J. B. VARNUM, Speaker of the House of Representatives. S. SMITH, President of the Senate pro tempore. April 12, 1808. APPROVED, TH: JEFFERSON.
From the New-York Public Advertiser. Who shall be our next Vice-President?
The question which has been so long and so frequently agitated, "who shall be our next President?" seems to be now pretty well settled...
The answer to this question is easy, if Gov. Clinton, listening to the dictates of his own honest judgment, and turning a deaf ear to the suggestions of evil counsellors...
Should governor Clinton, however, silently continue to behold himself supported by abandoned men as their candidate for the presidency...
We confidently trust that the vice president will yet act in relation to this affair, in a manner worthy of himself and of his former fame...
If we were advocates for state claims, we would add that Langdon is from a section of the union which though very respectable and populous...
The prospect of Mr. Madison's election renders him the subject of all the obloquy of the opposition. Nothing can be done to prevent his election which is not done immediately.
POLITICAL
From the National Intelligencer. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. NO. VI.
The Embargo may be a temporary war would, in all probability, be of a long duration. On this point there has been the most perfect unanimity...
Connected with this charge is that which professes to consider the embargo as a permanent measure; permanent, even after the causes which gave rise to it should cease.
This charge is equally unfounded. Whether we regard the character and principles of those who laid it, the motives assigned by them for its imposition...
to the amount of eighty-eight millions of dollars out of one hundred and eighty millions, being more than one third of the whole exports...
The motives assigned for its imposition illustrate the same intention. The President, in the message on which the embargo was predicated, not only assigns the outrages committed on our trade as the reasons for its recommendation...
It is obvious that the ostensible causes of the measure, viz, the British and French decrees necessarily limit the duration of the embargo to their continuance...
The measures, taken in consequence of the embargo are still more evincive, if possible, of its having been adopted as a temporary measure. For had they who imposed it intended it to be permanent, they would not if I may use the expression, have relied upon their oars...
It is absurd then to talk of the embargo as laid with any other view than that of its being a temporary measure.
that of its being a temporary measure. To say that its imposition in consequence of a disposition totally to suppress commerce, is as irrational as to affirm that the individual used himself and his cattle in impending or rising storm to abandon altogether the fields.
The embargo may then most justly be considered as a temporary measure. War we have had, would, in all probability, be of long duration.
A resort to war, on our part, would be to defend, and eventually to obtain a recognition of the great neutral rights which have so long embroiled our peace and interrupted the pursuits of our citizens.
During this long period, absolutely illimitable by anticipation, we should be exposed, as we have been, to greater evils than are even now felt under the embargo.
Such indeed, was the ardent solicitude of our government to preserve the blessings of peace, that they appear to have resorted to the embargo as the last great chance within their

power of averting a resort to arms. They considered it as the only important expedient remaining at all calculated to insure this desirable result. It enabled them to address one more solemn appeal to the belligerent powers, and by convincing them that we would not submit to their unjust pretensions awaken them to a sense of their own true interests. This conviction will have been carried into the bosoms of their councils by the numerous steps taken to insure its rigid enforcement, by the rise of Congress, by their adjournment to a distant day, without raising it, and by the information of its being at last carried into full effect. The consequences felt, and apprehended from its continuance will make a serious impression, and will either relieve us from the causes that produced it, or enable us, by ascertaining the ground which our enemies mean permanently to occupy, to meet them in such a way as ultimately the most effectually to secure our rights and secure our interests.
AN AMERICAN WHIG.
From the True American.
REASONS
Why I want vote for JAMES MADISON as President.
Because he was an early, and has been an uniform friend to the independence and liberties of this country.
Because he was one of the first propofers and most ardent advocates of the present Federal Constitution; and has faithfully observed and supported it, in letter and spirit, ever since its adoption.
Because he would not join with HAMILTON , in striving to introduce a Monarchical Government, formed after the model of the British.
Because he was opposed to the Funding System; by which system a few unprincipled Speculators were enabled to reap all the scanty rewards of the toils and sufferings of the poor Soldiers.
Because he wished to introduce a system in lieu of the present, by which the Speculators should be reimbursed what they actually paid for the Soldier's Certificates, and even interest thereon; while the residue should be paid to the Soldiers who rendered the service and underwent the suffering for which they were intended as a compensation.
Because he was opposed to the British system of measures which HAMILTON and PICKERING led JOHN ADAMS into, and which, could they have been effectuated, would have raised America almost to an equal height in glory and happiness with Old England herself!
Because he drew the famous Resolutions which the Legislature of Virginia passed against the Alien and Sedition Laws, which shook the Adams Administration to the foundation, and led to the demolition of the Hamilton and Pickering system of measures.
Because he accepted an appointment under that unchangeable friend to Liberty and foe to Tyranny, JEFFERSON —and has aided him in all his schemes of Economy, of Peace, of Justice, &c.
Because he has dared to meet the most celebrated politicians of the British school in the Diplomatic field, and has completely vanquished, disarmed and disgraced them.
