From the REPERTORY.
Extracts from Mr. Bate's Oration.
In all this which the federalists have done, how much have even their opponents found to censure? The Funding System, the British Treaty, the Provisional Army, the Land Tax, and the Sedition Law.
The funding system was devised by a man, who looked beyond the bourne that limits the vulgar sight; and who judged from the induction of particulars. Were you to have
"Heard him debate of commonwealth affairs, You would say, it had been, all in all his study; Lift his discourse of war, you would hear, A fearful battle rendered you in music; Turn him to any cause of policy The Gordian knot of it he would unloose Familiar as his garter."
He would sometimes melt you to compassion, by the sweet sunshine of his eloquence—sometimes he would arouse you to indignation by the thunder of his rhetorick;—sometimes he would strike the harp of Comus, and "make laughter burst his sides;" sometimes he was terrible as the spirit of Loda; and sometimes mild as the lute of Ossina, "Sed Ilium fuit," Troy is no more. Pardon the digression my countrymen, for where is the traveller, would not turn from the high way to weep at the tomb of Hamilton! The funding system in the opinion of the wisest and best politicians, was the great Panacea, which saved the nation.—But on this measure, and the treaty with Great Britain, time has decided and censure must cease.
The army was raised at a period which called for decision and defence. Our seas were swept by French privateers; our treaties violated; and our land covered with vultures, who were screaming for tribute, and "foreboding pestilence and war."—Twice we sent solemn embassies to France, vested with the most ample powers; twice they were dismissed without recognition, or even the formality of a hearing. The aggressions continued; injustice followed contempt; insult accumulated upon insult, until the enormities exceeded forbearance. It was then that the nation rose, and with the spirit and independence of a man, told the emissaries, who were whining for a subsidy, and creating disaffection, "that she had millions for defence, but not a cent for tribute." Under those circumstances the army was raised. What could have been done? Negotiation had failed. Were we humbly to bend the knee to the French? For in the language of a pugilist when he had tweaked our nose, made his pass and filed us in the face, were we not to be on our defence? Or were we to stand like the stupid ass and take it? Nothing should be dearer than a nation's honor. In a war to support it Lord Chatham said, he "would tear the shirt from his back." Yet my countrymen in a land of FREEMEN, an administration has been branded with disgrace for making the attempt.
If no good resulted from this measure the indulgence we owe to human frailty, instead of blasting the authors, would have excused the error. That our country was exposed to dangers, and that we escaped when other republics, who slumbered to the lullaby of French liberty and protection, fell victims to their folly; that our concerns were speedily adjusted, and peace and security restored;—are facts which none will dispute. Is it not reasonable to conclude that when France saw America raising armies, and fleets to defend her shores, and her commerce, that she might have relinquished projects and made concessions, which she might have accomplished, and enforced, had we exhibited the complying spirit of obedience. We have the testimony of Washington who knew the interest, and who certainly felt for the honor of the union, that the measure was founded in necessity, and dictated by wisdom.
In the case of war the revenue must have failed, because it was dependent on commerce. A land tax was therefore necessary, to give support to the army. Both were designed to cease with the emergency that produced them. But the policy of the direct tax does not rest merely upon the expediency of the army. It is a question which yet remains for decision: "Whether direct taxation be not preferable to indirect?" The affirmative was strenuously advocated, by those very honorable gentlemen, who afterwards styled it the engine of oppression.
The sedition law was designed to give every man the liberty of speaking truth. How it could have been censured, can be accounted for only on the principle, that prejudice is blind, and that "trifles light as air," weigh more than mountains, when
justice sleeps and passion regulates the balance.*
Thus, I have given you a very imperfect sketch of the federal administration; the state of the nation when they came into power, and the state when they retired. You see how much they have done; and how much they have done to be censured. Let us now see what the democrats have done to be applauded.
The government they received as the federalists left it, organized and in full operation. The army was disbanded, by the law that produced it. The sedition act expired of course, because in its creation it was temporary. For these measures, therefore, they can claim no credit, except that of having done no evil; and on this principle, the government that does nothing is entitled to the most applause.
