CONGRESSIONAL.
From the National Intelligencer.
NEVER was there, perhaps, a greater triumph of truth and talent, than that gained by the republican side of the house of representatives during the last two days of the session.
At one o'clock on Wednesday Mr. Griswold made a detailed speech of considerable length, replete with involved calculation founded on several reports of the treasury department, in order to show that the commissioners of the sinking fund had not applied to the extinguishment of the public debt, the whole sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, directed to be applied by the laws of the last session. His speech embraced many other criminating charges against the commissioners, all drawn from involved calculation, and was terminated by offering the following resolution:
Resolved, that the committee of ways and means be directed to enquire whether the commissioners of the sinking fund have, agreeably to the directions of the act, intituled "an act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States" applied the sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, provided by the same, to the payment of the principal and interest of the public debt; and to enquire, generally, into the accounts and proceedings of the commissioners of the sinking fund,—and to report to the house.
Mr. Randolph, chairman of the committee which did him great honour, rose to second the motion. He rejoined that the enquiry was instituted, though at so late a day as almost to preclude a full investigation during the few remaining hours of the session. Left however the misrepresentations of the gentleman from Connecticut should go forth to the public without an answer, and might thence be deemed unanswerable, he followed Mr. Griswold in all his calculations, exposed their error, and ably vindicated the commissioners of the sinking fund and the secretary of the treasury from every charge made. He concluded by moving that the committee of ways and means should be permitted to sit during the sitting of the house, that late as the period was, a letter, such as the gentleman from Connecticut should himself indite, might be sent to the secretary of the treasury and the fullest possible investigation take place.
Gen. S. Smith and Mr. Nicholson followed, and with luminous truth, completely dispelled the clouds which had been attempted to be cast on the conduct and character of the commissioners of the sinking fund and the secretary of the treasury.
The resolution was unanimously agreed to, & leave given to the committee of ways & means, to sit during the sitting of the house.
Great was our surprize at Mr. Griswold submitting his resolution to enquire as to late a period, when the house was so engaged with multifarious business as to have actually sat day and night: Great was our surprize equalled only by our pleasure, at the able and decisive and instantaneous replies and resolutions of Messrs. Randolph, Nicholson, and Smith,—but still greater was our surprize, and still greater our pleasure at the receipt of the letter of the secretary of the treasury on the ensuing day.
On Wednesday between 6 and 7 in the evening the committee of ways and means addressed a letter to the secretary of the treasury making the numerous enquiries required by Mr. Griswold. On the next day at 6 o'clock in the evening, Mr. Randolph as chairman of the committee, submitted to the house the answer of the Secretary, containing 32 pages folio, besides numerous accompanying documents. It was immediately read under the most respectful attention of the house; and appeared to contain the most satisfactory elucidation and vindication of the conduct of the commissioners of the sinking fund, who were demonstrated to have observed every injunction of law, and to have performed every act of duty.
When the length of the letter of the secretary of the treasury is considered, and that its contents embraced a wide field of calculation, and that it argumentatively discusses the objections and enquiries of Mr. Griswold, it becomes a matter, if not of astonishment, at least of admiration, that it should have been so promptly made. Nor can it be otherwise accounted for, than from the clear and correct principles which have governed the conduct of the secretary, and his ability to elucidate at a moment's warning the most elaborate scrutiny into the transactions of his department; even to the satisfaction, we will say, of those who had previously consumed months, in the leisure of their closets, in discovering the most vulnerable and artful points of attack.
We mean not to adulate; but we feel an honest pride in pronouncing the order of the house to print two thousand copies of the letter of the secretary, a well merited monument raised to his talents and integrity. But as if there was a fatality attending all unwarranted attempts to blacken character, there was another forlorn hope not to be abandoned in a day of political despair that appears to have been cherished with an unusual ardour of expectation, but which unfortunately for its devisees, terminated in disappointment and humiliation.
The sale of BANK SHARES has long been a topic of federal traduction. The impunity with which the grossest calumnies have been suffered to circulate thro' the medium of newspapers and circular letters, seems to have emboldened the opposition, and inspired them with an expectation that
the floor of the house of representatives might, at a politic season, be made the successful theatre of more authoritative reproach.
Accordingly on Thursday, the last day of the session, Mr. Bayard moved a resolution for the appointment of a committee, with instructions to enquire into the legality of the sale of bank stock, also into its expediency, and whether the United States did not sustain a loss thereby.
This resolution was proceeded by a long and elaborate speech, in which Mr. Bayard introduced detailed statements derived from anonymous documents, of the price of bank stock at the period of sale, and the rate of exchange between the United States and London and Amsterdam, and between London and Amsterdam. His object, he said, was to prove that the sale was illegal and inexpedient, and that it eventuated in a loss of 150,000 dollars to the United States.
