I' e people of this commonwealth are mod

ItiTion of this l.tgifla'u'e. If the United

the Commercial States, but alfo the refourccs

principally from them But however great
rrght f»e the exertions and facnfices required
in a jnft and nece flary War we confidently
truft that the people of this Common wealth
w. uld always «heerbilly luftain them ; and
forgetting ail party ddiindlion* and iocal inter
efl., wvu'd cordially unite to maintain the
right* and vindicate the honor of the nation.
In loch a (late of things ti e adminiftration
w,1! ite encouraged and ftrengthened by that
approbation of their meafurrs which cverv
patriotic ci'i*rn will readily be flew. But
when on the other hand the people are alar

ceceifity of which they do not clearly per
ceive ; it is theii foienm duty *«. well as right
lo exprefs thnfe opinions frankly and une

of Hepreirtratives cannot refrain from declar

ttve of the negneiation w-i'h the MtniOer of
cue of the Be ligerer.t Nations. At the ter
tr button of even a profperous w ar, we (ball
Hill have the prefent differences to be com
pi-oinii'ed and fettled by . amicab'e ncgocia
rb.n ; and cannot be prefumed that after a
long and huiguinary coufiuft, either party will
enter on the difcaflion wi h feelings more con
ciliatory than thofe which now acluate them.
V* hen therefore all that can be reafonably
expejfeo from luccefsful w-ar, Teemed to have
been artainab c by treaty ; at the moment
when the Mimfler refered to, was producing ,
full powers from his Government, to fettle a- (

degree dift -effing to lee the negociation breken
off, for caules which we are unable to compre

We are far frora imputing to our national
ruVrs any intention or -icfire to involve us in
war ; but the confluences of this mpture
may not be under their control, and may lead
unhappi'v to that calamitous iflue. Thefub
feqaeat aifls and mealure* of the Government
are not calculated to quiet thefe apprehen
nor do the^ appear to us to promife a
reftoration of friendly iotercourfe. Invidi
ous redriefbons on the trade of foreign na

on their part ; and every a cl even of felf de

may intend to provoke hoflilines, and though
there is confeiledly no fufheient caufe for war
ai prefent; ye* in fucha date ot mutual irri

