FROM THE ENQUIRER.
VINDICATION OF MR. JEFFERSON.
No. V.
THO' the insinuation brought against Mr. Jefferson of his being actuated by personal fear, be entirely of modern origin, yet there were not wanting men at the time of the Revolution who censured then, as some men censure now, every act which does not exactly accord with their own opinions. Such opinions were at that time formed on a very partial knowledge of actual circumstances; and yet the censures of such men as Mr. Turner are nothing more than these opinions "half made up" and strained a little further beyond the limits of truth. Historians like Mr. Turner have indeed little claim to the merit of originality: and even this little consists in throwing a new and more deceitful gloss upon antiquated and refuted mistakes.
Prompted by men of this description, it was that Mr. George Nicholas, at that time a very young, but at all times a very honest man, was resolute in bringing forward some specific charges against Mr. Jefferson. He reduced the heads of these charges to writing: he communicated them thro' a common friend to Mr. J. who also reduced to writing the heads of his justification on each particular charge. This paper is still in existence: and though it was framed, when every circumstance was still fresh in the memory of its author, yet does it not contain the slightest hint about Mr. Jefferson's fabricated flight from Richmond, or of his refusing singly to encounter a whole troop of horse. The film which was spread over Mr. Nicholas's mind, was soon removed. Ashamed of the imposition which had been put upon him, he candidly relinquished the further prosecution of this enquiry. But not satisfied with this tribute of justice, he sometime afterwards embraced a conspicuous occasion of repairing his involuntary mistake in retracting in a most public manner the erroneous opinions which he had advanced.
The reader may depend upon it, that all the preceding facts are substantially correct. They have been gathered by minute enquiries from various quarters, or from visible and authentic records. While such testimony was before us, there was no necessity of resorting to vulgar and ridiculous rumors. But whether these facts shall obtain the credence of the public, is a different question; and in the decision of which, we do not hold ourselves responsible—"Ma fonction est de dire la Verite, et non pas de la faire croire."†
We shall probably have all this statement rebutted by pompous appeals to testimony.—We shall once more be reminded of the declarations of the "oldest and most respectable inhabitants of Richmond." Perhaps when we demand a sight of these witnesses, we shall be introduced to certain foreign merchants who have come among us since our revolution with all their inveterate prejudices against the republican patriots of the country; or to those credulous listeners, who believe whatever they hear; or to certain high-toned federalists, who believe without evidence and propagate without belief the most unfounded calumnies against Mr. Jefferson. If
Mr. Turner wishes to establish his charges beyond the probability of a doubt, he must seek for more substantial testimony than this. Let him produce his witnesses by name: let them be such men, as are entitled to our respect, who tell what they have seen, and not merely what they have heard. Surely from these boasted "thousands of living witnesses" it will be easy to collect the most incontestible proofs. And yet this very obvious doubt at once rises before us. If these men are in existence now, were they not also existing during the period of the revolution? Why then did not these "thousands of living witnesses" lift up their voice against the character of Mr. Jefferson, at that moment when they would have been so much more powerful in "arresting the progress of vice" than they can expect to be at the present time? Why did not this host of witnesses arise to criminate and overwhelm Mr. Jefferson, before all those calamities had befallen our country, which have flowed in such copious streams from the celebrated act concerning religious freedom, from the docking of entails, from the revision of the Virginia Code, by which the chaos of the law was reduced to order; from the correspondence with Hammond and Genet, from a report on the American commerce, from a report on the fisheries, from the reduction of our national debt, the abridgment of executive patronage, and the acquisition of Louisiana? Fortunately for the credit of their own patriotism; unfortunately for the federal cause; unfortunately for the justification of Mr. Turner; not one of these thousands was either sent into the Virginia legislature, or into Congress. For in the fall term of 1781, an enquiry into the conduct of the executive was instituted at the request of Mr. Jefferson, agreeable to their resolution of June the 12th. When the assembly met six months after. Mr. Jefferson, who was a member from Albemarle,* called up the subject himself. Still no charges were exhibited against him, though that long period had elapsed. It was then that the House of Delegates gave an unanimous vote for his acquittal. It was then that they passed a vote of thanks for his patriotic services during the revolution, in the following strong, sincere and grateful language:
"In the House of Delegates, Monday, Nov. 26th, 1781. A motion was made, that the house come to the following resolution: That this house will, on the 12th of December next, proceed agreeably to a resolution of the 12th of June last, to enquire into the conduct of the Executive of this state for the last twelve months next preceding the said resolution, and that as well as the information against the executive as their defence be heard on that day.—This motion being agreed to, a committee was appointed, consisting of Mr. Banister, Mr. Tyler, Mr. Nicholas, Mr. Southall and Mr. Morgan.—On the 12th of December, 1781, Mr. Banister reported from the committee appointed to state any charges, and receive such information as might be offered, respecting the ad-
* Journals of the House of Delegates.
