Republican Economy;
Or, EVIDENCES of the Superiority of the present Administra- tion over that of JOHN ADAMS. Together with a Correct View of the LATE SALE OF BANK STOCK. BY JOHN B. COLVIN—Editor of the Repub- lican Advocate, Frederick-Town, Maryland.
FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS."
A REPUBLICAN Government may be as- similated to a Pyramid; The People are the base on which it stands; their Representatives are the sides; and the Executive Magistrate forms its point. The beauty of the whole re- quires, that, in the conformation, particular attention should be given to its order and pro- portion.
The People should be correctly informed; the Representatives wise and even tempered; and the Executive, in addition to all these, enlightened and energetic. The Chief Mag- istrate of a Nation, like the point of a Pyramid subject to the warring elements of Nature, is most exposed to the conflicting opinions of ever- varying Politicians.
Where a People are not correctly informed, no administration, founded upon the genuine PRINCIPLES of Rational Liberty, can long exist. Evil men will delude the popular mind. The operations of gold, assisted by fair profess- sions, will form a talisman, controlling the public opinion; and unprincipled characters, possessing the secret, will seize upon the honors and dignities of the nation. They will trample upon the Rights of every Citizen; and usurp a despotic and unbounded sway.
The surest way to avert so direful a misfor- tune, is to inform the understandings of men, and carry conviction home to their senses.
To expand information no less important than it is true, is the leading and most powerful motive inducing the writer of this small Pam- phlet, to lay it before his fellow-citizens. It is given to the world as an overwhelming evidence, that a Republican Government is superior to all others; and that THOMAS JEFFERSON, whom an immense majority of the People have chosen to execute their laws, is worthy of their con- fidence, and entitled to a large share in their warmest affections.
On coming into power, the present Admini- stration avowed in the presence of the Nation, that its leading feature should be ECONOMY. This sentiment was lauded by every description of people. Even the personal and political ene- mies of THOMAS JEFFERSON gave him full credit for the declaration. They were forced to acknowledge the merit of such a resolution, whilst in their hearts they cursed the avowal, and determined, by every mean within their power, to thwart the endeavor. To this de- termination, they have been, and still are, firm!
The venom of a disappointed Opposition, however, affigued to its leading members a task, as arduous as it was degrading, as toilsome as it was useless.
In the minds of those who had formerly occupied a distinguished situation in the Ad- ministration of our Government, the infernal resolve was first engendered, to misrepresent every public action of those who came after them. Their souls sickened at the view of Virtue and Talents triumphing over Vanity, Ignorance and Fraud. Their pride was palied at the contemplation of their significance crum- bling into atoms at the attainment of the Presi- dential honors by THOMAS JEFFERSON. They trembled at the presence of the Statesman who weighed honors in the scales of merit, and dispensed the favors of the nation with an even hand.
Hence, we have been doomed to witness for nearly two years, the abuse and traduction of the wisest and best men in the nation; and the libelous misrepresentation of every official act of the government.
Republican explanation has endeavoured to keep pace with these malicious perversions. In numerous instances, Truth has arrested the cul- prit Falsehood, on the highway of Slander; bound and gagged her, and presented her a victim at the shrine of violated Justice. But as Fal- hood is more alert than Truth, it cannot be expected that the antidote has been always co-extensive with the poison.
As the Treasury is the firmest sinew of any Government, to attack that, and induce a be- lief that it would be entirely drained under the auspices of ALBERT GALLATIN, was a favorite item in the erroneous calculations of the Op- position.
They imagined, that if they should pro- claim to the People, that the Treasure of the Nation was waiting, the public opinion would return to its errors, and recall to the Councils of the country, the robbers of her coffers, and the usurpers of rights. But the hope was allu- sive! and the cause of Truth has gained a

victory in this instance, more gratifying to the friends of the present Administration, than of Marengo was to Bonaparte .
THOMAS JEFFERSON came into the office of President of the United States, on the 4th day of March, 1801. On the 1st day of April thereafter, and before ALBERT GALLATIN had entered upon the duties of Secretary, there were in the National Treasury, but one million, seven hundred and ninety four thousand, and forty-four dollars and 84 cents.
