cipally inflrumental in kindling this new flame which has broken out with so much violence in the North. I f. The Ruffian man of war taken by the Swedes is La Jenckil of 72 guns : The Ruf fian ihip funk in the engagement is La Pati carque of fcß guns. It was yesterday reported that an army of 50,c00 Prussians had marched to the support of the Swedes. We do not give any credit to it. ■’ Ey letters received from Stockholm, via Holland, it appears, tint his Swedith Maje fly had paffied ontbezzd ulu the river Kiiwen, and continued his march immediately forWy l>org, not four days march to Peterfburgh ; the Ruffian army was in no condition to face the Swedes, and it was confidently said that her Majefiy of Ruffiahad ictired to Novogo fod. 3af CHARGE of his Honor the Chief Ju/lice to the Grand Jury of the County of Chatham . , Gentlemen es the Grand Jury , THFi happy adoption of the new Confl'i tution by eleven of the dates opens a new and extensive profpeft of felicity to our country. Nearly furr'ouuded as we are, if I may so speak, on a frontier of four or five hundred miles in extent, by numerous tribes of savage and hostile Indians, the powerful am of the new government will be neces sary cfleftually to punifli them for the past, 3nd secure ur in future againlt their barbarous outrages. The United States in Congress af fcjnbled having been very properly imprefled with a sense of our calamities, did lately take such measures as mull eventually be attended with all the success our warmed withes can ditfate Indeed the interference of Congress is the more necefifcry, from the repeated boast of the Indians, viz. « that they are not with out affiflance and lam sorry to add, that the whole of their conduct, from the begin ning of their depredations down to the pre sent time, are but so raauy proofs of the as sertion. In the mean time the situation of ; our frontiers aSe so peculiarly diftrefling that flatc of more security ouglif'ufoT niiPf ft} ft’ftr patbize with our much injured fellow-citizens, but take some immediate fleps for their relief and fupport,{which in itfelf can only he tempo rary, as the arms of the United States will fuperlede the neceflity of a long continuance. The encouragement given to the negroes belonging to this (late by the Spanilli govern ment of East Florida becomes every day more alarming. It is true a representation has been made to Congress by the Legiflatnrc, but as the injustice remains ami increases, it will therefore be ma.ter worthy your serious confideration —the citizens cannot much long er fufler their property to be thus sported with. I have directed the proper officer to lay be fore you the Tax Returns-snd Lift of Defaul ters for the prefeut year; the law requires you to express your sentiments thereon ; and as the pre fling exigences of the republic de mand a punthtal compliance w ith that law, it is become the duty of every min in the go vernment to facilitate its operation. I am pleased to find, by information from the Attorney-General, that he has not much criminal business to lay before you. When breaches of the laws are few, it is a fore sign the Corporation of the town anJ Magistrates it the county have.been vigilant and active in 1 heir duty, 4 becaufethe certainty of punilh ir.cn: tends more to pteferve good order in society than the severity of it. The recent edablilhment of seminaries of learning in this country deserves the bigheft praiie; thje riling generation will feel the benfits of ihefe iqftitutions, and hold the pro moters in Rrateful remembrance. It js uyw our immediate duty to attend to the business < f the county, and as the avenues to penal jurifprwlence ought never to be ob fl 1 ufled, it will rctl with you, in the fit ft in fiance, to convince thole who are not govern ed by relipiou and morality that the laws will tc laitbfuuy executed.
