^' Our readers will recoiled, that in June last
% we fuggefted,that the repairs put on the French
sloop of war Le Berceau would amount to
_ 70,000 dollars:—The public may also remem
ber that on the next day the Chronicle, with its
& vfual regard to decency arid " good-breeding,"
er flatly contradicted us, and gave out, as from
one having authority, that thole repairs had not
^amounted to 3000 dollars. But mark, reader,
nd how a plain tale will put down Chronicle affer
ty tions! Mr. Madison, Secretary of State, in an
Q estimate delivered to the Prefilent the 11th of
ty this present instant, at the foot of the expences
necessary for carrying into effect the Convention
with France, fays, " The REPAIRS put upon

The Editor of the National Intelli
gencer (The official paper) fays—
" The speech of Mr. Morris was un
qaeflionably one of the most splendid
# specimens of eloquence ever delivered
in a deliberative aflembly. As to
Mr. Morris' eloquence, we cannot
jftdge, but are of opinion his speech was
a molt impressive, argumentative, and
solemn one : And had reason held her
empire, the constitution had not been
, violated, nor the " fate of America
committed to the mercy of time and
chance."
We are sorry Mr. Tracy's did not
' come in feafou for this dayh paper.
DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY
is, truly laughable According to the ,
statement of Mr. Madison we are to
pay THREE HUNDRED and FIF
TY THOUSAND DOLLARS to
, France! and for what? The answer
'is, for difmantiing a few of her pira
ting sloops and schooners in the Weft
fndics in the defence of our commerce.
While ihejud claims of our merchants
for t<wei;ty imltiotn of dollars, arc con
signed to oblivion The Judiciary Sys
tem also, which was instituted to pro
, led the weak against the strong, the
poor against the rich, and the oppress
ed against the oppressor, which render
-1 ed us respectable at home and abroad,
and which added to our felicity by less
ening the frequency of crimes,is torn to
pieces, because it colls fifty thousand
<dollars annually (which is a large efti
wnate) to fopport it—which is but one
fniferable cent a man.
These are the Iteps taken, to ren
* der us a united, happy, great, and dig
nified people !
