New Discovery.
ON the 14th May, 1803. a Patent was made out, and signed by the President of the United States, to GURDON F. SALTONSTALL, of Fayetteville, N. Carolina, for his invention of a New Principle, in Ginning Cotton; which is the third Patent granted to the same person on different principles, and improvements for cleaning Cotton; which improvements are designed to perfect the cleaning, and preserve the Staple of the different kinds of Cotton entire. When this difference is done we may expect American cotton to bear a price equal in foreign markets, to that of any other country produced from the same climates.

FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
A Refutation of the charge against the present administration that their views and measures are hostile to the Eastern States.
No. V.
The next subject on which the New-England States are peculiarly tender is a NAVY. They consider themselves as deeply interested in this institution, and ascribe to the Southern States, particularly to Virginia, and to the present administration, a deadly hostility to it.
That the New-England States are as much interested in a navy as any of the other States is indisputable. But that they are more interested may well be doubted. The inference of the greater interest of New England is drawn from her having more ships on the ocean than her proportion. But it will not necessarily follow from this circumstance, that a navy would be more beneficial to her than to those States which possess a smaller share of shipping. The great benefit derived from a lecture trade is felt by the exporter and the consumer. Those States which export the most and consume the most are those which will derive the greatest benefits and sustain the greatest injuries from whatever protects or injures commerce. They are those which will ultimately bear the burthen. Now, it is a fact that the Southern States are at once the greatest exporters and the greatest consumers.
That they are the greatest exporters will abundantly appear from the following statement of exports for the year ending the 30th of September, 1801. This period is taken, from the inability of the writer to procure the statement of exports for the last year. It is presumed that the one cannot materially differ from the other.
EXPORTS OF EASTERN STATES.
   Dollars.     New-Hampshire, 555,055   Vermont, 57,267   Massachusetts, 14,870,556   Rhode-Island, 1,832,773   Connecticut, 1,446,216   Aggregate 18,761,867  
EXPORTS OF SOUTHERN STATES.
   Dollars.     Maryland, 12,834,543   Virginia, 6,483,028   North-Carolina, 874,884   South-Carolina, 14,304,045   Georgia, 1,755,939   Aggregate 36,252,439  
From this statement it results, that while the New-England States have an annual amount of Exports of the sum of eighteen millions of dollars, the value of which must intimately depend upon the security of commerce, the Southern States have an annual amount of thirty-six millions, and exactly double the former. How then can it be said that the Eastern States have a deeper interest in a Navy, as a protection to commerce, than the Southern States?
It is certainly true that a part of the products of the Southern States is carried in eastern shipping; and that so far as relates to the profits of the voyage the Eastern owner of the vessel carrying this portion of Southern Exports is peculiarly interested. But does it follow that because the merchant is interested in the profit of barter, that the owner of the articles bartered is not interested in the disposition of them? And is it not evident that the disposition depends altogether upon the ability to export with safety? The merchant carries them with no other view than that of gaining a fair mercantile profit. This is all he can gain or lose. Whereas the farmer or planter may lose the whole amount of the articles. It follows necessarily that the interest of the farmer or planter is vastly superior to that of the merchant.
No correct official data exist of the relative consumption of imported goods by the Eastern and Southern States; but it is a fact that no one will dispute that the Southern States consume a much larger share than the Eastern. This arises principally from the small advances made in manufactures in the Southern compared with those made in the Eastern States; and from the different title of living. What the degree of difference is cannot with precision be ascertained, but it is unquestionably very great. Just in proportion to the greater demand of the Southern States for imported articles will be their interest in the security of trade.
From this view it is demonstrable that the Southern States are most deeply interested in commerce, and that so far
from the Eastern States, from the apprehension of rival and hostile interests, being jealous of the Southern States, the latter have the strongest reason for jealousy of the former. The truth, however, is, that no one part of the union has, on this subject, any reason to be jealous of the other. The interest of all the parts is the same.
If there be a difference of opinion in the different parts of the union on the support of a navy, it does not, as we have seen, arise from an interest in any part to impair the protection of trade, but from a doubt whether, in the present circumstances of the country, the small navy we are able to keep up can afford any substantial protection.
So much with regard to the general principles on which this question rests. Those considerations that remain to be noticed relate to the views and measures of the present administration.
