AN ACT To divide the Indiana Territory into two separate governments.
Be it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That from and after the thirtieth day of June next, all that part of the Indiana Territory, which lies North of a line drawn East from the southerly bend or extreme of lake Michigan, until it shall intersect lake Erie, and East of a line drawn from the said southerly bend through the middle of said lake to its northern extremity, and thence due North to the northern boundary of the United States, shall, for the purpose of temporary government, constitute a separate territory, and be called Michigan.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That there shall be established within the said territory, a government in all respects similar to that provided by the ordinance of Congress, passed on the thirteenth day of July, one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven, for the government of the territory of the United States North West of the river Ohio; and by an act passed on the seventh day of August, one thousand seven hundred and eighty nine, entitled "An act to provide for the government of the Territory North West of the river Ohio;" and the inhabitants thereof shall be entitled to, and enjoy all and singular the rights, privileges, and advantages granted and secured to the people of the territory of the United States, North West of the river Ohio, by the said ordinance.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the officers for the said territory, who, by virtue of this act, shall be appointed by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall respectively exercise the same powers, perform the same duties, and receive for their services the same compensations as by the ordinance aforesaid and the laws of the U. States, have been provided and established for similar officers in the Indiana Territory; and the duties and emoluments of Superintendent of Indian affairs shall be united with those of Governor.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That nothing in this act contained shall be construed so as, in any manner, to affect the government now in force in the Indiana Territory, further than to prohibit the exercise thereof, within the said territory of Michigan, from and after the aforesaid thirtieth day of June next.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That all suits, process and proceedings, which, on the thirtieth day of June next, shall be pending in the court of any county, which shall be included within the said Territory of Michigan; and also all suits, process and proceedings, which, on the said thirtieth day of June next, shall be pending in the general court of the Indiana Territory, in consequence of any writ of removal, or order for trial at bar, and which had been removed from any of the counties included within the limits of the Territory of
Michigan aforesaid, shall, in all things concerning the same, be proceeded on, and judgments and decrees rendered thereon in the same manner as if the said Indiana Territory had remained undivided.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That Detroit shall be the seat of government of the said territory, until Congress shall otherwise direct.

View of the Political State of EUROPE.
Incertitude and indecision seems to be the order of the day in Europe. A jealousy seems to exist among some of the neutral powers, and a kind of negative warfare between the belligerent ones. The neutrals, however, are arming. Like the bear in the fable, they are whetting their tusks, that they may not be unprepared in case the lion or the wolf should come upon them unawares.
FRANCE.—A kingdom, a republic and an empire, all within the space of fourteen years; and in that period of time Bonaparte, her present ruler, has advanced from a corporal to an emperor. Still does he lead the politics of Europe. Rich in resources; mighty in dominion; an immense veteran army; a rapidly increasing navy, and a flotilla in her harbors superior to any in the world. Still keeping up at least the semblance of invasion. Doubts have ever been entertained of its ending in reality, & whether it should or not, it may probably produce its desired effect, if Bonaparte can keep up the stimulus upon the spirits of his soldiers.
GREAT-BRITAIN.—England and Scotland.—As in every other monarchy, one half of her sons are borne down with taxes, and reduced to poverty and want, to support the other half in affluence and idleness. Her resources, however are unfailing, her commerce flourishing, her navies triumphant on the ocean, her troops concentrated, and her subjects armed ready to meet the threatened invasion. In the conduct of Pitt and Bonaparte, we see, perhaps politics unexampled in the history of nations. The war, tho' negative, yet is, from its duration and the suspense it creates, distressing and dangerous. Nor is it probable it will continue long in its present state.
Ireland—the victim of rapacious power. Her sons noble, generous, brave. Struggling for freedom; crushed by despotism. Her worthies banished to distant lands, chained in prison, or condemned to the gibbet. Unhappy Erin, thy harp is hung upon the willows!
SPAIN—Kept mistress of the emperor of the Gauls.—Still keeping up the farce of neutrality. But she begins to suffer for her supineness, by the capture of her treasure ships and the detention of her merchant-men. Spain is subservient to Bonaparte and dares not act counter to his will. She is a servant of fear, retaining her showy grandeur; her independence gone. Her days of mourning not yet ended for the loss of her favorite daughter, Louisiana. Bonaparte cautions her, however, not to mourn like those who mourn without hope, and in order to elate her spirits, has created her purser to France.
