VJ11G1N1A A11GU8. RICHMOND : MONDAY, July 5,1313. Extract of a letter from a respectable character »7« Williamsburg, to a citizen of this place. da. ted July 3, 1813. “ Until the last nigh', I have not since the a*_ tack on Hampton, taken off my clothes.-2 think now there is no doubt that the object of the enemy’s expedition has been 'oget water. They have a stout brig, ftlie only vessel of any sine above, or even as high as Mulberry Island on yesterday—Above Swann’s Point and below the mouth of Chick ihomony, several vessels small schooners, of the look and size of Hump, ton Pilot Boats, and llargcB, are certainly pas sing up and down—l have been on the river e very day since they have been up, sa that 1 have seen much of their movements, and I am now convinced 'hat their main object is water. Yoh will readily believe that a disposi ion to get fresh provisions, lias not been wanting ; so far us in our neigli-orhood they have not suc ceeded much.

Wc have forwsdod *o our poor fellows in York, 95 shirts, it pair of pantaloons and one vest ; and we slmll send them a further supply in a few days.” • I The federal doctrine concerning the right of resisting the general government in the present war, is, in some instances, carried to the most ludicrous lengths. The captain of a company of N. Y. militia in lately ordering his men to preparii for actual service, in obedience to a su perior order, introduced his written commands with a protest against the justness of the war, anil a declaration of the right ofliis men to re sist it! This captain’s name is said to be Haw* ley. lie lias been very properly arrested for trial, and, we hope, for punishment.-This Hawley must be a fellow after Jojiah Quincy’s own heart. The laws of the country are nothing to such sterling patriots. If you would give ear to them, the only true line of conduct for a good citizen is a course of insurrectional obe | dicnce. servation that at ccn driven samler pro" France. This is s incited to conti The poetical gentlemen who edit the tory paper at Georgetown, in the District of Colum bia, harp very much upon a festival which oc* curred lately at Baltimore in honor of the war. They think it quite shocking that any body should celebrate a declaration of war ; forget ting, we prc»um\ their own recent carousal in honor of Russian victories The war in which we are engaged, we do not hesitate to say, is a much more holy one than that carried on by Kussis. Iler’s, at best, is a contest for F.nglisl monopoly. It is worthy of no moment since the Fr out of Russia has tl posed peece, on any terms, a very strong proof that h nue the war for interests beyond his own : in o* tlier words, for British interests. But this could not last long, even if Russia continued to succeed, it could not continue, because, British cupidity would soon appear so manifest that the Russians, like all the previous allies of Engird, and like Russia herself on former I oecasio'Bp would become disgusted, and I frame a separate pacification. It is only in the j licv dey of success that Russia is blinded ; and she has been for the moment, so completely j filmed, that mistaking a march for a conquest, she has forgot to reconcile her practice with her declarations.-Our war, tlten, being for personal freedom is more holy, more sacred, than that of Russia; and therefore, if it ia no sin to celebrate the one, it can be no sin to ce lebrate the other. As to the argument drawn from the miseries of war being too afflicting for a special re joicing, it shows a want of discrimi* nation. We refer the critics to Lord Kaimcs where they will fi^k that a thing may he un pitot ant and yet tgreeabjf. It may be a greeable to reaton Unpleasant to th’ feelingt. Just as when a man punishes another for insulting him ; It ffcmpleasant to be enga* ged in a quarrel; but it is agreeable to reflect and to rejoice at the reflection, that the person insulted resented the affront with becoming spirit.

And every volunteer sufifier to receive, be sides land, a just dividend of. the aggregate of the military tax' instead^ of a botm ty, us should have amiuallr accumu lated from the time a man enteWd the ser vice till he was di&hattax to be increased or di.Ainistic'^QpQ^ngre.ss, if proper, according as the nu mber sent tr take tile field as soldiers was deficient or excessive,so as to he a regulato^if our mil itary force ; and to give every man Iii-> choice whether he would pay and stay at home, or go and receive pay. This tone the substi tute for militia drafts and enlisting. This would leave at home in general the useful I part of society and convert the useless part to the necessary purpose of vindicating the ] rights of our country. Uy this plan we should immediately have an adequate army, for thousands would go th.u never would en list ; the great expense and fatal delay of enlisting should he done awav, and the sol diers would be well paid ar.dVi the close of the war discharged to hnmiy^competence.