Because he has firmly resisted the usurpations of Britain, of liberties which did not belong to her, and vigorously repelled her aggressions upon those rights which were essential to our national independence.
Because he would probably pursue the same system which JEFFERSON has struck out; and all our hopes of a reformation to the British crown, or of an establishment of a Royal Government of our own, be extinguished forever.
Because he is a favorite with the People, and as "the People are their own worth enemies," none whom they approve ought to be elected.
Because nearly an hundred Republican Members of Congress, after a consultation together, agreed to recommend him to the public—which proves that he is as great a favourite with Congress as with the People.
Because he is in the full vigor of life, and enjoys the perfection of his intellectual faculties; and would therefore be more likely to outwit and defeat the enemies of his country.
AN OLD TORV.
Sixty-seven American vessels valued at eight Millions of dollars, are said to have been captured by the British and carried into British ports under the late Orders of Council. Had it not been for the Embargo, instead of 67, probably ten times that number of our vessels and cargoes would now have been in possession of the British.
According to the federal papers, French ships of war and privateers are taking all the American vessels they meet, with—and yet these same papers will have the impudence, for party purposes, to rail against the Embargo, which keeps the greater part of our shipping and commerce from their grasp.
True American
From the Boston Chronicle. A GREAT DEAL OF TRUTH IN A FEW WORDS.
THE British party in Boston, and elsewhere, are desirous to simulate this country into a War with France. Every falsehood is propagated for this purpose, and new stories are invented on every arrival from England. For two months past, we were constantly assailed with "the departure of Mr. Armstrong from Paris." It was positively asserted that he had been obliged to quit France, and that hostilities might soon be expected. This lie having run its round, other falsehoods are now invented to keep up the war clamor. One thing we request, that the Republicans will not credit any British intelligence through the medium of the Tory papers, (nor copy it into their gazettes), without an official authority is attached to it. Lying is now the resort to which the British Junto are reduced. They will first lie, and then swear to it.
But as the great object is, to get us into a war with France, we will enquire what would be the probable consequences of such a measure? Is it in our power to attack France with any profit to ourselves? To what point should we direct our warfare, to annoy France in any proportion to the injury we should do ourselves? It must be acknowledged, that it is out of our power to help ourselves by a war with France, for as no other country in Europe has been benefited by commencing hostilities against her, so neither can any advantage arise to us.
Every nation which has involved its destinies with England in this controversy, has fallen a sacrifice to its temerity. Sweden is now agonizing under this ill-fated connection.
But we ask what benefit can arise to Britain, if they could draw America into an alliance with them, and a war with France? The moment this was effected, propositions would be immediately made to France from the British government for a peace, and America would become the object to be thrown into the scale of negotiation. Britain would endeavor to secure every benefit to herself by sacrificing every national advantage which of right ought to belong to us.
We should in fact become the make weight for Britain in her ultimate negotiation for peace. If Bonaparte has a disposition to possess this country, there can be no more effectual method for him to accomplish it, than through the medium of Britain. The English ministry would use the U. States like a mortgaged estate, which would be assigned to the best advantage to relieve themselves from embarrassments. We should be carried to market, and every failure on their part for a negotiation would be renewed by throwing in certain sections of this country as equivalents to aid the compromise.
The fact is, Britain is reduced to such a desperate situation in Europe by having no alliance, that the ministry are now waiting a favorable opportunity to make peace with France, but are in hopes to get America enthralled with France in common with themselves, and in this event they anticipate some favorable circumstances to arise in settling the ultimatum of their negotiation. Should this take place, the United States would be reduced to colonies in a two-fold more abject state than before our revolution. We should be partitioned between France and England, and the whole guaranteed to them by all the European and West India powers in alliance with them. We should become colonies in the most deplorable state of degradation. The revenue of the country would be directed from its present channel, and instead of the quarterly dividends being paid to the present holders, they would be assumed by the respective governments of England and France, and the revenue would be deposited in the exchequer of one, and the bureau of the other.
England, in particular, would not suffer the interest of a debt which they consider as accumulated from a rebellion against them, to be appropriated to the benefit of a few individuals in Boston, &c. but the whole would be placed on a new establishment "CONVERTED" to other purposes, or "EXCHANGED" for consols, omniums, or some other exchequer property.
Of all men in the community, the funding gentry are most concerned in an alliance with England and a war with France. For depend on it, if Britain once brings this country into an alliance with her, she will immediately have the sole control of every fiscal institution within the United States. The necessities of G. Britain will be so urgent, that "money," "money," will be the cry of the ministry; and they will make as free with our revenue to help themselves, as they have with the ships of Denmark. They may now flatter this party with their pretended friendship; but when they once get us into their clutches, they will laugh at our calamity, and "mock when our fear cometh." We shall to all intents and purposes become Colonies—and it will be out of our power to help ourselves. After the terms of peace are once settled, we shall be considered as the despicable dupes of an English faction, the mere make weight of England, and thus become the ridicule of Europe. Our monied gentry who are now partaking of these thousands and hundreds of thousands from funds which the British view as the debt of our rebellion, will be stripped of their borrowed plume; and even the East India Company will call on some of our nabobs to pay for the tea which they helped to destroy.
