Political Miscellany.
FROM THE WEEKLY INSPECTOR.
This land of such dear souls, this dear, dear land; Dear for her reputation, through the world, is now less'd out; Like to a tament or peiting farm.
SHAKSPEARE.
WE have, in the preceding numbers expressed our apprehensions, from the nature of the contest in which France, or rather the Jacobin sect, that predominates in continental Europe, is engaged with the civilized world. We will now bring the question home to our business and bosoms.—Is America seriously threatened by that power and by those principles which have desolated the old world?
As the hopes of the promoters of the infernal projects of the conspirators who would make America a province of the Jacobin empire, must depend much upon secrecy, we do not think it will be possible to exhibit evidence such as would convict in a court of law; but we hope to awaken the apprehensions of our countrymen, and induce them to keep a watchful eye on those whose writings and conduct in society, render objects of suspicion.
It is a fact which we believe will not be disputed, that Mr. Jefferson while in Paris, was intimate with the conspirators against religion and social order. It was by way of alluding to this fact, that Gen. Hamilton expressed the celebrated sentiment, "May the United States never fall a sacrifice to the vices of a Cataline, nor the dreams of a Condorcet."
But as before observed, secrecy, being necessary in order to mature plans of this nature we must have recourse to circumstantial evidence. And first: Mr. Jefferson's moral and political opinions appear to have undergone a radical and thorough revolution since his embassy to Paris; and since that period
he has conformed in all things to the tenets of the JACOBIN SECT.
It has ever been a great object with the French conspirators to disarm the nations whom they proposed to attack. For this purpose, French emissaries have every where set up the cry of peace! peace! and the more imminent the danger, the louder their clamors.
The destruction of the American navy may be attributed to French influence in our councils. Mr. Jefferson gave the signal, the whole party obeyed it with eagerness and promptitude; and the National Intelligencer, Mr. Jefferson's paper, is daily pouring forth its anathema against a military marine. But what said Mr. Jefferson before his jaunt to France, relative to a navy?
"A small naval force is sufficient for us, and a small one is necessary. What this should be, I will not undertake to say. Suppose the million of dollars, or 300,000 pounds, which Virginia could annually spare without distress, to be applied to the creating a navy. A single year's contribution would build, equip, man, and send to sea, a force which should carry 300 guns. The rest of the confederacy exerting themselves in the same proportion, would equip in the same time, 1,500 guns more: so that one year's contributions would set up a navy of 1,800 guns. The British ships of the line average 56 guns; their frigates 38. 1,800 guns then, would form a fleet of 30 ships, 18 of which might be of the line, and 12 frigates. Allowing 8 men, the British average, for every gun, their annual expense, including subsistence, cloathing, pay, and ordinary repairs, would be about 1280 dollars for every gun, or 2,304,000 dollars for the whole. I state this only as one years possible exertion, without deciding whether more or less than a year's exertion should be thus applied."
Notes on Virginia. Query XXIII.
Again, in the same chapter:
"The actual habits of our countrymen attach them to commerce.—They will exercise it for themselves.—War, then, will sometimes be of use to us.—A land army would be useless for offence, and not the least nor safest instrument of defence. For either of these purposes the sea is the field on which we should meet an European enemy:—on that element it is necessary that we should possess some power."
These are the sentiments now maintained by every real American patriot, but have been deserted by Mr. Jefferson since his mission to France. Since his accession to power, Mr. Jefferson and his party, by gun-boat and drydock contrivances, have nearly effected the annihilation of the American navy, which had become respectable under the Federal administration. Now we are told to rely implicitly on the justice and friendship of other nations; and a military marine is deprecated as the greatest of all possible evils.
What can be the cause of this change in opinion? the same cause which has made France a great military nation, at the same time paralysed the military efforts of every other nation—The same cause that operated to leave all the Prussian fortresses in a defenceless situation, and paved the way for French successes in Europe, has operated in America since the Grand Conspiracy. Therefore we have no navy, and therefore the agents of France are employing every mean to render the country defenceless, that we may fall an easy prey to the jacobin power which has already overrun the fairest part of the civilized world.
