Agreeably to our promise in the last Gazette, we now exhibit to our readers the commencement of an impartial and candid View of the proceedings of the last Session of Congress, in order that they may more easily connect the doings of that Session, with those of the Session that will commence on Monday next; and under a deep conviction of the truth and justice of the following statement, can with con- fidence recommend it to the perusal of our readers.
A VIEW
Of the PROCEEDINGS of the LAST SESSION OF CONGRESS.
(From the National Intelligencer.)
To the People of the United States.
IT is the right and the duty of the citizens of a free state to acquire and communi- cate a correct knowledge of all the proceed- ings of its government, and as far as pos- sible, of the principles which produced its various acts.
Whenever a portion of the people are induced by the representations of influential persons to deny their confidence to the con- stituted authorities, it is peculiarly necessary, for the friends of the government, on its part, to give publicity to its principles and measures, and for the people on their part, to become acquainted with the nature, de- sign, extent and operation of the measures; that they may be enabled to judge from the system and measures themselves, not from ill-natured and bitter inuendoes, what is the true character of the administration.
The people at the last national election, reposed their confidence in, and elevated to office, men whose political principles are materially different from the principles of those gentlemen who composed the last ad- ministration.
Government is instituted to secure and in- crease the happiness of the persons govern- ed. It is the right and property of the pub- lic—not of its administrators. Therefore whenever the public withhold their confi- dence from one man and reposes it in another, it becomes the duty of every man, as it will be the practice of every good citizen to yield the same ready obedience to the laws and ordinances of the existing authori- ties, as heretofore, while the persons in ad- ministration were the men of his choice.
The decided majority which appeared in Congress during the last session, proves clear- ly a greater unity of sentiment, views and opinions, than has existed at any other pe- riod for the last ten years.
Although the federal government, and thirteen out of sixteen of the state govern- ments, are united in a system of measures which they believe best calculated to pro- mote public prosperity, and national hap- piness; still a difference of opinion and of political views and principles exists. This difference produces an opposition to gov- ernment headed by disappointed partisans, and supported by persons well intentioned, but misinformed. An opposition which attempts to distort the councils of the na- tion, and pally the efforts of administration, which circulates with incredible industry the most unfounded calumnies and falsehoods, which while in power, heretofore secured itself from lober investigation, by assuming as a fact charged, the inference or opinion of another, and inflicting severe punish- ments for the pretended crime of sedition. —Which enhances the public expenditures by retarding the progress and operations of government, and protracts the session of Congress, by presenting every obstacle in its power with a view to render the govern- ment odious to the people. An administra- tion which labors to substitute order for confusion, economy for lavish expenditures and the mild reign of principle for the in- tolerance of despotism—courts investigation and despises calumny.—It does not fear, but admires the plain language of truth. It never will entrench itself behind the pal- ings of a sedition act. Conscious that it supports the just principles of our govern- ment, and moves within its constitutional orbit, it believes that its views and measures when fairly understood will be applauded.
To remove all jealousies from the minds of the uninformed, and to furnish the pub- lic, with a just knowledge of the present im- proved state of the nation, the following view of the proceedings of the first session of the seventh Congress, with such execu- tive acts as are naturally connected with the subjects and the remarks thereon, is submit- ted to the public.
The session of Congress commenced on the 7th of December; on the 8th the Pres- ident's message was delivered to both house- es.
By this message after giving a general view of the state of our foreign relations and the prosperity of the nation, he recom- mended:
 A reduction of our expenditures in the civil department, and  In the army and navy departments:  And particularly to abolish useless offi- ces; an operation which he had commenced where the existence of the office depended on executive discretion.  A repeal of the internal taxes—compre- hending,  The excise on domestic distilled spirits,  The stamp tax,  The tax on sales at auction,  —on licences to retail,  —on carriages,  —on domestic refined sugars, and  The postage of newspapers. 
A careful attention to the interest of
Agriculture, Manufactures, Commerce, Navigation, and especially of the car- rying trade.
A revision of the laws on the subject of
naturalization. A revision of the judiciary system, with a peculiar reference to the late judiciary act, passed on the 13th day of February, 1801; and provision for an impartial selection of jurors.
The man who devotes his talents and at-
tention, To a reduction of public expenditures, To the abolition of useless offices, To the diminution of public burdens, To aid, encourage and promote, agricul- ture, manufactures, commerce and naviga- tion,
To preserve a due administration of jus- tice at a reasonable expense, and to pro- vide for an impartial selection of jurors, richly merits the confidence of the nation.
