And to pause, and ponder upon that part wherein he says that w -In contemplating the causes " prhich may disturb our oniop, it occurs as matter of ten us concern that any -ground should bare been furnished for - characterizing parties by geographical discriminations Northern and'South- VertJAtlantic and Western : whence desicmoe men may endeavour to excite belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views.' ' One of the expedients of party to acquire influence xt'uhxn particular districts,' is to misre- - present the opinions and aims of other district?, sou cannot suiciu ynurciircs too nuch against7, the jealousies and rte art-burnings which spring from those imsrepresciuauon , iacy icuu iu in- dcr alien to each biher, those who oug& to be bound together by 'fraternal affec- tion, ... " All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associa tions, under whatever plausible charac ter. jwith the real de'sign to direct, con r trotil, counteract, or awe the regular de liberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of ihis funda mental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction ; to give it an artificial force ; to put in the place of the delegated will of the nation, the will of a party, often a small, but artful and enterpri2ing minority of the com munity ; and accprding to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the illcfmcerted and incongruous pro jects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans, di gts'cd by common council, and modi fied by mutual interest." The Address concludes with the fol lowing Resolutions : Restive J, That the veneration and gratitude of the whole American nation, are justly due to the present adminis tration of the-general government for tbeif w ceaseless and solicitous exer tions for the welfare of our common country" ; that we have never felt at a ny former period, a more cordial zeal in seconding their measures ; that we hasten to declare to this administration .our unqualified approbation of this just and necessary war ; that we give them -our hands and hearts at such an event ful crisis, pledging ourselves in behalf of every democratic citizen in the coun ties we represent, - hat they will support a government o dear to them in resis ting foreign aggression, or in crushing domestic treason. Resolved, tint whereas tne gnrern mem ol ureat li itain commenced. war against the u. btates in the year 1806, and have continued it to this time although they have withheld the decla ration thereof, we cannot view without indignation the base assertion that u the government of the United States have ptunsjed our country into an offensive war," which Is daily reiterated in the British prints in the United Stater, and by their influential patrons in public and private life ; solemnly denouncing the same as a treacherous and malignant falshood. Resolved, That the .opposition to the existing measures of the national gov emment in these counties, has in its ex tent been grossly misrepresented, that it is in a great measure factitious, far ex ceeding in it& clamorous and blustering tone and manner, any thing of the kind ever before exhibited by that faction ; that wc can assure the government and our fellow citizens at largo, that this op position is not so very formidable and a- larming, even iri this L.a Vendee of the American Union, and that the declara tion si often repeated by Tories, that any of the former friends" of the ge neral administration here, arc abandon ing them, at this important crisis, is an other disgraceful falsehood lUsolved, That the charge that the American government have in any pub lic measure, been under the dominion of a partiality to France, is founded in the suspicion only of their enemies, he par tizans of Britain, and contradicted by positive evidence contained in the pub- lie documents, and that we do not en tertain the least doubt, that our govern- mtnt Is determined to avenge the wrongs inflicted opoo our country by France, unless the negotiations now pending anouia speeouy eventuate in an n on or a hie adjustment of her unjustifiable ag gfeiYions upon our commerce. , '.Resolved, Thit we cannot conscien tiously approve of the proceedings of the ciijoniy oi me noose ot Kepresenta- nves in cms ommonweaiUi at the late aession, relative to our national affairs, considering.them neither wise nor pa triotic, as they have a tendency to disu- imc me peopie, to counteract the su preme law of the tad, to encourage our J- "I -ww.5M ymy uuq to prolong tho caja vi war. Kesolved, That the recent address of the v Senate of -Massachusetts to their; Constituents, ; comprises' the principles wmcn ougni. to amiaaic crcrv eioic vernment.'