Interesting Political Miscellany.
FROM THE FARMER'S CABINET.
Is the Embargo constitutional?
The constitution gives power to regulate commerce. This unlimited embargo stops commerce. It puts an end to it.
Now how can Congress regulate what does not exist? A temporary Embargo does no more than to suspend, but does not destroy commerce. When the embargo was laid under Washington, it did not prevent the loading of vessels; it only prevented some of them from going out quite so soon as they otherwise would do.
But this unlimited Embargo destroys commerce. Has Congress authority to do this? No.
Is the Embargo then, constitutional? No.
Supposing it was constitutional, was such an Embargo expedient?
Some say the merchants would not have shipped any thing if the embargo had not been laid.
Then the Embargo was a very useless and foolish measure.
Some say it was to prevent merchants from shipping property and losing it!
Don't the merchants know better than any other people when it is safe to ship?
They certainly do.
Some say that insolvent speculators would risk and lose their property.
Suppose a few did, what then?
Wouldn't it be better that the rich merchants should lose property, than that the farmers should lose it?
Some say the Embargo prevents a war.
That's a bugbear.
Farmers! look to a statement or two.
The amount of exports in 1807, was 48 millions of dollars.
Of this, more than THIRTY MILLIONS might have gone to ports not interdicted by England, nor within the power of France, at the time of laying the Embargo. This result appears from the report of the Secretary of the Treasury for 1807.
Mind this, Farmers.
Now if the administration couldn't or wouldn't defend a part of our rights on the ocean, was there any reason why they should not suffer our citizens to exercise the remainder?
Certainly not.
Was the Embargo a good measure to save our seamen? No.
Our cities are in a great measure drained of them—the fleets of Quebec are thronged with them—if the voice of the people compels government to raise the embargo, we shall hear a terrible noise about these men who go voluntarily into the British service. It will be told how the British have impressed thousands of our seamen, when in fact they went to them of their own accord, for want of employment at home.
What then becomes of the assertion, a thousand times made, that the embargo is expedient?
It vanishes like smoke.
The Effects of the Embargo.
1. It hinders us from selling our surplus produce.
2. It links the price of our lands.
3. It prevents laborers from gaining employment, and distresses poor people.
4. It sends our gold, our young men, and our shipbuilders into Canada.
5. It enriches rogues at the expense of honest men.
6. It has a tendency to bring us into Lordships.
7. It cuts off the revenue.
8. It will oblige us to resort to direct taxes.
9. It will teach foreign nations that they can live without us.
10. It will injure our commerce for a great while to come.
11. It will make foreign nations think we are cowardly, and will not defend our rights on the ocean.
12. It will tend to raise the price of seamen's wages (if ever taken off) and that will raise the price of imported articles.
13. It will teach the country the art of smuggling, whereby the revenue will be depleted—or—
14. It will put the government to great expense in guarding the coast by gun-boats.
How came one to our present condition?
In order to determine this correctly, we are led to take a view of
The conduct of England, France, and Spain, towards the United States.
France and Spain. I might as well have mentioned France only; since it is well known that France has for a long time governed Spain.
Spain committed many injuries against us, in Louisiana and on the ocean.
We bought the right of France to Louisiana for 15,000,000 dollars; but Spain, to this
day, has never made any reparation for the repeated and aggravated injuries she did us.
France, with one word might have made Spain settle with us; she did not do it, but on the contrary told us plainly if we went to war with Spain, we must go to war with France too.
Bonaparte commanded us not to trade with St. Domingo.
We obeyed him.
At last, in 1806, Bonaparte, puffed up with his victories, and calculating on our submission, issued his Berlin decree, and in defiance of the law of nations, and in direct violation of his treaty with us, interdicted our trade with the British islands.
This decree, from the nature of things, was aimed particularly at us; there being no other neutral nation which possessed any considerable commerce.
One of Bonaparte's servants, to be sure, told Mr. Armstrong that the decree would not hurt us. But he did not tell the truth.
For, some months after, the decree began to be put in force against us, and Bonaparte told us he would make no exceptions in our favor.
And he made Spain publish a similar decree against us.
And to crown the whole, Bonaparte declared war for us against England!
And signified that he would sequester all American property in France, till he should know whether we would obey him.
Britain. We have long had disputes with Britain on certain subjects.
One is, whether we shall allow her to take her seamen from our merchant ships.
Another relates to our carrying from colonies to the mother country, in time of war, the produce of the colonies, which we should not be allowed to carry in time of peace.
On these and other subjects, a treaty was made and signed by ministers appointed by Mr. Jefferson.
About the same time, the French Emperor's Berlin decree arrived in England.
The British king then gave notice to our ministers that if we submitted to the decree of France, he should reserve to himself the right of retaliation.
Mr. Jefferson rejected the treaty, without submitting it to the Senate.
In June, 1807, a most violent outrage was committed on the frigate Chesapeake.
The British government, when they heard of it, disavowed the act.
The President issued a proclamation forbidding British ships of war to enter our harbors.
Britain sent a special ambassador to make satisfaction for the outrage on the Chesapeake.
This envoy insisted that as the British government had disavowed the deed, the proclamation, which it considered as an act of hostility, should be disannulled before the satisfaction was made.
Our administration did not agree to this, and the envoy returned without effecting anything.

FEDERALISTS & DEMOCRATS.
THE character and views of FEDERALISTS and DEMOCRATS in general are well illustrated by their respective conduct as to the embargo. The Federalists, pursuant to their sentiments of genuine liberty and republicanism, and with that openness and confidence which these sentiments never fail to inspire, publicly assemble in legal and constitutional meetings, and with the decision and boldness of freemen express to the President and to the world, a proper sense of their grievances and their rights. And if they wish their fellow-citizens, who possess the same rights and suffer the same grievances, to pursue the same constitutional measures for redress, they openly and publicly invite them to do it—without distinction of political parties. Thus the town of Boston called upon all other towns in the Commonwealth, democratic as well as federal; and the federalists in these towns legally assembled in town meetings, giving the democrats full opportunity to assemble likewise and co-operate with them, or assign their reason for dissenting, or act in any way they might see proper.
Now what, in the mean time, is the management of these same democrats, self-styled republicans? Why, regarding the interests of their party, more than the grievances of their country, without condescending to reason, they study to applaud the embargo in order to uphold the administration of their party. Party, not country, is the object of all their cares, solicitudes, and inquiries. Such an object not well bearing the light, they of course carry on their devices in secrecy and darkness. The grand central junta of democrats, in Boston, secret-
ly assemble and issue their edicts in the form of circular letters, which they secretly send to the petty juntas in the several counties, who again secretly convey them to every town in the Commonwealth, calling on their party to make the embargo popular, to applaud its policy, praise the President, and make all the display of unlimited confidence in him that is possible, or their party is gone forever! In obedience to these junta edicts the democratic Selectmen immediately set about answering the Selectmen of Boston, through the Chronicle , and send them long patriotic epistles with as much gravity, as if these same epistles were of their own head, and not dictated to them by the central junta . This they in general find much safer than to submit the matter to the people. In the few places where the junta have full influence, they adopt the latter mode. But their chief difficulty is in towns where they have little influence & no democratic Selectmen. The junta edicts, however, even in these towns are obeyed. Their partisans, as soon as a decent time has elapsed, advertise for a meeting of their party only, in the night time, on business of great importance! Curiosity to know this great business brings many together. Those who in public town meeting had voted against the embargo, must now sign a paper in favor of it. Great names set the example, and some little ones follow. A name is a name whether of freeholder, forreigner, or nonentity, and it is very easy to make up a little column of names, and still easier to trumpet to the world that they have about 300 taking due care that the said names be never seen, but by themselves and the President!
