There can be no doiirt of the spirit of the pco pie of Ncw-Engltod to resist ty rannv in any form. Some of the citizens of this town desire; to have a meeting for the same purpose, but it surely cannot be necessary for Boston to exoress any opinion on such a subicct her xeal in the hoM caue of Liberty is well kuown to the world, and her readiness to support any system of vigor will not be questioned by any body.

A ship of 400 tons, load ed with Cotton, sailed from thtrr last Thursday. Report says, that the Ciptain went to the Gusto m House and demmded a clearance forjsome port in the State, offer ing the customary bond for twice thr m'oxint of the ship and cargo The oS cr refused to grant him a clearance, unless he gave bonds for 90.000 dollars, thrice the a mount of the cargo. This the cap tain refused, telling the otrictr he Would proceed to se.i in defiance of him, and that he might prevent him if he could. Accordingly, at the striking of the bell for one, the signal fixed pp. on, forty men jumped on board loaded some cannon they had p!ac ed i n deck Sc proceeded down the river. The Cutler attempted to step them, but was beaten off;--and when they had reached the fort, the soldiers, after having dis charged two heavy guns at them, RLFUSEDTOOBEYTHEIR OfrFtCERS, decbriog that they would not fire at their own coun tryren. The ship saluted the fort, and gavt three checn as she passed. From the Boston Centinel, Jan. 18. The Collcetor and beputy-Co-Icctor of the Customs, of this port, have resigned their respective of. sees. It is understood that the mer chants of this, town have generally tletermined not to comply with the new embareo requisitions. Having deposited their goods in the ships and warehouses, wnen tney naa a legal right to do so, they will not suomit to any reguiauon, wmi.u in tact an ex t;ost lacto ww. will neither give bonds or unload their vessels, an4 .it the ofiicers of the United States attempt to take possession, they will trust toan in dependent judiciary of their own State for nrotection. : ' There are nearly 14,000 tons of shipping lying at the wharves at Bath, (Me.) of which about 9000 tons are now laden and ready tor ea. The bonds required bv the new law, for these loaded vessels, Iwill be nearlv three millions of r-" j dillars Bonds which the owner cannot, and coniequentlyj will not give. ' . . - From Reir ?hil- Gazette, Jan. 21 We have seen a letter Trom Bos- ton, datrd the 18th mst. which states, 'that the new embargo law had been received there, and had occasioned a great ferment tbe Custom-House was shut up, and it was reported th.it the Collector and Deputy-Collector "had resigned.- the neighbourhood of the Coffee House 6? State-Hnuse was thronpr- ed with thousands of dissatisfied ci tizens. Several vessels had cleared out and sailed a few da) s previous for Europe, &c. Extract of a letter tmm an olBcer in the U. S. Army to the Editors ot the Bos ton Chcomde, dated, Burlington. (Vcr.) Jan. 8,1808. I have taken the liberty to in form you of the proceedings of the Supreme Court in this place on he trial of Samuel I. aMott. one of the murderers in the ta king of the Black Snake. This Mott. hz had one trial before, but in consequence of the of ficer not being aworo,.the verdict (which wasty,) was laid aside, and a new one ordered ; this trial had been before the court for three days past. Last night, at 12, die jury returned a verdict of ?ai slaughter " It is a most astonishing fact, that politics will have such an influence over a jury, as to return a verdict for manslaughter, when it was proved, to the satisfaction of every one present, t.hathe(Mott) had deliberately taken a wal.-piece and shot . two men, 3-4 of an hour after their boat was taken ; the fact was not even denied by the pri soner's council. 'uMr, Chipman, Kyes,Sc Marsh were for the prisoner. The States' Attorney and Vannes in behalf of Government. Judge Tvler presi dtd This trial will not end here, or rather its consequences. " lunvnse quantities of pro duce, of evcr description, 'find their way to Canada, e very day- ; on a fair calculation, 100 loads per lay, for 15 days past. hve gone into Canada, through Swanton. There are a number of other roads, and we cannot make a calculation how many loads go over the lines, Thrse sleighs and sleds arc driv en by a desperate set of fellows, many of whom are armed and have ben encodraged to defend themselves against -any force that attempts to take them. At pre sent, we have no authority to stop them, but when the new law ar rives, we shall have some employ ment. I have not the least doubt but some lives will be lost, in con sequence of this. verdict. RUNAWAY TAKEN UP: " DEV, well' known to be the ?ro perry of Alfred "Moore," sen.