be the inevitable reiult. In contemplating

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
IVajhingturiy TuefJay, Jan. 30
Mr Eppes called for the order of the day
upon the Annual Appropriation Bill. Carried,
Mr. Cutts was called to the Chair.
In this bill ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
Dollars is appropriated to cover the default of 1
the late Democratick Colledlor of New Or
leans, Mr. Brown
The bill Involved an appropriation of 4500
dollars for an Ambajfadour to Madrid ! (To
King Jofeph Bonaparte!'!) Mr. Quincy mo
ved to ftrike it out. Mr. Eppes obje&ed.
Mr Bacou laid he believed a minifter would j
not be fent unless there Iliould be a fettled
government in Spain. (The executive feems
to think Mr. JefferfoiTs “ conteft for the gov
ernment in Spain" is almoft over.) Mr, Quin
cy faid if there iliould be a fettled government
in Spain, the Prelident would have a conftitu
tional power to fend a minifter without a
previous appropriation, as in the cafe of the
minifter to Ruilia Mr. Upham faid that by
making this appropriation, the houfe would
virtually tel! the Prefident that it was his du
ty to fend fuch a minifter. Mr Root laid the
thing did not ftrike him with much alarm ;
probably the Junta or Grata / / / or whatever
it was called, exercifing fome of the attributes
nf royalty, would foon expire, and in that cafe
it would be proper to fend a minifter to king
Jofeph Mr Lyon delivered a very animated
fpeech. He faid the gentleman from New
\ ork, and the republican! of the nnv Jtbool, were
advocating the old federal doctrine of i
appropriations in grofs. Mr. L. was (till in
favour of fpecifick appropriations. He faid
if one of the Bonapartes were to reign a; Mad
rid, the money paid for fuch a million would
be thrown away,a»all the bulinefs would be
done at Paris. Jofeph would not dare to
make a fingle ftipulation wrhout leave of Na
poleon. He would fay the fame of the mif
lion to St. Peierfburg. He had repeatedly
alhed why a minifter was fent there,but could
get nothing for an anfwer but a fmile,a rod of the
bead, or leme fuch thing. Alexander had
tiucklcd to Napoleon—he had become one
of his tools, one of his fervants, one of his
vaflal*. What ueccfiity was there for this
million ? Here agaiu, if there were ai.y bull- j
nef» to do,, it inuft in fad* be done at Paris, '
ai'd the nine thousand dollar outfits, and
five thousand dollar falaries, would be
uni. ir me nouie were to become the humble
tool* of the Executive in thefe concerns, het- I
ter to give him the power of appropriation it
ielf. Mr. Quincy added the remark that the
houfewere ca'led upon to vote a fum for a
million .to a court which had never yet been
recognized by our Executive. Mr Rhea ;
hoped a m'-oifer -u ,uid be Jent to Madrid! Mr.
Goldlborough delivered a concife but very
handfome fpeecb againft the appropriation.
He faid the Executive appeared to have fet
tled this point by refuGng to receive a minif
ter from Seville, aud the true queftion now
appeared to be, whether the houfe would at
once fanclion an embafly to Jofeph Bonaparte
or not. He was oppofed to it. J hofe who
wilhed for luch an embafly would vote for
the highelt futn propofed ' Mr M Kim faid
he was not attached to Napoleon, or to the
bur thrught we ought to fend an am
ba .a.lour to Madrid when the government
lliculd be perfectly eftabliflied there. Mr.
W Allton thought juft fo. When there
lliould be a government in Spain, fuch as the
civilized -uorld -would recognize / (Mr. A. will
not deny that he meant the government of
the “ Philofopher” Jofeph) we ought to have
a rept efentative there. Madrid will ftill con
tinue in Spain as heretofore—(Will it indeed,
Mr. Alftirn ?) We are not going to lend a
minifter to our own country—(Hew fage
this remark!) There is no other Madrid but
New Madrid—(How fage !)
Mr. Emott faid that he thought the whole
buGuef* mult be a miltake of the Secretary of
the Treafu rv or his clerk, as fuch a miiGon j
was provided for /n former laws. In the pref
ent Hate of Europe, two minifter* to that
quarter of the globe would be a* uleful is two
thouland ! It may be necelTary to fend a j
minifter to Holland, to Naples, to Wiriem
berg, even to Canton, but we ought not to
legiflate upon poffibilicies Mr. Ep-'s faid
he wa* tnditferent whether the appro iation
was made or not. Mr Lyon again lpofed
the appropriation, but wa« interrupt I by a
moft tremendous and overwhelming / li~g of
d'V in gaHcry. A member called out, >rder !
and the dogs were loon driven down iirs —
Mr. Montgomery replied to Mr. Goldlba
rough. lie laid the Hstntahad thought prop
L * *
Pr to fend a Miniftff to ihi# country, and the
I executive, who had a right to judge, had re
jected him, and had judged correctly It
was not Intrn led to fend a mmtfltr to tie court of
1 fojetb until the government nsas fettled down !
. The Executive would then do as he thought
proper. Mr. Key laid that ir the cafe of Mr.
! Sbcrt, there was no previous appropriation,
but the late Prelideut :hought fuch an en.baf
; ly neceflary, and he had in his power a con
tingent fund to defray the ex pence. The
prefent Prefideot wou!d have (uch a fund al
1 fo. But we ohjeCt that this appropriation
I will give a tolovr to the embajj\ at all events.—
| Mr. Rhea, of Tenoeflee, uttered a tolerable
quanthy of words which were no doubt in
tended toconftitute a fptech. But the words
appeared to have been lately frozen, and to lie
juft beginning to tbarr out, producing ftrange,
incoherent founds, like thofe mentioned in
the witty work of a wanton wight, called
Raaclzij.
. The motion to ftrike out the appropriation
for a miifion to the court of Madrid prevail
ed, 52 to 35. (And the People will fay Amen.)

