FRIDAY, OCT. 30. ------
FRIDAY, OCT. 30. Extract of a Letter from our Correspondent in London, dated Eight o' Clock Wednesday Evening. AMERICAN AND HALIFAX PAPERS. tl To-day a mail arrived from Halifax, with letters and papers from thence to the 9th; from Boston, to the 3d inst.; and from New York, to the 30th ult. It appears evident from the intelligence they contain, that the revocation of the British Orders in Council had not wrought any favourable change in the disposition of the American Government; on the contrary, war is likely to be pursued, and what was reported in America on a former arrival is now confirmed, we mean the statement wherein it issa'd, that nothing which Sir John B. Warren may have to offer will be attended to, unless all the grievances complained of shall at once be re- dressed. Meetings continue in various towns and districts, for the purpose of expressing the public opinion as to the propriety of the war. Some are for, and oihers against it; but that which has most arrested public attention in Ame- rica, is the New York Convention." This, it appears, was a Convention of Delegates from the several Counties of the State of New York, held at the Capital, in the city of Albany, on the 17 th and 18th days of last month. Several Gentlemen Were chosen to represent the respective counties. Gen. Jacob Morris was named the President, and William Henderson, Esq. the Secretary. The routine business being disposed of, the meeting proceeded to consider the present ¡ alarming situation of the United States; various resolutions were agreed to on the occasion the first was to the purport, that they reprobated the doctrine of late so frequently and violently inculcated, that when war is once declared, all inquiry into its justice and expediency ought to cease, &c.; the second purports, that, under all the circumstances in which the war with England was commenced, they must pronounce it a most rash, unwise, and inexpedient measure, the adoption of which ought for ever to deprive its authors of the esteem and confidence of an enlightened people, &c.; the third, that while they condemn the war, they were truly sensible of the duties imposed on them, whether as Ma- gistrates, Soldiers, or Citizens, and were determined to fulfil them the fourth, condemned the principle of creating new States out of territories not within the ancient limits of the United States, as inconsistent with the spirit of the federal compact, &c.; the fifth, that the employment of the Militia for the purpose of offensive war, was a palpable violation of the Constitution, &c. and that the late revocation of the British Orders in Council has removed the great and osten- sible cause of the present war; the sixth, proceeds to state, that a determination on the part of jthe American Rulers to continue the war, after official nolib^-of the revocation of the British Orders in Council, would afford conclusive evi- dence that the war had been undertaken from motives dis- tinct from those which have been hitherto avowed; the seventh, contemplates with abhorrence even the possibility of an alliance with France, &c.; and the last resolution recommends the friends of peace, liberty, and commerce, to assemble in their respective counties, in order to concert the best means for restoring peace to the degraded and af- flicted American nation. EXTRACTS FROM BOSTON PAPERS. Montpelier, Sept. 17.—From all parts of the country we receive accounts of the movements of the troops and militia; Plattsburgh, (New York), about 60 miles from Montreal, is their place of destination, where Generals Dearborn and Bloomfield have already arrived with about 2000 men each. The 6th Regiment, under Colonel Simmons, the 15th, Co- lonel Pike, and 13th, Colonel Schuyler, all new English troops, are on the march to join the army at Plattsburgh. The 6th and 13th Regiments, from New York, were to march the 3d inst. The Vermont troops are now at Platts- burgh. It is stated, that Gen. Bloomfield, of New York, is to command the van of the army in the Expedition. About 80 of the United States' troops, from Newhampshire, and between 4 and 500 of the drafted militia of this State, passed through town the present week on their way to Plattsburgh. From the best accounts we can collect, there are stationed between Montreal and St. Johns, from 12 to 15,000 troops, regulars, and militia. The fields (says our informant), are literally covered with tents and camp equipage. The mi- Jitia are well trained, and completely equipped and uni- formed. Should General Dearborn enter the territory, he ought (if he means not to be Hulled or defeated), to have 25 or 30,000 men, as not a doubt exists of the Governor of Ca- nada being able to bring this force into the field against them. The Plattsburgh letter anticipates the speedy ar- rival there of Major Eustis, with a Battalion of Light Ar- tillery. Capts. Brooks, Grafton, and all our New England Boys, are confident, from the exertions of Gen. Bloomfield, they will be enabled to meet their enemy with some as- surance of success. Extract of a letter from Halifax, received by the mail to-day, dated Halifax, 8th Oct. 1812:— The loss of the Guerriere was an unfortunate affair, be- cause it has given the Americans great spirits, and has les- sened their dread of meeting our ships single-handed. Capt. Dacres, officers, and crew have been tried and honorably acquitted,—they displayed great gallantry, and we should have carried the Constitution (whose men had begun to quit their quarters) in 20 minutes, had not the mizen-mast been shot away. Heart-breaking as it was for Capt. Dacres to strike his Majesty's colours, it was his duty so to do, to save as fine a crew as ever trod a deck. They have been thanked by the Court, for resisting the temptations held out to them by the Americans to enter into their service. I told yon, in a former letter, that a gieat part of the crew of the Consti- tution were Englishmen,—seventeen Captains of her guns had been in the battle of Trafalgar. The beginning of the Yanky war is certainly unfortunate besides the Guerriere, they have taken the Alert sloop of war, the Laura and Whiting schooners. The Southampton frigate and a sloop of war have been wrecked in a'hurricane,—the Barbadoes frigate has been lost in the Island of Sable,—the Emulous sloop off Cape Sable-crew saved, except two men,—the Chub schooner is iost at the entrance