These statements may be viewed as fallacious, but if we once are entrapped with England in a war with France, it is more than probable the whole will be realized. Remember, the tiger crouches before he leaps.
ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND.
What depravity, (says the editor of the Aurora, speaking of an alliance with England) what depravity, what corruption must there be, that would foster for an instant, the idea of an alliance or connection with that government, whose history is a history of injuries inflicted on our country. Common reason would forbid almost the remotest sympathy, even in the ruin of a government that has wrought so much misery to mankind. Look at the conduct of the British government, of the British navy; they impress and murder our citizens, and their emissaries and the hireling editors of newspapers in their pay, defend and palliate the outrages. And the most flagrant insolence in their conduct is, that while the outrages are not only unredressed but aggravated and accumulated, the federalists unite in one common chorus of detestation and insult of the American government, and the administration, which has preserved this country so long in envied peace and prosperity.
CONGRESS.
House of Representatives—April 11. Extracts from a debate on the reference of certain petitions from sundry inhabitants of Massachusetts on the subject of EISH, which they are preoccupied from exporting by the Embargo.
Mr. D. R. WILLIAMS said that when he had risen before, it had been to caution the House against what appeared to him a design to entrap them into an expression of a sentiment which they had not felt. I merely observed, said Mr. W. that if the gentlemen did not confine the resolution to a statement of facts, that I hoped it would not be adopted in any shape. Here a position is assumed that the embargo is made to operate peculiarly hard upon the fishermen. I do not believe that the gentleman from Massachusetts, out of his seat, would seriously have acknowledged this as his opinion. It is not a fact, sir; for if there be any thing "peculiar" in their situation they are peculiarly exempt. But the gentleman was presumptuous enough to presume that I am opposed to the consideration of his motion. I am not, sir; I never was opposed to the consideration of but two motions in my life; and I have been sorry for having opposed these. I was opposed to the consideration of a motion by a gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Livermore) for repealing the embargo; which was made for the purpose of giving him an opportunity to read a speech ready cut and dried for the Stenographer. I once voted against the consideration of a Yazoo petition, which the gentleman himself (Mr. Quincy) presented; perhaps he has not forgotten it. I perceive the folly of it; for that petition is now lying on the table, which would not have been suffered to have lain there three hours during the last session. The resolution of the gentleman does not state facts—[Mr. Quincy said the gentleman need not take that ground, for he had not an intention to express an opinion, and would modify his resolution so as to put it out of doubt that he had no such intention.]—Mr. W. said he did not question the gentleman's motives; he only thought the form of the proposition might induce a supposition that the gentleman had such an object in view.
This gentleman has undertaken to tell you, said Mr. W. that I have prejudices on the subject. He said he would convince me "with all my prejudices." If I so conduct myself in this House that I can be charged justly with entertaining unfair prejudices, I wish to understand it, that I may meet the charge; but before I will be subjected to such a charge unanswerwed, I will say that the expression was irrelevant to the subject, indecorous to the House, and ungenerously to myself; and if the gentleman entertained such sensations as a gentleman would feel on such an occasion, he would not till now have persisted in it. [Mr. Quincy insisted on explaining.] Mr. W. called him to order. Mr. W. said he never had nor ever would unprovoked make use of an expression to wrong the feelings of any gentleman. I never refused any gentleman a right to explain, said he; and if the gentleman had desired to explain when I first touched the subject, I should not have called him to order, but the gentleman persisted; and I do humbly conceive, sir, that the charge of strong prejudices against any portion of citizens in this country when applied to me, was at least as indecorous as a declaration of ungentlemanly conduct applied to the gentleman from Massachusetts. I never will sit still and hear such charges; because no act of my life will authorize any man in making such an assertion. The gentleman is opposed to the embargo: I believe that he misrepresents the voice of the commercial states. He says he will take the opinion of the fishermen in preference to that of the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Burwell)—and so will I take the expression of the opinion of a large proportion of the citizens of a commercial city (I mean the democrats of New York) in preference to that of the gentleman from Massachusetts. I hope the resolution will be amended by striking out "peculiar hardships and sufferings" and inserting "inconvenience."
IT is impossible to support a republican government, unless we put a proper confidence in the patriotism and integrity of our rulers.—Congress having a view of the whole ground, are alone competent to determine on the proper measures to be pursued with regard to foreign relations. We ought to confide in our rulers!—this was the doctrine preached from the pulpit and the press, by the federalists, when the government was in their hands; notwithstanding the people "groaned, being burdened," with a house and land tax , Alien and Sedition Laws, eight per cent loans , &c. Then forsooth, every man that called in question the policy of these measures, was denounced, as "an enemy to his country"—"a disorganizer"—"a Jacobin"—But now, it seems, the scene is changed, and those very federalists who inculcated an implicit confidence in our rulers, as the only basis of a republican government, are now putting all their energies into requisition, to write down and abuse the present administration—they even patronize and support characters the most inveterate against the government; and men whose connections were the most active and uniform in opposition to the American Revolution, receive their undivided suffrages. O tempora! O mores! [Chronicle.]