Such is the difference between Federal and Democratic Republicanism . Let any man, who would be a genuine republican, examine and compare for himself, and choose which class of men he will henceforth be ranked among.—N. P. Herald.
HEBRON PETITION.
The people of Hebron assembled on Monday the 12th inst. to take into consideration the expediency of petitioning the President of the United States, on the subject of the Embargo. Owing to the place where the meeting was notified to be held, there was not a very general attendance—However, after choosing William C. Whitney, Esq. Moderator, and hearing considerable debate the town decided in favor of petitioning, and chose a committee, who reported a petition to the town, after an adjournment of thirty minutes, which was accepted, and the same committee directed to forward it to the President.
To Thomas Jefferson, Esq. President of the United States.
THE Inhabitants of the town of Hebron, county of Oxford, (Me.) in legal town-meeting assembled, respectfully represent, that though inhabiting an infant town, a considerable distance from any navigable waters, their interest is deeply affected by the laws interdicting commerce. Your petitioners are farmers almost to a man; but they find the farming and commercial interests nearly related, notwithstanding the wicked attempt of some in our country to represent them as at variance.
In the President's answer to the Newburyport address, it is observed, that no change of measures, affecting neutral commerce was then known to have taken place in Europe. The inhabitants of an inland town cannot possess very ample means for information on the passing events; but they humbly submit to your Excellency, whether it is not now well ascertained that England has rescinded her Orders, as they relate to Spain—whether there is not the greatest probability the Spaniards will make a permanent stand against Napoleon, the scourge of Europe and the world—and, if Old Spain must finally resign herself into the hands of her oppressors, whether an advantageous commerce may not still be carried on with the Spanish West-Indies and her colonies on the continent, which, on such an event, will probably declare themselves independent.
They therefore pray your Excellency to suspend wholly or in part, the Embargo laws, according to the powers vested in you by Congress; or, if any doubt still exist with respect to the competency of those powers, we humbly request you to lay the matter before Congress, at an early period of their ensuing session.
Let not the President suppose a want of patriotism has dictated this petition. Be assured it is the voice of submission and distress—not the "murmur" of malcontents, as has (your petitioners believe) been falsely represented of similar addresses, from some of our commercial towns, by persons, who, professing much friendship & great "rev-
erential love" for your Excellency, are endeavoring to mislead your judgment with respect to the public opinion, and prolong the public calamities.
Many of your petitioners were soldiers in the Revolution, and all of them ardently attached to a Republican Government—are ready to make any sacrifices for its defence, and pledge themselves never to be wanting in the day of their country's adversity.
With sentiments of due respect for the Chief Magistrate of the United States, your petitioners are your dutiful servants.
COMMUNICATION.
[CONCLUDED FROM OUR LAST.]
To the Editor of the Portland Gazette. FROM THE WOODS, 8TH SEPT. 1808.
The leading democrats, not contented by the ordinary means of recommending themselves to office by virtuous conduct in aiding the execution of the laws, took a very different route; their object was to change the administration, and get a President who, by feeling obligated to them, would by way of remuneration, give them every office they coveted. Madison was among this class. Having become unpopular in Congress, and but a secondary character, under Gallatin, with his party, retired to Virginia, and there procured his election in the assembly of delegates in the legislature of that state. There he discovered the same disposition to thwart the laws of the United States that he had manifested while member of Congress; and the better to recommend himself to the party opposed to the general government, he undertook the defence of certain resolutions that had before passed the assembly of that state, and sent to the legislatures of the other states for their approbation, but which were treated with contempt by many. He was the chairman of a committee to whom those resolutions were referred, and upon which he made a laboured report the next session. In this report, after much sophistry and speculation, he brought himself to the conclusion, that whenever it happened that either branch of the federal government might not have duly discharged its trust, it was natural and proper, that according to the cause and degree of their faults, they should be brought into contempt or disrepute, and incur the hatred of the people; and that whether such faults or violations of duty as would justify the hatred of the people are at any time committed, by either branch of Congress, or the President, can only be determined by a free examination and communication among the people; and when this, in fact, should be the case, it becomes the duty, as well as the right of intelligent, faithful citizens, to discuss & promulgate them freely, as well to control them by the censorship of public opinion, as to promote a remedy according to the rules of the constitution; and that it cannot be avoided, but those who are to apply the remedy must feel a contempt and hatred against the transgressors.—I have not the report before me, but I believe I have given you the substance of its conclusion, which was undoubtedly intended to bring the then President and the federal majorities in the two houses of Congress into contempt and hatred of the people, or in other words, to displace the administration to make way for themselves. Now, sir, 'tis possible, that when Callender and Jefferson were publishing The Prospect before us , they were really convinced that John Adams was a hoary headed incendiary ; and consequently, under Madison's report, it was not only their right to publish it, but it also became their duty to make others believe it, that they too might hate and contemn him. This conclusion on Madison's premises will not be denied; but, sir, they must take the bitter with the sweet. This rule being laid down in a solemn legislative manner, must, like a good pruning knife, cut both ways, or not at all. If it was right for the democrats to use it against the federalists, will the federalists deny the right to federalists to use it? It cannot be now denied the federalists, against the democrats. Let the same rule be applied to Madison, who, as secretary of state, declared to one of the representatives of the people, that France wanted money and she must have it . Now on his own principles, ought not this man to be held in contempt and hatred of the people, whose votes he is expecting to make him President? What will not the man, who made this declaration
when secretary of state do, on a like occasion, should he be made President of the United States? Would he not at once give the money, as his predecessor had done in the affair of the Berceau ? It cannot be doubted. What, sir, but contempt and hatred ought to follow those who have passed a perpetual law putting an end to all foreign trade and commerce in our own ships and vessels? According to the account given by some of them, concerning their motives for passing the law, they did it with a blind submission to executive power, that would have disgraced the slaves of Turkey! Contempt and disgrace ought to follow the authors of those evils we now endure, until their effects shall be forgotten. Already we see the spirit of seventy-five is not extinct; and the votes in this state, last April and May, when the evils of which we complain were but beginning to show themselves, as well as the late elections in Newhampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and North Carolina, are evidence that the people , when injured and abused by their unfaithful servants, will, in a constitutional manner, do themselves justice.
I am, sir, with much respect, yours, &c.
Thomas Jefferson, president of the U. States, and James Madison, secretary of state, have each of them secretly accepted the title of member of Bonaparte's Legion of Honor. How are we to understand the meaning of the 9th section of the 1st article of our Constitution?—"No person holding any office of profit or trust under them ( the United States ) shall, without the consent of congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.—U. S. Gaz.
A gentleman of North Carolina, in a letter to the Editor of the Washington Federalist, states, "That in one of the districts all Mr. Jefferson's newly levied recruits for his army of 5500 men marched to the hustings in a body, and voted of course for his civil corps, as did also their officers and such of the navy as could be spared from the arduous duty of annoying our commerce. This interference of the military at our elections is illy brooked by the people, and was in defiance of the opinions of our soundest lawyers. We should like to learn from that profound civilian, Mr. Madison, or in some future number of the "FARMER," how far these votes of the soldiery have the sanction of his approbation."
