The constitutionalist — Exeter, N.H., 1810-10-29 00:00:00, page 3

UNANIMITY is not always a com.
. + petent test of party opinions ;in some
cases it is per se, in itself, sufficient ;
for I cannot believe, knowing of no
such instance, that a large body of men,
•whose principles and actions were de
cidedly exceptionable, could for any
length of time, perfectly co-operate.
The more thoroughly I investigate the
tenets of the federal party, the more I
consider their strict union and co-ope
ration, the more firmly am I convinced
of the rectitude of their intentions.
That the most wealthy, the most learn
ed, the most respectable of my country,
should be plotting for her destruction,
any reasonable man must, at the outset,
hesitate to believe. But when one ad
vances somewhat further, when he con
trasts the actions of the two parties,
in time of power ; if he is still back
ward in declaring for the friends of
science, the patfons of commerce, and
invention, his reluctance must and does
arise from wilful perversion of his dis
criminating faculties. When the soul
sickens with thecon templatiou of human
is a federalist—and therefore the deur
ocrats of Sacarappe will not complain.
*lt is but about a quarter of a mile.
Fire. —Yesterday about noon, the
Eagle tavern kept by Mrs. Blood, in
Backstreet, was discovered to be on
fire, inside, and an alarm was given.—
The wind was high at N. W. and a
very extensive destruction was threat
ened, as the fire had attained to a con
siderable height, and many pumps in
the vicinity were found in bad order,
and the springs low :—But by the
very active and intelligent exertions of
the Firewards, and citizens—who on
this threatening occasion retrieved the
reputation which was hazarded at tl^'
late fire in Fish-street —the flames
were confined to the house, the roof,
kitchen part, and the interior of which
only, were destroyed.
BOSTON, OCT. 24, 1810.
London papers to the ,7th Septem
ber have been received. They are bar
ren of events. Nothing said on the
subject of the Orders in Council : but
more despatches frora Mr. Pinkney
have arrived.
" I write to you in haste, my dear
Sarrazin, to acquaint you that a new
royal conspiracy was on the point of
breaking out, had it not been discov
ered by the majority of the Directory,
who were near being murdered. Pi
chegru, Villot, Villaret Joveuse, Ro-
Vere are under arrest. All is going on
veil. The Directory has proclaimed
the punishment of death to any one
who shall cry, Long live thri King, or
the Constitution of 93. This proves
the wisdom and justice of the measures
Used. All the people cry, Long live
the Republic, and so do I.
Your friend,
(Signed) " Bernadotte."
The election of Bernadotte as hen
to the Swedish throne, strengthens the
probability that Massena is intended
for the throne of Portugal.
In 1807, before the French irfvaded
Portugal at all, the Sovereign of that
country, to propitiate Bonaparte, issu
ed a proclamation, excluding from the
Portuguese waters all British vessels,
of commerce as well as war, and estab
lishing a Non.intercourse. But thi,
did not avail,. A French army was
marched into Portugal; and the
Prince Regent was driv,eu from his
country. The territory was wanted
by Napoleon to cut up into Duke
doms for some of his Generals, or to
form a Kingdom for some favourite.
Since the election of this French
General to succeed to the throne of
Sweden, every thing respecting him
has new interest.;
It is whispered in Washington, that
Mr. Smith will resign the office of Sec
retary of State, and that Mr. Monroe
will succeed him. The Country and
the Cabinet will be gainers by the ex
change. It is added, Mr. Smith will
go on to the Supreme Bench, vice
Judge Cushing, deceased.

