There is but one test of friendship: a test by which no one would try the genuineness of it, and this is, necessity: and yet, without that, it is not easy to know whether the professions of our friends flow from the heart, or only steam from the lips.
FROM THE AURORA.
Politics for Farmers.—No. 5.
Young as our country is in the political world—it has furnished a world of useful experience—the farmers of this land, the simple, honest, laboring classes of men—those who are not above the dull pursuits of civil life cannot be insensible of their blessings—to that pacific and frugal and honest policy which renders equal justice to all men, and all societies of men—to that pacific, frugal, and neutral policy, which leaves no room for anger, or the enmity of other nations—which neither goes to excite their jealousy or their fears—the value of this policy, we all feel, none feel it more than the farmers—and those whose comforts are the fruits of peace and industry; none can be so much interested in the preservation of that policy as the farmers, for it is from their pockets, from the produce of their farms, that a hostile, an extravagant, or an actual war policy must be paid; nay it is the farmer and the man of industry, who would also have to fight as well as to pay; while those who come here only for the harvest of commerce during the season of war, would fly to where the sunshine of peace would afford them security from the dangers or the expense of war. These are serious considerations for the farmers; we recommend these farmers politics to the republican farmers of Vermont, as one of their members appears to have been bitten by one of the mad dogs of war.
Let the farmers compare and contrast the measures, and the politics of men—let them pursue carefully, even the history of our early settlements—they will find useful lessons in the history of our own old times; let them see wherein the measures and politics of the royal governors of the colonies, resemble the measures and politics of governors in our own times;—see where the dispositions and the principles are similar, and ask if there can be any good, where there is such an agreement in tyrannic, or extravagant, or oppressive policy.
Come lower down, even to the experience we have had, since the federal constitution.
Who have been for extravagant and violent systems?
Who have been for frugal and pacific systems of policy?
Who favored the mad measures, which produced the taxes on lands and houses, the excises and stamps? Not the farmers—who pay every tax.
But the rapacious broods, that live upon the extravagance and speculations on the misfortunes of mankind.
Who produced the extinction of those oppressive burthens?
The fundamental principle on which this state of Pennsylvania was founded by Penn, was—PEACE.
On this principle, both in theory and in practice, whilst the quakers held the administration of its government, were its affairs conducted—this honor and praise is due to them—however much there has been a backsliding among some of its members since; and in defiance of the calumnies and denunciation of the Tories and federalists of that day, that is of the English courtiers and proprietary agents, did they pursue, undeviatingly, their principles—any man who wishes to read useful lessons, will find them in Dr. Franklin's history of Pennsylvania.
Unmoved by the contumelies of their adversaries, those peaceable people followed the commands of their great, good and illustrious patron.
They were reproached, indeed, with the name, cowards and of dastards—of being economilts of "blood and treasure," nay of enemies to the liberties of their country; as men who would sacrifice its liberties to the power of France—these very charges were made, by British governors and agents.
All these reflections were cast on the followers and disciples of Penn.
But in spite of all those charges, did this state, then a province, arise to a rank and equality in this new world, with their sister states in a shorter time, and to a prosperity unequalled.
To the Indian natives their policy was justice—by that conduct they conciliated their esteem, and to this day do the aborigines of America, express their gratitude to the quakers.
Whilst the frontiers of other states were drenched in blood from the cruelties and invasions and injustice of "sainted pilgrims," those quakers enjoyed a profound peace.
Look to the history of many other states, look to the proclamations of
many governors of the "sainted pilgrims" and compare the account.
Here you see no rewards offered by the first founders for the scalps of men, women and children, fixing the price by the regulated gradation of age.
Here you see no laws enacted by the "sainted pilgrims" of Penn, for banishing or hanging of baptists, of protestants, of papists, of quakers—or others who differed from them "in modes of faith."
Here there was justice to the natives and equal liberty to all settlers.
The blood of Indians, or of European settlers are not registered in the records of Heaven against the first planters of Pennsylvania.
And to the honor of Lord Baltimore, a Roman Catholic, he followed the footsteps of Penn, in his system of toleration; of liberty of conscience.—neither of these men nor their sects in flying to the wilderness of America, brought with them the cruelty or intolerance of the old world—this was left for "sainted pilgrims and steady habits."
Exactly what were the principles of Penn in respect to the state of Pennsylvania, are the principles of Jefferson to the whole world.
If then the illustrious founder of Pennsylvania was branded with the character of a coward, for his peaceable principles, is it any wonder that those who follow the path and example of Penn, should meet with equal calumny?
That Penn was an enemy to war as hostile to every principle of policy (and the policy of Pennsylvania is a proof of his policy) we ought and do glory in.
That such are the principles of Jefferson we are proud to know—and that our country is honored in the world for his policy.
But let the declaration of the constitution of this state, let the sufferings of Penn for his religious opinions, let the trial of Penn and Mead, at the Old Bayley, attest that he was no coward, in his individual person; which is to be seen that noble fortitude which constitutes real courage; the resolute maintenance of truth, and the scorn to admit deceit or vice.
"The present administration are niggards of blood and treasure."
This is the declaration of Cullen the British spy at New-York—and even the "sainted pilgrims" say so; it seems as if the jointed pilgrims had in process of time, imbibed from the blood of the Indians they had shed the aboriginal aptitude for blood shed.
And whose blood and treasure, does this hireling with to flow?
Like Windham, the British secretary of war, Cullen's patron, when the French were sent to death and massacre, at Quiberon—if a Frenchman is killed, an enemy is decreased—so he may say, "if an American is killed there is a rebel less."
So it is with the British Agents;—democrats or federalists, it is of no consequence to them—their only aim is to involve these states in war—their only aim, is to lead America on to destruction.
We have plainly pointed out in our former essays, who are the persons that labor to involve the United States and the administration, in dispute with foreign nations.
We have plainly pointed out, who are the persons that would have to pay the permanent taxes in case of war, of a navy, or fortifications, for the interest of mercantile speculators—in a word—
THE FARMERS AND INDUSTRIOUS CLASS—PAY AND FIGHT ALL.