† It is worthy of remark that the committee were instructed to give notice in writing, if any charges were exhibited to the members which composed the executive: whence it appears, that this was not a personal attack against Mr. Jefferson.

ministration of the late executive; that the committee did according to order, convene for that purpose, and no information being offered on the subject matter of the said enquiry, except that some rumours prevailed, which appeared to the committee to have been the cause of the original order of the 12th of June, directing the said enquiry; that the committee had come to a resolution, thereupon, which he read and delivered in at the clerk's table, where the same was read twice, and agreed to by the house, as followeth:
"Resolved, that it is the opinion of this committee, the said rumours were groundless.—A motion was made that the house come to the following resolution: "Resolved, that the sincere thanks of the assembly be given to our former governor, Thomas Jefferson, Esq. for his impartial, upright, and attentive administration of the powers of the executive, whilst in office. Popular rumours gaining some degree of credence by more pointed accusations, rendered it necessary to make an enquiry into his conduct, and delayed that retribution of public gratitude , so eminently merited. But that conduct having become the object of open scrutiny, tenfold value is added to an approbation founded in a cool and deliberate discussion : The assembly with therefore, in the strongest manner to declare the high opinion they entertain of Mr. Jefferson's ability, rectitude, and integrity as Chief Magistrate of this Commonwealth, and mean by thus publicly avowing their opinion, to obviate all future, and to remove all former unmerited censure." And the said resolution being read a second time, was on the question being put thereupon, agreed to by the house, NEMINE CONTRADICENTE .
Extract from the Journals of the House of Delegates. Attest, JOHN STEWART, C.H.D. Signed in the presence of Samuel Coleman.
During the same session, Mr. Jefferson was also unanimously honored, by the following resolution:
"Friday, November 30th, 1781, Resolved, that Thomas Jefferson, Esq. be appointed a delegate to represent this commonwealth in Congress, until the first Monday in November next, in the room of John Blair, Esq. who hath resigned; he having been elected by joint ballot of both houses."
These honorable tributes were offered to the ability and integrity of Mr. J. though there were in the lobby of the house "thousands of living witnesses" who "respected the character of a firm and virtuous public officer, and who abhorred that of a dastardly traitor to the trust reposed in him." Reader, put the rein upon your indignation! and behold the repeated refutations which have been given of this calumny, by the public tributes which have been offered to his merits.
Having remained for some time in Congress, Mr. J. was associated with Dr. Franklin and Mr. Adams, on an embassy to Europe, the object of which is generally known, (see journals of Congress.) This appointment he thought proper to decline. Soon after he was nominated foreign minister; but while preparing to set sail at Annapolis, he was stopped by certain events, which rendered his mission of no avail. Next he was appointed successor to the illustrious Franklin at the court of Versailles. In this difficult and delicate appointment, he exhibited a deportment highly honorable to his country and satisfactory to his government, while in those days, "when certain stars shot madly from their spheres," he preserved his principles pure and unpolluted, amidst the intrigues of the most corrupt court in Europe.—"Even at the footstool of the throne, he preserved the attitude of dignity, and spoke the language of truth."
