BRUTUS—No. IV.
IN my last number I asserted, that the whole Clinton family, from the oftentimes Governor of the State, to the real one in the person of his nephew, were secretly inimical to Mr. Jefferson. From the time that has since elapsed and adopting their customary logic, that, silence is unquestionable evidence of guilt, I presume it will not hereafter be denied. Charged with entertaining sentiments, which they falsely ascribe to Mr. Burr and his friends, they dare not hazard a reply. To escape from the disgrace to which this public conviction, and the invariable conduct of these immaculate advocates of Mr. Jefferson's infallibility will expose them, more than the ordinary efforts of their ingenuity will be necessary. In the annals of deception, there never was a more shameful imposition attempted upon the President as a man, nor upon the credulity of the public. Profound enemies to the executive, they have endeavored to make him the dupes of their insidious and hollow professions and the instrument to raise them to political eminence. These are now the men, it is said, whom executive favor is to elevate and whose honest opponents executive influence is to crush. Loudly proclaiming their devotion to the administration, under its immediate protection they attack every local rival. Exclusively orthodox in their political creed, all are deemed heretics who do not tamely receive the shackles they wish to impose or subscribe without resistance the particular doctrines they espouse. If this conduct is encouraged, or suffered with impunity, it will subvert the fundamental principles we have hitherto cherished, and in its operation destroy every species of independent examination: undermine the substantial advantages from our happy form of government, and open the avenues of power to abandoned and lawless villainy.
In the minds of those who are in the habit of examining political revolutions with attention; of marking the progress, and investigating the motives of those who are conspicuous actors on the theatre of politics, there can be no doubt, that the family connections of Governor Clinton have steadily meditated a complete usurpation of the political power of this State. This is beyond the reach of controversy. Let every man who is not satisfactorily impressed with the truth of what I advance, examine minutely their conduct. What has been the uniform tendency of their measures in this city? View their artifices at the seat of our State government? Trace them to every county in the State, and you will invariably find them undermining, by the most base and contemptible artifices, the reputation of every man who may, however remotely, interrupt their ambitious projects; in vain hopes that unguarded minds would believe those upright who appeared watchful and suspicious of others.
In this mode and for these purposes, has the character of Mr. Burr been attacked. Disappointed in the nomination of Governor Clinton to the Vice-Presidency, the moment he was elected Chief Magistrate of the State, his connections, I hope without his immediate knowledge or consent, commenced a secret, though active warfare against Col. Burr, who had been guilty of another sin which sharpens their revenge, and could not be forgiven. He had opposed with success the appointment of Mr. Osgood to the mayoralty of New-York. This pious christian had fixed his hopes on this lucrative office. Bred to meaner work, but born as he thought to be a Mayor, his disappointment gave infinite uneasiness: From the dejection and melancholy it produced, it is said, he has never yet recovered; and the name of Burr when audibly pronounced, like water in the hydrophobia, still gives him a universal thrill. Rooted by this decisive proof of their inferior influence, his supporters, advanced to bolder acts of hostility and revenge. By the most shameful and dishonorable machinations, they now endeavoured to defat every political measure the Vice President recommended. By means, at the recollection of which every man of common honour or integrity would blush, they endeavoured, upon all occasions, to render the purity of his motives suspected. But their impotent attempts produced no other effect, than to discover their malignity; and the man they meant to ruin, retained an exalted place in the affections of the people. In despair, this perverting faction flew for
assistance to Chancellor Livingston and his adherents, whose thirst for power and dominion, and inveterate jealousy of the Vice-President rendered them accessible. Tho' the habits and aristocratic dispositions of these people made them unfit accomplices for their new associates, the prospect of political preferment induced them to form the connection; although they had been for years in the constant habit of ridiculing both the public and private character of Governor Clinton and his family; the charms of power, and the prospect of monopolizing the honours of the State, overcame their repugnance, and they fraternally embraced the man they had hitherto derided, and affected to despise.