PORTUGAL—Has neither the power nor the spirit to raise herself to consequence. A puppet, whom Bonaparte directs with his wires. She derives her subsistence from passive commerce.
GERMAN EMPIRE—A mighty fabric destitute of harmony and order—becoming weak from its own weight. The emperor shaking hands with his new cousin, Napoleon I. Smiles and nods obsequiously when in his presence; but no sooner is his back turned, than, with Paddy, he exclaims, "the devil burn all such cousins."
FLANDERS—NETHERLANDS—Maids of honor to Bonaparte. The Hollanders became Frenchified, however, not from choice but by force. Whether they are ever to retrieve their bravery, their independence, and their commercial consequence, is yet in the arcana of fate.
ITALY—Rome—High-Priest to the French Emperor. The Holy Father about to faddle his ass, and with some attending cardinals make a long jour-
ney, to perform the coronation ceremony of his "dearly beloved son." In former days, kings have travelled, barefoot, to Rome, to receive the Pope's benediction. How degraded, how fallen, is the present pontiff, from the dignified station held by his ancestors!—Naples still retains the show of an independent state. Of Genoa, Tuscany, Venice and Sardinia, little remains by their name, and some have been deprived even of these.
SWITZERLAND—An unwilling hand-maid to his imperial majesty, Napoleon. Her sons brave, hardy, and worthy of freedom; but, from their small number, incapable of breaking the Gallic chain.
SWEDEN—More spirit than power. Like the whist and the hound, she snarls and snaps at France, who, disdainfully, extends a playful paw to keep her quiet.
DENMARK—Her eyes fixed on Russia, and determined if possible to keep her finger out of the fire. She prefers peace, hates war, and with reluctance, would consent even to join in an armed neutrality.
PRUSSIA—As a speculator as ever; determined to make her cent per cent. out of the present posture of affairs. Formerly an inconsiderable member of the German empire; now independent, rich, powerful and respected; and it is, in a great measure, the quarrelsome policy of her neighbours that has made her so. Exchanges, amicable salutations with cousin Bonaparte.
POLAND—"Dream of a dream, and shadow of a shade." Once potent and brave, and though small, yet powerful. The granary of Europe. But the lawless she-bear of Russia, broke into the fair enclosure, laid waste the fields, and massacred the inhabitants. Poland is now no more!
TURKEY—Still a prey to faction and insurgency. Inefficient government, effeminate politics, are her characteristics. It must be a fortunate circumstance for Turkey that she is at peace with neighbouring nations. Should she be invaded by some formidable power, subjection or revolution would be her fate.
RUSSIA—In eminence, the second power on the continent of Europe. Some late movements seem to indicate as though she meditated hostilities against France. She undoubtedly views with jealousy the aspiring ambition of Bonaparte, and would gladly see his project, defeated, but we have doubts of her actually engaging in a war with France. Though stimulated by England, her policy is independent and her own; more cogent reasons, therefore, than we have yet seen, must, we think exist, to induce her to enter into a war which, whatever may be the issue, she cannot but foresee must be long, bloody and perplexing. Should however such an event take place, she will probably draw the northern powers into the vortex. [Plebeian.]

Political View of the United States.
No important changes have taken place within the year past, as it respects the United States in their relation with foreign powers; neither have we any thing extraordinary to record, which has happened during that time, in a local point of view, except it be the rapid encroach of republican principles, which will be noticed in our remarks on the individual states.
The United States is the only country on earth in which a republican form of government exists. And we are now, in the presence, and under the scrutinizing eyes of all nations, making the all-important experiment, whether a government, arising from, and depending on the will of an enlightened people, is the best for man. Should it so be found, we may have the happy prospect of looking forward to a day of political perfection, so far as perfection can mingle with human institutions. But should it prove otherwise, we must, however reluctantly, admit the melancholy fact, from whatever cause it may arise that the people are unfit to govern themselves.
An extensive field here opens before us. Would time and our limits admit, we might advert back to the laws of Moses, of Solomon & of Lycurgus; to the legislative system of kingdoms, empires, and states, some of which have assumed the popular names of republics; we might examine those systems in their formation, operation, and consequences, and from a com-

parison with our present politics, and form of government, draw, at least, some conjectural, perhaps useful inferences. This however, our set bounds forbid—the restricted columns of a weekly paper.
