From the Charleston Courier.
IF the political opinions of the anti-federalists were even such as we could approve; if their measures were such as we could think salutary, and their conduct, as it respects the government of the country were such as we thought unexceptionable, there is in the morals, the manners—the hearts in short of the far greater number of their servitors, advocates, and literary agents, an inveterate badness, that would tarnish the lustre of the best actions of the party; a cankerworm of injustice, falsehood and detraction, more pernicious to private intercourse, more injurious to public decorum, than all the political good they could do, if ever so willing, would counterbalance. Success, which is the surest test of the heart, renders them more tyrannical and malignant. The tricks, the falsehoods and the unworthy machinations which they have so successfully played off and made a ladder to power; now when they have got that power, they continue, out of useless depravity, sinning without any other object than sin. Injuring others without the excuse of self-interest to plead in extenuation of their crime, as if malevolence were in them like hunger, thirst, and the natural calls of the body for refection, a matter of physical necessity, the demands of which they must either supply, or perish of inanition. Now when their ravening maws might be supposed sufficiently glutted with the slaughter of their prey; now when they have driven off with their howlings, all who escaped with life from their talons and their teeth, like vultures they begrimed their beaks with the dead, and like the hyena and the jackall tear up from the graves the putrified carcasses of their old worn out fabrications to gorge and sate their foul and filthy appetites.
We have had occasion several times within the short space of the Courier's existence, to call the public attention to the repeated attacks made upon Mr. Timothy Pickering, in those anti-federal prints, which we denominate purely jacobinical. The circumstance upon which those attacks are founded, the length of time which has elapsed since it took place, the forwardness with which that gentleman met or rather courted inquiry, and the neglect of that party to have the matter investigated, form altogether a tissue of circumstances which would forbid any thing short of consummate depravity and impudence from overhauling the subject so often, and so ineffectually. Mr. Pickering, accused by them of being a public defaulter, stands forth in defiance, and says to them, "investigate and prove before you brand my fame." A committee is appointed to do so, but nothing is done. Four years elapse, and his accusers take no other step towards making good their charge, than those most suitable to their views, and most congenial to their morals, manners and feelings; foul newspaper calumnies, in which they persevere with an obstinacy and effrontery that the most vicious and impudent might blush to own. A rational and an honest man would argue thus—"Either Mr. Pickering is guilty or he is not. If he is guilty, it is a gross misdemeanor in you gentlemen, who accuse him, not to follow your accusation up to the execution of law and justice. If he is not guilty, your calumnies are base, unpardonable, infamous. No proposition in Euclid is more capable of demonstration than this. Then why do they not bring the man to trial, or cease to calumniate?" But this would not answer their dishonest purposes. Mr. Pickering's character is too good to be left unblasted; it is an eye-sore, a standing offence to them all. There is a superabundance, a plethora of good in it, which those political Sangradoes think it necessary to the maintenance of their own professed quackery, to take away by occasional bleeding. A trial they know would put the thing for ever at rest, and the acquittal of Mr. Pickering would deprive them of all pretext, even such miserable pretext as they are willing to found a calumny upon, for censure. And thus the character of Mr. Pickering would stand a perpetual shame to their faces; a perpetual terror to their hearts. Shall we hear any more of this? Shall we again be obliged to flay those accusers alive; to cut them up and shew what things they are which throb under their ribs, in the place of hearts!
Judge Chase is another butt for the calumny of those poisoners. We believe that there is no country under Heaven, but this, where a man under impeachment would be allowed to be vilified with impunity. Libelling a man while under impeachment, no matter whether truly or falsely, is poisoning the fountain of justice. Aye, Judge Chase is impeached, and he is publicly vilified for the very purpose of malignantly influencing his judges. He committed a mortal offence, never, never to be
forgiven by the party, when he exercised the authority entrusted to him, to punish the traitors and insurgents who rose against the constituted authorities on the whiskey tax. And these pure and wise personages with their accustomed honesty lay to that gentleman no less a charge than that of wishing to hang a man without a hearing, merely because he exercised to the best of his judgment the duties of his function. A wish that a villain should be hanged will often become the inmate of the best heart, without the intervention of the will, or the deliberate suggestions of the judgment. What day passes over our heads, on which we do not see such atrocious deeds, such mischievous actions, such malevolent designs, and wishes as compel a good heart to cry Hang him up! Hang him up! The sentiment however is soon corrected by the judgment, which forbids to punish without guilt, and to adjudge guilty without trial and proof. Perhaps Judge Chase might in common with every sensible and honest man in the country, in the first ebullitions of his patriotic feelings conceive that insurgents and traitors ought to be hanged. But it is the utmost refinement upon cruelty, injustice and indecency, to say that a judge exercising his reason in the decision of a dubious point of law, is guilty of wishing to hang a man because the law as it appears to him happens to be unfavourable to the culprit.
