" The arts of tbefc able Editors" are now
nearly exhausted. They have travelled o
ver every a& of the president's administra
tion, and have found him invulnerable at
every point from which he has been availed.
As a dernier rtfort, they are now travelling
back to a period when every Republican in
the country was proscribed by the domi
neering spirit of Federalism, in search of
evidence that Jefferfon was a Republican,
and did not approve the administration of
'his predecessor. They resort to Callender as
their forlorn hope, to prove also that he coun
tenanced and rewarded dandersupon the cha
ra&er o' W^hin^lon. If he difapprovesof the
adminiftratioQof his immediate predecessor,
it is evidence of his wisdom, it is proof of
his inflexible virtue. This point, therefore,
is readily conceded. So much of the testi
mony of this bribed and drunken witness is
cheerfully admitted. If Callender meansto
be further understood, which by the way,
does not yet appear from his ftory,that Mr.
Jefferfon had feeen and read the whole of his
Profyefl, as it is printed, and then presented
him with a hundred dollars, we do not hefr

The Editor of the Evening. >f has ham
mered out Ten wire drawn numbers on the
pliable fubjeft of "Jefferson and Cal
xender," which are now decorating the
columns of all the Federal Newspapers on
the Continent. The great object of his la
bors has been to prove that Callender is
a Black Guard, and the President a Scoun
drel. The firft of thcfe proportions would
have been readily admitted without the parade
of evidence. The last has been so often re
peated, by Federal Editors, that it carfgain
no additional credit by the frequency or va
riety of their complaints. The proof mull
come through some other medium, than the
foul mouth of Callender, or the prosti
tuted Presses of opposition, before it will in
duce a momentary belief in the mind of an
honest man. Judas Iscariot, after he
had bargained to betray his Lord and Master,
into the hands of his enemies, was entitled
to no credit, when he proclaimed Christ
an impostor. The Jews, who, from his
birth, had been determined to crucify him,
are not now believed, when they swear to tis,
by Moses and the prophets, that he was not
the true Messiah. Callender, who has
fold himfelf to the Devil and the Feder
alists, who is now biased with treachery
and polluted with fin, is but a rotten witness
against the pure and undefiled integrity of
the President. The band of infidel conspi
rators, who, from the day of his inaugura
tion, have been plotting his deftrutfion, who
have (worn upon their Alcoran that he shall
be crucified in the public opinion, will not
easily accomplish the object of their ven
geance, when they are leagued with this vile
apostate, in arraigning him before a CbriJlian
tribunal ! From a vindicative and malicious
prosecution, supported only by a corrupt and
perjured witness, nothing is to be dreaded,
when the judges are upright, and the Jury
are difeerning. The hacknied ejaculations
of " Horrid Hypocricy," —" abominable
turpitude," “ unparalleHed baseness" may
excite a transitory thrill about the finer fibres
of the heart ; but they leave no traces on
the mind, which can strengthen the accusa
tion, or weaken the character of the accused.

The number of salt works on Cape-Cod
are so considerable, that it is understood, a
fufficient quantity is produced for the ofe of
the fishermen fitted out at the cape, and the
inhabitants thereof ; and additional works
are ere&ed almost daily. Glauber Salts of
an approved quality, arc also made at the
Cape in considerable quantities, and, we be
lieve, are fold for left than imported purga
tives salts. This information is certainly
interesting ; for a dollar saved in the coun
try is as advantageous as a dollar brought
into it. If our ordinary imports are dimm
ifhed foas to fallfhort of ourordinar, exports,
the country will prosper. It would be gen
erally gratifying, if some gentleman resident
on the Cope would make the necessary en
quiries, and inform the public of the state
of these manufactories. Many persons with
to know the exa& quantities of the salts &
glauber salts wfyeh are annually made—the
prices at whr' they can be afforded —and
what proof there is of the goodness of their
qualities. If fufficient is made, both those
articles may be exported to the other States ;