Among the nations of the earth, it was reserved for America to exhibit to the world a government devoted to the interest of the people—A government which instead of in- creasing public burdens, removed many of those heretofore imposed—which instead of enlarging the powers already enjoyed—re- stores to the people those not essential to their security. At the head of which pres- ides a man, who for the promotion of the public good and the preservation of civil liberty, sacrifices the limitation of his own powers, the reduction of his own privi- leges, and the exercise of every constitutional check to limit the executive will.
The two houses of congress united with the executive in the great works of reform and improvement.
They have reduced the army to little more than 3000 men, who are considered sufficient to take charge of, and to keep in repair the various forts of the United States, and thereby have made an annual saving to the nation of 522,000 dollars.
They have reduced a part of the navy est- ablishment, yet retained in service a suf- ficient force to humble the Barbary pirates. By this reduction they have lessened the public expenditures 200,000 dollars annually.
Proceeding on the principle of giving ef- ficient support to the national credit, and of maintaining the national faith and honor in- violate, they have carefully compared the amount of every demand against government; the terms of payment stipulated—and the current expenditures as reduced, with the annual revenue. They have found the an- nual revenue exclusive of the internal taxes exceeds the wants of the nation—they have therefore repealed all the internal taxes.
As the repeal of these taxes has been at- tributed to a design to promote the interests of one section of the union, at the expense of another—a few moments may be well employed in considering this subject.
Excise is a tax always odious to a free people, from the extent of power which is necessarily given to enforce an obedience to the law. "It seems hardly compatible with the temper of a free nation." It was so abhorrent to the feelings of the people of England, that the house of commons once voted to bring to condign punishment cer- tain persons who charged them with a de- sign to introduce it.—It was, however after- wards introduced into that nation, first levi- ed on a few articles, from time to time ex- tended to others, as the people were found to submit to the imposition, until at last it embraced almost every article of convenience and many of necessity.
So here it commenced with a duty on distilled spirits; but in the course of four years was extended to the ordinary sales, for consumption, of all spirits, brandies and wines; to all sales at auction; to all car- riages for the conveyance of persons, and all refiners of sugar. Had it been continued and the same system of policy pursued, in a few more years, as in England, the paper for our school books, the dyes for our cloth- ing, the lights for our rooms, the beer for our tables and the shoes for our feet would have been laid under contribution. As it respects its effects on domestic distilled spir- its, it operates, in the first instance, upon two descriptions of persons.
1st. The people who have emigrated from the old settlements into the interior, who encounter all the evils and hardships of op- ening the wilderness, are deprived of the convenience of market towns, or markets, and who are incapable of supplying them- selves from a foreign market, or vending their surplus grains. With them a circu- lating medium is scarcely known; their ne- cessities force them to resort to the process of distillation to prevent the loss of their sur- plus crops, and furnish a comfortable be- verage.
These emigrants are highly useful to the nation: they form a barrier against the sav- ages; they extend the sphere of action; their emigration prevents a too dense popu- lation, which increases the comfort of those left behind. To levy this tax on them is unjust and cruel. They require the fostering hand of a parent, not the grasping hand of a tyrant or tax gatherer.
The middle and eastern states have uni- formly cherished and aided infant settle- ments, by freeing them wholly from tax- ation for a considerable time. The wisdom and policy of the measure have never been doubted.
2d. Persons principally residing in our large towns who enter upon the business of distillation for the purpose of acquiring pro- perty. The spirits with which they furnish the market, are derived either from molass-

for imported, or from grain, cyder, and the like, purchased of our farmers. So far as they are derived from the distillation of molasses, the government derives a revenue from the article, by a duty on its importation. So far as the spirits are derived from articles produced in the country; the excise reduces the price of the article, and throws the tax upon the farming interest. When the distiller pays government ten cents the gallon on the spirits he distills, he will deduct that ten cents from the price he pays for the portion of grain or liquor it requires to produce the spirit. By removing the excise on distilled spirits, government does the most efficient act in its power, to furnish the farmer with a reasonable market.
The demand of bread in Europe has of late years enabled the farmer to sell his produce at a high price, but let peace once visit that part of the globe he will find an increased proportion of the monied capital applied to distillation, and by that the price of the various kinds of grain will be principally regulated.
The charge that it favors Virginia and the other agricultural states, to the injury of Massachusetts and other states, is not true; the report of the Secretary of the Treasury lately published, evinces the falsehood of the allegation.
Indeed when the excise on distilled spirits was laid, it was considered as particularly injurious to the interest of Massachusetts. Mr. Dalton and Governor Strong both voted against the bill. This appears by the journals of the Senate.
Congress were induced to repeal these taxes, from the following considerations.
