A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas it appears that the war',
in which our country is unfortunately
ehgaged, has assumed an entirely
different character, since its first
commencement, and has become al
most exclusively defensive, and is
prosecuted by the enemy with a
spirit unexampled during pending
negotiations for peace, Which leaves
no prospect of safety but in a manly
resistance and 1 united determination
to resist inVasioirat every point, and
to expel the invader.
And, whereas notwithstanding the
signal and glorious naval victory,
lately achieved by our gallant com-,
modore Macdonough, and his brave
officers and seaman, over a superi
or British naval force, on Lake
Champlain,and alike discomfiture of
the whole land force concentrated at
Plattsburg, by gen. Macomb’s small
but valiant band of regular troops,
aided and powerfully supported by
our patriotic, virtuous and brave
volunteers, who flew to meet the
invader, with an alertness and spirit,
Unexampled in this or any other
country, it is made known to me
that the British army still on the
frontier of our sister states, collect
ting and concentrating a powerful
force, indicating further operations
of aggression ;
, And whereas the conflict has be- ‘
come a common, and not anparty
concern, the time now arrived
when party distinctions & animosities
however we may differed res
pecting the policy of declaring, or
mode ofprosecuting the war, ought
to be laid aside j that every heart
may be stimulated, and every arm,
nerved, for the common country, pnr
liberty, our altars, and pur firesides $
in the defence of whieh we may, with
humble confidence, look to heaven
for assistance and protection.
Now, therefore, I, Martin Chttten»
den, governor and commander ip
chief in and over * the state of Ver*
mont, do issue this proclamation,’
exhorting all the good 4 of
this state, by that love of country, s
which so signally distinguished our
fathers, in their glorious and succes
fnl struggle for our independence,
to unite, both heart and hand, in
defence of our common interest, and
every thing dear to freemen., (
I do enjoin upon all officers of di
visions, brigades, regiments ana*
companies of the militia of this state,
to exert themselyesjn the execution
theif respective duties, in placing
those under their command in a
complete state of readiness, and with*
out farther order to march, at a
moments warning, 10 meet any in
vasion that may be attempted, and
to chastise and expel the invader.
And I would earnestly recom
mend it to those, who, by the lenity
©i our laws, are exempt from ordi
nary military duty, where they have
not alveatiy done it, to organize
thetmelves itno companies, and e
qmp, and stand in to
meet the approving crisis j rejj
mindmgthem that it is their property,
themselves and their families that
are, in common with others, to be
protected. “
And more especially I would re
commend it to the selectmen and
civil of respective
towns, to be vigilant ift the execu
tion of the duties enjoined on them
in providing ammunition, and in af
fording such assistante to the
1 tia as their situation may require.
> After witnessing the severe aitdL
degrading terms* imposed on qiany
of our unfortunate fellow citizens on
the seaboard, no man, who is mind’
ful of what he owes to his country
and to his own character, can advo
cate submission while resistance is
practicable.
The fate of Alexandria forcibly
to the proud feelings of every
American, to exert the augmented
force & • resources with which it has
pleased a benificent Providence to
bless the defence and security
of thatsdil and those rights, render
ed inestimable by hhving been pur
chased by the blood of our fathers,

The Following paragraphs contain
a summary of the most important
occurrences, which have lately taken
place in Europe, some of which are
highly interesting to America] r
London, Aug. 16,
On the 15th inst. arrived at the
Barracks in the ,neighborhood of
Portsmouth* 2000 recruits to com
plete the regiments destined for A
merica. They will be immediately
embarked for the Chesapeake Bay,
under the convoy of the Lifley, of
100 guns, commanded by Captain
Handcock. About 1000 casks of
ammunition and military stores, will
go in the same convoy. v
Lord Exmouth has returned from
the Mediterranean in the Caledonia,
of 120 guns. Previous to his leaving
that sea, he dispatched several frig
ates of his squadron to the coast of
America.
f August 18.
1 To-day* we have received Paris
papers of Monday. The Pope seems
to regard his neighbor Murat with
a jealous eye: a formal demand
has been made at Vienna for the
restitution of the Marche of Ancona
and the Duchy of Urbino* both be
ing with-held from the Papal State
by Murat, as King of Naples- His
Holiness also demands restitution
of the three Legations of Belogna
Ferrara, Romagna / besides the res
titution df the Patriarchate of Ve
nice. All thesb requests are said
to have been refused ; but pre
sume they will be again made at the
ensuing Congress. In the mean
time,dsiturbahces occasionally break
out between Neapolitan and Roman
troops, which will perhaps lead to
something more serious.
The Leith Packet, Waston, from
Teneriffe to Dublin ; the William
and Ann, M‘Fie, from Glasgow to
Ciare ; and the Peggy and Ann,
Duncan, from Liverpool to Lime
rick, were taken and sunk previous
to the 15th inst. by the Peacock A
merican sloop of war.
Avery large medical staff is un
der orders for America, to be attach
ed, it is understood, to the forces at
present in course of outfit.
Monday se’nnight the 79th Regi
ment, which landed at Cork a lew
days ago, and were ordered for Gal- ,
way, were countermanded, and are
to embark immediately for foreign
service.