It is a fact, observes a correspondent, that the knowing ones of the federal party are convinced in their own souls the embargo is a wise and salutary measure; but contrary to their better judgment, and for the base purpose of making the administration unpopular, (in order to bring themselves into power) take pains to keep out of sight the interdictions of our trade by the belligerent nations, which led to the adoption of this measure; and wickedly and malignantly charge our own government with wantonly and unnecessarily restricting commerce, and bringing upon the country all its present difficulties. We say, it is a fact, that this embargo, has had the support in Congress of almost all the representatives of the great commercial states, New-York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and South Carolina, &c. whose exports are said to amount to more than four-fifths of the whole exports of the country. Is not this a conclusive proof that the embargo was referred to as the only alternative to save us from a worse evil; as a temporary, not a permanent measure? ibid.
Late Foreign Intelligence.
From the N. Y. Mercantile Advertiser.
The ship Hantonia , Capt. Dolan, arrived at this port last evening, in 36 days from Cork. She left there on the 17th of May, and brings papers to the 14th, containing London dates to the 9th, twelve days later than any European intelligence heretofore received. They give us the opportunity of announcing to the readers of the Mercantile Advertiser the arrival in England of the ship Osage , with the American messengers (Messrs. Nourse and Lewis) on board. As on the tenor of the dispatches they may bring from the French government, the tranquility of the United States will perhaps in a great measure depend, and as this interesting subject occupies a considerable portion of the papers which have come into our hands, we have confined our present selections principally to whatever has reference to it, whether in the shape of fact or opinion.
Mr. Lyman, the American consul at London, has notified the merchants, that the English government had established the most rigorous blockade of the port of Copenhagen, and all other ports in the island of Zealand.
A fleet of four sail of the line had failed from the Downs, supposed to blockade some port on the coast.
The Swedes were sustaining important defeats.—Our latest accounts represent them as having established their head-quarters at a small town almost at the extremity of the Gulph of Bothnia. The Russians, with the exception of Sweaborg, have over-run Finland, along the coast of the Gulph of Bothnia, almost to the frontiers of Swedish Lapland, the most important places in Finland being situated on the Gulph.
The island of Gotland, from its commanding situation, usually called the Eye of the Baltic, is reported to have been taken possession of by a detachment of ten thousand French and Russians.
A Russian ukase is said to have been issued prohibiting all intercourse between Russia and all countries not in her alliance.
The American ships Hannah , Ann , Ranger , Reward , Neptune and Mayflower , have been seized by a French privateer in the port of Alicante.
From Cork papers of the 14th of May, received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser, by the Hantonia .
LONDON, MAY 4.
The American ship, the Osage , which has been so anxiously expected in this country, is at length arrived. She left L'Orient on the 23d ult. and reached Falmouth on Saturday last, after experiencing baffling winds and calm weather, by which her passage was considerably protracted. She contained only three passengers, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Mordant, and Mr. Nourse. The last mentioned gentleman is now stated to have come to this country simply on mercantile affairs, and Mr. Lewis is reported to be the bearer of the dispatches from Gen. Armstrong to Mr. Pinckney. These it is obvious, are of the last importance.
So strictly are Bonaparte's decrees executed in France, that the captain of the Osage was informed before he left L'Orient, that if he attempted to return to France after being in an English port, his vessel would be seized.
When the Osage came away, Gen. Armstrong had not demanded his passports; he had applied in vain for passports for several Americans who were anxious under the present circumstances, to leave France.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY, MAY 5.
Orders in Council.
Lord Grenville said, there was a subject of importance, of which he had given a general notice previous to the recess, he meant an Address to his Majesty to suspend the operation of the Orders in Council. Rumors, however founded he knew not, had gone abroad, that it was the intention of his majesty's government to recall them, in consequence of the pleasing hope that our relations with the U. States of America would be restored to their former amicable intercourse. If such was the fact, he congratulated the country, and was much more anxious that the revocation of the Orders in Council should proceed from the voluntary act of the King's government, than by any motion of his. However, if no such intention should be manifested, by the conclusion of the present month, he pledged himself to submit to their Lordships the propriety of addressing his majesty for their repeal.
Lord Hawkesbury rose for the purpose of guarding against any inference which his silence might encourage, with respect to the rumor of repeal, to which the noble baron alluded. At the same time that he felt it his duty not to make a single observation on the state of our relations with America.—Adjourned.
MAY 5.—The last accounts from Paris, stated, that the Rochefort and Toulon squadrons had returned to Toulon, and this circumstance is mentioned from so many quarters, that we have little doubt of the fact. Our readers will find in the Hamburg papers letters from Venice and Naples, which give rather a vague account of the operations of the combined squadrons. But the fact, we have no doubt, will turn out to be that the united squadrons did go into the Adriatic certainly for some more important purpose than raising the blockade at Corfu—but receiving intelligence that the British fleet was in pursuit of them, they thought it most prudent to make the best of their way back to Toulon.
It is not true, as was asserted in some of the papers of yesterday, that General Armstrong had demanded passports for himself.
