A UTILE SNUFF.
There w?a a gang of thieves once in England,
whose custom it was Us watch persons engaged
in counting or receiving money, to accost them
with smooth words, and then throat snuff in thtir
cyst, meanwhile they made off with the plunder.
The following is only another kind of snuff, it is
not calculated to titilate the olfactory—to sneer
ing ; but has & little <£mA of Hosz-water to affect
the senses and lull them into a stupid eonJUenet, in
a power that has decCh ed or destroyed every na
tion in Europe with whicli it has had any political
connexion. The following is the kind of trash,
which is attempted to be thrown in the eyes oi
'tfie public by Bronson's Gazettce s
There appears to hi* to be a total misapprehensi
on, in the minds of many, of the object of Mr. Rose's
mission to this Country, and y/ the consequences
which may be expected to follow it. We understand
that he is coming, not to enter into a discussion of
our differences, gent rally. With Great Britain, but to
inform our government what reparation his court is
witling to make for the attack on the Chesapeake,
and to attempt a separate adjustment of that affair,
which, by the strange and insidious instruction* to
cur ministers, had been inseparably blended with our
gtneral claims upon the British government.
We have not the least doubt that there is a t<5tal
misapprehension in the minds of many, on the ob
ject of master Rote’s mission—If any one will re
fer to the proclamation of gen. lord Cat heart and
admiral Gambitr On landing near Copenhagen,
they will not have any cause of misapprehension,
unless they are incorrigibly stupid or abandoned
to profligacy or the seduction of British gold.
He is coming bare “ in an cmicable manner
end no doubt sir John Soria sc Warren on the sea
board, and sir James Craig on the land board, will
second his amicable views.
But the Gazette of Bronson affects soft lan
guage ; though Phineac Bond has not yet disco
vered. that the abuse of the American govern
ment, is not exactly calculated to produce the ef
fects he expected; has not the failure of the im
pudent memorial trick, taught them caution even
. at the eleventh hour ?
Their snuff will not blind the eyes of Cougrees
?11 tire Rose water of England would not be suf
ficient to w.»sh out the blijod that was shed on
boat’d the Chesapeake
But, says this utensil of England—“ We under
lie f Rose,J is coming, not to enter into a discus
sion of our differences generally, but to inform
Our government of “ what reparation Great Bri
tain will give—and to attempt a separate adjust
ment,” &c.
Why this is such impertinence, to call it by no
.Tor?e naTne» as cannot find a parallel in the
siccus of another nation on the globe ; the splen
did knavery of Hastings in Asia,"fades before tins ;
there it was only picking a pocket with one hand,
and destroying the Mogul with another, the petty
rapine at Benarc6, and the imperial robbery’ at
Delhi, were deeds of inferior enormity in a moral
view than this. Look, at the case.
A ship of tliis independent nation, going to sea,
is followed in our own waters, and a measure of
dishonor required, w hich was not only never ask
ed of any nation before ; but the dishonor was en
forced with treachery, violence and mwder.
The dishonor required, was the search of a na
tional ship.
This was refused to be submitted to :
The national ship w:'s fired into •
Several Americans murdered :
The ship boarded :
The crew mustered:
Several Americans who had been before im
pressed, and effected their escape, were ta
ken strain.
. One of these men, an unfortunate man of the
♦tame of Wilson among them, and perjured vil
lains were suborned to swear that Wilson’s name
teas Jenkin Retford—and upon these perjuries, the
hi an was murdered.
And we are told hy this uler.il! of an English
consul that, Mr. Ilose ia coining to atteliipt a “se
parate adjustment of the affair.”
A separate adjustment \ ! !
A separate adjustment of what ?
Of the murder of Pearce ? No.
Of the insolent conduct of Love, commander of
the Driver ?—No.
Of the blockade and seizure of our ships off N.
York ?—No.
Of the demand to search our ships of war !
If this is the object of the separate negocinti
«n—why tho matter is at an end, the country will
never submit to it.
But it may be the hoarding and mustering the
crew. If so, why have not Strachan and his
fcomrades been sent home to their families > Is
this the “ amicable way” in which they mean to
offer reparation ?
But it may not be either of these, it may be the
firing into our ship—or the violating of our territo
ry
But look at the violation of our territory and
laws, only last week, in Lynhaven bay.
Yet it may be intended to provide for the fami
lies of the murdered men.
No doubt after the manner of Copenhagen.
Buthoware these things to be separated ?
The whole forms but a ctuo~-and is iecaouble of
separation.
Let us see what will the people of America say
to it—
Either the whole of the acts are wrongs, or
some of them arc wrong and others not._V/lio
will shew which are not wrongs ? We cannot
discover theirt.
Wi ll then to treat separately, wcj muat either
admit that some rtf the wrongs are no wrongs_
or that We are willifijt© Bear some of them in or
der to get Mr. Rose to make an apology.
Will the people submit to this ?—We venture
to say they will not.
Well, then what follows ? The course, if we
Ho not very much mistake, will he something in
this way—After Messrs. Jor.d at Philadelphia,
Barclay at New-York, Alien at Boston, J/amilton
at Norfolk, and a few more underlings hove labor
ed with might and main to impose an idea upon
the public! that thet’c combined outrages, may be
pr.Kcelh d into “ halTperlhs and pennerths” and
each part diminished in atrocity, in proportion to
the number of parts into which the whole is di
vided—Mr. Rose come t ith his scheme of cute
gorirals prepared and his first question will he
“ Arc you Yankees prepared to treat separately ?”
