At a Convention of Six FIoKnaKB Republi cn Citizens, representmc: all the towns in YorE County. Massachusetts, on the 10th of septerooer, a ramouc Aaaresi was agreea upon. After stating Ihe Causes which have led ua into "War, they go on to say M It is with, mortification and regret, that this convenUon perceive, that there is a desperate and malignant faction. among us, organized, to embarrass the Government in prosecuting the war.. to aid and encourage the enemy and effect a Separation of the Northern from the other States Wihin the memory of many of us, the British nation was de stroying our property, burning our ci ties, barbarously butchering' our wives and children, and attempting to fix the badge of alavery on us and our posted y.

It is with that indignation, which the lose of country should alws'ys inspire. that we perceive that the sacred desk has, in many instances, been prostituted to base and treasonable purposes. When men to respectable and iafluen. tial as the clergy, pervert their sacred office, and, in time of war, endeavor to u persuade men to acts of opposition and ELLioM, it becomes us to watch, with unusual solicitude, over our rights : and withdraw ail countenance and sup port from men who have proved them selvei Unworthy of 4heir office.

T ., From Cobbetfi London Political Begitten : American" states. ' A second American war setmcd to be all that was wanting to complete the round "of adventures in this jubi lee reign i arid this; it stems, we hiiye now got. It was very hard to per suade people that America would de clare war; I beggedof the Prince Regent not to listen to those -who af ected to lauh at American hostility. I told him. in so many w or ds, that ive should have warTubcss we redressed the grievances that America com plaint d 'of. Scarcely any body cou!d be prevailed upon to .believe this ; but it m come true, it seerris, alter alL The anti-jacobins will not believe mej hev HniR mv wat-nin nnrl rhv pay fcr it in the end.: Not only the iJr- u : .ul a f. ll. iu' public, but the government in Eng land w holly disbelieved that the Ame ricans Would go to war. The truth i that there are "s o many newspapers ! in England, whose sole purpose is, to deceive the pubuc, that the wonder is that any truth at all ever gains gene ral belief." There has; however, been an extraordinary degree-o( obstinacy as to thereal. intention of lAtnerica with regard to w$r. Kothing-could; inauce people to oeiieve tnatsnewouui go tO war. I asserted and proved, as 1 thought, that it was naturally to be expected that she would , go to war, unless we did away the orders in coun cil, and also the impressment of Ame rican seamen ; but scarcely a soul would believe. Perhaps, it imay be good for the cause of freedom that I was not believed ! ;Butflet us now quit the past acd iook a little to the future. What will take place now f The letter, or pretended letter, from Liverpool, under the date of the 18th HMt. would make this cheated nation believe that the moment the news af rives of the repeal of orders 10 tjoun- cif, tht quarrel ivzti Amenca wilkbe at an end It will be best however, to let the letter speak for itself . I have to advise you, that a pilot-bopt is arrived here to-dav from N. York, which she left on the 22d ult. brincr- jQg atx account that the Senate, after deliberating seven da vs. had come to ALtL ,UHn;1MM;n.J at N.York to Mai-Bloom- cia' wnicn a"?e "faa 01 army,iormany announcing mat wic y. m a a si ' sr - . ? i aeciared war agamtu. oruaio I think it .proper to add, however, that the houses in New-York which dispatched the pilot with; this' infor- mation, for the purpose of making speculations in produce expressly or dered that, should the orders in coun cil be revoked, their friends herewere on no account to make any purchases for them. This is a convincing proof that this declaration of war will' be 9hort4ived and on the arrival of the Gazette, containing the revocation of the orders m council, all . mattcra in dispute between , the , two countries will be amicably settled. rTHe Mack a rel schooner - hadibeen dispatched from -New-York hy Mr; Fosterdirect toFalmouthi the daV before the pilot- hmtAUA Whn hi Senate carne the resolutibn ofJeclaring war; A? is to be set on fobt' .VVe ate now to ielieve that. the declaration of war to Have no effectJill now it has been asserted, distinctly asserted, that the allthAcircumstaricestc A. - iactB It Iwasi hctC the Senate had reiecte d the'prppot- tiortv but the cumber o. the majority , I against the mbtion w?r,i veri to ibis me'ceivedthMehca'tfd nation.