of this harbour-all hands perished,—and we have now a rumour, which, I fear, ,,I; iil prove well founded, that the Orpheus frigate, with two valuable prizes, are lost; one of them from Lima; the other from Calcutta. With respect to the American war, we have ,6 been duped: nothing short of both Canadas being ceded ill satisfy Madison, who has bound himself by treaty give them to Bonaparte; if he pretends to listen to ri. of ^eommodation, short of this, it is only to gain | ''V°* Madison's re-election is certain", and not less so that ,ofA.rrier the French Envoy, is with Dearborn's army in "an^t, temporizing with the Canadians. Sir George Pre- vost has above 8000 regular troops, and 2500 men are in the Gulph of St. Lawrence going up to join them. Sir George is with an army of 7000 regulars, and well-appointed militia, with which, it is said, he has crossed the Lake Champlain, and is in full march to Plattsburgh, to destroy a depot of stores and provisions without which the Americans cannot subsist. Dearborn has a wretched army, worse than our militia, and not more than 5000 strong. Finally, tell your Government to send as many of the Black regiments from the West Indies as they can spare, and make incursions with the squadrons on the Southern States, where they may recruit Blacks enough to conquer America, and save Europe.' A list of ships of war, on the Halifax station, has been sent us, by which it appears, that we now have there two 74's, one 64, ten frigates, and five sloops of war. RIGA. We have seen a letter of the 7th from Riga, which states that out of 600 Prussian prisoners, taken on various occasions, 200 of them had volunteered to serve in the German Legion; the remainder declined following the same example, on account of having friends on the Conti- nent. Upwards of 1000 Spaniards had deserted from the French armies, and joined Wittgenstein they were all on their way to Revel, there to embark to join their brethren in arms in their own country. A report prevailed in town this day, that the 23d French Bulletin had arrived, which, we have reason to believe, is i unfounded. Private letters have reached us from Paris to the 24th ,inst. which are silent on the affairs of Moscow; they inform us, however, that the French capital had been thinned of its artificers, in order to proceed to Moscow, to assist in rebuilding that city. No fewer than 2500 masons and carpenters had already set off during the course of last week. Holiday at the Bank." .e""}t.
REVIEW OF POLITICS.
REVIEW OF POLITICS. FOREIGN.-The departure of Bonaparte from Moscow has occasioned much speculation in the political world. While some insist that he has merely sallied forth for the purpose of reconnoitring, preparatory to his return to Paris, others contend, that, urged by the desolated state of Moscow, and unappalled by the difficulties and dangers opposed to his march by climate, season, and distance, he is determined to make a desperate push for Petersburgh. Did it not ap- pear to us phssically impossible for even the Russian Army to remain out of Winter quarters a month longer, we should feel some degree of apprehension of the latter plan being carried into effect. But all things considered, it av cars next to am impossibility, that Bonaparte should beoii..b'ed to march such an immense army as the one now in Russia, a distance of nearly 500 miles, through a dreary and desolated country, in the depth of winter. The various and corresponding accounts of Russian pa- triotism which we have for some time past been in the habit of receiving, lead us to infer that not only the military, but the whole population of Russia are at war Ni, ith the French that all kinds of supplies necessary for the subsistence of an army in their line of march, are either conveyed away, Or destroyed; that the different roads and passes, which, from local circumstances, are naturally difficult of access, are rendered infinitely more so by the vigilant exertions of the Russian people; and that nothing short of unheard-of trea- chery, or miraculous interposition, can etieet the immediate downfall or humiliation of that vast Empire, which the ad- mirers of Napoleon, in their revolutionary dreams, seem to have marked out as the future by-hold of France. It has been said of Bonaparte, as it was of CtEsar, that The Alps and Pyrreneans sink before him," and, figuratively speaking, the fact has been established; but still it does appear to be within the verge of possi- bility for the most enterprising spirit, the most persevering constancy, the most determined courage, and the most robust constitution, to bear up against that train of physical ills which must necessarily await such a stupendous undertaking as that of marching a large French army 500 dreary miles through an enemy's country, exposed not only to the rigours of a Northern winter, but also to the occasional attacks of the natives of the soil. The occurrences in Spain have not excited any great de- gree of interest "or some time past. The attack on Burgos, and occasional skirmishing, constitute the main part of our recent intelligence from that quarter, nor do we expect to ear of any important achievement on the part of the allied armies until the whole of our reinforcements shall have ar- rived in the Penipsula. From that event, we are sanguine enough to predict the most auspicious results. May our predictions be verified. America, we fear, is determined to listen to nothing short of the most humiliating concessions from us; concessions which would not only tend to render her more arrogant in her pretensions, more exorbitant in her demands, but would at the same time compromise both the honor and safety of the British nation. Of the ill effects of an American war we cannot be insensible, but when w see very clearly that the revocation of our Orders in Council have had no effect in conciliating the Government of the United States, what are we to conclude, but that that Government is anxious for an opportunity to quarrel with us. It is surmised, that Ma- dison is chimerical enough to believe that England will suffer herself to be dragooned into the cession of a consi- derable part of her North Ameiican possessions to the Go- vernment of which he is the head, and that for the purpose of transferring the same to Bonaparte. A curious specit. lation truly, and worthy of a successor to the Immortal Washington f N' A..

