a Randolph’s political complexion, there
ia certainly a very strong resemblance
between it and rhe colors of the plant
in question ; for he is, undeniably, at
different times, 44 white, red, blue, and

riously, i^ieed!) intermixed.
The President of the United States
has received from Spain (via Lisbon)
two full-blond Merino Sheep. We
\, undestand that there have also arrived,
bv the same conveyance, two Merinos
for Mr. Jefferson. It ia believed that
the climate of Virginia is propitious to
* the rearing of this description of sheep.
‘ The observations which the late con.
du6t of the Congress of the United S ates
has drawn forth from Republican prints,
ought not to cxhjferate the federalists.
Such animadversions, from newspapers
notoriously friendly to free institutions and
avowedly the advocates of the adminittia.
tion, furnish the best evidence of iheir po
litical probity ; and fully demonstrate to
- the public that with journals of thtt de.
4 scription, the hono-- and interest of the
country are objefls paramount to all per

* think there is) a deficiency of talents in

great men, as the a’mies of Napoleon
and the councils of George the Third
will testify. The history of the fedctal
par y itself furnishes further proof of the
fadl which we have-asserted in relation to
the aristocracy; for at what period since
Mr. Jefferson’s first election to the p:e
* aidency have the outs been enabled o
raise a plausible J'rem. against the admin

tales from Democracy ? — Who, that has
marked the conduct of Mr. Randolph,

will presume to question what we ad*

A RIOT!
With the deepest regret, we announce
to our fellow citizens, that owing to
the disorderly conduct of a few despi
cable vrretches, healted (probably) by
the fumes of Whiskey, the peace of our
town was much disturbed on Sunday
evening.
Late in the afternoon of that day, a
riotous disposition appeared in a num
ber of Sailors at Kockets. Several
peaceable citizens were insulted, a
carriage broken, and the civil officer
in th^ldischarg of his duty was braved
and puy^it open defiance by these ruf„
fcans.~ It was some time after night
before the riot was quelled and not
till the military were called out & 20 or
30 of the ringleaders taken into cus
tody. Some of the party, we under
stand, escaped in Chesterfield (the op
posite shore) and were fired on by the
militia. Happily, no lives were lost.
To the honor of our city, this is the
first, (and we hope the last) disgrace
ful scene of this kind ever acted in this
place.

The documents respecting our foreign
relations, recently commumc Utd to Con.
gresss. present some gleams of hope that
the two great belligerent powers are at
length about to awake to a more correct
perception of iheir true interests. Our
readers will l ectli^ct that France has stea.
d«Jy justified her Berlin decree, as a re.
tabation for previous violations of neutral
rigl^fi by G. Britain and that ti. B. has as
invariably jus ified n> r orders in council
as retaliatory ol the her! n 1t T^easwhif*
e:ch governmcn has ail al ng uv »wcri its
readiness to rescind its edicts, provtdec
, its enemy would in the first instance
set the example of revocation. Wt
have not ceased to protest against tht
> weakness of this de ence by uig.ng thiC
, neither btlligeren^ in retaliat ng on th<
. other, possessed thejust power to prostratt
t the rights of an honest unoffending neu.
, (ral But our remonstrance, tho* unan
, swerable, has proved unavailing
. '1 he letters ot General Armstrong
* and Mr Pinkney to the Secretary el
* State shew that the sincer ty of boll
governments is likely to be soon pu
to the teit. France has unequivocally
declared her readiness to rescind he
He rlin decree, in case England pre
viously revoke her (procla nation
blockades of France, and iWr Pirikne
has addressed Lord Wellesley on th
subject, whose answer may be expect
^ ed by the John Adams. It such block
adcs do not now exist, and the Britis,
j government shall ofhciully say sr
France will be bound in honor to re
j vokJ^her Berlin decree j with that de
crec the pretext for the orders i
count'd will be removed, which, a
* soon as revoked, will lead to the re
peal of the Milan decree, thus involv
ing the demolition of nearly the whol
1 fabric of restriction and violation c
neutral commerce.
If such British Blockades (of ante
rior date to the Berlin decree) sti
exijtinro British govern • ent is boun
j by every dictate of justice, as well a
regard for her own plighted word, in
stantly to withdraw them, when sh
* is made distinctly to perceive th
l they are the only existing cause t
the French edicts now in force.
5 If, then, England either revoke h<
block vie orders, of date interior toth
1 Berhu decree,or formally declare tha
none such exists* 2nd France refuses
to revoke her Berlin decree, she will
stand self-condemned before the world
as the violator of n utral rights. If,
on the other hand, England refuses to
tike this step, after so fair an offer,
she will stand in the attitude of the
original aggressor, and must be View
ed as an inexorable oppressor, who,
under false pretexts, is aiming a dead
ly blow at our maritime existence.
In either event we can be at no loss
to decide which government is to be
viewed as most hostile to ut,

DARING OUTRAGE AND IN
DIGNITY.
The schr, Dolphin, Captain Ack
worth, arrived last evening from Salt
Key, was bro’c to yesterday morning,
oir Capers’s Island, by the French' pri
vateer La Revanche du Cerf, lately
repaired & refitted in this port. White
the schr was lying to, with her crew
and passengers on deck, the privateer
passed under her stern, witnin half pis
tol "shot, and discharged a vollev of
musquetrv into her, which wounded
one of the passengers, but providenti
ally did no other damage. This wan
ton and unprovoked outrage upon an
unarmed and defenceless vessel, is
greatly aggravated by the circum.
stance, that the Dolphin was Will
known to the privateer, as the two
vessels lay near cacmnncr at uausuea s
Wharf, not a month ago, while the lat
ter was repairing j and during which
time, the French officers were fre
quently on board the Dolphin.