But all their actions have not been negative. They have abolished the judiciary, when the constitution expressly says, that the judges of the United States shall hold their office during good behavior. It is a sound rule in the construction of laws, to interpret them according to the obvious meaning of the legislature that produced them. Yet those judges were dismissed without impeachment; without even the pretension that they had committed a crime. Can this be holding an office during good behavior ? One of these two conclusions must follow; either the supreme judicial power may be annihilated at the will of the legislature (which by all writers is defined to be the essence of tyranny) or the constitution has been violated.
The president has dismissed from office, by established a principle, by which he can keep his own minions in authority, at least three-fourths of the time in defiance of all the powers of government, when the constitution declares, that he shall only nominate and appoint by and with the advice and consent of the senate.
They have altered the 'Magna charta' of our liberties, and given to the strong the power of the weak .
What will be the event of this rapid progression in change, time alone can determine. Experience has long since told us, that constitutions, before the rage of a party, are the mere web of a spider, to enchain the lion in his wrath. Hence ours has been mutilated; has been violated again and again, while the destroyer has pronounced his eulogiums, to lull the people to apathy and peace. Read the larceny against himself. An idiot cannot doubt the object. Their own party begins to pause and to retract. We have every thing to fear from the single state of Virginia. She has a giant's power , and though it be tyrannous to use it , Heaven can witness that she has the disposition .
But such remarks, we are told, are the result of Federal chagrin; without foundation, and without propriety, because they tend to excite the jealousy of the nation. Would to Heaven, it were possible to awake the fears. A great proportion of our citizens only raise their sleepy heads, and look about and doze again, while ruin hovers round them like a mist. A strange infatuation has seized the mind. New England, though the first to vindicate her freedom, is the first to destroy it; though she is the nursery of science and the arts, yet she is the stew of ignorance; though she will have no slaves at home, yet she is the mother of oppression. While the Southern states, though not to be compared to the eastern, are the cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night. We follow them implicitly, and strange to tell! we adore them as Gods of Freedom, while their slaves are bleeding at their feet. Though the whole country is titled by "sinews bought and sold," by the unfortunate children of Africa, whose feelings are as keen as yours, as sensible to pain; who tell their sensibility, and their sorrows by the big tear that stand in their eye, while they pursue their silent labors; yet my countrymen, that is the land of Liberty ! Though the lordlings fatten on oppression, yet we are invited, nay we are urged to colleague with them.
* When this law was enacted, the Democrats asserted, that the Federalists were endeavoring to establish a monarchy. At such a time it must have been their first step, their only means of success, to silence all inquiry, that the people might not suspect until the object was accomplished, what was brooding in the cabinet of government. Yet, at that very time, they passed an act, destroying the ample safety, which the common law then afforded —for by that, in a state prosecution, truth is a libel , and therefore, not to be spoken without hazard, and giving every person the full liberty of publishing and speaking, with impunity , whatever he could substantiate in evidence.
† Vide Mr. Bidwell's Address to the Citizens of Massachusetts, previous to the last election.
as the guardians of Freedom, as the lovers of the poor, the friends of the unfortunate, the ministers of joy and consolation.
"Oh! Judgement, thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason." But you will not resign the liberties of your country, nor abandon the ways of your fathers. Like the immortal Cato, you will rather oppose a host; like him, you will rather perish in the effort, and prefer the honest fame of the Roman patriot , to the rewards of treachery or cowardice .*
On the purchase of Louisiana, two facts are obvious ; the one, That we had lands before, of an excellent quality, more than we can ever cultivate; the other, That a nation compact is more powerful and happy, than when thinly scattered over half the Globe. Louisiana, therefore, can be of very little importance, except to secure a passage through the Mississippi. But that passage it never can secure, while Spain, or any other nation holds the Floridas. Suppose then an individual, who has a large family; who is happy in all his domestic enjoyments; admits into it the Spaniard, the Algerine, the Indian, the Tartar, and individuals from almost every nation on earth, many of them as rude as nature, and savage as rude; would he conduct wisely? But suppose he should call upon his children to give millions for their society. If they were virtuous, undoubtedly they would prove obedient. Yet men of reason and coolness, would greatly doubt the policy of such a measure; and suspect the motives of such a parent.