Much satisfactory information might be also derived, from a history of our own government since its constitutional existence. This would we cheerfully go into, were we not prohibited by the reasons given above.
To the eye not dimmed by the mists of party delusion; to the mind not under the influence of party prejudice, the present political state of our nation must appear more prosperous, more glorious, than at any former period. At peace with the world; (the petty power of Tripoli excepted) rich in finances, increasing revenue; public debt decreasing, and soon likely to become extinct; national embarrassments removed, national confidence confirmed, and all our affairs in a prosperous train, and that train like to continue, notwithstanding the sneers and revilings of the opposition, so long as the administration of JEFFERSON and CLINTON shall remain. We now proceed to our remarks on the individual states.
NEW HAMPSHIRE —“A best hath overcome thee, but thou hast overcome at last.” The governor federal; the legislature republican. Politics have been warmly contested in this state, and victory has finally declared on the right side. Republicanism is now triumphant.
MASSACHUSETTS —“There is more joy over one sinner that repenteth, than over ninety and nine just persons.” Great changes in this state, and sooner than was, by many, expected. Repeated trials of strength have taken place here, but the republicans, by a coup de main carried all before them at last. Federalism is left to mourn its faded honors, while Massachusetts has arrayed itself under the banners of Republicanism.
RHODE ISLAND —The archers have forewounded thee, shot at thee, and hated thee, but thy bow abode in strength.” Rhode Island became regenerated, and stood firm to the post of republicanism when all her sister New-England states were federal, and firm she still remains. She is perhaps the most unsophisticated state in the Union.
CONNECTICUT —“Instruments of cruelty are in their councils. O my soul, come not thou into their secrets; upon their assembly, mine honor, be thou not united! for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall. Cursed be their anger for it was fierce, and their wrath for it was cruel!” Their rulers have deceived the people; they cried, A conspiracy! when there was no conspiracy. For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, but ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble; ye have been partial in the law; ye have doubted with untempered mortar; lo! when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?” A people scientific, enlightened, and polite, and justly famed for practical morality, and an adherence to the civic virtues. The foundation and the keystone of Federalism. Here has its powers been exercised in a high handed manner; here has its executing sword been unsheathed, and here, after having been discomfited in almost every part of the Union, has it retired, concentrated its forces, planted its standards, stored its magazines, and like pent up fires of Aetna , “thunders throughout all its caves.” While Republicanism advancing with slow yet steady and sure approaches, skirmishes with its advanced parties, drives in its out posts, and will soon beat up its quarters, and form its encampment. The enlightened freemen of Connecticut are about to convince
“Let those, should there be any such, who may suppose the above application inappropriate, or too severe, let them call to mind the conduct of the federal leaders in Connecticut for a few years past. They will recollect the monarchical principles expressed by Tracy, Allen, &c. the political persecutions which many republicans have experienced from those in power, especially on electional occasions; the opposition to the Jeffersonian administration in which the clergy joined, thus mingling politics with divinity. They will recollect the late unprecedented inquisitorial proceedings of their Assembly (Legislature) in compelling a member to submit to the degradation (as they would wish to have it considered) of a public reprimand from the Speaker, only for declaring his sentiments on the floor of that House; in revoking the commissions of certain magistrates, men of the first grade of eminence in their stations, only for expressing their opinions on a public question which had for a long time agitated the politics of that state; and which act of violence is believed to be the ultimate, if not the primitive cause, of hurrying a valuable citizen, the amiable and patriotic Judd, to the silent tomb; thus abrogating the liberty of speech; thus virtually “slaying a man,” and thereby digging, or breaking down the wall of partition between right and wrong, justice and injustice, out-rape and order. Let those things be considered, and who will say that the foregoing application is unjust?”
their leaders the danger of insulting the dignity and the rights of man.
VERMONT —“He giveth peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of wheat, because thou hast chosen the right way.” A federal governor still, but republican in every thing else.