It is contended that the President is hostile to a navy. But is there any evidence of this? His Notes on Virginia have been repeatedly quoted to prove that his early sentiments were favorable to such an establishment. Has he since delivered any opinions indicative of a change of mind? He has not. Look next at his measures. One of his earliest nominations for Secretary of the Navy, the head of that department on whom its respectability greatly depends, was John Langdon, an Eastern man, and a warm friend of a navy. This gentleman not agreeing to serve, the President named Samuel Smith of Baltimore, no less distinguished for his attachment to this gentleman to undertake the performance of the duties of the department, they were devolved on Robert Smith, the present Secretary, who is known to be a friend of the navy.
Do these successive nominations look like hostility to the navy? Are they not, on the contrary, to a certain, and to a considerable extent, indications of attachment to it, or at least of respect for the sentiments of those who are attached to it?
But we are told that whatever may be the professions of the administration, their actions are hostile to a navy. Dismiss them from further attention their professions, and let their actions decide.
The enemies of the administration say that the navy is reduced to a skeleton, and that the appropriations made for its support are inadequate.
To determine the truth of these charges, it is necessary to pass in review the measures of the late administration that relate to this subject, as well as the state of the public mind respecting it from the commencement of the government.
The operations of the general government commenced in the year 1789. From that period to the year 1794 the United States had no naval armament. In this last year the depredations of Algerine Corsairs extorted from Congress a small marine establishment. The Act providing for this armament expressly avows this as the sole reason for it. Its words are—"Whereas the depredations committed by the Algerine corsairs on the commerce of the United States, render it necessary that a naval force should be provided for its protection."
It proceeds to authorize the President to provide four 44 gun ships, and two of 36; or equivalent smaller vessels in lieu thereof; and concludes by providing, "that if a peace shall take place between the United States and the Regency of Algiers, that no further proceeding be had under this act." For these objects, by a subsequent law passed the same session, 638,888 were appropriated.
It is important to remark that this law passed on the 27th day of March 1794, immediately after the re-election of General Washington by the unanimous suffrage of America, and when federal principles, unpolished by party factions, were in the full tide of successful experiment. Nor were the external affairs of the country by any means flattering. On the Atlantic the war had begun to rage between Great Britain and France, while on our western frontiers the savages were in arms. Still the great, the sole cause of this naval armament was the violences of Algiers; the captivity of our citizens, whose ignominious and harsh treatment roused the national sentiment to effect their liberation and restrain the further injustice of the Dey. Congress expressly directs that as soon as these ends shall be attained, of which peace would be the necessary consequence, no farther proceeding shall be had in providing ships of war.
On the 8th of December, 1795, the
President announced to Congress the establishment of peace with Algiers and the formation of a treaty with Great Britain. On the 20th of April, 1796, Congress authorised the President to continue the construction and equipment of two frigates of 44, & one of 36 guns; all authority under the preceding act having ceased with the cause that produced it; and appropriated the unexpended part of the previous appropriation of 638,888 dollars, and of 30,000 dollars appropriated for galleys. The same act directs that "such parts of the perishable materials as may not be wanted for completing the three frigates" shall be sold, and the surplus of the other materials safely kept for the future use of the United States.
No further appropriation was made until the 1st of June, 1796, when 5,000 dollars were appropriated for the pay and the subsistence of three captains.
On the 3d of March, 1797, 5,000 dollars were appropriated to a like purpose, and 172,000 dollars to the fitting the frigates United States, Constitution, and Constellation.
In these successive acts we behold strong, and what may be considered indisputable evidence of the state of public opinion from the year 1789 to 1797; & of the opinion of the general government during the whole of the Washington administration, which terminated on the very day on which the last appropriation law was passed. Other contemporaneous evidences to the same effect are not wanting; among which that which contains the most precise and pointed application will be found in a report made to Congress by Mr. Wolcott, Secretary of the Treasury in Decr 1796. The subject of the report is the imposition of a direct tax, which is preceded by a view of the demands likely to be made on the government for a number of succeeding years. Among these demands Mr. Wolcott estimates two millions as necessary for the military and naval departments, including pensions; and adds, "If it shall be found that the expenses of the military and naval department cannot be reduced below the above estimate, which, though much to be desired, is far from certain, the foregoing calculation (embracing other objects) will fall short of the real exigence; it being morally certain, that the expenses of civil government will hereafter considerably increase."
