It is remarkable that.the perlons in Con

Bihly. The present administration have
reduced no salaries.
It was formerly fiid that the President
and all the officers of government receiv- |
ed too greap compensations. See Bab

of A.-Bishop in September of that year, §
in whiqh all the froth and venom of that
writer is exhausted to excite public in.j

univerfdl language of democracy then
was, if onr party prevail they will relieve
the people of part of THIS burden.
Now what is the fact ( Not a salary has|
been reduced a Angle cent— The fees of
two or three collectors in large cities
were diminished in a trifling degree—
This is all that hm been dope on this greatl
head of clamor. Nay, a republican House }
of Congress in March 1802, revived an alt

the great officers of government, were
augmented.
Mr.Bifhop's father is now receiving sev

Ihe King's Meflage..
Royal Mefoge —Ld. Hobart deliver
ed the following Menage from his Ma
fefty.
“ In consequence of the formidable
military preparations carrying op in the
ports of France and Holland, pending
the. discussion of an important nego
tiation between his Majesty's govern
ment and that of France, the result pf
which cannot yet be known, his Majesty
acquaints the Houfe,' that aduated by
the,concern he always feels for the se
curity and welfare of his fubjeds, he
has thought it necessary to exercise the
powers veiled in him by ad of Parlia
ment for calling out and embodying
forthwith, the Militia of these King
doms, or such part thereof as his Majes
ty shall think proper for the defence &
Safety of his Kingdoms, not doubting
that his Parliament will approve the
fame."
The French seem to be adopting ev
ery measure for increasing their naval
force. Large falls of timber have been
ordered in the great sorest of Soignes ;
the timber is to be sent to Brest, Hav
re, Dunkirk, and L'Orient.<
IThe Government has issued an arrete for
rendering anew all (hip carpenters, caul
kers,fail makers, rope makers, &c. resi
dent at the different ports, and not. al
ready entered on the register for tailors.
When a requisition is made for their
services, it is to be regulated by the
laws of the 25th of October, 1796.
Blacksmiths, bakers, and house carpen
ters are also to obey the requisition of
the Administrators of the Marine,fhould
tbeirfervices be thought necessary. Such
of these artizans as refufe to proceed tp
their destination, Shall be apprehended,
and forwarded from brigade to brigade,
till they reach the refpedive ports.
.-—o——
That Bonaparte may have been guil
ty of gross infolds and outrages to our
Government is highly probable. It is
said he infills on having Commercial
Agents at all our great naval ports. If
this foe true minitiers will have the
thanks and support of the country, for
refilling him, let the consequences be
what they may. On this fubje& a
strange coincidence of circumstances
now present themselves— Some weeks
ago we mentioned, that one Favelet,an
officer of engineers, and brother to Bo
naparte's Secretary, had Rationed him
felf as Commercial commissioner at
Dublin. By our Dover letter we find,
this very man is at that place on his way
to Paris. It is not generally known,
but it is a fad, that Government have
discovered printed addresses from Ar
thur O'Conner, now circulating in Ire
land, in which he explains and judifies
his conduct, and confidently speaks of
emancipating his country. General
fjecaen has just reviewed at Brest an
army said tQ,e defined .for the East
Indies. The King's message declares
France has large armaments in her
ports avowedly, for her colonies, but
fufpe&ed of being designed to invade
this country (or .Ireland which is the
fame.) These fads neej no comment.

PARLIAMENT.
In the course of the Debate, last night
in the House of Commons, nothing
was to be observed but the fame Jhades
of opinion which pervaded the former
diffcuffion on the fame fubjed. The
language of the Minister was uniform
and confident. He strongly expressed
his wish for peace, and his hopes, that
the last extremities might still be avoid
ed ; but declared his resolution never
to purchase peace by humiliation, or
any injurous conceflions. Mr. Fox
appeared to be less devoted than before
,to Peace, upon almost any terms ; and
after taking a comprehensive view of
the conftitctional part of the fubje^dif
plays the Naval and Military Powers
,of the country in the most favorable
and encouraging light ; butat the fame
time he deprecated war, which, if at
tended with the most glorious and un
interrupted success, he must still confid
er as qne of the greatest calamities that
could befal this country. In the course
of the debate, no clue whatever was
given to the nation pf the negociations
now pending between this country and
France. Mr. Dent moved an augmen
tation of seamen and marines to 25,000
instead of 10,000; but the House ac
quiefeed in the more moderate propo
sal of the Minister. , -
Independently of the vast numbers of
Seamen,every where obtained by means
of the impress, we.are happy to find,
that volunteers who-have already en
tered, are beyond all former example
numerous. , & .-s
It is a very fortunate circumftan%>
that various causes have delayed the
failing of the French squadrons in the
ports of Helvoetfluys and Dunkirk.
The Louisiana expedition has been de
layed, firft by the failure of a house at
Paris, which had the contra& for ftp
plying it with necessaries, and secondly
by the froft which set in with great fe.
verity in Holland. .

