It would be improper to close
this communication without expref
fmg a thankiulnefs, in which all
ought to unite, for the numerous
belliings with which our beloved
country continues to be favored;
for the abundance which over
spreads our land, and the prevailing
health of its inhabitants; for the
prdorvaticn of our internal tran
tjulitv, and the (lability of our free
iriftitut’ons; and above all for the
light of divine truth, and the pro
•iCtiOi. of every man’s confciencc
it; *r,c enjoyment of it. And al
though among our blcffmgs we
cannot number an exemption from
the evils of war, yet these will nev
er be regarded as the greatest evils,
by the friends of liberty, and of the
rights of nations. Our country
has before preferred them to the de
grading condition which was the
alternative, when the sword was
drawn in the cause w hich gave birth
to our national independence; and
none who contemplate the magni
tude, and feci the value of that
glorious event, will fhiink from a
Aruggle to maintain the high and
happy ground cn which it placed
the American people.
With all good citizens, the jus
tice and neccflity of refilling
wrongs and usurpations no longer
to be borne, will fufliciently out
weigh the privations and facrifices,
•nfeperable from a Rate of war.—-
But it is a reflection, moreover, pe
culiarly colliding, that whilff wars
are generally aggravated by their
baneful eflecls on tl#e internal im
provements and permanent profper
itof thr na? ns engaged in than
such is the favored fit nation o. n.c
Ijnited States, that the calamities
of thecontcfl into which they have
been compelled to enter, are miti,
gated by improvements and advan
taged of which the coniclt irfclf is
the source.
If the war has intreafed the in
terruption of our commerce, it has
at the fame timecherUheJ and mul
tiplied our manufactures, so as to
make us independent of all other
countries for the mofl eflential
branches, for which we ought to
be dependent on none; and which
i will create additional staples in our
; future intercourse with foreign mar
! kits.
It much treasure has been ex
pended, no inconsiderable portion
{ * of it has been applied to objects
curable in their value, and ncccila-’
, ry to our permanent fafety.
If the war has exposed us to in
; crcafcd ipoliatiorts on the ocean,
and to predatory incursions on tlic
land, i: has developed the national
means of retaliating the former, &
ol pioviding protection againff the
latter; demonflrating to all, that
every blow aimed at our maritime
independence is an impulse acceler
ating the grow th of our maritime
power
By diiTufmg through the nufs
of the nation the elements of mili
tary dilcipline ar.d inftructiun, by
augmenting and diffributiug war
like preparations, applicable to fu
ture ule, by evincing the zeal and
valor with which they will be em
ployed, and tlie’cheerfuinefs with
which every necessary burden will
be borne; a greater icfpecl tor our
rights and a longer duration of our
future peace are proiniled, than
could be exptdcd without these
proofs oi the national character and
refourccs
The war has proved, moreover,
that our free government, like other
free governments, though flow in
its early movements, acquires in
its progress a force proportioned to
its freedom; and that the union of
these flutes, the guardian of the free
dom and lalety of all and of each,
is lengthened by every cccafion
that puts it to the tell.
In tine, the war, with all its vicif
fltudes is illustrating the capacity
and the of the United States
to be- a great, a flourifhing, and a
powerful nation; worthy of the
friendfhip which it is disposed to
cultivate with all others; and au
thorilcd, by its own example, to
require from all an observance of
the laws of juflice and reciprocity.
Beyond thele their claims have nev
er extended ; and, in contending
for these, we behold a subject for
our congratulations, in the daily
testimonies of encreafing harmony
throughout the nation, and may
humbly repose our trufl in the
Imiles of Heaven on so righteous
a cause.

THE GALE.
Ou Friday evening last amr.ft
dreadful gale of wind was: xperienc
ed here from the S I Ir com
menced a li::KT after five o’clock,
and ceased its \ iuler.ee about seven
when the wind suddenly veered to
the N. \Y. and the La gradually
funk into a calm.
Seldom has been witnefftd a
more melancholly ; ud awful fight,
than that exhibited V-n Friday'eve
ning. The day had but just doled
when the gale commenced, rht- e ve
ning was extremely dark, the tide
was flowing, and the rain at inter
vals fell in heavv {bowers. Many
vessels in the luibur loon drove
from their anchors; others broke
from the wharves, and notwith
standing the care which had been
taken to secure them, and all feem
t and doomed to deftru&ion.
Frequently were guns fired of
diftreis, and blue lights thrown out
by Jurh of hi; majesty’s fliips, as
were fuffeiing in-the gale. ‘lbis
circuml Lance, the tiarki.efs of the
night, and the piercing crie3 of per
sons fearful of drowning, which
were often heard in situations
where alone the hand oi the Al
mighty could afford them relief, in
etcafed the gloomy horrors of the
feene.
It was not until the next morn
ing the dft’eds of the gale were w ho
ly to be seen. On the fide of the
harbor lome wffds lay luuk, others
appeared much iii : j:od, and the op
jxifite fltore from the eaflem hat:e
ry to the mouth of rhe Narrows,
appeared covered with wrecks.
