The authority that instituted the court
of inquiry haviug also required an opi
nion on the case submitted ; the court
in'the further discharge of lis duties
unanimously, pronounce as follows :
1 hot, consineiing uie imporum sup
plies of bread stuffs,' which from the
evidence it appears tne enenr.y s toices
derived from the fiur mnufactuing
mills at and near to Dover, Col. Camp
bell was warranted in destroying those
mills according to the laws and usages
of war, and for a like reason, the court
think him justified in -burning the dis
tilleries under the said laws and usages;
1 be saw mills and carding machine,
irom ineir contiguity xo ino oincr tnius,
were, as the court conceives, necessa
rily' involved in one and the same
burning. t".
If resnect to the burmncr of the
dwelling and other houses in the village
of Dover, the court are tully ot an opt
rlon that Col. Campbell has erred ; thai
he can derive no justification from the
fact that the owners of these bouses
we:e activelyopposed to the American
interests in, the' present war. or from
the other facts, that some of jhem were
at the conflagration of Buffaloe. In
their partisan services it does not ap
pear to the court) that the inhabitants
of Dover hate done more than their
proper allegiance required of them :
and the destruction of BufTaloe by a Lt.
Geoeial of the "enemy's, regular forces
wai emphatically the wrong of the Bri

by it subsequent adoption of the mea

The court in dejivcringvthe abQre

are fully aware of thestrorig incentives
to a jus indignation . which must have
been present to his mind at tfte time of
his visit to Dover J-the massacres of the

That these 'recollections should have

It will be seen by the article tinder

anbtnerrpoof of the regard shewn by
Federalists for (he growth and prosperi

pretence does he take this step ? .Be
cause, in answer to his letter requesting
to know what measures had been taken
for manning the forts at Portsmouth, the
Secretary of War, had stated, that
44 Gen. Cushing had sent thither two
companies of Infantry, which, with the
Artillerists tc two hundred seamen un J
der Com. Hull, would make a good de- J
tence against an attack at that port by
boats tne only attack (then) to be ap
prehended" because the Secretary
being silent with regard to the employ-

that the. .United States would not pay
the expenses attending it.-, But did the
Governor -intimate that these troops