That the remaining revenues of government were equal to its necessities; that it would be an equal and great relief to the people, not only as it enabled them to apply the amount of the monies, say 900,000 dollars, yearly to their private use; but as it would free them from the loss of time and expense, which was necessarily required in travelling to and from the various offices to furnish themselves with licences and stamp paper, and to make their payments. The difference in the consumption of the citizen's time and money in the collection of the external and internal revenue is immense. The first is limited to a very few commercial points where the merchants and officers reside. The latter extends to every portion of the union. It operates more or less in every town, village and settlement. The system itself creates an embarrassment on business; not unfrequently the expense of procuring the licence on paper is equal to the whole revenue derived from it.
That the expense of supporting the various officers employed in collecting it, consumes more than twenty dollars out of every hundred dollars collected, and amounts to 180,000 dollars yearly, every cent of which is saved to the people by abolishing the system. While the duties on imported articles do not require an expense of more than five dollars on a hundred dollars paid.
That the system, by creating a vast number of offices, had a tendency to increase the power and patronage of the executive so far, that it might become, if it had not already been, dangerous to the liberties of the country.
That experience had shown governments became extravagant and expensive in proportion to the means they possessed. It was therefore both just and politic to surrender and yield up to the people that portion of revenue which was not necessary to the government. That this surrender ought to consist of those taxes which were most obnoxious; which most embarrassed the ordinary pursuits of the people, and which were of political aspect the most suspicious; and that the history of the nations who have gone before us evinces this truth. That a system of excise when once established, is usually extended from article to article, until it is applied to all the comforts and conveniences of life, and most of its necessities, when it sinks the body of the nation into wretchedness and poverty. Considering the condition of the persons upon whom the carriage tax operated, it appeared in some measure desirable to continue that tax; but when it was considered that it produced only 77,871 dollars and 41 cents, that it could not be continued without employing a vast corps of officers at an expense equal, or nearly equal, to the tax, thereby preserving the seeds of another general excise system, the policy of the government forbade its continuance. It has been said by opposition, that the repeal of these taxes only operated to relieve the more wealthy; leaving the poor under the whole pressure of all their former burthens. That if the finances of the nation admitted of a reduction, the duty on salt, bohea tea, and brown sugar ought to be diminished. Yet they and their friends were the persons who levied the duties on these articles two years before they levied any excise. They have from time to time increased the duties on the same articles. The first duty on salt was 6 cents per bushel; they increased it to 12 cents; once it was 10 cents per pound, they increased it to 12 cents. It was one cent per pound; on sugar, they increased it to two. These duties they made perpetual, that is to say, to continue until a majority of both houses of Congress and the President, or two thirds of both houses agree to remove them.
To be continued.
The Boston Continel says there was no Irish in the revolutionary army, and scarcely any other foreigners, before the capture of Burgoyne—and the same paragraph quotes the names of Lee, Gates, (who captured Burgoyne) and Montgomery who died in the breach of Quebec, two years before Burgoyne joined the army at the head of which Gates took him prisoner.—We consider it not as a matter entitling the Irish born citizens of that day to superior praise, but it is certain that they felt an equal ardor and displayed an equal valor in the assertion of American Independence. We thought we could find even in Philadelphia Irishmen who penetrated through the wilderness and lived on dog's flesh with Arnold on the march to Quebec—we have counted the wounds of Irishmen who fought under the American banner at Bunker's Hill;—we have spoken to Irishmen who did not seem insensible to the glory they acquired at Stony Point but the enemies of American liberty do not converse with such men; and on that ground their ignorance is not wonderful.
From the National Intelligencer. THOMAS PAINE, To the Citizens of the United States.
LETTER THE FIRST.
AFTER an absence of almost fifteen years, I am again returned to the country in whole dangers I bore my share, and to whole greatness I contributed my part.
When I failed for Europe in the spring of 1787, it was my intention to return to America the next year, and enjoy in retirement the effect of my friends and the repose I was entitled to. I had stood out the storm of one revolution, and had no wish to embark in another. But other scenes and other circumstances than those of contemplation were allotted me. The French revolution was beginning to germinate when I arrived in France. The principles of it were good, they were copied from America, and the men who conducted it were honest. But the fury of faction soon extinguished the one, and sent the other to the scaffold. Of those who began that revolution, I am almost the only survivor, and that through a thousand dangers. I owe this not to the prayers of priests, nor the piety of hypocrites, but to the continued protection of Providence.
