protnfcence,
TUESDAY, MARCH 13. 18J0.
It has been the policy of Bonaparte first
to divide and afterwards to conquer.—
Where the government has been hostile
to his ambition and disposed to make a
manly straggle before submission, he then
resorts to the fteofde. He tells them that
they are enslaved by their own rulers; tha»
he comes their deliverer; that the low and
degraded state to which they are reduced j
has often excited in his bosom a wish to
confer on them the blessings of liberty and
independence. The people, fascinated b\ 1
such artifices, astonished at such an in
stance of magnanimity, make a com mtn
cause with him against their own* govern
ment, break out into treasonable acts of io
surruction, and while their rulers have to
withstand a dangerous and mighty enem)
from without, a still mort dangerous and
mighty enemy is to be*ncountered within
Beset by internal treachery, and opposed
By so formidable a power externally, no
alternative is left but base, abject and de
grading submission. The conquerour pro
ceeds with perfect security, calculating on
the formidable ally he has in the heart oi
the nation against which his hostility is di
rected. Different however is the profound
policy and stratagem of Bonaparte when
the government of the country' are favour
able to his plans of aggrandisement. H<<-
object Is then to further the filant oj
1 their own government, and to blindfold
the ryet of the ftofde to their own ruin
He then lavishes his panegy ricks on th<
government; applauds their resolution,
foresight and intrepidity, resorts to plau
sible pretexts, calls the government his
friend'* and his allies, while all the time h*.
is c >king alarming strides, one encroach
nnmt only paves the way for another, until
the people discover themselves reduced,
beggared and enslaved beyond all hope.—
AM the confidence of the |>eople is mot e
confirmed in a government favourable to
Bis views, he gradually lifts up the mask
of his hypocricy and proceeds to more un
equivocal nets of hostility. - He assumes a
loftier tone, he speaks to that gavernmem
and issues his commands in a dictatorial
style nntil the people, without even a shew
of resistance, are reduced to a state of vas
sal*tge and slavery. We would ask any
candid man. whether this has not been tht
identical course of that tyrant with regard
to the Uni'ed States. We would ask him
whether Bonaparte has not over and over
declared to his Conservative Senate that
America was shortly to make a common
cause with him in his attempts to re-estab
lish the freedom of the seas—whether he
did not applaud our embargo, and declare
that the United States ♦ould rather con
sent to renounce the ocean rather than sub
mit to English aggression—whether Pre
sident Jefferson did not once echo precisely
the same language? The result of all thh
infernal hypocricy is, that after he dis
covers that the Americans do not harbour
jealousy or distrust against their own rulers,
Bonaparte rises in his demands, declares i
that we mint become a party in the pre
sent contest, and captures and seizes our
mercantile property on the ocean because
We have not. In the midst of these alarm
ing and outrageous acts of hostility from
these deliverers of the ocean, our govern-
■ ment scarcely utters one word nf expostula
tion or repnmf. Fellow-citikens, this is no
exaggeration—read the account published
under the Salem head in this day’s paper.
Will you then at the ensuing election, can
you give ynur confidence to men who open
ly and warmly wish Bonaparte success,
who contribute all in their power towards
the capture of our merchant vessels, tht
burning of our property and the imprison
ment of our countrymen in the dungeons
of France f
COM MUN 1C ATIONS.
Tax following is a beautiful sftfcimen of
that nosegay of which our demo
cratick florists have presented tn our view
The first section of the act enforcing the
embargo provided, that no person should
load any ship, or any cart with produce,
to be carried out of the United States with
out a forfeiture of such vehicle, and the
person so offending should pay four times
the value of the goods, with a proviso,
tempting the carrier of such goods to com ■
mit perjury, for half of the bounty. The
second section provided, that no goods or
mannWturt, either domestick or foreign,
should be put jn board any vessel unless a
B permit wn granted from a collector or
revenue-officer, nor unless the landing was
made under their inspection, unless the
owner, consignee or factor should give
sel and cargo, that the vend should not
leave port without clearance, put any arti
cle on board another vessel, and that the
bond in a sum six times the amount of ves-
States. This was accompanied by a mo
.lest provision, that no such penahyjshoukl
■ xtend to coasting vessels merely, which
had complied with the prerequisites spe
ified in the 4th section of the act. The
•d section provided, that the owners, con
signees or factors, described in the preced
ing section, of vessels laden, in whole or in
•>art, should, when ordered by that petty
tyrant, the Collector, discharge their car
goes, or give bond in the sum of six times
the amount of the vessel and cargo, on the
terms specified in the 2d section, with a
forfeiture in case of non-compliance, of the
vessel and cargo. The 4lh section gra
ciously enacts a permission, that every
Collector may, in fturauance qf auch gene
ral inatructiona as he may receive from
the President of the United States, grant a
general permission for vessels, &c. to take
on board at any time, such articles of do
mestick or foreign growth, as may be de
signated in a clearance, after bond has been
given to the United States, in an amount
equal to 300 doigsrs for each toa of the
s vessel, that such vessel shall not depart
tram any district of the United States, dur
ing the time mentioned in the bond, with
out a clearance, nor without the delivery of
a manifest of the whole cargo on board,
that the vessel should not proceed tc any
other port than that mentioned in het
clearance—put any article on board any
v< ssel, or be employed in any foreign trade,
md that the whole cargo should be re
t inded in the Unitedflbtes.
These are some delectable fea
tures of Mr. Giles’s enforcing act. Citiaens
if Rhode-Island, will you on the ensuing
election bequeath your confidence to met.
spousing the interests of a party, capable
of giving to such abominable tyranny the
name of a law.—These wicked and profli
gate men have such an aversion to com
merce, that they put the whole United
States under military law to extirpate it.—
Commerce has been the life-spring of ag
riculture, and under the name of an em
bargo to protect it, they attempted to ruin
noth.—lf you place your confidence in such
men, you have none to blame but your
selves for the evils that will infallibly hap
pen. We shall proceed in the dissection
>f that infamous act—it ought to be bound
up in the same volume with the declaration
of independence, to shew how the demo
crats have dared to violate that instrument,
and establish tyranny by law. B.
"roil these two or three months, the de
mocrats of this State have been calling a
r,.«ivent>au for the purpose of nominating
State officers for the year ensuing. The
day, or rather night, appointed was on the
28th of February. It has passed by and
we heard of but little that took place on
the occasion, nor saw any very remarkable
ippearances. It is however uhitfiered,
that a meeting was holden at the Wigwam,
which lasted some time after the going
down qf the sun, and was attended by none
but red men. Our democrats have ar
rived to the point at which they think it
expedient to change names. They are no
longer republicans, but Indiana, sons of
St. Tammany, and the offices of the State
•nust be distributed in a Wigwam. Their
bject is ever revolution ; and in their night
meetings and powwows, they only assimi
hte their actions to their savage disposi
tions. Will the good people of this State
submit tn the government of such Sachems
vs this lammany tribe shall nominate ?
Forbid it, you who revere the name r.t
Washington, whose policy is your glo
ry. and whose patriotism is still engraved
upon the tablets of your memory.
It is said, however, that there is nothing
to fear from their evil machinations. They
cannot agtee among themselves who shall
hold offices; for it is the first article in
iheir creed, that all are equal, and why
then are not all equally capable and equal
ly entitled to office? They fancy them
selves in that primeval state of savageneaa,
in which no one allows a su per lour. Hence
so much noise at their powwows, for they
all speak at a time, and each one gives and
follows his own advice. In the end, there
fore, they agreed in nothing, agreed to
nothing, and agreed upon nothing, but in
suffering every one to act as he pleased,
and make as much ■ as he pleased.—
The disciples of Washington ought not
on this account to be less vigilant or in
dustrious. They ought to remember, that
these men fight in the dark, that “ they
prefer darkness rather than light, for their
deeds are evil." '