Feelittg, as we do, the most lively interest in the prosperity of our Auxiliary Bible Society, it is truly gratifying to us to observe its rapid progress in the furtherance of these important objects, which, to use the words of Lord Bacon, Come home to men's bu- siness and bosoms." Amongst the most distinguished instances of support afforded to the institution, we have to record the very liberal subscriptions of Five Guineas from G. P. Watkins, Fsq, Recorder of this Borough, and of Three Guineas from his worthy Lady. A meeting was held in Stourbridge, last week, for the purpose of establishing an Auxiliary Bible Society, when the rules recommended by the Parent Society were read and adopted, and liberal subscriptions im- mediately commenced. Lord Foley was elected the President. We feel much pleasure in being enabled to state, that the annual meeting of the friends to the Here- ford Clerical Charity, held last week in that city, was attended by the Lord Bishop, and various Dignita- ries and Parochial Clergy of the Diocese-that liberal donations were granted to no less than twenty-four very deserving and distressed petitioners-that some very respectable names were added to the list of sub- scribers—and that the Lord Bishop proposed, and all parties unanimously agreed, that the thanks of the Meeting be given to the Rev. Dr. Cope, for his con- dl1:t of the charity as Treasurer, from its comtnence- meift in 1791, and for his kind intentions to continue his exertions in its favour. The Election of a Member for the County of Car- marthen took place on Monday last, at Llandilo, when the Right Hon. Lord Robert Seymour was re-elected without opposition.—It will be seen by an address in this Paper, that Sir James Hamlyn Williams stands pledged to step forward as a Candidate for the suffrages of the Electors of Carmarthenshire whenever an opening shall occur. The state of the poll at the Election for the County of Pembroke, after a severe contest of ten days, remains as below, and, we understand, the Poll is likely to be kept open for some days longer. For Mr. Owen 1481 For the Hon. J. F. Campbell 1320 Majority for Mr. Owen 161 Cardigan,- The Election of a Member the Borough of Cardigan closed on Thursday last,weing the 15th day, when the Hon. Colonel Vaughari was returned, with a Majority in his favor of 80. The Colonel addressed his friends on the occasion in a neat and appropriate speech, thanking them for the honour conferred on him, and attributing his signal success to the great, united, and well directed exertions of several Country Gentlemen of independent principles, and of the Managers, who bad acted on his bellilf,- Major Evans, the Rival Candidate, then addressed the Electors with great animation and energy, declaring the return of Col. Vaughan to be irregular and illegal, and solemnly pledging himself to petition the House of Commons against it, on grounds that left no doubt of his ultimate success.—The Hon. Colonel was carried in a very elegant chair, decorated with laurel and rib- bons, bearing the motto" VAUGHAN and INDE- PENDENCE," and was preceded by an orange flag, on which was inscribed Vaughan and Victory." Breconshire.—On Monday se'nnight, Cel. Wood, after being nominated by Sir Charles Morgan, Bart, and seconded by Colonel Allen, was re-elected without opposition. Chester.This viok nt-iy contested election has ter- minated Mr. Egerton has-triumphed with a majority of 27. Final close-Grosnor 627-Egerton 602— Brooke 575—Townsend 537. We feel gratified in being authorised to assure the Ladies and Gentlemen of this place and neighborhood, that they need not be under any apprehension of a re- petition of the disgraceful disturbances which took place in the gallery of our Theatre on Friday evening last, as Constables are engaged to attend on each night of performance. r- T L 1 }o 1 MilforJ, Uct. —x am nappy 10 nave rue pleasure to state, that the vessels which were driven on shore here, during the storm on the jgtli liist. are (with the exception of the Perseverance and Emlyn) got off with considerably less damage than was expected, the sloop Susanna and brig Perseverance being the only ones that are materially injured the latter is condemned, but no doubt is entertained of the Emlyn being got oft" .the next spring tides, by discharging her cargo.