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.

Columbian 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— Columbian,_ ....— ... .... * . 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 lftti ult. from a successful cruise in the West- 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. The Boston Sfiectato-, a little 'ory print says—* 1 a great man has compared the nor thern and southern sta'es to man and wile- He might have added then, that we are under petticca' government. The Buckskins certain ly wore the breeches !” 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 man, to fill! he vacancy occasioned by tbe re 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.