Republics are never remarkable for energy. When therefore, their territory becomes immense, they are like a gigantic body, with a little spirit; a huge hydropsic, with limbs soft, bloated, all bursting out with tumefaction, in whom the blood scarcely circulates from one extremity to the other, too unwieldy to be moved, without activity, without use. Yet, my countrymen, for this state of things, we give 900,000 dollars per annum.
The feature in the present administration, which seems to have attracted the most attention, is economy. This has been echoed through the union; has been the constant theme of exhortation from the Priest of Apollo, to the most humble penitent, that worships at his shrine; has made more converts, than all the other ministerial praxis, from the Presidential "thorough bass," to the whining of his hireling's repetition.
While her children have been expiring in dungeons, America has boasted of her riches and her gains; miser like, has paid her six per centum, and left her family to perish for want.† A system so prodigal of honor, so prodigal of life, should indeed have something more than economy to justify it . Yet the present administration have only paid 13,000,000 of the national debt and added 15,000,000. The former defrayed the expenses of two Indian wars, of quelling two insurrections; of raising an army; of building a navy; of redeeming captives; in fine, of completely organizing an infant government, and, deducting the money and the securities which they delivered to their successors, paid 8,257,000 dollars of the national debt. The democratic revenue has been 12,044,286 dollars per annum.-----The
* Though there are many who deserve, the execrations of all mankind, for their cruelty towards their slaves, yet there are others, who treat them with such indulgence that they merit approbation. But at best the practice of trafficking in the human species is very little consistent with the extravagant professions of many Democrats, though perfectly consistent with their conduct. The sober inhabitants of New England, who were the first to oppose the armies of G. Britain, the first to defend their rights and establish their Independence, will hardly believe, that in less than thirty years , they have become so averse to liberty and so in love with servitude , that they wish to destroy the government , which alone can secure the one and prevent the other. For should there be a revolution, unquestionably the Middle and Southern States would succeed to the rule, because their territory is immensely more extensive than ours, and because their inhabitants are more than four times as numerous. Yet, when we have nothing to gain, from a destruction of the Constitution, either in present enjoyment or future prospect, but every thing to lose, the Democrats tell us that that is our only object , and " what is strange, passing strange ," many of our citizens believe them.

federal revenue was less than 6,000,000. You will find from official documents, that with even the economy of their predecessors, instead of 13, they should have paid 27,000,000.

NEW YORK, August 5.
By the Fair Play , we have received a New Orleans paper of the 28th June. We perceive nothing new in it except the following pompous account of the arrival of Col. Burr.
New Orleans, June 28.
We are happy to announce the arrival in this city on Wednesday last of col. Burr, (late vice-president of the United States,) and suite, all in good health. We understand he will make only a stay of ten or fifteen days amongst us, when he will depart for the western country, and will spend the latter part of the summer and fall in Kentucky.
There is a report in town that the president has called the senate together on business of high importance to the nation.
By the ship Otis , the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser , has received London papers to the 17th June inclusive, and Lloyd's Lists, and Prices Current of the 11th. To an American reader the papers contain scarcely an article possessing common interest; being occupied with the proceedings of the house of commons, & editorial speculations on the case of a high public delinquent, against whom a criminal information has been filed in the court of king's bench. Our extracts from Lloyd's Lists will be found in the marine department.
LONDON, June 12.