The same letter says, "when it shall be understood, that at this time North Carolina has but one federal representative on the floor of congress, and that at the next congress she will have at least four; that there were but five federal candidates at the late election, all opposed by the now sitting members, and no opposition of any kind in several of the districts for which republican gentlemen are returned; that the current of public opinion sets "deep and strong" against those who have swindled themselves into the confidence of the people, and a conviction pervades all parts of the state, that by concert and activity, among the federalists, at the late election, its whole representation might have been federalized—it will then be perceived how little cause Mr. Smith has for the exultation which he affects at the result of our late elections, and which is but one of his accustomed tricks, to buoy up for a little the fainting spirits of his sinking patron. The ensuing election for President and Vice-President will, it is hoped, afford a juster criterion by which to test the strength of federalism, and the popularity of Mr. Jefferson's administration, in this state. We do not despair of the success of an unanimous anti-Madisonian ticket."
NEW-HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
At the late Election for Members of Congress, the result is as follows—
  Whole number of given votes 27298.   Necessary to make a choice 13650.   Nathaniel A. Haven, has 15015.   William Hale, 15024.   James Wilson, 14922.   John C. Chamberlain, 14965.   Daniel Blaisdell, 14967.   These five Gentlemen (all federal) are elected. 

Foreign Intelligence.
Received by arrivals at New York and Halifax—London dates to August 6.
London, July 30. We find by the Gottenburgh mail which arrived this morning, that the disposition both of the people and government of Denmark towards this country has undergone a very material change. By the judicious management of Sir James Sumarez, an agreement has been entered into with the government of Denmark for the exchange of prisoners, which has already been carried into effect. The prisoners taken on board the Prince Christian, have been sent home to Denmark, and in return a number of British prisoners have been sent to Gottenburgh. They speak very highly of the reception they met with among the Danes, and state, that the French though in the character of allies treat Holstein as a conquered country: the Danish arms and ensigns have been taken down every where, and those of the French substituted in their room. The report of an alliance, offensive and defensive, between Russia and Austria, continues to gain ground.
Letters have been received by two of the first mercantile houses in the city: the one positively asserting that Andreossi had quitted Vienna, and the other that the Austrian ambassador has taken his departure from Paris.
August 1.—It is said, that in the fifth expedition, which is to combine a large force of artillery and much cavalry, the gallant offer of some of the militia regiments will be accepted.
August 2.—We are happy to state, that the expedition has at length sailed from St. Helens, under convoy of the Audacious. The transports amounted to about 170, and contain from 14 to 15,000 troops. They will be joined off Plymouth by General Anstruther's division.
August 3.—Sir Thomas Dyer arrived in town yesterday evening, and immediately had a conference with his majesty's ministers. He had an astonishingly quick passage from the coast of Spain.
There has been no second battle between Cuesta and the French: nothing beyond affairs of out-posts. Sir Thomas says, he was present in the memorable battle of Cuesta, and he speaks with the highest applause of the impetuosity of the Spanish attack. Though undisciplined and irregular, their fury was irresistible. He saw four French regiments literally mowed down; but at the same time the fire of the French, their order and quickness, were most effectual, and the havoc was dreadful.
A Cottenburgh mail arrived last night. Since the glorious burst of patriotism in Spain, the war in Finland has ceased to occupy much of the public attention. The Swedes have of late not been successful against the Russians; they have been forced to fall back from some of the positions which they had occupied. But the capture of a very large Russian convoy of provisions will be severely felt by the enemy, who are in want of all kind of provisions, that they cannot for some time attempt any operation of magnitude.
The kingdom of Naples is destined for Murat—his successor in the Dukedom of Berg is not mentioned.
Tuscany is to be united to France, and a proclamation has been published, congratulating the people upon the honor of being adopted into the Great Family.
A new and unexpected change has again taken place with respect to the American vessels in French and Dutch ports. Letters have been received from Holland, stating that a new embargo was laid on all American ships that had touched at English ports, and the most rigid proceedings were expected to take place against them. This new resolution came from Bonaparte himself at Bayonne.
Haarlem, July 28.—According to letters from Paris, the Prize Court has condemned the American vessels the Mercury and James Adams, capt. B. K. Bangs, with their cargoes, bound from Philadelphia to this place.
A letter from Copenhagen, of the 9th, states the condemnation by the
Prize Court there, of the American ship the Margaret, from Baltimore, with a cargo, consisting of 140,000 lbs. of coffee.
Paris, July 23.—The Grand Duke of Berg passed through Lourde on the night of the 18th, to take the benefit of the waters of Granteretz. The Duchess of Berg is shortly expected here, on her return from Bayonne.
SEVILLE, JULY 6. On the 20th day of June, Señor Caro attacked Mancey between Quarte and Mislata, villages situated at a small distance from Valencia, and obliged him to retreat. The Spanish arms were crowned with a similar success on the 27th, in which the Valencians sustained a considerable loss, but caused a much greater one to the enemy. Our General had learned that the enemy meditated an attack upon the town that night, and to cover it moved under the walls. In fact, the French army began its attack at one o'clock in the afternoon, the 18th, with a brisk fire of artillery & musketry, directed against different parts of the town, principally aiming at the destruction of the gate of Quarte. He, however, was received with such vigour and steadiness by the batteries placed in the town, partly on the walls, and partly on the tops of houses, that on the approach of night, he retreated in complete disorder to his general quarters, situated between the two villages above-mentioned, and defended by a battery advantageously disposed. Under such circumstances, Messrs. Cervellon, Lomas, and Caro, desired to dislodge him from such a strong position, determined that the Valencians, Murcians, and those troops that garrisoned the town, led on by their respective commanders, should assault the trenches from all parts, which they did on the 29th. The combat was as obstinate and bloody as may be expected between two armies, the one superlatively disciplined, commanded by one of the greatest generals France boasts of, placed in the necessity of conquering or dying, animated by a succession of sixteen years' victory, and further stimulated by the quickest sentiments of religion, patriotism, and the love of liberty. The good cause triumphed at last, and the enemy was so completely routed, that from an army of 18,000 men, only one thousand made their escape.
BADAJOS, JULY 16. There are arrived in this city, Swifts and Portuguese cannoners, who had fled from Yelves. There are at this place only 400 men in garrison; the remainder, with Gen. Kellerham at their head, broke up towards Lisbon, which, it appears, is threatened with a speedy attack.
LONDON, AUG. 1. Saturday dispatches were received at the Admiralty from Sir Samuel Hood, dated off the island of Moen in the Baltic, on the 17th ult. They state that the Admiral had received intelligence from several gallies, under Mecklenburgh colours, that a French force of 90,000 men had assembled at Stralsund for the purpose of invading Sweden, and were in perfect readiness, except that they were obliged to wait the arrival of a great number of boats, which had been collected in the Elbe, and which were to convey them in the first instance to Rugen, where they were to be joined by the Spanish troops.