A further evidence that Mr. Jefferson has altered his tenets in conformity to the principles of the Jacobin sect, may be found in his late avowed hostility to commerce. When he wrote his Notes on Virginia, his sentiments appeared to be those of a rational man on the subject. He went so far as to say that it were best that our work shops should remain in Europe, and our wants supplied by commerce. His subsequent hostility to commerce is a matter of public notoriety. But it is not so well known that it was a part of the plan of the grand conspirators, to annihilate commerce. We may, however, not only see it developed in the writings of the pretended philosophers, whose works contain the principles of the sect, but we find it at this day in the language and conduct of Bonaparte.
Thus in a late interview between Bonaparte and the deputies from Hamburg, we find the same ideas which were inculcated by the plotters in the anti-social conspiracy.
When these deputies represented to Bonaparte that thirty houses had failed in Hamburg in consequence of some violent measures he had taken to injure the commerce of Great-Britain, his reply was, "I wish it to come to this
pitch, that there should be no commerce at all! The land only shall till, and there shall only be exchange of linen against cattle, and of grain against cloth. —The fourth century must be revived, before the world can be reduced to its former state."
It is not possible, without writing volumes, to state a tenth part of the proofs existing, that the heads of those men who now preside in our affairs, have been turned by the plausible, but hollow doctrines, of the French revolutionary school. It is visible in every step of their progress, & in the writings of those who have written, as well as in their conduct. But it cannot be of service to multiply evidences, if we are predetermined to be deaf and blind to all that can be offered. The simple fact of the Jacobins possessing two sets of principles one for France and the other set for the rest of the world—making France a great military nation but preach in peace! peace! to every other nation, might convince us that we have an "armed doctrine" to contend with, in opposing those who have already made Europe an acedema.
One of the principal aims of the Jacobin sect, has been to introduce "a dreadful lessening of the dignity & splendour of all greatness, and a subversion of all good order and civil government!" than which nothing can be expected more formidable.
But dreadful indeed, must be A TIME, (if such a one is to come) WHEN men are let loose upon each other, possessed of all their present improvements and advantages, but unrestrained either by law or civil government, or by conscience and good principle, scorning the admonition and authority of those who ought to maintain justice, and assisted by the more rude and barbarous parts of the world, whom they shall find too ready to increase the UNIVERSAL UP-ROAR."
We see this exemplified in Mr. Jefferson's conduct since his return from France. He has taken Calender by the hand; he was willing to take any person by the hand who would introduce this dreadful lessening of the dignity and splendour of all greatness."
Although my voice is "a still small voice," I hope that it may be heard. I hope that Americans may be induced to awake from that lethargy which seems to have steeped their faculties in dews more soporiferous than those fabled of Lethe.
But if they are
Animæ quibus altera fato— Corpora debentur, Letæ ad fluminis undam Securos faties, et longa oblia potant. †, we must wait till they have passed the revolutionary Rubicon,—till one half are destroyed in order to enlighten the remaining half.
* "Pursuits of Literature."
† Souls to whom the fates destine other bodies, and who have drunk deep of the waters of oblivion.
Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, MARCH 17.
Some letters from Stettin were received on Saturday, by a vessel which sailed from thence at the latter end of February. No accounts of any action subsequent to the battle of Eylau, except the affair at Ostrolenka on the 16th, had been received there. The result of this was reported to be quite different from what the enemy represented. The division of Lasnes, which was stationed on the Narew, for the purpose of preventing the junction between the main army and Gen. Von Essen's corps, made an attack upon the latter, which was received with such firmness as compelled the French to fall back precipitately and leave the Russians to pursue their march unmolested. The knowledge that this reinforcement, was on its way, is supposed to have determined Bonaparte to bring on a general engagement, in which if he had been successful, the junction would have been impracticable. The information upon which he acted, does not appear to have been accurate. No exertions of Gen. Von Essen's corps could have enabled it to join the main army for several days after the 8th.—In stationing, therefore a division of his army on the Narew, Bonaparte absolutely deprived himself of the preponderance which its junction might have ensured. Savary, with the force under his command, might have decided the
battle of Eylau, instead of which he appears to have been posted at Ostrolenka, ever since the commencement of the month, to prevent a junction which could not possibly take place, were even the route unobstructed until its conclusion. Gen. Von Essen is said to have since joined the main army, and we expect the next accounts from the Continent will inform us that the Russians have resumed offensive operations. It is not unlikely that we shall soon hear of another general engagement.
