The London Courier of June 13, con-
tains the following ; " It appeared by tus
entry in. the books at Lloyd's on Thursday
morning, that of fifty-two ships which had
arrived, forty-seven were American, and
only floe British ! ! We notice this cir-
cumstance, in the hope, that the public at-
tention will still be directed to the resump-
tion of the navigation and colonial system,
as the only means by which this country
can maintain its maratime superiority, and
afford relief anden--« lragement to the West
India shipping interests."

WAR DEPARTMENT,
August 3, 1807.
H':s Excellency the governor of the Stale of
Maryland. .
Sir.
I am directed by the president of the U.
States to urge on the governors of the res-
pective states, the importance of encourag-
ing, by all means they possess, such volun-
teer associations as are contemplated and au-
thorised by thill undoubtedly,
ill the event of a war, stand on high
ground as candidates for officer* in the regu-
lar army, w heiuvcr such an army shall be
considered necessary. And from the well
known military ardor --ihich pervades all
ail parts of our country, there can be no
doubt of the readiness of a sufficient number
ol out spirited citizens to offer their services
... to their country at the present time.
1 have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Your excellency's obd't servant,
(Signed) H. DEARBORN.

WEST—THE PAINTER.
In a late London paper is an account of
the exhibitions of the Royal Academy, for
1807, we observe the f llowing remark—
" The President, (Mr. West) maintains his
rank as trie mot'iur,
Esquire, were'exhibited. The price of this
work, when completed, will be six, or, with
proof impressions of the plates, 8 guineas.
It is sanctioned by Earl Nelson, the brother
of the late admiral, and is patronised by the
Prince of Wales, and most persons of dis-
tinction in the United Kingdom. The sub-
jects executed are as follows, viz.
1. By Mr Westall.— When Nelson was
second lieutenant of the Loweston frigate,
captain Locker (in the year 1777) an Ame-
rican letter of marque was captured during
a strong gale of wind and a heavy sea.—
The lirst lieutenant was ordered to board bur,
but declared it impracticable. The captain
exclaimed, " Have I no officer who can board
the prize I" The master volunteered to go,
but Nelson stepped off the gang-way, into
the boat, saying to the master, " it is my
turn this, time ; if I come back, it will be.
yours."
2. By Mr. Westall.—Commodore Nelson,
when in the Captain, of 74 guns, R. W.
Miller, Esquire, commander, in the action
off Cape St. Vincents, Feb. 14 1797, receiv-
ing the sword of the dying Spuiish com-
modore, after having boarded theSan'Nicolas,
of 80 guns, followed by lieut. (now sir Ed-
ward) Berry, and capfain Pearson, of the
69th regiment. At this instant, a fire of
muskets and pistols opening from the Spa-
nish admiral's stern-galley of the San Joseph,
of 113 guns^ commodore Nelson directed his
people to fire into the stern, and to board
her also, which was done in an instant, and
I he got in himself by lieut. Berry assisting
; him into the main-chains ; and (in Nelson's
own words) " thus fell these ships."
I 3. By Mr. Westall.-Rear-admiral Nelson,
i when in his barge, with his usual compliment
of ten men, aud the coxswain, John Sykes,
¦ accompanied by captain Preemantle, during
the blockade of Cadiz, July 3, 1797, were
attacked by the commander of the Spanish
gunboats, Don Miguel Tyrason, in a launch
rowed by 26 oars, having 30 men, including
officers. In this severe conflict, captain
Fieemamli nobly supported the rear-aoiiiit, 1.
' and, as Nelson says, in his.own words,
¦ " this was a service hand to hand, in which
I my coxswain, John Sykes, saved twice my
: 1 fe. Eighteen of the Spaniards being kill, d
and several Wounded, we succeeded w taking
j their commander.''
j 4. By Mr. Westall. Rear admiral sir Ho-
1 ratio Nelson, ir, the act of landing at the
I Mole of Teneriffe, in July, 1797, danger-
ously wounded in his right arm, (whicu
j was afterwards amputated , &c.
5. B'y Mr. P.cock. The British sqna-
I dron, commanded by rear-admiral sir. H,
1 Nelson. K. B. taking their station, previ
I ous to their attack on that of the French, in
-'Nboukir Bay; on the evening of ¦ •ugust 1,
1798. Tlie French squadron, under admi-
ral De Bruix, moored with their sides to-
wards the sea ; file L'Orient in the centre.
Tne British squadron in full sail, are steer-
ing for the centre of the enemy, and haul-
ing up in succession to their stations ; at a
distance is seen the Cusltoden aground,
•with the Mutine brig at anchor near her, as
sisunir. in the endeavors to get her off.
6. By Mr. Pocock. The city of ' open-
hagen, taken from the souih east, with toe
Danish line of defence, crown batteries, &c.
at the commencement of the attack upon
them by the British squadron, under thi
command of vice-admiral lord Nelson, on
the 2d of April, 18OI The British squa-
dron anchored by the stern, the Desiree
frigate raking the enemy's van ship, a three
decker ; the Russell and Bellona aground,
bvt firing at the enemy through the intervals
of the line. &c. &c.
7 ¦' By Mr. Pocock—-The situation of
the British fleet, commanded by vice-admi-
ral lrd Nelson, and that of the combined
fleets of France and Spain-, at the close of
the battle of Trafalgar, 0ctuber2ist, 1803.
In this view, taken from the south-east, the
French rear-admiral Dumanoir's division is
in the distance, with all sail set, on a wind,
standing to the southward ; the Minotaur
and Spartiate endeavored to prevent his es-
cape, and cut off his rear ship. The victo-
ry and Royal George are in the centre ; the
St Trmidad, Bucentaur, St. Anna, &c.
dismasted and surrounded ; on the left
L Achille on fire ; the Pick!e schooner and
others lying to, near her, to rendei her as-
sistance ; on the right the enemy making-
sail to leeward ; the British in chase
and engaging them ; the Redoubtable and
Fogeaux on board the Temtraire, to which
ship they surrender. In the fore ground,
dismasted and disabled ships, with their
prizes, towing clear of each other.
8. By Mr. West.—The immortality of
Nelson. The leading paint in the picture
represents Victory presenting the dead body
of the hero to Brilannia, after the battle of
Trafalgar, which is received from the arms
of Neptune, with the trident of his do-
minions. Britannia sits in shaded rrloom,
as expressive of that deep regret which over-
whelmed the United Kingdom at the loss
of so distinguished a character. In the
other parts of this picture are seen the con-
comitant events of his life, and the sons
and daughters of the union preparing the
mournful sable to his memory. The wing-
ed boys round his body are figurative that
the influence of his genius still exists.