AUG. 4. Joseph Bonaparte is said to have arrived at Madrid so early as the 20th of July, seven days before he was expected. He was received with fallen silence; no guns were fired by the Spaniards, nor did any species of rejoicing take place on the occasion. The bell-ringers refused their usual office; which being considered as an unpardonable offence, three of them were taken into custody, and on the following day, after a summary trial, were put to death.
The people positively refused to assemble; and every appearance indicated a speedy renewal of the occurrence of the 2d of May.
In Arragon, Catalonia, and Valencia, the French army have suffered a diminution of near 40,000.
LONDON, AUG. 5. Sir A. Wellesley landed his troops on the 28th ult. in the river Mondego, and they advanced towards the great road to Lisbon; and partly in the rear of the French troops posted at Leyria.
AUGUST 6. Paris papers to July 24, are received. They contain not a word about Spain. An article dated Benevento, July 22, says the French Marshal Besieres, who entered this place with 10 or 12,000 troops, after it was evacuated by the Spanish Gen. Cuesta retired on the 20th, after laying waste the country. Cuesta retreated with the cavalry, leaving the infantry to their own disposal. It is said he has gone to join Pallas.
An article from Valse Viques, says the Patriots' head-quarters are at Marzanal. Cuesta suddenly evacuated Benevento, and retired towards Leon. In consequence of intercepted French dispatches, Cuesta dismissed the peasantry, ordered the cavalry to mount, and with the flying artillery, marched off suddenly at 12 o'clock at night, saying "Let those that are able and willing, follow me." Some persons predict some heroic achievement.
Gen. Blake now commands the army that was under Cuesta. There was a general illumination and ringing of the bells at Coruna, when Sir A. Wellesley visited that city.
Bonaparte has decreed that all American property seized under the Decree of Nov. 21, should be immediately sold, and the proceeds put into the Bank, to await the issue of negotiation.
Russia is said to have offered peace to Sweden, who replied, England must be included in the negotiation. Sugar and Coffee are advancing in prices. Russian goods have fallen again, from the expectation of peace. Manchester manufactures and woolens have risen, on account of orders for the Brazils. The Spanish Deputies have powers to open to us a free trade to Mexico and Peru.
All idea of evacuating the Prussian provinces seem to have been abandoned.
FROM NEW-ORLEANS, AUG. 28. Governor Folke, of West-Florida, has proclaimed Ferdinand VII. and War with France. In a proclamation dated 4th August, he says, "Spaniards! possessed of these blessings, we ought to believe ourselves capable of destroying him, who, by perfidious wiles, was able to raise himself to be Napoleon the First." War was declared against France, at Mobile, the 7th August, 1808.
By the Sails.
NEW-ORLEANS, JULY 15. The Embargo.—This appears to be the test of patriotism, but, alas, how few sit easy under it? Let the honest and virtuous citizen console himself with the hope, that good will be produced from evil; that the Embargo will produce a radical change in men and measures, that the wisdom and energies of the nation which have been for years inactive, will again be called into the field, and rescue us from disgrace. Should that be the case, America ought to rejoice, that folly and fear laid the embargo, and blind obstinacy has continued it.
PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. 23. We understand that a detachment of the newly raised army has been ordered to the Lakes, under the command of Col. Simonds, to catch Smugglers—If experience will ensure success, we have every reason to believe that Col. Simonds will execute his instructions.
NEW YORK, SEPT. 23. Communication.—Through the medium of the Register, I beg leave to communicate the following fact. It may be recorded, in that volume of irresistible testimony which already exists, of the Frenchified character of the democratic party.
A meeting was a short time since had by the friends of the Administration in this country in order to demonstrate to Duane and Jefferson, that their faith and attachment, were not less devoted to them, and their friend the mighty Emperor, than in any other district in the United States.—At this meeting, PETER BAUDUY, a Frenchman, who not many years since, sought an asylum in our country, attended to offer homage to his august master. This gentleman by his intelligence and former neutrality on politics, has been enabled to form a correct opinion with respect to the views of the respective parties; and much weight is therefore to be attached to the reason he assigns for assuming the name and character of a Democrat. Antecedent to the meeting, he avowed himself a convert to Jeffersonian principles, and declared his reason to consist in the attachment of the Democratic Party to his Nation; and that, as they were the advocates of French measures, he would join and aid them by his influence. It is not unworthy of remark, that Mr. Bauduy has a brother, high in command, in one of the armies of the Emperor Napoleon. I was one of those who once thought the two parties, Federal Republican and Democratic, did not differ upon principles which were essential to the safety and honor of the Republic. This opinion I have retracted, under the sincerest conviction of its error! and now believe, in the sincerity of my heart, that the Administration is devoted to the interests and views of France. DELAWARIENSIS.
Wilmington, Newcastle County { (Del.) Sept. 17, 1808. } A correspondent of the Norfolk Ledger supposes that the embargo has cost us already 100 millions, and will cost us the same sum, if continued another year. He therefore proposes to give France twenty millions to take off her decrees, and the British retaliating orders will drop as a consequence. But to prevent any grumbling, he advises that the gift should be masked under pretence of purchasing from Joseph the KING OF AMERICA, one of his provinces!!! [North American.]
The National Intelligencer of the 21st says, "with France we have a commercial treaty. It was consequently unnecessary to enter into any discussions with her on that score. Our vexations from the impression of our seamens arose exclusively from England. France does not, and never has, asserted a right to impress OUR seamen."
Is our having a commercial treaty with France, a reason that we should have no discussion when that treaty is broken by her—although the breach of a treaty is generally considered just cause of war? The French decrees are known to be violations of the Treaty with us.
And why, Mr. SMITH, do you endeavour to have it believed, that Britain has asserted a right to impress OUR seamen? You know she claims no such right.
John Randolph and Mr. Stanfard (by the bye the latter is one of the republicans, about whose re-election in North Carolina the Madisonians crow so triumphantly) J. R. and Mr. S. at the last Session of Congress, very obstinately opposed the raising of the army of 6000 men, declaring that they considered it "a standing army." They could not discover that an army then was less unnecessary, less odious, in short, less a standing army, at a time when we were not only at peace, but when we had a delightful embargo, then just recommended and adopted, as a most infallible specific, preserving that peace, than it was in '98, when France had actually threatened to serve us as she had already done Genoa.—Randolph and Stanfard could not overcome their abhorrence of this "standing army," and voted against it. It is for their comfort,
as well as that of other republicans of the same cast, that we announce that the standing army aforesaid, is likely, if we can judge from the number of deserters advertised in this city, to turn out at last to be nothing but a running army.—EV. POST.
TRIBUTE.
