiently to give an
account of them. Some passengers now go
ing on will be able to detail these circumstan
ces better than T can, who am in the utmost
hurry.”
The above is corroborated by a'gentleman
of this city, who states that Mr. Gray, a mem
ber of congress from Virginia! had the account
—and further, that on the 35th ult. the Presi
dent sent a message to congress recommending
a general EMBARGO, which Mr. Gray did
not think would pass.

May, passed the house on the 24ih ult. by a

In consequence of this, the non-commission

their determination to fight against the enemies

The crew of the Atalanta have also present

‘ We have inserted from the National Intelli
gencer, the substance of Mr. Russell’s confer
ence with lord Castlereagh. This Mr. Russell
seems to have no small share of confidence He
thinks himself the pink df moderation and liber
ality—Nothing so easy as an arrangement, pro
vided we let hi.n settle the terms nis own way.
“I was asked.” he says, “ if the United States
would deliver up the native Biiti.h seamen who
might be naturalized in America—although
shocked at tnis demand, I mildly #,jlicd that
such a procedure would bc.disgraceiul to Ame
rica without being useful io Great Britain.”
Of the utility of having our own subjects deliv
ered up to us, we apprehend we are quite as
good judges hs Mr. Russell—but here is the
doctrine avowed, that naturaliza iin, in other
words, delivering a certificate oi citizenship to
a man who -has deserted the service of his coun
try, is immediately fc> put an end to the allegi
ance wjp^h he owes to his country. He talks
of naturalization as if it were a practice com
mon to oath nations, aad as if it were not a dis
graceful measure confined to America alone,
and never resorted to by this country.
The question of impressment and the right of
search is, we apprehend, settled on our side be
yond the possibility of our departing from it un
der any circumstances. We shall search all
merchantmen we meet with, and we shall take
our own subjects front any foreign vessels on
board of which we may find them.

Ia the observations which we yesterday sub
mitted to our readers, oa the question now at
issue with America, ws briefly alluded to the
disgraceful practice of seducing our teamed,
which it seems to be the determination of the
American governient to continue. We regret
to state, that our columns cf to day furaish ano
ther lamentable Imtance of this pernicious
doctrine—When the officers of the Maceaonian
wentou board the United States frigate as pri
soners, they recognized several British sea
men ! It is not to be wondered, therefore, that
the Americans hold out so sturdily for the pri
vilege of trepanning British subjects. All
that is brave, virtuous, manly, enlightened, no
ble and generous among them, is of British ori
gin. Theyyhave long been iti the habit of
seducing oar - artisans with impunity—they
,now wish to plunder onr navy of our best sea
men ; they will next lay claim to our army—
for it’has already excited their envy on the
plains of Canada*.
In the name of cur common country, we call
upon ministers to put an end to the clamorous
rapacity of these transatlantic croakers for
maritime superiority. We are for .a dreadful
blow being struck which shall resound through
out the whole of the United States.
We arc not disposed to call in question the
policy which has delayed the arm of vengeance,
but we trust that it has been slowly uplifted,
only to arm it with such “ quick consuming”
energies.
