COMMUNICATION.
, Mtffrs. Nutting & Whitlock,
As the tory radian in MUTachufetts are inter
fering in the republican elections in New-Hamp*
thoroughly acquaint'd with men, and knows
how to employ the best, not the nioft ready,
in the public service. For he is of opinion,
that genius and talents ought only to be em
ployed in a good government; when they
are united to good morals, and energy ot
charader, and none of his choice have been
rejeaed by the majority, though the party
Gazettes have spared no calumnies to injure
them.
It appears highly important that the people of
the United States, and those in Europe who have
property or buhnefs here, should attend to the
wonderful display ot our resources and profo^rity,
in the official return of the exports ot the United
States, ot the roth February, 1802. The leport
contains the exportations during 12 months, end
ing op the goth Sept. 1801. They exceed
93,000,000, of dollars, or nearly the sum of
21,000,000 of pounds sterling. The Cotton alone
is nearly 21,000,000 of pounds weight, tho' we
did not ship a (ingle bag of our own cotton at the
end of our revolutionary war. Our flour is in
creased 1,100,000 bbls, our tobacco 163,000 hhds
our Indian cort, 1,768,000 bushels, our lumber
200,000,000 of pieces and feet, our beet and pork
146,000 barrels; the bacon, butter, cheese, lard,
and candles are above 10,500,000 pounds weight.
The most aflonifhing circumstances are, the vail
quantity of cotton, and the total amount of the
return.
Jefferfon has all the talents neceflary to
secure the love of his fellow-citizens, and
the esteem of posterity, without which nt
man can be truly great. He is affable,with
out affiliation , popular, with dignity ; en
lightened, firm', and possessed of all the re
publican virtues. This is the Prelident ol
the United States, the man placed in a situa
tion 10 do good, and who does it. Private
opinion is as free as the obligations of soci
ety can admit. Indeed, in the short time
of his administration, in all branches of the
government, in all the public eftabliihments,
there has been a diminution of the public
burdens. Every thing tends imperceptible
to this sole end, the true prosperity of the
nation.
On ToeCTay evening talk week a fire broke out
in the (tore ot Mr. Wo. P. Ledyard, at Groton,
and before effectual refinance could be made, ton
filmed the building with the whole of its contents,
confiding chiefly of dry goods to the amount ot
nearly 10,000 dollars, and between £ and 6,000
dollars iu bank notes.

A Customer.
York, march 15, 1802.
The report of the British trade for the
part year is, that the imports were reckon
ed at 54 millions pounds flerling, and the
exports at 55 millions ; and that five sev
enths of the exports were of Britilh manii-
Jaaures. The detail ot all the commerce
of this nation docs not belong to this place.
The regifteted vessels belonging to the Brit
11b dominions exceed 18 thousand, including
1,905,438, almost a millions of tons, and
employing above one hundred and forty
three thousand men.
We have no additional accounts from Eu
rope, or of the progress of the Congress at
Amiens.
fir The Editor [Mr. John S. Lillie,] in
foi ms his Patrons, that He is confined in Button
Gaol, under lenience of the Supreme Judicial
Court, tor three months, with the additional bur
den ot 100 Dollars Fine—The Editor has attempt
ed during his trial to give every tousfaftion to the
Court, and his concessions have been such, that
nothing more could have been expected, from a
man under his peculiar circumitances motwith
(landing which, he is separated tor three mouths
from his Wire and a sick family, and is obliged to
fufter the dittreffes of imprisonment—while some
other Printers are permitted to libel the Supreme
Executive, and every officer in the Federal Gov
ernment—it is his misfortune to be lingled out as
an object of Judiciary Vengeance.—
The Editor feels no way depressed by his filia
tion, and while he is confined, he (hall employ his
time in promoting that cause Which Tyrants at
tempt to deltroy.
The following is extraHed from Mr. Bayard's
Speech, in which, as the wife Editors of the
Po.ladum have Jaid, " the federalists wih
find the purity and rectitude of their princi
pies vindicated." Read and determine for
yourselves, Fellow-citizens.
" The Judges have held generally, that
the Constitution of the United States, was
predicated upon an existing Common Law.
Ot the soundness of that opinion, I never
had a doubt. I should scarcely go too far
were 1 to fay, that ftript of the Common
Law, there would be neither Constitution
nor government. The Constitution is un
intelligible without reference to the Com
mon Law. If the Common Law does not
exist in most cases, there is no law but the
will of the Judge. Again, without the
Common Law, the Conftitutioh becomes a
dead letter." Here we find that the Com
mon Law (of which nobody knows the o
rigin or meaning) is alledged to be superior
to the Constitution and the Government.
This may be true Federalism, but we con
fefs it is above ourcomprehenfion. What!
'hall the Constitution and laws of the Uniat
cd States be considered as “ unintelligible"
without a reference to English Common
Law? But federalifm can “ mean any
thing or nothing," and is of itfelf " unin
telligible,"