A great deal has been said, and continues to be said, in the democratic papers, about an exaction of tribute by Great-Britain, in order to keep up the irritation against that nation in particular, although every one acquainted with the subject must know, that in one of the cases in which the British require duties, the vessel and cargo would in France, be confiscated. That is, a vessel from France may come direct from thence to England, take a clearance, and proceed to America, without being liable to capture by a British cruiser. Whereas, a vessel from England, that should go to France, would be seized and condemned on her arrival; and if she attempted to proceed direct from England to a port in the United States she would be liable to capture by a French cruiser. We are the vindicators of no foreign nation; but we cannot see under the above circumstances, why all our wrath should be directed against one, while the other escapes without censure on that score. Again, their demand of duty in the above case, cannot be repeated in many instances, because there are few vessels to come from places under NAPOLEON's control; and the number cannot be increased under the present order of things. If the British have a right to issue their Orders of Council, they have a right to modify them. All the arguments therefore should be directed against the orders, not to the non-sense of tribute, just to gull the people. If England, on the ground of retaliation of the Berlin decree, had a right to say all vessels bound to or from France, &c. should with their cargoes be condemned, he had certainly a right to say one 8th or one 4th of such vessels should be condemned. The other circumstances in which the duty law operates, is on neutral vessels bound to France, &c. and with regard to this also, most of the foregoing remarks will apply. No vessel from England is admitted into France, &c. therefore none can be liable to this tribute. When the French Decrees are rescinded, the British Orders in Council will be, and as the duty laws are founded on the Orders, they will fall of course. Although this is well known to persons acquainted with the subject, yet our administration play upon this string, as if commerce was, in its ordinary course, interrupted by a sudden requisition of England, that no American vessels should go to any part of the world, without first coming to England and paying tribute! All these arrangements, as well as that regarding licences, were seriously intended as ameliorations of the Orders in Council. But our people are deceived, because the democratic editors, try to serve their party purposes in their paragraphs, instead of giving correct information. [Pallas.]
A Dispatch vessel, arrived at New-York from Vera Cruz, states, that the government of Mexico had offered fourteen millions of dollars as a present to enable the Patriots of Spain to carry on the war against France.
THE TWO MILLIONS.
The Washington (city) junta, driven to their wits' ends by the proceedings of the American and Spanish patriots, are catching at every straw to keep the heads of Messrs. Jefferson and Bonaparte above water. The desperation of their hopes, is evidenced by their raking up, and scolding, with the rage of madmen, on the old business of the Two Millions appropriation, so long unaccounted for; and enlisting a squad of Treasury officers, to repeat a story which was told six months since in Congress. It will be remembered, that about the time when James Madison told John Randolph, that "France wanted money, and that France must have it," an act passed Congress, for appropriating Two Millions to defray an extraordinary expense attending the intercourse between the United States and foreign nations. This money was placed in the discretion of Mr. Jefferson. For a long time nothing was heard of it; and, of course, inquiries were made on the subject. Mr. Madison's declaration justified strong apprehensions it was gone to France—No report of its expenditure or non-expenditure having been made to the People, whose money it was, they had a right to express their suspicions on the subject, in any language they pleased. They so expressed them. At last it leaked out, that this money was intended to purchase the Floridas—a great part of which Mr. Jefferson declared, when he made his hard bargain of Louisiana, was included in that purchase. This not being effected—the Spaniards still holding the Floridas—the apprehensions of the people were repeated; and if the language in which they were expressed, was offensive to executive ears, Mr. Jefferson may thank those for it who refused to give the People information on the subject. A sort of information on it, has been recently given; and if authentic, we are happy, the voice of the People, heard in their recent elections, has operated so on the fears of the administration, as to compel them to reveal some of the "secrets of their prison house." Still the subject of the Two Millions is not divested of mystery. Mr. Duval, one of the officers of the Treasury—at the request of one Colon, an editor lately set up by Mr. Madison, to help him in his canvass, has certified, in substance, That the object for which the Two Millions were appropriated not having been effected, the money still remained in the Treasury; and that no part of it had been drawn therefrom. This is a plump assertion; and it may be all true:—But, in case Mr. Madison succeeds as President, this Mr. Duval is to be Secretary of the Treasury!!!— "Thereby hangs a tale." After this, however, Mr. Gallatin himself is brought on the stage; but appears to tell a sort of different story—He certifies, that Messrs. Armstrong and Bowdoin, were authorised to draw on Amsterdam for One Million of the above two, in case they could make another bargain for the purchase of the Floridas; and that funds were placed in the hands of Bankers in Amsterdam to answer their draught.—If thus placing these funds was not in consequence of the above law, by what legal authority could Mr. G. have placed them there? And if this appropriation of it, notwithstanding any original destination of the money thus placed,—be not tantamount to drawing it out of the Treasury, in the name of common sense, what is it? Can the citizens of the United States be satisfied with such an apparent quibble in the appropriation of their money? With the allowance of such quibbles, Thompson F. Skinner could have screened himself forever from detection. When their Money-Conservators are reduced to such publications; to effect electioneering purposes, it is high time for the Owners of the Money to look about them. Let Mr. Duval's assertion be kept in mind; and Mr. Gallatin's and Mr. Nourse's comment be compared with it; and then let the People say, whether, they do not, like the Witches in Macbeth,
"Pater vultis in a double sense; That keep the word of promise to our ear, And break it to our hope." If however, the money has not found its way into the coffers of Bonaparte, we are thankful—But we confidently believe, if it is the case, that it has been owing to the loud voice which the American people has raised against such a destination, which has saved it. Some thanks are due Mr. Randolph on this subject.—But more of this hereafter.—Centinel.
LIBERALITY OF OPINION.
FROM THE WASHINGTON MONITOR, Mr. Madison's Paper.
"Whatever INDULGENCES federalism may have experienced from the BOUNTY of James Madison, secretary of state, it has nothing to expect from James Madison, president of the United States. The base, dishonorable conduct of the opposition towards the administration, gives them no claim upon his LIBERALITY or COMPASSION!"
The President of the United States is the appointed Father and Guardian of his people. On him devolves the high and holy and responsible office of protecting the rights of all, of exercising over a free and sovereign people the wisdom of a statesman, the virtues of a man, and the tenderness of a parent. It is his duty, a duty which in the face of Heaven he swears to hold sacred, to rise above the prejudices and the feelings of party, and to bury in oblivion as President of the Union, the animosities and contentions on whose billows he has risen to power. JUSTICE and LIBERALITY he is bound to exercise as Chief Magistrate; Compassion, we should hope he would never forget, as a man. Even Mr. J. declared that equal and exact justice to all men, was part of his creed; that the minority possessed their equal rights; and although his prophecy "I shall often go wrong," is the only one which he has fulfilled; it was some little satisfaction to find that he knew his duty. Mr. Madison's paper boldly tells you, that one half of the Union have nothing to expect from him. A king of France indeed, disdained to revenge the injuries done to the Duke of Orleans; but James Madison has been opposed in some favorite measures as Secretary of State, and he declares to you that as president he will forget the obligations of his oath, and discard the feelings of a man. INDULGENCE, LIBERALITY, and COMPASSION, no federalism will receive—Nay more, not even JUSTICE, they have nothing to expect from him. We will not comment or attempt to rouse the feeling of indignation; for such declarations are an insult, which indignation is a cord to break for.
The ELECTION approaches; on its result, weigh well the awful truth, on its result, depends the Salvation of the United States. [Newburyport Herald.]

Federal Nominations for XIth Congress, In District of Maine.
 YORK, Hon. Joseph Leland.  CUMBERLAND, Ezekiel Whitman, Esq.  LINCOLN, Alden Bradford, Esq.  KENNEBEC, Thomas Rice, Esq. 
FOR THE GAZETTE.
MR. EDITOR,
WE are very much gratified to see EZEKIEL WHITMAN, Esq. nominated as our candidate for the Eleventh Congress, and some have proposed a general meeting in this part of the election district, in order to express our approbation and approval of the nomination; but knowing that Mr. WHITMAN will have all the Federal votes in the country, and presuming he will be unanimously supported in town, have not a doubt he will be elected by a large majority, and therefore have avoided all appearances of a caucus which we very much dislike.