Yesterday being the day fixed for the motion of an impeachment against Lord Viscount Melville, a great crowd assembled at an early hour, in the avenues of the house of commons. At twelve the doors were opened and a severe pressure ensued. The gallery of course was filled in a few minutes. In the early part of the day an opinion prevailed that Mr. Whitbread would open the debate; but about three o'clock it was said that Lord Viscount Melville would be previously heard in his defence. This excited a great degree of expectation, and a great number of persons crowded into the lower lobby, and also lined the stairs to the gallery of the house, which commands a view of the lobby, through which Lord Viscount Melville was to pass. About half past four, his lordship entered the lobby, and passed into the secretary's room on the left hand. The house was at this time en-

aged in private business. Shortly after the speaker read a letter from Lord Viscount Melville, requesting to be admitted into the body of the house, to be heard in his defence. The honorable Robert Dundas Saunders, his lordship's son, then moved that his lordship be called in; which being agreed to, the speaker desired Mr. Coleman, the serjeant at arms, to take the Mace and conduct Lord Viscount Melville into the house. In the mean time Mr. Bellamy, the principal messenger, brought in a square arm chair, and placed it within the body of the house, within the bar, on the left hand side. The serjeant at arms then took up the Mace, and having carried it three times, went out of the house and took his station outside, in the lobby, in front of the door of the treasury room. — Opposite the door of the treasury room had previously thrown open the folding doors of the latter apartment, and Lord Viscount Melville, being informed by him, that the house requested his attendance, his lordship came out and walked uncovered into the house, attended by the serjeant and Mace. His lordship was dressed in black and wore a close buckled wig powdered. He bowed three times as he approached, and on coming within the bar, the speaker who wore his hat all the time, addressing him, said, "My Lord Melville there is a chair for your lordship." His lordship then sat down and put on his hat. There was a loud murmur in the house on his coming in. As soon as it subsided, which was in less than two minutes, his lordship arose, and taking off his hat he laid it upon the seat of the chair, and upon the hat several papers. His lordship then standing at the back of the chair commenced his speech, in the course of which he frequently refreshed his memory from the papers before him. His lordship spoke for 2 hours & a quarter. His manner was firm & impressive; and he did not even in the part where he appealed to the feelings appear the least shaken. The moment he had concluded he took up his papers deliberately, one by one, having put his hat under his arm, made a bow to the speaker and withdrew, attended by the serjeant, who during the whole of the speech, remained standing on the right hand side of his lordship, but at the distance of a few yards, with the mace resting upon the ground, and his hand upon it. — The house was uncommonly crowded. Not fewer than five hundred members were present.
Lord Viscount Melville's speech will be read with interest. Upon the subject of the 10,000l. and other sums of the public money received by him, and not applied to naval purposes, his lordship positively declared, that "private honor, and personal convenience" must prevent him from ever giving any account of them.
Accounts from Paris to the 31st are received. The Moniteur asserts that Sir James Craig's expedition was compelled to quit the Tagus, in consequence of the French and Spanish Ambassadors threatening to leave Lisbon, if the armament was suffered to remain. It is certain that such remonstrances were made, and there is little doubt that the Portuguese government urged Sir James to hasten his departure; but it is not likely that any menaces were used, as stated in the Moniteur. The French official Journal likewise states that the Carthagena fleet had conveyed troops &c. to Minorca. This may be true, tho' the whole article derives an air of ridicule, from the absurd statement, that the Carthagena fleet, of eight sail, had chased Lord Nelson's of eleven.
It is positively stated that M. Novoziloff's passports were, immediately on their being applied for, sent off from Milw. M. Novoziloff is expected in Paris about the middle of June. Letters from Holland say, that it is generally believed that a negotiation for a general peace, which both Russia and Prussia are anxious to effect, will soon take place. We do not think much reliance should be placed on these statements, even as to the fact of a negotiation taking place. As to the probability of peace, the Dutch merchants know no more than the meanest shopkeeper in London.
The Nile lugger reconnoitered the Chastity, on the 27th ult. and found in Rochefort, one ship of 3 decks, five two deckers, three frigates, two brigs, and several gun-boats.
In Ferrol the enemy has 12 ships of the line, besides frigates, which are watched by Sir Robert Calder with six ships of the line only.
Our ships at Brest are in daily expectation of their coming out, as they have 27,000 troops embarked, and their ships of the line appear full of men.
June 13. Extract of a private letter from an officer on board one of his majesty's ships in the Downs, dated June 10. "We have 13 sail of the line here now, the north sea squadron being ordered round; and we expect five sail more from the westward: I believe it is expected that the combined fleet is coming north about. By every cruiser that comes in I learn, that the French appear in all their ports ready for a push out, and most of the officers are of opinion they certainly will do it shortly, as their preparations with their shipping are different from what they have seen before."
