With the molt fincere and perfeft cor

• xpritlions of lulicttude for the preferva*
tion <*l that Ipirit of union, which is “ the
vital principle of liberty and which is
a^. dTential to the fecurity of our political
iuftftutions, as is the power of attraction
to the harmony of the planetary fyftem.—
An iudiiihluble union among the States,
" bo are parties to tlit great national coin
oa<$, \ve confidi-r us not lefs indifpenfable
to our peace and profperily, than an unity
of fe raiment Si action among the people, to
the defence of the libcrt:es fecured to them
ov th»-ir conftiiu’ion. The man who fhall

whatever maybe hisprereofionsofpatriot

our public profanity, and merits the de
li fiation and abfiorence of his country.
However alarming may have been the
indications of irreconcilable divilion a
uiong the people of the United Stater, yet
w- are not without hope, that the nearer
approach of impending danger would
find them ur tec , with a fingle heart, to
repel every foreign encroachment on their
bb-. rty and independence. However por
tentous may have boen the progrefs of
this disorder, our reliance upon the intel

is no* yet incurable, and that a courfe

In contributing to this mod deArable

who to eminently contributed by hif revo

the Senate, proffer to your Excellency a
L/.ral degree of confi ience, and receive,

At a cnlis not :eis alarming than the

Shall we net then be prompted by the
ptiociplc* of (elf preferiation, to witch
$: motion ;, that wc m f Jh :n the irflu
o Cc uf thoUe overgrown powers who for
Wc molt cheertully concur in the lenti- J
ment of your Excellency, that “ hufband
ry and commerce are the two great pillars
or the Commonwealth, and that not a
right of either ought to be invaded or im
paired, whillt (he, in fubordination to the
General Government, has an arm to pro
tect them.” The diftreffes we have endur
ed from the fufpenfion of the o«e, and the
confequent deprellion of the other admon
ish ns, that a? we cannot long exift with
out the 4‘ aid” of thefe “ natural allies,”
even war, with all its calamities, is to be
preferred to a pernnnent abandonment of
either.
The embarraflments which have refus
ed from the unprotected Hate of our com- 1
mcrce during the prefent war in Europe,
and which, at different periods, have dri
ven ns to the very verge of open hoftilities
with both the belligerents, cannot we be
lieve, have Jeft a ** fohtary doubt” in the
mind of any lincere and intelligent friend
of his country, that a fyftem of maratime
defence will be our only efficient fecurity
againft the future infults and aggreffions of
contending nations.
The Senate are deeply imprelTed with
the importance of rendering every poffible
facility to the promotion of military difei
pline. Our pacific policy having provid
ed no other fyftem of national defence, the
exiftingftate of things, imperioufly demands
of us, at the prefent moment, more than
ordinary attention to the organization,
equipment and difciplinc of the militia; Sc
your Excellency may reft affured of our
zealous co-operation in any practicable
mcaf'ures which may be fuggefted for that
purpofe.
1 he alacrity with which the Legiflature
cf Maffiichufetts have, at ad times, con
tributed to the advancement of “ religion,
literature, morality andthefocial virtues,”
will, we truft, be deemed a lufficient pledge
to your Excellency that, during the pre
fent year, the Senate will not be unmindful
offthefe primary duties, & that their atten
tion will be unremittingly directed to thefe
moft important and efTential interefts of
the Commonwealth.
As our coiledive and individual happi
^lrfsrtfts almoft cxclufively on the fupport j
ni religious and literary inftitutions, the
Senate will be prompted, at all times, by
a lenfe o^perlbnal as well as official duty,
to regard them as the objeds of their firft
and moft folemn confkferation.
So tar as “ induftry and economy,” ap
plied to the exttnfion of ufeful manufac
tures, require the ftimulus ofLegidative
patronage, we (hall, at all times, be ready »
to concur, with the other branches of the
government, in appropriate meafures for
their encouragement anid reward.
Every enterprize which may tend to di
minilh our dependence upon foreign na
tions, is a laudable effort of patriotifm, &
in the prelent condition of the world, has
a peculiar claim to the foftering aid of that '
Government, which regards the indepen
dence of the people as the laft boon they
wiil be willing to furrender.
The Senate duly appreciate ** the nu
merous b'effings, political, civil and reli
gious,” which, amid fo many perils and
difafters, have been yet continued to us by
a kind and indulgent -Providence. In a
firm, but humble reliance on the future
protection of Heaven, they beg Itave to
repeat their aiiurancesof a cordial fupport
in every exertion to advance the beft in
terelts of their conftituents, and to offer
their fervent prayers, that your Excellen
cy’s admiuiftration may conduce to your
' individual honor and happinefs. and to the
dignity, order and tranquilly of the Com
1 munwealth.