But while I beheld with pleasure the dawn of liberty rising in Europe, I saw, with regret, the lustre of it fading in America. In less than two years from the time of my departure, some distant symptoms painfully suggested the idea that the principles of the revolution were expiring on the soil that produced them. I received at that time a letter from a female literary correspondent, and in my answer to her, I expressed my fears on that head, in the following pensive soliloquy:
"You touch me on a very tender point when you say, that my friends on your side the water, cannot be reconciled to the idea of my abandoning America, even for my native England. They are right, I had rather see my horse Button eating the grass of Bordetown or Morristown, than all the pomp and show of Europe."
"A thousand years hence, for I must indulge a few thoughts, perhaps in less, America may be what Europe now is.—The innocence of her character that won the hearts of all nations in her favor, may found like a romance, and her immaculate virtue as if it had never been. The ruins of that liberty for which thousands bled, may just furnish materials for a village tale, or extort a sigh from rustic sensibility; whilst the fashionable of that day enveloped in dissipation shall deride the principles and deny the fact."
"When we contemplate the fall of empires, and the extinction of the nations of the ancient world, we see but little more to excite our regret, than the mouldering ruins of pompous palaces, magnificent monuments, lofty pyramids, and walls and towers of the most costly workmanship; but when the empire of America shall fall, the subject for contemplative sorrow will be infinitely greater than crumbling brass or marble can inspire. It will not then be said, here stood a temple of vast antiquity, here rose a Babel of invisible height, or there a palace of sumptuous extravagance; but here! a painful thought! the noblest work of human wisdom—the grandest scene of human glory, the fair cause of freedom ROSE and FELL! Read this and then ask if I forget America."
I now know from the information I obtain upon the spot, that the impressions that then distressed me, for I was proud of America, were but too well founded.—She was turning her back on her own glory, and making hasty strides in the retrograde path of oblivion. But a spark from the altar of SEVENTY SIX unextinguished and unextinguishable through long night of error, is again lighting up in every part of the union, the genuine flame of rational liberty.
As the French revolution advanced, it fixed the attention of the world, and drew from the pen of Edmund Burke a furious attack. This brought me more on the public theatre of politics, and occasioned the pamphlet RIGHTS OF MAN. It had the greatest run of any work ever published in the English language.—The number of copies circulated in England, Scotland, and Ireland, besides translations into foreign languages, were between four and five hundred thousand. The principles of that work were the same as those in COMMON SENSE, and the effects would have been the same in England as that had been in America, could the vote of the nation have been quietly taken, or had equal opportunities of confuting or acting excited. The only difference between the two works was, that the one was adapted to the local circumstances of England, and the other to those of America. As to myself, I acted in both cases alike; I relinquished to the people of England as I had done to those of America, all profits from the work. My reward existed in the ambition to do good, and in the independent happiness of my own mind.
But a faction acting in disguise was rising in America, that had lost sight of first principles. They were beginning to contemplate government as a profitable monopoly, and the people as hereditary property. It is therefore no wonder that the Rights of Man was attacked by that faction, and its author continually abused. But let them go on, give them rope enough and they will put an end to their own insignificance. There is too much common sense and independence in America to be long the dupe of any faction foreign or domestic.
But, in the midst of the freedom we enjoy, the licentiousness of the papers called federal; (and I know not why they are called so, for they are in their principles anti-federal and despotic,) is a dishonor to the character of the country, and an injury to its reputation abroad. They represent the whole people of America as destitute of public principle and private manners. As to any injury they can do at home to those whom they abuse, or service they can render to those who employ them, it is to be set down to the account of noisy nothingness. It is on themselves the disgrace recoils, for the reflection easily presents itself to every thinking mind, that those who abuse liberty when they possess it, would abuse power could they obtain it; and therefore they may as well take as a general motto for all such
PAPERS, WE AND OUR PATRONS, ARE NOT FIT TO BE TRUSTED WITH POWER.
There is in America, more than in any other country, a large body of people, who attend quietly to their farms, or follow their several occupations, who pay no regard to the clamours of anonymous scribblers, who think for themselves and judge of government, not by the fury of newspaper writers, but by the prudent frugality of its measures, and the encouragement it gives to the improvement and prosperity of the country, and who, acting on their own judgment, never come forward in an election but on some important occasion.
When this body moves, all the little barkings of scribbling and witless curs pass for nothing. To say to this independent description of men, you must turn out such or such persons at the next election, for they have taken off a great many taxes, and lessened the expense of government, they have dismissed my son, or my brother, or myself, from a lucrative office, in which there was nothing to do, is to throw the cloven foot of faction, and preach the language of ill disguised mortification. In every part of the Union this faction is in the agonies of death, and in proportion as its fate approaches, gnashes its teeth and struggles. My arrival has struck it, as with an hydrophobia, it is like the sight of water to canine madness.