Mr. Bayard was immediately followed by Mr. Randolph, Mr. Nicholson, Mr. S. Smith and Mr. Bacon, who dispelled every doubt, and showed the sale to have been legal, expedient, wise, and productive of a considerable saving to the United States.
Mr. Griswold followed, and at 4 o'clock the House adjourned without coming to a decision.
In the evening session the discussion was again resumed, in a debate of a most defolatory character, which was not terminated till between 11 and 12 o'clock.
The House rejected the motion of Mr. Bayard—Yeas 24—Nones 40.
When on motion of Gen. S. Smith a resolution declaring that the commissioners were authorised to sell the bank shares, that the sale made by them was expedient, and the result highly conducive to the interests of the United States was adopted—Yeas 42—Nones 12.
It may be necessary to observe, that the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury is a complete refutation of the charges made in the discussion of the motions of both Mr. Griswold and Mr. Bayard.
From the American Literary Advertiser.
The anniversary of the glorious 4th of March, 1801, is one of those festivals which the understanding and the heart must approve; it is not the celebration of a day famed in the annals of war, and crimsoned with blood, for on that day no lordly usurper clothed in imperial ermine, trampled on the rights of his species; no bigotted priest sung peans to his God, whilst the bodies of his fellow-creatures were surrounded by the burning pile; no fiery zealot then seized possession of his country's power, and in defiance of her will, destroyed her constitution and rested his ill-acquired fame on the military habits of his followers.
On the contrary on that day, the calm but distinct voice of the citizens of the United States, placed THOMAS JEFFERSON in the Presidential Chair tho' opposed by faction and undermined by intrigue. When we reflect on the history of our country, we see in the glad event we recognize, much reason for public joy—to other nations we leave the celebration of personal prowess or successful ambition, it is the glory of the American people, that their festivals are those of principle, they want not to flatter the vanity of an individual, for was Thomas Jefferson to deviate from the honorable course he has pursued, they would be steady to their principles, and exhibit to the world the great example of a nation rising above personal attachment, and emulous only to support their constitution, and their rights.
The war which this country was obliged to sustain against Britain and her king, was scarcely ended when a powerful party were found desirous of introducing the parade, the expence and corruption of foreign courts—a measure so hostile to the feelings and wishes of the people, could not be carried, without great opposition; and as the flame of liberty was fanned by the successful efforts of the French, at the commencement of the revolution, which at that time flattered all the friends of mankind, not only with a regeneration in that country, but which aided by the most splendid talents in Britain, led even the phlegmatic philosopher to hope that the country of Hampden, Sydney and Fletcher would partake of its benefits, and enjoy the full advantages of a democratic representative government. It was therefore found necessary by those misnamed federalists to associate with the partisans of Britain, and by every artifice to raise a prejudice against France; for a time success attended these plots, and their framers seemed happily carrying their favorite schemes; a large army was attempted to be raised; a navy was adopted; an abhorrent excise and stamp tax was forced upon our citi-
zens, whilst the national debt was every year encreased—expence followed expence, numerous placemen were spread along our country, and federal measures seemed happily swallowing up all that remained of our liberties, even now that we can look back upon the dark times of 1798 and 1799, it may well be questioned whether had that party more slowly pursued their course, they might not have been successful, and the liberties of the United States annihilated.—But their jehu pace awakened the country, and her agriculturalists at once her pride and her glory, arose in their strength, and destroyed the rotten basis which supported the federal phalanx.—Mr. Jefferson was elected president; the two houses of congress were republicanized; the army and navy were reduced; bands of executive dependants were dismissed, and the fair voice of the nation again directed her councils, an honest course of politics was pursued, the national debt and expenditure were diminished, while her resources were left untouched, her income was encreased, and every means to preserve her honor & her peace were consistently pursued.—Should this opinion be doubted, the following correct estimate of the expences of Mr. Adams' and Mr. Jefferson's administration will establish it, and justify the celebration of this important day by the republicans of the Union:
John Adams came into office the 4th of March, 1797, and continued therein until the 2d of March, 1801. In about a months after his inauguration he convened an extraordinary Congress, which met in May, 1797, and continued in session about two months. The effect of this meeting was the stamp act an additional duty of eighteen per cent upon salt, with a law authorizing Mr. Adams to loan on the credit of the U. S. a sum not exceeding limiting the interest to 6 per cent.
800,000
In November of the same year, (1797) Congress convened agreeably to law. They continued in session more than eight months, during which time an act was passed to lay and collect a direct tax of
2,000,000
The whole of this sum was borrowed from the United States Bank in advance.
There was enacted likewise a law directing Mr. Adams to borrow
5,000,000
In this instance he was not restricted as to interest. For the payment of this loan the duties on import and tonnage were pledged!
In May, 1800, another loan was authorized by the Adams administration, amounting to
3,500,000
Increasing at the same time the duties on brown sugar & molasses—the revenues to arise from which were also pledged for the payment of the public debt.
