8l»—I have hot a moment, the man being
nb«wt to dose. To present the evil of northern
.Iptcfliitoi npoo the agricultural interest of
«or state 11 avail myself of the moment to in-
-t , _ farm you, shat a recommendatioo for a repeal

' rich* or'neutral vessels has just been receired
by the house, from the President. lam. See,
Thomas Teivai*.
The message alluded to b the abore letter,
sre received by last evening's mail, from oar
attentive friend, which follows :
V), . .,. HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
The following message was, on the 31st alt.
transmitted by die President of the United
States to both Houses of Congress:
w To the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United Statet.
Taking into view the matnal interest which
the United States and the foreign nations in
amity with them, bare in a liberal commercial
intercourse, and the extensive changes favora
ble thereto, which have recently taken place ;
taking into view aim the important advantages
which msy otherwise result from adapting the
atate of oar commercial lsws to the circum
stances now existing : ,
I recommend to the cobsiderstion of Congress
the expediency of authorising alter a certain
day, exportations, specie excepted, from the
United States, in vessels of the United States,
and in vessels owned and navigated by the sub
jects of powers ar peace with them t and a re
peal of so much of our laws as prohibits the
importation of articles not the property of ene-
- mles, but produced or manufactured only with-
jn their dominions.
I recommend also, as a more effectual safe,
guard and encouragement to our growing ma
nufactures, that the additional duties on im
ports which are to expire *t the end of one
year after a peace with Ureat-Britain, be pro
longed to the end of two years after that events
and that, in favor of monied institutions, the
exportation of specie be prohibited throughout
the same period. Iambs Madison,
March 31*f.
The tn essage having been read, was, in both
boose, referred to the committee on foreign re
lations.

Mr: Fell—Understanding that the FIRE-
BUCKETS were deposited in the Guard.Hmise

which were lost on the night of the late fire s

seventy tuckets, scattered over the ground,
some of which belo"g to citizens and ethers to
different engines—these buckets are in a fair

BOSTON MOB.
.. i,
' “ Wee unto you, Hypocrite* !"
SHAMS! CX. OUTBAOB (
On Thursday last a most disgraceful scene
took place in this town. . One of the officer* of
the customs, having received information that
some goods illegally imported were supposed
to be secreted ins certain 'waggon, stopped tbe
teamster in Cambridge port, lor tbe purpose of
scarcfaing.br them. A trunk, containing goods
apparently British, was found; and oo tbe
teamster's refusing to show a certificate of the
goods, tbe officer drove tbe waggon to tbe cus
tom bouse in Boston. Upon arriving at tbe
custom bouse, a mob assembled, who teveral
time* struct the officer, and likewise most
shamefally abused Mr. Ford. From tbe sa
rage disposition manifested by tbe mob, it
was easy to perceive they were ripe for blood-
abed.
We *re happy to leans that the collector has
directed a prosecution to be commenced by. the
Vnited States’district attorney against the ring,
leaders of tbe mob; and that however audacious
such men may be, they will fird that the laws
of the United States are not to be trampled
upon sritb impunity.
Tbe well disposed and orderly part ol socie
ty will at ooce descern in this procedure wbat
they are to expect, should the Strongs the
OtttEMnd Fessensbns of the present day be
again railed to power in Massachusetts. Should
the factious “ Report’• made at tbe last session
be brought forward by governor Strong next
summer, and read in the presence of such an
infuriated mob, it would not be surprising if tbe
streets of tbe metropolis were to be stained with
tbe blood, and strewed with the bodies of its
inhabitant*.—Botin Patriot.
THE NAVAL CHALLENGE
It is observed of the naval correspondence
near New-London, that the letters of commo
dore Decatur do him probably at much honor
as his seamanship and fighting ; the gentle
manly, candid and explicit style of his writing
being equally creditable to bis pen, as his gal
lantry and skill in combat are reputable to his
sword. His reply to captain Stackpole's illib
eral remark on the merit of tbe dispute be
tween the two countries, is modest and dignifi
ed. And in no part of his communication do
we find the least tincture of the vaporiog brag
gadocio, too often conspicuous in the reports
and manifestoes of naval and military coalman-
'derv. We are happy to receive proofs of t he
ability of our officers to defeod themselves and
their country on paper as well as in tbe field.
Tbe union of the gen'leman, tbe scholar and
tbe soldier forms a most estimable character
injhe-cervice ot any government or cause—

IMPRESSMENT.
A Mr.Lewis. repheWto General Wash
ington is now *t Washington, on his return
from several vears slavery on board a British
map of war, .where he was impressed. The
Intelligencer states, that his treatment was of
the most atrocious dye. Mr. Lewis owes it to the
justice of his country’s cause to make a state
ment of the facts of his case.
A writer in the Intelligencer, remarking up-
on the impressment of young Thaver, as re
lated by com. Decatur, -in bis letter publish
ed in the Patriot pf Friday last, says “ I find
by tbe letter of captain Capel, in answer to the
commodore, that he seems to entertain little
or no doubt ofThayerVdischarge when appli
cation is made to the commander in chief.—
Thus, then, it .would seem, that while any Bri
tish lieutenant or midshipman mrv at pleasure
throw ,n American citizen into slavery, it re
quires the commander in chief to restore him
to his liberty !—Bafrimore Patriot.
Tbe privateer schooner Come', Boyle, of
Baltimore, arrived at Beaufort, N. C. on the

Indies. On the eriiise she has captured
TWENTY SAIL of the enemy's vessels ; 7
of which were manned and ordered for tbe
United Sta>es, 4 ransomed, and the test de
stroyed.