In December, 1801, Mr. GALLATIN made his first Report, which was laid before Congress. It was up to the 1st day of October, 1801. On that day there remained in the Treasury, after all the expenses of the Government had been disbursed, the sum of two millions, nine hundred and forty eight thousand, seven hundred and eighteen dollars, and 73 cents.
From the 4th of March to the 1st of October, 1801, is a period of seven months, deducting four days. In the course of this short time the Treasury had experienced an actual increase of one million, one hundred and fifty four thousand, six hundred and seventy three dollars, and 83 cents.
This will appear by a statement and deduction:
   Dols. Cts.     Balance of monies in the Treasury of the U. S. on the 1st of October, 1801, 2,948,718 73   Balance of monies left in the Treasury by the Adams Administration, 1,794,044 84   Increase of specie in the Treasury, for the first seven months of the JEFFERSON Administration, deducting four days, 1,154,673 88  
By which it will appear that nearly as much money was saved in less than seven months, as had been accumulated under the opposition for the four years preceding. It is well also to remark, that during this period the army and navy were in full organization, so that no excuse can be offered on the score of having to make larger disbursements whilst Mr. Adams was in office.
We must now call the attention of the public to a subject of more magnitude. All must remember that at the first session of Congress after Mr. Jefferson's induction to office, the whole fabric of internal taxation was levelled at a blow! The people were freed from a burden of nine hundred thousand dollars yearly. The weight fell from their shoulders like a load of sin from the mind of a regenerated Christian.
The opposition itself shrunk aghast at the destruction of this wonderful column of oppression, reared by their iniquitous hands. Every opposition pen was put in motion; every opposition press moved with unwonted velocity; teeming with predictions of the impoverishment of the country, and (what they fondly desired) the downfall of the Republican Administration.
A number of essays were written and published at New-York, foretelling the ruin of the country from the measure. These were attributed to Alexander Hamilton. Robert Goodloe Harper labored, in a series of numbers over the signature of "Republicanus" to shew the impropriety of the repeal. This was to have been expected. The opposition had increased taxation. It was necessary for them to defend their conduct. The repeal by the Republicans was a severe condemnation of all their financial proceedings.
Indeed, this is the only instance wherein the opposition are excusable in the promulgation of their fears. But they should have done so decently. Their resorting to slander destroyed half the force of their reasoning.
There were many Republicans who had their doubts on this subject. Who, in fact, would not have supposed, from this sudden curtailment of the national revenues, at least an exhaustion of all the monies that might be received into the Treasury the ensuing year, for the payment of the necessary expenses of the government? Some of the warmest friends of the Administration doubted whether at the end of the year 1802 there would remain a cent in the Treasury. But the welfare of the people was their only motive of action, and if the receipts and expenditures merely squared with each other at the end of the year, so the taxes were lessened, the object of the Republicans was accomplished.
It was reserved for the brightest luminary of that constellation of worthies which administers the government of our country, to exemplify to the world the picture of a nation controlling her expenses by her means.
In defiance of this immense repeal; and in the face of the most daring and profligate opposition ever experienced by any government, the report of the Secretary of the Treasury laid before Congress in December of the last year (1802) proclaims the astonishing fact, that there were in the Treasury on the first day of October, 1802, four millions five hundred and thirty-nine thousand six hundred and seventy-five dollars and fifty-seven cents! So that independent of the enormous sum of four millions one hundred and fifty-two thousand eight hundred and sixty-nine dollars sixty-six cents, paid out of the Treasury (distinct from, and independent of, the monies produced by the Sale of the Bank Stock) on account of the principal of our public debt, there remained a difference in favour of the Treasury for the last year (1802) of one million five hundred and ninety thousand nine hundred and fifty six dollars eighty-four cents. A ding these two sums together, however there will appear an actual balance in favor of the United States, for one year (last past) of upwards of five millions seven hundred and forty thousand dollars!
It may here be remarked, that the payment of upwards of four millions of dollars towards the extinction of a public debt, is a thing un-
precedented in the history of the Adam's Administration.
Let us now have reference to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, and ascertain the aggregate amount in favor of the United States.