-and every citizen of theju nion, and tKat it "deserves bur fwarmest ppiausc. ( s a - . Resolv ed, That in the present state df our country,' threatened by foreign and domestic' enemies we deem it highly- expedient as' well ay our imperious du ty, to appoint committees 6f safety and correspondence : in .ihese counties, and to raise a tuna tooetray tne unavoiaaoie expences. connected with a measure of this nature. . , Resolved, That -we consider all meet ings and conventions for the purpose of opposing the general government and the aws of the union, as dangerous du ring the existence of the present war, and highly Criminal; and. that in case the leaders of the federal party 'should call a state or New-England convention according to their contemplated plan, we solemnly dtclare that we shall regard such an act as a preparatory step on tbt part of our domestic enemies to organ ize a force for the destruction of every thing dear to us, and that we shall take such decisive measures as so alarming a crisis will imperiously demand. . Rco'v'ed, That wc view with inex pressible abhorrrence the recent attempt made in this section of the union to op pose the constituted authorities of the nation, in pursuance of the orders of a few restlessd unprincipled individuals in the towrfm Bsstop, being the same factious citizens who, in April,' 18 1 1, declared that a law of the United S ates must and would be resisted ; and that the tories of the last war, are now fore most in aiding those disorganizes in the circles in which we have had an oppor tunity of witnessing the proceedings of tbeir coadjutors and slaves. Resolved, That we deem it too late, as well as wholly irrelevant, to be told at this unexampled crisis, by the miser able apologists for the wrongs inflicted upon our beloved country, by the cor rupt government cfG. Britain (wrongs which cry even to Heaven for vengeance, that we are the descendants of the Bri tish nation and that she is the bulwark j of the religion we profess," a nation that has for agts sustained the character of lawless conquerors and pirates ; which whenever her power would admit, has carried the terror of her arms to every land and sea ; which, in a barbarous seven years war in conjunction with her natural allies the American Indians, burnt our cities and towns, slaughtered our armies, butchered and scalped our defenceless men, women and children ; which has annihilated the independence of the brave and generous people of Ireland, and doomed her worthiest citi zens' to the scaffold ; which has laid waste the fairest provinces of India, and murdered millions of her inoffensive in habitants ; which has in latter times without any pretext but that of tyranni cal violence, improved thousands of our seamen and consigned them to the most ignominious servitude on board hrr float ing castles of cruelty , which has swept American commerce Trmi the ocean, , has attempted to rally the traitors of our country under the banner of John Hen ry, to dismember the union, and thereby to produce a civil war and a re-colonization of the New-England States, and has again Ut slip the dogs of Sivagewar, to spread desolation and havoc among the citrz -ns f our frontiers, and under whose fatal alliances the continent of Europe is now bleeding to death with a government already exhibiting a de caying mass of corruption, which wilt probably soon become food for worms, and be consigned to the same just prve that has swallowed up other despotisms. Resolved, That this report and reso lutions be signed by the Moderator and Secretary of this convention and that the Secretary be directed to forward a copy thereof to the President of the U nited States and to cause the same to be published.