GOTTENBURGH, April 27.—A brisk cannonading was heard here the whole of the night of Monday last, which proves to have been an attack made by the Daphne , an English sloop and two others, upon the harbor of Flastrand, in Jutland, out of which they cut ten vessels laden with corn and provisions, destined for Norway, and this afternoon arrived with their prizes here.
CORK, May 10.—The rumour of a revolution at Peterborough, is now regarded as totally unfounded.
The Baltic expedition failed last Tuesday, but in consequence of an unfavorable change in the wind, had made but little progress at the date of the last accounts.
Wretched state of Ireland.
The Hon. Justice Doy, in a late charge to the Grand Jury of Tipperary, made the following remarks:—"If the calendar be the criminal barometer of the bailiwick; if the state of the jail be no unfaithful epitome of the condition of the country at large; then is the state of civil society in your country deplorable in the extreme. I hold in my hand a paper, which for its size and quantity of matter, resembles more the chart of a country, than the calendar of its jail—an affecting catalogue of our unfortunate fellow creatures, incarcerated since the last assizes, and under charges of the deepest atrocity! In truth, it is a downright misnomer, a gross abuse and perversion of language, to say that civil society exists in a country so inundated with crime."
We have infinite concern in stating that the indication of turbulence and disorder in several counties are increasing, and will require the full exertion of the law, and the co-operation of every honest and loyal man, to suppress them effectually. In the counties of Galway and Waterford, some acts of glaring misconduct and irregularity have taken place.
On Monday week, instigated by the very high price of provisions, a number of people assembled at Belfast, in somewhat of a disorderly manner, and seemed disposed to exercise those acts of folly and violence which the inconsiderate and unreflecting too frequently suppose will remedy the distress complained of; but which infallibly add to the evil and its consequences. The interposition of the chief magistrates, aided by other respectable gentlemen of the town, succeeded in persuading the people to peaceable conduct after a little time.
Some rioters who had assumed the name of Thrashers, have recommenced within a few nights, their meetings, and committed some acts of violence in the county of Roscommon. On Friday night last, they held a meeting, near the residence of Sir Edward Crofton, who, on being apprized of the circumstance, lost no time in preparing to endeavor to bring the offenders to justice.—Though laboring under some severe personal infirmity, Sir Edward put himself at the head of his servants and tenants, and about 11 o'clock at night came up with a large body of Thrashers at the ford of Kilcom, who on perceiving his approach, made dispositions for giving resistance. A conflict took place in which three of those deluded wretches lost their lives, and seven were taken prisoners.
EXPEDITION TO INDIA.
A French artillery officer of rank has lately written a letter from Dalmatia to a brother officer in the north of Germany, in which he assures the latter that the expedition against the British territories in the East Indies, will certainly go forward both on the part of the French and Russians, whose combined armies are to co-operate. Marmont is said to have the chief command. The French army, reinforced by troops from Dalmatia will pursue its march to Afracan, where it will be joined by the Russians.
Peace between Russia and the Porte.
VIENNA, MARCH 26.
Baron Hubsch arrived here yesterday post haste from Constantinople, bringing the agreeable news, that after frequent conferences between the French ambassador and the Reis Effendi, peace was concluded between the Porte and Russia. We wait impatiently for the particulars of this happy event. An officer was brought here in chains, naked, and it is not yet known who he is. According to advices from Hungary, General Markoff, the Russian General, arrived on the 20th March, with three aid de camps at Buda, to take the command of the Russian troops which are returning from Italy, through Hungary, to their own country.
FLORENCE, MARCH 19.
The ancient kingdom of Etruria is about to receive an entire new form of government, but it is not known whether it will be made a part of the French Empire or of this kingdom of Italy, or whether it is to be appropriated to some particular Prince.
PARIS, April 29.—The Emperor arrived at Bordeaux on the 4th of April, at 9 o'clock in the evening. His majesty was not expected until the 5th in the afternoon.
Government has received intelligence of the return of two frigates into port. The official Journal thus announces it, "His majesty's frigates la Themis , captain Menard-Lafarge, and Penelope , captain Dubourdieu, have returned, after a cruise of 65 days.—They have taken or destroyed 17 English vessels, six of which belonged to a convoy bound for the West-Indies. According to their invoices and papers, the cargoes amounted to 7,500,000 francs, and their tonnage to 4570 tons."
On the 22d of March, the frigates L'Horuse , captain Baudin, and L'Hermione , captain Marke, arrived at Rochefort, where they landed 160 prisoners of war whom they had taken from fifteen English ships captured during their voyage.
A vessel which was permitted to sail from one of the ports of Holland, under plea of carrying Americans home, had gone into a port in England, lent the American seamen ashore—and took a charter for a cargo of British goods to a distant port. Now the captain of this vessel we have not the least doubt will be applauded to the skies as a provident fellow, and every federalist and friend to the seamen will allow that he took care of his owners; but if under cover of his British vessel passport—a passport which virtually acknowledges British supremacy and abandons American independence—if under this British passport, this same vessel should be taken by the French—much less if she should be sunk or burnt (as she would deserve to be)—we have not the least doubt that every warm federalist in the United States, would consider it as a good cause of war in behalf of the insulted sovereignty of the nation. [Chronicle.]
