lar officially to the Consuls and Vice Consuls
in the different parts of the U States.
Under date of the 27th Apr.I last, I am infor

Ferdinand the 7th, and in his name the Regen
cy of the kingdom, has been pleased under the
existing circumstances, to grant to neutrals and
allies, admittance in the ports of Havanna, Cuba,
Trinidad and Matanzas, with such articles as
are stipulated in the commercial arrangement
of flea trade of 1778, conditioned that the pro
ceeds of importation shall be exported in the
fruits or produce of the Island, causing by this
lot aus and the same terms and extension of trade
to the inhabitants of that Island and all the per

traband trade or importation of French produce
or manufactures, it will he required that such
shipments be accompanied by his majesty's Con

clearance, without which documents no vessel
■will be admitted to an entry. I communicate

RICHMOND, JUNE 12, 3810.
Legislature of Massachusetts;
We have seen, that the Senate of Mass,
consists of 40 members, that there was one
vacancy, (viz. in the Bristol district,) and
that the 39 members attended on the 1st day
cf the session.—On balloting for the PresL
dent, Mr. Otis was .found to have 19 votes,
and Mr. Dana 18 ; each of these gentlemen
threw away their votes. A majority of the
whole members present being necessary to
make a choice, the ballot was cf course
■without effect. On the 2nd ballot Mr. Otis
withdrew ; and the votes* were IS to Dana,
19 to Otis, 1 scattering. Four other ballots
, were taken but with the like success; A
proposition was then made, on the rcpubli.,
can side, that the Senior member take the
chair, until a President could be regularly
chosen—the proposition was superseded by
a vote of adjournment. On the next day,
(Thursday the 31st,) the Senate resumed
their ballots, when the votes were 19 for Mr.
Otis—IS for Mr. Dana, 1 scattering. On the
nextballot, Mr.D. withdrew, &Mr. O. had
39 and Mr. 1). IS. The committee then
reported that bite Hon. Harrison G. Otis was
chosen President. Air. N. Collin was re.,
elected ('In k.
The first Rule adopted by the Board, was
-That each member of the Senate (of
course the President) shall have an equal
l ight to speak in any debate, and vote on
any question. This Hies in the face of a
standing rule of that board, by which the
President was “ never called on for a vote,
unless in case cf an equal number of votes on
each side.” “By the present prder of
tilings,” says the Patriot, (we do not mean
the Pseudo .Virginia Patriot ) “ his vote wiil
** never he necessary unless it be to arrest
“ the progress of Legislative proceedings
“ and to play the Dog in the manger. If
“ he cannot feed himself, to starve his neigh -
*• hours.”* On the next day the two houses
met in convention, to supply the vacancy
in the Bristol district-the whole number
of votes, 639 -of which Nathaniel Morton,
jr. Rtf. had 346—majority 53—Mr. M is
consequently chosen. Thus the Senate is as
nicely poised as itcan'be—20 Peels against
20 Republicans.
In the II of R. the Republicans began on
the threshold——A motion was made to re
turn a vote of Thanks to the Rev. Dr. Pu_
rish lor his Flection Sermon, delivered on
the 30di, before the three branches of the
government. This was opposed by Mr
Sprague of Salem, on the ground that the
discourse was a l’bel on the general admin
istration, and that it should neither have his
thanks nor his vote to print it. Mr. Foster,
of Littleton, entered thoroughly into his
views and moved, that the further considc
ration of the subject should be postponed hill!
Monday tiie 4th insr.—r'.io was can' d, 276
to 25“-majority 19. It is realty time
this system should have an end—-— that this
factitious union between the Church 3c State
should be dissolved—-—that ministers of the
Gospel, when in the pulpit, should be coi fi
red to their only tine sphere, the preach
ing of the word of find-and such bigots
Messrs. Philips and Morse and Osgood
should no longer be encouraged to hurl the
thunders of the Church against the friends of
the republic.
On the 1st init. the Committee of both
houses, that had been appointed to count and
examine the votes for Governor ancl Lt.
Gov. presented their report, which was read
and received.

councillors ; we presume, Republicans.

