We have reason ,to believe by intelli
gence from other quarters, that the cruelty
imputed to the Ladrones is greatly exag
gerated. We know that they are more
bent upon recruiting than on exterminating,
Mud this Indeed accounts for their sur
prising increase. As to the Chinese gov
ernment soliciting the assistance of the
East-ladia Company to crush those rebels
they are not able to subdue, we do not be
lieve that they are yet sufficiently currd of
that empty pride attending weakness, to
confess their imbecility, Mod attend to the

< every reason to believe that they must
come to this sooner or later, and much to
the advantage of thio country.

A SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.
How many tragical events take place,
from trusting to the care and discretion of
very young children •. The following is a
fatal and warning instance, which occured
at Marblehead, on Thursday evening last.
A woman by the name of Jones left her
daughter, of six yeasfiMd, at home to keep
house, while she herself was absent at a
night meeting. A person, passing by, ob
served an extraordinary light in the cham
ber, and being alarmed went in; when he
found the child (who it is supposed had
been overcome by sleep) laying on the floor
wrapped in flames. She lived in great
agony till the next day and then expired.
Her body was burnt in '< manner too shock
fog to be described The living worms
Wore seen retreftin>, i e»n the heat through
her mouth and nostrils.

H ” Afceon’a Ab. 2,” *ll amended, pass
ed, signed, and is a law. Il contains four
sections:—The Ist and 2d prohibit British
and French armed vessels (with the usual
exceptions) entering the waters of the
United States, and interdict all paciflck in*
tercourse with them, should they enter.—
The 3d provides for the recovery of all
penalties, dec. incurred under the Embargo
Laws, and the Non-Intercoume Act;' and
the 4th section, enacts, that if either
Great Britain or France, before the 3d of
March next, shall revoke or modify their
edicts, the President shall notify the fact
by proclamation ; and* if the other nation
do not within three months revoke or modi
fy her edicts, then the Non-Intercourse
Law shall take elect as tq the nation so
refusing to revoke; and thdfabifck armed

The New-Orleans Gazette of the Sth ult.
■ays “ It is stated on the authority of letters
from Natchez, that General Hampton has
given the command of the troops to Colonel
Cushing, and is about to proceed to the
northward for the benefit of his health.'*
We steadily predicted the general result
of the contest between France and Austria.
It was our opinion, indeed, that if the Span
iards and the Austrains, as two great na
tions, operating in different quarters at one
and the same time, would quit themselves
like men, even the Colossal power of
France would be found inadequate to their
complete subjugation. As applied to great
if not to small nations, the celebrated
aphorism of La Fayette, ” For a nation to
be free, it is sufficient that she wills it,” Is
undoubtedly correct. But thu will must in
truth be the will of a nation, a people en
ergetick and undivided, a people, like the
French themselves, “ one and indivisible.”
It is not the momentary glow of patriotism,
it is not the evanescent spirit of heroick
seal, bursting out in cities and vilages, un
connected, isolated, it is not a few truly
Spartan characters, a Palafox, a Blake, an
Alvares, that can resist with success the
mighty rulers of mighty Empires, ” wield
ing at will the fierce artillery” of great
and potent armies, led by the Hero, Cour
age, and managed by the Sage Discipline.
Austria is still a great military power, but
not great enough to contend with France.
Her efforts were those of a strong man
armed, but they were in vain. The genius
of Germany was rebuked by that of Gaul.
A giddy girl, dazzled by the splendid idea
of becoming the first Empress on theXvlobe,
will seal the servitude of Europe, perhaps
of Asia. Not that a family connexion in
itself would amalgamate the power of
France and Austria ; but, in the present
instance, the matrimonial union of the Arch
Duchess Maria Louisa with Napoleon the
Great, will be the most conclusive evidence
of the complete devotion of her country to
all the projects of her husband. It results
from the relative situation of the two coun
tries at this moment, and the peculiar
circumstances of the times. Napoleon, for
a time, will be more powerful than if
Austria were in name, as well as in fact, a
province of his dominions.
It is true, no doubt, that Russia will soon
change her politicks. Cui bono I What
good will result from it to the great and
permanent interests of mankind ? Ndt an
atom. France and Austria will be fearful
odds again-t Russia and Turkey, even if
the ancient country of the ambassadour with
sixty-three children, be thrown into the
same scale. If those powers do not fall,
they must succumb. The wooden walls of
Albion cannot save them. There are, in
deed, in the natural constitution of man
kind, and in the natural current of events,
very powerful if not insuperable obstacles
to the acquirement of power absolutely
boundless, by any single individual. Cli
mate is perhaps the most powerful of them
all. Although the French have hitherto
been able to live in every country and in
every clime, yet it is possible that ” the
vitsl air, the all surrounding heaven,” may
one day be ” big with death” to them, upon
the plains of the Euphrates. As to the
continent of Europe, the present prospect
is that Napoleon will rule it as he pleases.

