ThsSotiety at 13 o'clock accompanied by

1 The srismnitie* of the day were ushered

i
* . Howl AM o, E*q. d divered an appropriate
Address, replete with curiam* historical
. fact, in which the dignity el the mechanick
arts was asserted and maintained with
< great energy of argument and correspond-
ing elegance of language. The sentiments
were bold and original, and illuminated by
examples authoritative and convincing.—
We hope that this Address will be giver
to the poblitk from the press, and we havt
no doubt that the reader would both be
amused end instructed. Tbe audience was
numerous and brilliant, and testified their
pleasure by an attentive and respectful
|\ silence. An Ode was then sun*. after
Y which the Society moved in procession to
j/ Mr. Ammidon’s hotel, where they par
took of a sumptuous repast.
• If our feUow-citisens, at the time their

Jefferson's far-famed embargo, or whet,

abominable enforcing act, should have had
it in'their power, while sore under the op
presaion of such a system, to have repeal
ed it, they would have rejoiced in ah op
portuniiy to hav* relieved themselves from
such embarrassment*. The hsppy period
will very shortly arrive, when our country

sensibility is of itself aa oaten of better
times; it shews that the sons of the heroes I

in defiance <«f clamour and false imputa

to their object a phalanx formidable to ty

it is abused. They know that under the
< Presidency of Mr. Jefferson, tyranny th*
most hideous and alarming assumed the
name of law; they know that nothing but
the vigorous and decided opposition oi
New-England has secured to them that
| remnant of their liberties which thsy no*

animate our friends to persevere and to re
dpnble their efforts. The Prox which we
now publish was made in a spirit of libera)
accommodation, without the sacrifice of
those main point* which it is the sacred
duty of every freeman to contend fora*

to hav* -been rgoaived by Mr. Secretary
S*m7A from Mr. Pinkney, by which we
were given to understand that the British
government disapproved of Mr. Jacksun's
conduct, and were shortly to send another
Minister in bi* stead. The President ws*
desired by a resolution of Congress to give
information on the subject, and in his an
swer be informs them that the Utter above
saicb being private and confidential wan
not communicated. This ban hsppy stroke
of satire on the conduct of the Secretary
<>f State for divslgiog in * newspaper, a
fact, of a nature too confidential to be com
municated to Congress.

In a letter received this morning, by the