Increase of the national debt for the four years that John Adams was president, dolls.
11,300,000
Mr. Jefferson came into the Presidency on the 4th of March, 1801; in seven months thereafter there was a saving effected of
1,154,673 88
At the first session of Congress in due course of law thereafter, the repeal of internal taxes took place, to the amount of
500,000
Paid on account of the National Debt, out of Treasury, during the first eighteen months of Mr. Jefferson's presidency;
5,339,886 44

Those priests of Baal, who prophetically file themselves ministers of CHRIST, and under that sacred mask have been (especially on Thanksgiving and solemn Feasts) seditiously endeavouring to sow discord among the people, by exciting opposition to a Republican Government, are seriously invited to read the following extracts of a letter from Mr. GEMMIL, preacher of the gospel in Pennsylvania, to Thomas Paine.—This Godly minister of the meek and lowly JESUS, while he condemns the religious opinions of Paine, joins with every sincere friend of the Redeemer's kingdom, in reprobating the conduct of those false teachers, who instead of preaching the love of God, have been assiduously planting the poisonous root of political bitterness, and thereby stirred up a spirit of hatred among brethren, and done more injury to the cause of Christ, than a thousand infidel writers with their utmost skill could do.
From the Aurora.
To THOMAS PAINE.
SIR,
IN the Aurora of the first inst. appeared a letter addressed to you by the pious and venerable patriot Samuel Adams. Your answer, which the same paper presented to the public, merited in my opinion, a reply. For that reply I have till this time, waited in vain. I therefore take the liberty of transmitting to you, by the same public conveyance, a few thoughts on the most prominent parts of your letter. This liberty I am persuaded you will indulge in one who with pleasure, and with gratitude to the author, often reviews the intrinsic merit and memorable effects of your writings in favor of the independence of the United States.
You address to Mr. Adams, a scripture phrase for those clergymen who have co-operated with certain statesmen to abolish our representative system of government: "Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the rulers of thy people." But those ministers, you say, such as Doctor Emmons, curfew ruler and people both, for the majority are politically the people."
I am one of those whom you are pleased so often to honor with the name of priests. And yet I perfectly coincide with you in reprobating the part which too many of them have acted during the political animosities which, for a few years, have convulsed, and at one time endangered the existence of our government. Nor can the severity of your censure easily exceed their desert. Some of them have doubtless been deceived.—Others impelled by native pride, or aristocratic principles, or the prospect of gain or the hope of elevation, have exerted all the influence attached to their profession in behalf of a faction combined for the destruction of our excellent constitution & the establishment of monarchy on its ruins. On your return to this country they rallied against you, (what you call "the war whoop of monarchical priestcraft," but) what I call the voice of federal hypocrisy. Your infidelity was the engine, your republican pen the real ground of their alarm. For no one deserving the name of a minister of the gospel can seriously believe, what they affected to fear, that the religion of Jesus can be materially affected by the presence or absence of Mr. Paine. In the book which bears the name (but not the evidence) of the Age of Reason, they have seen your most poisoned arrow, aimed with your utmost skill, and exerted with all your might against that religion. They have seen in that book, but little more than the objections, I had almost laid cavils and quibbles, which, for ages past, have often been raised by infidels, and as often vanquished by the force of reason. They have seen, in that book, nothing new among those objections, except the boldness with which they are revived, and the blasphemy of the language in which they are presented. They have seen that book, like its predecessors, made the talk of a day, and fallen into general contempt and universal neglect. And can those federal clergymen sincerely apprehend from your return to America, a deadly wound to that religion which has already unimpaired, unenslaved, unfulfilled, sustained the learning of Porphyry, the power of Julian, the eloquence of Bolingbroke, the raillery of Voltaire, and the subtlety of Hume.
Under the administration of their favorite chief, their private encomiums and their public prayers and eulogies in his behalf were abundant, and exceeded in extravagance by nothing but the profusion and malignancy of the abuse which they bestowed on those who were constrained by the force of reason and integrity, to disapprove some of his measures. But since the fourth of March 1801, too many of them have omitted a weekly and public supplication for the first magistrate of our country. They have zealously engaged in supporting an eastern newspaper, whose avowed object is opposition to his administration and to the great majority of the people. With all their professional strength, they have twelled the voice of calumny to stain his reputation, to enfeeble his hands, to subject to universal contempt him and the government, over which the providence of God has appointed him to preside.
But, Sir, the number of these ministers is comparatively small, and if it were greater, their conduct, however reprehensible in itself, ought not to be viewed as a reproach to that divine religion which declares the magistrate to be the "minister of God"—which commands us to "pray for all that are in authority"—to "render honor to whom honor is due"—and to be subject to the constituted authorities "not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake." And yet I do not hesitate to say, that this conduct has done more injury to the cause of our Redeemer than the boldness and ridicule, and blasphemy which you display in mentioning his name, his gospel and the office of his ministers.
