cmhuGaftic—he is deluded, and a torrent of
opprobrious epithets await him whenever he

persecution to which God’s people are now*
expofed. In the text we have the realbn of

thirty million more ; and, as all this
did not caufe the arming of a fingie

As the whole revenue of the U.

age, amount to more than 10
millions, for every dollar the good
people of this country pay into their

eighteen years fuccefTivdy fifty cents,

this is five dollars a year each for

MONTGOMERY.
Iroai the Bofton Repertory.
Hon. John C). Adams.
We have never made but few re
rruiks on the policy and views of om
government, in fending a minuter to
Kl:ilia, and luJi a minuter as Mr.
John Adams, becauie what we
n.Owlw have Hated as our opinion,
t
feme might have imputed to unfa
vourable prepoflelfions : Nor lhail we
now afk credit for a mere opinion
unfupperted by fa&s ; but the Hate
of American ati'ans in the North of
, Europe explains the object of Mr. '
Adana's million as obviouily as i
; though his converfaiion u ua Mr. j
Madifon, before h^> departure, had '
been fi*h fully publiined in the Na- j
lional V\^c?icer.
Let abufed, infulted and betrayed '
Americans attend to the circumllan- i
ces which have taken place with ref
pedl to our trade in the l<u Hi an and !
Danilh dominions, and fee whether
the iniquity of our cabinet, and the
bafe purposes for which this man was
employed, are not fufhciently evident.
; if they are not, we with fome friend
| of the government to otTer us an ex*
! planation of appearances and fails,
which lhall be faiisfactory, or at leatt
plaufibk, and cillipate our impref
; lions.
Why was Mr. Adams fent to Ruf
fia ? Was there any treaty in agita
tion ? We have heard ot none. We
: know of no occaffion for any. Was
American trade fuff.ring from any
vtxaticus proceeding of that govern
ment, for which he went to feek re
lief ? 1 his fas never been and could !
never be pretended. The Ruffians '
were our irieuus—they treated us as
fuch—they welcomed us to their
ports, when our government chofe to
let us go ; and they permuted no em
barraffrr.cnt to moictt our mtercourfe
with then:.
Ihe Britifli, no doubt, availed
j themfelvea ot the practice, common
, to belligerents, of affuming the ieu
i tral charadfer, and traded to Ruffia
| under our flag, or unJer the protec
tion of firnulated papers. It was as
! m* ch the delire of Ruflia as the
hugiifh, (or it was no fee ret. It wa3
: a be miic to boih, and the practice
j was attended with this advantage to
j Americans—While the Britifli enjoy
; €d a portion of trade to Ruffia, under
our flag, it was the means of keeping
i the Balrick open to us. Ruffia was
i England’s avowed enemy ; and unlefs
! fome advantage was to be obtained
j by rntcrcourfe, in lome lhape, it
I would have been her in rereft and her
| ur.queftionable right, to have (hut
j the channel, and deprive her en
emy of ail trade from without. The
Ruliians were anxious lor commerce
botn with England and the United
. States. Whether the property then,
under our flag, was Britilh or Amer
ican, it was equally fafe. No invef
' ligations were made—i^p alarm ex
ited— no Americans were wrongful
.lv lciztd, on the preemption that
the property Was Englilh, becaule
there was no defire, if i: were Eng
lifli, to detect the faft In this Rate
of things what part does Mr. Adams
act ? lie foon made trouble enough.
Ruilii had been obliged, owing to
. . . o „ o
Iitr political relations, to keep up ap
pearances'* with France. Her laws
were feverc againft the Britifh, but
as there were no French armies in
Reterfburgh, flic couid win:; at an
i etafion ol her laws, which her inter-*
! clt lo much required. But Mr. Ad
ams foon fnppiied the place of a
j French army, Vnd French cuftom
! houfe officers. In the true fpirit of
| Bonaparte, and actuated, for ought
| we can conceive, by no motive but
to fubferve his views ; regardlefs of
; the perplexities in which he might
involve many of his innocent coun
; trynren i and the probability of ills
cauhng the Britifli tofiiutthe Baltics
, againlt us, if he fucceeded in ftop
! pmg their trade with Ruffia; he j
went to work as informer general ;
; that B naparte might have evidence .
| enough againft Alexander, if the
“ continental fifitm* was any longer
evaded there declared the papers of I
a large number of apparently Amer ,
ican vefl'rls fictitious, and they con
fcquently were feizrd. But left he
might not ftrike deep enough at the
commerce ol England, a nation
wnich he hates to frenzy, his fufpi
cror.s too were proclaimed j and thus
in a fhort time, he glorioufly fuc
ceeded 1:1 rendering Antricau dctu
merits generally difcredircd in that
quarter, l.vrjy merchant in the fi
rmed States kviows this to be a faCl,
and every informed merchant knows
it is the work oJf Mr. Adams.
Now let n 'Hcnd to other fa£ls of
much greater ^jonfequence. Mr.
Adams flopped at Copenhagen. By
that government we had been injur
ed. There was bufinels for a imn
ider. hut what did he do ? Surely
no good j for from that day to this,
the viliany which has been perpetra
ted upon our flag and property by
the Danes, has increafcd an hundred
fold. Whatever they might pretend
at firft, they have long fince ccafed
to make lufpicion of britilh property
a plea for the feizures and captures
they have made, and the monilrous
robberies they have committed. I o
wards us they have a&ed as a nation
of cirates ; to be an ..merican is to
be a victim. But though fur a long
time, the atrocities of that govern
menc nave been proclaimed, lrom
one extreme of the United States to
the other ; though the fuiFcrings of
our merchants in every State and
port call aloud for redrefs $ though
Mr. Adams is almoft on the fpot, he
cannot leave the important duty of
detecting Englifh fmugglers at Pe
teifburg, to prottft againit the out
rages of Denmark. What is the fe
crer of this ? i hey are notorioufiy
committed at the mitigation of Bon
aparte ; nay by his exprtfj orders,
and American papers are lent to Pa
ris lor examination. Our govern
ment are perfectly quiet and patient
at home ; Mr. Adams is plotting and
executing mifehief in Ruilij ; while
he might be ptotdling againit the
wrongs we fuller, at Denmark; and
whiie our frigates ought to be olow
ing their rafcally privateers out of
water, they are at anchor in our har
bours
if thefe ftatements of fa<Rs are not
nylt we beg to be corre£te. If they
are in the name of juttice and hon
our, how long will the patience of
the American people tolerate that
infernal policy, by which they are
; infulted, robbed and de> taded in the
: eyes of all the world ?
Mode of Jifpfrg of ffices at Wajh
ington—Mf. Poindexter, a Kcpre
fentative from the Miflifippi Terri
tory, in a letter to his Conflituents,
fays, “It is a well known la£t that
the fuffrages of the people are
never confultcd in the feiedion of
officers, defignated to rule in the
refpective Territories. Intrigue,
fraudyperfdjy and chicanery, are en
gines not unfrequent y wielded to
obtain for the fawning fycophants
that preferment which is denied to
the independent poflefTor of virtue,
integrity and talents.’’

Defence of empty Treaf tries.—The
Hon. Matthew Clay, a member of
Congrefs from Virginia, in a late
circular letter to his conllituenrs, ex
cufes the Adminiflration for drain

full treafury would be in the hands
of a profligate a dm migration, if fuch

for thieves and robbers, and will
juflify the peculation of Skinner and

As Mr. Jejfcr/cn wrote a letter of
congratulation to Louis Bonaparte,
when he was made a King, it may be
expected he will write a letter of
condolence to him on his becoming
again a private individual.