SPANISH NEWS.
An arrival at Baltimore from Malaga,
gives Spanish dates into December. The
immortal Gerona net only continued to bid
defiance to the skill of French artillerists,
but had been succored anrl reinforced.
The Spanish jirnay, of La Mancha were I
reassembling from their late disgraceful
dispersion, and were advancing on the
French. In other parts of Spain the din of
opposition to French despotism and cruelty
continued, and submission was only talked
ot by Traitors and French partizans.
FROM ST. BARTS.
Capt. Davidson, arrived at Annapolis, ,
from St. Hart’s, which he left 14lh ult. in- !
forms, that the island of Guadaloupe had '
been closely blockaded by the British for j
some time ; that the troops collected for its 1
attack, were in readiness at Martinico and |
Barbadocs ; and that he understood they i
would commence operations the day he
sailed. The French at Guadaloupe had
concentrated their forces at Basseterre.
1 he French Consuls in Denmark fulminate ;
their Master’s Imperial Decrees for the ob
struction of neutral commerce in that inde
pendent nation, as unceremoniously as they
would do it in Nantz or Bourdeaux._And
the Danes patiently submit to it!
MQRF. EMBARGO BLESSINGS.
^Ve learn from official and other sources, i
that during the last year, there were slop, i
ped from Quebec, TIMBER which cost
Three Millions of dollars ; Staves to the a
mount of One Million of dollars, and ashes to
the amount of Fifteen hundred thousand
dollars ; all of the produce of the United
States, and all carried to Europe in British
bottoms ; while the American shipping—
especially that part of it, built and adapted
to the Carrying Trade—have been laid up i
as useless, or employed in a trade they !
are not best calculated for. The inhabi-'
tams of Maine—particularly those who are
sticklers for the Embargomen now in office,
and their measures—will do well to reflect
on these facts ; and duly appreciate the
cause which makes the western wilderness
to flourish ; encourages the flag of a foreign
nation ; and which, by forbidding the trade
with Great Britain, excludes them from the
best market for their timber, lumber, and
other produce.
I lie Philadelphia Aurora comes forth, at
last, in plain terms, and demands an alliance
with Bonaparte !
A more extraordinary contrast of
sentiment, or barefaced contradiction of
opinion, never was submitted to the
councils ol any nation, than is given in
the appropriation which is requested
hy the Executive of the United States
to Ik made for an ambassador to Mad
rid, the residence of king Joseph Bona
parte, at the very moment when the
1 resident ol the U. States, under the
plea ol an existing contest for the gov
ernment of Spain, has incurred the
risk of a war with the Spanish people,
by refusing to accredit a minister, dcp.
uted to represent them near the gov
ernment of the U. States.
While we congratulate the peorle on
the 11jec* ion ol the proposed appropria
tion, hy lit* House ot Representatives, we
must take the liberty to enquire of the ad
ministi nlion, how long they snppose such
double dealing will be acquiesced in, by

....
By the latest accounts front Spain, we have
some hopes that she will for a while be able
to stem the torrent ot French power wnirn
had almost overwhelm, d her. Get ona u pro
digy of courage and paiiiolism, still holds
out. A more united and vigorous spirit
seems to actuate the whole kingdom, and
they are determined to )ield only ‘to lion |
who conquers all.* They hope that before
Bonaparte, whose army is enfeebled by a i
long and destructive war, will be able a
gaiii to assault their country in person,
That they shall be able effectually to check
the progress of the Gi llie Myrmidons. But
from the usual fortune of Napoleon, we
lear their case is desperate.
We are frequently importuned for not
publishing more of tire doings of Congress—
and are told that during the present dearth
of foreign intelligence, an opportunity is
afforded not only of enumerating all the
public acts of that august body, but like
wise the opinions of members respecting
their tendency. To importunities and re
quests of this kind, founded upon expecta
tions so natural and reasonable from public
journalists, what shall we replt' ? fruitless
would be endeavors to persuade our read
ers that this information is withheld for the
purpose of giving place to matters more im
mediately for their interest—fur nothing
can be more productive to their interest than
t« have Congress adopt measures that will
have a tendency to extricate us from the
difficulties and embarrassments which sut
round us on every side. How, then, we
repeat, are w: to excuse ourselves for this
neglect ? The cause which wc defend has
Truth for its basis ; “ ’Tis yours, ’tis the
statesman’s and the Peasant’s.” To dis
semble, therefore, we shall not—e’en tho
the exposure should cost the present ma
jority in Congress their popularity and their
places. It is now 77 days since Csngiess
convened—during which time they have
passed a Resolve, that the expressions con
tained in the letter from Mr. Jackson to Mr.
Smith, of the 23d of October last, convey
ing a certain idea, was “ highly indecorous
and insolent !’ And this is the principal
act decided upon during the present ses
sion. Should they hereafter be so fortu
nate as to succeed in enacting another la%u
during the remainder of the session, we
promise to disclose the fact at an early
period.
Will the people now coincide with the
opinion that has been held out to them, of
the infallibility of the majority in Congress
and the administration ? They have spent
a great part of the session in considering and
reconsidering a certain ill-begotten monster,
called Macon's Bill. And their activity f ul
ly evinces that they will vote for any thing
that is not advocated by federalists, and that
is hostile to England, without doing any
thing to help us out of the hobble into
which they have brought us. The whole
bent of their measures are calculated for
nothing else but to « gorge the wolves and
vultures* of democracy.
When >ve see our bona JUic Demo
crats, so eagerly courting alliance with
France, and overlooking all the indig
nities which they in common with
other American citizens have suffered
from her ; we are induced to apply the
language of Burke, who was so fortu
nate as to be the instrument of saving
his own country from being consumed
by the blaze of French principles,
which was fast kindling in it, and whose
prophetic spirit foresaw the inevitable
destruction of any nation who was so
rash as to suffer Itself to be drawn in
to ihe vortex of French influence.
“ We are apt to speak” he says “ of
a low and pusillanimous spirit as the
ordinary cause by which dubious wars
tei inmate in humiliating treaties. It
is heie the direct contrary. I am per
fectly astonished and confounded at the
bob i ness of character, at the intrepidity
of mind, the firmness of nerve, in those
who are able with deliberation to face
the perils of jacobinical, French frater
nity”
An Appeal to Americans.
Jwakcy ariney or be forever fallen.
We have now arrived at an awful
crisis ol out fate, when we must eith
er go forward or stop where we are,
for we cannot at present recede. It is
better, then, to halt, it we are on our
march towards a power!'>1 foe, than to
proceed and take destruction for the
c >nsequences. It is better rather than
be led blindly to destruction by the
wilfully blind, to stop your progress, to
enquire why and wherefore you are to
sacrifice your liberties, your properties
and your very lives, merely to gratify
the prejudices of a few individuals.
\ ou must all be sensible, that our gov
ernment have gone too fir to go back
again with honor. They have insulted
a foreign power, with whom, you know
p e ai e not able to cope. England has
insulted us, and France has insulted us.
B' .i our government has likewise insul
Cngl nd. They have violated the
of n ’ions, in the dismissal of their
ambassador, and are now contempU'
ti n . he invasion of the British domin