An article dated CTottenburgh the 15th states, that 'no battle has yet taken place, that the Russians do not mean to advance, and that the French were not yet sufficient- ,ly strong to attack them. .Repeal of the Orders in Council. From the London Gazette, Extraordinary. Tuesday. June 23, 1812. At the Court at Carlton House, the 22d day of June, present, His Royal Highness, the Prince Repent, in Council. Whereas His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was pleased to declare, in the Name and on Behalf of His Majesty, on the 21st of April, 1812, " That if at any Time hereaf ter the Berlin and Milan Decrees shall, by some authentic Act of the French Govern ment, publicly promulgated, be absolutely and unconditionally repealed, then, and from thence, the Order. in Council of the 7th of Ja nuary, 1807, and the Order in Council of the 26th of April, 1809, shall, without any far. ther order, be, and the same are hereby de clared from thenceforth to be whollj and ab solutely revoked." And whereas the Charge des Affairs of the United States of America, Resident at this Court, did, on the 21st day of May last, trans mit to Lord Viscount Castlereagh, one of his .-uaiesiy s rrincipat secretaries ot state, : a Copy of a certain Instrument, then, for the first Time, communicated to this Court, pur porting to be a Decree passed by the fiovern- ment ot France, on the 28th day of April, 1811, by which the Decrees of Berlin and Milan are declared to be definitely no longer in Force in regard to American Vessels. And whereas his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, although he cannot consider the ten or of the said Instrument satisfying the Con ditions set forth in the said Order of the 2lst of April last, upon which the said Orders were to cease and determine, is nevertheless disposed, on his Part, to take such Measures as may tend to re-establish the Intercourse between Neutral and Belligerent Nations, upon its accustomed Principles. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, in the Name ai)d on Behalf of His Maiestv. is therefore oleas- ed, by and with the Advice of His Majesty's Privy Council, to order and declare, and it is hereby ordered and declared, that the Order in Council, bearing Date the 7th Day of Janu ary. 1807, and the Order la-Cotincil bearine- ! Date the 26th of April, 1809? be, revoked, so tar as may regard American Vessels and their Cargoes, being American Property, from the 1st day of August next. , , But whereas by certain Acts of the United States of America, all British armed Vessels are excluded from the Harbors and Waters of the United States, the armed Vessels ot France being permitted to enter therein, and the Commercial Intercourse between Great Britain and the said United States, is inter dieted, the Commercial Intercourse between France and the said U. States having been restored ; His Royal Highness the Prince Re gent is pleased hereby further to declare, in the Name and on the Behalf of His Majesty, that if the Government of the said United States shall not, as soon as may be, after this Order shall have been duly notified by His Majesty's Minister in America to the said ; Government, revoke or cause to be revoked uic uiu acu,4 wis present uruer shall, in that Case, after clear Notice sigmfiedby His Majesty's Minister in America, to the said Government, be Null and of ho Effect It is further ordered and declared, that all American Vessel! and their Cargoes,, being American property,1 that shall have been cap tured' subsequently to the J 28th of May last, for. a breach of the aforesaid-Orders in Coun cil alone,; and which .shall -not. haebeen ac tually conUemne before the1 date;, of this of? der, and tnat all ships ana cargoes as alpre said that shall hehcefoHh be captured, un derrthe said' Orders, prior tof .the first day, of 'a' - , 'a 11 v.

His Royal Highness the. Prince" Regent is hereby pleased further to declare, in the name and on the behalf of His Majes y, tliat nothing in the present Order contained shall be understood to preclude His Royal' High ness the Prince Regent, if circumstances shall so require, from RESTORING, after reasonable notice, Xha Order of the 7th of Ja nuary, 1807, and 26th of April, 1809, or any part thereof, to their full effect, or from tak ing such other measures of retaliation a gaihst the enemy, as may appear to His Roy al Highness to be just and -necessary. . AND, the Right Hon. the Lords Commis-1 sioners of His Majesty's Treasury, His Ma jesty's' Principal Secretaries of State, the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and the Judge of the High Court qf Vice Admi- j ralty, are to make the necessary measures herein, as to them may respectively apper tain. 1 The following judicioufl Remarks on the preceding Order, are from the pen of. 