the employment or Steam boats for purpo ses of public defence in harbors and waters of the United States. The following is a do py of a certificate from some of our most dis tinguished naval officers, which is so expli cit in dtscription and so conclusive in the judgment given on it, that no remarks of ours are necessary and could not add to the weight of the opinions given. We hope it will meet that attention where it should, to which its importance entitles it. Aurora. We, the undesigned, have this day exam ined the model and plans of a vessel of war, submitted to us by Robert Fulton, to carry twenty four guns, twenty four or thirty two pounders, and use hot shot, to be propelled my steam at the speed of from four to five miles an hour, without the aid of wind or tide. The properties of which vessel are: That without masts or sails, she can move with-sufficient speed—That her machinery being guarded, she cannct be crippled— That her sides are as thick as to be impen etrable to every kind of shot—A nd in a calm, or light breeze, she eau take choice of posi tion or its distance from an enemy. Con sidering the speed which the appticui iou of steam has already given to heavy floating bodies, we have full confidence, that should such a vessel move only four tniles an hour, she could under the favorable circumstances which may always be gained over the ene my’s vessels in our port9, harbors, bay sand sounds,,be rendered more formidable to.an enetnv than any kind of engine hitherto in vented. And in such Case she would' be e qual to the destruction of one or more se venty-fours, or of compelling it or them to depart from our waters. Wc therefore, give it as our decided opinion that it is among the best intere^s of the United States to carry this into immediate execution. FTjetr^LoitDoif, Jan. 3,1614. ted) STEPHEN DECATUR, Ja.

Jan. 19, 1814? 3 Dkau Father,— For the two last days tvt have been all anxiety; an American cap* tain returned on parole from the Ham'diett, r4, a few davs since, and communicated to commodore Decatur, h conversation he had with captain Hardy, in which the latter said “ that now that two frigate*! were off, of e qual force to the United States and Mace' donian, that he should have no objection to a meeting takmg place, but that he could not allow the challenge to come from the Kn g!ish commanders.’* The hint was embrac ed in a moment, and capt. Biddle dispatch** ed with a challenge from our commanders In the mean time every preparation was made, on our side, for an immediate engage ment, which we all supposed no objection could be made to ; the crew of both ships were called together, and addressed, by their commanders, who made known to them the substance of the business then on foot; they were answered by three hearty cheers. Captain Jones concluded his short & per tinent address in the following words spo ken with great modesty, “My lads, our cruize will be short, and I trust, a very pro fitable one.” Captain Biddle went on board the 74, a signal was immediately made fnr the two commanders of the English frigates, and they went oo board Captain Hardy addressed them, “ Gentlemen, here are two letters for you, it rests altogether with you to decide on the matter.” Stackpole of the Statira, answered with the greatest affecta tion*-” pon honor, sir, if is the most accep table letter I ever received.” The final an swer was to be given yesterday. Capt. Bid die returned, and t-elatud the circumstance as I havetswtwMd For myself, I thought from the manner of Stackpole thnt he would be the first to flinch I am not able to say that he did, it is enough, the captain qf the Borer (sU.op of war) came in yesterday and made known that they had declined meeting us—This circumstance has made a vast deal of conversation here, much to the credit of oar commanders ; :t will probably be distorted into a hundred different shapes before It Is done with, I have therefore given you a correct though brief account of it.

Mr. Fisk of Vt. proceeded to r.-mark on the morality of the positiwn and explained that it was from the F.nglish orders in coun cil that the embargo sprung, and that if the gentleman was so stupid in his conception as not to have discovered this, he was not at all surprised at the productions he had gi ven birth to.

VIRGINIA ARGUS. 11 I n H \f Q N D : .von n.ir J.iA'u.i nr w, im. aj* It is with derp regret the Editor of this P.«per has understood, that " the Dream” I ub 1 ishc*«l in the lust Argus, has given olTence to many of his friends in the Ueneral Assemb y. The high respect the Editor has always felt for that Body, whose political sentiments are well known to be the same with his own, (as the | manner in which the Argus has always been conducted sufficiently proves) together with | his sincere gratitude (or the favors it has con* [ferred u|>on him, are sufficient pledges, that he could not have intended to insult, or hurt the feelings of any of its .Members. He solemnly declares, that the piece in question, was insert c<l for the purpose of general moral instruc tion, and did not contain as he thought, either personality or slander y which are ever excluded from the columns of this paper) and without the least supposition of its having any improp er tendency. The character of the gentleman who wrote \t gives additional weight to this impression. The Editor hopes, therefore, that the pursty of his motives will be duly appre ciated ; and that those who have considered him as capable of ingratitude, and malicious satire on the Legislature will acquit him of the charge. The news from Europe is I! calculated to awaken reflection. The artificial power of Prance has disappeared, for an instant, beneath the abilities and the superior means of Berna dotte,crown pince of Sweden, himself a French man, and one of the children of the French revolntion. But the real strength of France remains. t Her science, her litt-r.i»iire, her im mense population, her vast Wealth, the military ardor of her people, are still undiminished — Those who conceive that she is ruined, or that her chief is prostrate, are entirely mistaken — lie still holds his position on the Elbe; and Da voust, with *t large arm), still occupies a con siderable portion of the country beyond it. A new conrcrtption, of from three to four hundred thousand men, will make the allies feel the precariousncss ofthei** condition. These allies, united, in the first matance by a factious inte rest, have, in truth, very different views, ami the moment of victory is, to litem, a moment of the greatest peril. Great Britain herself, who, with her money, cemented this coalition, will, by her cupidity, break it to pieces. In the first hours of conquest she will pr ss her claim of commercial monopoly, disgust her associates and create a r. pulsion that will disorganize them. The defection of Bavaria ooetts new scenes and a new policy for France. We ought never to forget th t the king of Bavnria, unde the Austrian supremacy, means nothing more ban an elector—Will Austria assure to him, in the resumption of the imperial dignity, hi, n< w title of royalty? M^v not Napoleon give up the interests of so treacherous a prince, and coalese with Austria, on condition of the latter's relinquishing the friendship gf the allies, to crush him 1 \Vc ag in warn the public again t t o hasty conclusions. The facility with which princes vary their connexions, ought to admo nish us not to confide in a supposed adherence of the allies to each other. The busts of‘heir union is money—and Uiat money is altogether a paper curiciicy, Why do the malignant spirits of opposition denounce Mr. Ingerso 1 ? Because he is aris ing genius. They ervv him. The dignity, the logic, the learning, the moder.dion of Mr In gcrsoll, are calculated to inspire a respect for him among good men, and promise him a pro gress In politics and in socie y, which neither the low cunning of the Fed< nil Uepublicar., nor the studied invention of the honorable Mr. Stockton can impede. The Federalists have been very animated i gainst Napoleon on a former prospect of his establishing a universal dominion. They have been long crying out for .vrestoration of the balance cj povner on the continent of Europe.— Now, as they all* dge that Bonaparte's influ ence is at an end, had they' not better be a lit tle more consistent in their hatred of universal don in ion, anil employ themse ves in an effort to restore the balance of [’truer on the ocean ? The on*y difficulty ts, that such a course of conduct would touch the inte,e*te of Great Britain— which is a delicate point with the federalists. The stories in circulation concerning a differ ence between Bonaparte and the Frcncii Senate, &c- is wholly untrue. A friend, who has seen a Paris paper of Nov. 15, assures us that the Senate, in an address to the emperor, spoke of him in terms of admiration anil in a spirit of the greatest cordiality—to which he replied with energy, and like a philosopher, bui brief ly, ami signify lug that France, under such try* log circumstances, would be true to hersetf and to posti rity.