As this letter is intended to announce my arrival to my friends, and to my enemies, if I have any, for I ought to have none in America, and as introductory to others that will occasionally follow; I shall close it by detailing the line of conduct I shall pursue.
I have no occasion to seek, and do not intend to accept any place or office in the government. There is none it could give me, that would be any ways equal to the position I could make as an author, for I have an established fame in the literary world, could I reconcile it to my principles to make money by my politics or religion. I must be in every thing what I have ever been, a disinterested volunteer; my proper share of action is on the common floor of citizenship and to honest men I give my hand and my heart freely.
I have some manuscript works to publish, of which I shall give proper notice, and some mechanical affairs to bring forward, that will employ all my leisure time. I shall continue these letters as I see occasion, and as to the low party prints that abuse to abuse me, they are welcome, I shall not answer them. I have been too much used to such common stuff to take any notice of it. The government of England honoured me with a thousand martyrs, by burning me in effigy in every town in that country, and their hirelings in America may do the same.
THOMAS PAINE. City of Washington, Nov. 18, 1802.
Out of their own mouths are they condemned.
THE anti-republicans are continually harping on the intolerance of the present administration, for removing a few of its enemies, and appointing republicans in their stead; but federal inconsistency has now become proverbial. It was notorious that the Adams administration was exclusively partial, and that its avowed principle was to exclude from public offices all those who were of a different opinion from the executive.—Mr. Sitgreaves, a federal member in Congress said, "That whenever the administration of government had deviated from a rule of this kind, they had done so to their sorrow and to their loss, and the experiences of government in this respect had produced a sad and awful lesson which would doubtless have its effect in future; and where was the crime, the offence, or the impropriety of the conduct ascribed to the executive? Would gentlemen say that the President ought to appoint persons to office who possessed an opinion contrary to his own? would it be prudent or right, to admit to a participation in the executive of the important duties of government, persons whose sentiments were not in unison with the executive, and who could only create discord and confusion, where nothing but harmony ought to prevail? if the executive acted upon just principles, it would endeavor to give singleness of design to its operations and it could only do this by admitting persons into the government who thought with it. Where this has been deviated from (Mr. Sitgreaves further observed) government had received an awful lesson for its future conduct."
Read Republicans, over and over again the above federal logic. Mark the inconsistency between men in power and out of power, false for Goose with them, is not false for Gander. Recollect that this Mr. Sitgreaves received an office from Mr. Adams, with the emolument of near FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR. When the anti-republicans are running you with the abuse of Mr. Jefferson, you have only to contrast his moderation with the violence of his enemies."

From whence did the money in the Treasury arise? From the revenue as it now exists or from those branches which have been taken off by the present administration? Let the expenses of the internal Taxes and the amount of them be properly considered and compared, and the reduction of the public expenses, and then let a person judge fairly of the present measures. Salem Reg.
The whole Representation of Pennsylvania in the next Congress will be favorable to the present administration. But there is a new kind of evidence been produced that this representation does not express the true sense of that State, because at a late vendue a picture of Washington sold higher in Philadelphia than one of Jefferson—and some bucks made sport of the sale. ib.
Extract from a Pamphlet entitled "Recent Proofs of a Defection from the CHRISTIAN RELIGION.—No. II."
"THESE have become general, especially at the close of feasts. They are prayers or desires unanimously expressed, for the health and happiness of their favourites, the success of their party, the propagation of their own policies! and sometimes imprecations upon opponents. These are uttered with considerable ceremony at the pouring out and partaking of the wine: And are published for the instruction of the common people."—That these rites are borrowed from the old heathen as is evident as it is that we read of no toasts in the Testament. They are now freely called by the old heathenish name of libations; a word which signifies sacrifices, the raking, or the pouring out wine in honor of some god. The religious Palladium, speaking of some of these toasts, calls them "suitable libations." Thus with the rites, the very language of the old heathen is adopted.
The profaneness of the prayers often corresponds, as might be expected. Sometimes they are gross abuse of rulers, sometimes railing at fellow creatures and fellow citizens, who are represented as brutes; and sometimes profane allusions to scripture. At a late high annual festival, the clergy were toasted as the Agis , or the shield of Jupiter and his daughter, the feigned brain-born Pallas—a very pagan shield! And the prayer for them was, that they might "continue to treat philosophers with opprobrium and disrespect." This might be thus paraphrased; the scripture says "honor all men," but we say, may the clergy continue in opprobrium of this, to despise certain men, whom they and we dislike. This was however intended as a compliment to the clergy, and a hot shot against infidels. Yet another of the libations is in honor of the memory of Franklin, a well known infidel, who made no secret of his principles. The zeal against infidels thus appears tempered by policy. It is such infidels as they dislike, who are to be treated with opprobrium and contempt. One who pleases them, may be honored as a god. For so they honored the unbelieving philosopher, Benjamin Franklin; calling him the able conductor of the artillery of the lies . What more could they have done, unless instead of praying about him, they had prayed to him as a thunderer. This is shocking; yet we have heard of no one, cleric or lay, present or absent, who has entered any protest or dissent.—Another toast expressed the restoration of religion to the French, apparently with satisfaction, and concluded with a profane jest, alluding to the tenth commandment of that fiery law, once given in awful God-like majesty.