NEW YORK —“Thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise, thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies. From the prey art thou gone up; he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him?” If the republicans of New-York do but act wisely; if they exercise the same policy in securing their victory, as they did to obtain it; if they take care not to “divide against themselves,” then will they remain great, powerful and victorious, and will soon lead the politics of the Union. But we are not without fears that “evil is before us.” Let republicans therefore, WATCH! “lest in such an hour as they think “not of,” trouble cometh suddenly upon them.
NEW JERSEY —“Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people, and hast put down mine enemies.” After various fluctuations, federal magic so far succeeded as to stop away the state executive for one year, but here the delusion ended, Republicanism arose like a mighty wind and put down the opposition. In many counties, federalists, at their late election, made no resistance.
PENNSYLVANIA —“Federalists we know, and Burrites we know, but who are these?” Something called a third party has given republicans in this state a little trouble of late; but they were defeated, though it has been said they were joined by the federalists.
DELAWARE —“Unstable as water; a strong ass, couching down between two burdens.” This state has been federal, and republican, and now it is federal again; and yet, it is said, that their census gives more republicans than federalists in the state.
MARYLAND —“For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.” Last year this state was unitedly republican; this year one district has given two federal electors.—They will manage things better hereafter.
VIRGINIA —“The first born; the beginning of strength. From thence is the Shepherd, the stone of Israel. From thee, the sceptre shall not depart, nor a law giver from between thy feet, until (the political) Shilo come, and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” The eldest state. From thence Washington, the Shepherd of Columbia. From thence is Jefferson, from whom the administration shall not depart, until Republicanism reigns triumphant in every state in the Union.
NORTH CAROLINA —“And ye shall be enriched with the gold of ophir, because ye continue firm to the faith.” Uniformly republican.—It will be remembered that the gold mine is in this state.
SOUTH CAROLINA —“I know that thou hast labored and not fainted; but I have one thing against thee, that thou hast those who hold the doctrine of slavery, which thing I hate.” It is a matter of serious lamentation and regret, that so republican a state as South-Carolina, should still advocate and legalize perpetual slavery.
GEORGIA —“The burden of the desert of the sea: as whirlwinds of the south pass through.” So prevails republicanism in the state of Georgia.
KENTUCKY —“Watchman, what of the night? watchman, what of the night? And he cried a Lion: my lord I stand continually upon the watchtower, and am in my ward whole nights.” There is not a more vigilant or watchful state, or one more jealous of its political interests in the Union than this.
TENNESSEE —“The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as a rose.” Increasing in population, wealth and correct principles.
OHIO —“Take us the foxes, the little foxes, which spoil the vines; for our vines have tender grapes.” Federalists few, little, and mischievous in this young and tender state.
PROVINCE OF MAINE —“We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for her in the day when she shall be spoken for?” Admit her, with full privileges, into the Union. With New-Hampshire, she has become regenerated, and therefore a fit subject for all the rights and immunities of government.
TERRITORIES —“And their coasts were from Arzer of the Gentiles, into Kirjath-jearim, the valley of palms, and the hill country of the Anakims, towards the going down of the sun, unto the great sea.” The Territories are republican, waiting their probationary season to become states, and extending their limits towards the Pacific Ocean.
LOUISIANA —“The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the young lion shall play together, the cow and the bear shall feed, and their
young ones shall lie down together, and the lion shall eat hay with the ox.” Divided also into territories, composed of Americans, French, Spaniards, Creoles and Indians,—Lions, Bears, Tigers, Leopards, and Lambs. Politics yet in their infancy. The refining powers of our government will correct, purify, and sublimate them until they mingle and unite with the republican mass.
SYNOPSIS —On a review we find that of more than TWENTY incorporated and unincorporated States, the federalists have but ONE, (and a small one) on which they can calculate for any degree of strength, or with any degree of security, as the little pattepan state of Delaware is wavering and chargeable, and of but trifling consequence any where. Alas! alas! How, indeed how, are the mighty fallen; And now leaving our readers calmly to contemplate on the present prosperous state of our country, and form calculations and conjectures as to its future glory, we close with the following appropriate, and prophetic lines of an American poet of the first eminence, figuratively addressed to Columbia by the guardian genius of her clime:
“To conquest and mightier let Europe aspire, Whelm nations in blood, and wrap cities in fire; Thy heroes the RIGHTS OF MAN— KIND shall defend, And triumph perfume them, and glory attend. A world is thy realm—for a world be thy laws, Enlarg'd as thine empire, and just as thy cause; On Freedom's broad basis that empire shall rise, Extend with the main, and dissolve with the skies.”
