The agent is accordingly instructed to cease paying them after that date, but after the 1st of November next, they will be again payable at the City of Washington, to those who have right, or to their attorney's duly authorized.

FOREIGN RELATIONS. PARIS, April 3. Circular Letter addressed to all the Members of the diplomatic body.
SIR, Paris, March 23. The First Consul has ordered me to transmit to your Excellency a copy of the report presented to him by the Grand Judge, on an intended conspiracy formed in France by Mr. Drake the envoy of his Britannic Majesty at the court of Munich, and which, by its object and date was connected with the infamous plot on which the tribunals are now sitting in judgment.
A printed copy of the letters and authentic papers of Mr. Drake is annexed to the report. The originals will be immediately sent by order of the First Consul to his serene highness the Elector of Bavaria.
Such a prostitution of the most honorable function that can be conferred on men, is without precedent in the history of civilized nations. It will astonish and grieve Europe like the scandal of the unheard crime, which the worthless governments have never dared to meditate. The First Consul is well acquainted with the sentiments and qualities, which distinguish the diplomatic body accredited to him, not to be convinced that he will see with profound sorrow, the profanation of the sacred character of ambassador converted into a minister of plots, villainy and corruption. Accept, &c. (Signed) TALLEYRAND, Minister of Foreign Relations.
[The following answer to the above was addressed to Mr. Talleyrand by Mr. Livingston, Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States.]
SIR, PARIS, March 26. I have received the note which you did me the honor to address to me, with a copy of the report of the Grand Judge, relative to papers which prove that Mr. Drake, the British minister at Munich has held a culpable correspondence with traitors, for objects which all civilized nations must regard with horror—and that horror must be redoubled, when we see that it is a minister that thus prostitutes his sacred character. When a subaltern agent commits a base or atrocious act, it may be supposed that he is influenced by personal interest, but the actions of a minister are generally attributed to the government he represents; and even when he acts against his orders (which I hope in the case in this instance) his conduct is so much identified with his government, that such acts tend to overturn social order, and to bring back nations to barbarism. I beg your excellency to offer to the First Consul, in the name of my government, the most sincere felicitations for having escaped the attempts of his enemies, directed not only against his life, but against an object more dear to his heart, the happiness of the nation of which he is the chief—a happiness
which is the result of his noble labors in the field of honor, and in the cabinet, and which is not yet sufficiently established, not to be deeply shaken by his loss. (Signed) R. R. LIVINGSTON.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 28. The gallant conduct of our seamen in the Mediterranean, we had hoped would have produced one common feeling throughout the land. On such an occasion we expected that from those who wanted patriotism, pride would have extorted approbation. But because our tars have dared to manifest under the administration of Mr. Jefferson a bravery and enterprise, certainly unsurpassed, and it might perhaps be correctly added unrivalled in naval annals, the measure of applause is either denied by federalists, or is dealt out with a niggardly hand. Every thing is to be condemned, done by or under the republican administration: Whether it be the the secure possession of the navigation of the Mississippi, so inestimably important to the peace, of the whole nation, and to the prosperity of our western brethren, or the assertion of the national character from the aggressions of the pirates of the Mediterranean. For abandoning the line of conduct pursued by the last administration they are denounced, and when a similar course is pursued, all merit, even that of pure motives, is denied them.
It is happy for the peace and happiness of this nation, that those entrusted with its public concerns, are not to be shaken from the strong ground they have taken by the indiscriminate and vehement censure of their opponents. Too often we have had the misfortune to witness the best men driven from the straight line of duty into rash and unadvised measures of retaliation—too often men of warm tempers, conscious of the purity of their motives, and supported by the affections of a nation, have suffered feelings of resentment against their revilers and opponents, to mingle themselves with the discharge of their public duty; and thus by abandoning the ground originally taken under the guidance of a dispassionate judgment, they have exposed themselves to all the dangers involved in a departure from principle.
It must be a source of peculiar felicitation to every friend of republican institutions, to perceive in the measures of our government a steady development of principle, uninfluenced by personal considerations. For however the trifling concerns of a small district may be managed without material mischief, under the control of other motives, we do not hesitate to say that the great affairs of a nation can never be conducted with glory to the government, or utility to the people, without a strict and unintermittent regard of principle.
These remarks apply forcibly on the subject of a navy. The men now in power never were friendly to naval establishments on a great scale; they always declared them an engine of State, fraught with great danger; one which while it might in its moderate use, be beneficial, could not fail, in its rapid extension, to hazard the peace and liberties of the country.
These were their professions; and with these professions, their conduct has strictly coincided. They have maintained a navy within prudent limits; and by introducing various economical reforms, have rendered it less an object of popular jealousy.
Out of power they declared that, while adverse to a resort to force on light occasions, they would not hesitate to unfold the energies of the nation to repel great and unprovoked wrongs. In power, their actions are the best commentary on their principles. For, while they have invigorated every sentiment of friendship with the governments of Europe, and removed many grounds of dissatisfaction, subsisting at the period of their induction into office, they have notwithstanding the pressure of the Louisiana purchase, come forward with promptness and spirit to vindicate our violated rights and interests in the Mediterranean. Let those, who, from just jealousy, or prejudice, indulge an habitual distrust of professions, not forget that actions never deceive. Nat. Intel.
The United States at Peace with the whole civilized world.
Twenty two years have elapsed since the close of our revolutionary contest. During this period we have had serious differences with France, England and Spain, and other unusual sources of embarrassment. We were considerably in debt to the government of France; and we were deeply indebted to the subjects of England. We had our boundaries to settle with England and Spain. Some of our citizens had strong attachments to France, and others to England. The French revolution, with the war it gave rise to, shook Europe to her center, and & drove from their strongest holds of neutrality all the powers of Europe, without an exception, whose interest dictated peace. Amidst this universal convulsion of the civilized world we have preserved peace, we have paid off our debts, we have multiplied our resources, improved the face of our country, doubled our population, extended our commerce beyond all precedent, and have in addition to all this, not only preserved but improved our liberty.
Whence these mighty and astonishing effects? Can they arise from climate? Even Montesquieu, with the full force of his predilection to a favorite theory, could not, were he alive, find any reason for its application here. Does it rise from our superior wisdom? We have to regret that in all the departments of science, other than political, we are inferior to several European nations. Can it flow from peculiar virtues? Unfortunately we are not exempt from the vices of other communities. No it is not to be traced to any extraordinary physical or moral properties of our citizens; but to the nature of their government; to their republican institutions; to the responsibility of their rulers to them; to the patriotism which a free people cherishes; and to the progressive diffusion of
knowledge which spreads among the people. Philosophy has repeated the declaration that war is the greatest scourge of humanity; and that it is the interest of every people to remain at peace. That this is their interest no one doubts. But how has this interest been protected by the vice-generals of Deity as Kings are impiously called; their pride, ambition and folly have set at naught the happiness of the nations they ruled, and heedlessly driven them to arms in support of every frivolous pretension, however unfounded. During the period of peace with which we have been blessed, England has been engaged in war 12 years; France as many; Spain about 8 years; every other European power has been engaged in one or more wars, and one sovereign state has been totally extinguished.
Ought we not then fellow citizens, to exult in our destiny, which scatters roses under our feet and points us to true glory, while the nations of the old world are involved in scenes of desolation and havoc! Ought we not to cherish a warm devotion to the principles and institutions of liberty? Ought we not to feel grateful to the founders of our republic? to those illustrious men, who had the wisdom to perceive the superiority of the simple forms of a republic to the pageantry of royalty, and who had the heroism to risk their lives in its defence. ib.
The prompt interposition of the First Consul and Emperor of Russia to aid the liberation of our captive citizens at Tripoli is an evidence of the friendly relations subsisting between those governments and our own, that will be only fully appreciated by those who, from reflection or experience are acquainted with the difficulty of remaining on good terms with those who from rival interests, imaginary or real, are generally at variance with each other. In the accuracy of this statement we have every reason to confide from the concurrent representation of letters received from abroad, as well as from other sources of information. It is the undoubted interest of the United States to be just in her dealings with all nations: And from many recent indications we have reason to felicitate ourselves on the growing conviction entertained by the powers of Europe that it is likewise their interest to be just to us. It must be a source of peculiar gratification to the friends of our republican institutions to find the most sanguine predictions ever made in the closet fully realised—the peace and prosperity of a nation never found on a firmer basis than they do at present in the United States. This is undoubtedly in the highest degree owing to the virtues and intelligence of our citizens; but next to them we are indebted to our rulers for the faithful discharge of their duty. The aspect of our foreign relations demonstrates the fallhood of the dogma that Republics are deficient in energy in their intercourse with foreign powers. We have often said, and we profit of this occasion to repeat it—a republican government, in the upright discharge of duties delegated by a wise constitution, is the most energetic of all governments. ib.

