The Republicans are latisfied that the present
Administration will do all in its power to protest
the commerce of the U. States.—Our little (quad
run now in the Mediterranean, effectually guards
cur tradejfrom the Tripolitan cruisers. A valua
ble convoy of merchant vessels has reached this
country, and oar Tea-faring brethren are proud
to acknowledge their gratitude to the govern
ment for its protection, so promptly afforded to
them in a time of real danger.—But, fay the To

How so ? whose money paid for this Navy ? Why,
the people's to be hire—and the people have a

This admirable plan, as we onderftand it, is
limply no more nor less than to farm out or fell

land tax of Great-Britain, a tneafore ruinous in it

that the resources of England are at a low ebb ;
yet the federal Gazettes announce this scheme as
a truly admirable and excellent one; and fay,
that " it adds one more proof of the vafl resources
of that country, both in wealth as well as talents.
This aflertion u bich is direct against the face of
truth, in our opinion, only proves the extreme
partiality of the writer in favour of Great-Britain,,
and his utter ignorance of the fubjett.
What I if a government is driven to the ne

Does it not, on the contrary, prove that it is oblig

The friends of oroer and decency were
recently much gratified at the independent
conduct df a' federal clergy filin', who, in a
pldce of public worfhipy- finding himfeß,
while pr,ipg,for the President, inde
cently interrupted by the rude whisperings
of one of his<flock, and in an energetic, but
proper, manner, publicly and fyerely repre
hended the indecency of such behavior !---
-Would all our clergy follow an example so
worthy, of irritation, they^in a thort time,
might publicly pray for tne constituted au
thorities, viLhou: appr^henfion of ,rjdicule
or dhiurbaiice."
If ever there was an inn<ufceof moderation, for
bearance end magnanimity on the part of a gov
ernment towards its open and inveterate enemies,
it is that now displayed by Mr Jefferson, in re
taining in offices held at his pteafure, Jdch a great
number of characters, who by thewtelves, by
their connexions or by Newspapers tinder their
influence, are constantly maligning, mifreprefent
iag and traducing his private character and pub
lic admiriiUrauon. Notwithstanding four fifths
oftheJe offices in the United States are held by
men of this description, Itiil they are railing and
roaring abodt his '' intolerance, perfeeuvon and
refentinent,” while they are themselves fianding
forth to the public view as ''monuments of the
impunity with which error of opinion" and in
gratitude of conduct is ' tolerated where reason
is left free to combat it." How far, and how long
this impunity can fafely and conhftently be carried,