Here is an abstract question which Would ad
tnit of as many diplomatic notes as the negotia
tion* of Knatadt, and which have in view exact
ly the same purpose—procrastination and deceit.
The next step would be for Messrs. Bond, and
Rare lay, ahd Alien, and Hamilton to raise a cla
jhnor that the government would not treat.
That it was determined upon war.
That it was sold to Prance.
That-^-ih a word, all the old English lies from
1756 to 1806 would be vamoed
Then by a writ regulated concert between those
four chit f tpiee of England > wc should see tlie

FOR SALE, lhat well known and valuable
FARM, on Chiekaliominy ri\er, formerly
the property of Mr. Thomas Watkins, dcc’d. a
bout 14 miles from Richmond, containing 545 a
cres t r very considerable part, is valuable swamp
Land, a part of which is reclaimed, and now in
meadow, from which I have been orcd'bly inform
ed, that Mr. Watkins in his life time, cut up
wards of 150 ton in the year ; there is about 120
acres of the swamp Land now in timber, and
could be reclaimed at a very inconsiderable cx
pence, to make it produce* at least double the
quantity of hay, that has been formerly cut. There
is a considerable quantity of cedar on the high
Land, and I believe full sufficient to line the
greater part of the plantation in. On thi3 plan
tation, is a tolerable good dwelling-house, kitch
en and a very good bam, wiih several out-houses
for the negroes : also, an excellent voung apple
orchard ofaboul300 bearing t^ees independent of
the old orchard, of 100 more of the be9t fruit, and
about 300 peach trees, selected from the best kind,
with a variety of pears, cherries, ar.d all of which
are choice fruit. There is also on this plantation,
a very valuable mill seat, on which there was for
merly a good grist mill, and from information, u
sed to receive from 50 to 60 barrels of toll corn per
annum. Last year I erected a new mill houso on
it, with a considerable part of the running year,
finished, and for about 100 dollars’ expehce, the
mill could be completed. Few plantations in this
country, possess more natural advantages, as the
whole of the meadow can be watered from the
mill stream. This farm is worthy the object of
any person who is fond of farming, and can be
made us productive as any in the a cate, for the
number of acres it contains. I am satisfied, to a
nv man, who would turn his attention to making
of hay, the product of that article alone, would
be from 4 to 500 pounds annually, independent of
com and wheat. To any person inclinable to pur
chase this f.\rra, 1 will give acredit of 3 years on
paying down l-4ofthe purchase money, on se
curing the balance by a deed of trust on the pre
mises. DANIEL L HILTON.

Stonsnn’s v'.'Yvite is preparing- ,ut for tlu^V
•trps, and othet panels arc seduced hup siruJ:u
subserviency to British views.
Twelve motvUu ago, any man that would dare
£ advocate the search of a national ship, would
ve been tossed in a blanket as a fool or treated
with a Yankee suit at a tory / but the emissaries
of Britain have labored so incessantly, that the
public ear, like the morals of a prostitute, have
become gradually c allous and unfeeling to the in
decency so often repeated ; these arc the effects
of foreign Influence on public morals and national
character ; the effect on the authors and abettors
6f them, they ought to calculate in time ; for
when evU arises, ami the evil dav cannot be far off,
these things will be called up into the tninds of
men who now treat them with tolerant liberality
or contempt—they will then be remembered ami
numbered among the causes of public calamity.
Why a fellow professing *o be an American,
should be so abandoned to depravity, as to give
countenance or currency to the idea of instructi
ons being intidiotu, because they conld not sepa
rate the combined outrages as matters of discus
sion—nothing but the corruption of £nglish gold
can account for. Aurora.
The British government have appointed George
Rose, formerly private secretary to Pitt, envoy
extraordinary to the United States ; than whom,
(excepting lord Sheffield or lord Melville) per
haps there could not be found, in England, a
mim more hostile to America, nor more accom
plished in all the viavs and meant of corruption.
*1 he two Rises, father and son, from very hum
ble stations (the elder a parser on board a man of
war) have, by the flexibility of their ethics, and
their accomodating temper to the court and cour
tiers, become among the most wealthy men in "En
Eland ; a considerable portion of their wealth has
een acquired by stock-jobbing, for Wliich their of
ficial stations, for a long course dfyears, furnish
ed them wirh favorable opportunities. From the
selection of such a character, ihstcad of a spirit
of ainitv or justice, we augur such an intention
as was manifested by the mission of Jackson to
Copenhagen ; most.probably, furnished with ple
nipotentiary powers, knowing the arcana of the po
licy of the British cabinet, he will come here to
play as corrupt a part as Hammond, as insolent as
Tru/a, and as flagitious k3 Liston. The presses
in British pay will hail his approach, as the hus
bandman hails tlie approaching shower that pours
fertility over his folds ; and :'is the sun-beam that
gilds the wavy harvest—and the Rose will be
celebrated in greater variety of strains than was
ever conceived by the prolific imagination of the
Persian poet—and, we have not the least doubt,
jvil! obtain as much homage and celebrity as the
R’jscs of Sharon, whose perfume, more potent
than the waters of Lethe, instead of creating an
oblivion, captivated and entlu-alled the senses.