From this formidable coalition, a concentration of power was anticipated, which they could not derive from talents, or from natural influence, and which it was hoped would crush every opponent, exclude Mr. Burr from public confidence, and prostrate every obstacle to the success of their boundless ambition. This heterogeneous mass, composed like Nebuchadnezzar's image of clay and brass, drew close the bonds that connected them, and begun their work with a zeal and industry that would have done honor to a better cause. Some became declaimers at public meetings. Others rode the circuit of the state, and by the most insidious and dastardly insinuations, whispered suspicions in the minds of the people, and prepared their credulity for the reception of the flagrant and malicious falsehoods which have since been propagated. Stale and exploded calumnies against the Vice President, were revived, and circulated with pious perseverance. These proceedings, I have calmly witnessed throughout the state. I have often seen their gross artifices detected, and their views exposed; for they could not escape the most feeble sagacity. Thus was Mr. Burr to be dragged to the altar, and sacrificed to the ambition of a few aspiring individuals; to minister to the wishes of families, who, to gratify their pride, would trample on the rights of the people, and parade in triumph over the heads of the honest and industrious. There never were men, whose sentiments were less republican, whose actions and habits manifested a more sovereign contempt, for the common rights of man.
At the head of the honorable association to which I have alluded, we find a man whose name, alone, and venerable patron, have raised him above the common herd of political defamers. At an early period, received into the family of his Uncle, the esteem and respect, which the public felt for that worthy veteran, was, without reluctance, extended to those who shared his affections. Thus did he steal, unperceived, into the confidence of the people. His principles have never been examined. His character has only been upheld by his name. The virtues of his ancestors have hitherto saved him from investigation—But his secret machinations are now leading to important consequences: and the good of the country requires, that his dark and corrupt conduct should be exposed. That he should be arraigned at the bar of public justice, and receive that sentence, which his crimes justly merit. This shall soon be done. If I live, the task shall be faithfully performed.
For considering this man the actual governor of the state, it will certainly be unnecessary to apologize. It must be manifest to the meanest capacity, that he is the author of the system of policy, that has been pursued in this state since the election of governor Clinton. I would not so far insult that aged patriot, as to believe for a moment that he had conceived, and voluntarily performed the acts which have disgraced his administration. They are only worthy of that calous compound of pride and wickedness, whom he has raised from insignificance, and who has long since disgraced the name and the virtues of his ancestors.
This professional calumniator has ever had the impudence to arrogate to himself the applause of every popular proceeding of our State Government, and the hardihood to attribute to the worthy chief magistrate the odium of every ungracious act. This alone discloses a determined baseness that should consign him to disgrace.
His election as a member of the late memorable Council of appointment forms a new era in his political career. Associated with Ambrose Spencer, whose name has long been infamous, and who disgraced every party to which he has been attached, their memory will be justly immortalized. The history of their official con-
duct discloses a scene of iniquity never surpassed, and but rarely equalled in the annals of governmental proceedings. Every thing honorable, every thing just and advantageous to the country, was sacrificed to accomplish the ruin of a man, whose talents and integrity they dreaded: with the lash of whose eloquence they have often been chastised; and who was ever able and willing to check the progress of their ambition. Armed with the most momentous and dangerous power of government, these political reformers proceeded to the execution of their designs. Instead of regulating their conduct by the good and wholesome principles, whose influence would infallibly have tended to elevate the character of the state, they were diverted from their duty by romantic schemes of personal ambition. Instead of investigating the source of public evils, and applying appropriate corrections; instead of seeking truth in its energetic purity, they disregarded the lessons of experience, and the dictates of wisdom; they abandoned the great and paramount interest of their constituents, to promote their sordid and selfish views. That they were governed by these principles, their appointments to office clearly indicated.—Who that witnessed the occurrences at the seat of government, could resist a blush of shame and conceal his indignation at the sinking dignity of the state. Men, destitute of private integrity and of public virtue, were invited to the confidence of these two patriotic members of the Council. Merit ceased with them to be a recommendation to office. The profligate and abandoned, moved by the secret operations of sympathetic souls, hastened to the arms of their favorite champions, to receive the well earned meeds of their crimes and corruption. No qualifications were necessary but a pliancy of principle, that would never hesitate to sacrifice every honorable propensity, and all duty to the public. No ceremony to be performed but swearing eternal enmity to Mr. Burr. Those who could furnish the longest list of friends defrauded, or honest men betrayed, were readily advanced to the clerkship of a county, or to the dignity of public prosecutors. This has been verified in this city and county beyond the power of controversy. The truth of these assertions is discovered in the appointment of a man destitute of character & respectability, to the most lucrative office in the city. An office for which there were candidates of unblemished fame: who had ever been faithful to the cause of liberty. But they were honest men, unfit for the tools of unprincipled ambition. We trace these operations of the said principles in the appointment of a district attorney, whose sycophancy has become proverbial. Who is as notoriously incompetent to discharge the duties of his office, as he is destitute of political integrity. Fresh from the hot-bed of federalism he has become the calumniator of his friends and in the true spirit of apostasy is now the advocate for persecution. Impelled by every political breeze that blows, and like a camelion, regularly changing with the aspect of political affairs; the first cloud that portends evil to his party, drives him back to the arms of those he has forsaken.
