Commissioners’ Notice.
FRESH FLOUR.
Likewise for aale.
other subjects of publick concern,
which are prcseuti d toCongressby the Pre
sident, in his Message at the opening of the
present session, that of establishing a n .-
tional university at the seat of government
is noticed. The Jeffersonian sing-song of
canals, bridges, and turnpike roads is suf
ficed to sleep for the present, probably un
til we have enriched our Treasury by th.
operation of our own*Ramboui)let Decree,
and are better able to cope with this branch
of Mr. Fulton’s Torpedoism. In the mean
litne, as a College will cost less, and as
there are, and fdrever will be, vacant lots
in the city of Washington, which can be
appropriated to this object, it will at least
serve to fill up a vacant lot in the Message
to put it in. Not only so, but it will go to
a committee in the House of Representa
tives, of which, we take the liberty to sug
gest, that either the Hon. Mr. Root, of New-
York, or the Hon. Mr. Seaver, of Massa
chusetts, or the Hon. Mr. Smilie, of Penn
sylvania, or the Hon. Willis Alston, of
North-Carolina, or the Hon. Dennis Smelt,
of Georgia, will make an excellent chair
man, and a report must be made, and then
it must be talked about, and all that, which
will be a rri itter of no small importance.*
Such an institution,” says the Presi
dent, ” though local in its legal character,
would be universal in its beneficial effects
By enlightening the opinions : by expand
ing thi patriotism : and by assimilating the
principles, the aentimenta, and the man
nera of those who might resort to this tern
pie of science, to be redistributed, in due
rime, through every part of the communi
ty ; sources ofjealousy and prejudice would
be diminished, the features of national
r would be multiplied, and great
er extent given to social harmony. But
above all, a well constituted seminary, in
the centre of the nation,' is recommended
by the consideration that the additional in
struction emanating from it would contri
bute not less to strengthen the foundations,
than to adorn the structure of our free
and happy system of government.”
This is probably the ” National Insti
tute,” once more hashed up and seasoned
by royal cookery. Uniter the reign of Mr.
Ji ffe. son, Joel Barlow, the “puritan,'' made
an attempt to procure a College established
at Washington, under a Chancellour, If we
recollect the title, who doubtless was to be
no les* a man than the pi qjector himself,
Then soft enchanting slumbers calm—
My heavy cy elid’s ch.se,
And on my hu'.nble bed 1 sink
To most profound repose :
Save that, by fits, the scenes of day
Come glancing on my sight.
And, touch’d by Fanci’s magick wand,
Seem visions of delight.
And t! my humble cot
Will chec?*My
Ah ! now I see the smoke ascend * '
From forth the glimmering thatch,
Now my healt beats at every step,
And now I lift the latch!—
Now, starting from my blazing hearth,
My little children bound,
And loud with shrill and clam'rous joy
Their happy sire surround!
How sweet, when night first wraps the world
Beneath her sable vest,
To sit, beside the crackling fire,
With weary limbs at rest;
And think on all the labours past,
That mom’s bright hours employ’d—
While all that toil and danger seem’d
Is now at home enjoy’d.
The wild and fearful distant scenes,
Lone covert: whistling storm,
now, in Mem’ry’s mellowing eye,
To wear a softer form ;
Ami while my wand’rings I describe,
As froths the nut-brown ale,
Mi dame, and little list’ning tribe,
With wonder hear the tale.
1 hrouoh the long morning I have toil’d,
O’er heath and lonely wood,
And cross the dark untrodden glen, •
The fearful game pursued.
But deeper now the guth’ring clouds,
Collect along the sky,
And, faint and weary, warn my steps
I'heir homeward course to hie.
And now the driving mist withdraws
Her gray and vapoury veil,
I mark again the sacred tow’r
I pass’d in yonder dale i
A little while, and I shall gain
Yon hill’s laborious height,

NIGHT.
LEANDER.
