At a large meeting of the citizens of Bos- ton, and of its vicinity, at the State house in Boston, on Friday, loth July, 1807, called in consequence of the late attack made by the British ship of war Leopard, on- the United States trigate Chesapeak. The hon. Elbridge Gerry, was unani- mously chosen Moderator—and the hon. Peres Morion secretary of the meeting. The following gentlemen were chosen a committee to report resolutions, expressive of the Sense of the citizens on this momen- tous occasion, viz. The hon. Parnqbits Bldtvcll, 'Juhn .Ouln- cy Adams, Dr. Charles jfarvls, hscnjaMn SJustin, Thomson J. ¦ Skinner, George Blake and Perez Mitten.—Who after retiring to the senate chamber, for half an hour, re- turned with the following report, unani- mously adopted by the committee :-~- Wliercas it appears by a proclamation is- sued by the president of the United States, that a most wantpn and cruel outrage has. been couimited upon the United States ife gate Cht < pet !:, by the British ship of War leopard, in which eur citizens have been wounded and murdered, and the flag of our nation, uisuittd and violated. And whereas it is#c duty, as well the right of the citt- cens"of a free country to express Tieir read.!- t he'ss to sup'port the constituted authorities * in the measures they may adopt f r nation- al redress, of an injury so barbarous jn its j nature,- and so unprecedented in its execu- tion.—'-Therefore, Resolved unanimously, That the late ag- gression committed by a British ship of war on a frigate of the United States, for the avowed purpose of taking from her by force a part of her crew, was a wanton outrage upon the persons and/livers of our citizens, au-1 a direct attack on our sovereignty and independence. Resolved unanimously. That the spirited conduct of our fellow citizens at Norfolk 011 this occasion, before the orders of govern- ment could be obtained, was highly honorable to themselves and to the nation. Res'd'ved unanimously, That the firm, dig- nified and temperate policy adopted by our Executive at this momentous crisis, is enti- tled to our most cordial approbation and support. Resolved, unanimously, That with our per- sonal influence and exertions we will aid and assist the constituted authorities in carrying the proclamation of the president of the U. States in every particular into full and effec- tual execution. ' Resolved unanimously. That although we unite with our government in wishing most ardently for peace on just and honorable towns, yet we are ready cheerful!y f.; ca operate in airy measures, however sevi- us, which they may fudge necessary for the safety and honor of oar country and will support then with our lives and forfunes. The report was read twice and accepted unanimously. Voted, That the proceedings of this meet- ing be signed by the moderator and secreta- ry, and published in all the Boston newspa pers Voted, That an attested copy thereof be trans mi :r.td to the committee of Norfolk.

Wey- mouth, arrived here yesterday from Rich- mond informs, that on Friday morning he was boarded in Hampton Roads by a boat from his Britannic majesty's ship Bellona, and treated politely. The officer of the boat inquired for news, and informed capt. W. that the president's proclamation had been received the day before, and was in hopes that in a few days all disputes would be settled. The same e ening capt. W. was boarded off cape Henry by a boat from the Melampus (which frigate and the Triumph 74 dropped down two days before)—they asked for some pou try which captain W. was obliged to refuse giving them. They stated that they were in much want of fresh provisions—that they had plenty of water and salt provisions—and that the ships crews were getting the scurvy: On captain Weymouth's inquiring what they had done \vith tiie seamen taken out of the Chesa- peake, and if they were Englishmen ; the officer answered that they were distributed among the fleet, and that they were Ame- ricans, but they had. received the king's bounty, and signed the ships papers in' England—that they had run off with the captain's pinnace, but had no officer in the boat as has been reported. . By the politeness of a gentleman, lately arrived from London, which place he left on the morning of the 27th of May, we have been favored with the following im- portant intelligence- The source from which it is derived entitles it to the highest credit. Official intelligence was received in Lon- don on the evening of the 26th may, that a sortie had been made from Uantzic by the combined Russia.". ?,nd Prussian '.«i;i:ies,' whits 5,000.. tneff-.frorn Koningsbiirglaa 1 e'ffcCted a 'landing on the Mmy, whioh^lel to a very hloody and long conusted conflict which,) by the'French bulletin,' is said- to have coast the Allies 16,000 men—the wWdfe 5600. fi:>m Konhigsburg were either killed or taked prisoners. The loss on the- side' of the French.is not mentioned. The names of several of the officers were given, and the allies demanded, a suspension of hos- tilities for three days to bury their dead—a part of vhich was only granted. The same account, with the exception of 2 or 3,000 fewer killed, was also received from Den- mark. The next, arrival from England - ill pro- bably bring us the official details of this event. \JPeoples Fi:iend.~\ Arrived, ship Indian Hunter Newman, 52 days from Londonderry, and. 42 from toe laud. Left ship Joseph and Phcebe, to sail the first wind for Baltimore ; barque fvlars, of Newbury port, waiting for passengers ; and schr. Abigail, of Sandwich, for New- York.

