We understand that a considerable
alarm prevails in Scotland, in conse
quence of the emigrations to Ameri
ca, of perlons, some driven from their
small farms by the extention of Sheep
walks, and others invited away. The
earl of Selkirk has a great project in
his hands. He has a&ually engaged
many hundreds or thousands of Scots
farmers to go to America, where he
will purchase lands. Lond. Oracle.'

If the federalifts have to wait,
according to the Centinel, until
the new order of things in this
country is subverted by the arts &
intrigues of the high-flying New
England demagogues, they must
have a great deal of patience'
For is it most likely that every
other State in the Union will sub
mit to them ; or that many hon
est persons who yet move on in
the lean majorities in Conne&i

soon dilcover that their late de

of a few, and in their own humil

The following Message and Documents]
wtrgfct to tbt Lgflaturt of Nrajork.
Message from Governor Clinton. 1
GENTLEMEN, I
I herewith transmit to you a report of.
a committee of the house of reprefen-I
natives of the congress of the United
States, at their last session, " upon foj
'much of the President's message ofl
the 15th of Dec. last as relates to thej
militia institution of the U. States;" I
together with a copy of a letter from'
the President, urging the necessity of
vigorous exertions on the part of the ,
state governments, to carry into effect
the militia system adopted by the na-;
tional legislature.
The importance of these documents'
will be readily perceived. And per
mit me to call your attention to mea
sures for arming the militia, for pre
scribing the duties of officers, for as-1
certaining relative rank, for exacting
the necessary returns with promptness, }
for more readily difeovering delin
quencies and mifcondud, and for au
thorifing such alterations in the exit
ing organization of the militia, as to
render it more conformable to the mi
litia system established by congress.
GEORGE CLINTON.
Albany, March 25, 1803.
[Here follows the report of the H. of R.]
The President to Gov. Clinton.
WaJhington City, Feb. 1803.]
Sir—ln .compliance with a requelll
of the boufe of representatives of the|
U. States, as well as with a sense of|
what is necessary, I take the liberty i
of urging on you the importance and
indispensable necessity of vigorousex.
ertions on the part of the state govern
ments, to carry into effe& the militia
system adopted by the national legi^
lature, agreeably to the powers reserv
ed to the states refpe&ively, by the
coriftitution ofthe U. States, and in a
manner the best calculated to insure
such a degree of military discipline
and knowledge of tallies, as will, un
der the auspices of a benign Provi
dence, render the militia a lure and
permanent bulwaik of national de
fence.
None but an armed nation can dis
pense with a (landing army. To keep
ours armed and disciplined is, there
fore, at all times, important—but efc
pecially so, at a moment when rights
the most essential to our welfare have
been violated, and an infraction of
treaty committed without colour of
pretext; and although we are willing
to believe that this has been the aft
of a subordinate agent only, yet, as it
is wife to prepare for the possibility,
that it may have been the leading
measure of a system: while, therefore,
we are endeavouring, and with a con
siderable degree of confidence, to ob
tain by friendly negotiation, a peace-t
able redress of the injury, and effect
ual provision against its repetition, let
us array the strength of the nation, &
be ready to do with promptitude and
effea, whatever a regard tojuftice
and our future security may require.
Accept assurances of my high con
sideration and refped.
(Signed) TH: JEFFERSON.
To his Excellency the Governorl
of the state of Newyork. J

While some of our own citizens are
employed in traducing the character
and measures of those who administer
the public concerns, and in endeav
ouring to convince us that we are an
lunhappy nation,it may not be altogeth
ler uninteresting to notice the opinions
entertained abroad of the government
and its measures, in countries where
there are neither temptations of prej
udice or interest to form too favorable
an estimate. We sincerely believe
the following extra& from a late En
glish print of the firft refpe&a,bility, a
disinterested and intelligent reprefen
;tation of the eQimation in which our
igovernment and people are he d by
!Europe; and as such, we preterit it as
lan evidence of the wifdoin of our po
litical indications, ofthe fidelity with
Iwhich they are executed, and of the
unrivalled prosperity of our country.

'• The picture which the message of
I the American President has drawn of
the increasing prosperity of the Unit,
ed States, cannot fail to diffufe uni
versal fat sfaClion. It affords the hap
pied illustration of the wisdom ofthat
; policy which has preserved to Amer
- lica the blessings of peace, while, for
ten ye^rs, Europe has been defolaied
and afflicted by all the horrors of a
I war, unparalleled in the misery which
lit has produced in the hiftory of mod
lern times. This pidure mud, by the
people of this country, in apeculiar
manner be contemplated with the
deeped interest, as ^t irresistibly fug
gefts a consideration of the compara
tive situation of this country at the
present moment. From year to year
the public burthens of the people of
America have been diminishing and
the extinction of the public debt has
been proceeding wi bout the smallest
interruption. From year to year the
public expenditure has been lessened
and national economy has been pur-
Ifued with greater ardour. From year
to year public abuses have been cor
-Irented, and public improvements have
Ibeen introduced. Public tranquility
I has not for a moment been disturbed,
ana no human lives have been loft
for the gratification of ambition or the
lull of p!wer.'
66 While Europe has been deluged
with biood, America has been blessed
with industry, with commerce, with
internal repose. How very different
a profped does the situation of this
country for the last ten years present
to our contemplation. Year after
year has added to our national expen
diture, and to the burthens of our pos
terity ; year after year has diminished
the comforts of honest industry, and
decreased the number of citizens con
tributing by their labour to the gene
ral interest of society. That nation
al estate which ought to have been re%
served for emergencies which involves
whatever interests are most important
tq a people, has been dilapidated in
the prosecution of a contest begun
without necessity, carried on without
talent, and terminated by disappoint
ment." London pap.
WAR with ALGIERS?
Salem, April 12. By the ship
Margaret, Capt. Cleveland, from
Salou, near Barcelona, arrived
on Friday, in 35 days paflage, we
have the following information :I
The Margaret was at Malta I
the loth January, where she left
the frigates Chesapeake, John
Adams and Newyork, and the
fch'r Enterprize, bound off Tri
poli in a day or two. —-The Ches
apeake was to come home shortly,
under the command of Capt.
Baron. Bonaparte has declared
War against the D, of Algiers.
This news was not doubted at
Barcelona. It was reported that
the Dey had made enormous de
mands upon England, Holland,
Sweden, Denmark and the U. S.
The Tripolines were expelled to
come out in the Spring, and the
Americans complained loudly of
the want of some small cruisers,
which would be much more ser
viceable than frigates.