From the Political Observatory.
GOVERNOR GILMAN.
“To examine candidly and thoroughly into the conduct of rulers, is not only a privilege, but it is the duty of freemen.” Gov. Gilman's speech to the legislature, Dec. 1799.
Entering now on the particular official acts of governor Gilman, which are intended to be laid before the public, the first I shall select is his conduct in respect to amending the constitution of the United States—taken first in reference to a single principle, viz. that of designating the votes for President and Vice-President—and then in a more general view, comparing his conduct on the subject of this amendment, with that he recently displayed in relation to the amendment communicated last year from Massachusetts. I shall quote, connect and set in order various passages from the governor's official communications, and from the Journals of the legislature at different periods. The good people of this state need only have their memories refreshed, by bringing together remote incidents and placing them in close order before their eyes, to see and own as glaring an inconsistency in their governor's conduct, as perhaps ever appeared in that of any ruler.
However strange, however incredible it may seem at the present time, yet it is a fact, that the proposition to amend the constitution of the United States, so as to distinguish the votes given for President from those given for Vice President , did originate in New Hampshire! Whatever astonishment may arise on considering the late solemn and conscientious scruples offered by the governor against making an inroad upon the constitution by signing this amendment, he ONCE SIGNED it with great cheerfulness, when the posture of parties was different!—Yes, notwithstanding the magic by which it has since been transformed into a southern measure , and classed with the proofs of Virginian ambition, the designating proposition really had its origin in N. England , and is a true and undeniable offspring of our own state —a fruit too of the auspices of Gov. Gilman ! It was conceived at the time of Mr. Adams's Section to the presidency (when Mr. Jefferson came so near obtaining the chair) and was brought forth in the legislature at the November session in that memorable year, 1798.—And what perhaps may appear as incredible as any part of the business, Mr. PLYMIRE now a senator from this state in Congress, and the reputed author of a pamphlet signed IMPARTIALIS , was the FIRST on a committee, who reported a resolution to our legislature, recommending that amendment, and it is believed was the man who first moved it in the house. [See Jour. of house of Rep. for Nov. 1798, pages 8, 12, 78, 79 and 80.]
That the Legislature at that period harmonized with Gov. Gilman and Gov. Gilman with them; no one, possessed of the powers of recollection, will doubt. To close the door, however, to all cavil on this head, I will quote a passage from his speech to that legislature. [See Jour. of house of Rep. for Nov. '98, pages 15 and 16.] “I rejoice,” says the governor, “that the citizens of this state are so well united, and have given so many proofs by the official acts of the legislature and otherwise, of their firm adherence to our national government, confidence in its ad-
ministration and determination to support it.” However averse the governor lately shewed himself from gratifying the legislature in the expression of their “firm adherence to,” “confidence in” “and determination to support” “the national government” and “its administration”—by rejecting certain Resolutions which passed both branches for that purpose; yet the above quotation demonstrates beyond a question his pleasure in the legislature of 1798, and its pleasure in him, and the pleasure of both in Mr. Adams's administration.—In the same speech he plainly hints at some alteration in the national constitution, in these words—“such a system as the people have chosen, may be altered when it shall be found necessary.”
But whether the idea of this particular amendment was first started by the governor, or whether it was an original conception of Mr. Plumer, is of no importance; it is sufficient that it met the cordial approbation of both, and the resolution recommending it, as reported by the latter gentleman was SIGNED by the former, after it had received the assent of the two houses. It was not then sent back to the legislature with solemn objections; but was signed without one scruple, authenticated with the seal of state, and transmitted to the executives of the other states; and I well recollect that it was concurred in by Massachusetts and Vermont.
This resolution stands recorded at length on the Journals of the legislature of that year, and may be seen by any person, applying to the Town Clerk's office in each town, on the Journal of the H. of representatives for Nov. 1798, page 80. I shall transcribe it into my next communication, placing it in contrast with the governor's proceedings on a similar amendment offered him by the legislature in June last, and which he refused to appropriate for certain reasons which will be detailed. I shall also bring into view a passage in his speech to the legislature in November last, shewing his forwardness to amend the constitution in another part, agreeably to a resolution of Massachusetts, commonly called Ely's resolution , the consequence and object of which, by every calm and well informed mind were judged to be nothing less than a DISMEMBERMENT OF THE UNION! God be praised, no second state has yet or probably will, shew itself so inconsiderate and rash, so hostile to the federal constitution, or such untoward a scholar of the “Washington school,” as to give a favorable reception to so mischievous and traitorous a measure.