Since these, more and like things are published and gloried in. At another feast the clergy are toasted as the supporters of government, and the rulers, the chief officers of government are reproached. If the order they no disapprobation, it may be thought they are pleased with the compliment of being supporters of government, and supported themselves by all honest men. And that they are reconciled to keep down and suppress any little disturbances that might arise in their minds at reading the monstrous profanation of the word of GOD, and the setting up of new gods and goddesses in the long made for, & sung on the occasion. In this long liberty is set up as a goddess in the chorus, and the guardian gods of America are intreated to launch thunder bolts. It is not easy to say, how many gods religious people now believe in.—But even this is not all. Washington is set up in this long, as though he were the king of glory. And the appropriate honors of the Son of GOD are applied to him! And with this is joined the most open and gross reproaching and reviling of the powers that be, which are ordained of GOD. And yet this long suited at once to excite indignation; piety and fear, has been sung, published and re-published with approbation. Such is the delusion of the complacent and of those who have made it their own, and hurt him and themselves by their approbation and unkind applause! These are some of the ways of a flat religion, which raises itself aloft in zeal, as though there was scarcely any prevailing sin but infidelity, and the toleration of it; which toleration a piece lately published makes to be the crying sin of the land. But the divine wrath, according to the word of GOD, is peculiarly pointed against Anarchists, who blaspheme GOD's name and his tabernacle.—And the words to apostate Israel, if regarded aright, might well excite fear—"Shall I not visit for these things; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
*One of the papers, that has an extensive circulation, speaking lately of toasts has this expression—"They hoped and prayed in their late toasts, &c."—So that we see they are considered as prayers.
†There is an honesty in the character of this Philosopher. He did not pretend to believe, when he did not.
Extract from JEFFERSON'S Notes on Virginia.
"It should be our endeavor to cultivate the peace and friendship of every nation, even of that which has injured us most, when we shall have carried our point against her. Our interest will be to throw open the doors of commerce, and to knock off all its shackles, giving perfect freedom to all persons for the vent of whatever they may choose to bring into our ports, and asking the same in theirs. Never was so much false arithmetic employed on any subject, as that which has been employed to persuade nations that it is their interest to go to war. Were the money which it has cost to gain, at the close of a long war, a little town, or a little territory; the right to cut wood here, or catch fish there, expended in improving what they already possess, in making roads, opening rivers, building ports, improving the arts, and finding employment for their idle poor, it would render them much stronger, much wealthier and happier. This I hope will be our wisdom."

NATCHEZ, OCT. 7. Private letters from Madrid, dated in the month of May ultimo, addressed to characters of respectability in New Orleans, give us positive assurance of the non retrocession of Louisiana.—It is said that the government of that province has not received any official communications on this subject—altho' there are advices from court up to the first of June.
NEW-ORLEANS, OCT. 20. "At 8 o'clock this evening I left the office of the Intendant, who informed me that the Peace had just been proclaimed; and that the neutral Commerce granted to the Americans, in consequence of the regulations of the 16th June, 1798, and the 18th October, 1799, had ceased, by virtue of the fourth article of the treaty of twenty-seventh October, 1795. They will not in future be permitted to make a deposit of their cargoes in this place, conformable to the twenty-second article, which has expired."

MALTA, AUG. 22, 1802. Two of the crew of the brig Franklin, have made their escape and I have them now on board (Richard Barry and Guy Gray,) they inform me that three others have been claimed by the British consul, as Englishmen, and given up, and that in our brush with the gun boats we killed eight of their men."
LIBERTY OF ST. DOMINGO.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, OCT. 21. The inhabitants of this unhappy island, are loaded with taxes. They have just been taxed 19,000,000 of livres, under the pretence that these different duties are for the maintenance of the army charged with re-establishing order in St. Domingo.
The commodities, goods or animals of every person whatever, are put into requisition; and when payment is asked for, the plaintiff is laughed at, and after having poured on him a thousand injuries, they roughly push him out of doors. Every day such a scene is renewed.