From Newltiryport.
The following is a copy of his Britannic
majesty's decree, which was written on the
back of tlie register of the ship Amsterdam -
Packet, as she was leaving Amsterdam for
Bordeaux, in ballast, by an officer of one of
his majesty's ships of war off the Texcl :
At the court of St. James's, 1th January, i8Q7,
and the 47th year of our reign.
Our will and pleasure is, that no vessel
shall be permitted to trade from one port to
another, both which ports belonging to' or.
being in possession of Fiance or their allies,
or .shall be so far under their controul'that
British ships may not freely' tirade thereat.
You are hereby ordered to warn every teea-

of the caresses or menaces of any of them.
At no time has tlie necessity of equal re-
presentation been more required than at
the present moment ; every cl-ss of citizens
are deeply interested in the decision of the
question ; none can now say ¦< It makes no
matter with me how congress vote," for
their vote on the present occasion embraces
the interest of'every familyin the. union; whef
therthe heads of that family be professional
men, merchants, farmers or mechanics.
And of these four characters none have
been more remiss in seeking proper represen-
tation than the Merchant : engaged in the
more active puruits of commerce they have
troubled themselves tar too little with these
things, leaving it to their fellow citizens;
who, tho' they may act from the best of
ra fives keeping in view the interest of
all classes, yet, for want of proper mercan-
tile information they may sometimes be
lead into errors which affect the mer-
chant, and „ ith him the general interest;
for however there has been manifested by
some men a disp sition to separate the in-
terest of the farmer and mercnant, as it res-
pects the political relations of the two, yet
it is a fact too stubborn to be denied, that
if the interest of the merchant is affected,
the whole nation must suffer in a greater or
lesser degree. Was it not for them how in
the name of things could the immense
produce of our country be vended and
brought, into activity ? Were we to depend
upon home cojTHnnptJon, our ware-hou;e>
would soon be masses of corruption andou*
farms fields of thistles---from them the go
vernmeilt receives its support, by collecting
from them rts imposts ; and though it is ac
knowledged that the consumer eventually
pays the duty, yet it is often advanced by the
merchant long before the consumer unties
his purse strings. '
And was it not for the imposts layed on
the enferpuze of the merchants, this duty
must come from the people in a way not s»
pleasant: say either 111 excise, poll, or land
taxes : for government must be supported.
By this it is not designed to arrogate any ex-
traordinary priviledge on the part of the
merchant ; he is but a link of the same
chain : which cannot hold together without
all its parts. The cultivatorof the soil, the
professional man, the mechanic and the
merchant, are brethren, dependent on the
kind offices of each other.
If a merchant is sent to congress, ffe
ought to know more than the theory of
commerce : he should be a man who is ac-
tively engaged in trade and who by his good
standing for years, should evince that he is
a man of sterling integrity, not to be su-
duced into a false measure for the sake of
individual advantage, or to gratify the views
of any party, ^nd in afi the selections
that are nude for the important office from
the various classes of citizeas, happy would
it be lor .vmerica, if real worth and profound
talents were sought for in place of men of
name and party It is to be feared that that
office has been often filled by men more fond
of a display of parliamentary eloquence ;
than of searching with anxious solicitude in--
to the real interests of their country. It
has been a query with some, whether we
should not be better cff. had we no external
trade ; they have been pleasing themselves
with fine spun theories of simplicity of man-
ners, linsy garments. &c. There aie indeed,
many things that k>< k very pretty on pa
per ; but which are sure to be blotted when
real life takes liold ot the sheet. To make
Spaitans of us it will be necessary first to
give us a Spartan birth and education.