Wil son, of Baltimore, for London, in O days ; Swedish ship Magdalena, Johnson, tor lios ton, in 4 days. The schr. Experime.it. Shakes, sailed in co. for tiattimire. The ship rlsbert and Mary, Ayres, sailed i2 days befare for 'New-York. The French priva*er schooner (formerly the Fair Play, of New York) was cast, away about tiie 10th of June on one of the Brothers her crew, and the crews of an English ship and schooner, which she had captured, were saved and arrived at the Cape. ..hris- tophe had taken Gonaives, abolisued the du ty on cotton, &c. and allowed the planters to sell' to" whom they pleased. [By this vessel we have received Christophe's procla- mation relating to the conduct of captain Lewis, and Messrs. Kane and Windsor— /. " The English company are involved ir> considerable trouble in consequence of some one of the crew, of their ship Neptune hav- ing killed a Chinese, for whose life this go- vernment have required one of the crew to be ¦¦'. '; ;¦¦ d up, which has been positively refusal has.produced the s!op. pai^e of all the chops for that ship, and. Mou. <"in.i (2d of'tke Hong) by which she is se- has been, with the linquis.t for the . ship, carried in chains inside the city. I have conversed with Chrongqna and Con* seequa, who have assured'me no incoriwni- en.ee will attend the. Americans ; but ass«rt positively a man must be given up. " The sailors have behaved most infamous* ly—they hauled down and danced on the> Spanish flag, and then destroyed it. Their, captains apologised; and the next day com* p. led the sailors to hoist a new one. Some .few of the scoundrels shew a disposition to pull down the American, and apart ot'tli«m were in the-act of lowering the Swedish, but Were prevented. They Have burat one of the Mandarin's houses in front of the factories. This shameful conduct has induc- ed the Chinese to. determine no more sailors shall be permitted to come up on liberty. It is generally thought the English business, except the country, Will all be stopped in a day or two. The English, including, the Lion man of war, at the Bocca Tigris, amount to 1600 men. A few days will de- cide this unfortunate business." " Canton, March 6, 1807. " We are every hour afraid of a rupture between the English and Chinese, in conse- quence of the death of a Chinese, from the- accidental sti'oka of a cltib, by an English sailor. " The Cfiinesv demanded an Englishman to die, conformable to the laws of their country, and the English have refused, being unable to find out the person who gave the blow. In consequence, the vice-roy of this province gave orders yesterday to stop then- trade, and, in all probability, the next -step will be to intercept their supplies, and s;eise on some person of the factory ; a circum- stance which must produce the most serionS' consequences. " I understand the English have no objec- tion to giving up a man, provided they could find the guilty person ; and surely they can- not be blar.ied for spurning at the idea of making an innocent man suffer. God only knows how it will end ! They are allowed three days more to decide, and if then tlu-y do not comply, it is thought the Chinese) , will, endeavor to compel them ; should they be foolish enough to attempt the latter plan, I think they will get a sound drubbing, as the English now have a force at Wham- poo and Bocca Tigris, of near 2000 able bo- died men, and all eager for the attack." Without adverting to the consequences which may result to the persons and proper- ty of the British subjects in China, or to the intercourse of the two nations, from this occurrence—we may be permited to. exult in the superior justice of those institu- tions, by which, punishment is limited to the guilty, and the innocent are exempted from Jhe rigor of retaliation. And, we may be allowed to hope, that the contracts of moderation on the part of the American go- vernment and people, under national and j individual wrongs, of the most aggravated I nature, will not be lost on the Btitish na- tion, but, that a reparation proportioned to the outrage and indignity, according to the most correct construction of criminal law^ and the practice of civilized nations, wilt be instantly accorded to expiate offences, which, a less enlightened or more'vengeful policy, than that of our country, would have atoned by the blood of thousands. Tlte accounts of these occurrences in the eastern and western hemispheres, will be received in England afrour.t the «me time—*• and will furnish ample' ground for public reflection, on the ¦ necessity of checking'e*.. cesses—which, if persisted in, ranst place her in enmity with the whole woild, and eveiiWatc io'thc- ov.s;tJjEovrJ?f" her«m£ii !
