UNITED STATES.
‘In a newspaper, under the name of the
Deniocratic Press, printed in Philadelphia,
there appeared on the 11th inst. the follow-
ing publication, viz.
« We have information upon such au-
« thotity as leaving tus no room to doubt
« the fact, that, at a late Yearly Meeting of
& Friends Society in this city, in the ad-
« dress then adopted as their address to the
« Friends Society of Great Britain, there
« was, in substance, the following declara-
tions and prayer :”

“ND
« We are in principle opposed fo aud de-
plore the war in which the United States
are engaged with the United Kingdoms. —
We will do all in our power to withhold
from the government of the United Statics
the means of carrying iton: We will not
¢ither directly or indirectly, contribute any
money or other thisgs which is to be appit-
ed to the support of the war : acting under,
these principles, and adhern to this can
duct, we humbly hope and trust that if his
majesty’s troops shall get possession of any
portion of the United States within which
Triends may reside, their persons and prop
erties will be held sacred, and not injured
or destroyed.” «We wish it to be distnet-
ly understood, that we make this mforma-
tion public frum a sense of duty to the gov-
ernment and cotntiy If the "address be
not holding of ircasonabie correspondence,
or a giving of aid and comfort to the enemy,
then we are mistaken in import of words;
and If it be of this character, then ought it
to be inquired after, and its authors prosc-
cuted
The nature of thg publication 1s such, as
to place it on differcit cround from other
calumnies ; it 1s not the sentiment or opin-
jon of an individual vespectibg the people
whom it charges with so igh a crime, but
purports to be a quotation of the substance
of their own languagein a collective capn-
¢ity 3and calls on the proper authority
to notice the subject, and bring to mer-
ited ‘punishment the perpetrators of ‘a
crime against the “nation of - which they

An express “mothent arrived
from the mon ole Potomac to the gov
ernment with the following information.
A number of ships consisting of 74's frig-
ates and transports arrived in the Bay on
the night of the 2d,and yesterday mornings
full of troops, entered thie Pdtemac and the
74’s anchored justfabove its mouth: ‘The
frigates and transports pushed up, The ex:
press says that this is considered as the ads
vance of Lord Hill's Army If so, the en-
trance of the Potomace is only a feint to
draw the militia encamped at Snowden’s to
the Potomac, while the guard cxpeditioy
should dash from the bay up to Baltimore
If this is a force alone ‘and not an advance,
then it, probably means Alcxandiia and
Washington.