Something is said about firing at a boat upon the eastern boundary of our States, but nothing has as yet been made of it. Not a place can be found on our frontiers which does not furnish a tale, which the next mail proves to be a false one. [Effex. Rev.]
John Smith, of Ohio, has resigned his seat in the Senate of the United States. He has addressed the Governor of Ohio, and denied the charges brought against him respecting the affairs of Burr.

BY THE MAILS.
WASHINGTON, JUNE 23.
We understand that the Dey of Algiers has lately given grounds to distrust his peaceful disposition towards the United States. After having settled with the American consul there, the differences which arose, in December last, including the case of the Algerine seamen who perished in the rescue of the American vessel captured by one of the Dey's cruisers, he suddenly set up a demand about the middle of March, for two thousand dollars a man, threatening to put Mr. Lear in chains if not paid in 24 hours. This was refused. He then gave notice, that two frigates and other cruisers just on the point of sailing, had orders to capture American vessels, which would infallibly go into execution unless the money should be immediately paid. To obtain a recall of the orders, Mr. Lear thought it best to comply; signifying to the Dey that he should communicate it to his government as the result of the force upon him. The day before Mr. Lear was threatened, the Danish Consul, on the pretext that arrears were due from his government, had been seized by order of the Dey, and actually set to work among the slaves, with an iron chain of 40lbs. fastened to him. Mr. Lear had circulated through the consuls at different ports, this state of things with the Algerine Regency. [National Intel.]
COURT OF ENQUIRY.
Yesterday the Court of Enquiry gave audience to General Wilkinson, in vindication of his character against the charges of Messrs. Clark and others—Colonel Parbeck presided, supported by colonels Williams and Cushing. The judge advocate, W. Jones, Esq. was present. Between twelve and one General Wilkinson entered, in full uniform, addressed the court in a very interesting exordium, and proceeded in a calm and argumentative manner to investigate the several allegations, tracing with precision the conduct of Messrs. Clark, Power, Harper, Keene, &c. and supporting his narrative with various depositions, original letters, &c. The court was occupied till between three and four o'clock, when they adjourned to meet at 11 o'clock, this day, at which time the General will conclude his defence. The Court was attended by a number of respectable persons.
Our readers may expect in our next paper an outline, as correct as we can procure it, of this vindication. It sheds, immense light upon the current of our western concerns in general, and gives to the world some precious evidences of the intrigues of men who have been vapouring at the General's expence for some time past. [Monitor.]
BALTIMORE, JUNE 21.
In a sudden squall on Saturday last, the 18th inst, at six o'clock in the morning, Gun Boat, No. 5, was upset off Holland's Island and sunk immediately. The purser's steward and two marines were drowned. The commandant, midshipman and remainder of the crew were taken up by Captain Schneeman, of the Schooner Victory, which vessel was in sight when the accident happened, and in which they arrived at this port yesterday.
NEW YORK, JUNE 24.
An unfortunate accident occurred last week at Newtown Creek. Mr. William Goodwin, a midshipman in the United States navy was crossing in a boat with three men, during a gale; the boat was upset, and they were all drowned. Mr. Goodwin's body was found after three days search and interred at Brooklyn with naval honors.
BOSTON, JULY 1.
TREMENDOUS TORNADO. On Monday night (says the Newburyport Herald) we experienced one of the most violent hurricanes remembered by the oldest inhabitants. The afternoon was uncommonly warm, thermometer up to 95 in the shade and the air confined; between 6 and 7 the clouds gathered thick, with excessive thunder and lightning, about 40 minutes past 7 a violent wind set in from N accompanied with torrents of rain, and for about 25 minutes the horizon exhibited a spectacle tremendously awful and undefinable; thunder, lightning, hail-rain and wind carried all before it. We have not been able to learn but a comparatively trifling part of the great damage that must have been sustained, even in the neighborhood, as our paper was at press before it came on: many trees were blown down, glass broken, fences demolished, &c. We learn that Capt. Sam'l Coffin's distillery-house was unroofed, a barn of Deacon Farnham's blown down; the north part of this office was unroofed, the shipping at the wharfs parted their falls and were driven before the tempest, &c. We are concerned to state that several boats were out, which we fear must have severely felt it. P.S. Both Light-Houses, are blown down, five barns were blown down in Salisbury, old town, the old Meeting-house, late Mr. Noble's at the plains; and almost totally demolished an orchard of 100 trees, over the river, (Salisbury.)
The following article is from the Martinsburgh (Black River) Gazette , of the 13th inst. We are happy that in this instance, the rogues are caught; and it gives us equal pleasure to find, from an article which we this day copy from the Bensington paper, that the citizens and civil officers of Vermont, are on the alert in detecting the smugglers, and enforcing the law, in all the efforts of British tools, agents and partisans to encourage the culprits and shield them from detection and exposure.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1808.