It is obvious that Bonaparte has smarted under the effects of a projected war; in order therefore to put an end to a system that consumed his provisions, and afforded the Russians so many advantages, he resolved, no doubt to make one desperate effort to measure his arms at once with the allied army.—Every preparation appears to have been made by the enemy, to carry this resolution into effect on the 8th of February. On that day Bonaparte commanded in person—yet what was the result even if the French accounts should be credited to their fullest extent? We shall give it in the words of the 58th Bulletin:—"The play of the enemy (the Russians) which had for its object to extend themselves towards Thorn, and to turn our left wing, has completely miscarried. Having defeated this enterprize of the enemy, and driven them 100 miles from the Vistula, the army has returned to its cantonments, and is going into winter quarters again."—Is this the grand winding up of a series of engagements, in which the French are represented as having performed prodigies of valour, led on by the Grand Duke, Davoust, Ney, Soult, Angeau, Lannes, &c. and all the experienced Commanders that could be collected? It should seem from the words "returned to cantonments," that the French have retrograded to the Bug and the Narew; if so, it amounts to a proof, that the affair of the 8th, terminated in what is called a drawn battle, for if it had been as decisive as it is stated in the Bulletin, the enemy would have pressed forward to Koningsburg, the possession of which was one of their favorite objects, and of which they seemed to have been so certain, that the Prince of Neuchatel, on the 6th of February, wrote a letter from Great Glandau, to the Empress Josephine, in which he says—"We shall be at Koningsburg to-morrow."
The French soldiers, in all likelihood, begin to find, that they were dragged from home, merely to waste their blood for the gratification of an ambitious tyrant, or at best in conflicts that will ultimately thin their numbers and lead to no thing decisive in the end. Bonaparte seems to be of this opinion himself, for after a pompous enumeration of prisoners, standards, cannon, &c. taken as he pretends, on the 8th, he cries out—"These trophies have been too dearly purchased however, by the blood of so many brave warriors." The exclamation will make a deep impression on every French soldier in Poland, as well as on the Conscripti who are marching to the grave of thousands of their countrymen.
An order of Council has been issued, and will appear in the Gazette, this evening, allowing his Majesty's subjects to trade to and from the Island of Curacoa, subject to the duties, rates, and regulations, the same as those imposed on the West-India Island.
SMALL ARTICLES.
EXCLAMATION OF A FRENCHMAN IN POLAND.
Intrench'd in earth, full five feet deep, These Russians will not let us sleep. They knock us up to knock us down, And smile at Bonaparte's frown; But Bonaparte's even with these Russians— Those Cossacks drear, and e'en the Prussians; Though Victors in each bloody scene, He'll kill them in a Bulletin.
The French Conscripti are to be driven to Poland, there to be led to their graves.
The French Papers say, that the Russian soldiers are more machines; they ought to have added thrashing machines.
Those that look for French victories will find them in their Bulletins; those that look for Russian victories, will find them in the field of battle.
The French in the language of honest Paddy Blake, are obliged to advance backwards.

To the People of Germany, by the Commander in Chief of the Imperial Russian army.
By a long series of the most unfortunate events, your country has become a prey to the most cruel and insolent of foes. The manifold sufferings to which you have been subjected are known to the Emperor, my most gracious Sovereign...
Inhabitants of Germany! The whole Russian army fights for your interests! Under circumstances so favorable, shall you alone remain inactive?
Shall you alone be blinded, as in the present state of things to do nothing for yourselves?
The enemy is at a great distance from his frontiers, in territories, and at a season of the year, which not only do not afford him sufficient means of supply, but also impede all his operations...
Take courage, then, brave and virtuous Germans! Reflect on the immortal renown of your ancestors, who in former ages, maintained their independence with the most signal bravery.
In your efforts to attain so glorious an object, you may rely with the fullest confidence on the powerful and continued assistance of the Emperor, my most gracious Sovereign.
Given at the Imperial Russian Head-Quarters. Baron VON BENNIGSEN, General of Cavalry, Military Governor of Lithuania, &c.

Latest European Intelligence.
London dates to March the 23d have been received at Boston. The principal article of intelligence is the account of the late change which has taken place in the British Cabinet.
The last arrivals do not furnish any later accounts of the operations of the Russian & French armies in Poland. That tide of success which has attended Bonaparte in all his campaigns on the Continent, has received a severe check in the actions with the Russians, who, now appear to profit by past errors.
It is said the Russians have had some smart actions with the Turks, and are marching towards Constantinople. It seems probable that Dalmatia will be the scene of important operations.
