’. The Mayor and aldermen of the city of Sa-
£ Vann ah, participating with their fellow-citizen#,
. in the enjoyment of blessings flowing from the
. happy termination of the just ana necessary
3 war In which the American people have lately
- Been engaged, take advantage of the present

. wolarly experienced, to approach the President
j of the United States, ana to offer their thanks
. and their gratitude for the patriotism, energy
' and firmness, displayed bv him, during the
, most unuromising period of that contest, the
result of which has given an imperishable re-
sown to the arms of the Republic, and filled
T with proud exultation the hearts of its citizens.
it 11 therefore unanimously resolved. That

President in such manner as he may think pro-
Eatractfrom the minutes,
1" D. D. Williams, c. e.
_ „>« • Savannah, 5th June, 1815.
Sin—The people of this city have been as
jdlstmguhhed for their patriotism, as for a con
sistent, uniform and zealous support .of repub
lican administrations They have on no occa-
i tion listened to the voice of faction, when the
-interests of the country, or the measures of go-
I vernmeot, have called for their services and ac-
quiescence.
- They'believed the late war to have been just,
lleeessary and righteous—because it was ren-
-•dered inevitable, by the contempt the enemy
had. evinced for the American spirit, and the
outrages he had committed on those essential
lights and principles, which had given this Ile-
publie a separate and dignified station among
the powers of the earth. It was a war, then,
which should have taken to its aid the united
Valor and enthusiasm of the whole American
people ; for it was a second struggle for the
maintenance of those privileges and doctrines,
consecrated by the blood, and virtue of the ’76
patriots. This was a momentous crisis: it ex-,
hibited the interesting spectacle of the last Re
public, engaging, single handed, one of the
, ImOst powerful monarchies of the world. Will
J' not posterity blush tolcarn, sir, thatat this ca
lamitous period, big with .the fate of freedom,
tretions of this envied'nation'reared the crest
of'a traitorous disaffection, withheld their con*
tingents, and refused their co-operation in the
common cause ? ‘ That sections at this period,
tejoiced in the carnage and triumphs of foreign
despots, but deemed it unbecoming to manifest
by public demonstration* a joy in the splen
did achievements and triumphs of their coun
trymen ? That efforts were made to paralize
the measures of the government,'in its un
daunted and vigorous prosecution of the war ?
AH this was done ; but enough of' valor and
patriotism remained to csrry our country
through the war with glory and reputation ;
Si enough of both remained to prove the energy
V and stability of a federal republic, and to sub-
vcrvihe hypothesis of European statesmen and
philosophers, that such a formed political in
stitution is not fitted to withstand the ruder
shock* of external violence.
. The experiment has been, tried, snd the
world may now be convinced^ that a federal
representdtiv^—democracy, upon the model of
the American, is suited to all the purposes of
.... war ape^of peace. This affords abundant mat-
R telf for exaltation to every man, "who has the
honor to-be a citizen of this great common-
" wealth. . . .., • ■ h, si!

LATEST FROM GIBRALTAR.
By the brig Grenada, which arrived at this

time the Algerine squadron had not passed into,

Mslta of 80, Montague of 74, and three .other

The day we sailed, May 10th, two men
were taken from on board the General Scott, to
wit, Thomas Hodges, Montgomery county, Ma

chusetts. registered Cape-Ann, who were late
ly released from Dartmoor prison. Two others
were taken from on board the Spartan, captain
Moon. Not having seen captain Moon, I did
not learn the particulars of the last two men.,
The officers informed the captains that they
were taken by an order from adm:ral Fleming,
to serve on board the frigate Meander.
“ These men will, no doubt, be detained, as
there was no consul at Gibiallar to claim them,

AFFAIRS OF SWEDEN.
The King of Sweden has b en called upon
te evacuate Swedish Poiht r^nis, agreeably to
the stipulations ot the treaty of Kiel ; but the
Swedish Monarch has repi-tid, that Denmark
having failed to put Sweden in possession of
Norway, and Sweden having been obliged to
cooq.Kr that kingdom, the treaty oi Kiel could
not tie appealed to. This "object is pregnant
with important consequences.—Rost, ten.
FROM HAVANA.
Captain Ballastrinos, of the Spanish schoon
er Elvira, fiom Havana, informs, that markets
there were very dull; flour 18 dollars, and the
duties on flour imported in American vessels
were nine dollars and a half per barrel. He
left at Havana about 30 sail of merchant ves
sels.
We learn from Havana, by the schooner El
vira, that all the French vessels in that port un
der the Bourbon flag had been detained un
til the ..issue of,the late counter-revolution
in France should be known,'' and instruc
tions be received from the Spanish govern
ment. . f . .
FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Captain Aderton, in 13 days from Port an
Prince, confirms the account of a Spanish
squadron, from Spain, with treiops having ar
rived off and taken possession of the Island of
M rgaretta: and that they bad put to death, in
discriminately, all the men, women and chil
dren on the Island. A Spanish 74 had blown
np, and every person on board (1200 in number)
perished. Carthagona had been bombarded
for 30 days, and the canse'of the patriots was
despaired of in'that quarter. The chieftains,
Petion and Christophe, were in a state of peace,
although they bad made no treaty with each
other. ’
