SAVANNAH EPLJBLICAN.
Thursday Ejscninp, March 2,1815;
THE CELEBRATiON.*
We are pleated to tee by the following pro-
clama.lon that the patriotic Council of our Ci
tjr has recommended SATURDAY next a* a
day for public'rejoicing*, on account of the
treaty of peace. I' is no common occurrence
to be celebrated t it is the happy termination
of a successful contest for rights and privileges
irhtifi we have obtained, under Heaven, by
our energy and courage alone. We have ob
tained an unshackled commerce, oav*l and
military glory, experience, self cneem* re*
spect of the world, and 'security from Insult
and aggression for years to come. We hare
ya<*ed all ibis, if nothing more, and this is
gi JBcient to make us rejojee with our whole
heart. Let, then, Saturday next be devoted
to foy—let every citizen observe it—let it be
a jublleej a festival, a holiday. Let business
bo suspended, labor relaxed, and the sons of
f-cedom decorate their brows with the olive o f
pe»ce intewoven with the Laurel of Victory.
he ns-ion rejoice and be glad.

the cirzens and inhabitants of Savannah, on
all occasions hereafter, to treat the subjects
of Great Britain with that respect ai d hospi
tality characteristic of a great and liberal na
tion ; ,.nd, by generously suppressing the feel_
ings arising from the late stats of war, to en.
exqrags harmony ami good will, so necessary

REPORTED BATTLE.
I We have seen several genriemen who arriv
ed in town last evening from S'. Maryland
•r* i> formed by them, 'hat it was asserted
there that on Thursday last a squadron of Bri
tish barges from Cumberland, containing about
SCO seamen and marines bad gone up the St.
Jt-aiy’s river tor rho purpoae of burning
CL-V *s mill*—'hat within a mile of the mills
the enemy were fr et on (he banks of the river
by 18 o' Si) patriots and es many militia from
ctfonei Scot 's camp- who engaged the barges,
drove them back end is said to have hilled and
grounded upws-ds of our hundred of the enemy.
The inbab'tantt of St. Mary's were much
alarmed, fearii g thr the British would, in
consequence of their defeat, burn the town.
The commander of the tqoadron is. said to
have (Jeer k ; l!ed—on the American side hone
killed or wcucdedi , . - j .
or to ILLUMINATE the Exchange on S

be o wners of ships ought to do the same, wi h

The following most interesting message was
verterday transmitted, by the president of the
United States, to both houses of congress ;
To the senate and
House of Reftrsentairoes of the United Staes
I lay before Qoogrcss copies of the treaty of
peace and .amity between the United State,
and his Britannic majesty, whch was signed
by the commissioners of both parties at Ghent,
on the 24th of December, 1814, and the ratifi
cations of which have been duly- exchang
ed; -
YVhije perfoitmjng this, act, I congratulate
you, and our constituents, 'upon, an event which
is highly honorable to the nation, and termin
ates with'peculiar felicity a compdign signal
ised by the most brilliant successes;
The late wa/, although reluctantly declared
by congress, hud become a necessary resort, to
assert the rights and-independence of the nation.
It ,has been waged with a success which is the
natural-result rif the legislative counsels, r.f ihe
patriotism of the propl?, of the public spirit,of
the militia, and of the valor of the military
aod naval forces of the country, Peace, at all
times a blessing, is peculiarly welcome, there*
fore, at a period when the causes for the war
have ceased to operate—when the govern
ment has demonstrated the efficiency of its
powers of defence—and when the nation can
review its conduct without regret, and without
reuroach. . s *
I recommend to your care and beneficence,
the gallant men whose achievements in every
department of military service, on the land
and on .the water, have so essentially ontribu
ted to the honor of the American name, and to
the restoration of peace. The feelings of con
scious patriotism and worth wifi animate such
men, under every change of fortune and pur-
suit—but th:ir country performs a duty to it
self, when it bestows those testimonials of ap
probation and applause, which are, st oner, the
reward, and (he incentive* to great actions.
The reduction of (he public expsneii-ures to
the demands ot a peace establishment with
doubtless, engage the immediate attention of
congress. There are, however, important
considerations which forbid a sudds j and gen
eral revocation of the measures that have been
produced by the war. Exnerience lias taugir
us, that neither the pac’fic depositions of the
American people, nor clto pac*fic character of
their palit'cal institutions, can altogether ex
empt them from that stri fcwh'ch appears, be
yond the ordinary lot of nation", tn-boritic-deri'
to the actual period nfthe world; and the same
faithful monitor demonstrates that a ccr'ain
degree of preparation for war, is net only in
dispensable to overt disaster in the onset, bri
affords also the best security for the continu
ance of peace. The wisdom of congress will,
therefore, I am coi fident, provide for the main
tenance cf an adequate regular force ; for the
gradual advance cf the naval es'ahJisbmcat ;
for improving all the means of harbor defence;
for ad-bog discipline to the d stingulvhctl
bravery of the- militia, and for cultivating the
miliraiy an, in its essential branches, under j
the liberal pa ronage of government.
The resources of our country were at all
times, compe:etv. to the attainment of every ra
tional object ; but they will now be enriched
and invigorated by the activi'y which peace
will introduce into all 'he scenes of dorrest'c
enterprise and labor. The providon that has
been made for the public creditors, during the
present session of congress, must have a de
cisive effect in rite establishment ot the public
cred t,both at home and abroad. The reviv
ing interests ot commerce vylll claim the legis
lative attention at (he earliest opportunity ; and
such rcgulaiions w'll, I trust, be seasonably
devised as shall secure fo the United St -is
their just proportion cf the navlga ion of the
world. The roost liberal poliry towards o'hcr
nations, it met by corresponding depositions
will, in ibis respect, be found the most brnefi
cial policy towards ourselves. But there is no
subject that can enter wi'.h greater force and
merit into the deliberation of congre3“, than n
considcation of the means to preserve and
promote the manufactures which have sprung
into exis'ence, and attained an unparalleled
maturi-y through "at the United States during
the period of the European wars. This
source of national independents and wealth, I
anxiously recommend to the prompt and con
stant guardianship of congress,
Tbc termination of the legislative se'sinn
will soon sepaia e you, fellow citizens, from
tach other, and restore you to your consritu
en«s. I pnsy you to bear with you the expres
sions of my-sanguine hope, that the peace
which ha* bc«:v just declared will not only be
the foundation of the most friendly intercourse
between the United States and Great Britain,
but 'hat it will also be preductive of happiness
and harmony in evey section of otlr heloved
country. The influence of your precepts and
example must be every where powerful * and
while we accord in grateful acknowledgements
for the protection which Providence has be
stowed upon u«, let us never cease to ir culcatc
obedience to the laws, and fidelity to the union,
as constituting (he pallotTum of the narional
independence and prosperity