The payments (says Mr. GALLATIN) on account of the public debt, from the first day of April, 1801, to the 30th day of September, 1802 (exclusively of and in addition to the Bank debt, discharged out of the proceeds of Bank Shares) amount to dollars 5,339,886 44
And if to that sum shall be added the increase of specie in the Treasury during the same period, which amounts to dollars 2,745,630 72
Making a difference in favor of the United States, for the first 18 months of Republican Administration, of dollars 8,085,517 16
Which large sum, incredible as the opposition may pretend to esteem it (and independently of the immense savings by repeal and economical regulations) has actually been secured by the Republicans, during the first eighteen months of THOMAS JEFFERSON's Administration.
When money accumulates so rapidly, without the aid of war or oppression, the people must believe that their rulers are honest men, and the principles by which they are governed, are pure and calculated for their happiness.
European nations will be led to enquire by what wonderful political magic this vast saving has been effected? They may seek for the cause in their monarchies in vain! The citizens of the United States may proudly answer—This unprecedented prosperity of our country has been accomplished by virtuous men administering a Republican government.
Now that our national affairs have so greatly prospered, what is the yell of a barbarous opposition? We are told through the medium of their presses, that they raised the money! Let us give them all their due:—
That the leaders of opposition are the men who laid the taxes upon the people, is too true. If there be merit in the creation of laws to burthen the nation, in the name of Heaven let them enwreathe their brows with all the laurels to be derived from such a source. A Republican Administration will never assume consequence from the exaction of a tax when it is unnecessary to levy it. The palm of oppression belongs exclusively to the opposition.
They imposed the internal taxes—the Republicans repealed them! How, then, can it be avowed, that the Treasury, under direction of ALBERT GALLATIN, has been enriched by the proceeds of these taxes? Can a tax repealed be a tax still? or rather, is not the declaration the bold vagary of a shameless party?
Here let us pause, and ask the reason of this difference? One sentence will suffice for an answer.
The men were not honest who presided at the head of affairs!
And shall we refuse to those who have achieved these wonders, a full share of our confidence? Shall Virtue, Integrity and Genius attain no refuge from the vindictive rancor of an abandoned party? Yes! In the favors of their country, JEFFERSON and his friends shall find an asylum from the voice of Slander! The envenomed tooth of the hell-born Hag shall be extracted by the voice of five millions of freemen; and the vengeance of public opinion doom to everlasting infamy those who do not escape the odium by returning to the doctrines of the fathers of our Revolution.
[To be concluded in our next.]
If the inflammatory harrangues of the red-heads should so far beguile the people of Kentucky as to make them disregard their obligations as citizens of the Union, be it well remembered by whom these efforts are made; let it not be forgotten that Mr. Ross, who excited the people of this State to oppose the excise laws, is the same man who now declares he will head another Western insurrection—let it not be forgotten that these advocates for war and insurrection are the men who have so long tailed themselves the friends of order and regular government, and be the blame of whatever may result on them alone; the republicans are as jealous of the country's rights and honor as their opponents, and in fact much more so, but they are not for madly running into greater danger than evil is now felt—they agree that their brethren to the Westward are suffering unmerited hardships, but they believe every thing which policy and sound prudence dictate will be done by the general government, and they would regret if the specious language of the federalists, their political enemies, should have a greater effect than the tried and approved friendship of the republicans. [Aur.]
Even admitting that the republicans have placed 2,000,000 of dollars at the disposal of the President, does that sum bear any proportion to the sum proposed by Ross? Do 2 bear any proportion to 5? It is the pride; it is the glory of the federalists to squander the public treasure—they have been used to it; but they never will persuade Mr. Jefferson to follow their extravagant advice. If they were to vote him ten millions, the money would be as safe as if it never had been voted at all.
We should be glad to know what the people of New-England think of the federalists in Congress, who are for expending five millions of dollars, and calling out 50,000 men at an enormous expense—to obstruct the prosperity of the union in general—when negotiation can remedy a particular evil.
In Norfolk, Virginia, on the 19th of February, the snow was 3 feet deep.
The proceedings in the next congress will not be so much clogged as heretofore, from the agitating schemes of a Bayard, nor the members in dread of assassination from the presence of a Rutledge.—Bye and bye Connecticut will be the only state whose members can disturb the order of the house; Griswold will be so often involved in calculations, that Dana will of necessity be obliged to act the Ailas .