These are the men who are stationary, who cannot budge from their plantations and their homes, who cannot skulk into counting houses of ten feet square and whilst they may be accumulating thousands by their foreign traffic, or by war contracts, are comparatively exempted from the calls of the tax gatherer—and are never to be seen in the ranks of our militia.
The farmers are always visible, they are not birds of passage—they are not foreigners who treat mankind like a dead carcass, and who just pitch like vultures for prey, and then flit off.
The farther when the tax gatherer calls, if not at home to-day, is sure to be found to-morrow.
Not like British agents, who to-morrow, are on the way to the United Kingdom.
On the farmers then would the brunt of war fall, whether by permanent service in case of an invasion from
a foreign foe—or naval mercantile war by taxes.
Such being the case, how much does it behoove the farmers of the United States, to oppose any system which shall involve them in war.
And especially in war or a navy, or fortifications, totally opposite to their interest, and for which they have no more need than the people in the moon.
The farmers will be jealous of every thing like war, more particularly at the instigation of British spies, and pressers, embassadors, or consuls—her own example proves her unfit to advise others—her conduct to us proves her unfit to be trusted by us.
Britain has already led ten monarchies, besides numerous petty princes and states, to the loss of their independence—by her counsels—her gold and her corruption.
The means by which she accomplished their ruin, was exactly similar to the means which she has pursued in the United States—but thank God with a different effect; had our government not been an elective one—our ruin had been completed before the year 1800—the farmers then awoke from the delusion and saved the nation from wicked counsellors and English influence.
An administration, playing into the hands of Britain, was by the almost unanimous voice of the sovereign people, driven into obscurity—162 to 14—a proportion pretty well agreeing with the proportions of the farming and foreign interests.
Cobbet, the supporter of that administration, fled to the haunts and dens of St. James.
Driven to despair, the monarchy of George III. after enjoying the savage spectacle of the ruin of all the old family thrones of Europe, precipitated by the folly of listening to her agents and consuls, beneath the just vengeance of France, will redouble her efforts to the eleventh hour, to involve these states with herself in destruction.
It is for this her secret expeditions are fitted out—for this that she provides for a Burr and a Miranda—for this she corrupts our press to vilify our government.
The British monarchy, like Satan with our first parents, will deem her approaching ruin more tolerable, so as she can by any means tempt the people of the United States to follow like others, in her path of destruction.
It is for this cause and this cause only; that we see the papers directly paid by her, and the federal papers of America, copy from these papers, incitements to war, navies and fortifications.
It is for this cause and for this cause only, that Britain pays Blount's and Burr's, and supports our Catalines and Cloddifus to domestic treason, that the Indians are stirred up to war, to second the views of those Catalines.
It is for this cause and this cause only; that many are loud for a navy, and war, and fortification—they know that the farmers are not interested in these, and that by Congress adopting those plans to the extent proposed—the union would be dissolved.
This is their aim. Farmers, you who are 17 parts of 20 of the population of the United States, you 162 to 14—are you advocates for your own ruin.
You will, although there are apostates from both—and who ally with their enemies, you will still follow the peaceable principles of Penn and Jefferson.
The solicitude expressed by public sentiment for the re-election of Thomas Jefferson, has excited a sensible alarm among the anglo federalists, and their desperation is becoming now as violent as their fears in 1799, before the first election—nothing so grieves them as the idea of his being induced once more to serve his country, because they foresee that he will preserve peace and avoid excessive measures of every kind; he will neither encourage taxation nor sanction jobs; he will neither countenance foreign alliances nor intermeddle with foreign policy; but endeavor to keep his country in the proudest of all stations, that which secures the happiness of all—the peace of all, and promises to fix the representative system upon a basis not to be shaken by hostile power not by any other evil than national degeneracy.

LATEST Foreign Intelligence.
Latest from England. —The British packet Manchester, capt. Davies, arrived at N. York on Friday last, in 47 days from Falmouth, and brings London papers to the 11th of January. It does not appear that any action had taken place between the hostile armies on the continent since our last advices from that quarter.—The king of Prussia, with the remnant of his army, had joined that of the emperor Alexander, and both were retreating.
Dispatches from the Government of the U. States were brought by the packet: they contain, it is said, a duplicate of the Treaty lately negotiated between our Ministers and G. Britain.
An order of Council was to appear in the London Gazette of the 10th of Jan. and is in substance, says the Morning Chronicle, "that no neutral ships be permitted to trade from any port under the control, or in the possession of, the enemy. The neutral trade DIRECT from neutral nations to the enemy's ports still permitted; but the neutral trade from port to port is prohibited." The direct trade from America is permitted, but, under this salutary regulation, the Americans will not be allowed to carry on the trade between France, Spain, Holland, &c.
Two important state papers are received: one is the proclamation of the king of Prussia, stating the reasons of his refusing to ratify the Armistice.—The other is a Note of Talleyrand, presented to the Prussian plenipotentiaries on signing the armistice.
On the 9th of Jan. the American ship Diana, Noble, arrived at Falmouth, in 7 days from Rochefort. It was currently reported when she failed, that the Russians had been defeated by the French in a battle that had taken place on the banks of the Vistula; but the time was not mentioned, nor any circumstances to decide whether the report was entitled to credit.
It will be seen by the subsequent extracts that the French head quarters were at Warsaw.
LONDON, JAN. 6. —Sir Harford Jones has brought the latest accounts to Government from the Russian head-quarters. He had a full opportunity of seeing them with his own eyes, and we have his authority to say, that he never saw an army in a higher state of discipline, or more eager to meet the enemy à l'arme blanche . The two columns of the Russians, under Generals Bennington and Buchowden, amount to 150,000 men, which must have joined by the 9th.
JAN. 8. The Mails from Denmark bring news to the 30th ult. All accounts agree in this, that the French army are in a most direful state by dysentery and other infectious disorders, produced by the severity of the weather and the want of proper food—nearly the whole of the army being disabled.
