The base motives of the Federalists daily
become more apparent. Bayard, the cham
pion of the fed, has lately brought forward
to Congress " a Resolution to indemnify the
Citizens of the United States for depredations
committed on their Commerce, by the
F ench, during the late war in Europe."
Was this motion prompted by a desire to
restore the property to our Citizens, which
they had been plundered of ? No. For
Should out Government attempt to make re
paration, it would be no more nor left, than
to take from one part of the community,
by taxes, and give to another. Every re
fleding man in this country must perceive,
that their object is to buoy up their finking
cause, by appearing to advocate the rights
of the people. But Americans are not so
dead to their own interett, as to forget that
the Federalists in the Senate of the United
State infixed on expunging that article ot the
French Treaty, which provided for the
reparation of their p/underd property The
wish of t'hefe felf-ftiled friends of religion
and order, then, was to prevent the ratifica
tion of the Treaty, by destroying the most
valuable part of it, and thereby plunge us
into a war with France.—Their obje& now
is to embarrass the present Administration
as much as possible, by increasing the ex
pences of Government, and by creating o
pen hbftilities with Spain But, thanks to
Heaven, that illustrious Patriot is at the
head of Government, whose vigilance will
Ward offthe evil designs of the federal fac
tion, and whose virtues will command the
applause of every good man. Sal. Reg.

Republicans, salute the morning,
Ufher'd by a nation's voice ;
Freedom's Sun's again a dawning,
Thousands on this day rejoice.
Vive a la the Conflitution,
Jefferson and Liberty:
Freedom's Temple from pollution,
Now shall flourish great and free !
Lo ! the reign of terror vanquish'd,
Jefferson assumes the sway;
Gags and dang'rous fyttems bauilh'd.
Sons of Freedom, hail ihe day !
Vive a la the Constitution, &c.
Error is difpell'd by reafen,
And the federal sun descends ;
Those who triumph'd tor a season,
Have to yield to Freedom's friends !
Vive a la the Confutation, &c.
Delnfan to her hell retires—
Lifts no more her hated head ;
The flame of old each bosom fires,—
Foes to Freedom fink with dread !
Vive a la the Conflitution, &c.
Plenty smiles throughout the nation,
Godlike peace pervades the land ;
Virtue has regain'd her llatian.
Justice lifts aloft her hand !
Vive a la the Constitution, &c.
Sycophants who cring'd for favour,
Loud complain their day is o'er ;
On our fields enrich'd by labour,
Standing Armies reign no more!
Vive a la the Constitution, &c.
Money is no more expended,
To flipport a useless band :
Th' by of Fed'ral foly's ended,-
Millions saved to onr land !
Vive a la the Confritution, &c.

Rolling from each venal Press ;
Loft is all their fancy'd grandeur-
Sons of Freed m to oppress.
Vive a la the Conflitution, &c.

Safely rides upon the wave ;
Faction's (form, tho' not subsided,
Never sh di the bark enllive.

Last Week's Omissions.
A NEW SONG,
Every thing on the Continent of Europe
difeovers that the indemnifications will be
accepted. The new arrangements in the
German Empire will probably be accomp
anied with some great changes in the privi
leges of the Germanic body, and a new
division of the power is contemplated. A
particular number of electorates is mention
ed, but upon the uncertainty of conjedure
only. At a convention held at Berlin be
tween the Mini Hers of Prussia and the
Batavian Republic, his Prussian majesty
was pleased to renounce to the republic the
sovereignty of Huiffen, and several places
claimed by the Dutch. Ofnaburgh, on the
Bth Nov. was in the pofleffion of the troops
of his Britannic majesty, and the sovereignty
in due form had been acknowledged in his
person. It is said that the King of Sardinia
was to make use of the mediation of Spain
to obtain the indemnifications which had
been promised by France, but as the news of
the return of this Prince to his dominions had
been announced, these measures may be in
tended as an accommodation under his fuffer
ings, and not as a demand on the First Con
sul. We are not left at liberty by the cur
rent reports to fay that no military prepara
tions are made which difeovered national
jealousies, but the accounts are very incon
filtent. Reinforcements for Gibraltar are
mentioned, and Malta is not forgotten. So
many times we have heard of fleets ready
for sea from France, and so often have
been disappointed, that we mtift leave this
intelligence till it is more direct. It is now
confidently said, that the naval preparation?
at Toulon by no means agree with the re
presentations which have been given of
the Hrangth or number of the fleet at that
port.
From the Weft Indies we do not difeover
that the mos tpacific measures have been
pursued between the Englilh and French,
nothing of a general nature has transpired.
Guadaloupe has been represented as very
sickly, and it is said a destructive fever was
raging in that Island. In January, the
negroes were in great powet near Cape
Francois, and there were no forces in the
Island of St. Domingo, to make a formida
ble opposition to them.
At Alexandria, in the 8 last days of
January last, were infpeded 10,059 barrels
of Flour.
The New-York Assembly have appoint
ed Mr. Southwick their Clerk. Their
Treasurer has failed, and is deficient of pay
ment for above 30,000 dollars. Genera!
Bayley takes the place of Gouverneur
Morris, in the Senate of the United States.
