Whitby, late pf the Leander, had been promoted to the command of a 74, and was to be station- ed on the Americaa coast, we have good reason to believe is a falshood. At the last dates from England, Whitby was out of command. He had been tried, on the charge of having violated the neutrality of the United States, by firing on an American vessel, and killing John Pearce, within the jurisdiction of the United States. But seve- ral witnesses swore, that when the gun which killed Pearce was tired, the Leander was from four to six miles from the American shore. He was accordingly acquitted. NEW-YORK, July 2.

Livingston and family, and Mr. F...:!aird. The ship Milford, Crookshank, 24 days from Savanna la-Mar, Jamaica. A week -j:.cti> 1S07, proves the correctness of this at .vei.ient. y" The Spanish privateers bave already comrancced capturing our vessels bound to Gibraltar, under the blockading decree ; my young man writes m- one condemnation' grounded thereon has already taken place. To a certainty every vessel that they may fall in with, bound in or out of Gibraltar, or with destination to any English port will bt captured and condemned ; intact, open war seems Jo b-i fan I < utrage. would puisue the footsteps o. a Bi iiish mob. Fellow-citizens, we invite you forbearance, we solicit your moiieratfon ui appeal to your magnanimity to cuhtllHa:- that digniiied and turn course ef Cu.uci, which, on the first day ot July, shed =ucn a lustre around the character of thi n-'. mtn of the first congressional district O' Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, July 3, 1807. [Tnis address was signed by every mem- ber of the committee present.] PUIiLIC INFORMATION. The committee appointed by the citizens of the rirst congressional district, inform their fellow citizens, that by consent of the owners of the brig Fox, the vessel is com mitted to the care of the committee, and is under their safe guard. Capt. Huff, has been appointed by the committee, to whom the vessel is entrusted, and if any violence shall hereafter be done, the committee will consider it as an insult offered to them, and as an outrage done their characters, and they cannot suppose that any citizen will do injury to the feelings or honor of men appointed to watch over their interests. BICHMOND, July 1. TOWN-MEETING. To the President of the United States. Sir, VVe, the citizens of Richmond, Manches- ter, and their vicinities, and many other per- sons from distant places, who have assembfcd to take under consideration the late hostile attack upon the frigate Chesapeake, by a British ship of war, and the murder of a number of American seamen in a time of peace, are impelled by the strongest motives, to express those sentiments of indignation which the occasion must naturally inspire. When we reflect upon the uniform course of pacific conduct which has. been observed by the government of the United States towards all foreign nations^ when we recollect, on the other hand, the innumerable insults and aggressions which Great-Britain has inflicted en our just and lawful commerce j we can only discover in this recent act of violence, the consummation of a system which has for its object the prostration of neutral rights, at tbe feet of a haughty and ambitious pow- er. The door of negociation is finally clos- ed ; the first blow of war has been struck ; and the people of America are called upon to decide whether they will lally around the standard of the constitution, or resign at once that glorious independence which was purchased by the valor of their fathers, and cemented with their blood. At a period «f such maejftitijje as tl:e nf«5e«tj it i* pecu- liarly necessary that the Pcoftle^ef-stffirl&r" should display to the'world the devotion which they feel to the free, mild and uenia- cent government under which they Iiv#, and,' their invincible determination to resist to the utmost" extremity, every outrage on their rights, from whatever quarter they m^ ' proceed. The persons who now address vou," speak not only for themselves, but for their country ; they feel that they deliver the sentiments of the nation ; and they are con-' fident that they will find a corresponding emotion in the bosom of the chief magistrate of the union. When an act of utiequivocal.Jiostilify has • been perpetrated ; when our antied vessels are not permitted to leave our own ports with impunity ; when a British commander gives the signals from our very harbors, foe . the capture of our ships, it becomes a ques- tion not of reason, but of'feeling. Whate- ver may be the grounds of the contest in which we are engaged, we are compelled to close inthat appeal to arms which lias been made by our adversarv. It is impossible to pursue a temporising conduct, without en- graving an indelible stain on our national character. Toe reputation of our country is at stake ; and it must now be decided whe- ther we shall assume.the dignified attitude of an independent state, or meanly croucli under the lash of an insolent foe. No nation upon earth has so many cogenff reasons for maintaining a friendly intei- eourse with the rest of the world, as .the United States. Far removed from that bloody scene of amnition, which Europe has exhibit- ed lor centuries';.pursuing the even tenor of honest industry : regardless of that illusive: glory which is oniy to be obtained at the eX- pei ce of b.ippiiieKs ; anxious only for tbaS lid renown, which springs frpnj an ui.de-. .idling course of justice and virtue ; too sin> p\e for the i; sidious arts of .courtly intrigue, and too refined for the exertion of lawless] power, they Blight have flattered themselves with .be hope, that th"y should escape the ravages cf those conflicts which have deso- lated the old continent America has every thing (0 hope from p.ace, and every thing to deprecate from wrir. But her growing commeice and rising prosperity, cherished by the genial warmth of freedom, were ob- jects too tempting tip the rapacious eye cf " a pow er who arrogates to herself ;he exclu- sive dominion of the seas. F:om the mo- ment when our independence was establish- ed, Great-Britain regarded with rnalij$»:aiit jealousy, the progress of a nation whom she had once held in bondage. From that moment until the present, she has waged an open or concealed war against our indispu- table rights, It would »be superfluous to 'dwell en the various crimes which she has committed against the law of nations; but if may not be improper to enumerate a i'< w lOre prominent than the rest, which marts' the spirit which lias pervaded her whole con. - duct. She has occupied posts within our territory whfoh ought to have been surren- dered by treaty ; she lias enlarged the law ! of contraband, beyond the most liberal con- struction of tbe law of.nations; she has sew zed our vessels laden with provisions ; sha has invented a new system of blockade, ! which extends not merely to single ports ac- I tually invesUb, but to whole countries with \ whom she .night be at war ; she has modifi- 1 ed, restrained and enlarged the rights of neu- trals, accordir.g to her interest or caprice, while her courts of admiralty have carried her ; edicts into rigid execution ; she has denied to neutral nations the incontestil b- ri;;ht to ; re-export to a belligerent power the commo- dities which they have fairly purchased from a .colony of the same power—and she has blockaded.our ports and impressed seamen f iomeur 1 ess. Is within om-lawful jurisdiol ion. : lit, atr dims as these aets may seem, they are insignificant when coii'pued with tha flagrant outrage lately eommitted on the iri- e Chesapi ake. 'Wii; most bumble syco* pJ.ant of 61 feat Britain has i-evei yet assert- ed I ei righi to search a ship of w'ar brlong- :r" t a ii'urial nation. A vessel of this de. -crmtii is as sacred as the territory ittelf; its flag i- a passport throughout the world ; ann an insujt ofiend to it is a direct attack upon the sovereignty of the state to which it belongs. A conduct like this can n«itb_vf be ib-i'ended nor palli.dvd ; and it is necessa- ry to meet the approac liingconf.ict ^ith the decision becoming freemen. While we are sensible of the evils which must result from w.ar, vie are prepared to encounter them, in defence of our dearest rights. We are confident that but one seiu timent pervades the .'merican people ; and that, however they may be divided as to points of domestic policy, they are actuated by one soul in repelling the aggressions of a foreign power. It remains for the wisdom of the constituted authorities, to direct with efficacy the energies of the nation, It is our part to declare to you and to the world, that we are prepared tojivpport, with our lives and fortunes, the government of our choice, against every power upon earth.