Here then we have the unequivocal declaration of Mr. Wolcott, a citizen of Connecticut, a federalist, the successor to the disciple of General Hamilton, and the confidential officer of General Washington, that it was much to be desired that the military and naval expenses should be reduced below two millions; the greater part of which being required by the army, leaves less than a million for naval purposes. The inference is, by no means, forced, that General Washington held the same opinions and had actually revised the report of the secretary before its submission to Congress.
These were the sentiments and measures of the WASHINGTON administration.
On the 4th of March, 1797, commenced the ADAMS administration. Far different were the sentiments and views of this administration.
On the 24th of March, 1798, Congress appropriated 394,000 dollars to finish and equip the above three frigates, and to provide for their crews for one year.
On the 27th of April succeeding, they appropriated 950,000 dollars for providing twelve vessels not exceeding 22 guns each.
On the 4th of May, they appropriated 30,000 dollars for providing ten galleys.
On the 16th of July, they appropriated 600,000 dollars to providing three ships of not less than 32 guns each.
On the 2d of March, 1799, Congress appropriated 2,109,000 dollars; and for completing the vessels then building 1,004,000 dollars.
On the 10th of May, 1800, they appropriated 2,483,000 dollars.
On the 3d of March, 1801, they appropriated 3,043,000 dollars.
On the 3d of March, 1801 terminated the period for which Mr. Adams was elected.
Thus it appears that during the eight years of the Washington administration there were appropriated for a navy 930,000 dollars; while during the four years of the Adams administration there were appropriated 10,546,000 dollars.
NOTE. By official documents the actual expenditure for this period appears to be about ten millions of dollars.

How this last enormous sum was ex- pended, whether with intelligence and economy, or with ignorance and pro- fusion, we shall not enquire. We will only ask whether the nation was not as happy and prosperous during the Wash- ington administration as it was during the Adams administration? We need not dwell upon this enquiry, as the nation has already answered it.
For this great armament and enormous expenditure our differences with France were alleged as the pretext. In the year 1800 those differences ceased, while Mr. Adams was still at the head of our af- fairs, and a federal Congress continued.
In December, 1800, the treaty with France, that announced the restoration of peace, was received; and in the same month Mr. Jefferson was elected Presi- dent of the United States.
These two events had an instantaneous influence upon the deliberations of Con- gress. Whether it was that the cause of our great armament being removed, they were of opinion the effect should cease with it; or dreading the mighty influence of suffering to remain with their successors the excessive power they had themselves assumed, it was immedi- ately terminated that this splendid edi- fice should fall. Accordingly on the 12th of January following, Mr. Stod- dard, the Secretary of the Navy, made a report to Congress. We beg the attention of the reader to the quotations made from this report, as they will ef- fectually wipe away the numerous re- proaches made against the present ad- ministration, & prove that the measures for which they are censured, are those of the federalists themselves.
Mr. Stoddard says, "The report of the Secretary of the Treasury, containing a statement of the appropriation necessary for the year 1801, includes the estimates of the ex- pence of maintaining the navy of the same year. It is unnecessary, therefore, for me to repeat them here."
"But it will be observed, that these estimates were formed on the idea of employing our whole force in cruising, as heretofore, for the protection of our commerce. Should the United States be so fortunate as to terminate by an honorable treaty, the difference with France, it would be good economy to sell all the public vessels, except the following frigates:
The United States, The Constellation, President, Congress, Constitution, Essex, Mercury, Bonhomme, Philadelphia, John Adams, New-York, Adams, and General Greene.
"The rest were either built of mate- rials which do not promise long duration, or are too small to form a part of the national defence. In future wars, the United States will probably be influen- ced by the example of all other nations, to suffer the capture of vessels merely commercial from their enemy; and in this event, the enterprising spirit of our citizens will quietly furnish, for private encounter, nearly all the small vessels necessary to be employed; and will thus add to the national means of annoyance, without adding to the national expence. In this view, it may be sufficient for the United States to attend principally to a provision for ships of the line and frigates."