The same motives have marked their proceedings throughout the state. Every county has been insulted with the appointment of officers notorious for their crimes and incapacity. Thus have those men, who now claim the gratitude of their country, sported with the authority with which they were invested. Their minds, a prey to the most odious passions, urged them on to acts of injustice and oppression. Impelled by wild and foolish ambition, they overleaped the bounds of prudence, endeavoured to subvert the feeble barriers that opposed them, and build their fame upon the ruins of the constitution. The history of their secret negotiations and malconduct in office opens a scene of profligacy and corruption without a parallel in former days. With heedless haste, we have seen them bartering the rights and privileges of the people; with monstrous hardihood, perverting the power magnanimously confided to them, to the furtherance of corrupt purposes. For what matters it, whether the consideration for an appointment is pecuniary compensation; or whether the stipulation is abandonment of every manly and independent principle: the first to be sure, is the substance, but the last is the essence of corruption.
The enemies of Mr. Burr, having thus, as they supposed, shaken the foundation of his influence in this state, extended their operations to the general government.—
What success has attended their efforts, remains to be determined. Prudent men discover reason to apprehend, that, while their object is only the ruin of an individual, they may endanger the existence of the administration. How far Mr. Jefferson can confide in the professions of the Clintons, he will presently be able to decide. On the fidelity and attachments of the Livingstons, he can, with safety, rely, while he has offices to give them, or they have other friends to betray.
BRUTUS.
CONGRESS. OF THE UNITED STATES,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MAY 1, 1802.
Debate on the motion to 'recommit the report of the committee of investigation.'
(Mr. Bayard's speech continued.)
This Enquiry, however, was never made by the committee. They never asked the question whether it was cheaper to buy or to rent, and they have condemned the secretary for buying and not renting, when he had no more authority to rent, than to buy and when by buying he has probably saved to the United States, several hundred thousand dollars. The situation of this officer is peculiarly hard. Having been directed to build a number of ships for the public, he has purchased navy yards for the purpose, and in consequence has subjected himself to the accusation of expending public money without authority. If he had rented land for the purpose, he would have been equally liable to the same reproach, and if he had neglected to do either, he would have been exposed to an impeachment. The secretary has it fully in his power to shew, that his purchases will save a large sum of money to the United States. A navy yard for a seventy four cannot be prepared without great expence. Under this head, I am informed by the secretary, that one hundred thousand dollars, were expended on one frigate the Constellation. This was occasioned in a great degree by leasing the yard. At the expiration of the lease, the public lose the benefit of all their expence in preparing and improving the ground.
In addition to the inference which the secretary might fairly make, of an authority to purchase grounds for the navy yards, if a purchase could be made on cheaper terms, than a contract of lease, he had further to consider the intention plainly manifested by the legislature, of establishing a system, which would require the use of these navy yards at a future time, beyond the duration of any common lease. Nay he knew not, what time was to be consumed in building the ships directed, and of course, could not know for what term a contract could be made. At present if the government should be disposed to sell the ships on the stocks, they have the same power to sell the navy yards, and they will have the same power when the ships are launched, and they may thus convert in effect the permanent purchase into a term for years, and restore to the treasury, the money which has been expended. But, sir, what I consider as the hardest act on the part of the majority of the committee, was their refusal to suffer the answer of the secretary, to the letter we addressed to him, explaining the grounds of his conduct, to accompany the documents annexed to the report. We have been told by the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Nicholson) that it was not the business of the committee to report the opinions of the secretary or of any other individual. If this be correct, I believe it was as little the business of the committee to report their own opinions. They should have confined themselves to the statement of facts, and upon those facts have left the house, and the nation at large, to form their own opinions. If this course had been pursued there would have been little occasion to publish the reasoning of Mr. Stoddert, but as the opinion of the committee, is merely their inference from certain premises, it was due to the public, as well as to the secretary, that the ground should be explained which had led him to a different conclusion, from that adopted by the committee. This report seems at present, intended only for public information. The letter of Mr. Stoddert, throws great light upon a part of it, and when our object is only to inform the people on a subject, why should we refuse any light, which places it more clearly before their eyes.