All the men of war, as they arrive
from the Mediterranean, are to be
payed off without delay. The Or
lando, and several other frigates*
have been sent from thence to the
coast of America*
• A notice was received at Lloyd’s on
Tuesday morning, from the Trans*
port Board, stating that they were
not *i n , want any .more transports.
July 16—The official Ga*
zette contains a proclamation, offer
ing 10,000 piastres for the discovery
of the traitors who forged a warrant
for the execution of gens. Elio, and
Labisbal, at Seville, and Maria Vil
layicento, at Cadiz. i>
London, July 21.—Letters reached
town yesterday from Cadiz to th 6 •
30th ult. and from Madrid to
6th inst. The public industry which
had been promoted by the Cortes
on the principles of the late Joveli
anos, was wholly suspended by the
decree of the new govenment, resto
ring the system introduced at the
close of tlie 15th century by Ferdin
and and Isabella. The affairs of the
ultramarine dependencies had at
tracted the attention of the Spanish
ministry, and they had condedended
to have tecourse to the deputies,
trom South America, in order to as
certain the wants of the colonies*, to
determine on the means of supplyinif
them, and to adopt the measures'ex
pedient for the subjugation of th»
refractory provinces. - While the
court is pondering on these measures
the progress of the revolution fap
pears to be rapid and irresistible.-
We have also letters lrorn Biscay
to the 9th ipst. where the inhabitants
seem to be wholly insensible to tha
internal despotism that is to be esta
blished. Poverty and supineness
had suspended trade tiitv
northern districts, frota Corunna to
ot. bebastian. *-«f WKf
The CQunt De Torrono, a deputy
of the Cortes, well known at the com*
mencement of the Spanish revoluti
on, for having been one of the first
who arrived in this country, to soli
cit the aid of our government, is ar
rived in town, having effected his es
cape, by way of Portugal. He give#
the most deplorable account 6f the
state of affairs throughout Spain ; &
from what he relates, it seems high
ly probable that that unhapy coun*
try, is on the eve of great commoti
ons. < i •

. . „• Secretary to the British
mission, called upon us to-day at one o’clock ’
and myited us to a conference to be held at
three. This was agreed to, and the British
commissioners opened it by saying, that they
had received their further instructions this
morning, and had not lost a moment in request
ting a meeting for the purpose of communicav
ting the decision of their government. It is
proper to notice that Lord Castlereagh had
arrived last night in this city, whence, it isf
saiu, he will depart to-morrow on his way ttf
Brussels and Vienna. V ; -Tv*
The British commissioners stated that their’
government had felt some surprise that we
were not instructed respecting the Indians, asr
it could not have been expected that they
would leave their allies, in their comparative*
ly weak situation, exposed to our resentment.
Great Britain might justly have supposed that
the American government would have fur
nished us with instructions authorising us to
agree to a positive article on the subject ; but
the least -she could demand was, that we
should sign a provisional article admitting the
principle, subject to the ratification of our gov
ernment ; so that, if it should be null and void e
on our assent or refusal, to admit such an ar
ticle would depend the continuance or suspend
sion of the negotiation. r f
As We had represented that the proposition
made by them, on that subject, was not suffi
ciently explicit, the hr government had direct
ed them to give us every necessary explain*
tion, and to state distinctly the basis which
must be considered as an indispensable prelim*
inary.
■ It was a sine qua non that the Indiana
should be included i it the pacification, aud, a*
incident thereto, that the boundaries of their
territories should be permanently established.
Peace with the Indians was a subject so sim*
peas to require no comment. With respect,