From the Boston Gazette of Tuefday last
cue copy the following : —
' From LONDON, March 13,
cc After a short deceitful (lumber,
we are awakened to the profpett of a
war extirpation :—the vision at peace to
which the splendid acquirements ot an ar
duous, glorious contest were facrificed,bas
vanished, even while the wounds which
atchievei it are hill bleeding. We are
told, it is true, that the points in difeuflion
may be amicably adjufled, and we em
brace the hope with fervency , yet with
a bold, aspiring, and vindictive rival,
rankling under defeat, & ever watching
per fas alque nefaflor the moment of ad
vantage, we tear there can never be any
permanent security to tis or any part of
Europe, but what mutt be enforced at
the point of the fword.<
•“ Malta, it tefaid is the immediate ob
ject in dispute ; —our government consid
ering the changes which have taken place
in Italy, such as to warrant the retention
of that Island. It ida proud maxim, How
ever, in ournatiupal creetl, that nothing
can warrant a breach of compact ! we
have ever lantented the surrender of Mal
ta ; but we fnould bluffi to purchase its
possession at the ex pence of our integrity.
We have a&ed improvidently in giving
up, but we should not repair the error by
a violation of faith. It is true, the trea
ty of Amiens was abused by France, by
twenty encroachments, even while the
CommiffiQuers were yet discussing it; still
perfidy in another cannot juftify perfidy
in us; and if, we are again to be involv
ed in the lior,rors of war, we cruft at least
we shall have the confutation of combat
ing in a just and honorable caufe,and not
to evade the performance of a bounden
obligation.
“ We are inclined to believe, however,
that there are other and more worthy
causes for the boUile position of our gov
ernment : we are told, that when our
Ambassador at Paris inquired the occasion
of the armaments making along the coasts
of France and Holland,reply was made,
that " they were designed for the amuse
ment of the Consul, and for the exercise
and occupation of the troops ;" and on
his Lordthip pressing for a more confid
ent aufvter, was inf^rmed, that “ he
might ascribe to them such further objects
as he thought proper." Iftfuchbethe sass,
it is time to arm,; further concession must
be ,like unavailing and difgraceful:
while we have a penny,, or a drop of
blood left, it will be better to spend the
one, and spill the other, than endure, in
patient ignominy, the repeated intuits
that h^ve thus ,far been the foie return
for our forbearance.
"Bonaparte tells us, 1 that England,
unaided by Continental Alliances, can no
longer Ifope to cope with France. Has
he then forgotten the events of the last
years of the u ar, when Britain alone de
fied the trfacemriffd power of France,
and in every point of c^mtadt triimplied
over it ^ or has he forgotten, that when
his artifices engaged almoli the whole of
Europe in hoflility again( | us, that he on-'
ly created to us frefh feezes for vidory!
If he has forgotten bis difeomfiture at
Acre, and the horrid expedient to which
he was redded to secure bis escape from
Syria; if he has forgotten bis difgraceful
flight from Egypt, it must at lead be ad
mitted,that be has a molt courteous memo
ry. " Teach me to forget," exclaimed
Themistocles—his the recourse of defeat
and infamy. The Cons 4 needs the palli
ative, and we do not envy him the posses
sion.
“ Should it, however, be unavoidable
to have again recourse to the fword,what
warrants the opinion of the Firtt Conftil,
that we.mutt encounter him single-hand
ed—does be then, reckon nothing of bis
injuries to America ; nothing ot the op
preflion of Switzerland and Piedmont
nothing of the attempts at (till further
fuhjugatiug Holland ; does St. Domingo
afford no diversion in our favor? Are bis
ships in that quarter in no danger? Can
he fee nothing dangerous to his. over
weening ambition in the now rational
IMPRESSMENTS.'
Our Plymouth letter Rates, that the
Admiralty Messenger with the impress
warrants, arrived there in thirty hours.
Immediately after they were received,
the colliers and other ffiips were boar
ded,and a great number of prime hands
obtained. Landmen of all descriptions
were also prelfed. Four hundred men
were picked up in one night. One
prefsgang entered the Dock Theatre,
and cleared me whole gallery, except
the women. Two frigates failed on
Thursday niffit from Portsmouth, for
Cork and Guernsey, to procure seamen.
The Venerable, of 74 guns, and Hy
dra frigate were to go out of Portsmouth
harbour to-day,
During the Press on the River, 2
great number of American seamen have
been taken ; in confequer.ee, the Con
4ul ofthe_U. S. resident in London, has
had a long interview with the Lords of
the Admiralty, when alithofe Seamen
who 'could produce fatisfa&ory testi
monials of their being Citizens of Amer
ca, were ordered to be difcHarged. Sev.
eral, however; have entered voluntary
at the fame time expressing a wish that
they may have an opportunity of meet
ing the common enemy. ' The condu& of
these brave fellows is above all praise.
It is time for the republicans of the Un
ion to wake from their lethargy; it is
time for them to determine whether they
will crouch in a (late of ignominious vas
salage to dhe or two unprincipled men
who threaten co denounce them,to calum
hiate them, and+to defiroy them in the es
timation of their fellow-citizens, if they
will not yield themselves up to their di.
rettion. The prosperity of the republican
interefl is already put to thd hazard. At
tempts are daily making to sow diffentions
among us, by a few worthless individuals,
who would rain the cause rather than not
effect their own particular willies.