THE FOURTH OF JULY.
This Glorious anniversary of American independence was celebrated by the Republicans in Portsmouth with all those joyful emotions which the love of liberty alone can inspire. The day was ushered in by the animating sound of bells, and the peal of cannon. A numerous band of brothers assembled at Jefferson-hall, and thence proceeded to Doctor Buckminster's meeting-house, where after a solemn religious exercise appropriate to the occasion, by the reverend Pastor—The Hon. CHARLES CUTTS, Esq. read the declaration of American Independence, and made some pertinent and forcible reflections on the situation of the country.—GEORGE WASHINGTON PRESCOTT, Esq. then, in an impressive manner, pronounced an oration replete with patriotic sentiments and good sense, and well calculated to awaken the energies, and to call forth the exertions of Republicans in defence of those rights for which our fathers freely shed their blood. The Orator portrayed in glowing colours the excellency of those institutions which were intended to secure to us innumerable blessings; He reminded us of the danger of disunion, and of the solemn warning, given us by the father of his country—the great WASHINGTON, equally to guard against the open and insidious designs of foreign foes and domestic incendiaries. He depicted most truly the conduct of those, who under the specious garb of federalism conceal a poison intended to destroy the political life of the nation; and he appealed to the honor of this people, to their magnanimity, to their love of country, and to all the tender feelings of Parents, and brothers, and friends, to preserve our national independence and the blessings of civil and religious liberty, and to perpetuate them to future generations. Some excellent pieces of music were performed, and about 100 firm Republicans (among whom we noticed with pleasure that tried patriot and friend of his Country, His Excellency JOHN LANGDON, Esq.) proceeded to Davenport's large and elegant hall and surrounded the festive board. The Hon. JONATHAN WARNER, Esq. presided as president and THOMAS MANNING, Esq. as vice-president. The scene was interesting!—amid the group were seen, here and there, the aged patriot, whose locks silvered with age, reminded the beholder that they had witnessed those days of peril, when in the cause of Liberty, privations, and extreme sufferings were endured without a murmur. These venerable men forgot for a moment that age was upon them. They remembered the days of youth, the noble struggle in which they engaged, and the glorious prize they obtained. Patriotism beamed on their countenance, and the virtuous enthusiasm pervaded every bosom.—The following TOASTS were given, accompanied by the cheering huzza and the roar of cannon:—
1. The 4th of July, 1776.—The day which opened an asylum to persecuted liberty and pointed the way to our national Independence, may its remembrance unite us to a man against all foreign aggression, and animate us in the preservation of our dear bought rights. 2. The People of the United States.—Free, Sovereign and Independent, may they never basely barter their freedom for paltry bables, their sovereignty for filthy lucre, their independence for ignoble care, nor their birth right for a mels of foreign postage. 3. THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States.—When he quits his political labours, may the blessings of millions follow him in his retirement, and may his successful pursuit with determined vigor the measures so happily commenced as the best and most true means of our political salvation. 4. The Vice-President of the United States.—He has been crowned with honors by a grateful country, may he never be covered with disgrace by a disgranting Junto. 5. The Congress of the United States.—The measures they have adopted to provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity will meet the firm support of every friend to his Country. 6. The heads of Departments.—Their honesty, capacity and fidelity, will appal enemies without and traitors within. 7. The State of New Hampshire.—A bright star in the Republican constellation, may she never be obscured by the dark clouds of faction. 8. Agriculture and Commerce.—May the hardy sons of Columbia plough the Ocean and land with equal freedom. 9. Manufactures and Mechanic Arts.—May they be encouraged for National Defence and National prosperity. 10. The Embargo.—Peace, Commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none—we prefer a perpetual embargo to eternal disgrace. 11. The memory of WASHINGTON.—Woe be unto those who call themselves his disciples, and do not the things which he has commanded them to do. 12. JAMES MADISON—the friend of JEFFERSON, the firm and long tried Patriot.—May a grateful people in due time delight to honor him and reward his faithful services with the greatest gift in their power. 13. The Servants of the People.—May they inflexibly adhere to the welfare of their Country, untainted by foreign influence or private motives. 14. The Militia of the United States.—May they be ever ready to defend the rights of their Country. 15. The Army and Navy of the United States.—May the flag of the Union wave triumphant. 16. The Clergy.—May patriotism warm and illumine their minds, may they faithfully adhere to theological functions, and not interfere with secular affairs. 17. The Daughters of Columbia.—They need not the aid of foreign ornaments, but are in native garments clad, adorned the molt.
By Col. Harris.—The Orator of the day. By Gen. Butler.—The principles of '75—versus Federalism—Truth against duplicity. By Gen. M'Clary.—The British faction—A Porcupine saddle; a cobweb pair of breeches; a hard trotting horse, and a long journey. By Hon. C. Storer, Esq.—The violated rights of our injured Country—May necessity achieve what justice dictates—a due respect for them. By Hon. J. Storer, Esq.—The State of New Hampshire—Apprised of the intrigues of faction, may her enlightened citizens repel the attacks of foreign and domestic enemies.
