Mr. Dexter, to undertake the duties of Com

PORTLAND, Frß._f6.
Extra& of a letter from a gentleman in the city of
Wajbington to bis friend in tbis town, dated fan.
21, 1801.
" The fire which consumed the Treasury
Office, it is thought, caught in the wood work
too near the chimney, just before Ihutting the
office. After the fire was over, [examined
some of the other rooms, all of which appealed
to me to be liable to similar danger ; and in faft,
I think the building very badly finifhed as it
refpe&s accident from fire.
Though the late burning of public offices
may, to those unacquainted with tircumftances,
look fufoicious, yet I have not the least suspicion
from foes either within or without^ 'I oan fee
cause enough for apprehension, and only won
der at the want of precaution in the mode of
building."
Oliver Wolcott—May he in retirement, re
ceive that which alone can Reward his diiin
guifhed public fcrvices ; the esteem of all good
men, and the gratitude of his country.
The following volunteers were then drank.
By Major Pinckney—Otium cum dignitate
to retiring merit.
"By 7 ud ^ e Livermore —The true Republicans of
America, who hold law, religion and order es

Mr. Harper—The federal party ; public

“ There was a general clamour last
evening at the Coffee-Houfe, against the
conduct ofthe N. Providence privateers.
Some gentlemen thought it would be
advifeable to call a meeting of the mer
chants and underwriters for the pur
pose of fending a memorial to Congress.
It was mentioned by an extensive un
derwriter, that the different offices of
this city had received news that day of
captures to the amount of 500,000 dol

It is suggested to the Merchants and

NEW-YORK, FEB. 0
A French Commissioner from G,
our government, we are inform,'
this city on Wednesday morn,
to ths city of Walhin^on'.^
It is believed, though Mr. Burr has
been supported by the antifederal par
ty, yet if elected President, that he will
not support the Virginia politics ; that
he will have, and exercise opinions of
his own ; that he will endeavor to pre
serve the energy of the general govern
ment ; and maintain the independence
of the Executive.
The federalifts cry out—we are ru
ihed ! In reply, let it be inculcated,
that the man who utters the sentiment
degrades himfelf and his country. To
suppose it in the power bf one man or
twenty to ruin a country, is a sarcasm
on all others, and a reproach that dd
ferVes censure. A change of adminis
tration may create eyils—but little do
then think how frall are the evils bf
the word administration compared
with the mass of drength, virtue and
prosperity of a nation.
Away with such language—-the
winnings of meanness and cowardice !
If our anxious fouls would rail left and
ftndy more, the, would have a chance
of doing their country some good : or
at least they would give the public less
trouble. Their anxiety calls to mind
the faying of the Spartan king Agis,
who, being tbld that the laws were in
fringed and Sparta ruined, replied,
fmilirig, “ That is dbubtlefs true ; for
when I was a boy, I heard my father
fay that when he was a boy he heard
my grandfather fay the fame thing."
1 CbaraQers are created by circumflenfes.
We venerate a Washington, an Adams,
a Pendleton, a Jay, an Elsworth ; but
if these men had been never known;
other men would have been called to
ad their part, and with equal celebrity.
The Democrats boasts of a Jefferfon,
a Clinton, a'Madifon. These men are
of diftinguilhed reputation certainly—
but if these men did not exist, their
places would be filled with men of e
qual talents. There are at this moment
in the United States, two hundred
thousand men, who, with the fame ed
ucation, and opportunities of a&ion,
would completely fill the places of any
fifty of the most illustrious men this
country has produced. They live and
will die in obfeurity, solely because
they have not the means of improving
and ekerting their minds. The demo
crats exalt their Man Jefferfon to the
heavens, —but incefTant encomiums
throw around him a glarebf character,
a falfe splendor, that deceives his advo
cates. They will find he is a mere man
—and no wiser nor bettet than thou
sands of others.
SATURDAY, FEBRUAT 21, 1801.
Os the Presidential Election, we ihall, at pre
sent, offer no comment ; as nothing new has
transpired on the fuhje& since our last. In our
next, we fha(l probably be able to fay, WHO
IS, or WHQ IS NO F to be the future Prefi
derit of the United States.
Americans ! Never Dfyair !! !
Nothing demonstrates the narrow
views of men, and .their 'titter unac
quaintance with the„hirtcry of States ±
Governments, like the spirit of despon
dence at eyefy Unfortunate public event.
We are undone ! We are ruined ! was
the language of ffidrt-fighted men,when
Gen. Washington left this world of
venation : As if no man in the United
States survived, who had either intelli
gence or virtue. When the fa<tis, that
Gen. Washington had a less share in
ae-efag the more important mcafures
-f the revolution, than many oth<r
men, who were in the old Congress, and
some of whom are yet lining. His
talent lay, not in originating plans
himfelf, so much as in availing himfelf
of the hints of others, in weighing the
arguments, for and against measures
proposed, feleding the best, and execut
ing the plan fcle&ed, with uncommon
prudence. This talent is one of the
mod ufeful in society ; but without de
rogating in the lead from the merits of
Washington, we may fafely affirm that
multitudes of men, in this country, pos
sess, all the talents for conducting pub
lic affairs, which are neceffiry to insure
a wife and faithful administration.
When the French were abandoned
by La Fayette and Dumourier, every
one cried out, their cause is ruined !—
They are undone ; Our citizens were
looking for news that the Austrians
had marched to Pan's. Yet when one
General was out of the way, another
succeeded of no less talents—and ano
ther—and another.

It is a disagreeable and very unpleasing talk
which necessarily devolves.on publishers of
Newspapers, to be the heralds of the most dis
tressing accounts ; heart rending indeed to be
loved wives & children ; to affectionate fathers,
mothers, brethren, fillers, and near and dear
friends. In discharging our duty at this time,
we have to notice the In's of the valuable Ihip
Charlotte of this port, owned by Col. Eliphalet
Ladd; but if it was the loss of the ffiip and car

pierced—but we arc obliged to add that every

" Commotions have taken place on the eon

Bright rays of truth illume the Studied page,
Point out the faplts of each preceding age:

Whole nations in her sacred cause combines ;
Inflrubtive fable, aiding, marks the way,
That leads to brighter and still brighter + day.