"The expence of maintaining the 13 frigates, herein enumerated, in constant service, and to the present establishment of numbers, pay and rations, would amount annually, to the sum of 1,225,048 dollars 73 cents, as will be seen in pa- per No. 1. But on a peace establishment, the nation, which is too large, ought to be reduced; & seamen's wages will un- doubtedly fall, on a general peace; and in such a state of things it would not be necessary to employ in each ship, more than two thirds of the present number of able and ordinary seamen. The pa- per No. 2, contains an estimate of the annual expence of these ships on a peace establishment, and on the principle of keeping the whole of them in constant service, amounting to 712,724 dollars 35 cents. The paper No. 3, shews the expence of keeping only six of the fri- gates in constant service; the others, remaining in port, but allowing half pay to a sufficient number of commissioned officers and midshipmen for the ships to be laid up, amounting to 337,237 dollars. In the paper No. 4, there is added to the estimate No. 3, the expence of al- lowing half pay to all the commissioned officers and midshipmen, at present in service, making the whole amount to the annual sum of 444,677 dollars."
After making several deductions, he adds:
"Thus then, it appears, that for the small sum of 651,967 dollars 34 cents, the United States may keep in constant service, six frigates; seven others in port, but always ready for service; the corps of marines, consisting of more than 1100 officers and men, and remu- nerate the salt and secure the future ser- vices of a meritorious class of men, who in general either facilitated more pro- fitable and less hazardous private em- ployment, to devote themselves to their country in the season of peril; or who were qualified by education for any
pursuits, have entered into the navy, as a profession, at that time of life when professions are usually chosen."
"All great maritime nations retain in peace the commissioned navy officers necessary to be employed in war, by al- lowing them a portion of their monthly pay, on the condition of holding them- selves in readiness at all times, to be called into active service. The same provision is not so generally extended to midshipmen; but the discrimination is no where just, and in the U. States, in the present instance, it would be ex- tremely impolitic; for the midshipmen are among the most promising young men of our country, possess all the ma- terials to make officers equal to any in the world, and well merit the fostering care of their government. But it would be injurious to themselves and to their country, to pay them for remaining at home. No midshipman ought to receive half pay, without exhibiting satisfactory proof that, at least, four months of the year for which he demanded it, had been employed by him in acquiring a better knowledge of his profession; if not in foreign service, at least in the merchant ships of his own country."
"It also appears that for the further sum of 643,625 6-10-0 dollars appro- priated for the present, and for each of the three succeeding years, six 74 gun ships may be added to the navy; two frames for two other 75 gun ships may be placed in dock for repairing; six capacious building yards with docks for receiving large quantities of timber may be prepared; and suitable houses, which are indispensable for the security of the naval stores, may be erected at each of the building yards."
In compliance with these recommen- dations Congress on the 31 of March, 1801, the last day on which federal power remained, passed an act providing for a naval peace establishment, of which the following are the most material sections."
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is authorised, whenever the situation of public affairs shall in his opinion render it expedient, to cause to be sold, they being first divested of their guns and military stores, which are to be carefully preserved, all or any of the ships and vessels belonging to the navy, except the frigates United States, Con- stitution, President, Chesapeake, Phila- delphia, Constellation, Congress, New- York, Boston, Essex, Adams, John Ad- ams, and General Greene; and also to lay up all the frigates thus to be retain- ed, except such as are directed by this act to be kept in constant service in time of peace."
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That six of the frigates to be retained shall be kept in constant service in the time of peace, and shall be officered and manned as the President of the United States may direct, not to exceed how- ever two thirds of the present complement of seamen, and ordinary seamen; the re- sidue of the frigates to be laid up in con- venient ports, and there shall be per- manently attached to each frigate to laid up, one sailing master, one boatswain, one gunner, one carpenter, and one cook, one first or second lieutenant of marines, and eight marines; and to the large frigates twelve, and to the small frigates ten sea- men the sailing master shall have the general care and superintendence of the ship; and shall generally execute such duties of a purser as may be necessary."
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That the President of the United States retain in the navy service in time of peace, nine captains, thirty-five lieutenants, and one hundred and fifty midshipmen, including those employed on board of the six fri- gates to be kept in service; and that he be authorised to discharge all the other officers in the navy service of the U- nited States, but such of the aforesaid officers as shall be retained in the service shall be entitled to receive no more than half their monthly pay during the time when they shall not be under orders for actual service."
Here then we behold the rule which the leaders of the federal party laid down for themselves. They say they are sincere friends to a navy; that their ac- tions prove it. Those actions exhibit the inflation of a bubble to answer party purposes, which like all other bubbles has its period of disention and declension. Like them it swelled till it burst. Re- turned to their sober senses they tell you that 1,000,000 dollars annually appro- priated to a navy is sufficient. This too under disbursements in violation of every principle of economy.