"Thou shalt not revile the Gods" is the first part of the verse which you quote.—On this you say, "it makes no part of my scripture, I believe but one God."
I am sure you will not esteem me uncharitable when I say that you with this to insinuate that the scriptures admit a plurality of Gods, and to controul this folly with the wisdom of infidelity which acknowledges but one. Long, Sir, did the world experience
the utmost efforts of natural reason in investigating the nature and perfections of deity. And what were the effects of those efforts? Every temple even of enlightened Rome and philosophic Greece was crowded with Gods: and the proud philosopher as well as the humble peasant, bowed in humble adoration to departed profligates and harlots, to bulls, to calves and to reptiles. And can you imagine that, if you had been contemporary with the fages of antiquity, your profounder researches would have corrected this predominant error; you would have banished from the minds of Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, &c. their doubts respecting the nature, number and perfections of the Gods, and of the soul's immortality?—No Sir. Your modesty repels with indignation, the imputation of a pretension so arrogant. In those pure ages you would probably have herded with the worshippers of Helios's thirty thousand gods; and, like the rational and venerable Socrates in the moment of death, the gratitude of your heart would have inclined you piously to offer a cock to Esculapius.
Whence then, let me ask, do you derive those sublime conceptions of the deity for which you say, you are complimented by the bishop of Landaff? From those very scriptures which you despise, and which you here charge with teaching the doctrine of a plurality of gods. "Thou shalt not revile the gods." Is it unknown to you that in all languages, many words are used not only in a literal, but also in a figurative sense! In a figurative sense the inspired writings often apply the term god, or gods to celestial angels; to men as princes, justices, or judges; to satans who are called "the god of this world." And the learned apostle Paul speaking of some enemies of the cross of Christ, says that their "belly is their god." I do not adduce this last example to insinuate that this is the "one god" which you exclusively acknowledge.—Such a suspicion is precluded by the exemplary temperance with which you profess to "nourish your health." And if a knowledge of the bible had made a part of the "abundance" with which, you tell us, you furnish your "mind" I should have been saved from the necessity of informing you that we need only open that book to see the unity of God inculcated and idolatry punished; to learn that, "I am God and there is none else—the Lord our God is one Lord" were the voice and response which pervaded the camp, the tabernacle, the temple and nation of the Jews: to read that saint Paul, in presence of the supreme court of Athens boldly maintained the unity of god against the learned philosophers of that city; and, by laying "they be no gods which are made with hands," routed the persecuting power of Ephesus, a city devoted to the worship "of the great goddesses Diana and the image which fell down from Jupiter."
I intended to have glanced at some less important sentiments in yours to Mr. Adams. But I have already exhausted your patience, and transgressed the limits which I had prescribed to this letter. I cannot, however, conclude without expressing my regret that (although christianity has nothing to fear from your talents or industry) your hostility to it may render some pious republicans more exactly deceived by those hypocritical federalists who cunningly connect the ideas of republicanism and infidelity and affirm that the object of republicans is the extirpation of the gospel. The religion of Jesus neither in its origin nor its progress, has ever been indebted, for its glory, to the elevation or worldly greatness of its patrons. To counteract this political tendency of your enemy against it I shall nevertheless, embrace the opportunity of communicating to those pious republicans, through the medium of this letter to you, one of the sublimest eulogiums that ever was expressed on the reasonableness of the Christian religion. I shall give it in the very words of a "republican with whose intellectual greatness my diffidence would blush to be compared—whose influence is unrivalled and who fits this day, at the head of the freest, happiest, and most enlightened government in the world."
"Reason and free enquiry, faith he, are the only effectual agents, against error.—Give a loofe to them they will support the true religion by bringing every false one to their tribunal, to the test of their investigation. They are the natural enemies of error and of error only. Had not the Roman government permitted free enquiry, Christianity could never have been introduced. Had not free enquiry been indulged at the era of the reformation, the corruptions of christianity could not have been purged away." That is to say, the reasonableness of christianity was so gloriously resplendent that it confounded the wisdom of heathen philosophy, and dispelled the darkness of papal superstition.
I am, Sir, with due respect, Your very humble servant, JOHN GEMMIL. Mr. Thomas Paine. *Thomas Jefferson. *Notes on Virginia.
OBSERVATIONS!!
What a singular vehicle of communication is the United States' Oracle , being calculated to turn the truth into a lie, a lie into the truth, virtue into vice, and vice into virtue,—facts are there turned into conjecture and conjecture into facts, and even vicious practices possibly containing moral lessons:
"It is possible, (says the Oracle of 19th) the inventor of CARDS had a moral lesson in view, let us suppose he reasoned thus with himself, the man who has the HEART (that is money) may get into a quarrel which may introduce CLUBS which may occasion the necessity of bringing in SPADES to dig a grave for his carcass."
