A PROCLAMATION.
BY
WM. C. C. CLAIBORNE,
Governor of the state of Louisiana and
Commander in Chief of the Militia there- :
of.
Wiergas I have received information
that a number of the individuals within the
limits and jurisdiction of this state, are en-
caged in raising troops and preparing the
means fora hostile incursion inte the Span-
ish province of Texas, with a view of aid-
ing in the overthrow of the government of
Spain in and over the said proyince—And
whereas, by letters from the Hon. Secreta-
ry of state for the United States, under date
of the 14th and 17th of February I
am specially instructed that the ‘projects
imputed to the individuals aforesaid, are
« yepugnent to the views of the general
government and contrary to law; and that
whilst the United States shall be at peace
with Spain, it is highly improper for any
citizen to vielate that relation ; and that the
President expects the governor of Louisi-
ana to take the necessary and proper steps
to prevent any measure of the kind being
carried into effect.”
1 have thought proper to issue this my
proclamation, hereby cautioning each and ©
every good citizen of this state and all other
persons within the limits and jurisdiction of
the same, against being concerned, or in a-
ny manner giving aid or countenance to any
such unauthorised expedition, and that no
one may remain ignorant of the provisiong
of the law in this respect, I do hereby make
it known, that by anact of Congress passed
on the 5th day of June, in the year 1794 it
is declared, « That if any person shall with-
in the territory or jurisdiction of the United
“States begin or set on foot, or provide or pre-
pare the means for any military expedition |
or enterprize, to be carried on from thence
against the territory or dominions of any fo-
reign prince or state with whom the United
States are at peaee, every such person so
offending shall on conviction, be adjudged
guilty of high misdemeanor, & shall suffer a
fine and imprisonment at the discretionofthe
court in which the conviction shall be had, so
that such fine shall not exceed three thou-
sand dollars, nov the term of imprisonment
be ‘nore than three years.”
od I do further charge “and strictly
command every officer civil and military
within this state, each in his proper station,
to be vigalent and’active. in opposing and
pre venting measures so contrary to the laws
and so hazardous to the peace and tranguil-
ity ot this and the other states of the union;
and in securing and bringing to trial, judg-
ment and punishment cvery person offend.

In testimoney hereof, I have caused the

troops in it have been called home,
We are much pleased to lear that the
military conduct, combining skill. and cou-
rage of Gen. Jackson, of the Tenesce mili-
tia, has attracted the attention of the execu-
tive. General Jackson is appointed a brig-
adier General in the army of the United
States, and by brevet has the honorary rank
of Major General. This appointment we
doubt not, will meet. the general approba-
tion of the public. ;
i It iy rumored that Major-General Harri-
n has resigned his commission in the
army. We have not been able to #scertain
whether the resignation is accepted; though
we incline to think it has been tendered.

of announcing to the troops of his division
that the detachment under the command
of lieutenant colonel Mitchell of the corps
of Artillery, have by their gallant and high-
ly military conduct on the 5th and 6th inst
gained a name in arms Worthy of the nation
they serye and the cause they support. For
nearly two days they mamtained an unca-
qual contest against ten times their own
numbers, and but yielded their post when
the terest of their country made that mea-
sure necessary.
The companies composing this gallant
detachment were Boyle’s Romayne’s, M’In-
tires, and Pierce’s of the heavy artillery,

PITTSBURG, MAY 25 1814.
Disgraceful termination of the expedition
to Long Point.
In our last we mentioned that an attack
on Long Point, or Dover, was in contempla-
tion, by the American forces stationed at
Erie. - We now publish the disgraceful and
unmanly termination of that expedition.
This paper has uniformly been the advo-
cate of a fair, open, and honerable wat: be-
lieving that the causes are abundantly suffi-
cient to justify the American government
in appealing to the last resort of nations—

children 3; where the ni itary are suffered
to become, not the honorable and proud de-
fenders of their country’s rights, but miser-
able incendiaries for the burning and des”
struction of private property! the demerit
of such actions ought to rest only with our:
enemies ; and if the American troops, have
in the present instance, been guilty of such
lawless conduct, let the public indignation’
fall on the heads of thosg who hdd the man-
agement of the expedition. "
Our advises from Erie are to the 2Cth of
May. ‘The expedition to Long Point, had
been executed, and the troops had returned
to Erie. They consisted of 300 regulars
under colonel Campbell, and abotit 600 iH
litia under colonel Fenton. Colonel Fenton
the superior officer, relinquished the com:
mand to colonel Campbell. They met with |
no opposition, there being none but women’
and children in the town. The men had re-
tired to 4 place where there was some pub-
lic property deposited, - Our troops paid fio
respect to either public or private property;
but burnt and piundered all they cane a-
cross and then returned to Frie in safety !
—The excuses offered for this wonderful
display of heroism, are, that the town con-
tained a character who during the revolu-
tionwas a TORY; and that many of the
inhabitants belonged to the army as was
proved from the regimentals found tn the
houses ! on such paltry excuses as these,
have they done an act over which humani-
ty weeps, and which all feeling and honora-
ble minds must forever deplore. Anos
ther account states that there were but
a few houses burnt; but the act is equally
indefensible, ia

The Burlington Sentinel states that the
whole army is to be consolidated into fifteefs
regiments, and that the supernumerary of
ficers, to the number of at least 1500, are to
be discharged from the service.

IMPORTANT !—Ir TRUE!
The Brig Regent, capt.————; consign-
ed t). Palmer and Hamilton, merchants in
Nantz, while down the river Loire, oppo
site a place called Menden, and two days
before putting to sea, received on board a
French officer of the customs, who commau-
nicated the official Bulletin of the trivm-
phant Entry of Napeleon into Paris at the
head of 200,000men. dia
This bulletin was read in presence of the
whole crew and translated into English for
several of them. Since their sailing from the
Loire, the captain forbade the crew men-
tioning that circnmstance in America; lest
it should be detrimental to the cargo. The
crew obeyed the injunction as long as their
wages were not paid off, butnow they have
been paid, have revealed that sitcumstanee.
