4be Hamiltonian policy prevailed ; Mr. Maddi
fon was announced as an anti-federal a„,ate ;
his politics decried, his opposition artfully as
cribed to a spirit of rivalfhip with Mr. Hamil
ton. After exerting himfelf in vain to stem
the anti-republican torrent, he retired.
The evils predicted have in fad been expe
rienced from the Hamiltonian, or as it is popu
larly called, the Federal system. Time and ex
perience have ftrip'd it of its specious covering,
audio some measure exposed it to view. The
sober, second thoughts of the people have re
curred to firft principles.—-— Republicanism has
happily revived ; and Republicans are a
gain in possession of the government. Upon
3be election of his friend to the Presidency, Mr
Maddifop in offence to the unequivocal with
of the public, has entered again upon the stage
of political life, in the character of Secretary
of State.- Long may our country be benefited

AS neither Prefid4#%bA°MS,nor his political

in his retirement. His boneft, and patriotism m

IT has been justly obf^ved, that Rm/faer

the Federalist are disunited and disconcerted.
Another observation is equally applicable to the
present state of parties. Altho' the Federdifts
are warm, clamorous and abusive, in their ~
%ftion; Republicans, ading on the defenfive,
are comparatively cool, dispassionate and mod

against the light of truth, must fee and admit

Philadelphia, Oa. 28.
Entrap if a letter from an officer on board the U;
States jbi, Prefdent, dated Gibraltar Baj, gdtf
\:,so%o\, to bisfriend in this city.
“ I have the pleasure to acquaint you with the
fefe arrival of our squadron at this place, hav
% performed our paffsge in 30 days from the
U. S, as also our being just in time perhaps to
preserve the harmony that has heretofore ex
isted between our government and the Dey of
Algiers ; and to heal the breach between us&
the Dey of Tripoli, who, growing impatient at
the delay of his prefects, has absolutely dismiss
ed Mr. Cathcart, our Consul, and issued forth
his cruisers upon our commerce.
,'' The Governor of this garrison has shewn
a disposition to accommodate the squadron in
every manner compatible with his ability ; and
a very happy intercoarfe exists between the of
ficers of our ships, and the officers of the gar
rison. -
«, We leave this shortly for Algiers—but What
disposition may rake place as to the fquadron b
for the security of our trade, in this port, I am
unable to fay. I have, however, good reason
to hope we (hall be fortunate enough to pre
serve to the United States that peace which flu
now holds with the world.
« On our paitage hither we fell in with the
Britilh squadron in the blockade of Cadiz, the
admiral of which sent his boat on board with
every politeness, and was not a little furprized
to fee three such graceful trig:: ~in the Euro
pean seas, and belonging to ti^ United States
of America.
'' The day following we fell in with ' French
squadron, coafifting of 3 .lue of ban^»fo&
a frigate, being part of Gfflheaura,fi^
ron."L
From tbs same to tbs jams, dated r s 3 ^{6 rtf
dent, Innis Ba,, coaf of Barb , h ?>l9
“ I^ddreffed you a letter ot^ §oft& cred
at Gibraltar, to which I refer you.
-" The succeeding day (the 4th) we weighed
and proceeded from Gibraltar, all the squadron
in company, leaving our Tripoline foes at qui
et anchorage, and to recover from that tremor
which the fight of our flips most have thrown
them into.
" The fame day the Essex was ordered to es
cort two velfels of our nation up as far las Tn
nis, while the Philadelphia lay in wait for the
Tripolitan corfrirs,and we proceeded with the
Prefi'ent and Enterprize to Algiers, to^ found
the difpofiriop of the Dey.
" We arrived io the Bay of Algfeff on the
9th, and Were visited by our faithful consul Mr
O'Brien, who had yet preferred every thing
quiet with this regency, altho' a growing im
patience had evinced irfelf in the Dey, from the
deles, of bh ,refers from ear groernmitit—but it
soon subsided when he became acquainted with
our mission, and renewed his affurauces of es
teem and friendfhip for the U. States. He re
fufed to receive his annuity in fpecie,bot agreed
to wait for the stipulation of fores which are to
be feat from the U. S. and received his cloth
and linen only, preferred as a part of the price
of his friendship.
" At present he appears to be in a state of
rest, and prosecuting no kind of warfare with
any Christian power. A variance still exists
between him and the Grand Signior, the min
ister of the former being yet confined by the
Porte; . "
" I had the &tisfa&ion of feeing his marine,
which are laid up in ordinary in the mole of
Algiers, & consist of two frigates, one of which
is their own built, and bears a very bandfome
appearance, but is very tender-rthe other is
the Crelcent, a present from our governmeffy
The brig Haffan Baihaw, and another armea
brig, with two armed febodners, ^ gillies of
different force, and a number of xebecks. and
constituting the trifling force that awes tfeq
European and American nations Into the &
grading system of tribute.
- «' On the r ith we failed from Algiers Bay,
for Tunis, and arrived in a bay of that name
on the 17th following, nothing of importance
occurring on our passage. A dispatch having
been sent to notify our consul at Tunis of our
arrival here, he came on board the following
morning, when we teere extremely happy to
find we were yet on friendly terms with this re
gency, although its exigence would have been
short, but for our timely arrival.
“ The Bey of this kingdom is at war with se
veral European powers, and particularly with
France, which is at the instigation of the Otto
man Empire ; as is also Tripoli ; these regen
cies being lubordinate to that Empire. They
have been but too fUccefsful against the Nea
politans, 46 prizes, of which the greater part
are of that flag, having entered their ports since
the commencement of hostilities. Two ships
came in prizes to them two days previous to
our anchoring here. At present they have a
great many Christians in bondage.
“ Mr. Eaton, our consul, informs us they
bad become very troublesome, and it required
every exertion and argument to pacify these
barbarians until the arrival of their prefects.
" Mr. Cathcart, our consul at Tripoli, who
from the crisis of our affairs with that regency
had been compelled ta depart that city mid re
tire to Tunis, as I before mentioned, has left
Tunis for Leghorn, and it on his way to Ame
rica. This gentleman has been indefatigable
to continue burpeace with that power; but the
unjust demands made by the Bafhaw upon the
U. S. are such as excite indignation, & which
America never will conform to. I have not
heard that he has yet made a capture, although
several of his corsairs are at fee, ©ruling for our
commerce. The alarm is Efficiently given by
Mr. Cathcart, and every proteaion that can be
afforded by the squadron Will no doubt be giv
en; The Essex with the convoy has just come
to anchor, bringing the Grand Turk, laden
witty grefents for the Be), fafe, and under her
care. We fail Portly on a cruise, and may in
all probability proceed for Tripoli."
CT Mr. Eaton has since Officially declared|
Tripoli blockaded by the American squadron.

^ The Legiflatufi of Vermont have adopted
the Maryland Revolutions, which propose an
amendment to the Federal Confutation, by
providing a uniform mode of choosing Electors
of President and V. P. and Representatives to
Congress, by diftrids, after the 3d of March,
1803. This will give a more popular choice
of the Eleaors, and a more equitable choice of
Federal Representatives.
