SIR,
Nor/elk, June 27, 1807.
The recent outrage committed on the
national honor, and the rights of humanity,
has excited those feelings of indignation
which arouse the spirit of freemen, and urge
their efforts for tiie service of their .country.
Under these impressions, the inclosed reso,
lations have been adopted,and it is now trans
.mined to you in conformity to the wish and
MistmctipB of the meeting, at which I have
the honor to preside.
With the most perfect respect,
I am your most obedient,
.JAMES TUCKER, Chairman.
To the musters and otfar tfficerS sailing fa
arid"fi-oni the ports of Norfolk and Ports-
mouth.
The tender of your services for the erec-
tion or reparation of Fort Norfolk and works
on Crany island, .and for n anrt'mg the gun-
boats and other ves.'-e' waters of E-
hz.)bcth and Jam eceivjr} with
great satisfaction. They are the more im-
portant in proportion'as we have much to
do in the least time pcs.;ible. Knowing
their peculiar value for manning and ma-
naging the gun-boats and other vessels,
it is in that direction I am in hopes they will
have been applied, and that the necessary
aid for erecting or repaiiing works on the
land will have been found in the zeal of o-
ther citizens, less qualified to be useful in
the employments on the water. I return for
your country, the thanks you so ju'tly de-
serve.

Principles of MARATWE LAW,
Translated from the French ibr the Federal
Gazette.
Our readers, knowing that we give only
extracts fr¦ day of February, 1807, en
1 itled " An act authorising the president oi
the United States to accept the services of
a number of volunteer companies, not ex-
ceeding thirty thousand meit," will be con
-.idered a.^ a part of the aforesaid quota ot
live thousand eight hundred and sixty-three,
according to their number. Aid from the
well known patriotism of our fellew-citizens,
it must be presumed, that under the existing
circumstances of our country, a large porti
on of the quotas of the several states will
be composed of such volunteer corps, espe-
cially as they will undoubtedly meet with
every encouragement from your excellency,
and from all other patriotic influential cha-
racters.
Whenflhe detachment and organization
shall have been effected, the respective corps
will be exercised under the officers set over
them, but will not remain embodied, or be
considered as in actual service, until, by sub-
sequent orders, they shall be directed to take
the held.
Your excellency will please to direct, that
correct muster rolls and inspection returns
be made of the several .corps, and that copies
thereof be transmitted to this department as
early as possible.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Your Excellency's
Obedient servant,

Hints to Volunteer Cavalry.
In actual service it has been found by
long experience, that the horse and his rider
sh-uiid be considered and treated as one
component kind of animal, whose unity of
power arid action alone can be ellective ;
hence the necessity of cherishing a mutual
attachment between the parties, and of teach-
ing this noble and docile animal to love,
honor and obey his master.
To drive full gallop off the parade thro'
muddy streets or roads; to call Jack, Sam,
or Cumbo, (which first heaves hi sight,) to
take off the saddle, thr. w the bridle in the
dirt, break the girts, replace a lost buckle
with a rope-yarn turn Surrel into a bare
lot, without either corn, fodder or water,
and let negro Bob give him a little more
street disctpline, when stiffened with sweat
. and dust, is not the vay however to secure
his attachment or generous service, althoiigti
it may happen to be a peculiar practice in a
.country, fraught with peculiar privileges.
In the rev. lutionary %eai (respectfully re-
membered) the Randolphs Caiters, Brax-
tons, Diggeses, and many, other young vo-
lunteers of the first respectability, discharg-
ed their spare horses and servants, learnt the
use of a stable jacket, halter, brush and cm
ry-comb, and were more highly esteemed
by their, friends and their country for their
condescension. Such is no» the case in
the volunteer cavalry of England a corps
unequalled in point of wealth and disci-
pline, where private soldiers of many thou-
sand pounds sterling per arinuin, have tho't
it honorable t do the duty of common troop-
ers tor many successive years.
Let it not be said, then, that the pi cquet
is the only effectual means of making it
known in America, that every soldier should
curry and clean his own horse, lead him to
water in his halter, and never put him be-
yond a brisk walk till actual service requires
it. An Old Soldier of'ib.
It is stated that " Douglas had sent a let-
ter to the mayor of Noifoik; wnieh was im
mediately returned unsealed ; this was suc-
ceeded by a message from the British com-
modore, importing that ¦" He inteneded to
send a boat on shore for fresh provisions,
and that if the crew was molested, or pre-
vented from procuring them, he should con-
sider such measure as an act of hostility."
It was in consequence of this, that general
Mathews called into actual service the £4th
regiment of Virginia militia, with the artil-
lery and cavalry attached to it. The gen.
bad taken the necessary steps authorised by
law, to put Douglas in possession of a;he
president's proclamation and to demand of
him to retire from our waters, agreeably to
the laws of the United States.
" Decatur was at the same time prepared
with 8 gun boats, to try the effect of a float
ing baitery of 8 32 pounders in a dead calm
and a strong current, against the wooden
walls of old England, however highly gar-
nished with men and arms."