Connecticut.'
The Legislature of this state adjourned on
the 30th ult. after a calm session of 21 days.
The principal point which engaged their at
tention, was the Schoolfund. The Connec
ticut papers tell us, that a new a.reugement
of this extensive national firo/icrty has been
made, and the management of it is commit
ted to James HiUhoitsr, Esq. one of the Sen
ators from that state in the Congress of the
U. S. H7* The people of Virginia will not1
see, without a blush, the Eastern states out- |
stripping us in the Career of Education-j
and that the schoolfund of Connecticut is so ;
extensive as even to draw a member of the i
Senate of the U. S. to become its commissi. J
oner;
On accepting this new appointment, Mr. I
H. resigned his seat in the Senate. The !
Assembly proceeded to choose a successor, i
and Samuel It'. Dana, Esq. was appointed.
In the H. of R. the votes were
For Mr. Dana 137
— Asa Spalding 19
In the Council, Mr. D. had an unanimous
vote.
Mr. Dana was a member of the present
H. of R. of the U. S.-perhaps one of the
most virulent and opinionative men in it
And yet he does not command the entire con
fidence of his party-they say he deals
too much in concessions. lie was, however,
the very first man who came out in opposi
tion to the resolutions of Mr. Giles_the
very first man in Congress, who took an open
and decisive stand in the defence of F. J.
Jackson, against his own country. The Fe.
deralists will not he benefitted by these
changes. They have lost a flippant declaim -
er in the Lower House. In ihe Senate, they
have lost one of their staple politicians, and

3 Volumes, which have been translated into ,
English, accompanied with an excellent map !
of the captain-generalship of Caraccas_j
Depons is however to be read, cum grano I
salts, wi h some panicle ot allowance_
“ from the strong disposition, say the E i
dinburgh Reviewers, to flatter the Spanish ;
government with which he evidently set i
out.” 7
l he population of the City of Caracras
has been underrated in our public, prints.
This town is the Capital, not onlv of the
province of Venezuela, where it lies, but
also of that immense extent ot territory oc
copied by the governments of Maracaibo,
Vurinas, Guiana, Cumana and the island of
Margaretta ; since it is the seat as well of
the captain generalship, whose civil and
military authority extends over all the pro
vinces, as of the royal audience, the inten
dancy, and of the consulate, whose limits
are the same as those of the captain gene
ral.
It is erected in a Valley, about 2000 pa
ces square, and 450 feet from the gate of
Pastoia on the north, to the river (iuira,
which bounds the city on the south. Ac.
cording to the Parish certificates of 1802, it
contains 31,234 souls; but according to the
remarks made on these returns by Depons,
there arc from 41 to 44,000 persons. Nr r
ly l-4ih of this population is whites, a third
slaves, a twentieth, the Indians, and the
Freed .persons the rest.

The federalists will loose ground in the

nate, Mr. Pickering will be 'out, in all
human probability ■ -Mr. Hillhnuse will
be out, and in his place, a less capable
successor.-As to the House of Repre
sentatives, Mr. Dana will be out
Mr. Gardenier will be out. P. B Key is
contemned, as having been a British pensi
oner.
i)/* And by the way, is it not somewhat j
curious, that this gentleman who proves to
have been a British pensioner, should he so
generously rovered by the mantle of fede_
rai forgetfulness, whilst General Wilkinson
is hunted down on suspscion only ? Yvhere
is this Saving virtue in’P. H. Key? Why
; is it better in him to be proven guilty, than for
another to be suspected? Is it in his stars ?
or is it from the superior excellence of gold
to silver? Do British guineas tarnish the
palm less than S/ianish milled dollars ?
On the other hand, the republicans are
not only t!ie gainers in point of numbers, but
of endowments. Dr. Mitchell will be with
them. And young Spaulding, of New York,
Mho ranks as a man of talents. Mt*. Ilcnry -

they appeal to Robertson and even to Morse j
—they seem at a loss where to lock for in
formation--but the latest and most au -
thentic authority on this subject is Depons,
in “ A voyage to the Eastern part of Ter !

