until exhausted by hunger and the nume-
rous wound they had reeeived from the dif-
ferent parties out in search of them, they
\ver« a: length taken, and shortly after
hung, in presence of the rest of the regiment,
who v ere taught to believe that a similar
fate awaited them.
A Gibraltar paper of the 30th of May
expresses a fear that general W.mchop had
been killled, and general Meade severely
vounded at Rosetta.
The account of lieutenant Pike and his
party being cut off by the Indians is totally
unfounded. The latest information entitled
to credit states, that his party having miss-
ed their route, and passed from the Red ri-
ver to the Rio del No'te, in the territory
of. Spain, had been arrested in their course
in the month of February, by a detachment
of Spanish troops and taken to Santa Fee,
and thence to Chihualiua, the residence of
governor Salcedo, who had treated them
•with great attention, and given them liber-
ty to return to the U. States.

COMMUNICATION.
A Citizen over the age of 45, begs ka\Te
to suggest the propriety of forming a com-
pany of such persons as are exempted by
law from military duty. This association
will be for the purpose of defending the ci
ty, when the young men are absent. Such
an association formerly existed, and at this
time it will be particularly proper, because
it will set an example of patriotism to the
younger members of society, & sanction
all that they have already done to defend
their country and support its independence."
Extract of a letter from L'xingtou, (K.)
to a gentleman of Chilicothe, di;ted Ju-
ly IS.
«' Mr. Blannerhassett was arrested in this
place yesterday, and Thomas Todd, circuit
judge of the United States, has directed the
marshal to take him on to the city of Rich-
mond, in Virginia, where he has been in-
dicted for high treason. He is confined 111
the jail of this place, until the marshal 'is
ready to proceed with him."
Extract of a letter from the Havanah, dat-
ed July the 15th, 1807, to a gentleman
in Washington.
" Unfortunately, sir, I am under the dis-
agreeable necessity to inform you that the
yellow fever and black vomit rage violently
amongst the crews of our vessels, and
some of the citizen' of the United States
who are now in this city."
" I have not heard that any other class
of people than the citizens of the United
States have been attainted with this horrid
distemper. Whether it is owing to their
intemperate manner of living, which has
been sometimes carried to excess even here,
and in the most fatal season of the year, is
what I cannot undertake to say ; but I fear
that example and danger will not teach ma-
ny of my countrymen to be more moderate
even in this cutical moment than at any
other period."
It is now said to be very nearly ascer-
tained, that the grand point in dispute be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
the imsettled state oi which point occasi-
oned, the return of the British treaty by the
president, without submitting it to the sen-
ate,—is this :
Whether the United States will insist, at
all hazards th.it Great-Britain shall stipu-
late ty treaty, that the American flag shall
protect all seamen and passengers sailing
under it, even if such seamen and passengers
be t ritish, Irish or Scotch deserters, emi-
grating subjects, or refugee traitors ; and
that all vessels bearing the American flag be
exempt from search after such persons, in
the seas which border on the British islands
as well as on the high seas.
On the full attainment of this immunity
the president of the United States, it is said,
has resolved to insist. On the other hand,
the British government declares, that such
an admission would tend to destroy the ex-
istence of Gieat-Britain as a maritime pow-
er, and of curse-leave her an easy prey to
her enemies ; and therefore cannot be as-
sented to. This being the fact, the point
in controversy becomes highly momentous ;
and immense interests, and perhaps the lives
of thousands, are at stake thereon.
[_Boston Centinel.~\
From a London paper of May 18.
The report which was spread yesterday
of an order, which it was pretended had
been given by the admiralty to seize all the
American vessels which were in our ports,
was without foundation. But we believe
that instructions have been given to our
cruizers to detain hereafter such American
vessels as shall not be destined for England,
or for the ports of which the British govern-
ment has not expressly interdicted, the en-
try to their vessels by these instructions.
Further, the government of the United
States appear to yield at this moment and to
shew amicable rather than hostile disposi-
tions. President Jefferson has lately issued
a proclamation, prolonging the importation
of British goods, to the second Monday in
December next. The treaty concluded be-
tween Great-Britain and the United States,
has been sent back by the American go
vernment, to be revised, and submitted to a
new discussion ; and there is great appear-
ance that the difficulties will be amicably ad-
justed between the two nations.