It is possible the inventor had an immoral lesson in view, let us suppose (as we may with propriety) he reasoned thus with himself, the man who has a heart to play, will have a heart to get money, this will introduce clubs of men like himself, these clubs will get into a quarrel, this quarrel will end in death, this will make work for the sexton with his spade, by which many poor wretched creatures will be laid in the grave by reason of an untimely death.
What a wretched situation are men in when under the presence of religion or morality, they are advocates for such a wretched practice as gaming! viewing it in this light, it is not strange that ministers & church members can sit at the card table on Saturday night, and at the communion table the next day!!
WASHINGTON CITY. [OFFICIAL.] Translation of a letter from the Marquis de Casa Yrujo, to the Secretary of State. Washington, March 10, 1803. SIR,—When you presented 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 the merchandise on the banks of the Mississippi, according to the stipulation in the 3rd 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 know the sincere desire of the King, my master, to live in peace and good harmony with the United States; as I also know 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 alteration 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 18th, 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 judgment, 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 coast, I shall now take upon myself to adopt measures which must ensue to the United States, the enjoyment of all the rights stipulated in the 3rd article of the Treaty, on the arrival at New Orleans of the dispatches which will be forwarded under this date.
Letter from Mr. PICHON, Charge des Affaires of the French Republic, to the Governor of his Catholic Majesty in Louisiana. (Communicated to the Secretary of State.)
George-town, near Washington City, } 11th March, 1803. }
SIR, THE Marquis d' Yrujo has communicated to me the contents of the dispatches, which he has just received from your Excellency, and from the Intendant of his Catholic Majesty in the province under your command, in answer to those which he wrote to you in relation to the late suspension of the right of deposit conceded to the United States at New Orleans.
The Marquis d' Yrujo finds himself necessitated, again to remonstrate to your Excellency on that subject. I avail myself of the opportunity, to beg of you, Sir, in the name of the French government, whose interests are implicated in this case, maturely to consider the alarming consequences which may result, if the Intendant should persist in his measures. The intelligence which has been transmitted to the Marquis d' Yrujo has, at last, made it appear indubitable that the measure alluded to, was exclusively grounded on the personal opinions of this officer; and supported by no order from his Catholic Majesty, or any intimation from the French government. This information, while it frees from suspicion the dispositions of both governments, and lays entirely on the Intendant the consequences of the present state of things, does not however remove the apprehensions which that state is calculated to excite. These advices, Sir, give an additional force to the remonstrances, which, for my part, and in the anticipated conviction which I entertained that these measures had a cause merely local, I had no hesitation lately, to address to the authorities, hourly expected, of the French Republic at New Orleans, under cover to the Intendant. So pressing are the circumstances, that I deem it my duty to renew these remonstrances, and to intreat your Excellency to exert your superior authority, to prevent the consequences which the prolongation of the present order of things may produce.
It will not escape your notice, Sir, that France now being notoriously the proprietor of Louisiana, and the authorities of his Catholic Majesty exercising in this colony, at present, only an intermediary power, any measure having a tendency to commit France, on whom the odium and the consequences of what has been done visibly fall, ought, were its justice and its lawfulness doubtful only, to be suspended; otherwise France may find herself committed, and her relations with the United States materially changed without her consent. I
enter into no further details with your Excellency, being satisfied that they would be superfluous; your Excellency will be aware that the present is a most critical moment. In the collision of two authorities, one of which undertakes to initiate a construction of treaties, which may lead to war, it fortunately happens, that the paramount authority, which is eminently entrusted with the preservation and safety of the colony, is of an opinion calculated to maintain peace. In such an alternative, Sir; your Excellency ought to hesitate no longer in using your powers to preserve this peace. If it should be disturbed, the responsibility of the event must inevitably lie on your Excellency.—His Catholic Majesty, who is in some measure guarantee to France for Louisiana, until France shall have occupied it, would have to blame you for not having taken the measures necessary to fulfil that guarantee towards his ally.
The contents of this letter, Sir, will, I am confident, be fully justified to your Excellency by the existing circumstances, which the Marquis d' Yrujo, in behalf of his court, will doubtless make known to you more particularly. It only remains for me therefore, to pray your Excellency to accept the assurance of my respect and high consideration.
(Signed) L. A. PICHON. His Excellency the Governor of his Catholic Majesty in the province of Louisiana.
Mr. MUNROE sailed from New-York, in the ship Richmond, on the 9th instant.
