Iby the Brttif* wation. Wh:a at the tersninai-
I turn of our revolutionary conted, Great Britain

I independence to which the American people had
I entitled theiTsfrlves, by a furies of wife and mag-
I nanihious exertions in the cabinet, and by multi-

I lit of ‘commercial adventure, which irnitoruily
I diilingmflied oar countrymen, which the weafi-
I nefs ana inefficiency of the ancient confederation
I did not permit us to repeal.
Wiien under the auspices of the great chaster
I of our liberties, the federal coaffitution, the en
| critics of the nation had b een concentered in the

to herfelf her proper fiction among the nations !
of the earth, Great Britain preferibed to herfelf I
a conduct which under the mafic of friendftjip, >
covered an enmity rs deeply rooted and veno
mous, as it was tie-hdieious and unmanly. Re
iving upon her naval {up.richly, five hath, in
Eunberiefs inilances,.plundered the property of
our merchants upon the ocean, and hath violated
the perfpnal liberties of our citizens by imprefs
meats. In the exerci'e of a pretended i;g it to
search, fne hath blockaded oar hut bora, and hath
ff.ed the blood of of a peaceable and unoffending j
citizen gs the United States, engaged In the

Regularly, yet ardently pudding tue courffi*
thus marked out ior her governance, (he hath,
at length, ventured to commit a deed, whole un
paralleled enormity hath aroused the indigna
tion of every American bosom. In the me
meat of unfufpefting confidence, under the i
protection of a fupcr::>r force, sue hath minded
the flag of our nation, and, amid the anguifired
gr„a of the dying, and the mangled ca, .-T.-s
of the dead, the hath proceeded to i xercife- a
pretended right, as unfounded in the cod-: of
any civilized nation, as the mode of its enforce
ment hath been treacherous knd cowardly.
At such a crisis, the Commmd c in Chief
flatters himfelf, that one sentiment will animate
the wliole people of Georgia-*— tint every mi.
nor confideratian will yield to a:i ardent a.mictv
tor the general Weal. If to the motives to be :
derived from cue contemplation of the unprovok
ed enormities of a treacherous foe, it be aect f.
fary to add others, to induce the Volunteers or
Georgia to be prompt in the tender of ib ‘

While, trier:fore, in obedience to the. reqir.fi

proceeds to order ad aft of the militia—from
the well ftiiowu patriotism of his count>ymen,
the Commander in Chief confidently anticipates
that the accefii-y of such a draft will be in ;■

GREAT-BRI TAIN, at the present mo

• The period has now arrived when that rapa
cious country is to receive chad.ifement juflly
; meritted by a series cf years which were dis
tinguished only for afts of desolation and “ hu
man butchery.” At the memorable treaties cf
, rieintz, five formed alliances with every power
ful nation on the Continent, equipped their sol
diery with military cccutrements, supplied them
abundantly, and set them in general unison at
1 warfare with France. These powers, thus made
the miserable agents of Great-Britain, to obtain
for her, If possible, the gratification cf a ran
corous :.:id vindictive pnffion, have been already
put to flight ; and were compel!.d to fubrnit to

ferocious temerity of the -J uTacs, ana the

Her lafi hope now centres in Ruffir. She
figures t-ith exr.efi expectation, and mu ft, if

to re-open them.
Every quarter of the earth ha? cause to
curse the Britilii government, o'ne has by the
wiles of curruption deluged Europe in blood;
and she has uniformly plundered the lishes of

She has oppressed otir commerce by die groCcfl:

For all these enormities five vviil he rigidly