Waving, if you please, the question of •»
doubtful right, neither the principles of
psiblick. law, justice, humaijty, or honour,
will support Mr. Madison in his forcible
seizure of West Florida, in the present
condition of the Spanish nation. They
who rail at England for the capture of the
Danish fleet at Copenhagen, should blush
to see their own government bid defends
to the opinions of nations, and avail itself
of the difficulties of a stale, by purloining
a piece of territory, when its /Josirtsor, .
and perhaps rightful owner,-was unpre- '
pared or unable to defend it, and had rh
fered it to negotiation. A parallel drawn
het ween the cases, which would cite all
the existing circumstances, would leave
*uch shades of disccrnablt difference, that
modesty would decline to boast of them.
But as to the question of right, ovet
lookiug the equity of the case, a court of
law would decide that the ]gi ant of Louisi
ana, by Spain to France, was not only Ille
gal, but hid been rendered void by the
failure of the grantee to execute his part
of the contract. We shall not contend, that
in point of law it was a AWmn Factum,
or that fraud, bribery, or duress appearing
upon the face of the deed, would void th*
contract; hut the case rests upon the more
substantial basis, of an unexecuted agree
ment on the part of France. The case is
correctly stated as follows
During the administration of the traitor
Godoy, while Spain was an ally of France,
Louisiana and the Floridas, not by conjurer,
but by an extorted front, fell into the
hands of the French Emperour. But, we
state upon high authority, that France
bound herself to pay whet igM ductntd by
the ether contracting party ad\ydequute
firice, for the cession of Louisian* and the
Floridas. The price was ** the erection of
Etruria into a kingdom, end the guarantee
of it to an Infanta of Spate/* Whether <
sound price or not, it Is bf no consequence
•
which College was intended io swallow up j
all other Colleges in the nation. Tb«
scheme was easily seen through, exposed,
and overthrown. Now the President think' j
that a seminary may be formed, which,
“ by expanding the patriotism, and
fating the principles, the aentimenta, and*
the manner a" of the students, may bees*
sentially useful in the country. We under- >
stand this to be nothing more n<>r less, than
a plan to erect a manufactory qf democrat
cy— true Jrffi rsonian democracy / which
when once well woven and dressed. Is " t 9
be redistributed through every part of
the community. n If this is not the scheme,
•vhat in the name of wonder is it ? Surely
no man in his sober senses would think of
catabltehing a Uiuvcrtiiy at Was
for the put pose of teaching such sefoncK *
as are«ommonly taught In Colleges.
it is merely to “ auperadd” this blessed in
strnctfoo to W hat a youth may receive else
where,“and unfit hlmfor ev/iy thinr that la
lirtnous and praise-worthy In society. f( '*
our government are overburdened with* mfr*
ney, or have a redundancy of " vacantsote**
in the city of Washington, let them rebuild
’heir gun-b«ats, or renew their experi

g
Although we trust in Providence, It I' "
a false calculation, that the fortunes of
Spain are at tbeir lowest ebb, yet the af
'ernpt to take advantage of the calamhle'.
brought on her by the moat horrid perfidy**
and shocking oppressions record-d In his
tory, is disgusting to an honourable mind. '<*
Ii was not sufficient for Mr. Jcffi-rson, la
hi* farewell message, to take a taunting
md oblique notice of her struggle for ex
istence ; the dismissal of Don Onia did not
feed fat our ancient grudge i but Mr.'
Madison has seen fit to refine upon the
perfidy and ingratitqile of France, by rob
bing unhappy Spain of her possessions,
at a moment when she is unable to defend
them. There was a time when the mere
love of national honoer. when political sym
pathy would have armed whole nations hi
Ii fence of the Injured peojile. A similar
occurrence in Europe gave ah* to un«
of the bloodiest continental wars. The
seizure of Silesia, a disputed territory, by
he king of Prussia, on the succession of the
Queen of Hungary, caused the effiision of
more blond, than was wanted to fertilize
her soil. There is something so mean,,
cowardly and inhuman in the act of taking
-dvantage of the moment of a nation’*
ravail, and wresting from her tllat which
was referred to negotiation, that it appeal*
with pathetick ,el. quence to the sympathy
of mankind ; it calls forth the indignation,
.rouses the revenge, and summons all th®
energies of the oppress'd nation in pursuit
of redress.