During this unprecedented ftrnggle, it j
is the firft duty of the government to pre

'of open hoftilitics with one of the Bellig

, Such a courfe is the more obvioufly ne

that in this conflidt of extermination, even

the arbitrary will of a government, which

that every nation (ball be fubfervient to the

CALL OF COMG "ESS
The news of the day is, that Con
gress is to be immediately convened by
proclamation. The President, it is
said, waited only for the arrival of the
John Adams to determine on the course
he would pursue. The John Adams
has arrived, and we shall, of course
soon know whether Congress are to
meet immediately, or not. The next
question is, why do they meet ?—
What will they do ? Will they lay
another permanent embargo ?—No.
The country has already decided a-1
gainst embargoes. Will they declare
war against France i No. There is
a strong party in this country in favor
of Napoleon—Congress dare not of
fend that party. Will they declare war
against England ? No. A majority of
the people are opposed to such a meas
ure. What then will they do ? They
will make flaming war speeches:
They will promise loud curses and
anathema’s against England, and whis
pers of dijapprobation against France:
They will propose and discuss, for ma
ny days, the old exploded system pf
commercial and social restrictions ;
but be careful to avoid them. They
will talk of Wilkinson’s late army ;
but will be sure to have no army of
useless officers. They will bring for
ward resolutions relative io the navy,
but suffer what few ships we have to
rot in the mud of the Fvtomac. They
will bring in bills providing ior arming
and disciplining the militia ; but tin;
militia will never be armed nor disci
t» 1 .N . ....
plmed— l hey will be lo;ul in fovour
of fortifications, but grant no money
for their erection.—They will talk a
little aliout gun-boats, and a great deal
of torpedoes. They will propose direct
taxes ; but they dare not Jay them.
1 hey will hold caucuses to influence
the elections :— They will make ar
rangements to promote the views of
the ruling party, at the expence of the
nation. They will authorise another
loan—and adjourn.—They will do ev
ery thing hut what they ought to do.—
1 hey will tremble before the “ super
eminent roblor of Europe*’ when they
o gl.t to oppose him like men. They
will deliberate when they ought to act,
am! hesitate when they ought to de
termine. They will, in fact, do as ev
ery other government has done which
has attempted to court the frienship of
the Corsican tyrant—they will suffer
I the energies of the nation to be parali
; zed by f'wlish experiments, and to fall
| an easy prey into the jaws of the de
YQiircr.

FROM EUROPE.
On the 22d of April, the British and
Spanish forces were compelled to abandon j
the important post of Montagarda, in the
neighborhood of Cadiz. This event will af
ford the French considerable advantage in
carrying on the attack upon that city.
The British continue sending troops into
Portugal, and the French forces upon the
frontiers are making movements, to com
mence an attack upon that kingdom.
Bonaparte at the last dates was at Dun
kirk, accompanied by his new wife.
In England, little or no mention is made
of American affairs. Sir Francis Uurdett
continued quiet in the Tower, and his con
duct was becoming unpopular with his
friends in Parliament.
In our last we mentioned the arrival of
the U. S. fiigate John Adams, bringing
despatches from General Armstrong, our
minister in France. The correspondence
betwixt Gen. Armstrong and the Duke of
Cadore, has been published in the National
Intelligencer. We regret it is not in our
power to publish these documents in this
day’s paper—they will be given in ournext.
—The information received from France
by the John Adams, does not afford the
least prospect of a settlement with Bona
parte. The determined hostility of the
Emperor of France is now known to our
government in an official form, yet Mr.
Madison’s paper says that “ the despatches
add but little to our stock of information!9 Bv
this, it would seem, our government long
since knew the real situation of our affairs
with France. The editor of the Newyork
lleiald remarks—
'* Mr. Armstrong told them so in Febru
ary lb(J8-He told them there was no
hope. And with a spirit becoming an A
merican expected our government to tale
its ground. Our government knew the tie
sition of Napoleon,—They knew when he
had once taxen his^-o: >m that lie would not
recede. Did they lake their ground ? No
—they flattered the people with false hopes
—they cried peace when they knew there
was no peace !—They Instructed General
Armstrong to disgrace himself and his
country, by mean and pitiful supplications,
which at length produced the insolent let
ter of the Due de Cadore. The haughty
uuke, to prevent our government from sup
pressing his insult as well as pocketing the
affront, took care to publish the letter to
the .world, before it was presented to our
minister. This insolent letter was publish
I ed ,n th's country long bef >re the adjourn

cial stamp and the good friends of France
dec a ed it to be a British forgery. It
would not do to stamp it then, it would

! MR SHIRLEV,
( I notice among other proceedings of ct *
wise and economical democratic house
representatives, that on the irst day of rhe
session, an order came down from the S<
| a‘e* directing the secretary and cleiks \ »
, advertise for slated proposals to execute the
I State Printing, and engage those printers
w!«o should offer the lowest terms ; but the
^democrats in the House refused to concur
Now this conduct does not accord with the
I rofessior.s of democrats. Thev pretended,
if they came into office, the} would be
rv cartful of the People’s Moncv. Now I
find this in all stuff. I find the fact is,that
i the Chronicle, and other demo printers
having lied men into power, expect ur.d
must have their reward. And l | resume
the reason why the House refused to con
cur in the proposal for letting those do the
printing who would do if ihc cheapest, was
for fear some one might underbid the Chro
nicle or Pat riot. But we ought to expect
that under democratic rulers, in some way
or ot’aer, tlie people must be *kmner\i!
PLAIN DEALING
The Jeffersonians in the United
States, are truly in a lamentable pre
dicament. Between them and the
federalists, there has never been anv
fellowship. Those of the party out of
Congress, rail at those of the party in.
The Irish editor, who formerly seemed
to like them exactly in proportion to
the weakness or wickedness of their
measures, has at length turned a
gainst them. And, to crown the
whole, the great Colonel Duane, hav
ing resigned his commission in the ar
, my, appears to be making preparation
to attack them without even the small
degree of mercy, which his office
might be supposed to have imposed
upon him. Alas ! for poor Mr. Ma
