It will bexecAllected that the “Whig” warm'y es
paused the election ofjafnes Madison, ami tliuo
dered its anathemas with indiscriminate virulence
against every person who opposed the caucus no
mination. ft seems however, from ths two fol
lowing articles which are copied fiom that paptr,
that scarcely twelve months ol the presidential
term has expired before we find that he is assail
*d in that print with the keenest severity and the
harshest languaga of reproach.—Sic Irnnsit glo

in congress, and the dishonourable attitude of your
beloved country, among the unions of Ore world.
I will be Candid on this, as on every other topirk {
and admit, that if rumour whispers troth. Mr. Gal

The U. S. brig ferret, Lieut. Gadsdck, arrived
yesterday from a cruize, last from Norfolk, \VV
are informed, that when the ferret Hist came in
sight of the htrr yesterday the French privateer
stood towards her, no doubt in the hope that she
would prow a bon prize ; but when she perceived
her to be a vessel of war, she immediately put a
bnut dnd raft into shoal water for protection, un
dauntedly supposing her to be an English Vessel.
Respect of French Privateersmen for A/ncncan
trills.—Yesterday evening five dray loads of go..ds,
consisting of silks* ca nbrirks, britaftniRs, &C. to
the amount of 3 or 10,000 dollars, were seized by
the custom-house officers and lodged in the public
stmes. They were part of ihe plunder brought in
to ibis port on board tire schoonrr La Rtntuiche du
LnJ, and were seized oti account of being illicitly
conveyed on shore. The public know bln half of
the tool play of this privateer. Shfe came in here
undi-r pretence of being iu distress, and has taken
advantage,of the friendly shelter given her, to make
S.lesol merchandise to more I haft the amount of
15000 dollars to discharge the bills of »>pairS, when
very one knWW* tffat less than that sum would buid
her out and out, and equip, her for sea. She pie
t'-nds to have been blown off the coast, while all her
men were on shore, in a heavy gale of Wind, whirb
no body knows or has heard any thing about. And
now, alter having lain in our Waters for more than
a month, her’'tifticSrs have had the audacity td bring
their goods into the city in opposition to the law*
df ttitf rnhiitry.
A conversation held by one of these privateers*
men with a friend, that was overheard in the puh
liok baths of the city, would throw mbre light up
on the principle* ami views of these violators of
our law*. Some night work also, which has been
going on between the privateer and the shore would
throw addition ,1 evidence in the hahds of the defen
dams in a prosecution made un behalf of the Re*
vunche da Li rf.
We have nothing id do with making apologies
for those who art in defiance of the law* o! the
country.—fiat JeutUia,

The srhooner Dolphin, Captain AckWnfth, from
Key Sale, wa* brought tf» about eight o'clock yes
terday morniim, nfl the north bar, by the French
privateer La Ruvancht Un Cerf, and while she wa*
in the act of lying to, the Frenchman tan under
her stern and poured a volley of musqnetry into
her ; while nil lh* officers,- passengers, and crew of
the Drffphtn Were Upon deck, add the vessel* with*
in hslf pistol shot-of each other ; fortunately one
shrit only took effect, which pierced and broke the
arm of Mr, Kolev, a passenger on board. After
committing (bis Unprovoked and wanton attackup
on a defenceless vessel, they told captain Ark worth
to go about his business.—The Dolphin belong* to
this port, and has only been absent twenty day*
on her present voyage; she was perfectly well
known trt the nfiicars ol the privateer, they having
beeh frequently un board her, whila the vessels lay
near, to each other at Gadsden's wharf, before the
Dolphin sailed on her present voyage.