For our parts, we wish to see the press cleansed from those foul pollutions. And we conceive that that must be the wish of every man who desires to see his country rather than a faction thrive. But whatever we may wish, we do not hope it. When the power of making laws is in the hands of kites and crows, we hope like madmen if we expect to see laws enacted against bloodshedding and prey; and in the hearts of foul calumniators no amendment can be expected. If they were offered Heaven as the reward of cleansing their bosoms of their natural venom, they would rather endure the eternal torments of hell than cheat their hearts of one throb of malice. The canker is too obstinately fixed in the composition of the men, to be removed—the superficial coat of paint which colours only the external may be scraped away; but the dye which nature has diffused essentially and in grain through the material, never can be removed, till the material itself rots and vanishes.
LANCASTER, March 24.
The following is a copy of judge Brackenridge's letter read in the house of Representatives yesterday, and which no doubt will much excite the public attention—
"Philadelphia, March 22, 1804.
"To the Honorable the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania.
"SIR, "I have seen a report of the honorable the House of Representatives, on the complaint of Thomas Passmore against all the judges of the supreme court of this state, myself excepted, for a judgement on an attachment against the said Passmore on an alleged contempt of the administration of justice, and which report your honorable House has adopted, and proceeded to act upon it. I was not upon the bench when the motion was made for a rule to show cause in this case, why an attachment should not issue, the motion having been made on the last day of September term, 1802, when I had left the city on account of the yellow fever which had begun to prevail, and the motion having been heard before the judges residing in the city or near it, and who met on that day for the purpose of hearing motions only, nor was I on the bench when the arguments on the facts of the case and the law, took place, and the rule for the attachment was made absolute having returned from a special court at the county of Northumberland by the way of Carlisle, the place of my residence, and by a few days intervening, so that I did not take my place on the bench until some days after the beginning of the term, but I was present on the third and last hearing of the case when some additional evidence was given and observations made; the presumption may have been that I did not take a part, and doubtless I might reasonably have excused myself; but I cannot say that I did not take a part, I gave the case all the consideration I could at the time, and three fourths of the court who had heard all, declaring themselves fully satisfied, I saw no reason to warrant a dissent, but concurred; I cannot therefore distinguish my case in law from that of the other judges, and in honor I would not; I am far from avoiding or courting a prosecution, but am unwilling to incur the imputation of screening myself when in strictness equally liable, but I think it absolutely necessary for the credit of the republican administration that I should not be distinguished; as there can be no stronger evidence than a man's own acknowledgment the House will find no difficulty in a resolution to add my name to the list of impeached officers.
"With the highest respect for the honorable House, and you their speaker.
"I am Sir, your most obedient
"Humble servant,
(Signed) H. H. BRACKENRIDGE"
"The committee to whom was referred the letter signed H. H. Brackenridge, addressed to the honorable Simon Sayde, Speaker of the House of Representatives,
"REPORT,
"That they have had the letter referred to them under consideration, and it appears, from the deposition of Collinson Read, Esquire, that it is from Hugh Henry Brackenridge, Esquire, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of this commonwealth; a copy of which deposition is hereunto annexed.
"The committee, after mature deliberation, are of opinion, that the name of Mr. Brackenridge cannot, with propriety, be added to the list of impeached officers, inasmuch as his acknowledgment of concurring in the judgement pronounced against Thomas Passmore, is unequivocal and ambiguous upon which to predicate an accusation of a high misdemeanor in office; and moreover, it does not appear, from the testimony of any of the witnesses examined in the case of Passmore against the other judges of the supreme court, that judge Brackenridge was on the bench at the time the sentence was pronounced. The letter, however, evinces a neglect of his duty, by frequently deserting his seat on the bench, which ought not to pass unnoticed by the legislature; but what is more extraordinary (and the committee feel indignant at the idea) it contains evidence of a premeditated insult to the House, by insinuating, in a manner neither to be mistaken nor palliated, that the House was acted, in their proceedings against the other judges, by party motives; such unfounded and unwarrantable insinuations (and more especially by a citizen to whom a trust of administering the law is confined) must naturally tend to generate suspicion among our constituents that the laws are the offspring of corruption or caprice, and not framed by the independent and unbiased will of their Representatives; whereby the confidence of their government might be impaired, and the peace and harmony of the citizens destroyed.