Portsmouth, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1805.
THE federal candidate for Governor comes out in a new style, with a mixture of indignation and satisfaction, and a proportion of honesty so suitable to so honest a cause, as a Jacobinical opposition to good regular government. How good, how great, how indignant and august, yet how dissatisfied was the honest federalists, and the august Governor, conflicting and clashing with both branches of the Legislature the two last Sessions of the General Court, opposing with a zeal approaching to indignant madness—the voice of the people expressed by their own representatives. "This is truly a Roman spirit."—Those Romans who breathed the pure breath of Freedom, and handed down to after ages their august example of securing their Liberty and privileges; their ghosts stalk unavenged amongst us. Where is the more than Roman spirit of '76? Gone—when the blood of Americans was the Roman sacrifice of American liberty. Can such imposing stuff of august Roman federalism be passed upon the good sense of the people of New Hampshire?—If so, adieu to Liberty! We are not to be baffled or bribed by sordid, corrupting federalists; but like true republicans will still continue to glory in our old favorite republican staunch friend to Liberty and America.

The Republicans in New Hampshire have declared their intention to establish the character of that State upon the permanent union of all branches in the same regard to the tranquility of the General Government. They see no obligation to suffer any personal views to intercept their view of the general interest, or to provide an Executive, which by appointments can oppose the wishes of the whole nation. They see the election to be important, and as demanding all their zeal. That without this end gained, their best hopes are frustrated. They begin not by assurances of success, but with resolutions not to refuse all their exertions. Salem Register.
IT has been said, with the same undeviating regard to truth, which nineteen in twenty things have been said by the leaders and managers of the Federal party, for these sixteen years past; that the interests of South Carolina and Massachusetts were the same on political questions: and that therefore Mr. Pinckney, of that State, must and would be our President instead of Mr. Jefferson, for the last four years.—Unfortunately, however, for the same exclusive patriots, the Electors of that very oppulent and republican Commonwealth, gave their votes twice going unanimously for the Jefferson ticket—and have thus confounded their predictions on this last as well as on the former election. To be sure, these unerring Statesmen, were not quite so positive now as before; no messenger having come express with an absolute assurance of a federal triumph in that quarter!
But to place the question beyond all doubt, Ely's motion was to revive the drowsy spirits of the South, and bring the good people there to a more just understanding of their real interest. Yet alas! as every thing else happens on the side of Anglo-federalism, it has also happened that poor Mr. Ely has met no better usage there, than he has hitherto received in every other State: for the Senate and the House of Representatives unanimously rejected this wonder-working motion, with the contempt it so justly merits. Chronicle.
Notwithstanding the glorious exploits and the unceasing activity of our squadron in the Mediterranean, notwithstanding the decided advantage we have had in every attack, over Tripoli, the federal editors are not satisfied, which to be sure is not very surprising; when we consider their motives. In the Boston Central, and other prints of its character, it is complained that our force is "inadequate," and "its operations
cramped by our economic administration;" it would not be worth while to go into a long examination of the subject, in order to refute both these fallacies, it is enough to say that our force is more than adequate to any enterprise against any of the Barbary powers—it consists of eight or nine frigates, four or five brigs and sloops of war, and during the late attacks had the assistance of gun boats; and we would be glad to know how many more vessels ought to be sent, or how they could be employed? If the federalists can point out how the war can be speedily terminated, let them do so for the benefit of their country, but let us not be incessantly told of inadequate force when every action gives the lie to the insinuation. If it is necessary to procure the release of our countrymen by force, then is that force exerted to the utmost ability—if ransom is deemed by the federalists the best mode, let us be told so, that we may have another evidence of their respect for consistency & the honor of the country.