I shall be allowed to say a few words, in relation to the case of Mr. Tracy. I am not satisfied with the opinion or the conduct of the committee in relation to it. The service rendered by Mr. Tracy was not incompatible with his appointment of senator. He was employed to visit the ports on the frontiers, and to collect for the government, all the material information respecting them. This was a very delicate, confidential and difficult service, but the employment constituted no office. It was a simple agency, confined to a single occasion, performed under the instructions, but no commission. But for, if the case of Mr. Tracy presented any thing irregular, some of us conceived that the case of Mr. Dawson, standing on the same ground, ought also to have been stated in the report. The gentleman from Maryland, has contended to day, that there is a difference between the cases. I am sensible of the difference. The one is the case of Mr. T., the other is the case of Mr. D. I mean to impute no blame to the case of Mr. D. I see nothing in it to censure, but still considering it in every material respect, the same with that of Mr. Tracy, there was equal reason for making it a part of the report. The chief ground on which it has been attempted to distinguish the cases is, that Mr. Tracy was a Senator, at the time when he was sent on his mission, and that when Mr. D. was appointed to his, he was not a member of this house. This distinction exists, but I trust I shall be able clearly to shew, that it is not material. And give me leave here to tell the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Dawson) that in attempting to impeach the credit always due to the statements of my honorable friend from Connecticut, the imputed misstatement, arose from his own misapprehensions. The gentleman from Connecticut, did not mean to state, that he was a member of the house at the time of his appointment, but that he was a member during a period that he was rendering service under executive instructions.

TUESDAY, JULY 27.
Extract of a letter from a respectable Gentleman in Bourdeaux, to his friend in Boston, dated June 2.
"Politics, which for so many years, has agitated the minds of our citizens, & which to judge from your Newspapers, still distract those of yours, have subsided, and people begin to believe, that on the whole, as much real happiness may be felt, in being governed as in governing; we therefore, have at last, awarded our Consul, all he has asked for; and every one thus far, is contented."
Extracts of a letter from an authentic source at Algiers, dated the 14th and 15th May, 1802.
"On the 29th March failed five Algerine corsairs—and on the 29th of April failed seven. To this date they have sent in two Neapolitans, taken within one mile of Toulon; also two Spanish vessels, one loaded with sugar, condemned for a—the other took the Algerine for a pirate, and abandoned his vessel, and on this account is condemned, cargo of wheat."
"There has also this day arrived an Algerine corsair, bringing with him two French brigs, which were destined for the West-Indies. The Algerine says they fired two guns at him and for this they are sent in, but I suppose will be cleared."
"On the 31st March, two Swedes and one American frigate were cruising off Tripoli. To that date nothing had been taken by the Tripoline corsairs, which were then all in port."
15th—This day arrived an Algerine 44 gun frigate, and brought with her a Portuguese frigate of 44 guns. After two
hours combat the Algerine boarded the Portuguese and carried her. The Portuguese has 312 men landed here, and 42 killed and wounded. The Algerine had 30 killed. A great affair to Algiers—and frigate and crew is a loss and dishonor to Portugal, which cannot be retrieved.
"This day the Dey declared that all christian corsairs which his corsairs should find in, that should not have Mediterranean passports, should be condemned and considered as enemies.—This was the declaration of the Dey to the French Consul."
The Editor of the Clef du Cabinet, of the 30th May, makes the following comment on the paragraph published yesterday (from a London paper) headed French Generals :
Some English journalists ever ingenious in inventing what may debase the French, have published a soi disant correspondence of the Generals Regnier, Delsaing and Menou; the absurdity of these letters is grossly apparent—The English journalists have undoubtedly mistaken the style of the porters in London for that of the General officers of France. Generals Regnier and Delsaing might have reasons for not liking each other: but most certainly they knew too well what was due to their companions in arms, to permit any thing to appear in their letters that would dishonour the writers: and French officers, in their correspondence, have never written equivocally, respecting their personal valour and courage. These letters appear to have no other aim than to augment discord, and to excite general officers to fight each other. The hatred which these journalists testify against Gen. Menou, honors him: they wish to render his bravery doubtful; he has been twice wounded by musket balls in the Vendean war; he was the first of all the French who landed in Egypt; the first who entered Alexandria, through the breach, at the head of his grenadiers; if he was obliged to leave Egypt, he was the last who did so; and the loss of that fine country cannot be attributed to his want of courage or firmness.