"Though the committee are of the opinion, that there is no sufficient evidence to support an impeachment against him, they believe, nevertheless, that he is not a proper person to discharge the important functions of a judge, and that a reasonable cause exists for the constitution, at interposition of this House for his removal from office: they therefore submit the following resolution:—
"Resolved, That a committee be appointed to draft an address to the Governor to remove Hugh Henry Brackenridge, one of the judges of the supreme court of this commonwealth from office.
"The foregoing resolution was agreed to by the House of Representatives, Yeas 54—Nays 24."
NEW YORK, March 23.
Captain Hammond, of the frigate Aurora, who arrived here yesterday from Salou, stopped at Gibraltar 36 days since, for 4 hours; during which time the American consul at that place made up dispatches for our government, which were yesterday forwarded. The consul informed captain Hammond, that there was a French squadron lying out at Toulon, the destination of which was kept a profound secret.
The following circular was received by the brig New York; we believe it never has been published in any paper on this continent.
UNITED STATES COMMERCIAL AGENCY, BORDEAUX.
The undersigned commercial agent of the United States of America, for the port and district of Bordeaux, thinks it his duty to state to his fellow citizens residing in this city, many of whom are not acquainted with the existing laws of their country, have purchased and are now engaged in fitting out several American vessels, whose papers are deposited in this office: That he shall strictly adhere to the second section of the law passed the second session of the second congress of the United States, entitled: "An act concerning the registering and recording of ships or vessels," which section declares, "That no ship or vessel shall be entitled to a register or the benefits thereof if owned in whole or in part by any citizen of the United States, who usually resides in a foreign country, unless such citizen be in the capacity of a consul of the United States or an agent for a partner in some house of trade, or copartner ship, consisting of citizens of the United States actually carrying on trade within the fame."
And as many of the American vessels which have been transferred to foreigners, have returned here under French and Spanish colors, and are now fitting under their former American papers which have never been given up, such vessels, if they attempt to leave this river, will be seized and detained by the undersigned until the judgement of some competent jurisdiction, or the decision of the government of the United States shall be had thereon, agreeably to the 27th section of the above law, which enacts: "That if any certificate or record, shall be fraudulently or knowingly used for any ship or vessel not actually entitled to the benefit thereof according to the tenor of this act, such ship or vessel shall be forfeited to the United States, with her tackle, apparel and furniture."
And also in conformity with an act passed the first session of the fifth congress, entitled an act

In addition to the above, which enacts, "That no ship or vessel which has been or shall be re-registered, pursuant to any law of the United States, and which hereafter shall be seized or captured, and condemned under the authority of any foreign power, or that shall by sale become the property of a foreigner or foreigners, shall after the passing of this act, be entitled to, or capable of receiving a new register, notwithstanding such a ship or vessel should afterwards become American property; but that all such ships and vessels shall be taken and considered, to all intents and purposes, as foreign vessels."
Provided that nothing contained in this act shall extend to, or be construed to affect the person or persons owning any ship or vessel at the time of seizure or capture of the same, or shall prevent such owner, in case he regains a property in such ship or vessel so condemned, by purchase or otherwise, from claiming and receiving a new register for the same, as he might or could have done, if this act had not been passed."
And further, as several citizens of the United States have purchased foreign vessels under the expectation of procuring consular certificates for the same, the undersigned makes known to them that pursuant to the instructions from his government, no such vessel can obtain a certificate unless owned in whole by citizens of the United States not usually residing abroad, or are purchased on account of such citizens by agents properly authorized, and the certificate will be limited to the return of the vessel to the U. States, and her destination to some one port specified therein.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4.
Extract of a letter from Dumfries, dated Monday 4 o'clock, P. M. The Poll is this moment closed—Kemp has a majority of 82 over Hunter—Mr. William Grayson the other candidate, declined before the Poll was opened. Although the majority is not great, it will nevertheless be absolutely necessary that Hunter's friends should turn out to a man, to place his election beyond the reach of accident—Foster and Tyler are elected for the county.
