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, v Given under my hand at Jerico, this 19th day of September, in the year of our Lord thou sand eight hundred and four * teen, and the independence of the United States the thirty ? v until. ‘ ) jfARTIN CHITTENDEN.

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.

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 • Messrs. Adams, Bayard, Clay, RusselL and Gallatin, to Mr. Monroe 9 Secret tary of State , pin l V h As™^tßl4. . . „• 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, to the boundary wa> to fctjf
