<< A letter from Washington, dated Jan. 23d,
among other evidences of the economical arrange
tnenfs°of the present administration, exhibits the
following, viz. 20,100 expended 011 the million of
Mr, Dawfun, at fix dollars per day, and rations,
" Since writing you last there has been
another embargo which lasted ten days, and
is now taken off from ten Vettels only ; I
expe&ed to have been one of the happy
number, but there is now an order for thole
veffcls which took their cargoes on nard
before the fire, to unload and weigh them
over again, which I am obliged to do.
Government give 12 dollars per for flour,
and fell it to the inhabitants for 16 ; all o
ther articles are in proportion. We hear
that a number of veflels are loading at Bal
timore, for this place, which provisions ;
fhoujd this be a fa&, it will prove unfortu
nate for the owners, for they muff inevita
bly for the owners, for they muff inevitably
make bad voyages.
It is said that General Le Clerc has sent
home to France for 50,000 more troops.
The Americans are called on to take arms
to defend the town, ir. case of an attack,
which is much feared."
The ' following " falje" and ")candalous, if
not “ malicious" article, was firft made public
through the medium at Rufell's Columbian Cen
tinel, and Maffchufetts Federalih, a paper which
has long been notorious for its disregard of trnth.
It was immediately copied into molt and perhaps
all of the Inany papers in these ftaies whicii are in
a great measure, it not wholly employed in ab::§-
ing molt fhametully the Liberty of the Press. But
however vise and reprehentible may be the abuse
of this Liberty by men deltitute of that liberality,
candour, honor and integrity which ought to be
chata&erUticof Freenfen, it is acknowledged by
all republicans to be essential to the preservation
of civil and religious Freedom. Hence the present
Federal Executive and Legislative Functionaries,
Vere it not fecored by the Canftitutipn, "would
still be ayerfe to retraining it by the penalties of
a Sedition Law. It is not, in fatt, by terror, or
by the infliction of pairs and penalties, either on
tyhe deluders or the deluded of the Opposition,
that the ruling party willies to govern ; but by
the mild blandishments of Moderation, Justice and
Benevolence :—Coofcious of the re&itude of their
official condh& and poffeflirg a high and we be
lieve a well-founded apiniotrof the good sense of
the nation, whose ultimate decision they are will
ing to abide by, well may they treat their unprin
cipled calumniators with ineffable contempt.

Extrafl of a letter from the celebrated Dr.
'Jenner to Dr. Ifaterbouje, dated London,
Feb. 2, i£o2.
'' I have lately requeued some of those
medical gentlemen, who 1 knew had been
the most a&ive in the cause to lay before
me the rtfult of their pradice. You would
be charmed to fee what a volume of evidence
this has produced. Not only cases more
than I can number, but the attending fads
are so cheering that I muff give you one as ?
specimen. A worthy Clergyman the Rev.
Mr. Finch, of St. Helens, in Lancashire,
writes as follows : "A few years ago I
Was in the habit ot burying, in the spring
and autumnal seasons; two or three chil
dren alrnoft every evening with the final!
pox, but now this disease has ceased en
tirely to call a single victim to the grave.
Why f I have inoculated upwards of three
thousand per sons in my neighborhood, and
the final! pox no longer exilts among us."
What a ,glorious fa& ! How every heart,
possessing even an atom of philanthropy,
muff exult at this?
Every champion in the cause, has had his
— -to contend with. As for myfelf I
have had a boft of them upon me ; but,
(hank Heaven, they are ail subdued or near
ly so, and vacination is marching triumph
antly through the globe.
The moil arduous talk I have lately had
is that of making praditioners sensible of
the absolute necefftty of attending to the
Quality of the virus employed, I here fend
you some rules compretied into a final!
space ! "

Now this paragraph, as fiiort as it is, contains
no less than three lies, and a good deal ol mis re
presentation to back rheih.
Iff. No sloop of war wasprovided by tee pre

The Maryland was ordered to Baltimore, fitted
out and itored by Mr. Adams, and kept there for
several weeks antecedehe to Mr. Jeflerfon's accef-
LOn to the presidency, lor the express purpole 61
carry ing to France the ratification of the treaty.
2d, Mr. Dawson had no allowance of rations—
He partook of the fhip's flores already laid in, nor
was there an additional cent of clifburfement of
this jeind, for his special accommodation. Indeed
none such could have been ufelul or neceflarj —as
the prevision made by Mr. Adams was truly boun
tiful. Thus it happens that the 20,800 dollars
expended op this million, was a federal measure
altogether, and intended not for the accommoda
tion of Mr. Dawson, but for that of Mr. Bayard
whom Mr. Adams had wifely defined to be the
bearer of the treatyi
anil a Hoop of war to carry him ; when the mef
bge, as had been prattifed, might as well have
been sent by the captain of a private Ibip to Mr.
Murray : 60 oco dollars expences ot the Bolton