—By the Camden Packet, Capt. Nuttall, the last which ar- rrived from Waterford, I have learned, that, during the storm above alluded to, out of 22 men who were employed in erecting a light-house on the Tusker Rock, 14 were washed from it and drowned, 8 so se- verely injured, that 5 died of their wounds, and that the remaining 1 are in the Hospital at Wexford, with but faint hopes of their recovery.—The dreadful ef fects of this storm were also experienced by the Smalls, light-house, which has been much injured, the western break-water washed away, and the lamps broken, by reason of which there is no light on the Rock, nor can there be any for some time." The Bee, Williams from Chepstow to Plymouth, is put into Penzance, full of water. The Friendship, Wharton, from Cardiff to London, which was on shore at Hurst Castle, has been got off, 1 41 and carried into Cowes. The Providence, Brown, of Dartmouth, from Neath, was driven on shore at Plymouth, and bilged. On Tuesday week, and Inquest was held by W. Bach, Esq. one of the Coroners for the county of Hereford, at Moreton, in the Parish of Eye, on the body of Martha Williams, who was found hanging to an oak tree, in a plantation near to Berrington. Verdict -Lunacv. And on Friday last, an Inquest was held by the same Coroner, at Aimely, on the body of Thomas Howells, aged five years, whose death was supposed to be occasioned by the ill-treatment of his father, when after a strict investigatioh and there being no proof of the improper conduct of the father but the contrary appearing, the jury brought a Verdict 0f—Qicd by the Visitation of God. C( lonel Procter, of the 41st regiment, who so highly distinguished himself at the capture of G;n. Hull's army in Canada, is a son of the late Dr. Procter, of Leominster, and brother to that gallant officer Major Procter, ofthe 43d regiment, who died in Portugal'—• The Doctor had himself seen a deal of active service as Physician to the army during the American war, and at one time had six sons in the army, four of whom have been on foreign service during the war. The regular militia of tne United Kingdom at the meeting of Parliament will, we are given to understand, be allowed to volunteer by regiments as a disposable force, and will be allowed rank accordingly. The local militia being not inferior in discipline, will take the duty. On Friday nighty between ten and eleven o'clock, W. Dowding, of Eign, near Hereford, was stopped on his road home from King!on between Yazor aid Ctedenhill, by three men, one of whom presented a pistol, and the other two held him whilst the man with the pistol searched his pockets, frim w h-n- e he took two five pound notes, one of the City and County of Hereford Bank, and one Bank of England, three Ross one pound notes, and three two pound and two one pound notes of the Kington Bank, besides ISs. Sid. in silver, &c. They talked in Welsh, two had on dark greatcoats, and the other a light one; two of them appeared between 30 and 4° years, and the other about 20. They proceeded after the robbery towards Kington. They struck Dowding several times pie- vious to plundering him, and the man with the pistol* repeatedly threatened to shoot him if he offered any resistance. A very singular circumstance occurred at the Free Grammar School, Tewkesbury, on Friday last: during school hours, a fine young hare, untamed and unpur- sued, ran into the room amidst the boys, by one of whom poor puss was immediately caught. A bookbinder lately observed that Bonaparte's seemed already hot pressed, and be hoped it would be soon bound in Russia. The Pig and the Plumper, an Election Amc^te. At a former contest for the city of Rochester, t:'e Car.di- dates, a Mr. Fairfax and Sir R. Twisden, wei-e desi- rous of receiving the vote of a barber, who hung back in expectation of receiving some special irark of favour in return for his suffrage. Tvlj-. F gu into his shop to be shaved, complained thattbe razr;r was not in order, in consequence of which the Tonsor said, he had been some time in want of oil, and could not set his razors. I am one of your friends said Mr. F. and you shall not want for oil. The same day he sent him a large jar of oil, supposing it would induce the barber to give Qirn his vote. Sir R. Twisden having been informed of the circumstance, went a>so to be shaved, and took occasion to observe, that the barber had a good stye in his back yard, but no pig; the barber of course intimated that he was too poor to stock that part of his premises. If so, said Sir Roger, you sha'nt want a pig long and a few hours after the barber received a good fat pig as a present.
