But our existence under any forms of freedom or happiness depending upon our success against that power whose yoke we have shaken off, we consider an attention to army as a matter of the highest importance to us, and what eught to be the first object of your regard : We therefore, most solemnly enjoin it upon you to take 1mmmediate steps for filling up our quota dur- ing the war, and to provide for the supply of every thing necessary for the comfort and convenience of both officers and men ;—and we conceive that it is highiy expedient that their pay henceforth be made in gold or silver, and all promises to them panctually complied with—even a momentary in- Ron to their wants we consider as highly eri- minal. At a time when our resources, our alliances and abilities are greater thanever, we behold the inde- pendence of our country wounded and struggling un- der the loss of public faith, without enquiring into the policy of former administrations or criminating them or ourselves for mistaken ideas of finance— we eonceive that public and private credit rests upon the same basis of integrity and honor, of economy and punctuality ;—and we instruct you to revise all the laws now existing with respect to our paper curreney, and to use your influence to obtain a repeal of any part of them which may appear in- consistent with these principles. Taught by experience, that all land embargoe: all commercial restrictions between the several States, are contrary to sound policy and these social and friendly principles which unite our common in- terest, we direct you by no meansto consent to them.—On the other hand we have seen with con- cern, an illicit trade carrying on with our invete- rate enemies, this we conceive to be highly oppos- ed to all the principles ef policy and wisdom ; in- consistent with eur pretensions; injurious to our generous allies, and what ought to be prohibited under the severest penalties. i The frequent secnee of mers of war is 80 alarming iu itself, and so dishonorable to our po- lice, as to require an immediate remedy,—we ob- ject not to their enjoying all the privileges of hu- manity which their situation and ours will admit of; but surely these ought not to operate a facil- ity of escaping, so injurious and disreputable to us. The protection of our too long neglected sea- coasts, 18 so important, and what comes so natur- ally under the concern of the representatives of a commercial city, that we think it needless to in struct you upon it. An enquiry into the state of the Libeegat and afrequent adjustment of that and all other pul lie accounts. A knowledge of the pub- lic debts ana the provisions made for the discharge ot them, are certainly within the line of your duty. Cultivate a frequent correspondence with our sis- ter States—acquaint yourselves with their circum- stances, their wants and resources—by a reciproci- ty of cond offices, mutual affection will be en- creased, and by a unionof force the designs of our enemies will be defeated. In a word, make our most excellent constitution the rule of your conduct—be governed by 1s pri jet ind permit no law contrary to them, to take place—cherish the interests of literature and thefeciences, of virtue and piety; and you cannot fail ot that highest reward in a republic, the appro- bation of your fellow-citizens. A true copy, Attest. WILLIAM COOPER, town clerk. To Sm HENRY CLINTON. WHEN 1 took the liberty to address you on a former occasion, I did not suppose it would have fallen to my part, to have experienced a se- cond time, so singular a distinction. You were then Sesoending time ibe small degree of eminence you had so dif at acquired, to mingle your fame with that of your forgotten predecessors. Even re friends beheld you, pe anes of those — whose faint appearance neither produces fear nor astonishment, and whose course after a few hours of idle curiosity is only to be seen in the records of the astronomer. ¢ hopes of your flatterers, and the expectations of your enemies were nd averse from a revival of your reputation. Indo- lence at one time, parade at another, and senseless variety of seeming enterprizes, half formed, or ter- minating without effect, had justly fixed your cha racter, and marked it with that bewildered expres. sion, which it was thought no experience could be.ter. Bat you have lived to enjoy a Gey GS oublic opinion, and to erect a new fame on tae another. With a submission that shews you atleast sed of a certain portion of pru- dence, you committed the mana nt of your councils toa man of superior abilities. From thie moment Mr. Andre becaine the first minister to his commander, and your affairs felt the influence of such a director. But Sir Henry, thy sagacity fore- saw no evil in his attempts, nor could his own penetration provide inst his ship- wreck. Flattered with the baubles of favoriteism, hegave fresh life to your hopes, and drew you from the closet where you were sadly anticipating the horrors of sinking authority, jat others viewed as impossible, appeared to him Gg en difficult, and he embraced your interest from the same passion that made Casar a king, and, perhaps, Brutus an assassin. Such are the errors of ambition or the da. He nodvenon oF Chaiertown, produged he ents NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 3, 1844. first change in your character. I will rather sup- pose that youassumed the command of this expe- dition, from a principle peculiar to men of your spirit, than that the measure was the result of ed- vice. You were sensible that you had not less to fear from the success of another than from your own mismanagements. To you, all victories but your own brought with them the force of a punish- ment: And as your commission invested you with a liberty to act where you pleased in America, you thonght this experiment the only one that remained. Ministry feared this, but without limiting your power, they could not guard against your interfe- rence. Gornwallis felt the injury, and commenced your spemny, submitted to be a secondary actor where he should have been the