The very inhabitants who are overloaded with such enormous taxes, are compelled to go upon guard fifteen times a month, often to go out of the city to fight in the mountains; where they are sent to be murdered by the rebellious negroes.
Every body privately complains of the despotism of the commanders; and of the general oppression; but alas! no one dare to raise his voice, and only laments his doom in silence.
This is, in a few words, our deplorable situation. Hence nineteen out of twenty inhabitants of the colony would be very glad to leave it. Far from having any chance to better our situation, we are but too much convinced that they only want to take from us the few dollars left us by the negroes.

Letters received at Baltimore from Port Republican, by the Nautilus, Capt. Bishop, represent the island to be in the most deplorable state. The coffee-plantations are generally laid waste by the contending armies, and the present crop is nearly all destroyed. The blacks continue their ravages and are successful in almost every engagement with the white troops. They are well supplied with arms and ammunition, have taken L'Arcahaye, and surround and menace Port Republican, which it was supposed they could make an easy conquest of, were they acquainted with the weakness of the place, and the dismay of their opponents. Three hundred women and children and a few men had arrived at that place from L'Arcahaye, but not an officer escaped death—and several boats, over crowded with fugitive women and children, had sunk. Passing L'Archeve, the Blacks were keeping up a continual fire on that town, the houses appeared not to be burnt, and no firing in the country near the town. On passing St. Marks, saw four schooners crowded with women.
Capt. Buntin, arrived at Newbury port, from Guadalupe, informs, that the situation of the Island is horrid indeed; confusion, pillage, bloodshed and murder are the order of the day, the insurgents do actually gain ground, capt. B. speaks of it as his opinion, that if fresh troops do not shortly arrive, the blacks will have possession of the island. To minute the shocking transactions that daily occur would be too tedious. They have not yet extended their ravages to Point Petre, but at St. Ann's, a small town about 15 miles from there, a massacre of the inhabitants, without regard to age or sex, took place about the middle of October—hanging and shooting of the blacks has become so common, that the spectators there is hardly actuated by emotions of astonishment at the scene—180 of those wretches were executed at one time, at Baffaterre about a week before capt. Buntin sailed.—The Fever is still making its ravages, not only among the French troops, but on the Americans there—Markets are tolerably good.
Messrs. John Milledge, David Meniwetker, Peter Early and Samuel Hammond (all Republicans) have been elected to represent the State of Georgia in the House of Representatives of the United States.
At a supper given by the gentlemen of Baltimore to Mr. PAINE, on his arrival, he gave the following toast:

Tuesday, Nov. 30, 1802.
From EUROPE.
The ship Liverpool Packet, Waite, from Greenock, arrived at New-York. The last paper is the 2d of October, containing London dates of the 29th September. There is no news of moment—A London article of the twenty-ninth September says, "According to a report, there is a plan in agitation, to change the departmental form of the division of the French Republic, and to divide it into thirteen Grand Governments, each government to include two military divisions. Belgium is to form one of them, which is to be placed under Joseph Bonaparte. The persons to whom these governments are to be entrusted, are to take the titles of Lt. Governors; the Prefects are to correspond with them, and they are to correspond with the Consuls."
The port of Norfolk experienced on the 6th inst. and the two days following, the highest tides known in that place for upwards of fifteen years. The town was almost inundated; most of the first stories of the Warehouses near the harbour were filled with water, and great quantities of sugar, rice, &c. &c. damaged and lost.
Extract of a letter from a respectable federalist in Salem to a gentleman in the vicinity of this town, written soon after the election of a member of Congress in that District.
"AS I wrote you in my last, it is a fact no longer to be concealed, that the Republicans in this quarter have obtained a complete triumph. And the evil I find more extensive than I then imagined, for it has pervaded the five districts next and adjacent to the capital. Such a defection at the head quarters of information and in the very heart of the Commonwealth, has excited serious apprehensions in some of our best people of its spreading thro' the outskirts of the State. They fortunately have hitherto resisted every attempt to republicanise them; and due pains has been taken to prevent the poison of democracy from being circulated among the uninformed peasantry of our new settlements; but I fear our precautions will prove useless, as it is now reported that Skinner and Cutts are elected, in the two opposite extremes of the government, tho' I do not altogether credit it, for Scd-w-k, has uniformly assured us, that Republicanism was in the wane in his district. To what we should ascribe this sudden and mighty change I know not. Some impute it to the intemperate abuse of the President, but I can assure you, that this abuse is not the work of the Federalists. The raving of the drunken infidel Callender, and of a few other displaced and disappointed knights of the post, tho' they have been imprudently repeated in too many of our papers, are not and ought not to be considered as the effusions of Federalism; on the contrary, they have been severely condemned by the most serious and judicious men among us. Nor, (between ourselves) what we should be loath to see the President degraded, but because we always apprehended, that such overdoing would defeat itself. It is adopting the very conduct we so loudly condemned in the Democrats. It is displaying publicly our own inconsistency, and announcing to the untutored multitude, that we are not governed by found principles, or in other words, that, circumstances being changed, the federalists as Sam'l Lyman predicted, have become Jacobins."