Capt. Geddes, who arrived at Charleston the 20th ult. from St. Jago, on the 18th inst. off South Edisto, spoke a schooner, 73 days from Gibraltar, bound to Georgetown, S. C. Mr. Gadsden, of the United States navy, was a passenger, with dispatches for government, from the American squadron in the Mediterranean. Mr. Gadsden informed captain Geddes, that the United States frigate Philadelphia, capt. Bainbridge, was driven ashore near Tripoli on the 18th November, in a severe gale of wind. All the crew were made prisoners by the Tripolitans. The captain of the schooner from Gibraltar, informed capt. Geddes, that there was an expectation of a war between England and Portugal, and that the Portuguese squadron left Gibraltar the day before he failed.
Kingston, February 18. The schooner Content, capt. Richard Watson, from Charleston bound to this port (out 10 days,) was taken in the afternoon of the 8th inst. off Mole St. Nicholas, by a French schooner privateer, of 10 guns and 60 men, from Porto Rico, which put on board a prize master, with four white men and a negro, with directions to proceed with the prize to that island. Capt. Watson having been allowed to remain on board the Content, that they might avail themselves of his nautical skill in the safe conduct of the prize, formed the design of recapturing her with the assistance of two black seamen, part of the Content's crew, who had been also detained. This he very gallantly put in execution on the evening of the 10th, in the following manner: Having two pistols concealed below his jacket, he came on deck, and with the butt end of one of them knocked down one of the two Frenchmen who were placed as centinels with fixed bayonets, at the cabin door, he immediately did the same kind office for his companion, before the other had recovered himself. He then, with much presence of mind, took the bayonets off the muskets, which latter he threw overboard, and placing the two black men as a guard at the door, went forward to the head of the vessel, and secured two others, who being defenceless, suffered themselves, with little difficulty, to be pinned and confined.—He afterwards battened down the hatches on the remaining two, who were below rummaging the cargo, and, altering the course of the vessel, steered for this island, which he made on Sunday last, and in the evening brought her safe into Port Antonio.
Mr. Peter M c Leod, merchant of this city, and owner of the Content, with a passenger, were detained on board the privateer.
It is to be hoped that the gallant exertions of captain Watson will be attended to by the underwriters on the vessel, and that they will meet with the reward that such distinguished conduct merits; the law we understand, not adjudging salvage in a case of this nature to the re-captor. After his arrival from Port Antonio, on Tuesday last, he waited on Admiral Duckworth, who was pleased to compliment him in very high terms, on the laudable zeal and bravery he displayed on this occasion in behalf of the Underwriters. (Charleston Paper.)
To the VOTERS of the Second Ward. Having been under a conviction that the late election would have terminated differently, if all illegal votes had been rejected by the commissioners, and believing that two at least of the members returned were not bona fide the choice of the majority of those who were entitled to vote, I deemed it my duty to contest that election, and the result has fully justified my conduct. Considerations other than those of a personal nature have directed my views on this occasion, and as a small testimony in support of this declaration, I hereby announce my desire of being discontinued in the nomination for the ensuing election. To that portion of my fellow citizens of the second ward whose votes so recently offered me the strongest evidences of their confidence, I offer my sincere acknowledgments. DENNIS RAMSAY. April 4.
The abject condition of the once great and "United Provinces," is demonstrated in the state of their press, which is compelled to eulogise Bonaparte and his partisans, whom they detest, and to condemn the persons and measures they most approve of. A proof sheet of every new work, newspaper, or otherwise, is required to be submitted to the French resident or commissary of each place before it is permitted to be published; and in the event of his disapproval, whether from policy, caprice, or an insatiate thirst for plunder, it is suppressed without even the form of appeal. From some of these causes Rotterdam has lately been deprived for ten days of a newspaper of great and extensive circulation. (London paper.)
ORIGINAL ANECDOTE.
A celebrated Lawyer in this state, riding through a country town, stopped at a cottage to inquire his way:—the old woman of the house told him he must keep on straight for some way, and then turn to the right; but said that she herself was a going to pass the road that he must take, and that if he would wait a few moments till she could get her horse ready, she would shew him the way. "Well (said he) bad company is better than none—make haste."—After jogging on 5 or 6 miles, the gentleman asked if they had not yet come to the road that he must take:—Oh yes (said she) we passed it two or three miles back; but I thought bad company better than none, so I kept you along with me! (Salem Gazette.)