By Mr. B. Penhallow, THOMAS JEFFERSON. The pride of his own country and the admiration of all Europe. By Capt. J. F. Parra.—While the sons of Columbia continue brave, and her daughters kind and prolific; we need not fear the prosperity of our country. By Mr. J. M'Clary.—Hon. J. Q. Adams, for his independence, denounced by a faction—His patriotism commands the esteem of every true American. By Doctor Brackett.—The memory of Ch's Austin, who fell a sacrifice to premeditated murder, assassination and cowardice. The Republican Dinner furnished, by Mr. Davenport, reflected the greatest credit on the provider; the Cookery was in the highest style of perfection, and was served up in the most finished and superb manner. A number of Federalists commemorated the day, by dining together at Capt. Whidden's Assembly-room.
COMMUNICATION.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
THE Portsmouth Oracle holds up the idea that the ticket for Federal Members to Congress was not agreed on in a caucus. But it is well known that the Federalists had several caucuses at Concord, and that they then nominated the federal ticket for Representatives and for Electors. These tickets have been published in the Boston papers, and notwithstanding the mealy mouth manner in which the Portsmouth Oracle has mentioned two of the candidates, it will find a difficulty in persuading the people against truth. If the Oracle wishes it, the names of the persons who attended the federal caucuses can be published, with the particulars of their several arrangements. The Oracle of Saturday insinuates that blame must attach to the legislature of last year for granting a loan of money belonging to the State. Should anything further be said on this subject the year and ways on the question of the loan shall be published, and the names of those who advocated the measure—Let it suffice at present that JAMES WILSON the federal candidate for Congress was among the yeas on that question, and advocated the loan. We do not feel any disposition to enter into personal altercation, but if the Oracle continues to publish such groundless insinuations against the Republican cause, we will meet them with truth, which has ever been the shield of Republicanism.
Mutability cannot always avoid error, and therefore when blindly betrayed into it, may be passed over with friendly admonition;—but wanton falsehood, particularly when it is intended to operate injuriously on the public mind, deserves to be exposed to the censure of good men. In the late Boston Gazette and Centinel we find it stated that the votes for Speaker in the New-Hampshire Legislature, at their late session, were 89 republican, and 72 federal;—by which it would be understood that a Federalist had 72 votes. From what data the editor of that paper has made his calculations, we are not informed; but it is a fact, that of 157 votes given for Speaker, CHARLES CUTTS, Esq. a republican, had 156! If the strength of Federalism is to rest upon this vote, it will be found to be in the "back ground." [Political Observatory.]
The editor of the N. H. Sentinel appears to have joined the ranks of the major. In his paper of the 18th inst. is the following period:—"One thing is certain, that the democratic majority (in the N. H. Legislature) is but about 25, and last year they had nearly or quite 3 to one!" To prevent the spread of such erroneous statements, which are calculated, as they were intended, to create a belief that the late measures of the General Government are unpopular in New-Hampshire, and that federalism is in consequence taking place of republican principles,—we feel it a duty we owe the public to state that the republican majority in the legislature of this state, has NEVER been greater than the present year. In the House, on the passage of the address to the President, there were—Yeas 95—Noes 62. This question was taken in the absence of four republicans and one federalist. Hence it appears that the true strength of parties in our legislature stands thus: In the House, 99 Republican, and 63 Federal. In the Senate, 9 Republican, and 3 Federal. Republican majority in the two Houses, 42! These and many other fallhoods were probably intended to have their weight on the elections of other states—In our own state they have none—the freemen of New-Hampshire are too enlightened to become the dupes of a party who are opposed to the best interests of their own country, and who are endeavoring to bend the necks of the people to the yoke of Great Britain. New-Hampshire will never bend the knee to the Moloch of Federalism. ibid.
The article in Wednesday's Centinel, under the head of "National Register," [and copied into the Portsmouth Oracle,] is a mean, deceptive statement, calculated, however, only to increase the benefits of its author. The facts are these. The whole number of Representatives chosen to represent New-York in the 11th Congress of the United States, is 17—of whom TEN are Republicans, and SEVEN Federalists. That there are but 2 federalists in the present Congress from New-York, is a falsehood—and as to "scattering" members! 'tis too absurd to merit consideration. [Chronicle.]
At the date of the last accounts from Ireland, many disturbances had taken place, and more threatened in several counties, occasioned by the almost total failure of the last year's crop of potatoes and corn—Great distress is also experienced in parts of Scotland. [Centinel.]

ONE evening, as with *** walking My thoughts engag'd, my mind serene, Full in the path an insect glitt'ring, Chang'd a while the mental scene.— Perhaps benevolence, slightly moving, Or, (not to trace the cause in pride,) Something like instinct interpolating, Unconscious, turn'd my feet aside.— Nest to my fair companion stop'd, But gently drew her arm from mine, And turning, (while I fondly look'd,) She mov'd the insect to the ground.— Pleas'd I beheld, as in the deed Philanthropy so clearly shone; Yet more, when gracefully she said 'Twas curiosity alone.— Portsmouth, June 27, 1808.