If there is any part of our force which has received the peculiar care of our administration, if there is any part upon which there has been an extraordinary expenditure of revenue, that is the navy —it is commanded by federalists , who have not complained of its being inadequate to the object, who have not been retarded in a single operation by the want of force or funds. At a future day we shall not be greatly surprised, if those, who now complain of economy, shall bring the expenditure on the Mediterranean service as a charge of extravagance against the administration—more strange inconsistencies have been witnessed and may be again. We repeat, let the federalists inform us how they would act were they in power? (Aurora.)
THE house of representatives, of the state of Virginia, have passed an act, ayes 102, noes 40, and sent it to the Senate for concurrence, effectually and wholly to prevent the introduction of slaves into that commonwealth. Under the law, at present in force; slaves may be introduced from another state by persons acquiring them by descent, marriage, or devise, or by those intending to reside in Virginia; the new law forbids the introduction on any pretence whatsoever: even a slave, in capacity of waiting servant, of a person travelling into, or about to reside a short time in Virginia, will not be permitted to remain twelve months in that state.
The adoption of this wise and salutary measure, at the present time, is a consequence of the impolitic and inhuman permission granted by South Carolina for the introduction into that state of slaves from Africa and the West Indies. It had been correctly supposed in Virginia that persons, who would be unwilling enough to engage in the traffic from abroad, would make every effort, in order to aggrandize themselves, to sell the slaves in other states: the provisions of the bill, adopted, therefore, are most rigid, and a penalty by a fine of 400 £ is to be inflicted for the introduction of a single slave.
Our limits do not permit us, or we could lay before our readers the bill itself, with some excellent remarks thereon, which appeared in the Enquirer: we think it a duty, however, to notice the subject, not only from general considerations, but in order to silence the clamors of political opponents in New England, who have averred that Virginia is desirous of increasing the black population, by indirect means, for the purpose of holding an influence over the states. It is evident, indeed, from the whole conduct of Virginians, particularly since the revolution, that they have constantly been desirous of removing an evil not of their own creation. If the public prints are allowed to express the sentiments of the people, then is it a fact that we have never seen in any newspaper of that state a single line approving slavery, but, in every one, when the subject was mentioned, its continuance was deplored.
Domestic manufactures. —Superfine clothes of an excellent staple and workmanship, are at present selling at Boston which were manufactured in Connecticut—the wool is procured from the Spanish Merino Sheep, imported into this country by Col. Humphreys, and is furnished to Manufacturers of three different qualities, from full-blooded, half-blooded, and three-quarter blooded sheep, all of which thrive well beyond expectation in Connecticut, and will no doubt be introduced into other states. The cloth which we have mentioned, is superior to any ever manufactured on the continent. We congratulate the country on this new evidence of our progress towards independence of European nations.
ORDAINED. —At Boston, on Wednesday last, the Rev. JOSEPH STEVENS BUCKMINSTER, to the Pastoral care of the Church in Brattle-Street. The Sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. BUCKMINSTER of this town.
MARINE MEMORANDA.
Of the late disastrous STORM! The Leveque N. E. storm, (which commenced on Saturday night and continued until Tuesday evening) created distressing fears for the shipping known as well as presumed to be on our coast & in the vortex of danger;—The Boston papers mention the consequent loss of the ship Favorite, Perley, on Rockey-Poin, the brig Paulina, on Nantasket-Beach, &c. &c.—Since our last, the following particulars of other disasters have reached us:—The Hibernia, Capt. Farrill, sailed from Boston for Trinidad, on Saturday last. By a gentleman, arrived in town on Wednesday express from Plymouth we learn, that the above ship drove ashore at that place, on Monday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, a mile and a half to the S. of the Point—she is parted, and her stern drove above a quarter of a mile from her head; she cargo, which was in her stern, is scattered along shore; that in her bows being principally hogheads, is still in her. The Capt. and all the crew, excepting the 1st mate, perished, viz. Andrew Farrill, master of Boston; Wm. Payne, first mate, formerly of Weymouth, but now of Boston, the only survivor, was found lashed to the helm, and riven from thence almost lifeless; Joseph Cardis, 2d mate, of Charlestown, and the following seamen, viz. James D. Hammond, of Marblehead, Ezra Beck, of Weymouth, John Smith of Boston, Samuel Carter, of Philad. John Smith, of Newport, Thomas Brown of Gloucester, William Howard, boy of New York, and Francis Traft, Cook, of Newburyport. The ship and cargo was owned by the Captain.
