It was yesterday rumoured that the French
ship L'Patriot, of 74 guns:, had got down
tilt1 bay, and proceeded to sea , we have the
best reasons for saying that the report is
v.'ithout foundation.
On Wednesday evening two of the Fritish
ships (the Triumph and the Melampus) left
Hampton R.-ads, and went down to the
Capes ; the loellona and the Leopard remain
S'i befoie.
We have not understood that the Procla-
mation of the president has been officially
communicated to the commander of the
British shins, although we believe that he is
Informed of it, but most probably waits an
eiifieial notification before he departs, if he
lurai'.s to depart. Thisnotilication willpro-
b:;.lAy be given this day.
It is very evident from subsequent events
that commodore Douglas repents the letter
which he addressed to the mayor ; he may
have further and more serious cause of re-
gret on this subiect. We were never more
disappointed in the result of any affair than
Tti'S were in the present case. The spirited
snd at the same time discreet answer re-
turned by the mayor, placed the British
^romander in a situation the most auk-vard
tttaf can be Supposed. He did not appear
a! firstto k sensible of the high and respon-
sible ground which he was about to assume.
To blfickade a port of ;i neutral and frirnd-
J.y power, and to detain its vessels going out
;* .. ttmiirtg in, would be ho less an act of
hostility, Than if a force bad been landed,
,st re ., lied. Neutrals sub-
ji.dt with much reluctant" '.¦.> the exclusion
oi their c. -.-I',:ei;e- i:-¦¦¦¦'' .dent ports by
blockade ; foi co : ' too "often set-
tles the qu ' ; cofnmander,
¦ " r. Tazewell,
had no orders to commit acts of hostility,
but in defence of his flag ; he therefore
Could not execute what he menaced in his
letter of the third, without doing what he
was not authorised ; he did not appear to
recollect when he wrote that the act was an
act of hostility. Sensible now of his error,
he wishes to give an explanation to his letter,
which it is not Susceptible of. No one can
mistake its meaning, and it was in this way
we were mistaken, for when we read his
letter; we concluded that hostilities were to
follow. The limitation of hostility pre-
scribed in the letter had no weight with us,
for when hostility begins, it is not for one
party to determine its limits.
It h wever is evident, from the result,
that c mmodore Douglas has conducted
himself upon this occasion without any cre-
dit to himself, or honor to his Country. To
threaten with a view to intimidate, d-es not
furnish the evidence of understanding or
courage. If this affair concerned the future
fate and reputation of captain Douglas only,
we should not have noticed it in this way ;
but there is some reparation to be made for
the insult, and for the consequences which
have followed. The executive of the state
' considered, from the letter of commodore
Douglas, that hostilities would commence
immediately, and accordingly ordered a mi-
I litai y force to repair to this place and II imp*
j ton. The public expeiiee, the inconveni-
1 ence to citizens, many of them engaged in
; important and useful avocations, brought
j upwards of loo miles from their places of
residence, and the particular injury done to
> this place in various ways, all demand re-
{ paration. ¦
It is some consolation to reflect, that the
! conduct of our magistracy, upon this occa-
! sion, has been marked with so much pru-
j dence and firmness. [Ledger, j
In the narrative which we published the
24th of last month, it mi^ht be inferred that
the men taken from the Chesapeake had
deserted from Uie Halifax ; the fact is they
had left the Melampus ; bat admiral Berkley s
instructions contained a list of eight men,
vvlvcli the commander of the Leopard was or-
deredjtosearchfoi' &;take, if found on board ;
four had belonged to the Melampus, the other
four to the Halifax. We state from good
authority that captain Humphries was order-
ed to oiler permission to commodore Barron
to search the Leopard for American seamen,
and that he communicated these oriVrs to
com liodore Barron. Such an offer might
have th" afil'ttirnne'e of reciprocity, but no-
thing more. The commander of the Leopard,
knowing that he was to make this offer,
could very easily have removed any Ameri-
cans that might have been on board to any
of toe ether ships. An offer to permit a
search of(i// the ships, would iiave produced
a substantial beneoi, bur all this is mere trif-
ling ; no national ship ought to be searched.
and although we ever have advocated, ano
still do advocate the creation of a navy, we
would tailier see ti.e few ships that remain
destroyed, than to surrender a principle that
would reduce us from the rank of an indent
pendent nation.