We yesterday received a letter from an officer on board one of the transports in the Cove of Cork, in the expedition under sir Eyre Coot. It says, "this morning, June 5th, the troops were brigaded as follows: The 1st, or Highland brigade, consisting of the 71st, 72d, 93d, and Buffs, under the command of general M c Farlane. The second, of the 8th, 24th and 83d, with artillery, under gen. Balfour. The third brigade, of the 32d, 38th and 62d, under the command of general Montresor. The 89th regiment is to form a detached corps, under the command of lieut. col. lord Blaney. I have not yet learned who is to command the artillery, or staff corps. General Drummond is second in command under sir Eyre Coot. The troops are in good health, and are landed every day to keep them so. Our destination is not yet known; but it is supposed we are going upon some remote and desperate expedition, and not to the West-Indies; for all the married officers are ordered to send their wives on shore immediately, and the transports are to be furnished with provisions for six months."
The Moniteur contains the following article:
"Since the English call the late operations of our squadron in the West-Indies plunder, it is but just they should know that this plunder will not be over so soon as they think. We flatter ourselves even that ere a week has passed over our heads, intelligence from every part of the world will announce to the English commerce other events of the like nature. We shall then print, perhaps, a little work composed under the eyes of Mr. Pitt, and published by his orders, a short time before the first hostilities, in order to establish the propriety, the advantages and the necessity of the perpetuity of the war against France. This perpetual war then appeared suitable, advantageous, and necessary to British rapacity, and to that pride which was even then misplaced, and now nothing less than ridiculous. The proud, the powerful, the circumspect English, hear the departure of the French fleet when it has taken Dominica; of the departure of the Toulon squadron when it has passed the Straits; they will hear no more of it for some months."
"Lastly, they have not heard of the second Rochefort squadron, sailed a long time since, and which the English frigates came to watch and observe not more than eight days. We shall say nothing concerning several large frigates which have been sent out of our ports, to which the English may attach little importance, but which will strike them a blow on those coasts they think hardly known to our seamen. They have been dreaming that there is no longer any wood in our forests and arsenals, that there exists no longer a maritime population on our coast; let them learn, however, that there are no less than 30 men of war on our stocks, all of which will be ready for sea in 18 months."
"Were all the squadrons which the Emperor has sent forth to perish, after having laid waste the English commerce, great fleets are preparing, and numerous young men are ready to man them; it would be easier for the King of England to be crowned King of France, in Paris itself, than to disinherit the Great Nation from the commerce of the world. It is not that we entertain the haughty idea of preventing England from being a great powerful nation, but we wish to share with her the commerce of India and America; and we will not suffer the English to have any possession in the Mediterranean, Gibraltar excepted."
"If the English ministry purpose sending forth secret expeditions to those possessions which are too weakly garrisoned, to what point will they direct their forces? To the coast of Africa where they are null? To the island of Ceylon, where they will be but few in proportion to the danger? To the coasts of Coromandel, Malabar and Bengal, where they will also be insufficient? To Jamaica, where they will also be inferior or to the want? To Canada, to Surinam, Demerara, &c.? We do not entertain the ridiculous pretensions of conquering every
where; but we wish every where to destroy our enemy, to destroy his commerce every where; to be in short the strongest wherever we please to present ourselves. The Insurance Companies will do well to augment their rates from day to day, for, until peace be signed, they will have pretty pickings. We inform them thus publicly, that there is not an important part of the vast ocean, where French ships are not cruising. But the conditions of the peace we are speaking of are simple; the peace of Amiens, the whole peace of Amiens, nothing but the peace of Amiens; France will never sign any other."

FATAL DUEL. It is with regret we announce the sacrifice of a victim at the shrine of the sanguinary practice of duelling. Yesterday morning, at 6 o'clock, a duel was fought between Mr. Enoch M. Lyles, of this town, and Mr. John F. Bowie, of Piscataway, Maryland, at Johnson's spring, about six miles from this town, on the Virginia side of the Potomac. They exchanged shots at fifteen feet distance; when, unfortunately, Mr. L. received his antagonist's ball a little below the right breast, the ball passed through his liver, and he expired a few minutes past eleven o'clock yesterday.