When he returned to his native state, the Virginia legislature was in
session. Immediately it passed a resolution congratulating him on his safe arrival, and thanking him for his services while he was abroad. But what makes this tribute of affection and respect more worthy of remark is, that it was conveyed to Mr. J. by some who have since appeared among the most inveterate enemies of his person and his politics; men, who now affect to believe those very aspersions which if they had been true, must have been well known to them, when the courtly and immaculate Henry Lee presented the following Resolution:
"In the house of delegates, Monday, Dec. 7th, 1789, on motion made, resolved, that a committee be appointed to congratulate Thomas Jefferson, Esq. late Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to the court of Versailles, on his return to his native country, and to assure him of the esteem which the House of Representatives bear for his tried character and public services." And a committee was appointed of Mr. Henry Lee, Mr. Zane, Mr. Edmund Randolph, Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Corbin, Mr. Dawley, Mr. Edmund Carrington, Mr. King, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Strother, Mr. William Cabell, jun. and Mr. Nicholas. On the 9th, W. Lee informed the House that duty had been performed, and answer returned, which was reported to the house."
Extract from the journals. JOHN STEWART, C.H.D. Mr. Jefferson was not long permitted to enjoy the pleasures of retirement, when he was appointed by Gen. Washington, Secretary of State. In this office, the most important and confidential under the government, he continued twelve months longer than he had stipulated, retiring at last against the wishes of that illustrious man. Of this fact the offer of an appointment to Spain, in no long time after, remains an indubitable proof. But in the very bosom of his retirement, Mr. Jefferson was not forgotten by his friends, nor was he forgotten by his enemies. Even now the federalists boast, that he was afterwards excluded from the confidence of Washington. Even now they tell us in the proud spirit of contrast, that it was wholly transferred to their favorite Hamilton, to that pious and penitent christian, who after having been always represented "pure as snow, and chaste as ice," was compelled by the terrors of a death-bed conscience to acknowledge and abjure the infidelity of his life. But though exiled from the affections of this illustrious idol of his country, by the insidious intrigues of the X Y Zs of the cabinet, and though assailed by the clamorous hirelings of a domestic faction and a foreign cabinet, Mr. Jefferson was neither shorn of the reputed merits of his life, nor the merited confidence of the people. Like the thrice purified gold of the chymists, he passed through the fiery furnace of persecution, more pure and effulgent than ever. At length he was selected by the Republicans of the Union, to discharge the duties of the Vice-President. During the four years in which he presided over the senate of the United States, he was not an idle observer of the scene before him. He established a laudable uniformity in the proceedings of that body, and in the decisions of the chair; digested all the usages of similar assemblies, and compiled a manual of parliamentary practice which had been adopted in all the deliberate bodies of the Union, which has become the basis of all their proceedings, and will remain an honorable and lasting monument of his learning, industry, and unquenchable attachment to the institutions of his country. On the ensuing election he was promoted to the high office of President of the United States, and so admirable were the measures of his administration, so consentaneous to the interests and opinions of the people, that he was once more elected, and by a majority which no other citizen of the Union could possibly command.—And yet will it be believed that these
various pledges of public confidence would have been repeated, had Mr. J's conduct been dictated by "timidity," had he been a "dastardly traitor to the trust reposed in him," had he been guilty of such "monstrous atrocity, such diabolical turpitude, of such extensive, continued, and deliberate villainy as defies the strongest language" even of Mr. Turner's "pen?" Can such ridiculous tales as these stand up against the common sense of the American nation? Yet with all these suppositions facts staring them in the face, with all this dreadful clamor thundering in their ears, they have committed the dignity of this beloved country to the auspices of Mr. Jefferson, and by him will it be restored in all its original splendor to the fountain from which it flowed.

French Note, presented to the Diet of Ratisbon.
RATISBON, August 29.
"Under the present circumstances of affairs, when the movements of the House of Austria menace the Continent with a new war, his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of the French, King of Italy, judges it necessary to make known, in a frank and solemn declaration, the sentiments by which he is animated, in order to enable his cotemporary and posterity to judge, with a true knowledge of the case, in the event of their war taking place, who has been the aggressor."
"It is with this view, that the undersigned Chargé d'affaires of his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of the French, to the German Diet, has received orders to present a faithful exposition of the principles by which his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor, has been uniformly actuated in his conduct towards Austria."