The elixir of health, the elixir of life, the elixir of grace, &c. all have their virtues, but none of them will cure all the diseases of the human body.—This is the elixir of nature, the plain, natural produce of the earth, collected from trees, roots, plants, flowers, &c.

It is the most sovereign vermifuge, the most effectual cure for worms that ever came into practice, and ought to be kept in every family of children, if for no other purpose.

Let a box be infused in a Pint and half of any kind of spirits or wine and taken at discretion as a bitter, from 2 or 3 tea spoonfuls to a table spoonful, in a glass of any of the above liquors.

By order of the Judge of said Court, W. PECK, Marshall. Providence, June 4th, 1804.

Ms. EDITOR. The following elegiac lines, written in the Country, will I presume be acceptable to the greater part of your poetic readers. V. W.
ASK no more of fortune's envied store, Than what the wants of simple life supplies; Let others roam to India's distant shore, And wealth acquiring, lose contentment's prize.
Be mine, in yonder vale's sequester'd seat, Far from the busy scenes of active care, To mark the fleeting moment's calm retreat, And where I drew, resign my vital air.
For why should man, short tenant of a day, In vain pursuit of trifles, idly toil? To each contending passion burst a prey, The sport of fortune and her fickle smile!
Sure the short span to niggard life assign'd, Heaven ne'er could mean for pleasure's festive round;
Nor that fell passion should deform the mind, Or wild ambition leap o'er reason's bound.
Else why was reason's guard on man bestow'd! If not to curb each tumult of the soul; To point the certain path that leads to good, And rein the wishes erring from its goal.
Yes, 'neath thy guide, O reason, friendly pow'r, I trace the ills of passion's ceaseless strife; Touch'd at their view, I hail the quiet shore, And leave those scenes that route the gales of life.
