tinder ‘toe subject of the Irttei is
the aELTCtoVi oastnvATioH of :h£ Sab-
Jba/h— A subject ‘dt no small but
lamentably too ffefteraity disregarded. fV'e.
Earnestly request otr readers to give it An if?
tentive and careful perusal. It will be found
to be judiciously and impressively managed,
«n4 cannot Bui, we think, to be interesting;
to all denominations and descriptions of per
sons in our coontry. To Bup-ists it must be
Influential, as bei.ig the affectionate and pas
toral address of so respectable and pious a
portion of their Clergy, an address too so a
ply supported by scripture add reason. To
, Methodists, Presbyterians, and other deno
; tarnations It will be grateful, as well as in.
structive and admonitory. Arid to those who
Sire not professors of religion, even to infideis
themselves, who have any claim to the virtue
of patriotism, or who at all appreciate the
peace and happiness of civil society* and
would wish to have rendered as secure as
possible, the lives, liberty and property of
individuals, it cannot be without some good
effect. Deists acknowledge that a sense of
moral obligation in the mtnds of men gene
tally, greatly promotes the well being of ci.
e?!/'society. And many Deists agree with
Universal experience in acknowledging, that
the institutions of Christianity, and especi
ally the religious observation of the Sabbath,
and its immediate duties, greatly cherishes,
and’ promotes, in the minds of men, a sense
of moral obligation. So true is this* that tJ
mine nr Deistical Philosophers have acknow
ledged the inefficiency of all their reasonings,
and of alJjheir efforts to eradicate christiuni.
ty from the world, so long as, the
Ond the Lord's Supper shall lllreligiousl/ re
garded. Let this consideration animate the
fiends of religion to regard the Sabbath,*-
May the Divine Head of the Church succeed
the laudable attempt above alluded to, to
promote in our country the religious observa
tion of the Sabbath.

2 ithfegt. U. S. Infantry, have Ob
tained ft signal victory over the ene-
Thk affair tobk place on the 4th
Inst. about 100 miles from this place
on the river De Trench. force
consisted of no more than 160 ran
gers and mounted infantry. The e
nemv, from their own acknowledg
ment, had about 240. The fine
light company of the Royal Scots is
totally destroyed ; they led the at
tack most gallantly, and their com
mander fell within ten paces bf our
front line. The light company of
t t B§th has also suffered severely ;
one officer of that company fell, one
is a prisoner, and another is said to
be badly wounded. In killed , woun
ded ftnd prisoners, the enemy lost
about 80—whilst on our part there
were but four killed and four wound
ed. I'his great disparity in the loss
on each side, is to be Attributed to
the very judicious position occupied
by capt. Holmes, who compelled the
euemy to attack him at great disad
vantage ; this, eVbn more than gal
lantry, merits the laurel.
Capt. Holmes has just returned,
and Will furnish ft detailed account
of thft expedition, which shall im
mediately be transmitted to you.
Very respectfully, you most bbe

to you enclosed, a despatch received
by me from Capt. Capel. the 4 coin-
of the British squad

to an application of mine* for the re
lease of an American seaman detain
ed against his will on board the frig
ate Statira) <
Hiram Thayer, born in the town
of Greenwich, >|n the county of
Hampshire, and commonwealth of
Massachusetts, was impressed into
the naval service of Great Britain,
in itik month of August 1803, and
detained ever since. About 6 years
ago when the Staiifa was put in com
mission, he was transferred to her,
and has been on board to
this day. / - m T
l am informed, and in fact it was
staled by tapt. Stackpole to Lieui
Hamilton,, Avho Was charged with
thb flag, that the late gen. Layman,
opr Consul at London, made applica
tion to the Lords Commissioners
for the discharge of fhayeJ, but they
were-i)ot satisfied with the evidence
John ‘J payer, the father of Hiram
xnz that the cu lificaie of the
Selectmen, the Town Clerk and the
Minister of Greenwich, were forward- f
eds sdme time ago to Mr. Mitchell the
resident agent for American prison
ers of Warmt Halifax, but Hoes not
know the reason why he was not re
leased then.
The ton has lyritten to his father
aad informed him that oh represen
ting to capt. Stackpoie that he was
an American citizen and would nbt
fight against his country, that captain
Stackpole told him “if they fell in
With art American man of war and
he did not do his doty, he should be

On Monday the 14th insu John
Thayer requested me to allow hi id a
flag to gb off to the enemy and ask
for the release of his Son. This I
granted at once, & addressed a note
to capt. Capel, Stating that 1 felt per*
suaded that the application of the
father, furnished aS he was with dbn*
elusive evidence of the nativity and
the indentity of the son, would induce
an immediate for his discharge.
Ihe reply is enclosed. The son dess
cried his father at a distance in the
boat, and told the first lieutenant of
the Statira that it was h& father, and
1 understand the feelings manifested
by the old man oh receiving the hand
of his son, proved all other
[ evidence the property he bad in him/
t There was not a doubt left oh the
• mind of single British officer of Hi-’
( ram Thayers being an American
► citizen—-and yet he- is detained ;hot
as a prisoner of war, but compelled*
under the most cruel threats*, tokeHe
the enemies of his country.
Thayer has so recommended him-
Self by? his sobriety, industry, and
seamanship as to be appointed a
boatswain's mate, and is now Serving
in that capacity in the
be says there is due to him from the
British government about two hun
dred and fifty pounds sterling. He
has also assured his father that he
has always refused to receive any
bounty or advance*, lest it might af
ford some pretext for * denying him
his discharge Whehevdr a proper ap