At the same time a Schooner, name unknown, was drove on shore at a short distance from where the ship struck, and immediately went to pieces. It is feared every soul on board was lost. We were informed last evening that a Portland ship is ashore at Scituate.
A ship and one or two other vessels, are said to have been wrecked on Sable's Beach. Two ships are said to be on shore, on Race Point, and three vessels at Scituate. Baltimore, Jan. 22.—Five or six vessels are stranded to the South of Cape Hatteras; every soul on board of which perished among them, a New York Feb. 1. she had 30 passengers. A ship is on shore at Nantasket, one on High Island, and one at the pitch of the Cape.
DIED. —At Wells, (Maine) on the 29th December, Mr. JOSEPH FARRON, aged 79—he left numerous connections, relatives and friends to lament his loss; as a parent, he was ever kind and always bellowing his good counsel and advice to his children—in all his dealings he was just and ever actuated by moral honesty—as a friend, sincere without hypocrisy—as a neighbour, loved and esteemed for his benevolence, friendship and virtues—Altho' excluded himself in some measure from society, yet he was ever ready and willing to aid and assist the needy as far forth as in his power with cheerfulness and wisdom—At this good old age he was summoned to go hence. Thy labour's done, upon this earthly field, Here is thy summons, come ye to God! With Christian fortitude he met his summons with cheerfulness and bowed submission to his God, under a firm belief that as Christ died and rose again, he through him would rise to spend a happy eternity beyond the grave. Yet still he lives above you azure sky, Where virtue triumphs and can never die. A Old York, Capt. EDWARD SMITH, aged 71.
In this town, the 29th ult. Capt. SAMUEL S. BAILEY, in the 90th year of his age. In noticing the still strong hand of an all-wise God in the death of this our valuable fellow citizen; we have endeavored to condole with an amiable young widow, three fatherless children, an aged affectionate widowed mother, and surviving brethren and sisters, in the loss of a worthy husband, father, son and brother dead!—And one who had always sustained an amiable, upright honest character, and did far to be not only a rich blessing to his family and connections, but an acquisition to society, and the world at large. He was a gentleman of pleasing enterprize and engaging manners; possessing a well-informed understanding, with a warm and feeling heart, calculated for the duties of an active life. But death, cruel death has blasted the raised expectations of all his fond friends; and consoled him to an early grave! Of man below, the tears which dew our cheek, More strong than words, can eloquently speak; The frequent sighs which from our bosoms break,
Can, more than language, tender grief reveal, Ah! near thy grave, a weeping wife I spy, And blooming children with beseeching eye! How oft at close of day, they'll pient tread, And mourn a FATHER with the sleeping dead!  While recollection brings the past to view, And memory bids them live and die like you! On Tuesday last Miss JANE BOYD GODDARD, eldest daughter of the Hon. JOHN GODDARD, Esq. aged 16. Suddenly, a promising daughter of Mr. Matthews, aged 3 years. Mrs. DAVIS, wife of Mr. Edmund Davis.

From the DEMOCRAT.
Messrs. Editors. The following elegant apology for the corporal infirmities under which, in many instances, "Men of Mind" labour, is from the "LOOKER-ON."
SAY, HENRY, should a man of mind Sigh o'er his brittle crust, Or grieve because it is not join'd To fibres more robust?
Look round with philosophic ken, Through Nature's works below, From very atoms up to men, You'll find it order'd so—
That much of all we choicest hold, Admire with one acclaim, Is of a delicate mould, And of a feeble frame.
Look at that bird of gossamer wings, Yet sweeter taste than plume, That feeds, that murmurs, sips and sings, And feasts upon perfume.
Look at the rose his bill invades With eager, wanton taste! On what a slender stem it fades, And blushes out its life!
Look at bent lillies as you walk, How elegantly thin! Yet well that fragrance from their stalk Proclaims the power within.
Look at the sex whose form may vaunt More grace than bird or rose; What fine infirmities enchant, What frailty charms in those!
Examine men, the world around, That soar with gen'rous aim; How few with rugged strength abound In fibre or in frame!
Great souls with energetic thought, Wear out their shell of clay; Yet at each crevice light is caught, Till all is mental day.
Then, HENRY, let no man of mind Sigh o'er his brittle crust, Or grieve because it is not join'd To fibres more robust.