The Danes, apprehensive of French attempts to violate their neutrality, and force them into measures inconsistent with their interests, are making preparations to vindicate their rights, and have equipped several ships of the line for the protection of their coast and trade.
JAN. 9. The king of Prussia's head quarters have been transferred from Konigsberg to Wuhlau. His army combined with the Russian division under Gen. Tolstoy, amounts to 100,000 men. The Prussians are commanded by Gen. Kalkreuth.
It is stated in a private letter, that two regiments of French cavalry were cut to pieces by two Prussian regiments, the former having been drawn into an ambuscade near Dantzig. An application has been made to the Emperor of Austria, on the part of France, desiring that he should surrender Galicia, if this should be rendered necessary by any arrangement in Poland. To this demand the Emperor Francis is said to have replied by a decided negative. There are several rumours of a general engagement, about the 25th ult. and of a pacification between Prussia and France. Both these reports we are strongly inclined to distrust.
It now appears that Gen. Bennington, after laying waste the country, has taken up his position at Pulitusk, a town situated near the confluence of the Narew and the little river Roslawa. It is said to be a very strong position, for all the country between the Narew and the Bug is extremely difficult, full of woods and marshes, whilst the open country between Pulitusk and the Vistula has been ravaged and laid waste.
SLESWICK, DEC. 30. —We learn that Napoleon arrived at Warsaw on the 19th inst. where Prince Murat was confined to his bed. Skirmishes daily take place between the Russian and French out-posts.
Five hospitals have been erected at Warsaw.—Kosciusko, who left Paris the 13th, was expected at Warsaw, to put himself at the head of the Polish confederation.
Gen. Bennington with 73,000 men, retreating before the French to Narew, destroyed all the provisions, and took with him all the Poles who were able to serve in the army.
TONNINGEN, DEC. 30. —All accounts agree that the French army are much reduced by sickness and scarcity. The Empress Josephine and the Queen of Holland have fled from the contagion.
PRESSBURG, DEC. 30. —We learn that the Russians, 30,000 strong, are posted at Moldavia and Wallachia, as friends and allies of the Sublime Porte; that they have advanced as far as Widden, and united with 4000 Servians, commanded by Czerni George.
Accounts from Berlin of the 10th inst., that the hospitals there and at Magdeburg, are full of sick and wounded French, who arrive nightly by Waggons full. Contagious fevers and flux prevail to an alarming degree. The physicians are put in requisition.
The Russian army on the frontiers of Poland, amount to 350,000 men, and will be enlarged in January.
A passenger in the Ann-Jane, arrived at Philadelphia from Bordeaux, informs that Bonaparte was about assembling an army of 1,000,000 men—600,000 of whom he meant to leave in his rear, while he marched at the head of 400,000 to Russia, to settle his accounts with the Emperor Alexander.

WASHINGTON, FEB. 24.
MESSAGE FROM THE President of the United States, Transmitting a letter from the minister of the United States, at London on the subject of the negotiation; and a letter from the minister plenipotentiary at Paris relative to the late imperial decree;—also a letter from Cowles Mead, acting governor of the Mississippi territory respecting the surrender of Aaron Burr.
To the senate and house of representatives of the United States. I transmit to congress a letter from our minister plenipotentiary at London, informing us that they have agreed with the British commissioners to conclude a treaty, on all the points which had formed the object of their negotiation, and on terms which they trusted we should approve.
Also a letter from our minister plenipotentiary at Paris, covering one to him from the minister of marine of that government, assuring him that the imperial decree lately issued, was not to affect our commerce, which would still be governed by the rules of the treaty established between the two countries.
Also a letter from Cowles Mead, secretary of the Mississippi territory, acting as governor, informing us that Aaron Burr had surrendered himself to the civil authority of that territory.
TH: JEFFERSON. February 19th, 1807.
(COPY.) London, December 27 1806. SIR—We have the pleasure to acquaint you we have this day agreed with the British commissioners, to conclude a treaty on all points which have formed the object of our negotiation, and on terms which we trust our government will approve. It will require only a few days to reduce it to form. When that is done, we shall transmit it to you by a special messenger. We hasten to communicate to you this interesting intelligence, for the information and guidance of our government, in such measures as may have reference to the subject.
We have the honor to be, with great consideration and esteem, sir, Your most obedient servants, (Signed) JAMES MONROE, WM. PINKNEY. James Madison secretary of state, Washington.
Paris, 24th December, 1806. SIR—I have the honor of transmitting the copy enclosed, of a letter from his majesty's minister of marine and colonies, in answer to mine of the 10th instant, on the subject of the imperial decree of the 21st of November, 1806.
An additional explanation which it may be well to communicate, is, that neutral vessels coming from England or her colonies, into the ports of France, &c. since the date of the aforesaid decree, will not be received; and that if any person or persons, charged with the ship, or other vessel, and cargo, shall be detected in evading this regulation, by means of false declarations, they shall forfeit the said ship, or other vessel, and cargo.
I am, sir, With the highest respect, Your most obedient, and Very humble servant, (Signed) JOHN ARMSTRONG. Mr. Madison, Washington.
General Armstrong to the minister of marine and colonies.
The undersigned, minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America, has the honor of demanding from his excellency the minister of marine and colonies, the official explanation which may have been given to the imperial decree of the 21st of November 1806, so far as that decree involves the rights of neutral nations.
The undersigned would more particularly wish to be informed, whether by "British islands," mentioned in art. I. are to be understood all islands in the possession of his Britannic majesty, and islands merely, or, whether the rule will be so construed, as to extend the blockade to the continental possessions also, of his said majesty. [ Meaning India. ]
Whether it be meant that the decree shall operate from its date and that seizures made under it, before notice shall have been given, shall be considered legal?
Whether American vessels, navigating the high or narrow seas, shall be liable to seizure, on evidence only, that they are going to, or returning from, a port or ports of his Britannic majesty?
And whether the articles II. and V. shall operate only as domestic regulations, or whether their injudicious shall extend to citizens of foreign and independent nations?