The French government has granted a pension to the widow of Gen. Delsaing, who fell in a duel with Gen. Regnier. Gen. D. commanded the fourth light infantry several years. He distinguished himself in every action in which his corps was engaged; as chief of battalion and chief of brigade he received five honorable wounds. Appointed brigadier general for a brilliant action in the field of battle of the Pyramids, he was made general of division the following campaign. At the battle of Aboukir, the 7th Thermidor, year 7, he commanded the light infantry of the advanced guard, and by the good disposition which he formed of his troops, he broke the front line of the Turks, and drove them into the sea. The 30th Ventose, year 9, Gen. Menou gave him the command of the advance guard; but he was severely wounded at the commencement of the action. He returned to France, much maimed in consequence of his wounds.

LONDON FEMALE FASHIONS.
May 22.
Silver nets for the head are coming into vogue; white and gold have an elegant effect. Diamond crescents, in a turban a la Turc , are much admired; they are emblematical of the chastity of the fair wearers. The hair worn off lone eyebrows, a la Recamier , seems to obtain some partisans. For full dress, robes of white Persian, covered with silver net, sleeves a la Minerva , fastened up with diamond loops, a silver gauze petticoat, festooned up on one side; and a few dashing bells seem to sport beneath, trowsers of white satin or silver mouselin, appearing below the petticoat. Shoes for full dress are sometimes discarded, and a superb sandal, in the style of the ancients, laced up with silver or variegated cords are often substituted.
For walking a new species of hat will be adopted, consisting of straw, large, turned up at each side, the crown rather long and to be worn without any ribbon or any ornament: They are very becoming.
White Persian short pelices, trimmed with broad white lace, are extremely elegant; some prefer lilac or buff.
Lace is generally worn, it is introduced into all parts of the dress; the petticoats, pocket holes, sleeves, scarfs, and even the parasols, are trimmed with it.—The prevailing colours are lilac, pale pink and straw.

SONG—WHIMSIOLLA.
Selected from the New Comic Opera, CALLED THE CABINET,
WRITTEN BY MR. DIBDIN.
A bachelor leads an easy life, Few folks that are wed, live better; A man may live well with a very good wife, But the puzzle is, how to get her.
There are PRETTY GOOD wives, & PRETTY BAD wives, And wives neither one thing nor t'other; And, as for the wives who scold all their lives, I'd sooner wed Adam's grandmother.
Then, ladies and gents, if to marriage inclin'd, May deceit or ill humor ne'er trap ye! May those who are single, get wives to their mind, And those who are married, live happy!
Some chuse their ladies for ease, or for grace, Or a pretty turned foot as they're walking; Some chuse 'em for figure, and some for a face, But very few chuse 'em for talking!
Now as for the wife I cou'd follow thro' life, 'Tis she who can speak sincerely; Who, not over nice, can give good advice, And love a good husband dearly.
So ladies and gents, when to wedlock inclin'd, May deceit, and ill humor ne'er trap ye! May those who are single, find wives to their mind, And those who are married, live happy!

Ten Dollars Reward.
Ran away from the subscriber living in Stafford County, on Tuesday, the 6th instant, a likely negro man, named GEORGE, of a dark complexion, about Twenty-Six years of age, by trade a blacksmith. He is about Six feet high, stutters very much, and is fond of liquor, when intoxicated he is very im-udent and quarrelsome. As he went away without the least provocation, he will no doubt endeavour to pass as a freeman, and I expect he has obtained a pass for that purpose. When he went away, he wore a bath coating cloth coat, but this as well as his name he will probably change.
The above reward, and all reasonable expences will be paid, if taken in Virginia, and Twenty Dollars if taken in Maryland, to any person who will deliver him to me in Stafford county, or secure him in any jail or bridewell, so that I get him again. I think it probable he may be lurking about Alexandria or Colchester, having lived at the latter place some time ago.
