INSURANCE from loss or damage by riaE hath been found a measure of great im
-- portanqe to the happiness of families, and has given additional security to commercial
transactions,—The distinguished approbation with which the publick throughout Great-
Britain received the improved system of this office, occasioned frequent application for
the insurance of property in the principal cities and towns in Europe and America, and
I * induced the Company many yean since to extend their plan to the Western Continent.
The Phoenix Company can refer to the unerring teat of experience to ascertain their
character; and, gratified by the unbounded confidence they have obtained upon the
Continent of America, and for the purpose of facilitating to the inhabitants the means of
effecting insurance on their property, the Directors have lately determined to extend
the sum which they have been accustomed to insure in any single risk, and have ar
ranged rates of premium upon the various descriptions of property, which, they trust,
will be found moderate, Just, and equitable.—The promptitude with which this office
ha&adjusted the claims of sufferers, and the solidity of its funds, are so well known, that
it is unnecessary to offer mort on the subject, than to refer those who desire information,
to the merchants of London with whom they correspond.
In this Office no insured person is liable to any call to make good the losses of
2 hers; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified by the Company.—The
ompany also make good losses on property burnt by lightning. •

rnOM tHL FKDERAL ALP USLICA H. I
CHANGE AGAINST FEDERALISM* I
W.AT has occasioned the change against J
federalism Ms a question frequently asked - ]
and seldom correctly answered. It is th* *
effect of arduous and unremkliAg exertion*
enlivened and directed by the executive .
government of the country. The people
in every part of the country have been de
ceived and groskjy imposed upon the
arts and falsehoods which emanated from
Washington City. It is believed that there
would have been no democratick gain M
any State had not misrepresentations been
circulated as to our foreign relations.—The ’
very circulation of the falsehoods M to the
effect of Mr. Jackson’s dismissal, and the
favourable aspect of our affair* in France, i
shews that the democratick party consid
ered it as indispensably necessary to resort
to such means to save themselves. The
Secretary of State has palmed upon the
publick, one of the most profligate fabrica
tions that ever a publick officer was detect- *
ed in, and he has even had the address to
draw certain federalists into his toil, and
has availed himself of their industry in the
capacity of scribes to give notoriety and
probability to his base inventions. Nothing
of the electioneering kind has ever sur
passed the seal of the executive in the
part performed by them to influence the
eastern elections. Their attention has been
almost exclusively turned to the Easter*
States since the commencement of the pre
sent session of Congress; so much so that
nothing has been done in that honourable ,
body since it was assembled. They have
feared to do any act less it might have an
injurious effect upon democratick influence. . ■'
They have held out to the people the de
lusive hope of restoring commerce, whilst
they were irrevokably determined not t«
realise publick expectation. Macon’s bill,
Na 1, was bandied apout the House until
things were decided in New-Hampshire
and Massachusetts, and was then disposed .
of as originally intended. Bill No. 2, U in- •
tended as a peace offering to the commer- ’ ,
rial State of New-York, and as soon as it
c.tin ho longer have any influence upon the
approaching election in that State, it will
be consigned to the same fate.
Should 4re be asked what causes have
produced an unfavourable change to the
Eastward, we answer, the increased irrita
tion which administration has contrived tq
raise against England. The infamous falser
hoods propagated as to the negotiation with
Mr. Jackson, fabricated letters issuing from
the Department of State, and the expecta
tion held out by Congress of a contemplated
favourable change of measures by cur gov
ernment. These things have had a serious
influence upon the mind of many credulous
individuals, and it is no doubt, at all time*
in the power of any administration which
will descend to such scandalous means
forfeit its character for common truth and
honesty, to mislead the people and keep up
the delusion, until tiie repeated detection
in falsehood and dishonesty shall destroy
all confidence in them. It is as certain aa
the motion of the globe, that no party can
continue Jong in power which.is supported
by such base a»d artificial mean* And
when the people shall have their eye*
opened to the maau and disgraceful part
which has been acted by Mr. Madison ami
Secretary Smith, when they perceive that
they have been imposed upna by Aamelesa
falsehoods, they will coptract * disgust for
democracy and its votaries that wIH have
lasting tendency to benefit the nation by
keeping such men always ant of power.
