Houses of Congress, will, no doubt, evince
his unshaken firmnefs and patriotism, and
, will be perused with avidity by all clalfes of
citizens. The disclosure of mal-condu&
and peculation, under the last administration
will juftify the few removals from office,
which have taken place, under the adminif
t ration of A President who is emphatically
THE MAN OF THE PEOPLE. Tel.
In Philadelphia, the Republican Ticket for Se

OLD GAME AGAIN,
The English frigate Circe, about the middle of
lath month, captured eight or nine fail of vessels
bound from the Wed-ladies to Charleston; several
were in soundings, and oue'm fight of the light

count for these new depredations on our tr@de,
as the fated advices from England do not mention
any new order of the King in council having been
issued to authorife them. £harleflon pap.

'' The Bri^fh in the Well-Indies, have said.
“ when we have done with the Danes and
Sweeds, we will begin with brother Jonathan a
again." — They are now making their promises
good ; two brigs and a schooner from Port Re
publican to this place, have been taken by an Eu
gliih frigate."
We observe that the British Cruisers ttve
lately sent into England five or fix American ves
sels, under pretence that they were bound to
Havre de Grace, which they pretend is blockaded.
Who recollects the blockade of the port of Havre
being officially announced ? If it was (which is
touch quedioned) we believe only a few frigates
are eroding in its neighborhood—but upon the
principles which the English have aCted during
this war, a tingle boat may blockade a port ; and
any neutral vessel found at sea with a clearance
for filch port may be sent in for lav fol adjudfra.

A NOVEL,
ENTITLED,
THE MINSTREL ;
', OR,
ANECDOTES OF DISTINGUISHED
PERSONAGES,
IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY.
Three Volumes in one-^-Duodecimo.
PREFACE TO THE WORK.
"if is, perhaps, as ridiculous in the obfeure
writer of an insignificant Novel, to profets that in
her fiftitions difchflions she meditates no injury to
the existing government of her country, or its Rul
ers, as it would be in a mole, digging her dark
mention under the base of a mountain, to proted
(he had not the least intention ti overturn it. Yet,
in a moment pregnant With danger, and general
alarm, as it is the known property of fear for to
diflort and magnify every object, that even the
harmleft mole, seeking a habitation, may be mis
taken for a treacherous pioneer ; and as ail m^n
are Ifepping forth to deciare their principles, ma
ny probable as obfeufe and infignificant as her
felf ; on'the just consideration that the ocean is
but an aggregate of (ingle drops, the anthorefs of
the following pages thinks there will be do im
propriety in declaring, that, though necessarily
led, by the personages of her drama, cnrforily to
introduce some fubje&s lately much agitated, and
oppose opinion by opinion, yet, so far was (he
from intending to join her feeble voice to either
of thole parties which, at present, divide a large
proportion of Europe, that her Novel was written
before those parties had displayed tbemfelves,
" A friend to freedom, but an enemy to licen
tiaufnefs, the contemplates in the happy confuta
tion of het native island, the best exiting form of
government, for promori g the one; and checking
the other. That other nations, groaning under
(he yoke of defootifin, (hould seek to relieve them
selves from the intolerable preffurf, die cannot be
furprifert to fee ; and if Inch devolutions are effect
ed upon liberal principles, cohdufted with hon
our and humanity, (he will not glare to centure.
But that a native of Britain, whose egnlljtntion
might form a modeffor the new legislators of oth
er nations, desirous of framing the minds of their
fubjeas, at once, to virtue and freedom, that he
Should With to throw off the mild government of
its king, free hlmfelf from the Military Deftraint
of its laws, subvert all order, annihilate all fubor
flination, that he may fubjeft himfelf, hi, dearest
jnterelts, hiA property, and Ris life, to the . caprice
of, a iawleU mob, cannot fail of being matter of
amazement to every thinking mind—:muft be
deemed the most glaring insanity. Far be it from
the author of The Minstrel, to fptead fetch ^ de
testable mania, or contribute to its baneful thefts.