Highly Important!
WASHINGTON CITY, March 14. (OFFICIAL.)
Translation of a letter from the Marquis de Casa Yrujo to the Secretary of State.
WASHINGTON, March 10, 1803.
SIR, When you represented to me towards the end of November last, that the port of New Orleans had been shut against the citizens of the United States, without the assignment of any equivalent place of deposit for their merchandise on the Banks of the Mississippi, according to the stipulation in the 22d article of the Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation between the King my master and the United States, I did not hesitate to declare to you that I considered this measure, as flowing solely from the mistaken zeal of the Intendant of Louisiana, without the approbation and even without the knowledge of my court. I well knew the sincere desire of the King, my master, to live in peace and good harmony with the United States; as I also knew well the scrupulous good faith with which the Spanish government fulfills the engagements which it forms, particularly when they are founded on the solemnity of a Treaty.
"I have now the satisfaction of informing you that my first opinion has been verified, and of declaring in the most positive terms, that the proclamation of the Intendant is an act purely personal, without the sanction and even without the knowledge of his Catholic Majesty. In reality, if the said proclamation had appeared here in an entire state, no doubt could have taken place as to the source of this proceeding: But the operative part thereof alone has circulated thro' the United States, the preamble introducing it, having been, probably without design, omitted."
"I have therefore the honor to communicate herewith an entire and correct copy of the aforesaid proclamation; and by the expressions which I have underlined, it will be clearly seen that the arrangement is absolutely personal, and has originated in the faculties which the Intendant supposed to be incident to his station. This assertion is not founded merely on the obvious inference from those expressions: The intendant himself declares it to me in the most direct terms in a letter of January 15th, which I have just received from him; and the Governor of the Province confirms the same thing with the same solemnity in another letter of the same date. Neither the one, nor the other dispute the right of the citizens of the Western States to a place of deposit on the Spanish banks of the Mississippi: But the Intendant thinks, that the term of three years allowed for the purpose at New Orleans, having expired, and much prejudice to the royal interests being experienced from its continuance in that City, it was incumbent on him to suspend the deposit there, without venturing to take on himself, the assignment of another equivalent place; not because he doubted the right of the inhabitants of the United States thereto; but because it appeared to him to be an act exceeding his authority, and which he ought to leave to the royal determination of our Sovereign. The Governor of Louisiana saw the subject under a point of view more correct in my judgement, and more favorable to the inhabitants of the United States."
"From the whole it results that the suspension of the deposit not being an act of my court, and no person even disputing the right of the American Citizens in the case, I shall now take upon myself to adopt measures which must ensure to the United States, the enjoyment of all the rights stipulated in the 22d article of the Treaty, on the arrival at New Orleans of the dispatches which will be forwarded under this date."
"We have great satisfaction in presenting to the public the official communication of the Spanish minister to the Secretary of State: as it completely demonstrates the important fact on which our government proceeded, that the irregular acts at New Orleans were those solely of the Intendant, unauthorized by his court. The unequivocal declaration of the minister that the Spanish government has no participation in those acts: and his now taking upon himself, in consequence of this official acknowledgment of the Intendant himself, to adopt such measures as shall insure to us the enjoyment of all the rights stipulated in the 22d Article of the Treaty, on the arrival at New Orleans of dispatches already forwarded, while they justify a reliance that our rights on the Mississippi will soon be restored, furnish the highest proof, at this time attainable of the disposition of the government of Spain faithfully to observe its engagements."
"Under these assurances, we need only add, that there is every reason to believe that the measures taken by the minister are such as will be commensurate to the object, and such as involve the use of means too decisive to be ineffective."
"The proclamation of the Intendant, from the official inference of its true construction made by the Spanish minister, becoming an important document, shall be as early translated as its length will permit."
"From the preceding facts, it will appear that the arguments, made use of in the late debates in the Senate, for involving the country in war, were entirely without foundation."
"Those arguments, and the measures to which they would have led, were predicated on the idea, that the conduct of the Intendant was authorized and directed by the government of Spain. Whereas the reverse now conclusively appears; and that, so far from being authorized, it is pointedly disavowed."
