: We un<erftand that the Executive has taken
up the case of Capt. Ebenezer Giles, who was so
barbarously treated by Captain Ma son, of the
BJtifli frigate Daphne ; but who was so much
more wickedly treated by the iofulence and abuse
of his office by Picketing. A full representation
otthe ignominious behaviour of Matfan is so be
forwarded to Mr. King in London. Little ex
pedition can be entertained of justice from that
court, but the refped which the public servants
owe the people, required of them this attention
to the rights of a nation and an individual, on
whose person the nation was insulted, and the in
fuh countenanced by the late administration.

An excellent address of an okaite committie, of the
county of Ducbejs, Newyork State, contains the follow
iq fummar, cf Practical Federalism.
We know, we have felt the enchantmedt of the
word Fcdtralijm, (without the praaicaf applica
tion) but we also know that the public mind is
every where faft emancipating itfelf from the
thraldom of its abuse, and we have reason to be
lieve that you will not be among the last to assert
this new freedom—to proclaim this new indepen
dence —How many follies have been fanaioned ?
Haw many vices have been protested ? How ma
ny injuries have been done under the cover of this
Kame ? We need not go back to the era of jedition
and alien laws, to the railing offsets and armies, to
watte and perfection at home, and madoefs a
broad, for proofs of the real cbarabler of what has
been called Federalism. We have only to look back
to the journals of the last session of the national
legislature, to be convinced, that it means only
profafion as it applies to money, and abuses as it ap
plies to power. Permit us to illustrate this opin
ion by a few fads. Did not the Federalists op
pose the ratification of the Treaty of Peace with
France? Did they not, after the ratification of the
treaty, oppose the repeal of the non-intercourse
law with that country ? Did they not (io the last
stage of the bill) oppose the rednaion of the naw, ;
a measure by which upwards of two millions of
dollars will be laved annually to the U. States ?
Did they not vote for giving W, pay, for life, to
fach navy officers as are to be dismissed ? Did
they not oppose the repeal of the Dirta Tan ?—
Did they not attempt to screen a weftern gover
nor, who had abused his authority, corruptly and
oppressively ? Did they not vo<e 200,000 dollars
for building a pyramid to the memory of George
Washington ? And lastly, Did they not serious
ly attempt to defeat the &ill of tbs People, as de
clared in the Presidential eledion ?
Philadelphia, 4pril 15. The Captain
of the Semilante French frigate, now in
Philadelphia, has no knowledge of any
fracas having happened at Norfolk be

seamen of any other. The British ship
of war which was there at the time of his
arriving, failed the day after the French
frigate cast anchor.

Salem, Aprils. Capture of St. Thomas',.
Yesterday arrived here the schooner Mercury,
Capt. Stone, in 30 days from Tobago. On the
4th April, Capt. Stone spoke an Eoglifh priva
teer from St. Vincent's, which informed him that
eight days previous, the iflinds of St. Thomas's
and Santa Cruz were taken by the British. Cap
tain Stone, however, in passing Santa Cruz, had
observed the Danilh flag flying on the forts, and
two men of war and a transport, under Danilh
colours, full of troops in red uniforms, going in,
and in the evening of the fame day he saw three
fail more going in. Salutes were given and re
turned by the ships and forts. Capt. Stone con
cluded therefore, that St. Thomas's only was in
posse ffion of the Britilh then, as the firft fruit of
the Northern Confederacy.

would have taken them too. i have been to the

ventures that were on board; but I might as
well have Hiked the miler for his gold. The prize

• Some few years ago, when Federalism was all
in vogue, and when calling a man "Jacobin was
his political damnation, in the estimation of the
reigning party, then did some cunning Anglo Fed
eralist indent the following Frightful Tales :—
That the horrid devils of Frenchmen bad taken
the American ihip Ocean, and massacred all the
crew in cool blood —That the French had landed
Arms at Charleston, concealed in meal tubs.—
and that all the jacobin Tailors in Philadelphia,
were at work night and day, to make Regimentals
for a French Army which was to be landed from
the Weftindies. These flories were made, and
met a ready currency, about the time when the
Standing Army system was brought forward in

FLOUR. Nro_rk, April it.
By a late report it appears that left month ioo,
000 barrels of flour were entered for exportation
to England and Ireland from this port only ; now
suppose the fame exertion to have been at other
places, and that the ports of Philadelphia and
Baltimore, each flipped the fame number of bar
rels as Newyork, or that the whole quantity of
flour shipped in barrels from the U. States for
England in March is equal to 300,000 barrels;
let us for a moment look at this immense quan
tity of food in various points of profpea. The
objed is great, and merits attention.
Three hundred thousand barrels of flour pla
ced fide by fide in a line, would extend 113 miles
and a half, which is more than the distance be
tween Newyork and Philadelphia—and placed
end to end in a line would reach 142 miles, or
from Newyork to Elk river nearly.
Three hundred thousand barrels contain 588
millions of pounds of flour—lt is supposed En
gland, Ireland, and Scotland, contain 7,000,000
inhabitants ; allowing to each of their inhabi
tants the half of a pound of flour per day, it will
all be consumed in the short space of seventeen
days !!
300,000 barrels flour at the average price of 10
dollars per barrel, amounts to the sum of 3,000
000 dollars.
If the U. States had not sent a barrel of flour
to Europe, the price here would not qow have
exceeded 4 dollars per barrel.
The U. States have done more for the
preservation of England by&ading her
flour than she has done herfelf with her
navy.
If England should be compelled to buy as
much flour for two years to come, as she has
bought for this year past, the nation would be
totally ruined.
A country that is so overburdened with
inhabitants (and this is the case with Eri<
gland) as to be obliged to purchase its
food from others, must, while this contin#
ues be striving against Nature—poverty
and ruin are inevitable ! ! !
The plough is the hand itfelf of Prov.
idence; it produces plenty, riches, and
power—negle&ed or abused, mankind
become dependant, poor, miserable.

of 192,193 barrels of wheat flour have, in the
short space of fix months, been infpeded in the
city of Baltimore, and almost all exported to for

ten dollars per barrel, the amount exported will
be found to be the enormous sum of almost two
millions of dollars brought into our country by
this one article of export alone.