His excellency, the minister of marine, is sufficiently aware of the interest of the United States, in the interpretation which shall be given to those articles, and will readily and justly appreciate the motives of the undersigned, in requesting that his excellency's answer may be given as promptly as possible.
The undersigned has the honor to renew, &c. &c. (Signed) JOHN ARMSTRONG.
[TRANSLATION.] PARIS, 24th Dec. 1806.
Mr. Minister Plenipotentiary, I hasten to answer the note you did me the honor to address to me, on the 20th of this month.
I consider the imperial decree of the 21st of November last, as, thus far, conveying no modification of the regulations at present observed in France, with regard to neutral navigators, nor consequently of the convention of the 30th of September, 1800, (8th Vendemaire, 9th year) with the United States of America.
But although by this answer, the four questions upon which your excellency has desired to know my opinion, have been implicitly resolved, I think, I can add,
1st. That the declaration expressed by the 1st article of the decree of the 21st November, not at all changing the present French laws concerning maritime captures, there is no reason for enquiring what interpretation, or restrictions, or extension may be given to this article.
2d. That seizures contrary to the present regulations concerning cruising, shall not be allowed to the captors.
3d. That an American vessel cannot be taken at sea, for the mere reason, that she is going to a port of England; or is returning from one, because conformably with the 7th article of the said decree, we are limited in France, nor to admit vessels coming from England or the English colonies.
4th. That the provisions of articles 2d and 5th of the said decree, naturally apply to foreign citizens domiciliated in France, or in the countries occupied by the troops of his majesty, the emperor and king, inasmuch as they have the character of a general law;—but that it will be proper that your excellency should communicate with the minister of exterior relations, as to what concerns the correspondence of the citizens of the United States of America with England.
The minister of marine and of the colonies. (Signed)
DECRES.
It will not escape gen. Armstrong, that my answers cannot give as ample development, as they would receive from the minister of exterior relations, and that it is naturally to him that he ought to address himself for these explanations, which I am very happy to give him, because he wishes them, but upon which I have much less positive information than the prince of Benevento.
(Signed) DECRETES. Faithfully translated, J. Wagner, chief clerk, department of state.
Extract of a letter from Cowles Mead secretary and acting governor of the Mississippi territory to the department of war, dated Washington, M. T. Jan 19th, 1807.
SIR—In obedience to your instructions by express, of the 20th of December last, I immediately, after proroguing the legislature, proceeded to put the territory in a state of preparation for the arrestation of the suspicious persons, and boats, which were contemplated therein. My militia were collected at particular points, on the river, when I received a letter from col. Burr, who had landed at Bayou Pierre, with nine boats and about one hundred men. This letter went to an avowal of his innocence of the charges which rumor and public apprehension had announced against him, and solicited me to appease the fears which his approach had begotten; at the same time he guarded me against the horrors of civil war, and the evils resulting from such a state of things, this seeming threat, induced me to adopt a different mode of conduct, from what the colonel might have expected; and instead of adopting his pacific admission, I ordered a very large portion of the militia of the territory to rendezvous at certain points, and wait further orders—with the promptitude of Spartans, our fellow citizens shouldered their firelocks, and in 24 hours, I had the honor to review 375 men at Natchez, prepared to defend their country. They were ordered under the command of colonel Claiborne, to a point on the river, about 21 miles above the city, there to remain to guard the river and intercept for inspection, all boats, that might defend the river. On the 15th, I dispatched two of my aids to colonel Burr, who had tendered his respect to the civil authority; these gentlemen engaged on my part to give the colonel an interview in the neighbourhood of the detachment stationed at the mouth of Cole's creek—conformably thereto I met the colonel on the 17th, and after a lengthy interview, he offered to surrender himself to the civil authority of the territory, and to suffer his boats to be searched—on the 18th, colonel Burr, accompanied by my aids, majors Shields and Pundexter, rode down to the place, and was committed to the highest tribunal of the civil authority, where he now remains for trial.
Four gentlemen of unquestionable respectability, with a detachment of 30 men, are now in the act of making the search of the boats, and to-morrow I expect their report.
"Thus, sir, this mighty alarm, with all its exaggerations, has evaporated in nine boats and one hundred men, and the major part of these are boys, or young men just from school. Many of their depredations have been taken before judge Rodney, but they bespeak ignorance of the views or designs of the colonel; I believe them really ignorant and deluded; I believe that they are the dopes of stragglers, if the allegations of generals Eaton and Wilkinson, are to be accredited."
House of Representatives of the U. S.
TUESDAY, FEB. 17.
A message was received from the Senate, stating that they had passed the bill authorizing the President of the U. S. to accept the service of a number of volunteer companies not exceeding 30,000 men; also an act further supplementary to the act entitled an act concerning the district of Columbia; and that they had agreed to all the amendments proposed by the House as to the bill to prohibit the importation of slaves, except the 9th amendment.
HABEAS CORPUS.
The House proceeded to consider the following resolution, offered by Mr. Broom: "Resolved, That it is expedient to make further provision by law, for the securing the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus to persons in custody, under, or by color of, the authority of the United States."—A warm debate ensued—From which the following minutes are extracted.
Mr. Broom. The writ of habeas corpus has been the proud theme of exaltation in England. It has been a wall of fire guarding them against the hand of arbitrary power.—It is one of the rights that distinguish us from other nations of Europe. In France a lettre de cachet has sent thousands to the walls of a prison for life. On account of the pope's bull called Unigenitus, fifty four thousand lettres de cachet were issued.
Mr. Broom here went into an examination of the privileges of the writ in England from the earliest time of that government. Not less important is it here, though it has been but little used or needed. What mode have we to prevent the exercise of arbitrary power, but by this writ?
He was led to these remarks from the late conduct of the commanding officer at Orleans. This privilege has been abused, not by an individual, in the usual way, but
by an officer of the general government—Tho' some may suppose there was need of this conduct, yet it should be remembered that good ends are not to be obtained by bad means.
