[remem ler, when L wasa bag there were o: ly twenty orth erty houses io the town, and [ ased to be afrall of toe beare, while pasving net far from where we ire assembled, There was then no olacement t0 @anse privateers to enter t\))s harbor, for if they did come, [ doubt if thy nave gotten £1(}). Since the |«st war with the United States, the great town: of Newburyport, Gloucester and Marble Meal have grown up aud are posses~ed of millions of \, ars, And low? From the resoarces of our shores. The inhabitants of those towns, know our coasts, ite towne and our [sland well. [+ it ukely for one momeut, if a war breaks out | between the British Goveromeat and the Unitet| States, that we will be left alone? Do yous think that the men who built up such towns! will have Jost their energy or enterprise? Wall they remain quiet? Before itis published in the! Royal Gazette that war is declared, the wri. | vateers will be ready to step on board. One or| two veewels, anchoring in the three tides, would send « flag of truce, demaud from the Mayor a. contribution of fifty or one bundred thousand dollars, and if refused, would seize any vessels | in the harbor, press the truckmen, and in six! bours could load from ten to twenty thousand pounds worth fromthe stores in the city. Our) merehapts ougist well to cousider this. If we are! weil prepared to defend our position,our brethren | will pause before they come iuto our harbor’s mouth. With a few guns well mounted, and bre hundrel men to meet the enemy in the towa, I'll answer, none of their privateers will wiewpt alanding. It has been observed that werely two or three privateers will uot be sent by the Caited Staves —that they will send more. I will stake my reputation for sagseity and pru dence, thatthe United States will never send an | arwy or weavy vessels to take this Island. All! they coull get would wot pay for one week's | expense cf such @ furce. No, privateers and their marauling craft are what we have to de feu! ourselves against. [ regret our mereantile frends in thit community, do not appear to sev the necessity of assisting as in our pre-e ewleavours.

Staples’ New Pens-—Mr. 8. I’. Staples bar | recextly invented another description ef pen | which we take great pleasure in recouunending | to the public. Tt isa phiin circular potated pen, with a sineothly-reunded point. It is made entirely of eteel, and unlike most pene, it is very | durable, and will stand any amount of hard | usuage, without materiaily damaging it. Mr. | Staples ia indefatigable in hie exertions to sup- , ply the facilities to enaure a thorough syeteus | jof penmanship among our people, and we trust | } that his excellent copy beoks, which are autho- | i rized by the Connei! of Publre Tnstruction, and | | his good pen will be exteasively used throughout | the Provinee.
