Towards the close of 1813, the whole of the New England States presented a united front in opposition to the national administration and the war. Thuch did they do so that upon each loan after 1812 a ruinous bonus was paid. On a loan of $16,000,000, at the beginning of 1813, the lender received a bonus of about $2,000,000. In March, 1814, the darkest period of the war, a loan of $25,000,000 w

Admiral Cochrane, who succeeded Admiral Warren in command on the American Station, issued a proclamation, dated at Bermuda, the rendezvous of the more southern blockading fleet, April 2, 1813. It was addressed to slaves under the denomination of persons desirous to emigrate from the United States.