PARIS.
To the Electors of York District.
DURING the sitting of the Court in Alfred , a very large number of Federal Republicans from every part of the county, met at Doct. HALL's, and unanimously agreed to support the
Hon. Joseph Leland,
For a Member of Congress for York District. The gentlemen who composed the meeting, claimed no appointment from Boston or Washington; imposed no obligation of secrecy; no injunctions of obedience on the minority, to comply with or support the vote of the majority; and had no other credentials, than the right of American Citizens. They voluntarily associated, gave an uninfluenced vote, and were unanimous. If their fellow-citizens think as they do, a zealous co-operation and support is expected:—And it is understood that but one sentiment prevails on this subject throughout the District. The people are alarmed—they have been deceived—they feel the hand of poverty pressing hard upon them, and view with indignation the arts that are practising, to place in power the men who are the cause of their sufferings. They look to Mr. LELAND as their friend—the man who endures his proportion of the common calamities, and who has a more honorable testimony of the people's affections, than votes extorted by debts and mortgages, or the secret exertions of county committees, appointed at Washington. Mr. LELAND will receive the cheerful and voluntary tribute of affection and confidence from the FREE citizens of York District.
FELLOW-CITIZENS—View on the one hand, the revolutionary patriot, the friend of the farmer, merchant and mechanic, resident among you, acquainted with your distresses and anxious to relieve them:—On the other, the monopolizer of office and property, a stranger to your wants, wedded in affection to the slave-holders of Virginia, and DETERMINE FOR YOURSELVES.
A FARMER.
To the Electors of York District.
FELLOW-CITIZENS,
WHILE you are suffering by the wickedness or folly of your rulers, an address on the subject of the election would seem unnecessary. When to an impartial observer, all the evils you now endure may be justly imputed to the present administration and their adherents, it seems incredible that the people must be persuaded to relieve themselves from oppression. Enmity to commerce and an unprincipled attachment to France could be easily discerned without the aid of a perpetual embargo, extending to your land intercourse and coasting trade. But the means resorted to, to justify these measures are, if possible, more insulting to your understanding and dangerous to your liberties than their conduct itself is distressing and oppressive. A plot is in operation to extort your approbation and to make you the willing victims of distress and slavery. Clubs and caucuses are appointed and organized by men in power to impose on you a belief that these measures are for your good; and you are invited to unite with these hirelings and pensioners to approve and justify the authors of your misfortunes.
You were told of a county committee, appointed at Boston, who were to meet to enforce the election of Mr. Cutts. Notwithstanding this was treated as a federal fabrication this committee did meet, and out of seventeen, ten were for Mr. Cutts; seven had the audacity to dissent. Yea you are urged to unanimity, because certain office-holders in Boston have found ten men in this district, sufficiently docile, slavish and unprincipled to submit to the scoundalous drudgery of lying Mr. Cutts into office. Do these servile wretches consider what a pitiful compensation Mr. Cutts' patronage will be for the loss of their elective rights! Have they no serious fears that the system they are carrying into effect, will ere long prostrate the temple of liberty and bury them under its ruins? Do they expect that Mr. Cutts can screen them from public indignation? Fellow citizens, view these men as
you ought, the enemies of your liberties, the slaves of power and the hirelings of despotism.
Though their first vote of secrecy was perfectly conformable to modern practice, it was by no means the best evidence of integrity. Guilt sluns the light, and shame is its companion. But the firm, candid, generous and free election of New-England has no political secrets, no privileges, which he does not enjoy in common with his fellow citizens.
What relief, let me ask, do you expect from present distress by the election of Mr. Cutts? This man is a stranger to your wants, a friend to the embargo. Do his talents entitle him to your confidence; Name but a single specimen since his induction into office, and I consent you take it for your text from whence to preach all the electioneering trash that mercenary flatterers have ever squandered in his praise. But talents seem to be out of the question. It has pleased God to visit the Democrats of Massachusetts with a sort of insanity which induces a dread of talents.
During a six month's session they have remained in a state of stupefaction, watching the loop holes of an embargo law, without examining its principles, or considering its effects. With the indifference of a Virginian, your representative has suffered your commerce to be annihilated, the stimulus to industry destroyed, and the channels of public and private wealth entirely cut off. Years and perhaps centuries will not efface the ravages of this destructive measure. It is EVEN DOUBTFUL if America EVER re-establishes her COMMERCIAL CONNECTIONS with the NATIONS OF EUROPE and their COLO- NIES on so good a footing AS BEFORE the embargo.
Here are the evils which we feel, and the consequences of which, we readily foresee. But these are not all. Troops are enlisting among us to enforce obedience to the embargo laws. For what other possible purpose is this army to be raised? Do Mr. Cutts and his friends in Virginia expect that an army of 6000 men, under a General of such experience, patriotism and purity will save the world into submission?
Where are the boasted benefits of this "dignified retirement?" Has it compelled England to do us justice? Has it starved any foreign nation into submission? If protection were the object, why is the embargo extended to our land intercourse and coasting trade? If war were to be averted, why are we not in a state of preparation, lest this measure should fail of its effect? If our government really apprehended hostilities, where are our armies, fortifications and navy? We shut ourselves up for fear of a drubbing, and this is "dignified retirement!"
Fellow-citizens—let us avoid that "dignity" which promises nothing but contempt and misery. Let us throw aside those short sighted and unprincipled men, who lure us by promises and pay us in disappointment. We have changed till no change can happen for the worse. If we are not to be persuaded by argument, let us at least be instructed by experience. The word "Republican" has no charm coming from men who would take from us FREEDOM OF ELECTION, THE LAST BADGE OF OUR LIBERTIES! We have trusted too long to the charm of names, and the faith of promises. Let us select a man, whose patriotism, talents and integrity shine in action rather than profession; who solicits no votes by running, caucusing or personal address; compels none by the despotism of wealth and family. That man is the
Hon. Joseph Leland.
We have been deceived, our dearest rights have been entrusted to men in whom there is no confidence. Our state treasury has been plundered, our national treasury exhausted by speculations and the embargo, and nothing can replenish them but insupportable burdens upon the people. Distress is at our doors, and the gloomy mansions of a prison await us. Let us awake and make one manly effort for relief, before our elective rights are wholly engrossed by county committees. Let us unite like New Hampshire, Rhode-Island and Vermont, and show our contempt for the measures by abandoning the men.
SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.
Portland,
Monday, October 3, 1808.
FROM EUROPE.
OUR latest London dates are to August 6th. They furnish further particulars of Spanish success. Near Barcelona, the French were defeated and forced to retire to the forts. The Caledonian patriots immediately determined upon storming the forts; their loss was considerable, between six and seven thousand men were killed, but they succeeded in making themselves masters of the principal one and put the whole garrison to the sword.
The French Gen. Moncey commenced his attack on Valencia with 18,000 men. In a series of actions which were fought betwixt the 26th and 29th of July, near that place, the Patriots were completely victorious; accounts state that of Gen. Moncey's army of 18,000, only 1,000 were able to make their escape. It is further stated that the French have lost in Arragon, Catalonia and Valencia 40,000 men.