mcrica during the years 1801, 1802, 1803
and 1804 See; See.” He styles himself
Ui'e agent of (he French government at 1
Carracas-and was once under the aus-j
pices of l.e Clerc, wheH that general was!
at St. Domingo in 1801, at the head of the 1
unfortunate Expedition to that agitated Is-}
land. From Le Clerc he received <*, 1000,
the most earnest exhortations to continue1
but fea^t deserving of such a preference
-from the exposure of its harbour,
the shallowness of its channel, and other
causes. 'lh:s town has arisen upon the ru
in of Caravalleda, which was depopulated
in 1586, by the resolution of the people to
abandon their habitations, rather than sub
mit to the impositions of their governor.—
I^a Guiru is the residence of very few mcr
chants- the cargoes are deposited here
—.hut the mercantile arrangements are
made at Caraccas. The Ordinary GarrL
son of the place is a company detached from
the regiment of Caraccas—The population
of the town is 6000 persons of whom 3000
are in the gun boats, 711 form the garrison,
or are stationed in the Guarda Costas or
Gallies.
Porto Cavello, an excellent Sea port to
the westward, is indebted ror its origin to
the smugglers—these naturally shunned the
move frequented parts, Sc clandestinely ilia*
charged their cargoes at this point. A vast ex
i *cr,t of contraband trade is still carried on
through its intervention. In 1801, one bun
died vessels were employed in that com
merce, uiul goods to thtfwimount of 1,004,636
| dollars were exported Horn this depot.
\\ hat more incontestably displays the
wretched government, by which these people
have been ground down—and the necessity
of some important innovation ? Every thing
was subjected to the gripe of a most odious
monopoly—the merchants of £patn were
permitted by law, to be the only usufructua
ries of this lucrative commerce—and “ the
merchandize from the metropolis arrived so
overcharged with duties and expenccs, and
tire colonies of other nations could furnish
the same articles at such interior prices,
that a profit remained to the contraband
trader which induced him to defy the fiscal
laws and all their agents.” This port, the
best in all 1 erra Finna, is the deposit of all
the Eastern part of the province of Venezu
ela—the wh ole population is about 7500.
Valciicia is in the interior, Hb'mt half a
league to the west of the Lake of Valencia
——its population, 8,000 souls, most of them
Creoles. “ Everything from the interior of
j the country, shipped at Porto Cavello, goes
through Valencia, as that which is des
tined tor Laguira passes through Caraccas.”
Coro is near the coast, to the West of
Porto Cavello, about twenty' four leagues
VV. of Caraccas its population 10,000.
Cumana, in the government of Cumana,
is near a quarter ot a league from the sea
——and is the seat ofgovernmet for two pro
vinces ; one properly called Cumana, and
the other Barcelona- 'the population is
24,000. 1
JVciv.Barcelona has 14,CCO souls-half
whites, half persons of color. It is the
entrepot of an extensive contraband trade,
with Trinidad, &c.
The isle of Margaretta is eight leagues
distant from Terra Firma, separated by an
arm of the sea, and might, according to
Depont, under a system of free commerce,
beeome the entrepot of Cumana, Barcelona,
Caraccas, Laguira and all the cities of the
Interior-the whole population is 14,000
—5.500 whites.
We shall pa -s over the cities of Mara
j caibo, on the left bank of the Lake of the
same name, six leagues from the sea
I Merida, Truxillo, Varinas, and San Tho
| mas, the capital of the province of Guia
I na-A description of these cities, and o
1 ther minutioc, would swell beyond the limits,
* hich we have assigned to this sketch.
Such is the population of the principal
cities--tlie numbers and the productions of
the Captain generalship itself, were sketch
ed in our last.
The government of this extensive coun
try, was partly from the Spanish Court, and
partly municipal. The Viceroys and Gover
norsofthe Provinces, the royal audienza,
and the intendanis or superintendants of the !
finances are of the first description.
1 he municipal authorities, arc the Ca
bi/dos. which flow mere immediately
from the people; The former must necessa
rily cease (so far at least as respects their
appointment) with their connexion with the
mother country-the latter may go cn as
usual.
I he C ouncil of Indies, in Spain, has a
considerable influence over the offices flow_
ing from the mother country. It has cogni
zance, by means of appeal, of causes decided
by the audiences. The presentation to all
important stations, civil and ecclesiastical,
the police of the tribunals, military esta
! blishment, finances, commerce, £cc. have
, their source in this council.
I 1 he Captain-g-neral, is the king’s vice
rny, he is governor and president of the an
dienza and of all the tribunals, except those j
which relate to the royal treasures and to j
commerce. He has complete control over
| t!\e whole military establishment. As cap
, tain general, he arranges the political re la
tions between the colonial governments of
foreign powers and his own district.-As
i Governor, his authority is circumscribed
I to the province of Venezuela. Cumana, Gu
. iana, Maracaibo, and thelfieof Margaretta
* have, each, their own Governors, who have
jthe same power in rivil affairs as the Go
vernor of Caraccas has in his own district.
; The term of Captain general is for 7 years ; &
! their’s 5 years.
! The audienza has almost every thing sub
miitolto their jurisdiction and censure ; no*
j only the administration of justice in cases of
appeal ; but even the cognizance of appeals
from the sentences of the ecclesiastical tribu
nal.
The Intendant, or Comptroller, is su
preme in financial matters; he is in cilice for
live years; under the title of his delegates,
, l|,e governors of the provinces administer
the public money within their respective
! jurisdictions—but without his concurrence,
they cannot authorise any extraordinary
expenditure.
The Ctibilrfnst are a municipal 'corporation
-they are compared to the municipalities
established by the constituent assembly, tho’
without a mayor. 1 heir Alcndett correspond
with the municipal officers ; the regtdora
lorm the deliberative body ; a ay n die cor
tcspnnds to theja; torney of the commerce ; Sc
a register. The Alcades are two in num
ber, chosen by the Regidors, every vear ;
the i' gidors by the people, their office is
tor life ; they vary in number according to
the size of the municipality, seldom more
than 12, and never less than six.
We shall reserve for our m > t, the ec.de
siasucal and military establishments, the
I education and manners cf the people ; and
the probability of achieving their Indepen
dence of nil European nations; which we
most ardently wish them to attain. These
are interesting subjects of speculation. We

teemt mending to our readers tne 2nd Art.