TRfre is one trait in the federal ch^r
a&er, for which they have credit, viz. Per.
severance, Perfeverando, is their motto.
As faft as they quit one hold, they fallen to
another. They have been abusing Mr.
Jefferson, before and since his election ;
and in no instance have their charges been
true. The hue and cry however ha^ an
swered their purpose for the time being.
Who is there that cannot recoiled the hor
rid consternation excited by the French de
mand ?This terrific tale was propagated io
all the federal papers. A loan, a French
loan—requisition, requifition 4 —demand, de^
mand ! were circulated far and wide. Eve.
ry federal face turned pale, every federal
man's hand was on his thigh. The " prof
ped before them" was truly glorious 1 they
thought to have caught the Executive in a
trap. The runners on the exchange were
doubly alert—congratulations were circula
ted with uncommon rapidity—the avenues
to the poft-oflice were crouded with a fed
eral phalanx, each carrying in his phiz won
der and consternation ! hope and fear ! But
alafs ! all this noise and bluffer passed over in
sumo ! The federalifts were disappointed,
and the citizens soon saw through the trick
imposed on them.
Perfeverando, however, is the motto.
Keep it up, keep it up—bawls the redoubt
able major ! The " propped before us" is
gloomy and perplexing, crys the Essex
Junto, unless we can keep the public mind
in agitation. What is the next story ?—
Callender, Callender, Jefferfort and Callen
der ! money, money and perjury ! Huzza !
keep it up, keep it up, yelp the federal
huhtfinen ! “ By eager pursuing we'll have
him at last."
Thus this restless, impudent, factious,
unprincipled Junto, are conflantly disturb
ing the peace of the community ; and under
pretence of believing what Callender fays
(whom they have heretofore declared to be
destitute of honor and integrity) they have
opened a new source of calumny, to impose
on the credulity of our unfufpesing citizens.
When will the wicked, cease from troub
ling ! when will the virtuous be at rest ? Not
till tory lies are as much disregarded as the
authors are defpifed.— Chren.
What pains certain lenders of Federalism
have taken to ridicule republican economy!
National liberality is a chriftian virtue ; but
national economy ought to be hanged.—
They have endeavored to render the very
word unfafhionable and unpopular. This
circumstance is not very important in itfelf,
but it is part of a fyfem, and indicates the
more serious views of the party opposed to
our present economical administration- Sun.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.
A paragraph has appeared in the Wash
ington Federalist, dating that from the latest
information, it is apprehended that both the
Emperor of Morocco and Dey of Algiers
have declared war against the United States.
Such publications alarm the public mind
excessively ; not only raise the premium
of insurance, but cause great uneasiness to
those who may have friends or property in
the Mediterranean. They al&> tend to flop
expeditions preparing for that sea. It is
true that the frigate New York is manning
with intent to join the squadron under com
modore Morris ; but it is not true that theie
is any appearance of danger from Algiers ;
on the contrary, the conduct of that regency
is of the mod friendly kind, the dey can have
no pretext for war, there being nothing due
to him from the United States.
Some apprehensions are entertained with
refpe& to Morocco. The emperor demand
ed from commodore Dale and the Swedish
admiral, permission to fend two Ships laden
with wheat for Tripoli, and for his men to
take possession of the Tripolitan (hip blockad
ed in Gibraltar, and to carry her to one of
his ports. This demand was refufed by both
commanders ; the emperor about the fame
time reminded Mr. Simpson, the American
con ful, that the American government had
promised 3 years past, to supply him with
100 gun carriages, with which they had never
complied. On being refufed, the emperor
asked pairports for his two Ships, to proceed
with their cargoes of wheat to Tunis ; this
request was, I believe assented to ; early in
June the emperor renewed the former de
mand for his two Ships to proceed to Tripoli
with wheat, and aifo that the Tripolitan Ship
of war Should be delivered to his people, and

Boriaparte still remains with his family at Mal

most uninterrupted labor. He gives very little
time to Deep or recreation. His meals are ab
itemious, and quickly finished ; but he drinks a
great deal of strong coffee, especially during his
nightly labours;—“ This mode of living," laid bis
phytician lately to him, “ mult ruin your health
—You cannot long hold out under it." " How
long do you think ?' 'faid Bonaparte. " Perhaps
three years or so." " Well, replied the Consul,
" that is quite long enough for me." A walk in
the park or half an hour at tenuis, is his daily re
creation. His natural bias leads him to avoid the
crowd. His conversations which do not turn on
the great affairs of Europe and France, are ex
tremely short. Os those trolled persons known
by the name of Favorites, he has none. He
never once allows the lead appearance of in

LONDON, June 16.
We were the firft on Tuesday last, to
announce the appointment of General An
dreofli, as Ambassador, from France to En
gland. The fa& was on Monday announ.
ced by M. Otto told, Hawkefbury, & it
is publicly confirmed by various letters
from Paris. It is remarkable that Andre
offi was some years ago appointed by the
Diredory one of the committee for fuper
intendiwg the defeent on England. He is
as we have already dated, one of the ablest
engineers in France, and it is said, he brings
in his train, several officers almost as well
skilled in that fcicnce. These circumstan
ces we are affureu, have greatly' alarmed
ministers, who are much embarrassed, be
tween their desire of being civil to France,
and their fear of being accused of allowing

By accounts lately presented, it appears
that the whole nett produce of the revenue
is twenty-eight millions One hundred thbu
fand pounds ; but of this the interest of the
public debt absorbs upwards of twenty-two
million's and a half; by which a balance of
not more than five millions and a half is Itett
applicable to the public service—a sum that
with due economy^nd abridgement of est
ablishment, might perhaps be found fuffi
cient for the public demand; but which, up
on the establishment ptopofed for the com
mencement of peace (and it is uncertain
whether any confidefable reduction will be
attempted at any time) must be ruihous in
deed ; for the charge of the army and navy
alone cannot be calculated at less than seven
millions and &half, leaving a deficit of two
millions and a half, as well as the other ex
penses of government, to be provided for
either by new taxes or by additional loans.