There is reason to believe that the rights and interests of this country will be successfully vindicated and ably promoted by our envoy to France and Spain. His intimate knowledge of whatever relates to the subject on which he is sent, the industry and fidelity with which he invariably discharges every duty assigned him by his country, the uniform sentiments which he has ever entertained respecting the Mississippi, and the zeal with which he is animated on a subject worthy of his talents and his best exertions, unite to render him one of the surest, if not the fittest individual, that could have been selected for the purpose. When, too, it is considered that the objects of our government are fair and honorable, founded on right, and such as we must obtain; and that they are also such as it is no less the interest than the duty of other nations to yield; we can entertain but little doubt of the successful issue of the mission.—The instruction of our rights on the Mississippi has certainly arisen either from the unauthorised acts of subordinate agents, or from a mistaken sense of interest on the part of the principals. The new facts, every day presented, offer the highest presumptive proof of the former, and it would seem to require a degree of scepticism bordering on lunacy not to yield to the clear and decided evidence contained in the Spanish Minister's letter to the Secretary of State inserted in this day's paper, and to the corroborating and additional evidence furnished in the letter of Mr. Pichon, inserted this day. But granting that it is possible (and surely this is all that can be rationally asked or conceded) granting that it is possible that these solemn and official declarations spring either from ignorance or a worse source;—till it can, and we presume it will be demonstrated to Spain and France, that the interests of both those countries would be deeply injured by the necessary, the inevitable effect of a deliberate invasion of our rights on the Mississippi. On this point it is unnecessary to dilate—There is, and can be but one opinion in America; and there is but one sentiment. The spirit that exists on the Atlantic is as indignant as that beyond the mountains; and it negotiation should fail; if moderate means should not avail; there is an appeal which the undivided suffrage of America would call for, and which her united strength would render successful.
Under these circumstances, and a thousand others, which it may at this moment be prudent rather to reflect on, than express, we hope, and our hope is rational, that in a short time our rights will be fully restored, our character vindicated, and a new sanction given to the superiority of those principles which control the measures of our government, over those which prevail too frequently in the councils of other nations.
The Evening Post, and many other federal prints, continue to propagate the fabricated account that Kentucky is in arms, on the sole authority of the alleged report of an arrival of an express in this city on the 20th of March. We have this day received the Kentucky Herald of the 1st of March, printed at Lexington, which so far from furnishing the slightest evidence in corroboration of the report, is perfectly silent on the measures at New Orleans. So deep rooted, however, in the spirit of misrepresentation, that we shall not be surprised if the federal prints shall still continue to circulate the story.
Some of the federalists are so mad for war, that it is verily believed if Bonaparte made a present to us of Louisiana and the Floridas, they would oppose the acceptance. When the cession of Louisiana had become a general topic of conversation, the federalists declared it would be a glorious thing to purchase that territory, now however, some are against a purchase, which they tell us would be dishonorable—we are glad there a few who acknowledge the policy of purchase rather than war, and the idea is held out by a federal print that from the low state of French funds an offer to that effect would not be unacceptable. We shall see how long they will continue in their present opinions.
Another excuse for not adopting pacificatory measures is that we have a marine to defend our ports—when this was advanced as an argument, the wise one who gave it forgot how loudly his party have clamoured because our vessels of war were destroyed or rotting.
Arrived in this city the United States frigate Constellation, in 40 days from Gibraltar.
Arrived at Philadelphia on the 9th inst. the French National Brig, the Gers, Capt. Drouault, in 22 days from the Havannah, previously from Cape Francois in 50 days—bringing dispatches from General Rochambeau to Mr. Pichon.
From the National Intelligencer. By the following letter we possess the IMPORTANT fact, that the DAY OF ALGIERS has declared war against FRANCE. 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 despatched 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, Your obedient humble servant, WILLIAM KIRKPATRICK.
For the New-Hampshire Gazette.
A WRITER in Saturday's Oracle who styles himself a Countryman and a plain homebred man, may be told there are many Countrymen, and plain homebred men much better acquainted with, and far more capable of judging of the true interests of their country than he appears to be. In behalf of his favourite Governor, he has resorted to the often refuted arguments of the wrong-headed Feds ; holding up the Ex-President in conjunction with WASHINGTON—two men, who were as different in their characters and views as pride, vanity, ambition and deceit, are from humility, virtue and genuine patriotism, which last adorned the deceased WASHINGTON. If Mr. Gilman was of the opinion of Washington and Adams, while Mr. Adams was considered as a true Patriot, it was then much to his credit. But when Mr. Adams appears, undigested, the aspiring Monarchist , that Mr. Gilman should assimilate and attach himself to so odious and contemptible a character, is surely to his dishonour, and renders him unworthy of the confidence of an injured People—as inimical to their interests, and as friendly to despotism.—Let this writer, who thinks we are "so well provided for," but attend seriously, if he is capable of it, to the unanswerable evidences that have been produced, of the importance, to the well being of New-Hampshire, of a change of Public Officers, and to the well ascertained merits of Mr. LANGDON, and that this State ought to be no longer under the controul of men incapable of comprehending and valuing the blessings of a free Government; and disaffected to the present administration of the Government of the United States. If this writer can attain to a candid attention to these evidences, he will learn, that Mr. LANGDON, whom he acknowledges to have been "in favour of our Independence," and "one of that body who formed our Constitution, and assisted at its adoption," has been, and still continues to be, without a shadow of change, the friend of our Independence and our Constitution; and as such, respected and confided in by a large majority of the People of the United States, and that his virtues and integrity daily increases the number of his friends, who well know his highest ambition is to promote the best interests of his Country without any sinister views. Such is the man whom we ought to be unanimous in promoting to the highest office of the State, and whom none but the enemies of Liberty, and advocates for despotic Government and the oppression of the People, oppose. VERITAS.