should happen, we know from expeii
ence that w e should be obliged to yidj
all to our southern brethren, Hasno.
[ this beenahe case? Who wuet!

ma which separated the American colL
nies from the mother-country? \\ ho

dependent yeomanry of New-England 1
Are these people then tamely- to
mit to oppiession? Are they not to
have the privilege of expressing their
sentiments, as well as the Democrat!
of the southern States ? The majority
in Congress, in contradiction of all
their zeal for liberty have lately en.
deavored to debar the Federal mem
bers of the liberty of speech and deliate.
They bawl aloud, u British influence,"
“ Tories” Sic. when the Federal Far
mers dare to declare their opinions,
when they constitutionally inquirt in
what way their money, earned by the
sweat of their brow9y has been squan
dered. It touches these Corsicans to
the quick to perceive that the federal
ists have discovered, that they have
trampled upon those rights that arc
expressly defined in cur constitution.
That they have vilely expended Urge
sums of the people’s money. That
out ot the full treasury, in the first
term of Jefferson’s presidency, nothing
is left, but that we are reduced to the
necessity of soliciting a large loan, to
defray the expellees of government.
That THIRTY TWO MILLIONS St VS
half of money, for which the pub
lick lands were sold, has been consu
med—the administration know in what
manner. Under these circumstances
therefore, will you consent to a war
with England ? The democrats know
you will not, and they are making these
pretended patriotic declarations, only
to bring you into more abject submis
sion to their ido^ Napoleon.
“ These hollow men, i»ke horses hot at
hand,
Make gallant show and promise of their
mettle ;
But when they should endure the bMj
spur
They fall their cretts, and like deceitful
jades.
Sink in the trial.”
1 he republishment of the piece head
ed “ insufferable outrage !** (taken from
the Ntw-lork Public AuUar.cc) in all
the democratic papers, evinces the
mimickry and delusion of their editors,
for they have quoted this “ outrag”
into their papers as it was dictated to
them by the apostles at Newyork ; un
mindful that the certificate of the mu
sician, overthrew their whole edifice.
Here they have fairly wounded them
selves with their own arrows. They
have discovered their knowledge of
Musicy by confounding the tune of God
save Americay with God save the King.
No doubt these injured Americansy at
New-York, are the same persons who
assaulted John Adamsy when he was
travelling through that city, with the
tunes ol Vive la Liber tic and * Carmag
nole. Such arc the pitiful shifts resort
ed toby the faction for the support of a
cause that has brought upon the coun
try all our difficulties and embarrass
ments.
The next time they publish folly and
falshood, we advise them not to publish
a certificate with it, that will invalidate
their statement.
