might preperly be di for insulting the
government. The dismissal was predicated
upon the insult not upon the disavowal, and
the only question the case admits of is a -
tion of fact—was the government inwltoz' 'l
say the only question, for no one it is presun:-
<d will at the same time agree that the afiront
was offered and disapprove of the President
for not submitting to it.
The question as to the insult I will now pro
ceed to consider. The insult alleged is, that
Jackson insinuated that our government knew
at the time that Mr. Erskine was not author
ized to make the drrangement as made. That
after our government denied having any such
Lknowledge, Jackson repeated the same insin
uation. That after he was informed that this
repetition was deemed improper and must not
be continued—he replied, in effect, that the
insinvnation was warranted by the fact, and that
hs would persist in it—Such is the insult al
leged to have been given. Is the sllegation
true ¢ It is said Ly the apologists of Jackson,
that our government misunderstood him, for
that he did not make the insinuation imputed
r him. What Jackson has said we all know,
what he meant is best known to himself. He
bimscll, however, has never denied, not even
since his dismissal, so far as the publick are
informed, his having meant nor his having
made the insinuation. If he-wasd-misunder
siood by our government, ‘why did he not say
so to our government ! He was apprized by
thegn of the imterpretation put upon his lan
guage. If his meaning was misapprechended,
why not rectify the misapprehension, and ex
plain bimself? He was thus apprized early
cnough in the correspondence to have pre
vented all diliizulty had he chosen to disclaim
thedmsinuation. Why not do this if it could
with propriety ‘be done ? The question im
plies the mecessary answer—the insinuation
could not be disclaimed. His final reply a
mounts to an explicit admission that our gov
ernment bad understood himself correctly on
this point.
But as the apologists of Jackson affect to
understand his meaning, better than our gov
ernment did, or than Jackson himself, let us
look into the correspondence and see how
they are borne out in argument.

Notice of Mr. Potter's Speechyin the Hovse of
Representatives of the United Siates, on the
Subject of Mr. Giles' Resolution.
During, the days in'which the republicans
had the ascendancy in this stste, the federal
ists ‘were dncessant in their clamours agzinst
our representatives: they were described to
be mere iliots, ignorant of the interest of their
constituents, totally jncapacitated to represent
their wrongs, or letd the least aid in redres
»sing their grievances. Defeated in our last
election, we found, however, some consola
tion in the reflection that we had able men to
rcprescit usy our political opponents were
willing to vouch for ‘their integrity. We
have not yet been mistaken in our opinions of
their integrity ; the part they have acted has
afforded us demonstrations that the ideas we
entertained of their political principles were
not eironeous. .We knew them to be hostile
to the former administration ; their conduct
has shewn them to be hostile to the present:
under such a consideration we opposed their
election. But if possessed of the talents which
their partizans ascribed to them, we finally
hoped that rather than surtender our rights or
subscribe to a state of colonization, their tal
ents would be talled forth in vindication of
their country’s homour und independence. It
is true a vesolution has fiot yet been submitted
to Congress, in express terms; whether we
will surrender our rights or not ; although the
one under discussion in the House of Repre
sentatives is in close affinity with such a reso
lution, and has been proncuriced by many to
be no moretthan one grade removed from it.
The last gleam of hope which we once had of
our representatives’ attachment to their coun
try, has almost disappeared. One of them
Jhas already declared his utter aversion to this
sesolution. A
It shall be our province, in the observatiorns
which we shall now offer to the publick; to
make a few comments upon the principles
which Mr. Potter has disclosed in his late
speech. Butas our representatives have been
celebrated ond almost canonized fof their tal
ents by those who elected them to the respec
tive ofices which they now fill, we wili ob
serve that Mr: R. Jackson has given us a spe
cimen of his talents in a speech which he
read last winter—such an one as would dis
grace a school-boy of ordinary capacity. [o
make any pemarks in regard to the talents Mr.
Potter has displayed in his speech, would bé
deemed an insult upon the understauding of
every individaal who has read it. All haye
been uniform ip their opinion as to its deficien
cy in style, grammar, argument, and order.
1 hig opinion has been formed of the Speech
which has been given us in the papers of this
state ; none ¢¢ which have presented it to us,
verbatim, as publ{,vbed in the Intelligencer.
Presuming that Mr. Potter embraced the op
portunity which js given to the members in
general, of correcting their speeches, what
must it bave been in its oviginal state 11 A
greeablc to the rules of Aristotle, it has a be

scntences in a state of collistun, and the whole
speech taken together is a tissue of nonsense.

Republicans ‘of Rode-Island,
THE. people of this State will in At:il next have

for the year ersuing. Before making this decision,
they wi(’l of course examine what has been the char
acter and conduct of the mgjority who have been the
vuling party in this State for some time past. That
a great change has tuken place in the winds of the
Freemen respecting this character and conduet, the
result of the last choice of Members of the House
of Representatives is a sufficient evidence. Allthat
remains to be determined is, whether the alterations
then made are to be continued, until a radical change
of men, which may eficet a clunge of messures, ,
shall be brought about. Whether this ‘%ate is to be
any longere the miserable instrimcent of an opposi-.

manag+d in a fur different manner, the records of its
General Assembly manifest, in a way, that now en
forces conviction even upon those whose passions
blinded them to the light, in the midst of the fur.
ous whirlwind of anarchy, and terrour, and delusion,
raised in the Baste n*States during the course of the
lust winter. It is a conclusion which irredupbk'
flows from a candid review of the history of wur af.
fairs, that Mr. Erskwe’s aygrecement whouid never
have been refused v be carvied inte efiect by the
British Government, with the same good fuith: with
which it was execuied by our own Government, had
not the rash repeal of the Embargo been produced
by the storm which was raised sguinst ity afier the
date of Mr. Canniig’s instructions to Mr. Erskine, in
January last, and %clbrc the conclusion .of the a
greement by Mr. Erskinc—a repezl which Mr. Cane
ning had no right to expect when he wroie his des
patches of Junuary.
But passing this by, what shall we say, ‘when the
British Government add to this breach of fiith, the
enoimous insult of sending Juckson licve to propose

On Saturday arrived in this port, the brig
JFactor, Capt. Patch, in 30 days from Cadiz.
We understand by this arrival, that the
greatest jealousy and consternation prevailed
between the %nglish andirauiards—-md that
the Spatish fleet of 20 sall of the line, were
diginantled and haule up—that the people of
property opposed 10 the French, were hastily
endeavouring to sec!ﬁ and go off with ite
that Bonaparte was said to be on his way into
Spain with a_very large force, and that little,
if any opposition would be made to his pro
gress ; and that the present goverfiment
would endeavonr to make the best terms with
him they could: ? . ; % 5