[Bejion Qntinel.
Upon the above article, a writer in the Guar
dian makes the following pointed and jolt re
marks, which will be assented to by every well
informed and candid reader :•—
- 3d. 60 000 dollars are said to have been expend
ed on the Boflon, to accommodate Mr. Livmgllon
with a pafTage to Frarce. In thisthere is not one
syllable of truth. The Boflon was fitted for a
crtiife, and destined for the Mediterranean Ration,
and on hes way thither, tock Mr. Livingston to
I'Orient. Even her cabin was unaltered, as file
bad been previously employed-in bringing Govern
or Davie and Mr. Swift from Fiance, by orderof
Mr. Adams. Mr. Livingflon's farther accommo
dation did not colt the United States a Billing,
as he I id in his own ship (lores, &c. &c.
I have said that these three direct lien, were
backed by much misrepresentation, and I now
proceed to prove what 1 asserted.
Iff. By the manner in winch Mr. King is men
tioned, it is insinuated that the practice offending
minitiers abroad in national vessels, was entirely
a practice of the present administration.—This is
however, utterly taffe. Mr. Ellsworth u ent to
France in the United States, Capt. Barry—Mr.
Davie returned from France in the Bolton, sent
thither exprefsiy to bring him and his colleagues
—and the Maryland was prepared to carry out
Mr. Bayard.
del. One thousand dollars are said to have been
given for auxiliary council to the Attorney-Gen
eral. Admit the fa& ; Let me ?fk whether it is
new to give the Attorney-General such aid ?—
who paid Mr. Hamilton, &c. when employed as
council "in the contetted question of the constitu
tionality of the carriage tax ? Wasit Mr. Lee, or
was it the United States ?
Congress hate it in contemplation to make
cohfiderable variations in thd exiting Bank
rupt Law.
The bill for repealing the Internal Taxes,
passed in the Senate of the U. S. on the gift
ult? 15 to 11.
On the receipt of,the decision of the Honfe.
of Representatives, of the U. S. on the Bill
for the repeal of the Stamp A&, & other
internal taxes, a number of the citizens of
this Boroughs aflembled and announced the
agreeable news by 16 discharges from a piece
of ordnance, which was well wadded once
Or twice with Stamps. [Stonington Paper.]
3d, It is fai(l 18 000 dollars have been loft in
outfits of two ministers sent to replace those who
were recalled. Mr. Humphreys was recalled
from Madrid, and Mr. Pinckney fubdituted in his
room. This, however, is but one—let me now
alk friend Nicholas [Nicholas Power, editor of the
Poughkeepsie Journal] and his Junto to find the
other. Willi.m Smith was recalled, but was not
replaced—John Q. Adams was recalled, but was
not replaced—Wm. Vans Murray was recalled
but was not replaced—Mr. King was Bill left at
London, and, till Mr. Livingston went, we had no
minister in France. Thus almost every Federal
affection turns out, when examined. When the
most truth is told half the affection, at least, is
found to be a lie.

On Tuefday and Thursday last, the inhab
itantsof Salem were alarmed from fires. By
the firft, a negro house was confirmed, and a
black woman who was in bed in the cham
ber, perished in the flames. The other was
in a houle in River-ilreet which was got un
der, but not without confidcrable damage to
the building and its contents.

In the late papers we have been told that
the present Congiefs have raised the salaries
of a number of the higher officers of the
government : and they have vauntingly giv
en, as they pretend, a just view in two fep
urate columns of the salaries of those officers
at the commencement of the present year,
and of the salaries, as they fay, row railed,
the fa& is otherwise. The salaries of the
several (officers therein mentioned, flood at
the films placed in their firft column, on
the 2d of March, 1799, when the then Con
gress palled “ an a& to Augment the sala
ries of the officers therein mentioned 1" In
which it is enabled " that in lieu of the sal
aries heretofore allowed by law to the offi
cers of the government of the U. States,
herein mentioned, the following annual
corn pen fations be and are hereby granted to
the said officers refpe&ively, from the com
mencement of the present year," and then
fixes their compensations refpt&iveiy at the
sums in their second column. The period
for which this law was enabled having ex
pired, there was no provision for any
salaries to these officers ; and it became ne
ceflary for the present congress to take their
fubje& into consideration. They merely
revived and continued the hit mentioned
aft : so that the several officers receive no
more for their ferviecs now, than they did
three years ago. (Chron.

" For several ages, the pirates ot Morocco, Al

the commerce of the Meditteranean. At latt,
however, it appears that the two powers to whom
it naturally belongs to teprefs these barbarians,
have agreed to put an end to these disorders.
England and France have determined to effect
that objeft, whiclf"nothing but the want of union
among the powers of Europe has hitherto delay
ed. ft appears, by letters from Tunis, that two
frigates, the one English, and the other French,
entered that port, and made the following prop

2. That all the piratical vessels fliould be dis.
