I
Jjitest Jrom England.
On Tuesday last, the ship Two Bro
thers, Purrington, of Gardiner, (Me.)
arrived at this port, in 32 days from the
Downs. The intelligence by this ves
sel is but one day later than that recei
ved hy former arrivals. The captain
reported, that it was generally believed
in England, that the U. S. frigate John
Adams, which had sailed for France on
her return to this country, would bring
out the articles of a Treaty between G.
Britain and America.
We doubt whether any formal trea
ty has as yet been agreed upon between
ihe two countries ; but the former in
telligence on this subject affords abun
cUnt evidence for believing, that our
government have now a favorable op
portunity of settling all our differences
with that country, if they are sincerely
disposed to effect so desirable an ob
ject. On this subject, it is understood, |
that our Executive are now in posses- ]
sion of the principal facts, as the Juno,
arrived some days since, brought du
plicates of the dispatches which are on
board the John Adams.
On the 4th of March, a vcrv severe
gale of wind was experienced at Cadiz,
which continued five days. Several
inen of war, and a number of merchant
men were driven on shore and lost. See
particulars on first page.
Cadiz, on the 22d of March was vig
orously defended against the attacks of
the French. The force in the city was
estimated at 29,000 men, 6000 of |
whom were English troops. The a- 1
mount of the French army is different- |
ly stated. Some accounts fix it at
39,000, otheis at 50,000.
The Spanish supreme power was
vested in a regency, of which Cast a nos
was chief. The last accounts make no
mention of the French liaving invaded
Portugal.
The late favorable news from Eng
land is by no means pleasing to the
warhawks, who have been long striving
fora war with that country. What is
worse still, the late accounts from
France represent Bonaparte more hos
tile towards Commerce and the United [
States than ever.
j
Economy ! Economy !
Frederick the Great once observed,
that if he should ever wish to curse a
Province, he would appoint a Philoso
pher to govern it. How far the United
States have exhibited this maxim, let
the presidency of Mr. Jefferson ans
wer. The advocates of his election told
the people, that the burdens imposed
Upon them by federal rulers would be
Lghtened by placing democrats in of
fice ; that there would be great deduc
tions in the civil list ; and the expans
es for armies and navies would be redu
ced. But the contrary Ins been the
fact. Salaries have not been reduced.
The army has been increased, and its
Commander has expended enormous
sums. A fleet of nearly 20:) useless
gun boats have been built at the ex
pense of a million or more of the peo
ple’s money—and whut good have they
done ? The folly of this specimen of
democratic wisdom is now apparent to
a majority in Congress, and there is
now before that body a resolution for
selling these “ mud turtles.” Still a
majority of the citizens of this country
say amen to all these things. How long
this delusion will continue is impossi
ble to say ; but there always will be of
fice seekers and unprincipled men who
will find their account in deceiving the
people. Let designing men assert as
often as they please, that the policy of
our democrats, ever since they have
had the administration of the general
government has been to lessen the tax
es of the middle and poorer classes of
citizens, which they pay towards the
support of government, the contrary is
the fact. The tax on houses was paid
almost wholly by the rich, while the
poor man had nothing to pay. The du
ty on carriages was paid principally by
the rich. The repeal of all the internal
revenues was greatly in favor of the
rich, and against the poor. Yet the lea
ding democrats were constantly telling
the people how economical Sc humane
their policy was. Let the demagogues
of the day talk of their regards for the
farmer, the mechanic, and laborer, it is
ail deception. Look at the proceedings
m Congress. Ad « * of Jir y per ccn t
is to be hid on all goods, wares, Sc mer
chandize, the produce and manufacture
oi either England or France imported
“'•to the United States. This measure,
under the pLusible idea of retaliating
upon England and France, for their do-1

pay 11 ? No. W !»o then r The con
sumer. Kvcry man who buys a pound
ol ohee, oi sugar, or an article ot clo
thing. And the f;oor rrr.n, who works
upon the w harf for a dollar a day, must
pay nearly as much of this duty for ar
ticles used in Lis family, as the rich
man w ho possesses his 100,000 dolhns.
liutii may oe said that he who does not
purchase imported articles will not have
to pay the duly, lint where is the man
that can avoid purchasing those arti
cles ? He can neither raise nor manu-*
facture th«m. The truth is, the waste
of the public money in the purchase of
Louisiana, in gun-boats, by democratic
defaulters and favorites has exhausted
the treasury, and the people must be
taxed in some such way as this, or de
mocrats must lose their places. Thev
knew that either /oa//.v, or direct taxes
must be resorted to, if they had not laid
an additional duty to1 raise money to
meet the ordinary expenses of govern
ment. For tiie millions which Mr Jef
ferson boasted of in the treasury, have
in the short space of one year, vanished
like the early dew.
On examining the yeas and nays on
this measure, we find not a single fede
ralist in Congress voted in favor of it.
It is worthy of remark, whilst alluding
to this subject, that Congress have been
in session nearly six months, doing lit
tle or nothing ; and after the spring e
lcctions in Xew-England are decided,
now at the very heel of the session,
come out with a high hand, determin
ed to carry their plans into operation, Sc
trust to their hireling editors and par
tizans to defend and support their op
pressive measures.
The inquiry is often made, what is the
new favorite of democrac) John Adams
about at the coutofSt. Petersburg!! ? This
mission commenced in mystery &. continues
involved in ihe same. Perhaps the Lieut.
Governor elect could inform. Lute accounts
liom Russia represent that the Emperors
Alexander and Bonaparte are not on the
best terms. Should these characters con
tinue ;tt variance we predict the mission of
our “ patriotic” minister will not prove verv <
successful,except in draining thcTreasuryof
20,000 dulLr.^ lor Mr. Adams’ outfits and
salary.
The ela tion of Governor, Senators, 1
Members of Assembly, and Represen- I
tatives to Congress, commenced in N.
York on Tuesday last, and would close \
ou the Thursday following. The re
sult will probably be known this week.
Of the present Government of that
State, the Governor and Senate ate de- j
mocratic, and the House of Assembly
are federal.
The Freeman’s Journal States, that
it was Gen. Armstrong’s intention to
leave France this month.

