the public coriasity was strongly excited by the ur
rirai here of a chaml-eilam of the king,- from Paris,
ill great haste. His despatches cdeasiontd ati im

on the important changes which are to take place

MONDAY EVENING, APfllU KS, 1810.
The brig Dart, Captain DisaJ, from New Or
leans went up the Bay on Friday, baling on board
General II 'ilk in tori.
The intelligence from England via Boston, tho’
three weeks Liter than we had before received is not
interesting. These accounts however corroborate
in part the statements which have appeared in this
paper, respecting the general conduct of the Frenrh
government, and its cruisers, towards (be commerce
of the United States. Our readers are requested fp
peruse tha extracts made from the Paris Papers,
they speak of burning this American vessel, and
making prize ol that, with as much indifference as
they would announce a: hunting party of the
(•■and Empernur. But we have become so accus
tomed to this treatment from France, that it excites
no sensation in the country, except to rouse the in
dignation ot the partizans of lire Corsican against
those who have the independence to expose such
treatment.
The John Adams having sailed from the Downs
for the United States on the !4th of February may
be looked for every hour, or rather it is presumed
she h is already arrived at a northern port. It is
expected that the despatches by her Will be defini
tive as to our all.iirS with France.
I Dcmocratick Management*.—Dfuriaa the Fe
i deraf administration in 1798, 1799. and 1800, the
naval establishment cost the United Stains about
seven millions andja half of dorian; ; during the three
last years of democrat it & administration it has cost
upward, of six millions—but Juark the difference!
lh tore the federal administration fitted <>nt the na
vy< the T rentll (taptures had became so alarming
as to raise the premium ot insurance to the West In
dies, for the single risk, froBi twenty to twenty-five
per cent—before our navy had been fix months out,
the premiums lell to six per cent, a saving of twelve
and a half per rent, at least,
i'he exports of the Lulled States to the West ladies
i are estimated at \6 millions per annum, on
I ^ which 12.\ percent, is § 2,000,000
; *^,e tonnage employed in theii* several
vovaaes. valued at 4,000,000 at 12$
perff,lt- .000,000
; Impoits Iff,000,000 at I2| per rent. 1,875,000
[ Duties arising from imports on Wrst
Ipdia articles amount generally to
about 4,500,000 per annum, saved
in risk at 1$ percent. 56?..>00
S 4,907,.100
Thus the navigation', onr commerce, and revenue,
to and from the West-Indies owfy, were benefited
nearly five millions of dollars annually, in the pro
lection which the navy afforded. It would fall
short of the actual amount saved to onr country, if
tve were to pul down the amount saved to our reve
nue, commerce, and navigation to all other parts of
the world, at tl ree millions, making eight millions
of dollars annually saved by the federal administra
t.nn, from which can only be deducted the expense
first noticed, averaging about two and one third
on floors per year. Another cirerfmsfanre ought to
be noticed. The federal administration built most
of the frigates now on hand—Let us turn to the de
worratirk administration—We challenge any of
their advocates to shew what protection the navy
under Mr. Jeiieisonor Mr. Madison has afforded ?
Knowing the deadly hostility which the lute ad
minisfratiun had (o the navy, we should not be as
tonished if the expense has been incurred, while
ihe navy was unemployed, to excite publick odium
-*ol a piece with this management were (he gnn
boats, those monuments of folly and extravagance!