The Porte presents a busy and important aspect. A Russian army, of more than 90,000 strong, is hovering on the banks of the Niester.
It is reported that 12,000 French conscripts, who were on their way lately from Paris to Mentz overpowered their guard and disbanded themselves.
[This, if true, which, however, we doubt, shows a critical state of things.] According to the public papers, the Austrian Army is more numerous at present, by 40,000 men, than at any period during the last war.
The public opinion in favor peace had become strong in Berlin; but we cannot learn from what cause.

NOTE. 1. To prevent delay, it will be requisite, for those who may have accounts to settle at any Probate court, not held at Portland, to obtain previously, from the Register's Office, a certificate (it is the first account) of the amount of the deceased's personal estate—or, if it be a second account, a copy of the first, and if a third or fourth, &c. a copy of the preceding accounts. 2. They will also see that those who may be interested, have due notice. 3. They shall have their accounts previously made out in a proper form, and be careful to bring their vouchers. 4. If they should have occasion to settle an account, in order to apply to a proper Court for licence to sell real estate, it may be convenient to procure, from the Register's Office, a copy of the appraisement thereof; and, also, a certificate of the amount of the claims, where an estate has been represented as insolvent. 5. If a will is to be presented for probate, previous notice should be given to all whom it may concern. 6. Executors, and Administrators, will, it is presumed, know, that when a will is proved, or Letters of Administration granted they should have sufficient Bondsmen ready. These Rules (except the obtaining of certificates and copies) ought also, to be observed, when business, of the above description, is to be done at the Probate Courts, held in Portland.

Advice to Young Ladies.
DETEST disguise; remember 'tis your part By gentle fondness to retain the heart. Let Duty, Prudence, Virtue, take the lead, To fix your choice; but from it ne'er recede. Abhor Coquetry; spurn the shallow fool Who measures out dull compliments by rule And, without meaning, like a chattering jay. Repeats the same dull strain throughout the day; Are men of sense attracted by your face, Your well turn'd figure, or their compound grace? Be mild and equal, moderate, gay; Your judgment rather than your wit display. By aiming at good breeding strive to please, 'Tis nothing more than regulated ease. Does one dear youth an engaging worthy train, The best affections of your heart obtain? And is he reckon'd worthy of your choice? Is your opinion with the general voice? Confess it then; nor from him seek to hide What's known to every person else beside. Attach him to you: in a generous mind, A lively gratitude expect to find. Receive his vows; and by a kind return, Affection's blaze will o'er the brighter burn. Disdain duplicity—from pride be free; What every woman should, you then will be.

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."
TO enforce a proper observance of the Sabbath, many essays have been written and much pains taken by those who have had the good of society, and the interest of religion at heart. But it is certain that much remains to be done.
Many people in this degenerate age of the world, make a constant practice of seeking their pleasures on that holy day, and indulge themselves in irregularity and excess more, if possible, on that day, than on any other.
Let us look into our populous towns and see how the Sabbath is kept by many in the higher ranks of society. The morning until ten o'clock, is wasted in sleep; and what remains of the forenoon is consumed in breakfasting and dressing. Two hours of the afternoon perhaps are spent in the house of public worship; but so far from "commanding their spirits into a serious frame," or giving their attention to the precepts which may there be taught, their minds are employed in contemplating the splendid appearance they make, or, if vanity is not at that time predominant, their time is taken up in a stupid daze. After this, a water party, or a ride to some fashionable resort, closes the solemnities of the day. And I have observed, that in our seaport towns more especially, those young men who are ambitious to be thought "high bucks" and "bloods of the first rate," may generally be found on the Sabbath at the Tavern, or B—.
These are evils in the midst of us. These abuses of the Sabbath must be rectified, or woeful experience will teach us that when our morals are vitiated our political happiness is immediately affected.
The awful consequences of polluting and profaning that day "hallowed by Heaven, and set apart by God himself for his peculiar worship," cannot be too much dreaded. The same Being who proclaimed to the people of old "Verily my Sabbath ye shall keep," is now noticing our profligacy. And shall we think to elude his vigilance? Shall neither the thunders of Mount Sinai deter us from sin, nor the benevolent invitations of the Gospel of peace draw us from the beaten way of iniquity?
We should all do well to think seriously on these things, and to use our utmost endeavors to effect a thorough reformation.