Reflections on Rebellion! Since the passage bf the act of Congress making provision . for the effectual enforcement of the Embar go raws, the papers which are devo ted to tlcssex Junto, have teem ed with productions calculatedto excite a" forcible -opposition tovthe laws of the United States, arid, to produce a rebellion among the inha bitants of New England. Itis'byno means surprising that those newspa pers which have been for a long time past encouraging unprincipled men to violate the laws of the country, should become loud revilers of an act, which completely frustrates their disorganizing efforts, Thte base and avaricious have been incited by the ambitious and unprin cipled, to violate the laws of the Ui States. Hence the government of our country has been obliged to re sott to a measure, which will effec tually check the licentiousness of our heedless roalconttnts. It is in vain that we use argument with men who aim at ail events to destroy the in dependence of this country, and who now seem dettrmined not to stop at ahy thing in the accomplishment of their base designs. It is sufficient, therefore, that we remaik to the peo ple of New. England.jhat. ajl tlu leading features of the new Embargo law (the present theme of animad version) are founded upon principles and precedents, recognized during the administrations of 'Washington arid Adams. In expressing thwcwH havt no view to vindicate the me3 surcs of government against those restless men who have (.onunually been its revilers-men who have a bused the measures enacted to abo lish internal taxation ana the nation al deb ; and who advocated a 4 SE PARATION OF THE STATES. ' long before Congress pasted the actl which has been figuratively portray : ed asnhe" funeral bf liberty. . A r view of the conduct of tbeJresept dminTstraiTon will furnish sufficient testimony of their wisdom. and vir tiie;and will destroy the necessity of iiny eulogium. But neither wisdom nor vinue can silence snnuer, or peaceably destroy, by the force of reason, the torrent of vice and cor ruption, which is led by Great .Bri tain, to the shame of the Northern States. At length the menaces of rebellion are too frequent to pas unobserved, and too loud to be disregarded. They proceed from the English party, which has existed in this country since the firsumoments of the Ame rican revf.luiign. John Adams, the ate President of the U. States, has acknowledgtd the existence 6f this party within this nation, and has de nominated Alexander Hamilton th J leader of thu faction. This Junto attempted to mislead Mr. Adams: hey attempted to deceive him. Ti mothy Pickering, when' Secretary of State, concealed from Mr. Adams important dispatches from theFrench government, for wnirh offence he was dismissed from office. When the indignation of Mr Adams was justly awakened, and he proudly re fused to be the tool of the unprinci pled party, the sainted Hamilton loaded the venerable old gentleman with the most intamous abuse. Al though defeated in their attempts upon the integrity of the revolution ary patriot, they were . not vyeary in the pursuit of their object Hence they hve kept up an incessant cla mor against the present admin stra tion, in the vain hope of rendering it unpopular. Dtfeited and mortified again in i heir attempts, they have now basely taken advantage of a pressure upon the people, created by the injustice olt two mighty bellige rents, and already they Cry'havoe end. let slip the dogs of or." It is for those whose liberty and property, are at stake, fropthedir ing innovations contemplated by. the British faction, to. think seriously of those results which will follow the. movements of "RebtlliSn. ,We say Rebtllion, 'for a'separaiori tf th'Ise States can' never be effected without revolt - and civil war. The inhaoi lams" of New England must there fore look to the consequences which wiU atUirf an attempt at SEPARA- TION. The man of property must, know that his riches are secured to him bythe virtue bf the law De stroy the Uw; and the legal' obliga tions which exists between debtor and creditor are ho more ; whjle the vi sible property pf individuals becomes me rsagnnce pj.anarcay ana civil re taliation. T-he gentleman whose for tune dcpehds-Tjpoi Jhe payment of the public debt, . is deprived of the mea.ns f subsistence, the mbmem he joins the- standard of revolt. Placed in this deplorable situation who are the raen;that will make up his losses h Alas ! he will look in vain, for the restitution of his money to those whose individual property will sink fn the general wreck of civil war. The - whole property of th q reoeis will be either confiscated, ot their houses, lands, wharves stores, ships and storks, sink to nothing. It is the union of these States, which has iven u . American property its value ; des? roy t hat u nion and its value will sink again to colonial in significance. But it is heedless ;io argue to those who must in an in stant perceive the hideous deformity of the project now in agitation with in the " head quarters of good prin ciples." Those who are practically acquainted wih the- commerce of this country, need no explanations cither from Falkland," - Hamp den," or the writer of this communr cotion, up n the subject of " A sepa ration of the States.' The yeoman y of Nw England, hoftcver, are yc to be instructed, iii the advantages vhirh are to result to them from Rebellion. and Civil War, before they vill be led to turn their swords a gainst .the bosoms of thejr ct)unry men.

E PLUIUBUS UNUM? must first prove in a cl ar and concise manner, the vast benefits that are to result to the cultivators of New Eng land from a dissolution of the bta.es. Ltt them tell what quantity of sur plus produce the New England soil will furnish for the trading capital of these Statesand then name without prevarication the number of ships or the amount of tonnage, which the exportation of this produce will em ploy. After tlus explanation, let them figure to the merchants from what employment; Uie rest of th New England tonnage is to derive its support, . Neither tine houses, fine carriages, nor money in the funds, can constitute capital foi commerce, in the event bf a separa tion of the States. Nor can bank and insurance stocks be bf any value,: unltss these States adhere to the U niori, a,nd thereby possess the advan tage of a carrying trade from the southern States. Indeed, their very stocks will be found to be intimately or remotely connected with the pay ment of the public debt ; and hence, when the great artery irr the financi al body is obstructed,'Jthe smaller organs become palsied. 1 , A fair account of territory and po pulation must be submitted to the farmers of the northern States, in order that thy may know, before they march under the banners1 of rehllion, of what extent and num bers the future Kingdom of New Engfand is to consist.'