"We rejoice that other arguments prevailed, and that the peace and prosperity of millions have not been hazarded by rash and precipitate measures."
National Intell. The United States frigate Constellation, has arrived at Washington city, in 40 days from Gibraltar.
NEW-YORK, March 19. Extract of a letter from a Merchant at Cape-Francois to his Correspondent in this City, dated March 3d, received via Baltimore.
"On the 10th ult. the Blacks proceeded in four columns to attack the Cape. One of them took possession of the Hospital and Fort Belair; the second of the Gate Bouteille; and the third and fourth, who came down by the Plantation D'Estang and the Fort Bourgeois, were to assail Haut-de-Cap and the posts that lay on the north side of the city: But acting without concert, the two first columns (which were waiting for the other to commence the attack) were defeated before the arrival of the third and fourth. Having no way to retreat, because Haut-de-Cap was untouched, they were ultimately obliged to fly by the top of the mountain, whither they were closely pursued as far as the rocks and precipices permitted our troops to go. Their loss on this occasion cannot be estimated, because the greater part have carried their death blow along with them. 150 dead bodies have been found on the field of action, and on the paths through which the fugitives retreated. Amongst the prisoners (who were immediately shot!) were five officers, four of whom were hanged in the market-place; the fifth has not yet undergone the fate of his companions, because he expressed a willingness to make some important discoveries respecting a number of the friends of the blacks in the city, who are daily arrested, and dealt with according to their merits."
"Tortuda has experienced another crisis, occasioned by a gang of invaders, who succeeded in crossing the channel. They were joined by the negroes of Labatut and some others, and have done much mischief. Troops have been sent against them. Mr. Labatut and his wife are said to be detained in the woods by these brigands."
"Several paries have been held lately between the Government and a number of negroes in the country who profess against the conduct of Christophe, Clerveaux, &c. live peaceably on their respective plantations, and solicit the protection of the whites. Without relying on these professions, the General takes the advantage of them by gaining time until he is able to take the field, which will shortly be the case, as the reinforcements from France begin to arrive. We expect soon to see better times."
HARTFORD, March 17. A REPUBLICAN FESTIVAL, In honor of the election of President JEFFERSON, was celebrated at New-Haven, pursuant to previous arrangement.
The morning was saluted by discharges of artillery from the public square and from the neighbouring rocks.
The concourse of people was beyond all expectation, and the procession consisted, at the time of reaching the Meeting-House, of One Thousand One Hundred and Eight Persons.
The exercises were opened and closed with very pertinent prayers by the Rev. Mr. Cowles and the Rev. Mr. Austin. The republican Proclamation was read by Rufuswell Judson, Esq. Mr. Jefferson's inaugural Speech by Ephraim Kirby, Esq. The principal performance was an Oration by Pierpont Edwards, Esq. which in point of argument and eloquence equalled the expectations of the audience; to have exceeded them was impracticable. The vocal and instrumental music was highly approved.
On the audience leaving the house the return procession was saluted by a discharge of 17 guns.
After dinner were drank under a discharge of artillery the following toasts.—In the evening was a splendid exhibition of fireworks under direction of Mr. William Hall. A full conception of this Festival can rest only with those who witnessed it.

NEWPORT, Saturday, March 26, 1803.
"How nearly is human cunning allied to folly! The animals to whom nature has given the faculty called cunning, know always when to use it, and use it wisely; but when man descends to cunning, he blunders and betrays. PAINE."
We transcribe the following from the last Newport Mercury, considering it a rare curiosity in the editorial department, and in the annals of federalism. It is certainly the brightest tint which we remember to have seen from the Mercury office, and reflects the highest honor upon the redoubled diligence, and augmented vigilance of its beautiful, and dutiful incumbent:
COMMUNICATION.
"Among the numerous instances which have been noticed in the Newport Mercury, of the insolence and impudence of the Jacobins, I do not recollect that any mention has been made of the spies or scouts that they keep in constant pay and exercise.—There are five or six of these pests who have no employ, but to thrust themselves into the society of Federalists, listen to their conversation—and report to the great junta, who pervert the sense and distort the meaning, before they circulate the report received from their runner.—No society, however select, is secure from these interlopers—but it is to be wished that in future, they may be treated with the marked contempt they merit—unless an alteration in their conduct is effected, by a perusal of these bits."