DREADFUL FIRE.
Exeter, Friday Evening, 8 o'clock.
This city has been in the inmost conster-
nation all this day, as one of the most des-
tructive fires has happened that ever was
witnessed in the west of England, viz.
the town of Chudleigh, nine miles from
hence, on the great Plymouth road, has
been on fire ever since ten o'clock this morn-
ing, and the whole plac*e is nearly consum-
ed ; the Clifford Arms and Kings Arms,
with the three other inns, are all innshes ;
the last coach (which arrived here just now)
was obliged to go through a field, and with
difficulty escaped, though the coachman
was much burnt. Of the few houses
that remained most of them were on fire
when the coach left ihe place ; but we have
not yet heard of any lives being lost. Du-
ring the conflagration; several explosions of
gun-powder took .place, as a quantity was
kept in the town for the purpose oi bl
up racks. It is said it broke oiit at a bak-
er's shop, I suppose the fire will occar 01
a delay in tlie ia?.ii to-night, utiles?' they pass
by some bye-road". Recollecting their was
fto post to night, I intend going to-mor-
row to survey the ruins.
Saturday Night,-
The devastation that the devouring ele-
ment has effected, is beyond all power of
description ; there is no resemtolatje of what
the town was before. The spectacle is af-
fecting and distressing to Hie utmost degree.
Nothing is left but a few detached houses at
the enlaance of the town. The whole body
of the place presents to the eye nothing but
chimneys and walls, that appear like ancient
ruins. The number of houses destroyed is
computed at 175. Tents and various neces-
saries have been going all day from this city,
for the accommodation of the sufferers. -
Several troops of the military have also
inarched to render their assistance. The
right worshipful the mayor of Exeter has
called the inhabitants this evening to con-
sider of the most effectual means of affording
relief.
To the President of the United States.
We, the officers a'id privates of the
Ride Company of Baltimore, known by the
'• Union Guards of Liberty," attached to the
27th regiment Maryland militia, commanded
by Lieut. Col. William L.iwry, conscious
that at this threatening conjuncture our
country is entitled to every man's utmost
efforts in her cause, and that zeal tor her
interest, and an ardent preparation for the
worst, is the most effectual method of either
arresting war or of shortening its duration,
tender to you, sir, their unanimous service,
in avenging the insulted honor and outraged
rights Of the United States ; and in case the
collected wisdom of the country shall resort
to the last dreadful alternative, they shall
h Id themselves ready upon your order, to
march at a moment's warning to any part
of the United States that your excellency
may think proper to order them. In behalf
of the company, we have, sir, the honor to
subscribe ourselves,
Your obed't humble servants,
WM. WOODLAND,
Captain.
CHARLES STANSBUKY,
Lieutenant.
JOHN YOUNG,

Baltimore, July 27, 1807.
To captain William Woodland, the other
officers and privates of the Rifle company
of Baltimore, known by ihe " Union
Guards of Liberty " attached to the 27th
re. iinent of Maryland Militia, command-
ed lient. col. William Lowry.
The offer of your services in support 1 f
your country, merits and meets the highest
praise ; and whenever the moment arrives
in which the>e rights must appeal to the
public a*tm for support, the spirit from
which your orlei flows—that which animates
our country, will be their sufficient safe-
guard-
To the legislature will be rendered a faith-
ful account of the events which have so
justly excited the sensibilities of our coun-
try; of the measures taken to obtain repara-
tr p, and of their results and to their wis-
dom will belong the coui»e to be ultimately
pursued.
In the mean time it is our duty to pur-
sue that prescribed by the existing laws,
towards which, should your servises be re
quisite, this offer of them will be remember-
ed.
I tender, for your country, the thanks
you so justly deserve.