"Every thing which that power has done contrary to the spirit and letter of Treaties, the Emperor has hitherto permitted. He has not complained of the immediate extension of territory on the right side of the Paves against the acquisition of Landau against all the other acquisitions made by him in Silesia, and which, subsequently, to the treaty of Luneville, have materially altered the relative situation of the neighboring States in the interior of Germany; against those, in fine, which continue at the present moment the subject of negotiation with different Princes, to the perfect knowledge of all Germany; he has not complained of the debt of Venice not having been discharged, contrary to the spirit & the letter of the treaties of Campo Formio, and Luneville; he has not complained of the denial of justice experienced at Vienna by his subjects at Milan and Mantua, none of whom, notwithstanding the formal stipulations, have been paid their demands; neither has he complained of the partiality with which Austria has recognized the right of blockade, which England so notoriously arrogates to herself; and when the neutrality of the Austrian flags was so often violated to the injury of France, he was not provoked by this conduct of the Court of Vienna to make any complaint, thus making a sacrifice to his love of peace, in preserving distance upon the subject."
"The Emperor has evacuated Switzerland, rendered tranquil and happy by his act of mediation; he has not kept in Italy a greater number of troops than is indispensably necessary to maintain the positions which they occupy to the extremity of the peninsula, in order to protect the commerce of the Levant, and to insure himself in object of compensation, which may determine England to evacuate Malta, and Russia to evacuate Corfu; he has not upon the Rhine and interior of the Empire, any more troops than are indispensably necessary to garrison the different places."
"Engaged entirely in the operations of a war which he has not provoked, which he sustains as much for the interest of Europe as for his own, and in which his principal end is the reestablishment of the equilibrium of commerce, and the equal right of all flags upon the sea, he has united all his forces in the camps upon the borders of the ocean, far distant from the Austrian frontiers; he has employed all the resources of his Empire to construct fleets, to form his marine, to improve his ports; and, it is at the same moment when he reposed with entire confidence upon the execution of Treaties which have re-established the Peace of the Continent, that Austria rises from her state of repose, organizes her forces upon the war establishment, sends an army into the States of Italy, establishes another equally considerable in the Tyrol; it is at this moment that she makes new levies of cavalry, that she forms magazines, that she strengthens her fortifications, that she terrifies, by her preparations the people of Bavaria, of Suabia, and of Switzerland, and discovers an evident intention of making a diversion so obviously favourable to England, and more injuriously hostile towards France, than would be a direct campaign, and an open declaration of war. In these grave circumstances, the Emperor of the French has deemed it his duty to invite the Court of Vienna to return to a proper sense of its true interests. All the expedients which an ardent love of peace could suggest, have been resorted to with avidity, and several times renewed. The Court of Vienna has made high professions of its respect for the treaties which exist between it and France; but its military preparations have developed her intentions, at the same time that her declarations have become more and more pacific. Austria has declared that she has no hostile intention against the
States of his Majesty the Emperor of the French; Against whom then, are her preparations directed? Are they against the Swits? Are they against Bavaria? Will they in the end, be directed against the German Empire itself?
"His Majesty the Emperor of the French has never separated the interests of his Empire from those of the Princes of Germany who are attached to him. Any injuries which they may sustain, any dangers by which they may be menaced can never be indifferent to him, or foreign from his lively solicitude."
"Pursuant to the Princes and States of the German Empire are penetrated with the same sentiments, the undersigned, in the name of the Emperor of the French, invites the Diet to unite with him in pressing by every consideration of justice and reason, the Emperor of Austria not to expose for any longer period the present generation incalculable calamities! to spare the blood of a multitude of men doomed to perish the victims of a war, the object of which is foreign to Germany, which at the moment of its breaking out is every where the subject of enquiry and doubt, and whose real motives cannot be avowed."
"The alarms of the Continent will not be allayed, until the Emperor of Austria yielding to the just and pressing representations of Germany, shall cease his hostile preparations, shall not keep in Suabia and in the Tyrol, more troops than are necessary for garrisoning the place, and shall replace his army on the Peace Establishment. Was it not understood, since the Convention entered into in consequence of the Treaty of Luneville, that the Austrian armies could not pass the territories of Upper Austria, without committing actual hostility? Was not Austria sensible at that period, that France, being then engaged in a foreign war, having withdrawn her troops from Suabia, and having put a stop to the movements which it could make by means of the corps of troops we had in Switzerland, it was not just to oppose to such marks of confidence precautions truly aggressive? The circumstances being the same at present on the part of France, why are the measures of Austria so different? Why does she keep sixty battalions in the Tyrol and Suabia, whilst the forces of France are collected at a distance for an expedition against England?"