Mark the modesty of the thing. It would defy human apprehension to divine the object with which it was composed, was it not for one or two circumstances, which are not generally known. These shall be mentioned in order, that the "communication" may have a fair and liberal construction, and that the editor of the Mercury may have the full credit of his blooming honors, and all his pre-eminent qualifications. It is a fact, that this pretty little tallow-cup, crown-coloured gentleman has lately been in the habit of dining with the royal family three times a week. Agreeably, therefore, to the ordinary specimens of his disposition, it is natural for him to feel as a butcher's dog would feel, having a hock of beef thrown to him under the stall, growling at every foot which passed his sumptuous sanctuary, left his carnivorous enjoyment might be disturbed. But there is another circumstance by which the phenomena of this Mercurial "communication" may be explained. It is a fact too, that there was a federal caucus held at the "OLD PLACE," on the evening of Monday last. It has not transpired that the brethren took any alarm during their sitting; but it is evident from the "communication," that they begin to doubt, distrust, & suspect some of their own fraternity.—It was therefore very judiciously thrown out to feel their lips, upon the horrid and majestic penalty of being denounced as a Jacobin. Such a denunciation, from such a man as the editor of the Mercury, must no doubt have a very majestic and commanding effect! The silence of the grave is imposed upon all doubtful and ambiguous members, who had the crushing honor conferred upon them of being invited to the Counting-House.—"Ben." stands high, amid the "select society," with dignified and majestic port, holding in one hand a glass of royal wine, and in the other the trump of denunciation! "The fur of federalism rife!" (the son of federalism) "in his broad Cardinal hat."
VERMONT ELECTION.
JAMES ELLIOT, Esq. of Brattleborough, Vermont (an undeviating Republican) is Elected Member of Congress for the District lately represented by Gen. MORRIS, by a majority of four or five hundred votes.—This is one of the most astonishing revolutions in political sentiment, which has ever been known in our country.
The steady and confident efforts of the Republicans in the state of Vermont, notwithstanding the plausible and mild speeches of their Federal GOVERNOR, has completely secured for the next Congress 2 Republican Senators and 3 (out of 4) Republican Members to the House of Representatives. This is a proud triumph not only to themselves, but to the constant Republicans universally.
THOMAS PAINE is said to be on the confines of this State, and that he is soon to pass through it, on his way to Boston. Federalist, your religion is in danger; there is ground for your apprehension. Should Mr.
Paine pass thro' the State ever so rapidly, he will leave many of you without one particle of real religion. [Connecticut Mercury.]
"Tell me your company," says the proverb. The renowned Sancho, Mr. L. R. Morris, has followed the example of his friend Rutledge, and declines standing a candidate for a seat in congress—it appears he waited to see how the public pulse beat with regard to his expedition to Piscataway, and the determination to decline speaks favorably of the uprightness of the citizens of Vermont.
The forged Letters of "Geffroy" are still before the public. The most complete evidence that the case admits from circumstances, will not keep the friends of the unhappy author silent. But the belief of his innocence cannot be imposed upon the world. Salem Reg.
By the following letter we possess the IMPORTANT fact that the Dey of Algiers has declared war against France. Nat. Intell.
Malaga, 1st February, 1803.
SIR, I profit of two vessels on the departure for Philadelphia and Salem, to acquaint you that the French commercial agent in this place, has just received advice, that the Dey of Algiers had declared war against France.—This intelligence is transmitted to him by his colleague in Barcelona, where a vessel had arrived with the news, and dispatches for the French government, which were immediately sent on by express.—I hasten to communicate to you this important information, and am with much respect and regard,
Sir, Your obedient humble servant, WILLIAM KIRKPATRICK.
MORE INTERESTING NEWS!
From a Frankfort (K) paper of the 3d inst.