From the Pittsfield Sun.
It is a subject of sincere congratulation, that the late attempts of the Federal party to introduce sinecure establishments, vulgarly called pensions , for the Ex-Judges of the United States, whose useless offices were repealed, and for the Judiciary invalids of Massachusetts, have been completely defeated by the spirited exertions of the Republicans in Congress and our State Legislature. Moderate Federalists joined the Republicans ; and some, who appear to have been influenced more by timidity than moderation, withdrew from a vote, which was urged by their party, and yet would not be acceptable to their constituents. It is an animating fact, that the fair, unbiased sentiments of the people at large are on the Republican side of every distinguishing question.—No wonder, then, that the Federalists think the People their own worst enemies. The great principle of Election will eventually republicanize every department of our government. This truth is already exemplified in the political character of the Senate of the United States, which will contain not more than nine Federalists to twenty-five Republicans , in the next Congress. The judiciary, from the tenure of office, will be the last hold of Federalism which accounts for the zeal of the falling faction to patronize and pension their favourite department. But the elective voice of the people which is decidedly opposed to sinecures and pensions for Judges or any other Officers, must and will be obeyed.

Portsmouth. TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1803
Extract of a letter from New Orleans, dated Feb. 17, 1803. "Our last advices put it beyond a doubt that the French are now on the way to this place, and are looked for daily. The baggage of the prefect is already arrived, and several officers of inferior grades."
WAR HAWKS—TAKE NOTICE.
We have much pleasure in being able to state to our readers, that advices have been received of an official nature, which no longer leave room for doubt or disaffected cavil, as to the origin of the obstructions to our privilege of deposit at New-Orleans. It appears to be acknowledged by the Spanish Intendant, that the act was his own, unauthorised by any other than his sense of construction of the general receipt of his government, and of the treaty between Spain and the United States. We learn from another quarter, but not less respectable and equally to be relied on, that the governor of Louisiana had repeatedly protested against the act of the Intendant, and that a dispatch for Spain on the part of that officer was the consequence. There is some reason to expect that before advices can be received from Europe, the difficulty will be removed, either by the restoration of the old place of deposit, or the substitution of a new.
The last accounts from France assure that every thing looks favorably to our country there. What a pretty figure we should make, if we proclaimed war, we did not know for what, because a few fellows were clamorous, and who would be the last to fight, or perhaps would take shelter in foreign countries till the war was over, and then would only return to govern us.
Some of the federalists write such paragraphs for their newspapers as would induce one to believe their readers all idiots—one of them lately informed that a war with France and Spain would not be attended with more calamitous consequences than the shutting New-Orleans now is. Such assertions require no comment.
"EFFECTS OF FEDERAL ALARM"
We learn from a respectable underwriter, that in consequence of an apprehension of war between this country and France or Spain, the different offices, as well as individuals have refused to underwrite on vessels defined on long voyages, at the usual premium. N. Y. Gaz.

William Parkinson, chaplain to Congress, in a letter to his friend in Milford county, after mentioning the punctuality and attention of the members to divine worship, says—"I have moreover the satisfaction of saying, that the President notwithstanding all the clamour about his infidelity, has never missed but one, of my meetings at the capitol, while in the city. I preach on the Lord's day morning in the capitol, & in the evening at the treasury."

A generous reward will be given for any newly invented story, that may serve as a theme, on which political Clergymen may rail against the Government and traduce Republican principles. The more improbable the better, as it has been found by experience, that the ocean story, the negro massacre, the tailor plot, the tub plot and many other plots, never plotted, but equally absurd and improbable, by being skilfully interlarded in FAST DAY sermons, have passed as current and been more attended to, than the truths of the Gospel would have been, had the preachers stepped out of their usual path to have noticed them. It was expected the insurrection story of Kentucky, would have done for the next Fast Day, but it was imported so soon, that its falsity was detected, before an opportunity offered for making use of it. Had the New-England Fast Days been a little sooner, that story would have had an excellent effect in the hands of an adroit manager. Any plausible high seasoned fabrication will be gratefully received by every political preacher, who regards the traditions of men, more than the commandments of God; especially if it holds up the President as a Deist, and Tom Paine as the Whore of Babylon. N. B. Evidence of the truth of any well narrated tale will not be required, provided there is no danger of its being proved a lie before next Fast Day.