"There exists no difference at this moment between the Silesian Republic and the German Empire; no difference between Bavaria and Austria; and if any credit is to be given to the declaration of the Court of Vienna, there exists none between it and France. For what unknown objects then has the Court of Vienna assembled so many troops?"
"It can have but one plausible object; that is to keep France in a state of indecision, to place her in a state of inactivity; and, in a word, to arrest her progress on the cave of a decisive effort.—But this object can only be obtained for a time—France has been deceived; she is no longer so—She has been obliged to postpone her enterprises; she still defers them; she waits the effect of these remonstrances; she waits the effect of the representation of the Germanic Diet. But when every effort shall be fruitlessly made to bring Austria to the adoption either of a sincere peace, or of an undisguised and open hostility, his Majesty the Emperor of the French will fulfil all the duties imposed on him by his dignity and his power; he will direct his efforts to every quarter in which France shall be menaced. Providence has bestowed on him sufficient strength to contend against England with one hand, and with the other to defend the honour of his standards, and the rights of his allies."
"Should the Diet adopt the course which the undersigned has orders to point out to it; should it succeed in representing to the view of the Emperor of Austria the real situation, in which these movements made perhaps, without reflection; ordered, perhaps, without any hostile intention, and solely in consequence of foreign influence, have placed the Continent; should it succeed in persuading this Sovereign, individually humane and just, that he has no enemies, that his frontiers are not threatened, that France had twice had it in her power to deprive him for ever of one half of his hereditary States, if she had extended her wishes beyond what had been established at Campo Formio and Luneville; that by his dispositions, which even before they are fully developed, affect France even in the centre of her action, he interferes, without advantage to his State, and without honour to his policy, in a quarrel which is foreign to him, the Diet will have deserved well of Germany, of Switzerland, of Italy, of France, of all Europe, with the exception of a single nation, the enemy of the general tranquility, and which has founded its prosperity on the hope and the design, ardently and perseveringly maintained, of perpetuating the discord, the troubles, and the divisions of the Continent.—The undersigned, &c."

NEWPORT,  Wednesday, Nov. 27, 1805.
The publication of this week's paper, on account of the approaching thanksgiving, is one day earlier than usual.
We have before observed, that this second letter of Mr. Turner, does not contain a single particle of evidence, in support of the charge which he brought forward in his first. We will now proceed to notice an unworthy expression in his second letter, which pretty clearly points out the kind of evidence upon which his charges against Mr. Jefferson rest. For he tells us in this second letter, that it was not his intention to have his first published, but that he intended his name should have been made use of in support of the charges his letter contained.
Now, what an honest man Mr. Turner makes himself out to be. How obvious it is, that if Mr. Turner's bungling friend at Boston, instead of publishing his letter, had published the falsehoods which it contained, and given Mr. Turner's name in evidence of their truth, every person would have supposed, that Mr. Turner was personally acquainted with what his Boston friend had asserted. But fortunately for the cause of virtue, and innocence, the letter itself was published; by reason of which, it has since appeared, that the author was wholly ignorant of the truth of its contents. By connecting this circumstance with Mr. Turner's offer to acquaint "a gentleman" with the name of his author, it is apparent that those authors are as likely to have derived their information from "men of age and respectability," as Mr. Turner.
What kind of evidence is this, by which to convict a man of improper or criminal conduct? Heretofore it has been styled hearsay evidence; but of late a much more appropriate term has been invented. It may now be emphatically styled federal evidence.
GENERAL EATON landed at Hampton, (Vir.) on the morning of the 8th inst. and proceeded immediately to Washington. He came passenger in the brig Franklin from Gibraltar.
It appears by Bonaparte's late Speech to the French Senate, that the Austrians have declared war against France.
Congress will meet on the 2d day of December next. The Senators and Members of Congress from this State, are now on their way to the seat of Government.