The federal and state executives are daily
adding to the securi y of our place. We
are already in a state to bid defiance to the
force now within our waters. This evening
the Richmond and Petersburg cavalry are
expected at Portsmouth. The infantry may
be expected on Sunday.
yesterday a large quantity of gunpowder
and shot arrived for the use of the naval force
of the United States. [Ibid]

(CIRCULAR.)
War Department, July 6th, 1807.
His Excellency the Governor of the state of
Virginia.
Sip,
The president of the United States has
directed me to call upon the executives of
the several states to take effectual measures
to organise, arm and equip, according to
law, and hold in readiness to march at a
moment's warning, their respective propor-
tions of one hundred thousand militia, offi-
cers included, by virtue of an act of con-
gress passed on the 18th day of April, 1806,
iiititul"d, " An act authorising a detach-
ment from the militia of the United States."
This therefore is to require of your excel-
lency to take effectual measures tor having
eleven thousand five hundred and sixty-three
of tile militia of Virginia (being her quota)
detached and duly organised in companies,
battalions, regiments, brigades and divisi-
ons, within the shortest pe ioci that circum-
stances will permit ; and as ne-rly as prac-
ticable, in the following proportions of ar-
tillery, Cavalry and. infantry, viz. one. twen-
tieth part of artillery, (me tenth part of ca-
valry, and the residue infantry. There will
however be no objection on the part of the
president of the United Slates, to the ad-
mission of a proportion of riflemen, duly
organised in a distinct corps, and not ex-
ceeding one tenth part of tna ahole quota
of the states respectively : each corps should
be properly aimed ami equipped tor actual
service, Anv companies ot volunteers, who,
previous to orders for taking the field, may
tender their services conformably to the so
cond section ot the aforesaid act, or to an,
act of congress (a copy of which is enclosed)
passed on the 24th day of February 1807,
intituled, " An act authorising the presi-
dent of the United States to accept the ser-
vices of a number of volunteer companies,
not exceeding thirty thousand men," will
be considered as a part of the aforesaid
quota of eleven thousand five hundred and
sixty-three, according to their numbers ;
• and, from the well known patriotism of our
fellow' citizens, it wui.f"be pres'umea} ffi#
uhcler'the existing cireumshr«<*s of our
c Hintry, a large proportion of the quotas of
the several states wi 1 be composed of Such
volunteer corps, especially, as they will
undoubtedly meet with every encourage-
ment from your excellency, and from all
other patriotic, influential characters.
When the detachment and r.rganization
shall have been effected, the respective
corps will be exercised under the officers set
o;cr them : But will not remain embodied,
or be considered as in actual service, until,
by subsequent orders, they shall be directed
to take the field ; your excellency will please
to direct that correct muster rolls and inspec-
tion returns be made of the several corps ;
and that copies thereof be transmitcd to this
department as early as possible.
I have the honor to be,
very respectfully,
your excellency's obd't serv't,
H. DEARBORN.

COMMUNICATON.
A Public Debt, a Public Blessing.
To the Stockholdarsof the Baltimore Library
Company :
We are called upon to assembly at the Li-
brary lloom on the 17th instant, to consi-
der the propriety of contracting a debt of
six or seven thousand dollars for the pur-
chase of a Lot of Ground, on which to
erect a suitable building for the horary
room ; this debt it is intended to pay by
our additional contribution of two dollars
each year for eight years, at the expiration
of which time we are doubtless to be called
on for a further contribution to build a house,
whicli- judging by the pi ice of the lot, must
cost at least from fifteen to twenty thousand
dollars more, or we will allow the house and
lot to cost the round sum of tweut3'.i;Ve
thousand dollars the interest on which will
be equal to fifteen hundred dollars per year,
or about three and a half dollars per year fur-
ever on each share, in addition to the an-
nual contribution of four dollars. Under
these considerations, I would suggest the
propriety of all Stock!) .Iders attending at
the time appointed to convince the Direct-
ors that though they may, we do not consi
der " a public debt a public blessing," Z.
