afraid, from what I heard before we had any f.nmv

.treaty .between Franco and Holland, ratified outbV

as.t most maternal passage has lieen omitted; To
what rs this owing? Ought nut the pefljde to ko<uv
the whole troth, without any thsgnfse ? We rut Hu
no charge, bet to oar mind the thing has a very
singular appliance.
'I he to!low ing is the French paragraph transmit
ted r.y Gen. Armstrong, together with the traosla
.ion of it, as tt appeared m the government pa
per :

THE GOVERNMENT TRANSLATION.
“ All tnc merchandize conveyed into the ports of
Holland on board American vessels since the firt day
of January^ 180J). shall be pat under sequestration,
subject to the disposition of Franc', according to cir
cumstances, and the political relations with die Hint
ed States.”
litre we find the vrrv important words ft nppar
trundront, and shall belong to, wholly o»iit
trd in tiie above translation. Unjust and flagitious
-as this article of the treaty appears from the gov
ernment translation, yet it looks infinitely worse
when the translation is faithfully made.—It might
to have read thus !
All the merchandize conveyed into the ports of
Holland on hoard American vessels since the first
day ol January, lROf), shall he out under sequestra
tion, AND SilALl. BELONG to h'ranre, m order

the political relations with the United States.
We now u'k, why has tins omission of a most
impoitant passage in an important document been
made ?—Freeman's Journal.
A Precious Cor.frsxvm !
The Aurora of Saturday, speaking of the British
brig of war below, savs, “ Indeed it be should think
it fit to come up to Philadelphia, and levy a con
“ trilution, there is nothing that we art aysare of
“ competed to interrupt his passant”
This is monstrous. The editor of the Aurora as
h lieut. colom 1 ol the United States’ at my has long
had the military command ol this district in which
Port Mifflin is situated, and having received a very
handsome yearly compensation lor his services, it
was to have been expected tint he would have had
the furl lortitied in the best manner ; and we well
knnw that wjien so fortified a fleet could not pass it.
But oh most inattentive and miserable officer! he
now tells us that a brig of 18 guns cannot be pre
vented from passing it and laying the city under on
[trihutinn! 11 such is really the case, ami we have
the public k declaration of col. Duane that it is so,
what has become ol the immense sums of money
appropriated by congress to repair Port NltfHm, or
ol what benefit to the counlty lias been the i.oasteej
military knowledge and talents ol lieut. col. Duane ?

DEMOCRATIC^ OPINIONS.
QUESTION.
If five months Seem as long as twelve, to the
merchant and farmer, (who can amuse themselves
by a thousand expedients) how long must the
same spare appear to the Impressed seaman?
Should Mr. Madison reflert on the awful situati
on of our impressed srameu ; would he not call con
gress together, and advise theca to take effectual
means ol procuring relief ?
We candidly declare, that the government that
does not protect its citizens, is not only unworthy
of support, hut (hies not deserve to exist. England,
•ci andenrci old Engl ind, would not endure the tin
pres-onenl ot her su’jcrts; ;>enre would not (teat
it; Denmark would not sutler it—hut, it is patient
ly borne by a nation which boasts of superior mo
rality, hon«ur and independence Whig
DILEMMA OR 80 DILEMMA f
Mr. Pinkney wrote a private letter to otir gov
ernment, last winter, whlrlj store appear* to have
been tncoirert, and Urliether through simplicity or
dii’gn, IS immaterial, calculated to deceive us,_
Our government published a part of it in substance;
now if they refuse to recall Mr. Pinkney, n.ay it
not be said, either, that he wrote no surh letter ;
or, that our cabinet knowing he aid write sum a
one, are willing nevertheless to patronise a dupe ,r
a deceitful agent ?—This we humbly tb’ink, would
be « dilemma, Uet them take the bull by tbe horns,
as John Kando'.nh would say, and discard Mr. Pink
ney—tbe federalists would then have tbe benefit of
his testimony, a^l tbe pleasing conversation of *
county companion. Ibid.%
\Ve hear, that General Smith has at last be n^Hi
duced to notice the gloss «nd malicious slauders oT
the Federal Republican, by instituting a suitagainst
its editors. It seems estrctpelyabstfm to accuse mja
o! ‘ French influence,* moreespecially since we b*«e
seeu the senatorial rtyayt-df April 1803: Many ha
ficve that the adoptionthat report indicated a
towards England-; and (bat it was an, h»
poli tc and unmanly depaiture from matter of tarl",
«tf» at undnnment of ilia true line of ducriminatwn. ;
a fertile source of many of oar present calamiues.
So monstrously silly is th* charge of French iftflu
ence, that »e imagine there is not a aingfr federal

belief of its existence. But, ibecli "* " *
