AVe hope the good ftnfe of the people out pf Bofton, will prevent them from becoming the tools and dupes of a party within it: We do not attach any wilful mifcondult to ipany who voted it, being fenfible that fome are led by ignorance and others by fear. We truft the Pre fident will duly appreciate the ad drcfs as it was evident to every man prefen:, that no meafure was ever adopted in Bofton on the federal fide of the queftion, fo defective in energy. There is no doubt the federal party in this town are de firous of a war with Prance in alli ance with England, this no doubt is their main object; but in the prefect meafure they have com pletely baffled their own purpofes, and are bringing this country into a war with England. If this partiali ty is granted to Spain, the honor of Britain in maintaining her treaty rights is involved m the decifion. The proceedings of the com mercial and highly refpeltable town of Salem, will operate as wormwood on federalifm. It is to be hoped they will not be alone in this patri otic courfe. — Nat. Intel, PuU'fijed by order of the Selectmen of Salem. To the S deft men of the town of Salem, Gentlemen, In conformity to the direfiions of the town of Bofton, as above ex prefled, we tnclofe you a copy of tjhe petition to the Prefident of the United States, and requeft you to lay the fame before your inhabit ants, that if they fee fit they may adopt fimilar meafures. , Seleftmen of Bofion,’ Charles Bulfincb, William Porter , Ebenezet Oliver , Jana. Hun e well, John May , Pranas Wright , Jon a. Chapman . Bofion , Aug, 10, 1808. To the Seleftmen of the Sown of Bofion, Glni lemen, We acknowledge the receipt of your’s of the 10th inftant, containing the proceedings of the town of Bofton,’ relative to petitioning the Prefident of the U nited States to rc fufpend the em bargo, either wholly or in part, ac cording ro the powers veiled in him by the Congrefs of the United States, &c. and the requeft of the town of Bofton, “ that the fame be laid before the inhabitants of Salerno that if they fee fit, they may adopt fimilar meafures.” We allure you, gentlemen, it will afford us great pleafure to co-oper ate with our fellow citizens of the town of Bofton, in any and all pub lic meafures which we believe wiH promote the public good. We view (as we have done from the beginning) the embargo as a wife and prudent meafure, peculiar ly calculated to preferve the United States from being involved fn the Bloody contefts of Europe, and to fecutc their commerce front cap-- ture and condemnation, under the authority of Britijh Orders of Com al and French Decrees, We confix der that there can be no fafety in renewing commerce, while thefe Decrees and Orders of Council are enforced ; and confidently believe that the Prefident of the United States’; without our interference, will remove the embargo as loon | is it can be done with fafety. In f this view we are fully fupported by the opinions of many of the moft . .ipcdauiC aiiu in Salem. ~ - We are alfo re her. five that the meafure recommended, would be actended with no falutary effects, but rather tend to embarrafs the gov ernment, excite irritation, and pro mote divifion, already too appar ent. We do not therefore deem it ouf duty to call the inhabitnats of Salem together to deliberate on the fubjelt, unlefs urged to the meafure by our own townfmen, according to the provifions of the law. t We are refpellfully your friendt and humble Servants. Seleftmen of Salem , John Ilatborne , Mofes Townfend , George S. Johonnet, jofeph Ropes, Salem , Aug. i2 # 1808. [The inhabitants of feveral other towns have ailed fimilar to thofe of Salem.] The governments of Europe under Bonaparte cannot produce niore evils ai it relates tofiaverj y than what they have hitherto fuffered—and this being the cafe, we do hope that the wifdom of providence has Jelefted this man io bring about thofe events which viiay terminate in the amelioration of the date of Jo tie ty. Thofe who believe in the feripture t eve lat ions have ever confi dered the days approaching , when the diftordant paffions will ceafe, and thht men will not learn war any more.