If there has been a conspiracy, it is now, he trusted, at an end. Now is the time to make such legislative provisions as will secure us against further violation.
What is the remedy? The person who has been the subject of such violations, has recourse to a civil action; he must go into court and beg a jury to give him damages.
What recompence, or what certainty of any recompence would there be? He would have a law that should stare ruin in the face of every judge who should dare to refuse the granting of this writ, and every officer who should not obey the orders of one. No officer ought to be sheltered by pleading the orders of a superior command.
What has been the situation of the gentleman who was arrested at New Orleans, sent here, and after examination nothing being found against him, was set at liberty? What remuneration will or can be made? Whether innocent or criminal, the proceedings against him have been arbitrary and illegal. Let our country continue a government of laws; and when they are violated, let us interfere to secure and strengthen them. How often is a hue and cry made of a conspiracy, when those who cried loudest were the greatest conspirators. How in France? This writ ought to be so guarded as that its privileges shall never again be violated.
Mr. Broom wished the resolution referred to the committee of the whole.
Mr. Eppes. If the gentleman from Delaware is sincere, I am glad he has become a convert to democracy. He has not less hated of that arbitrary power of which he has spoken, than myself. But where was this zeal in former times? Who are now advocating these rights of man? The attorney general and the supporter of the sedition law and accuser of Fries, [Harper] Where was this zeal in 1798? Where when the alien bill and sedition bill were passed? The secret is, some gentlemen cannot bear to see a great and extensive conspiracy reduced without an army. 'Tis indeed anti-federal.
Mr. Eppes allowed that there had been a stretch of power, but the persons injured had their remedy in an impartial jury. It should appear that the commander in chief has been actuated only by proper motives, for one would vote to save him from harm, whenever damages might be awarded;—if it should appear that he was actuated by wanton and improper views, he was ready to act against him. He should vote the reference of the resolution to the committee of the whole.
Mr. Early. I shall vote against its reference to the committee of the whole, and against the resolution in every shape. It has a bearing on particular existing cases—This is not the time to have brought this forward. It cannot be definitively acted on this session.
Where is the evidence that the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus are insecure or insufficient? There is none. If its privileges have been violated, this circumstance does not prove that they are insecure; nor that recompence cannot be made the injured by referring to courts.
This resolution is intended to have an effect on the conduct of the commander of the army.—He no doubt, will be protected, and will you do now an act that shall have an influence in those judicial proceedings that may be instituted. If he has acted from improper motives, let him be punished; if from proper, a flame of gold ought to be awarded him. But, let the courts decide—It is not our province.
Mr. Jackson spoke a considerable time against the resolution as unnecessary. He also advocated the conduct of general Wilkinson.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 18.
The House considered the message of the Senate, stating their disagreement to the ninth amendment proposed by the House to the bill prohibiting the importation of slaves into the United States, determined to insist thereon; and appointed a Committee of Conference on their part.
The House resumed the consideration of Mr. Broom's resolution on the subject of the writ of Habeas Corpus.
The debate was resumed, and continued till near five o'clock.
The original motion to refer the resolution to a committee of the whole House was varied, and a motion offered to refer it to a select committee.
THURSDAY, FEB. 19.
Mr. J. Clay offered a new rule, in addition to the standing rules of the House, fixing the order in which business shall be done; ordered to lie on the table.
On motion of Mr. Varum the House determined for the remainder of the session to meet at 10 o'clock in the morning.
The House resumed the consideration of the resolution offered by Mr. Broom.
The debate was opened by Mr. Burwell, who advocated the reference of the resolution, and concluded by moving to amend it by inserting after the words states , the following words "and the necessity of defining the power of the Supreme Court of the U. S. in issuing a writ of Habeas Corpus."
This amendment was agreed to without debate—Ayes 76.
Mr. Quincey supported; and Messrs. Jackson, Bidwell and Gregg opposed the reference of the resolution to a select committee.—Mr. Gregg moved to postpone it indefinitely. This motion was supported by Messrs. Smilie, Eppes, Elmer & Sloan; and opposed by Messrs. Newton, J. Randolph, Elliot, J. Clay and Kelly. When the question was taken at 5 o'clock, by yeas and nays, on the indefinite postponement, and carried in the affirmative, yeas 60 nays 58.
In the Senate of the United States on Tuesday February 16, Dr. Logan observed, that he had for some time viewed with anxiety the continued deprecations committed on the commerce of the United States by the belligerent powers of Europe, by which our mercantile capital had suffered a loss of millions, and our national character was degraded. He considered this lamentable situation of our commerce to arise from the bounty, in the form of a drawback, given by government to encourage the carrying trade, by which our merchants were led into un-
necessary conflicts with foreign nations—it therefore moved that a committee be appointed to consider the propriety of repealing so much of any act as allows a drawback on goods, wares, and merchandise exported out of the United States, and that such committee be instructed to report by bill or otherwise.
On the 7th the reports and ordinary business of the day having been disposed of, the Senate took up the bill from the house of Representatives, for repealing the duty on salt, and for continuing in force the 13 per cent. additional for the Mediterranean fund. Dr. Mitchell made a speech against the bill until the hour of adjournment.
On the day following, the same bill being again under consideration. Mr. Maclay spoke at length in favor of the bill, and in answer to Mr. Mitchell. After him in the course of the debate, Messrs. Bradley, Smith of Md. Adams and Hailboute argued against the bill. And Mr. Moore delivered his sentiments in its favor.
On the 19th, the question was taken on the two full sections of the bill, and carried to strike them out—Ayes 17, Nays 15. Afterwards on motion of Mr. Bradley, a substitute was offered and agreed to, repealing the duty of 8 cents, as imposed in 1797, from the 1st of July next. And gen. Smith moved an amendment, which was carried for shortening the continuance of the bill from the end of the next session of Congress to the 1st of Dec. next. In this form the bill has passed to a third reading.
The bill repealing seizures made under the authority of the United States, &c. was referred to a select committee.
Bollman and Swartwout have been discharged by the Supreme Court.