COMMUNICATION. TIVERTOWN, Nov. 11, 1805.  MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
As Mr. Jonathan Baker was butchering a very large hog, for which purpose, a number of the neighbors had collected to assist, the hog was hung on an oak stick that rested one end in the chamber window, and the other on a pair of beams erected for the purpose. The end in the window not being properly secured, gave way, and fell across the neck and back of Christopher Holt, of which wound he survived only 48 hours; leaving a sorrowful widow and five children to lament his untimely death; and the public a kind and benevolent friend.
London, Sept. 18.—There will be, in the next campaign, the unexampled circumstance of three Emperors, at the head of their armies. Bonaparte, of course. But Francis II. will head his troops, it is said, on the German side; the Emperor Alexander will follow his troops to the aid of his brother of Austria. Thus eagle meets eagle in a combat, than which the world never witnessed a more important, nor on the result, of which greater events depended.
Gibraltar, Oct. 6.—Letters from Spain state, that hostilities have begun in Italy, and that a battle had been fought at Verona, between the French commanded by Marshal Massena, and the Austrians.
From the Richmond Enquirer.
We shall at present pause in our remarks and quotations on the means of defending the commerce of the United States, against the encroachments of Great-Britain. Next to Mr. Barlow's arguments in favor of the sequestration of debts, and to Mr. Madison's resolutions and speech in favor of commercial restrictions, it was our plan to introduce some original or selected remarks upon the suspension of our commercial intercourse. These we have omitted, because, though we conceive it to be the policy of the United States to restrict and modify our trade with Great-Britain, we do not conceive it to be our interest to suspend it altogether; and because many of the fundamental observations, of Mr. Madison, are equally calculated to throw a light on this, as well as on the measure to which they were originally applied. The following resolutions on this very subject, and the proceedings which took place in the Senate in 1794, it may, however, be interesting, as well as useful to recall to the consideration of the reader.
It is perfectly recollected, that a sequestration of British debts is forbidden by the last of the ten perpetual articles of the British treaty. But it is supposed to be constitutional for Congress, in certain cases, to declare any treaty null and void, as in the case of the French treaty.
Whether the capture of our vessels, condemnation of our property, and impressment of our seamen, amount to violations, on the part of the British, of that treaty, in letter or spirit, let others determine. No doubt is entertained, in our mind, that a perseverance in the conduct lately adopted by the English towards the Americans, will inevitably, and as speedily as possible for our government to act, produce a change in the state of affairs between the two countries. (Bee.)
COMMUNICATION.
Yesterday's Continent says that federalism is gaining ground in Rhode-Island, and gives this for a reason, viz. "that public schools are patronised, and places of worship are building." If the writer is not a fool, he must know, that this has been the case in a most astonishing degree, ever since our country has been blessed with the administration of a JEFFERSON; and in the same proportion as religion has flourished, has federalism been gaining ground "backwards." Notwithstanding it was predicted by the federalists, that religion was in danger, from the "reign of democracy"—"that the doors of the Meeting-House would be nailed up—Bibles destroyed, &c."—yet it is a fact, that in no period since the country was settled, (certainly not since we have had a national government, has religion and the encouragement of schools been so generally patronised, as they have been under Mr. JEFFERSON's administration. As it respects federalism, we believe it stands pretty much as it did when the last political census was taken, as 14 to 162!—Chronicle.
Previous to last September election, the federalists in private consultation, boasted that they were making such exertions as would put down republicanism forever in Connecticut. And since the election they have talked much of the mortifying defeat, as they filed it, which Republicanism has suffered, and repeatedly called upon us to yield the point, and struggle no more against the omnipotence of federalism.
Now this would all do mighty well, and we might possibly be persuaded that we were going down hill, were it not for one stumbling block, viz. Arithmetic—this lone how or other happens to be at variance with federal boasting. We do not mean federal arithmetic, which proves anything to its professors; but the genuine old arithmetic, which has been in use ever since the days of the Patriarchs—FROURS are always at variance with federalism, because they speak truth, and cannot be perverted; were it not for these obstinate things, it might undoubtedly be made out that not a single democratic vote had been given this year in Connecticut. Let us see the result.
