other three have been seized on my demand. I
was placed in the most embarrassing situation of
my whole life. 1 feared (and many others in'
tercsted partook of this apprehension) that such
an exposure at a moment when an immense A- |
merican property was in Schleswic and Holstien j
■was arrested under a general suspicion of collu
sion and fraud, might have the most fatal effects,

although the expediency of the exposure and the
alarming magnitude of the responsibility I was
about to assume, occasioned a pause of some days
—the notoriety ofthe circumstance, however,
at length left me no alternative, and I demanded
the seizure of the above named ship«*, writing at
the same time direct to his majesty the king of
Denmark of which letter i have now the honor
to enclose a copy,
1 have no answer as yet, nor
can it be foreseen
that has been in Copenhagen,
or what will be in Paris, the effect of this unfor
tunate occurrence. In any event, I am strong
in the conviction of my own rectitude ar.d sup
ported by the opinion of General Armstrong and
the unanimous approbation of the respectable
body of American merchants who represent the
large property immediately at slake.

Timothy Pickering—-Again.
[In some of our last numbers we dealt rather
liberally with the revolutionary mul general po
litical character of this arch leader of the Es.- x
or tory junto of Massachusetts and its various
branches in the other states. In dob. g which
we considered that we were executing a humi
den duty to those of our readers in whose ears
the revolutionary services, the bravery and
great talents of the High l
of federalism
are continually poured by many worthy, tho'
misled members of the opposition. After hav
ing given our opinions of the nun, anti quoted
the data on which they were founded ; we in
troduce to our readers }Jie sentiments of Mr,
Worthington, the able and eloquent representa
tive of tlie city of Baltimore in the House of
Delegates of Maryland. It is an extract f ont
his celebrated speech on Brent's resolutions,
delivered at the last session. We feei nota
little proud that such elevated anti enlightened
characters as Mr. W. coincide with us in an
opinion which we have long entertained of the
political depravity of this man Timothy.]
Extract from Mr. Worthington's Spire A.
Now, for a moment, let us see who is
this mighty Mr. Pickering—He is, in mv
opinion, the very worst man iu the country!
When he was in power what artifice did he
leave untried to set the government against
the people ; and now he is out of power
what duplicity and villany does he not
cm.
ploy to set the people against the govern
ment? He has heen the same bad
man
from the beginning ! Where was this par
riotic & valiant man when that battle* was
fought ?—Where was colonel Pickering
with his regiment, when American blood
was streaming on the plains of Lexington ?
He was most basely and treacherously, nay
hypocritically withholding the eager spirits
of his troops from die glori-'us contest !—
His behaviour at Philadelphia afterwards,
when it was evacuated, shed an impenetra
ble cloud of suspicion and accusation round
him !
Yet it is said he was beloved of
Washington, and rendered services to his
country I Why, sir, during the whole rev
olutionary war lie was in the staff, and even
if he were beloved by general Washington,
that only proves that the best of men are of
ten imposed upon by the worst 1 Like an
insinuating and wiley serpent, he no doubt
.wound himself around the generous and
■good and unsuspecting heart of the father
of his country—for the best of men are the
last to suspect bad qualities in others, pro
fessing to be free from wickedness and de
sign. Nor, sir, was general Washington
calculated to develope the dark and com
pact involutions, the writhing obliquities oi
such a character as Pickering.
He ts thu deadly Upas tree of the East,
throwing his blasting and poisonous influ
ence around him—-He stands pre-eminent
ly bad amidst a lugubrious scene of sterili
ty, desolation anti death 1 beneath his de
leterious shade, no verdure quickens—no
solitary plant takes root. When he moves
a'.or.g through our continent, he resembles
the sully demon of pestilence, pervading
this healthy and peaceful country 1 It is
well that he has now happily arrived at the
maturity of corruption, where the worst

Washington, Dec. 26, 1810.
Sir,
A very particular friend of yours,
who has been much recommended to my
esteem, has lately mentioned you to me in
a manner, of which I avail myself to offer
this expression of the sense I have always
entertained of your character, and of the
part you bore, as a Hero and a patriot, in
establishing the independence of our coun
try.
I cannot better render this tribute, than
by congratulating you on the happiness you
cannot fail to derive fromtthe motives which
made vou a champion in so glorious a cause ;
from the gratitude shewn by your fellow
citi/cns for your distinguished services ;
and especially from ' he tv*
drlvmity xvhich
a protracted life has

the triumph of Republican Institutions,

flowing from them, during a trial of more

for any thing but freedom; yet submission
to insult I never thought the way to gain or