Louisiana.—The following very important information was obligingly handed us this morning by the Hon. John Brown, who arrived from Washington city on Tuesday evening. Two days before he left the seat of government (which was on the 14th ult.) dispatches had been received from Mr. Livingston, our ambassador at Paris, in which it is stated that in consequence of a diplomatic note presented to him on the subject of the late irregular proceeding at New Orleans, he received assurances, from the French minister of foreign affairs, that France would respect the rights of America—that she had received Louisiana from Spain, subject to such stipulations as are contained in our treaties, with that power—and that she wished to cultivate, with the Americans, a spirit of harmony and good will. The French minister further assured Mr. Livingston, that as soon as the first consul arrived (who was expected at Paris the next day) an official note containing these sentiments, should be delivered to him to forward to his government.
No doubt can be entertained of the authenticity of this intelligence, as Mr. Brown received it from the President himself, and has authorized us to make it public. Mr. Jefferson further observed, that although the re-establishment of things on their former footing was all we had a right to demand—experience has shown it would not be sufficient to ensure the protection of the western commerce, or to restore confidence to the minds of our citizens—the government would therefore make every exertion in its power to obtain one entire side of the Mississippi.
DIED—On the 15th inst. in the 83d year of her age, Mrs. ABIGAIL GREEN, the amiable consort of Mr. Joseph Greene of Jamestown. She was beloved and respected while living, and died universally regretted.

A FAREWELL. ONCE more, enchanting girl, adieu: I must be gone while yet I may; Oh! shall I weep to think of you— But here I will not, cannot stay!

Yet give me, give me ere I go, One little look of those so blest, That lend your cheek a warmer glow, And on your white neck-love to rest! Say when, to kindle for delight, That hand has chanced with mine to meet, How could its thrilling touch excite A sigh so short, and yet so sweet! Oh, say—but, no, it must not be, Adieu—enchanting girl, adieu! Yet still methinks you frown on me— Oh! never could I fly from you! Once more, enchanting girl, adieu! I must be gone while yet I may; Oh! shall I weep to think of you; But here I will not, cannot stay!

For sale by JACOB RICHARDSON and WILLIAM R. WILDER, DABOLL'S SCHOOLMASTER'S ASSISTANT. Being a plain practical system of Arithmetic. THIRD EDITION—By NATHAN DABOLL. RECOMMENDATIONS. Yale College, Nov. 27, 1799.
The arrangement of the different branches of Arithmetic is judicious and perspicuous. The author has well explained Decimal Arithmetic, and has applied it in a plain and elegant man- ner to the solution of various questions, and es- pecially to those relative to the Federal commu- tation of money. I think it will be a very use- ful book to Schoolmasters and their pupils. JOSIAH MEIGS, Professor of Mathematics & Natural Philosophy. I have given some attention to the work abovementioned, and concur with Professor Meigs in his opinion of its merit. NOAH WEBSTER. New-Haven, Dec. 12, 1799.
Rhode Island College, Nov. 30, 1799. I have run through Mr. Daboll's Schoolmas- ter's Assistant, and have formed of it a very fa- vorable opinion. According to its original de- sign, I think it will "be calculated to furnish schools in general with a methodical, easy and comprehensive system of Practical Arithmetic." I therefore hope it may find a generous patro- nage, and have an extensive spread. ASA MESSER, Professor of the Learned Languages, and Teacher of Mathematics. Plainfield Academy, April 20, 1802.
I make use of Daboll's Schoolmaster's As- sistant in teaching common Arithmetic, and think it is the best calculated for that purpose of any which has fallen within my observation. J. ADAMS, Rector of Plainfield Academy. Hudson, Aug. 21, 1802.
I have perused Daboll's Arithmetic, and find it, in my opinion, far preferable to any system I am acquainted with. It is an improve- ment on Dilworth, as Dilworth's Schoolmaster's Assistant is calculated merely to assist the School- master; but Daboll's will equally answer this purpose, and assist the scholar to teach himself besides. Nothing I have seen to fully meet my ideas, and I give it my decided preference and recommendation. THOMAS WORTH, Teacher of Mathematics. Three large editions of this celebrated Arithmetic have been published in less than three years. It is in general use in the States of Con- necticut and Rhode-Island, and introduced in many schools in the State of New-York. In the third edition improvements are made upon the 1st and 2d editions.