In estimating the votes for the nomination, we find that in 1804, the average federal majority was 4544. In 1805, the average federal majority is 2943.
Diminution of federal majority in one year 1601.
Two more such "mortifying defeats," will sink republicanism into a majority, and give federalism an Irish hoist to that "post of honor, a private station!" If we had never heard federalism talk before, we should be surprised at their persisting contrary to the plainest facts, in the ridiculous assertion, that republicanism has suffered a mortifying defeat.
Perhaps, however, they mean that it is mortifying to themselves, if so, we shall not be disposed to question their correctness.—Witness.
How many persons there are among us, who live unmolested, and are enumerated in our census as American, who in fact have the hearts of traitors! They like the British Government, (that irreconcilable foe to America) better than their own! They believe the stories of Arnold and Tarleton against our best, our long-tried, and most distinguished fellow citizens! They admire the British administration, whatever be its policy towards the United States; and admire the corrupt and luxurious Lord Melville more than they do the simple, economical, and incorruptible GALLATIN! Partisans who suppress the faults of the British administration, and blazon forth, as with an hundred mouths, (by means of their venal presses) the real or imaginary imperfections of their own! Verily, verily; altho' they call themselves Americans, they have the hearts of traitors!
The President of the United States has issued his exequatur, recognizing George Hammakin, esq. his Danish Majesty's Consul for the ports of the State of New-York, New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode-Island and Connecticut.

POETRY.
FROM THE EVENING FIRE-SIDE.
TO DAY AND TO MORKOW.
TO-DAY the Sun with cloudless ray, Beams joy and happiness around; To-morrow winds tempestuous play, And sleet adorns the frozen ground.
Such is the doom to man assign'd; Such are the changes of the mind.
To-day the genial zephyrs breathe, The fragrance of the opening year; To-morrow sees the barren heath, And vegetation disappear.
Such is the fate of human kind; Such are the changes of the mind.
To-day the Sun of Pleasure smiles, Youth, Joy and Beauty deck the scenes; The magic wand of hope beguiles, And not a dark cloud intervenes;
Such is the view to youth assign'd, Such the delusions of the mind.
To-morrow Disappointment lowers, Cares canker gnaws the aching breast, Regret each passing moment lours, Or Sorrow rears her gorgon crest:
Such is the doom to man assign'd; Such are the changes of the mind.
To-day deceitful Fortune wears, The glad'ning smile of Joy and Peace; We seek not Sorrow's hidden snare, That soon may bid our pleasure cease;
Our prospects fair and unconfined, Yield sweet contentment to the mind.
To-morrow wears another face; And dark'ning clouds obscure the view; In vain the past scenes we retrace, Or strive the future to pursue:
But dreary are the thoughts assign'd, To occupy the gloomy mind.
To-day then let us all prepare, For what the morrow may produce: To-morrow be our chiefest care, To put each hour to proper use,
Move in the sphere by Heaven design'd, And regulate the wandering mind.

THEATRICAL CHARACTER
OF
MRS. DARLEY.
With all that sports innocence of face, Which gives to beauty a superior grace; With all that native purity of mind, Which springs from virtue, and a taste refin'd; With each perfection that can charm the eye, In scenes of pleasure, or when danger's nigh; With power at will to kindle or controul The soft emotions of the human soul; Sweet Darley comes, and as she comes, she draws
From each the tribute of desert'd applause. In hapless thore, with irresistible art, She takes possession of the feeling heart; Feigns what she speaks with such enchanting ease,
We melt in pity or in horror freeze; Glow with reticent which we can't express, And weep that beauty feels so much distress. Nor think her powers are circumscript'd to this, Whatever she acts, she never acts amiss. At her command the various passions rise, Live in her looks, and sparkle in her eyes; Steal on our hearts, and like electric fire, With kindred feelings, ev'ry breast inspire. Thus, blest with all an actress should possess, Where reason bids, she lays peculiar spells; In look expressive, and in action just, Too fond of pleasing to excite disgust. She nicely shuns what'er might give offence, And lends new vigor to the author's sense. Since then so perfect every part she plays, For her the muse shall twine a wreath of bays; And, warm'd with holy inspiration's flame, To distant ages wait fair Darley's name.
