The present argument before the Supreme j
Court was for the purpose of obtaining a
reversal of the sentence of condemnation
given in the Court below, but after a full
difctiflion, by Ingerfoll and S. Levy for
Plaiuiffio Error, Rawle and W. Sargent;
for D«feodent. The Court affimedthe de- :

In our report of Saturday refpefting the
proceedings before the Supreme Court of
the United States ; we stated erroneously,
that no judgment had yet been rendered in
the cafe of Bass againfl Tingey. A decifi
orr, in faft, took place on Friday, in which
the judgment of the Circuit Court which
decreed one half the value of the ship Eliza
and cargo to the recaptors, by way of fal
rage, was affirmed. The Court pronounced
their opinien, SEPA R ATIM, and the que/-
tion of WAR OR NO WAR, as it refpcßs
the re'ativc fituat'ion of the United States and
the French Republic received a solemn AF
FIRMATIVE and unanimous adjudication.
The period at which this state of things com
menced, wae dati'd on the 7th July, 1798,
when C >ne;refp, bylaw, declared the Trea
ties between the United States and France,
no longer bincing. from th=t 'me, a
'qualified and r ftrioied state of war has ex
isted, and the French nation have been ever i
since entitled to the appellation of " ene
mies" to the American nation. The con
ftruftion neceflarily French, with
in the meaning of the exprefiion used in the
7th feftion of the aft of Congress, entitled

this recapture, entitles the recaptors to one

HIGHLY INTER2STING.
" A man mud be very simple to believe
that the mechanic arts (such as those of ci
tizens Barker and Sir. Vizzi) 3re to
be acquired without the help of a due ap-
and proper mailers, and that
the knowledge in governing dates, which
is the highell degree of human prudence,
deserves no previous labour and application."
Such were the observations of a man long
conversant in public affairs, a philosopher
who had read men and books, a statesman
who had served his country in peace and
war ; and yet I am certain the enlightened
orators and patriots of Pennsylvania will
think them beneath their notice. If we
may judge from the pall, they will proceed,
as they have begun, in jumbling and confu
fing public affairs, and in lifting them/elves
and their base favorites into office, 'till by
their numerous blunders they have plunged
poor Pennsylvania into the lowed depths of
disgrace and contempt.

" But, said Glauco, there is still another
means whitb you have not mentioned; a
state may be enriched by the ruin 0/ it's
enemies. * You arc in the right, replied
Socrates. But that depends upon it's being
the strongest ; otherwise it incurs the dan
ger of lufing what it has. For which reason
lie who talks of engaging in a war, ought
to know and consider the f rces on both
fides; that if he firds his own party flrongeft,
he may boldly advifr the war, and if the
weakell, he may difiuade the people from
undt rtaking it. Now do you know thr
strength of our Republic, and it's relources,
and .thbfe of our enemies, fcy sea and land ?
Have y«u a 'late of them in writing ? Be
so kicd to let me fee it. Have it net at pre
sent, said Glauco. I fee then, said Socrates,
" that we (hall not presently enter into a
war. if you are charged with the Govern
ment ; for you have abundance of inquiries
to make, and much pains to go through,
before you can fafcly resolve on it.
" He ran over in this manner several o
ther articles no less important, with which
Glauco appeared to be equally unacquaint
ed ; 'till he brought him to confefs, how ri
diculous those people were, who have the
raflinefs to intrude into government, with
out any other preparation than that of an
high esteem for themfelve», and an immo
derate ambition of rising to the firft places
and dignities. Have a care, dear Glauco,
said he to him, least a too warm desire of
honours should deceive you into pursuits
that may cover you with (Tiame, by setting
your incapacity and slender abilities in a full
light-"
" Meeting him one day he accosted him
so happily with difcouife, that he ei\gaged
him to give him a hearing. You are desi
rous then to govern the Republic, fa id he
to him. True } replied Glauco. You can
not have a more nobfe design, replied So
crates : for if you succeed, you will have
it in your power to serve your friends effeftu
ally, to aggrandize your family, and to ex
tend the confines of your country. You
will make yourfelf known, not only to
Athens, but throughout all Greece, and
perhaps your renown, like that ofTheinirto
cles, may spread abroad amongfl the barba
rous nations, lti (hort, wheiever yoti are,
you will attracl the refped\ aud admiration
of the whole World.
" Since you desire to be efleemed and
honored, no doubt your view is to be ufe
ful to the public ? Gcrtainly. Tr* me then,
I beg you, in the name of the Gods, what
is the fir ft service you propose to render the
State ? As Glauco feensed at a loss, and me
ditated on what he (liould answer ; I prc
tume* continued Socrates, it is to enrich it,
that is to fay, to augment it's revenues
My very thought. You are well versed then
undoubtedly in the revenues of the State,
and know perfe£lly to what they may
amount : you have not failed to make them
your particular fludy, in order, that if one
fund (hould happen to fail by an unforeseen
accident, you might be able to supply the
deficiency by another. I protest, replied
Glauco, that never entered into my thoughts.
At least you will tell me to what the ex
pellees of the Republic amount ; for you
mud know the importance of retrenching
such as are fuperfluous. I own lam as lit
tle informed in this point as the other.
You mud therefore refer your design of en
riching the (late "till another time ; for it is
impossible you (hould do it, whilst you are
unacquainted with it's revenues and ex
pences.

having received for some time the lessons of
the sophists (the fame as our Beei-Houfe
orators) Hvho prcmifed to make them ver
gretit politicians, conceived themselves capa
ble of every thing, and » p red to the highest
employments. One of these, named Glauco,
had taken it into his head so strongly, to
enter on the adminiftraton of public affairs,
that none of his family or .friends were able
to divert liiin From a design so little corG

who had an afr;t\ion for him upon account
of his family, was the only person who
could prevail upon him to change his reso