John A. Burford, the person apprehended on suspicion of wounding and robbing Mr. Peter, on Tuesday underwent his final examination before the magistrates, and was committed for trial at the next court, which commences on the 4th Monday of November next.
Whoever can make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, deserves better of mankind, and does more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together.
SWIFT.
Extracts from the third Volume of the Farmer's Magazine. On fattening animals, particularly calves.
"All animals, when fattening ought to be excluded from light as much as possible, as the best and safest mode of keeping them quiet. Exclusion from light is practised by those who fatten poultry for the London market with much success."
In fattening calves the Magazine says, "As soon as the calf is dropped it is put into a box made of coarse boards four and an half or five feet long, and four or four and an half feet high, and about two wide according to the size of the calf. The boards are not put so close but that a sufficient quantity of air is admitted: light is however carefully excluded; and the box has a cover for that purpose. The box stands on four feet, which at one end are four inches high, but at the other only two inches, and as there are holes at the bottom, all wetness is drained off. The bottom is also covered with straw or hay, which is changed twice a week."
For seven or eight days milk is but cautiously given; for unless a calf is fed moderately at first, it is apt to take a loathing to its food. It should be bled in about ten days, and afterwards as much milk given it fresh from the cow, either twice or thrice a day as it will take. The bleeding should be repeated once a week; and at all times when a calf loathes its milk, and does not feed well bleeding should be repeated. These frequent bleedings prevent diseases from plethora, to which calves are subject, even when not fed so high, and still more so when they are.
A large piece of chalk should be hung up in the box which the calf will lick occasionally: this contributes nothing to the whiteness of the veal; but it amuses the animal, and corrects that acidity in the stomach which might be otherwise engendered, and which certainly often takes place.
By this mode of treatment, calves are kept clean, quiet, warm, and dry; the veal they furnish is excellent, and they are soon ready for market.

Highway Robbery!
1500 Dollars Reward.
YESTERDAY, about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, Mr. JOHN PETER, an officer of the Bank of COLUMBIA, was stopped on horseback on the road between this town and Alexandria, and within about two miles of the latter place, by some unknown villain, shot through the body with a pistol, and robbed of a sum of money in his possession belonging to this Institution , which he was taking to Alexandria, for the purpose of exchanging with the Bank there.
The whole sum taken amounted to Eighteen Thousand One Hundred and Fourteen Dollars and Sixty-five Cents, made up in packages— among which were
 1 Post Note of the Bank of Virginia, for 800 dollars  1 ditto of the Bank of Alexandria for 500  1 ditto of the same for 590  1 ditto of the same for 450  1 ditto of the Bank of Potomac, 149 65 cents.  A Check of the Union Bank, on the Bank of Alexandria, drawn by R. Higginbotham, Cashier in favor of Greatham and Deverau, by them endorsed and by Benjamin Stoddert, and C. Smith, Teller.
There were also a parcel of Post Notes of the Bank of Alexandria for 100 dollars and for 50 dollars each. The remainder was in current notes, principally of the banks of Alexandria and Potomac, and some few of the Bank of Virginia of different sizes and denominations.
As the ATTACK was SUDDEN, and the WOUND received of a nature to deprive Mr. Peter instantly of his senses, (although it is now hoped he will recover) the description obtained may not be very accurate. As far as we are in- formed, the man who perpetrated the act, is of middle stature, good countenance, and had a gen- teel appearance. He had on a dark blue or black coat, nankeen pantaloons, shoes, and a black hat; he was on FOOT and ALONE at the time, but may have had accomplices concealed, and will pro- bably change his clothes.
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS will be gi- ven to any person or persons, who will detect and bring to conviction the ROBBER; and ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS additional for the recovery of the whole of the money, or in proportion to any smaller sum recovered. Should there be accomplices, and one of them make a discovery, so that it leads to the conviction of the robber, or to the recovery of the money, he shall receive the ABOVE REWARD, and in terest will be made to obtain his PARDON.
