That the Mayor do communicate the above to the 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! ffrtttfpgtfod of the late contest did yon des- New York, June 20.

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.

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. ’ The members of the Chatham Artillery am hereby ordered to be at their Laboratory on Tuesday next, the 4th July, at 9 o’clock A.-Hi in lull uniform.