The House of Representatives of the United States appropriated on the 21st inst. 150,000 dollars for gun-boats, and the same sum for fortifications.
Yesterday was an important one—and fraught with joyful intelligence. In the morning we received the accounts of our differences having been honorably adjusted with Great Britain, and that the French ships had received orders to respect our neutral trade. In the evening intelligence arrived that Col. Burr had delivered himself up to the civil authority at Natchez. Thus, with the exception of some adjustments yet to be made with Spain, the political horizon of America appears at present without a cloud to interrupt the sunshine of her prosperity. [ Phil. Freeman's Journal. ]
The 4th and 5th of March—Yesterday the anniversary of the Fourth of March was celebrated in this and the neighboring towns, by a discharge of artillery. The contrast between THIS DAY, (the FIFTH OF MARCH) in the American annals, and that of the FOURTH, must be striking to every Republican; for while the former brings to our remembrance the MASSACRE IN STATE-STREET, the latter leads us to the reflection of the INAUGURATION of our beloved PRESIDENT.

LATE and important Foreign intelligence will be found in this days Gazette, by recent arrivals.
A grand jury at New Orleans has presented general Wilkinson's arrests as acts of public oppression.
Had general Wilkinson not made the arrests, he would have been stigmatized as a perfidious traitor, perhaps by the general sentiment of the country.
The treaty between the United States and Great-Britain, has arrived at New-York and is now probably in Washington.
An Extract of a letter from Washington, dated Feb. 18, says, "Notwithstanding the criminality of Burr and his associates, it is a fact, that Federalism is engaged, zealously engaged, in obtaining the release of Bollman and Swartwout, and some of them go so far as to declare, that they consider Burr not only innocent, and possessing pure intentions and motives, but declare that they think that our country has sustained a great loss by Burr being driven from our service. In fact I am thoroughly convinced that Federalism and Burrism are closely and inseparably connected; and that any measure which is calculated to destroy our government, or disturb our peace and prosperity under the present administration, will be supported by both. Is it possible that the people of the United States, will any longer attach themselves to a party who nurse and encourage treason, and the destruction of our Country; I hope not, I hope in God that, aside from party names, the people will judge correctly and impartially, coolly, and with unbiased minds of the doings and measures of all parties, or rather of the two parties, Republicans on the one hand, and Federalism and Burrism on the other; if they will do this, I am convinced the leaders of Federalism and Burrism will be left with but few followers, for the honest but deceived part of our citizens, have no interest in the destruction of our Government and misery of our Country."
THIS DAY, being the anniversary election of State Officers, the PEOPLE are truely, will assemble and make choice of suitable men to represent them in the next General Court.
A person of observation cannot but be surprised at the seeming indifference with which politics is now regarded in this state, especially when he reverts to the warmth they excited two or three years ago. Now the subject is scarce mentioned, which then engaged the conversation of all. Federalists, who were then hot, enthusiastic, and even raving, are now as peaceable as kittens. They are no longer heard spouting in grog shops, nor thundering their anathemas against the poor laborer, who had the audacity to prefer the decisions of his own conscience, to the dictates of aristocrats, and to act accordingly, in bestowing his suffrage.
What can be the cause of this change in the conduct of the federalists? Can it be a conviction that our republican rulers will promote the happiness of the people?—No—for if that were their conviction, they would oppose them, if their opposition would remove them from office. Can it be a belief that they are irrecoverably defeated?—No—puffed up with a conviction that they embody ALL the pride, ALL the talents, and ALL the wealth in the union, they cannot suffer such a belief to be entertained for a moment. The real cause is a desire to lull their opponents to rest—to persuade them there is no cause for fear, no necessity for watchfulness or exertion—that they may once more obtain the ascendancy by a sudden display of their strength, or by attaching themselves to disappointed republicans and such as they can by their cunning arts delude. [Observatory.]
¶ We are authorized to say that Mr. CHARLES PEIRCE declines being considered a candidate for representative to the General Court.
The British agents cannot avoid showing the cloven foot —they now exult under the impression that Mr. Jefferson will not serve again as president—and align motives for this determination that belie their former attacks:—we shall bye and bye perhaps hear them returning to the old song —formerly love of money and power induced him to agree to the general calls of the country; now they say he will not serve again thro' fear of the blockade system. we repeat it, they will change their song once more. [Aurora.]
Fires—The parsonage house, on Edisto Island, (S. C.) has been consumed by fire; and the Rev. Mr. M'Leod, and his two little daughters perished in the flames.—In Newark, (N. J.) the house of Messrs. Beach and Vauterpool, consumed; a girl aged 10 years perished.
The battle of Czarnowo, that of Nasielefsk, that of Kursk, the affair of cavalry at Lopaczyn have been followed by the battles of Golymin and Pultusk—and the entire and precipitate retreat of the Russian armies HAS TERMINATED BOTH THE YEAR AND THE CAMPAIGN. BATTLE OF PULTUSK.
Marshal Lannes could not arrive opposite Pultusk before the morning of the 26th. All the corps of Benningsen were concentrated in the night.—The Russian Division which had been beat at Nasielefsk, and pursued by the 3d division, commanded by Marshal Davoust, entered the camp of Pultusk two hours after midnight. At ten o'clock Marshal Lannes attacked, having Suchet's division in the first line, that of Gazan in the second, and that of Gudin in the third division of the army commanded by Gen. Daultana, upon his left.
The combat was spirited. After a few struggles, the enemy was overpowered. The 17th Regiment of light infantry, and the 34th, covered themselves with glory. Generals Vedel and Claparede were wounded. Gen. Treillard, commanding the light cavalry of the army, Gen. Bouffard, commanding a brigade of the division of the dragoons of Beker, Colonel Barthelemy of the 15th regiment of dragoons, were wounded by grape shot. Voisin, aid to Marshal Lannes, and Crial, aid to Gen. Suchet, both fell with glory.