— The conduft of Bonaparte has in forhe ihfianteS favored fuch an event, for whenever he has fubjugated his ene mies y he has purfued a principle more humane than any conqueror either in ancient or modern hifiory. The arts and Jciences have been protcfted arid encouraged—and we may fay, there is more genius and Jciehtific knowledge within the territories under the com mand of the than within any other quarter of the world . The U. S. at this momentous crifis Ore not called on to commence hofiili ties againfi France more than Eng land on account of the late orders and decrees of the two nations. At this period it is policy to keep without the vortex of the prefint controverfy—for it is certain , our aid can no more help England to extricate herfelf from bdr difficulties > than the numerous powers which have hitherto attempted to do it. It mu.fi therefore be the height of folly for us at this eventful period to pre fume to take up the conqueror. It is our policy to keep'good fellowfhip at home, and by every prudent means fo fecure our property front the defalca tion of both nations, without thinking to better tittr condition by engaging iH a war , under the fallacious idea , that our energies are wanted to Jave Bri tain and check Bonapate. As Britain was the firfi caufe of the magnitude of the French war , by Jubfidizing every nation to commence hofiilities , and has been the principal eaufe of Jubfiantiat ing id increafing the power of France , let her get out of her difficulties , by doing jufiice to thofe wbofe commercial rights fhe has violated , and by limit ing the rapacity* of her clams on the ocean. While the federalifis pretend to dread the omnipotence of Bonaparte, let them at leafi be civil tn their lan guage towards him. They do andfay all they- can to provoke his indignation, and yet they arc confiantly lamenting the danger of his refentments. He has not yet (hewn a boftile difpojition towards us in any proportion to the Englrfhy and yet the Britijh Junto are confi antly eulogizing the magnanimity of tbcEnglfh „ and curfing the perfidy of the French. If England was as powerful as France, this country „ . ..... ‘ T greater violence than at prefent. (ci vility and decency in our deportment towards the French, are more falutary than the grofs calumny daily publifhed in the federal papers againfi them. Bofton Chronicle. NEW-YORK, Sept. 3.

In addition to the following articles, it appears that a naval,expedition failed on the nth of July. , DUBLIN, July 14. The arrival of the, London pa pers of Monday,, and feveral Span ilh journals, as alfo communications from Gibraltar, have induced iis at this late hour to flop the prefs to give a fummary of theft glorious contents, for our country fubferi bers. Thefe journals are filled with victory after victory on be half of the noble Spaniards,’ which are too voluminous for us at prefent to detail, they may, however, be generally iurafned up in the follow ing brief outline The furfender of the French fquadron to tjhe Spaniards;—the de feat of the French divifion under the orders of Dupont,’ near Cordo va 5 ,’ by general Echavania—another column commanded by Lefebvre, routed by general Pafafox: no quarters given, the divifion of Mon cey has fuffered lofs in the neigh borhood of Cuenca—in Madrid, feven or eight thoufand only remain who have retired within entrench ments, apprehend ve of an attack, which was daily expelled from the combined fprees of Arragon, Va- I’enci and Andalufia—-all the pro vinces of Spain are under arms, and propofe to affemble the general Cortes,’ or Grand Council of the nation. To the above we have to add*, that letters .which reached us from Gibraltar, ftate, that all the French in the neighborhood of Barcelona, have been killed or taken prifoners by the Patriots under general Ef pelata.

Children of Hayti,.return to your native country , there is none elfe where for you, but that where you were born. Let your return to it be for us the happy moment, that reunites the members of one famfr ly; that was compelled by common misfortune, to part * -but who re unitic again, to cherifh and protect qach Let us fay tp ourfelvea what thofe brave warriors of Amer ica faid in the RIBUS UNUM.”,v Thofe men who have ftiaken off the European, yoke, y/ere ho more than men like yourfelves; but they were patriots. Let that worthy nation, and its im mortal hero be ypur model in the art of war, as well as its other vir tues. , „ „ The Senate requeft me telf you by this prefehf, that it fathfully pro mifes to pay the paffage of thofe who fhall be under the incapacity of doing the fame, that the fum of 50 dollars ihall be paid punctually to every captain qf a veffel for each paffenger (grown perfon) they fhall bring from the United States j and a fmaller fum for a lefs diftance alfo fhall be paid.