principal ; and you succeeded with a force that made it impossible to fail. But the execution of the enterprize, clogged with the characteristicks of your character, brought with it consequences you little apprehended. You sat down before a pace which you should have carried by assault: With an army of ten thousand men, and a competent naval superiority, you invest- ed a town of large extent, fortified only by sandy entrenchments, raised in two months without cov- ered way, destitute of out works, open in several places on the water side, exposed every where to an open attack, and defended bya garrison insuffi- cient by one half. To remain forty-two days be- tore such a place, with open trenches, and display all the apparel of a regular siege, transfers the whole glory to the garrison: In all this, perhaps, you may have been governed by the rules of pru- dence, if not of enterprize. But when we contrast your conduct with that of the American troops in cungorting an incessant fire, subject all the while to danger of a surprize, and te open attacks, the success of which was almost certain had you taken proper measures, your very friends, Sir Heu- HD lose sight of your triumph in contemplating eir firmness and fortitude. This is the result of your expedition when stript of the pomp of a long labored letter, which was to Give you a new existence at St. James's, and your istry a fresh motive for carrying on the war.— Any other people but one devoted to punishment from the course of their crimes, knowing the cir- enmstances of their succese, would have employed the event to have conditioned for peace. But your nation in pursuing the meteor it had raised, though some new ground was passed over, found them- selves no nearer their object. Still they were as children fooled by the amusive figure of a magic }, and continued vain dupes to the dexteri- ty of their ji 18. In all courts but that of Great Britain, the cap- tare of Charlestown will have ceased to operate in your tavour. The first moment of its impression was yours, the succeeding one a panegyric on America. It was told and talked of by your court and its runners, as if the sudden subduction of at least the Southern States was a natural conse- quence. In this paroxysm of success, an elated minister hurried out to the world a Gazette extra- , to publish your letter; where you speak of Corawallis’ ‘expected presence on the frontier of North Carolina, and a small expedition into Cape Fear river, to favor the revolution you looked for higher ap,the country.* To have made these boastings efficient, they should have been followed by a second account of cities taken, and mote from the frontiers of North Carolin not be enough to tell the world, that h ed an advantage, where it was led to believe he had no enemies to o| e. Nay Cornwallis will lose even the honour of a victory, when it it is known, that cg ahead American troops were inferior in num- bers, they were superior in courage ; and that they recovered by the latter what they left by the form- er: Nor, after the defection of the militia, did they submit to a retreat, till their enemy were disgraced by their resistance. Bat leaving these matters, we find you in New- York, returned frum your otolen expedition, iv all the pomp of an eastern conqueror; swelled with the praises of your Peay and flattered with the prospects of fresh marks of royal dis- tinction, Wath such an army as’you commanded, you looked forward to an aciive campaign in this marter. Prevented from this by the exertions of e States, and confined to your garrison after the en, ment at Springfield, you sat down gloomy r jisappointed. You saw the campaign spending itself in abortive parade, when the powers of cor- Tuption were called on to close it ineclat. West- int was to be the object and General Arnold its trayer. From what medium of intelligence you gained a knowledge of his principles, whether you argued from your own heart to his, or received it trom himself, we shall leave to the better explana- tion of time. Nor shall we enquire, why one so high in military reputation aa Arnold, acquired too under such a ndor of circumstances, as justly entitled him to that rank which he held in Lt should thus dispose of his fame and his moral cha- racter. For the sake of humaa nature it were to be wished that a veil coula be forever thrown over such examples of depravity. But from time to time, society is disturbed by their arance. In Arnold’s situat Cromwell wou! acted as Arnold. And could Clive have changed places with Arnold, Clive would have sold America, and Amold would have exhausted the East-Indies of its wealth and bribed the British Parliament to suffer him to spend a few years in wretchedners In these we see the composition of which as conjunctures point, we the disgrace, the piri consider as the ornament 01 pride or th tilence of mank my 4 the defectionof Arnold A my less; and you are not sure of a new fi that submits to one sale may be te: ther.—If your nation can be please purchase it must lately have ex nced a con- version in favor of traitors.

Such is the man you have bought, and it were wrong did America envy you his ion. But the exultation you enjoyed on this occarion was not that of a moment. It was desultory and fugi- tive as the faint hopes of a dying sinner; whilst the capture of Major Andre, your Adjatant-Ge- neral, under the circumstances ef a spy, and the tailure of your scheme, burst upon your own head, like the discovery of « plot on that of « traitor’s.

The very army of your enemy wondered at your total privation of sensibility ; and while they complied with the law and usages of nations, did justice to his magnani- mity. “Be my witnesses,” said he to them, “while I acknowledge the propriety of my sen- tence, that I die like a braye man.” Had ‘eae ought of sentiment, Sir Harry, there would be no end to your afflictions, had you a magnanimity like Andre’s, you would, at least, | have sacrificed your commission, could that have | preserved his life.—If to be great is to be unfeel- ing I ask not for greatness.