PARTICULARS
Ot the capture of the French frigates.
Captain Stacy, (arrived in the cartel Rising
States) was a passenger in tbe French letter of
marq je brig Jason, Plssard, of U guns and 61
men, from Bordeaux, (27 h December) with a
cargo of wines, silks. &c. bound to New York,
which was captured, 4 days cut, by the Vene-
able 74, admiral Durham, in 1st. 45 50, Ion.
13 alter a sh irt chase, in which the Jason threw
12 guns, and other articles overboard. Captain
Stacy was taken on- board the Venei able, a
lieuteusnt ard 20 men put on board the Jason,
and ordered to keep company.
January 16 h, the Island of Teneriffe in
,igh;, discoveted two enemy's ships of War,
gave chase, and io about 6 hours came up
With thorn, when they hoisted French colors.
One of them wore, fired three b-oadsides at the
Venerable, in a raking position; then bore down
n her, gave three cheers, *• Vrve I* Etnpe
rour lay her along, ard at erupted to b e d
her but was repufsed. Ab u* 50 oftbe Venera
ble’s crew then beard d the frigate on the bow
and fought a considerable time on deck, wher
;hree of the .lower deck guns beirg fi-ed from
he Venerable into her, she struck, having
bout 30 killed and 40 wounded She proved
be the French friga e Alckmene. 44 guns,
330 men. At the commencement ol tbe an-
u'oa, a Hoop of war was to sight, which csihe
uprwitb them pfierfrards, sod proved to be tbe
Cyane, fBrit'tsb.J
Tbe other frigate, (tbe commodore's ship)
soon after the Alckmene engagsd tbe Vene<a-
ble, made all tail and run off—cut her anchor
from the* bow, sod threw her baits, Re. over-
boatd. Tha Cyaoe and Jsson then gate chase
to her, the latter continued to pursue liar only
that night, and tfae-fonner for three day*. The
Veoerabte lay to nearly two days to repair
damages, , her fore rigging, rails, kc. being all
cut to pieces,only one sbrowd standing, and six
feet of tbe starboard fore yard toot away,
Oo the 19 h, at 3 o'clock, r. w. she discov
ered the frigate, with tbe Cyane ttiil in ebsse,
and immediately pressed all sail after them ;
at about half past four o’clock next morning,
gave the frigate a bow gun, which was return
ed from Her stem guos ; at about 5, the Ven
erable came up with her, gave her two broad-
sidey from her upper deck battery, and three
guoa from her lower derk. which was return
ed by tiro broadsides from the frigate, when
she struck. She proved to be the French
frigate Ipbigene, of 44 guns and 330 men
None killed or wounded on either side.
About 200 of tbe prisoners were then put on
board tbq Cyane, and she was sent to England.
The Venerable, the frigate and the Jason,
shortly'after arrived at Barbadoea, and the
latter wu condemned and told, vessel and
cargo, for about 840,000.
Captain Stacv could aot ascertain the loss
on board the Venerable, in tbe engagement
with the Alckmene. The Venerable mounts
83 guns, and had about 6:10 men in tbe action.
We arp authorised to state that Benjami*
Sheftall, esq. wilt be a candidate for Alder

signation of Edward Harden, esq.
Died, in this city, on tbe 30th ultimo. Mrs.
Sarah MTntosh. aged 74 years, the widovt
of Major General Lachlan M'Intosh. *
Mrs. M'Intosh was born in Charleston in the
year 1740, bat spent most cf her life in this
state.
In recording the merits of deceased persons,
a common-place panegyric is usually resorted
to, which, from its indiscriminate application,
leaves little or no impression upon the public
sentiment—it originates however in the lauda
ble motive of nil niri de bonis mortuiim, and
therefore will always find an apology, in the
estimation of all the pious and amiable mem
bers of the community. But to th»t species of
panegyric it is not necessary to revert in paying
an appropriate tribute of respect to the memo
ry cf the venerable and respectable Mrs. McIn
tosh—the simplicity of her manners, her affec
tionate character, and disinterested generosity
of soul, being too generally known and establish
ed, to require any of the tinsel vmlielti Jtments
of a labored, -and extorted eulogy. When the
language of truth 2nd sincerity attributes these
qualifications to the deceased, as muck is said,
as either friendship or duty can express;—and
it is only necessary to add, that though sum
moned to'the tribunal of her God, it an age
beyond that usually allowed by the precarious
tenure of life'in this climate, thef regrets of her
relatives have been as poignant as if the event
had been unnexpected and unlooked for. They
feel tkflt an old friend has left them, endeared
by ail those ties which spring out of' a long, ha
bitual and affectionate intercourse, and under
the influence of that reflection, their lamenta
tions have not been restrained by considerations
ether circumstances might suggest. .
Bred up in the tempest ef the Revolution,
and retaining the elevated-spirit which distin
guished the matrons of that eventful crisis,
Mrs. M'Intosh met the stroke of death with
fortitude, and a becoming resignation to the will
of that Supreme Being, who sooner or liter
snatches his creatures trom litis vale of tears,
and conveys them to hit bosom.