Marshal Lannes was slightly touched with a ball. The 5th corps of the army here exhibited what brave men are able to perform, and the immense superiority of the French Infantry over that of other nations. Marshal Lannes, although he had been for ten days sick would follow his corps. The 8th regiment sustained many charges of the enemy's cavalry, with coolness and success. The enemy the same night sounded a retreat and retired to Ostrodenka.
BATTLE OF GOLYMIN.
While the corps of Benningsen was at Pultusk and beaten there, that of Buxho Uden joined Golymin at night. The Division Panin of this corps which had been attacked the evening before by the Grand Duke of Berg, another division which had been beaten at Nasielefsk arrived by different routes at the camp of Golymin.
Marshal Davoust, who pursued the enemy from Nasielefsk, came up with, charged them and chased them from a wood near the camp of Golymin.
At the same time Marshal Angereau, arriving at Golaczima took the enemy in flank. The General of brigade, Lapine, with the 16th light infantry, carried at the point of the bayonet a village which served as a point of support to the enemy. The division of Hendlait displayed and marched for it. Three hours after noon the fire was the hottest. The Grand Duke of Berg executed with the greatest success many charges in which Klein's division of dragoons distinguished themselves. Notwithstanding evening came on too soon, the combat continued till eleven at night. The enemy retreated in disorder, leaving their artillery, bag and baggage, and many dead. All the enemy's columns retired to Ostrodenka.
Gen. Fenerolle, commanding a brigade of dragoons was killed. The intrepid Gen. Rapp, the Emperor's aid du camp, was wounded at the head of a division of dragoons. Col. Simile, of the brave 24th of the line, was wounded. Marshal Angereau had a horse killed under him.
Nevertheless Marshal Soult, with his corps had already arrived at Moladeczn, two leagues from Makow; but the badness of the roads, from the rains and thaws, retarded his march and saved the Russian army, of which, without this accident not a man would have escaped. The good fortune of the army of Benigsen and that of Buxhoeden would have terminated on the other side of the Orecy; but all the intended movements were defeated by the thaws, which caused the artillery to be two days in making 3 leagues.
Altogether, the Russians have lost 80 pieces of cannon, all their waggons, more than 1200 baggage carriages; 12,000 men killed, wounded or made prisoners. The movements of the French and Russian columns, will be an object of curiosity for military men, when they are traced upon the map. They will then see upon how slender a thread hung the capture or annihilation of this army, and all the effect of a single fault committed by the Russian General.
We have lost 800 men killed, and have had 2000 wounded. At length, finding himself master of the enemy's artillery, and all their positions, and having driven them more than forty leagues, the Emperor has ordered his army into winter quarters.
Before this expedition, the Russian officers declared, that they had 150,000 men. Now they do not pretend to reckon half that number. Shall we believe their report before the battle or after it?
GAZETTE MARINE LIST.
The severe S.E. storm of Saturday evening the 28th ult. did great damage. In Salem, 3 ich's bilged: Ich. Little Sarah, Saunders, of Wiscasset, from Martinique for Boston, went upon Cat Island, her fore-mast went through her bottom, and the capt. took, and another man perished; a Newburyport Ich. bilged; a brig from the W. Indies, belonging to Col. Peabody, of Newburyport, went ashore at Woodbury cove, Beverly, but without much damage.
The ship Howard, belonging to Wm. Gray, Esq. of Salem, commanded by Capt. Benjamin Bray, of Marblehead, was wrecked on Eastern Point, near Gloucester, and bilged immediately: The captain, second mate (Mr. Isaiah Leeds) and two seamen (Alexander Sylvester, an Italian, and Charles Wilson, a Swede) were drowned. The ship was from Calcutta, with a valuable cargo; she had on board 200 bales cotton, besides sugars, &c. and will be nearly a total loss.
OUR GOOD FRIENDS.
Schooner Franklin, Smith, from Cadiz, failed December 31—in lat. 25. long. 61, was boarded by the British ship of war Squirrel, who, after detaining captain Smith two hours, breaking open eleven letters, keeping five, and giving him a great deal of bad language, dismissed him. February 8, in lat. 39. long. 69, spoke Schooner Amelia, (of Philadelphia) from New-York for St. Thomas, out 3 days—had carried away the head of her main-mast.
Arrived, ship Pomona, Adams 170 days from Calcutta and 104 from the Ill: of France. January 29, in lat. 33. long. 45, hove to for the British fleet off Bermuda—the sailing master came on board, and ordered capt. A. on board the Bermuda, with the ship's papers of every description, with the seamen's protections, which he referred, in order to examine the crew. The captain was detained on board the Bermuda until near 3 o'clock, during which time the papers were examined very strictly. A packet of letters taken on board at the Ill: of France, were all opened. The ship's papers were all returned, and the first lieutenant came on board the Pomona with capt. A. having conversed with the sailing master, soon fixed upon 3 men, whom they ordered into the boat, and impressed.
Newburyport paper.
The fact of a Commercial Treaty with Great Britain is now put beyond all dispute. Our Ministers Plenipotentiary, Monroe and Pinkney, agreed to sign on the 27th Dec. and their letter to the Secretary of State assures him that all the points in controversy had been settled, and they seem to expect that the terms are such as will give satisfaction. It has been long known in the United States, that the only material point unadjusted, was the impressment of seamen: Our ministers uniformly insisting that the flag should give protection to all who sail under it, while the British commissioners urged their right to stop an American vessel at sea, and to impress any part of her crew deemed by their naval commanders to be British subjects. A claim so improper never could have been agreed to; and there is the best founded hope that our ministers have finally succeeded in their efforts on this head. If so, the Seamen of the United States will feel themselves safe while they navigate the ocean, and they will have sufficient cause for congratulation. They will indeed hail the name of Jefferson with the strongest emotions of pleasure. In eradicating an evil of a magnitude so gigantic, in inducing the British Government to abandon impressments of seamen on board American vessels, and making her return to a liberal intercourse and interchange of good offices on the trackless ocean, is doing more for humanity than the abolition of the slave trade would be, if it was effected to morrow.
