i'he hour of retribution at lenth ai+ived.
Further submission would Have marked us
as slaves and have stamped indelible dis- ~
Krace on our national character. In fact
the minions of Great Britain had already
propagated tiie doctrine, " that our consti
tution was unable to withstand the rude
shock gf wsr, and that submission or na
tlnnal dissolution was out only alternative.*'
Our moderation and love of peace had in
Europe gained proselytes to this doctrine.
Little did t?>e TMfiafv nation suppose That
by their injustice they were impelling; pur
jtyepuhlic towards the high destinies that
awaited it* Little did they suppose that
they were about to add to our rank as a
nation.
The genius of our country awoke from
its ? slumbers and routed Americans to
firms., "The sword of war was drawn, not
in blind fury or head long resentment ; but
with a dignified solemnity, chai ac*eristic of
a brave and virtuous people, and worthy of
the best of causes. . It was raided alofi in
pious adjuration The approbation of Hea

- The occurrences of the last war are too
Tecent to require a detail* The British na
tion flushed with the victories of their ar
Tuies and the uniform triumph of their
navy ; through the medium of their presses
proclaimed to the world \ 4 That the undis
ciplined armies of the New- World would
waste be fore the veteran troops of England:'
That the Inmncibl r Legion* of Wellington
would perfect their glory bv interweaving
Sn their triumphal wreath " Laurels
of American growth." That th^ Ame
rican Commerce and Navy would in a few
short months, be swept from the face of
the great deep. But alas ! how sadly were
ihey disappointed. Ametica emerged from
oemlest triumphant She cam^ forth
carve red with new glory. The heroes of
the Old World sunk beneath the unerring
mitt of the American Riflemen, and our
44 warriors prostrated entire
cokmins of the enemy in a dav.
"When we advert to the achievements ef
our Nwy? wc caT* scarce find language to
SJKprgS* toir admiration. The triumphs
rnnd character of the British navy previous
to o jr contest with them, can best attest
the merits of our teamen. For ages had

Dayton, who arrived at this port
yesterday in 60 days from Rio Jan- j
eiro, via St. Thomas, informed us, !
that tile old Governor of Pernam- ;
buco arrived at Rio a few days
before he sailed : and stated that he
was forced to flv from Pernambuco
on account of a mutiny which broke
out there among the soldiers, owing
to the scarcity of provisions. He
was accused of conniving with
certain merchants and speculating
upon the soldiery and inhabitant*
in the necessaries of life. A num
ber of merchant had been placed
at the head r>{ the government, and
tranquility was restored. One fri
gate and two or three schooners^
sailed from Rio Janeiro for Pernam
buco, on the of April* and
about acoo of the local militia,
had volunteered to embark. The
expense was to be defrayed by the
merchants. Monte Viedo was qui
etly in ^possession of the Portuguese.