The Devil of Democracy is now riding
his circuits. He has already taken his
route through Massachusetts, Rhode-Isl
and, New-Hampshire and New-York; but
Connecticut still continues fe bid him defi
ance. While our political opponents blus
ter and look big at the triumphs they have
lately obtained over virtue, honour and
federalism, we beg leave of thenh to look
for a moment to the security of their own
ranks. The Baltimore Whig and Duane’s
immaculate Aurora are outrageous with
the President for not having made us the
slaves <>f France as rapidly Ms they had
reason to expect. The truth is, that our
jacohins are now what they ever have
been—monarchists in disguise ; they are
the pimps of French aggrandisement, and
nothing but the incompetence of Bonaparte
to subjugate them, prevents them from en
joying that state of which they
are now sighing after. St, Tammany and
Bonaparte are two savages that have a
fellow-feeling for each othqr.

Since the adjournment of Congress the
southern democratick papers have com
menced violent attacks on the National
Administration. The Baltimore ” Whig"
has addressed an essay to Mr. Madison by
name, in the truy M Liberty and Equality”
style; has denominated him King Log,*'
and charged him with gruss neglect of
duty. A n °ther democratick paper of that
city thus sneers at Congress. ” War, Em

solved by Congress, were alone to be re
sorted to. It oeemo here hat been a mis

of filth and scurrility. But it will be re
membered, it is such partisans as this
'* man, who have deceived and be
trayed the people of the United States by
their bold and licentious falsehoods. It is
such men, who are continually reviling the
federalists of Massachusetts, and charging
them with opposition to the government,
because they have vindicated their rights
in a constitutional and decent manner :—lt
is such men who have inflamed the publick
mind with the false and scandalous charges
that the appeals made by the patriots of
New-England to the g t >od sense and re
sponsibility of Congress, were designed to
effect a separation of the States, and to es
tablish a Northern Confederacy—a charge
as foolish as it is false ! And having par
tially succeeded in one attempt, they are
now turning their artillery against Con
gress ; and seem resolved to degrade every
thing American. Native Americana, read
the following extracts from this democrat
ick •• Whig” with attention, and judge
from this specimen, the troth of prior
charges :•*»
The following is a specimen of the man
ner in which the Constituted Authorities
of the United States are treated by import
ed “ Pat-Riots," whenever those rulers do
not •• toe the mark" prescribed by these
champions of democracy. And because
these re viler* are aliens and democrats,
their abuse is passed over with impunity.
The “ Whig,” from which the extracts
are m.ide, was sat up and patronized by
the Smiths, and other straps of the ad
ministration, as the “ Aurora” of Balti
more, and of course the reviler of Wash
ington, and all who practice on his prin
ciples ; and the sycophantick eulogist of
Jeffersonian men and measures : And while
Congress were madly bellowing loud for
war against England, none were more ser
vile in their praises than this same import-"
ed “ Whig." But, forsooth, because the
“ still small voice” of reason, conscience,
justice, common sense and national inte
rest have been heard within tha walls of
the national legislature, and, in conse
quence, the commerce of the United States
has been unshackled, and can now whiten
the ocean with its canvass, this renegade
“ Whig" empties upon them all its syringes
commercial men exhibited when they first
assembled hero, and the Ignorance in which
they were kept by those on whom they rely
for information, it is a miracle that they
have been directed to do no worse, or
rather so well as they have done. Though
they are too obstinate to confess the truth,
yet their looks and actions all show that
in their souls they are convinced of the
folly, stupidity and wickedness of many of
the utopian schemes which Jefferson taught
them would bring Europe (meaning Eng
land all the time) on her marrow-bones ;
but which the deciples of Washington fore
told with prophetick precision, would even
tuate in the impovishment and disgrace of
the United States! They feel they have
removed commercial and agricultural en
terprise from its successful courses, and
retarded the prosperity and real strength
of the nation, for ten years at leastßut
this is not the worst—these may be recover
ed by wisdom, patriotism, and a change
of system {—whereas England and France
have been taught by their fetal experi
ment—that they eondo well without «•
a lesson which we ought to have kept for
from their knowledge. Almost every one
of Jefferson’s favourite schemes are ex
ploded by most of his late Worshippers;
many of whom are converts to the opinion,
that commerce d« the stay of agriculture,
and the source of national wealth and pros
perity; and that, protection alone can be
its guarantee.’*
The People—yes, that same mighty
sovereign the People, now inquire what
have you'done I. ... ..... , ,

ashes, ye unprofitable oervanto-
Hang your harps upon the willow*— and

may yet be saved.

we have no national government. Oui
only hope is, that qffairs will soon be so
completely entangled as to compel us again
to resort to something like energy, law
and government. 'Things must become
worse, before they grow better. Foreign
contempt and outrage must work ourcure.”
Again he says—** But the most charm
ing reflection is the preservation of our na
tional monoua I in favour of which 5000
flaming absolutions have been passed
in and out of Congress since June 22, 1807,
and 100,000 boiling spkhcmbs have been
uttered most vehemently in the same space.
Our name is become a terrour to all the
nations of the earth—ant), the very lions of

“ One thing, however, they have done—
they have shown that they are the most

them than I had before entertained. They
might have attached the convoy provision
tothe bill, without striking out the other
section. I had FORMERLY supposed
General SMITH was friendly to dome stick