Bonaparte's new king of Spain is said to have arrived at Madrid, July the 20th; that the people observed a sullen silence on the occasion. It is reported on the authority of private letters, that violent tumults had taken place; that the French troops in that city had been attacked and great numbers killed, and the remainder put to rout. A few days will probably test the correctness of these reports.
The war in the north of Europe, between the Russians and Swedes, excites but little attention, and is carried on with as little vigor.—The prospect of a
rupture between France and Austria increases. Bonaparte's minister at Vienna has protested against the late organization of the Austrian army.
The Argus repeats the electioneering story of the existence of "strong grounds of a probability" that our difficulties will be speedily settled with the belligerent nations. The next democratic paper will probably tell us "there is strong grounds of a probability" for believing that this has been effected by the embargo—the lie will then be complete.
The conscientious editor of the Argus has, in his last paper, with most wonderful satisfaction to himself, produced a paragraph, in which he thinks he has abundantly proved his regard to truth and impartiality, in what he calls a publication of the rejected treaty. It is of little personal consequence to us, what is, or is not, published in the Argus; but it is of some importance to the citizens of this District, to know the whole truth, particularly as relates to our foreign relations. The situation of affairs between this country and England, has frequently been the subject of public discussion; and it has been the constant and zealous endeavor of the hirelings of the present administration, to instil a belief into the public mind, that Great Britain was opposed to an amicable adjustment, and wished for war with this country. Hence we see, that the conscientious editor, with all his pretended sanctity and regard to correctness, seizes on every article which will have a tendency to influence the passions and produce a disposition in the citizens of the country in favor of a war with England. What can be the object with the leading democrats, in pursuing such a preposterous system of conduct, is not to be accounted for upon any good or reasonable ground.
We have no idea that the citizens, generally, who rank under the democratic banners, will sanction this course of conduct in the leaders of their party. But these men, in order to induce the people to join with them in their wicked and ruinous schemes, set up a democratic paper, and thus render the press completely subservient to their unprincipled and ambitious views. On this account we so frequently witness gross prostitutions of one of the first privileges a free people can possess. Few papers in the state have been more abundantly furnished with matter for this work of iniquity than the Argus. Whatever will serve the cause of democracy, or rather his employers, is his creed.
The Editor of the Argus, says that on the 8th of October he published the "substance" of the rejected treaty, and insinuates that the Gazette and not the Argus attempts to deceive the people. In this, the conduct of the editor is like that of the thief, who, on having stolen a piece of goods from a shop window, was the first to cry out "stop thief"
The Argus published a few partial and incorrect remarks on the treaty, with a summary of the articles; but let any impartial and candid man compare the publication in the Argus with the treaty entire, and he will at once see that the publication was calculated to deceive and impose on the public.
It is a subject which provokes our laughter, to see what pitiful means the jacobins resort to, in support of their sinking cause. It is mentioned in the last Argus, (mordacious "DAMSEL"), that the notes which accompanied the rejected treaty, "were intended by the British government completely to destroy it, unless the French repealed their decrees [and the idea of this, the Argus-man cannot endure, for he loves them like "Toad-apple-pie,"] or our government declared war against the French." This, it seems, is worse for them still.
Now if the treaty and notes are so prejudicial to our interests as the Argus insinuates them to be, why not publish them entire, that they may speak for themselves, in stead of giving a garbled copy? Because, we repeat, it would give the "lie" to all their declarations.
PORTLAND ACADEMY.
The new brick Academy in this town was dedicated, and the school opened there, on Thursday last. The students marched in procession from the old academy, and after a pertinent prayer by the Rev. Mr. PAYSON, an excellent, well adapted oration was delivered by Mr. DAVIS, the Preceptor, & the ceremonies closed with prayer, by the Rev. Mr. COOMAN. A committee of the Trustees have waited on the Preceptor with a vote of thanks from the Corporation, requesting a copy of the oration for the press, which we hope to have the pleasure of presenting to the public in a few days.
F. Friend
A Court of Common Pleas, was held last week at Paris, (Oxford county). We are informed, little or no business was transacted there, for want of a jury; in consequence of the late singular law, regulating jurors. This is the fifth county, we understand, which has met with the same fate, within this Commonwealth; since the alteration of the old law, every effort to render the new act practicable notwithstanding.—So much for democratic law makers.
NEW MODE OF CHEATING.
A rock weighing seventy five pounds was found in a bale of cotton which weighed 268 lbs. The cotton was imported from a Southern port to this place, and was taken out of the middle of the bale in presence of several gentlemen, who all attest to the fact. We hope our southern brethren will not in future be quite so free in their slurs about "yankee tricks."
The immaculate and patriotic Treasurer, Gallatin, has at last condescended to inform the people as to the two millions of money, which he now says was intended as purchase money for the Floridas, or in other words to be wasted in another Louisiana hoax. This is democratic policy, keep buying wildernesses & raising standing armies to guard them against the invasions of Indians, &c. at the same time amuse the people with lullaby stories and waste their money in building useless gun-boats, whilst our commerce is annihilated, our merchants ruined, our seamen and mechanics deprived of employment, and our farmers compelled to see their produce perish on their hands, or to sell it for one half its former price. Such is the blessed, glorious effects of the triumph of democracy.
MILITARY REVIEW.
On Monday last, the Portland Battalion, joined by the company of Sea Fencibles, was paraded under the command of Maj. ISAAC GAGE, and on Tuesday the Falmouth Battalion under Maj. HOBS, and were reviewed and inspected by Col. MERRILL, and the Field Officers of the Regiment. We learn much improvement has been made in their discipline and equipment.
An address to the Electors of Lincoln District, omitted for want of room.
DIED,
In this town, on Wednesday last, Mrs. Hannah Gordon, aged 46, wife of Mr. Nathaniel Gordon, after a painful sickness of about nine months, which she bore with great resignation to the will of God.
Before her sickness, it was her unspeakable happiness to be a believer of the doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through the mercy of God, she was begotten again to a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
During the time of her illness, her mind seemed to be remarkably comforted by the consolations of the gospel, and as her life drew near a close, her views of the love of God appeared greatly to increase, and her mind to be established in the faith. Thro' her various trials, she was sometimes in heaviness; yet before her death, she enjoyed the uninterrupted light of God's countenance. Death no longer appeared to her the king of terrors. In the prospect of putting off this tabernacle, she desired, if it was the will of God, to depart and be with Christ, which was far better. So true is that promise, "As thy day is, so shall thy strength be."
In the state of her mind, during her last moments, the truth of that scripture was very apparent, "The righteous has hope in his death."—She is gone, and those who knew her best, doubt not but that her departing spirit was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. On this account, the friends of Jesus may moderate their grief, and not sorrow as those who have no hope. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord; yea, saith the spirit, they shall rest from their labors, and their works shall follow them."

The undersigned, Henry Richard Vassal Lord Holland, and William Lord Auckland, Plenipotentiaries of his Britannic Majesty, have the honor to inform James Monroe and William Pinkney, commissioners extraordinary & plenipotentiaries of the United States of America, that they are now ready to proceed to the signature of the treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, on the articles of which they have mutually agreed.
But at the same time they have it in command from his majesty, to call the attention of the commissioners of the United States to some extraordinary proceedings which have taken place on the continent of Europe, and to communicate to them, officially, the sentiments of his majesty's government thereupon.