COMMUNICATION.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
To Chistians of all denominations.
I feel it my duty to address a few remarks
to you as to some t'eporis lately circulated,
designed to excite unjust alarms and fears,
merely to promote party and political pur
poses. ] mean the idle and wicked reports*
that ourfederal lulcrs intend to take away or
abridge our religious freedom. Sucli re
ports, I think, are idle an ! wicked; because
there is not the least foundation for them,
and because these stories, i believe, are cir
cuLted to answer party views even at the
expence of truth. That cause certainly
must be bad, which needs such support;
Mid those m» n must l>e wicked, who report
false stories of their brethren and fellow
c instians.
If I thought there was any truth in those
reports, 1 would join in opposing those per- j
sons who wish to take away our religious
lihctties, and for the same reason, that is for
the love of truth, 1 must blame tho..t aritul
men who raise such false stories.
I
It was pretended several years ago, by a
few ambitious men, who do any thing to pro.
mote their own party and selfish views, that
our federal rulers would destroy the religious
privilegesoftbe people and make Bishops <,v
er us It was said Gov. Strong would do this*
The story is again revived and propagated
with more zeal than ever. But where is the
<r idence to support the charge ? Is there
proof of any such plan or design ? Sure ly,
I know of none : and therefore cannot help
thinking they are bud men, who circulate
such idle reports to defame and injure good
characters among the federalists.
We well know, that the federalists were
the framers of, and have always supported
the Constitution and this expressly recogniz
es and secures to the people the free enjoy
ment of their religious opinions and modes I
of worship. Guv. Strong and a federul general
court had the power and made laws for us,
six or seven years. And it is a fact, that all
that time, B.iptist c.n! Methodist societies
were incorporated whenever applied for, as
they ought to be upon constitutional princi
pies.
The Constitution indeed requires the peo
ple to provide for the support of clu isMan
r o t*r.i and p jHlic Christian worship ; out
leave*itciuirei) nee i! »• pc . «. to choose
Ihcui own drtvmitt• tlinn, ib* ir wu iiiioisier,
and the c .in pen a on e.c' « . i .*«. If the
k .ierah.ts mctn to V.<*- a • y <ur religion t
freedom, why di 1 ui y .*ot attempt it vdien
liu-y were a Lrgv v. ty and could do it
tl they wished r' ' . \ n • base and wicked
torhaigr the feite**;.! -t> with any swell plan
when ihere <h no pn of to support it \
1 will now info:m you, wherein I think
the federalists and leading democrats dificr
on tois subject. TheJ[ eralUfi have always
said ttie Constitution is right in requiring
the people to suppoit Christian woiship and
instiluti«,i,s of seme form and denomination
(leaving it however to the people to choose
their own sentiments and cere monk*?) Hut
immy ol the democrats (vnd I can name some
il it he necessary) are opposed to die Con.
stnuiion tiir this very reason, that it does re
c]«.iit-o the people to support anv .religion :
and they ay, that the people, if they choose,
should do wholly without religious worship
and teachers ol every' description.
I his, I do know, to be the opinion of many
leading democrats. They condemn that ar
ticle ol the constitution which provides for
the support of Christian* worship of anv sort.
, whilst the federalists generally (perhaps
j Hot all of them) approve of the constitniion
in this respect, as well as all others, and
think it necessary for the people to support
some denomination of teachers and to attend
some cliristinn worship or other as our fath
ers always did since the first settlement of
the country.
We arc told that Gen. Cobb is for forcing
the people in religious matters. But this
really appears to me a great mistake : For
he only said, that government had a right to
the services of the people, and if it was ne
cessary for the safety of the state in case of
insurrection &.c might order the citizens to
go here or there, or to set in this or that
place, even in a meeting house as well as
any other place, hut added, at the same time
that he meant this not with regard to reli
gious but civil affairs, that he liked the
constitution as it was, that lie considered it
folly to attempt to hind or force the con
ciences of men, end that he hoped never to
see tl'.e time in this land when the people
would be forced to receive or practise any
one particular form or sect of religion.
The story about Gen. Cobb then amounts
to nothing. It is a great mistake (*» first
reported) or a base misrepresentation. Be
side we all know he lias ever been the friend
of religious as well as of civil freedom and
of the constitution.
I am unwilling to think the democrats
w ish to destroy religion or take away our
religious privileges. But it is a fact, that
most of the Deists among us are of the de
mocratic party. I do fear, that if we are to
have Bishops put over us, it is most likely to
be done by Mr. Gerry, who is of the Epis
copal church, which has an order of Bishops,
and maintains them to this day, wherever
they are the majority. And though I am
willing the I .piscopalian church should enjoy
its freedom and ^privileges, I hope never to
have it prevail in this country.

Mr. Short, who was nominated by
Mr. Jefferson as Minister to Russia,
has lately arrived in England from
France. He has written to a friend in
Philadelphia, that he thought it prudent
to hasten his departure from France,
as the time was approaching when it
would be difficult lor Americans to
leave that country.