The owners of the ship Commodore
Rogers, of this port, received a letter yes
terday, from Bonrdeaux, dated December
31, giving an sccoant of the arrival at St.
Se bastians, of the above vessel.
The same letter states that on the 28th
of December, all the American vessels at
the port of St- Sebastian! were pat under
sequestration.
ft is also said, that Bonaparte was about
erecting a great national SIXVI, for the
pm pose of sifting the American from Eng-
li3ll property—and that whan so sc
ho intended to restore the former.
' Mr. Eppes, from the select committee
reported a bill authorizing the President t<
grant convoy to American vessels, nu>
bound to ports not actually blockaded,'and
not laden with articles contraband of war
Referred to a committee of the whole to
morrow. .
Mr. Eppes also reported against the
amendments of the Senate to Macon’s bilt,
and the report was agreed to 67 to 47.

fate there is uncertain—nothing was ex
pitted to be done, till the ifeceipt of news
from Europe.]

bring in a bill.
HAMBURGH CORRESPONDENT.
Tuesday, January 2, 1810.
From a letter dated Puri a, December 25,
The here residing royal Danish envoy,
Mr. Von Dreyer, has sent to the American
Ambassadour here, General Armstrong,
the following letter:
St a General —lhasten to acknowledge
the receipt of your favour which you hon
oured me with under date of the 16th inst.
and which contained thej’emonstrations of
sundry Captains and Supercargoes of Ame
rican property of different cargoes and ves
sels arrived at Tonningen. I have made
it my duty to send both this letter and the
renionstration annexed to my court.
Heavy denunciations which were made
against vessels and cargoes, as if they car
ried English produce or were English pro
perty, have inclined the king to lay under
sequestration those cargoes which were in
depot of the stores of the several harbours
of Holstein, so that by a new examination
it may be proved how far these denuncia
tions are founded. As lam folly acquaint
ed with the friendly sentiments of his ma
jesty towards the United States and its ci
mens, 1 can, Sir, give you full assurances
that all provisionally sequestrated goods
will be returned to their legitimate owners
who can prove their capacity of American
subjects. Only those will be confiscated
which are manifestly enemies* property.—
You know, Sir, the sentiments of equity by
which the Danish government is led too
well to harbour the least fear in that re
spect.
I must tender you my thanks for the offer
made of examining the papers and docu
ments of the goods put under sequestration,
which might appear suspicious. I have
had the honour to announce to my court
that I view this offer as an effectual reme
dy to find out the truth or falsity of the de
nunciation whence the sequestration has
arisen.
I remain, See. &c.

Paris, 20th December, 1809.
this day received from the Minister of his
Majesty the King of glenmaik at this
Court. Besides these written assurances,
he has made more verbal ones, to wit:—
“ That every thing which can be proved
as the property of a cititen of the United
States of America, (be it the original pro
duce of any country whatsoever,) shall be
promptly restored without delay.” I myself
put full confidence in these assertions, both
in respect to personal acquaintance with
the Minister, as to the well known equity
of the King, whom he reptesents.
We conjees we are strongly in
clined to believe the doctrine contended
for by our correspondent, Y. to be orthodox.
Ite have but very little respect fur the
tag-rag and bob-tail divines of antiquity ;
and in our view the preservation of the
monstrous absurd and unnatural legends
of ancient mythology, will teach us to re
gard with more reverence the religion we
prtftss. It shews convincingly the ne
cessity cf Revelation, when the first ge
niusses that ever illuminated the world
could devise no better system of Divine
worship without it.