The proceedings alluded to are certain declarations and orders of the French government, issued at Berlin, on the 21st of November last.
In those orders, the French government seeks to justify or palliate its own unjust pretensions, by imputing to Great Britain, principles which she never professed, and practices which never existed. His majesty is accused of a systematical and general disregard of the law of nations, recognized by civilized states, and more particularly of an unwarrantable extension of the right of blockade; whereas his majesty may confidently appeal to the world, on his uniform respect for neutral rights, and his general and scrupulous adherence to the law of nations, without condescending to contrast his conduct in these particulars with that of his enemy; and with regard to the only specific charge, it is notorious that he has never declared any ports to be in a state of blockade, without allowing to that object, a force sufficient to make the entrance into them manifestly dangerous.
By such allegations, unfounded as they are, the enemy attempts to justify his pretensions of confiscating as lawful prize, all produce of English industry or manufacture, though it be the property of neutrals; or excluding from his harbors every neutral vessel which has touched at any port of his majesty's dominions, though employed in an innocent commerce; and of declaring Great Britain to be in a state of blockade, though his own naval ports and arsenals are actually blockaded, and he is unable to station any naval force whatever, before any port of the United Kingdom.
Such principles are within themselves extravagant & repugnant to the law of nations; and the pretensions founded on them, though professedly directed solely against Great Britain, tend to alter the practice of war among civilized nations, and utterly to subvert the rights and independence of neutral powers.
The undersigned cannot therefore believe that the enemy will ever seriously attempt to enforce such a system. If he should, they are confident that the good sense of the American government will perceive the fatal consequences of such pretensions to neutral commerce, and that its spirit and regard to national honor will prevent its acquiescence in such palpable violations of its rights, and injurious encroachments on its interest.
If however the enemy should carry these threats into execution, and if neutral nations, contrary to all expectation, should acquiesce in such usurpations, his majesty might probably be compelled, however reluctantly, to retaliate in his just defence, and to adopt in regard to the commerce of neutral nations with his enemies, the same measures which those shall have permitted to be enforced against their commerce with his subjects. The commissioners of the United States will therefore feel that at a moment when his majesty and all neutral nations are threatened with such an extension of the belligerent pretensions of his enemies, he cannot enter into the stipulations of the present treaty, without an explanation from the United States of their intentions, or a reservation on the part of his majesty in the case abovenoted if it should ever occur.
The undersigned considering that the distance of the American government renders any immediate explanation on this subject impossible, and animated by a desire of forwarding the beneficial work in which they are engaged, are authorized by his majesty to conclude the treaty without delay. They proceed to the signature under the full persuasion that before the treaty shall be returned from America, with the ratification of the U. States, the enemy will either have formally abandoned, or tacitly relinquished his unjust pretensions, or that the government of the U. States, by its conduct or assurances, will have given security to his majesty that it will not submit to such innovations in the established system of maritime law: And the undersigned have presented this note from an anxious wish that it should be clearly understood on both sides, that without such an abandonment on the part of the enemy, or such assurances or such conduct on the part of the U. States, his majesty will not consider himself bound by the present signature of his commissioners to ratify the treaty, or precluded from adopting such measures as may seem necessary for counteracting the designs of the enemy.
The undersigned cannot conclude without expressing their satisfaction at the prospect of a completing an object so important to the interests and friendly connexion of both nations, and their just sense of the conciliatory disposition manifested by the commissioners of the U. States during the whole course of the negotiation.
(Signed) VASSIL HOLLAND, AUCKLAND.

Another queer creature —We are informed that in the northern parts of Vermont some body (probably the most worthless part of society) has made a figure resembling in shape a bee hive, and inscribed the word EMBARGO upon it in large letters. At one side stands John Randolph, with one end of a tail thrust under the said image and the other end upon his shoulder, while he is drawing with all his might to lift off this "Embargo." At this instant Mr. Jefferson, dressed in his famous red plush breeches, is seen jumping, with all his weight, astride of the "Embargo," to—catch on!—at least, such was the opinion of the simple persons who first discovered this group. But, although the keeping out of being raised is undoubtedly an object of Mr. Jefferson's vaulting to furiously into the saddle on the back of so dull a nag; yet it should be considered, that since the Salt Mountain was so impolitic as to run away before we got possession of Louisiana, since no living mammouth can be found or caught, since the magpie died, and since his ram ("feeling power and forgetting right,") killed a little boy, and of course is unmanageable—since such has been his luck in natural philosophy, Mr. J. has made the Embargo his Liberty, and seems determined very unnaturally, to ride it as long as the hoof will carry.—Troy Gazette.
HONOR AMONG THIEVES. A few evenings ago, as a lady was crossing the five Fields, Chelsea, she was overtaken by two men, who appeared to have some design upon her. They sometimes walked before and sometimes behind her, and from their manner and appearance, the lady could not avoid feeling the most alarming apprehensions. As the lady was expecting to have her money demanded, she fortunately discovered a gentleman at a distance, when summoning all her resolution, she betook herself to flight, and almost breathless, implored the gentleman's protection, intimating to him, that she believed the two men she had escaped from were thieves, and intended to rob her. The gentleman desired her to dispel her fears, and undertook to escort her safely home. When the lady came near her own door, she returned the gentleman a thousand acknowledgements for the service he had rendered her, and among other things, asked the gentleman if it would be agreeable to him to walk in and take any refreshments. Madam, said the gentleman, I am much obliged to you for your kind offer, but cannot accept your polite invitation; and, to be candid with you, the reason is this: the two men you saw in the fields just now, and from whom I delivered you, are thieves, and my particular friends: they are now waiting for me, and cursing me heartily for making them stay. I can assure you we certainly intended to rob you—but when you had put yourself under my protection, I could not, madam, in honor suffer any thing to happen to you, but if you really wish to be grateful, pray do me the favor when we meet again, not to place yourself under my protection; saying this the gentleman vanished.

COUNTRY Merchants, Apothecaries, Physicians, and others, dealing in the foregoing articles, are respectfully solicited to call on RUGGLES & HUNT, who feel a confidence, tested by long experience, in asserting, that they have always given their numerous customers the most entire satisfaction, as it respects the quality of the various articles; and also, what some consider of consequence, the price. In these two particulars, they possess many advantages over their brethren:
First:—By carrying on a very considerable commerce in their own vessels, directly to countries where the bulk of their goods are obtained best and cheapest.
Secondly:—By having one of the Partners constantly residing in Europe, who procures every article from its original source; selecting only the most superior qualities; and who avails himself of every possible advantage which a cash capital commands, in making large and advantageous commercial speculations.
Thirdly:—By having Agents and Correspondents in many of the principal cities and towns in Europe and Asia, as well as America: Through the medium of Letters & Price Currents from these Agents, the rise or fall of articles in different places is communicated with facility; by which information, very frequent advantages are derived.
From the above considerations, they are authorized in asserting, that their stock in trade is sufficient for the actual consumption of all the New-England States, and can be disposed of with more mutual advantage, both to the purchaser and seller, than at any other Wholesale Drug Store in New-England.
Amongst all their present list of Wholesale Dealers, there is not an instance to be produced of three persons who have once purchased of them, that have not ever after become their constant customers; which respectable list, they doubt not will speedily be augmented.