'Mr. Everett, editor of the Boston Yankee 3 " The above instrument is open to-volumes of comment but our present remarks shall be concise. We had earnestly hoped and al most begun to believe when we should see what purported to be a repeal of the Orders in Council, the act would carry on the face of it, at least so much the appearance of fair, ness that we might look at it without per ceiving a gross insult' to our understanding, spirit, which makes the very eesence of these To say nothing of that monopolizing1, piratic insufferable orders-; one slrikingi6bjection presents itself which seems to preclude the necessity of recurring to-any other. Though the Orders in Council are repealed or rather proposed to be repealed, on certain 'condi tions, the Prince Regent claims, and express, ly rrserves to himself the right, to 'revive them agair.st us at pleasure. This objection able reservation involves the ame principle that was the pivot on which our revolution turned The avowed riqht of binding us by lata &f toxins' us tulhout our consent. This ground has been so thoroughly gone1 over and so ably discussed both before and during the last war, and so far as any arguments can a vail short of the ultima-ratio return, previous to the present war that it appears to us im pertinent nd useless to waste paper and ink upon the subject. As the chain of political cause and 'Effect appears to be broken and every thing done by the rule of contraries, it may be that this ungracious 'herald is the forerunner of a minister from England 'au thorised and determined to act in the spirit of justice. At present we see no prospect of peace but through the dusky atmosphere ot war. FROM FLORIDA. 4 I About 120 black troops arrived, it is said with a new Governor from Havan na, at Pensacola, about the beginning of July. This movement must have commen ced previously to any knowledge of our declaration of war against Great Britain, There are now probablv between four and five hundred troops at Pensacola. The number at Mobile is, perhaps not more than 60 or 70. Apart of these were lately on the point of being remo ved to Pensacola ; but the officer com mantling the American gun-boats in thfe bay ofc-Mobile, did not consider it as compatible with his instructions to per mit "any troops to pass or re pass. Since the interregnum which has ex isted in the country lying between Pearl river andlthe Perdido, occasioned by the transfer of jurisdiction from the Orleans to the Mississippi territory, it is report ed that some alarm exists in the minds of the inhabitants under the expectation that they will be . called upon by the Spanish commander and compelled to attend at Mobile for the purpose of de fending byMbrce the Spanish possession of that place. Should such an attempt be made, it is to be hoped that the pow ers belonging to the judiciary will be exercised in their full extent by the Judge of the adjacent district of Wash ington in the Mississippi territory, for,. we believe, distance of the seat of the territorial government . from the town and neighborhood of Mobile, precludes all possibility of relief from the interfer eryee of the local executive NatSfnt. ;.

THEEditors of the Newspapers fniUfsh. ed in Raleigh, having experienced g,eJl inconvenience and losses from forwardin? their Paper to strangers, without, havin! received the stipulated pay ment in advance and from giving -too extensive a credit their'Subscribers in general, fimBj; absolute, ly necessary to come to scjrne arrangement; in order to enable'them to! conduct their V. siness to any Wd vantage. They ljave there, fore determined- ; j That after the 1st of September next, nj Subscriber to a"ny of their: Papers will be re ceived, without payHieiit jot Kt least half a" year in advance: i .j - ; That, in future, paymerjt from all Stibscri, bers will be requiredrannu&lh; In case'fifa failure of payment within I hree months after the expiration, of the year notice having been previously given off such expiration) the Paper of every such defaulter shall ie discontinued; i That a'l arrears at present due for News, papers are expected to be paid, or secud, at or before the close bfth present year. In cases of failure, the delinquent Subseriber wnl be struck on the list, and their accpun'i put into a train for immediate settlement: That payment is expected in ail cases with Advertisements, when sent for publication. The Printers hope that these regulation will not be taken amiss by a!ny of;t heir friends.' That partrof their Patrons who have al ways been punctual iri thr payments (asd to whom they consider themselves greatly obliged) will not be affected by them ; these who have been inattentive to regular pay. ment, principally, perhapsifrom the insigni flcance of the amount, will see the necessity of the course now adopted," when they are informed that the proprietors of each of the Raleigh Papers have several thousand daK lars owing in small -Sums' ?o scattered over the State that they find it impossible to coir lect them. Respecting thit class of Subscri bers who never intend to, pay (and it is fe? ed there are soipe of this description) the sooner their names are struck off the Frin ters' books the better. Three dollars is a trifle to each Subscriber ; but when a Printer has a large number of Subscribers in arrets not only for one, two or three, but lir sis, ten and 'twelve years, the outstandirp t operates serious inconvenience to him iii. the management oChis business, h is tci remedy this inconvenience, if possible, that the Printers have entered into these joirt Regulations.