Capt. Ingerfol verbally Reports, that the most
2&?ve exertions were making in all the ports
ot France to equip and man their navy ; and
that a heavy impressment of men took place at
Bourdeaux on the evening previous to his fail

and indicates something of moment.
The Aurora.
Among the objects which have of late
arretted our attention we particularly no
tice an attempt of the Aurora Editor to
overawe the constituted # authorities of

'LATEST FROM FRANCE.
By the Sally, Capt. Ingerfol, arrived
here yesterday, in 30 days from Bour
deaux, werhave received a regular series
of Paris papers from -he 20th Feb. to the
2iit Marchlatt, inclusive. These papers
do not, however,tont^in asingle article
indicative of war. They mention the
preparatory proceedings in England,
which have been derailed here; but they
do it with a perfect non chalance. In
short, the Paris papers are as marly bar
ren of political news as the Madrid Ga
zette. They are filled up with projects
of laws which are to form the civil code;
and articles refpefting' rhe internal econo
my of the Republic. One might as soon
expect to find an opinion or observation
on the affairs of the government in an Al
gerine Gazette, as in a Paris newfpa per.
The government takes its measures, and
purfties them without troubling the peo
ple to think of any thing, but yielding o
bedience thereto.—Thus tar of the Paris
Papers.'*-'- 'w
The intelligence, however, which the
following letters, received by this arri
val, convey, is highly iurciefting.
Extras of a letter from a refycAable house in Bout
deaux to a gentleman in this town, dated March
" There has been fora few days past, serious
appearances of an immediate War, between
this Country and England. How the business
will terminate is not yet known. It is howev
er worthy of note, that Bonaparte observed
lately to Mr. Livingston; that if fuch,an event
should take place, the peace of America would
not be disturbed on the part of France. This
is reported, and 1 believe upon good authority?'
Extract of a letter from a refpeßable merchant at
Bourdeaux, dated March 27.
" War is the order of the day.— Malta the
oftcnfiblc bone of contention, —and the general
opinion is, that an actual ft ate of hostilities can
not be far distant. My private sentiment how
ever is, that an accommodation will take place.
France is too much ex,©fed in her commerce; and too
feeble in her fleets, to take the Bull by the horns."

" For ten days past, there have been ffrong
apprebenfioos of war between this country and
Great- Britain, which have had great influence
bn our markets ; considerable purchases of Weft-
Tndia produce were made at an advance of from
5 to 10 per cent ; and the caurfe of exchange on
London experienced a material rife. But this
agitation has entirely fuhftded, in consequence of
reports, that harmony is re-eftablilhed ; which,
if confirmed, we may reasonably expert affairs
will soon revert to their situation previous to