Mr. Jefferson, to have gained so much for his country, without a war, will be entitled to something more than a statue of gold, and his future biographer will call this the brightest diamond in the crown of honors he has so richly earned in a life solely devoted to the service of his fellow citizens. [Salem Register.]
.....DIED.....
In this town, on Wednesday last, of a lingering illness, which he endured with becoming patience and resignation, Mr. JONATHAN GODDARD, merchant, aged 37,—a son, brother, husband, parent and friend, few have exhibited examples more worthy of imitation. He lived highly esteemed by all who knew him, and we believe his death is universally and most sincerely lamented. At Kittery, Mrs. Dorcas Kennard, aged 87, her descendants were 67.

To the Public.
WHEREAS an unfavorable opinion has gone abroad, that the Associated Mechanics and Manufacturers of the State of New-Hampshire have Political views and ends in their association. The President and Board of Trustees, have deemed it expedient to state to the Public, that every thing of a Political or Religious nature is totally disavowed by them as a body, but as individuals, they have an undoubted right to act in their separate capacities, and to enjoy those privileges of a political and Religious kind, which the God of Nature and Nations has given them.—But the foundation of the association, was for the important purposes expressed in their Constitution, viz. "To reward industry, foster habits, and fidelity,—encourage the ingenious; reward the faithful; assist unfortunate brethren; and help necessitous widows and orphans of deceased members of the institution." And as our constitution expresses, so every member is bound to adhere thereto, viz. "ART. III. Sec. 4. As this Association is forming for the sole purpose of promoting the Mechanic arts, and extending the practice of benevolence, the introduction of POLITICAL or RELIGIOUS questions, shall always be considered as deviations from order, and as INCONSISTENT with our laudable institution."
Therefore the President and Board, wishing to do away the unfavorable stigma which has gone abroad respecting the association's being a political combination, have deemed it expedient to make this statement to the Public, hoping it may have the desired effect.

The Duties of Married Females.
"NEGLECT not," says an author, "the little arts of endearment, but let the charms which captivated the lover, secure the attachment of the husband."
The motion of a passion, founded on esteem and love, are regular and lasting; its elegance consists in purity, and its transports are the result of virtue and reason. The three great pillars, that are the support of females, are virtue, innocence and modesty. Nothing is more spotless, for the least speck is visible on the fallen snow. If we take a view of conjugal love, vested in all its native beauties, we must be persuaded that the pleasures of it far surpass a single life, and whatever is delightful in human nature, centres in matrimony. What delight must a well disposed female take, in conversing with the worthy object she has chosen, and under whose protection she has put herself, till death breaks the chain. All the delights of friendship, all the sweets of life, terminate in marriage. The greatest felicity we can desire in this life, is contentment. If we aim at any thing higher, we shall be greatly disappointed. A wife must endeavour to attain this essential virtue. It adds all the softness and endearments of refined love in this state; without it, her life would be uneasy, her pleasure insipid. Happy and contented with ourselves, calling a pleasing smile on our friends and acquaintance, we show to the world a breast at peace within itself. To render the married state more happy, the wife ought to make herself as amiable in the eyes of the husband, as it is in her power; the pains she took to charm him before marriage, ought to be redoubled now; to render his home agreeable to him, to receive him with open arms and cheerful looks. From the day they left the altar of Hymen, wretchedness or felicity is placed in their own hands. It is at their option to be happy or miserable. They become from that period a little world of their own: a society consisting of love, mutually connected with love.
"The seasons thus, As ceaseless round a jarring world they roll, Still find them happy; Till evening comes at last, serene and mild; Together down they sink in social sleep; Together freed, their gentle spirits fly To scenes where love and bliss immortal reign."

A celebrated writer who was in Paris in 1790 says, "the Petites Affiches de Paris, [Little bills stuck up] of which abundance came out daily, scarcely ever fail of producing something worthy of observation," &c.
He has preserved the following couplet, of the day on which he wrote—
O Bonheur! O Chimere! en vain l'homme implore
Helas! pour être heureux, ses vœux sont superflus.
En espérant, il ne s'est pas encore, En jouissant il ne s'est déjà plus.
The general meaning of which I have endeavored to give in the following paraphrase—
O vain pursuit of Happiness, which flies From restless man, who would secure the prize.
Hope follows hard, but cannot touch the boon.
Enjoyment grasps it—And the phantom's gone.
An elderly lady expressing her surprise at the present fashions, observed that there was now no display of dress, as the costume of the present day only tended to show the shape, not to set off the attire; and wondered that the ladies should ever have relinquished their former habiliments of whale-bone hoops and stiff brocade, for muslin dresses like tinder. A gentleman remarked, that was probably done with a view to catch the spark.
THE ARABIAN TEACHER.
An Arabian being asked of whom he learnt virtue?—Of the bad, he replied, for their wickedness inspired me with a detestation of vice.

REV. MR. ALDEN'S ACADEMY AT PORTSMOUTH FOR MASTERS AND MISSES.
THE object of this institution is to teach, in separate apartments, both sexes in the same branches, which are usually taught at the most noted academies in the United States; so that the masters may have opportunity to prepare for the counting room or for college, and the misses for acquiring such an education, as to preclude the necessity of going abroad for that purpose.
As much time is reserved for vacations, and as much also is devoted to the business of instruction, as is customary at other academies.
EVERY pupil, who has never been under MR. ALDEN's tuition, pays one dollar at entrance.
THE masters pay seven dollars a quarter.
THE misses, who attend to the instructions of the preceptor and to common needlework, pay six dollars a quarter. Those who attend to the ornamental branches of needlework, pay the additional sum of a dollar, that is, seven dollars a quarter.
EACH pupil pays twenty five cents for room rent.
THOSE, who wish to take lessons on the pianoforte can receive instructions from MR. HOLYOKE by paying three dollars, at entrance, and fifty cents a lesson.
MR. ALDEN has two keyed instruments, of which his pupils can have the use, at three dollars a quarter.

A preceptress, of the desired accomplishments and of experience, has been engaged for the summer establishment, which commences on the fourteenth of April.