Another circumstance has recently taken place here, that has increased the disaffection to our cause. At the sitting of the Supreme Court in this town, one Carlton, an infuriated Republican printer, tho' in other respects reputable enough, was indicted for a libel on Col. Timothy Pickering. It seems the offensive matter did not originate in Carlton's paper, but was copied after having had a circulation in many others. That the Court should notice the abuse of Col. P. and silently pass over the calumnies of the President has excited great surprise and caused much conversation and inquiry. Some suppose if the Col. felt injured, it would have been more manly to have sought redress by a civil action, that the prosecution is now at the expence of the government, and whether it is maintained or not, he is sure to sustain no loss. Persons are not wanting who ascribe this mode of proceeding to pullianity and avarice, in which characters they degradingly portray the Col. and from him in their zeal they extend the odium to his friends and to the whole federal party. By the industry of Carlton's adherents, this matter has excited great movements, they talk of judicial persecution and much nonsense, and I am sorry to say, they find many, who have hitherto been reputed staunch federalists, too well disposed to listen to them. Thus my good friend, by one ill-judged step after another, are we continually losing strength, and the good cause of federalism is daily suffering by measures ascribed to us, but which all sensible and good federalists condemn. There is but one hope left us, if we cannot make the country people believe, that Tom Paine was imported for the vile purpose of abolishing christianity and erecting a new religion, all will be lost. This being the last refuge of despair, rely on it, we shall leave no means untried to make this impression on the minds of the ignorant multitude."
The federalists founted and puffed, like Bartram's inflated aligators, when Callender & Wood joined their fallen standard—The federal editors all rushed to a furious combat, certain of overcoming the Republicans—But it appears their new allies have affected them no triumphs (except in infamy.) Callender fabricates lies, and all the federal type mungers print them—we have seen enough of them circulated in New-Hampshire, to make up a handsome federal volume! but in most instances, we trust they have met the contempt of our good citizens—some are perhaps deluded—Time must inevitably correct the evil: for Truth shall ere long irradiate our darkest corners, and the places where federal delusion and torpidism hold their brooked reign, shall be illumined by the fair Sun of Republicanism.
A letter from Washington, of the 9th inst. states that the Republicans have gained the Elections in the North-Western Territory, by a great majority.—This is important, as it adds another State to the Republican interest.
Under the administration of the pious and pious Richard Bassett, late governor of Delaware state, colonels Hall and Rodney, and Dr. Tilton, three gentlemen of great worth and respectability, were deprived of their offices; because they were republicans. And in addition to this, every officer of the same principles was removed, by this governor Bassett; until not a republican remained in commission in that state, from the governor down to a constable.—Such is the father-in-law of James A. Bayard, the ex-judge Bassett; the creature, who prates about the President's intolerance!—Such is the hypocritical incendiary, who has stupidly and most impudently dared to publish his "Protest" against a law of the United States! I survey him well, Americans.
Equal to Bassett's, was the insolence of T. Parsons, a lawyer, who had the temerity to offer to the federal court, a plea, which went to dispute the authority and legal existence of said court—but Parsons withdrew his "protest" against the court—he had not courage to file in his plea at the time assigned to hear it! Such is Tory Federalism.
Since the Rev'd Clergy have been requested to adjust their arrearages for the Palladium, that vehicle of deception has been rapidly losing credit with them—from its being distributed unsolicited, among the New-England priesthood, it was generally received as a gratuitous offering, and there was time for its malignant poison to infuse itself into many honest hearts, before the imposture was discovered. Some indeed seasonably suspected the design, and sent back the deceptive present. But since the insidious plan of drawing them in to be involuntary contributors to its support, has been discovered, they are daily withdrawing their aid. The God of thieves being selected for the patron of that paper, whose image is portrayed in its front, its doors may well be suspected of acting under the influence of the pilfering Deity, in thus laying snares for the purses of the most innocent and unoffending men among us.
Accounts from various quarters mention many ship-wrecks and disasters at sea. Among other losses, that of the Leander, Portland Packet, Capt. Rowe, has been mentioned; and that the crew have perished. We sincerely hope the report is unfounded. The Leander cleared at Philadelphia the 15th inst. for Boston.
