So fearful are the American factors
in Gottenburg that Bona's underlings
(our great and supereminent good
friends) will take care of their prop

put into a remittable form.-

Ship Gospo/t, Watges, has been
cleared in a Danish Court; but capt.
W. was condemned to pay the costs,
and 400 dollars to the captain of the
privateer that took him for his tr&-

On Tuesday 21st ult. a black girl
about 13 years of age living in the
family of Mr. Davids Anthony, of
Somersett, procured a quantity of
rat's-bane of one of the neighbours,
which she put in a pot of boiling corn.
Mrs. Anthony, three children and
two other persons, who immediately
after partook of the corn, were sud
denly taken sick and narrowly esca
peddeath. On atrial the dext day,
she donfessed the fact, and was com
mitted to gaol for further trial.

BOSTON, SEPT. 12, 1810.
From FRANCE.
Capt. Tucker, who arrived at Mar
blehead on Sunday, was in Boston yes
terday. He informs that the Captains
of American vessels taken by French
Privateers, and who were at Bayonne,
had compromised with the captors, and
that the compromises had been ratified
by the Council of Prizes at Paris.
The terms were in some instances half
the vessel, and half the proceeds of the
cargo; in some the whole of the vessel
and half the cargo. There were no
better terms ; but in some cases where
an estimated sum had been agreed to
be given tp„the captain for his half, by
the reduction in the value of merchan
dize, it had been nearly the whole that
the cargo sold for.
There had been no change favoura#
ble to American property which had
been long sequestered. It was all ad
vertised for sale ; the sale to commence
on the first of August, and to continue
daily till completed.
Several vessels arrived in Spanish
ports direct from America, after the
suspension of the non-intercourse law.
They had all been sequestered and re.
mained so.
There had been a report, some days
previous to the sailing of Capt. T.
that Gen. Armstrong had effected some
arrangement with the French Govern
ment; and the report was renewed the
day of his sailing. It was said, that
American vessels were to be admitted in
French ports with the produce of the
soil and industry of the United States,
excepting tobacdo. There was no
talk of the General's coming home.
Mr. Lee had sailed for this country on
a,visit, leaving his family in France,
and a deputy Consul at Bordeaux. —
Mr. L, sailed 28 days before Capt. T.
A great number of troops had march,
ed through Bayonne into Spain—and
45,000 fresh troops from the North
were passing. They were well eloath
ed, and appeared cheerful, expecting
much booty. It was calculated that
the French had lost in 6 months in
Spain, by disease and the sword, nearly
100,000 men. Great numbers of
Spanish prisoners had been brought
through Bayonne. They were used
very ill. The English prisoners, on
the contrary, had no cause to complain
of their treatment.
The Spring Bird brought despatches
for the French Consul.
Ilas been received at Washington.—
He is Secretary of Legation, and act

ter arrives from England. It is,stated
in the government paper, somewhat
exultingly, that King George had him
self written the letter ithich announ
ced the recall of Mr. Jackson to Pres
ident Madison, the remarks in the
Intelligencer on this subject, though
as usual colored with cabinet littleness,
are more conciliatory than otherwise.

Democrats in their triumph of a
momentary success, proclaimed that
“ the sun of federalism had set forev
er." But this was a mistake ; if it has
set, like the glorious orb to which it
is so aptly compared, it will rise again,
and we once more shall rejoice in the
brightness of its course, while its ge
nial ray shall call forth in abundance
and ripen the fruits of virtue, liberty
and happiness. The mists of democra
cy may have obscured it for a time, but
they have not tarnished its lustre,
much less extinguished its light ; names
may change, the men who hold the
reins of government may be different,
the denominations of parties may be
altered or forgotten, Philo may
rack his inventive brain to deceive the
people, he may fill that vehicle of
fal^hood, the N. 11. Patriot with slan
der, misrepresentation, and abuse, he
may employ his faculties to subvert
the cause of federalism, he may assail
good men with oalumny for the pur
po^ of driving them from power, and
he may be assisted in his appropriate
work by the whole hosts of apostate
Judases in vain ; the sentiments of the
federalists must be adopted, the prin-
Washington, whose views were as no
ble and elevated as their plans were en
larged, the supporters of Adams, the
authors of the Federal government it
self, and of that system of domestic and
foreign policy whereby this nation was
conducted with unexampled rapidity in
the course of honour, prosperity and
happiness, must be again adopted and
adhered to, or the government will fall
to pieces—The effect those princi
ples produced is sufficient to warrant
the assertion. As to foreign nations,
the leading principle of their system is
to preserve peace and amity with all,
by a conduct just, liberal and fair to
wards all; but to grant particular
prove unsuccessful. When the feder
alists were in power they regulated
their conduct by these foaxims, and we
were preserved in honourable peace.
In the management of our domestic af
fairs, (heir system is no less calculated
to produce regularity, prosperity and
happiness, by supporting vigorously
the independence and authority of the
federal government, which alone is ca
pable of ensuring our safety from
abroad, by opposing to foreign nations
the barrier df our united strength, and
of maintaining our peace at home,
by checking the ambition, and repress
ing the passions of the several states,
and balancing their forces so as to pre
vent the greater from overpowering
and subduing the less powerful.

was easy ; but they, by their folly and
rashness have destroyed this fair fabric
of national happiness, and suffered
those establishments which bestowed
on us such unexampled prosperity to
become languid and enfeebled for want
of proper encouragement and support.
Happy had it been for us if no reverse

must have cautioned him against such
irregular proceeding, for (we cannot
imagine the animal had sagacity suffi

the cause by publishing the truth.) —
And in his next number, he instead of
congratulating the Whigs on their suc

rons for disconcerting their tender feel

doubt but that they will forgive him,
as this perhaps is the first truth they
can accuse him of telling, and we have
no doubt—judging from his past la
bours—that it will be the last. But