COMMUNICA TION.
ber, 1797.
KING BERNADOTTE.
From the list of recent appointments
of Post-Masters, we were not a little
surprized to learn that Plumer, the Ep
ping Patriot, had resigned his office to
his frothy' little son Bill. It is to be
regretted the young lad while at college,
was obliged, from false delicacy, to
resign a part of his Christian name.—
Let him by all means resume it, and
stand forth the redoubtable Sir Wil
ham Plumer, juu. Esq. presumptive
heir to all his Papa's fame and useful-
I ness.
LONDON, SEPT. 5, 1810.
At a late Court Circle of Bona
parte's, Gen. Armstrong • introduced
several American gentlemen, one of
whom being understood by the Em
peror to have just returned from En
gland, his Majesty addressed him to
the following purport : ■" Do you
think the British will permit your ves
sels to sail the ocean— you see that I
have removed their apologies for ob
structing your commerce. To be a
I great nation you should sustain your
flag, and sustain it by your cannon."
This our informant states to be a lit
eral translation of Bonaparte's words,
as well as he could collect from his
accustomed rapid delivery. The last
sufferings "through the wild waste of
centuries,'? it is sometimes relieved with
the reflection, that they were, for the
most part, inflicted by the ignorant
and abandoned part of mankind. —
True it is, an Alexander may destroy
and depopulate, but a Robespierre
will not be content with this ; with a
hellish ferocity, he will rush'upon his
devoted prey, tear out its vitals, and
suck the very blood of his victim.
Power is not to be entrusted to the de
signing and unenlightened ; placed in
the hands of the skitful, it is generally
wielded for the happiness of man, but
always^ in the hands of ignorance, it is
a dreadful engine. The bloody sans
culottes did not deny that talents were
necessary for the direction of national
affairs; but these, they thought, be
longed exclusively to the mob. Lib
erte et egalite, was the incessant cry.
The sovereign people possessed quali
ties, which are now found to be the
property of devils, but which were
then thought to be nothing short of
angelick. Big with their favorite level
ing opinions, they cast without dis
crimination, " every thing lovely,"
" every thing of good report," into the
" all-disolving crucible of French phi
losophy," and danced around the con
flagration, to the tune of ca ira. Hine
tllae lacrymm! '
We learn from Natchitoches, that
the Spaniards and Americans, in con
junction, had destroyed the settlements
on the long disputed territory between
the Sabine river and a bayon in the
neighbourhood of Natchitoches.
Such was the full of the French gov
ernment, and such would be the deplor
able fate of our own, were " scoun
drels'once completely " to get the up
per hand."
A TRUE REPUBLICAN.
The convention of Congress is to
happen on the 25th of November, when
we hope something will be d0ne........
to wipe away the stain received last
session, and prove that national energy
does not consist in vaporing.
At a late review in Philadelphia, a
number of spectators were wounded,
by some muskets being loaded with
ball cartridges, owing to a mistake at
the arsenal, whence the arms were de
livered.
Thursday, the first of November, is
appointed as a day of solemn prayer
and thanksgiving in the city of Phila
delphia.
On the 16th ult. the election of J.
Galusha, as Governor, and Paul Brig
ham, as. Lt. Governor, was announced
at Montpelier. On the 18th the Gov
ernor gave a long talk.

sentence Bonaparte pronounced with
hat peculiar emphasis which marks
the decision of his tone and manner ;
and it serves to demonstrate the real
character of his late commercial de
cree, which was evidently issued with
a view to conciliate America towards
France, and to irritate her against
England. Bonaparte asked General
Armstrong, whether he was not go
ing home, and when Congress would
meet? and then passed on to another
part of the circle. The empress was
present at this circle, and our inform
ant states, that her pregnancy is quite
apparent. Her figure he describes
rather as approaching to the en bonne
point than to the slender and delicate,
as we have heretofore understood;
Her demeanor is quite remarkable for
that superciliousness, or as the Syco
phants would call it, dignity, which is
so generally learned in the german
school of royality.—Although so
young, there is something very decid
ed and commanding in the whole man,
ner of Maria Louisa. She appears to
be a woman who, according to the
common phrase, " has a will of her
own." Bonaparte is exceedingly atten
tive to her. That attention, indeed,
is said to have produced a very per
ceptible change in his disposition to
wards business. Bonaparte is, and
has been ever since his marriage, thore
engaged in pleasure, and much less in
closet, than at any former period of
his life. All his leisure hours are
spent with the Empress in reading, in
rural amusements and at the theatre.
His corpulency increases considerably,
but still he appears capable of the ut
most activity. Our informant de
scribes the French cohrt to be,far more
splendid in every respect than any he
had ever seen, heard, or read of.