Voted, unanimously that it is the opinion of this town that it will not be for the interest of the County that the Supreme Judicial Court should be held in future, the Spring term at Wells, and the fall term at Alfred; but that the said Courts remain for the interest of this County as they are now established by law, viz. at York and Alfred.

To the EVENING STAR. STAR of the pale descending Night! Thy beam on yonder west is bright; Thou risest on th' ethereal blue; Thy steps are stately on thy hill; On yonder plain what dost thou view? The loud and stormy winds are still. The murmur'ing of the torrent pours, And billows climb the rocky shores: The flies are on their feeble flight, They mingle in their airy play; But what dost thou behold, fair Light? Thou smil'st, and depart'st away: The waves with joy the burthen bear, And bathe its lovely flowing hair!
The II. book of Anti-Christ. CHAPTER VIII.
1. AND it came to pass, that by reason of the grievous persecutions which the disciples of CHRIST received from the clergy, that many of them left their native country to find a peaceful retreat from the cruelty of their persecutors. 2. And hearing of a new country called New-England, which was separated from them by a wide ocean, called the Atlantic Ocean, they resolved to take up their abode there, where they might obey their King, JESUS CHRIST, undisturbed. 3. Now those who failed for this new world were of different sentiments, yet they were called by one common name, which was Puritans. 4. And being agreed, they failed from England in the sixteen hundred and twenty-seventh year of Anti-Christ, in the eighth month, and the fifth day of the month. 5. Now when this was done, Anti-Christ stirred up the clergy, to prevent their removing across the ocean, fearing that they might become a nursery for the enemies of Anti-Christ and his clergy. 6. However by promising faithfulness to the king, and that they would seek the interest of the gospel, part of them obtained liberty, and part were detained as sureties for the rest. 7. And after failing many days, they discovered a place called Cape-Cod, where they arrived in the eleventh month of the same year, which caused all their hearts to rejoice. 8. And it came to pass after certain days they landed in a place which they called Plymouth, which name it has retained to this day. 9. Now when they had landed at Plymouth, they said one to another, we are now out of the kingdom of Anti-Christ, for our persecutors remain on the other side of the flood. 10. Let us now adopt a plan of civil and religious government, by which we may live without persecution, and that the generations to come may never be persecuted so long as they maintain the form of government which we have adopted. 11. And they agreed on this plan, that no man should be a magistrate unless he was a member of the church, because that no man was thought fit for a magistrate or church member, unless he was a good man. 12. Now when this was done, many thought they should be happy, and free from persecution, heresies, and divisions; 13. But some of the disciples of CHRIST said the plan of government laid a foundation for Anti-Christ to introduce his government among them, by which some of them might become persecutors, if any differed from the church and court in doctrine or practice. 14. Now the reason they gave was this, that when Anti-Christ begun his kingdom in Rome, it was by blending the church with the power of the magistrates, by which the bishop became a temporal and spiritual tyrant. 15. Moreover when the king and bishops of our cruel Mother Britain, protected against the bishop of Rome, and set up a separate government, it was upon the same plan; 16. And by sad experience we have found that the kingdom of Anti-Christ extended in our country, and that we suffered the same from the king and clergy of England, that our fathers suffered from the power of Rome. 17. And now, said they, if this form of government is adopted, it will not be many years before this wilderness will be a place of persecution, where Anti-Christ will reign in disguise. 18. (Now those disciples, who opposed this form of government, were called Anabaptists, who denied the power of magistrates in matters of religion, believing that CHRIST was able to manage his own kingdom without human aid.) 19. Now it came to pass after these things, that the form of government in which the church and colony were connected, was adopted, and for a season the people lived in peace. 20. For the ministers considered themselves servants, and styled themselves Elders and Pastors of the churches. 21. And when the news of their peace and prosperity came to the ears of the people in England, many of the disciples of CHRIST returned to the new world, to escape the rage of Anti-Christ. 22. Howbeit Anti-Christ was aware of it, and sent over his servants, and they stirred up the government against the disciples of CHRIST, and the government caused them to be cruelly persecuted. 23. Now the manner of Anti-Christ's introducing his doctrine in New-England was by stirring up the government against the disciples of CHRIST, because they refused to obey magistrates in those things which were contrary to the laws of CHRIST. 24. And after many years, those ministers and people, who first came over to New-England, died: (Now many of them were faithful servants of JESUS CHRIST, and hearty opposers of Anti-Christ.) 25. And after them rose up men friendly to Anti-Christ, and having the same power which those had, who had gone before them, and not possessing the same temper, they exercised it in promoting the kingdom of Anti-Christ, and persecuting the disciples of CHRIST. 26. And instead of bearing the name of Elders, they, under Anti-Christ, took the same name which the servants of Anti-Christ were called by in Italy, France, and England, which is the clergy, and they call themselves by that name unto this day.