'1 he truth, the galling truth, is nut to be
concealed, that we are a disgraced natirn ;
the love of money has prostrated our public
measures-the spirit of commercial ava.
rice has shed its malignant, stupefying ve.. <
nom upon our councils-A golden calf
has stood up among us, and we have bowed
down before the idol.-. . We must arouse^
from our prostration. Every friend of his
country must be up! A foreign storm, tm..!
like any thing that we have v. fathered since
i the revolution, is lowering over us ; and our
|consciousness of the danger is still further j
heightened by the imbecility which has
marked our own Congress in' steering the
national barque,
V, hen we traverse the course which was '
taken during the Embargo-and since!-!
wo feel a sentiment of loathing to which tio
deset iption can do justice. “ 1 liese’Ufre the
times that tried men’s souls”-Lint these1
men ilinched !-.hey abandoned the helm;

junto-(hey flinched ! and we were dis- j

substitution of something more energetic •

same imbecility has continued the infatua.
tion. They shrunk at first-and they have
been shrinking ever since. We have fallen
li..e tile angels from Heaven——and we
have gone on falling, like Lucifer, “shorn
ot his glory ——with accumulated velocity,
into that “deeper abyss,” from which we
should have originally shrunk with instinct
ive horror. And where are weiiow.? Our
seamen are in chains; our commercial
rights are ravished by British lust; old in
sults at e uncxpiatetl ; and new aggressions
are perpetrated by the blind rapacity of
England. In France, our property is sc
perhaps swept off for ever.
Taese are no times for adulation or for
temporising. Let Pecans be suag in honor
0! llie raen wl»o deserve them. Let the
I oil of flattery be poured on the heads of the
weak by the hand of the vicious. The truth
must be spoken. Our disease must be known,
neiore the remedy can be akministrred.
Our national character is tarnished—we are
disgraced in the eyes of Europe. And what
is worse, these very representatives to whom |
the people had commuted the majesty ot the
nation, have tarnished it. The people must
arise in the mightiness of their elective
tranchise—St dismiss these unworthy repre- J
sedatives from their confidence. Those!
must he struck ofi, who have shrunk from
their duty ; and such as have pursued the
gootiiy path of the national independence,
must be encouraged to go on.
Uur manutaccures are progressing ; the |
resti ictions on our exterior commerce are de
veloping our internal resources. These fur
msli us with one source of consolation and
hope. They should be prompted and encou
iaged. But the arm ot the government to_
wards foreign nations must be re-sinewed.
I he dismission of Jackson was a strong Sc
meritorious measure. The minister, who
dares to insult our government, is no minis
ter for us.- I his step would have made a
most serious impression upon the Court of
St. James’s ; but all its fruits were blighted
by federal opposition. Mr. Jackson obtained
adherents, and we have lost our redress.
But Mr. Madison owes another measure to
the nation ; Sc this should be among the first
*n ^le carver of re_gcneration,
j‘/r. 1 in.cney should be recalled from Lon
don.
]f there is to be no British diplomatic
functionary in this country, higher than a
Charge d’sfffairs, entrusted with the ‘ordi
nal y concerns* of the two countries, our own
minister should be immediately withdrawn
from G. Britain. Minister against Minis
tfL».CharBe d’Affaires against Charge d’l
Affaires ; are at least fair equations. Mr.
Lyman as our Charge d'Affaires. is just as
good a man as the Charge d’Affaires Morier,
or as Pinneas Bond, the refugee.
'Phis is one of these cases, which might
be settled on its own merits only. Vet some
reasons might be found in the violated
plt uge of the British Secretary to send a
“ successor of rank and talents.” Others
will find fresh inducements in the oo
po-ition which they have made towards hav
ing any ministers at all resident at foreign
courts. Borne may even urge this step on
the ground of their objection to the actual
resident minister.
Oa this last head, we must make n few
remarks. Mr. Pinkney has, nn vine orc'v
sions at least, acted well. His letters to the
government in September 1809, breathe the
vivacity of youthful feeling, and the enthu
siasm of an American Patriot lie clings
to the Embargo, as the shield of our rights
»l2 tells hs with a sort of prophetic snirit
h..w we should be placed, if we were then

wh.ch would chng to us in this new career
<»t vassalage and meanness; and tedious to
pursue our backward course to the extinc
non cf that very trade to which we had sa
crificed every thing else.”
These things are well—the thanks which
they have deserved, would not have been
cancelled by the idle vanity of a Lulu to
shine at Court in Diamonds rr in Lace-_
those diamonds, perhaps, which might have
been hired for the night. But we are cbli