The republican administration that succeeded took them at their word; and appropriated in the year 1802, 900,000 dollars, and in the year 1803, 1,244,000 dollars, averaging each year 1,072,000 dollars.
Though this amount is a fraction be- low that estimated as necessary by W- Stoddard, it is above that estimated by Mr. Wolcott in 1786.
It follows demonstrably that the pre- sent administration are as friendly to a navy, if you are to judge either by their professions or actions, as the last admin- istration; that they have, in truth, pur-
sued the same end which the sober sense of their predecessors pointed out.
Whatever may have been the mo- tives for the recommendations of Mr. Stoddard, of whose federalism and devotion to a navy no one has ever entertained a doubt.

WASHINGTON CITY.
MONDAY, JUNE 20.
We understand that all the members of Assembly of the state of New-York, recently elected, except 13, are repub- lican. We believe the whole number of that body is one hundred. Does this look like a falling off of republican- ism?
At a late meeting of the republicans of Calvert county, it was unanimously determined to support Dr. Gantt, Messrs. Carcaud and Holland, and Dr. Somervell, for representatives to the General As- sembly; and also to communicate with the republicans of Charles and St. Mary's counties, as to the propriety of electing Major William Thomas in opposition to Mr. Campbell, as a representative for Congress.
These measures have been thus early taken to prevent the same imposition being practiced this year that succeeded at the last election.
The following paragraph is extracted from a circular letter from the Post Master-General, to the Deputy Post Masters throughout the United States, dated
"General Post Office, April 17, 1801.
"The failures of newspapers have always been subjects of complaint. In some instances evils have arisen from post-masters allowing people to read papers in the office. This is alto- gether improper. It is necessary for the officers to desist from this prac- tice, and they are hereby directed not to permit any person to read or handle the newspapers in their of- fices, but carefully to keep the same under lock, and deliver them to the proprietors when requested."
MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLA- TURE.
IN SENATE—June 7, 1803.
Report of a joint committee.
The committee of both Houses, to whom were referred a letter of the President of the United States of February, 1803, addressed to his excellency the governor of this commonwealth, and communicated by him to the legislature, accom- panied by a report of a committee of the House of Representatives of the U. States, and a resolution of the house, founded on the report, in which the president was request- ed to urge on the state governments the importance of the most vigorous exertions to carry into effect the militia system adopted by the na- tional legislature:
Report the following resolves—
Resolved, That his excellency the governor and commander in chief be requested to write to the Pres- ident of the United States, and as- sure him, that the legislature of Massachusetts are strongly impressed with the importance and necessity of a well organized and disciplined militia;—that they ever have and still continue to consider it among their first duties to exercise the pow- ers reserved to them by the consti- tution of the United States, on this subject, in such a manner as best to effect the great purposes of its establishment; that the expediency of revising the laws relative to it, will claim their serious consideration, and their object will be to make e- very improvement which the nature and importance of the subject may require, in conformity to the system adopted by the general govern- ment;—That the legislature of Massachusetts receive with great satisfaction the sentiments expressed by the president and the house of representatives of the United States, on a subject, in which the inde- pendence and safety of our country are so essentially interested.
Resolved, That his excellency the governor and commander in chief be likewise requested in his general orders to the militia, to communi- cate the substance of the resolution, and the manner in which it has been enforced by the president of the United States, that the officers and soldiers may be informed how important their station is considered, and be inspired with ambition al- ways to merit the approbation of the government and the confidence of their fellow citizens.
WM. HULL, per order.
Wednesdays, June 8—Agreeably to adjournment, the Senate took the 2-
bove report into consideration. It was supported by the hon. Messrs. Bidwell, Bacon, Hill and Chandler; and opposed by the hon. Messrs. Mason, Jones, Hooker, Pickman, Brigham, Storer, Tudor, Derby, and Thompson. After a debate of considerable length, the question was taken on each resolve separately; and the yeas and nays on both were as follows:
YEAS—Hon. Messrs. Bacon, Bid- well, Chandler, Coffin, Dillingham, Ellis, Hildreth, Hill, Howe, May- nard, Tilden, and Woodman—12.
NAYS—Hon. Messrs. Bigelow, Brigham, Cushing, Derby, Hale, Hayward, Heard, Hooker, Jones, Mason, Pickman, Spooner, Stari- weather, Storer, Thompson, Tit- comb, Tindor, and Tyng—18.
In the House of Representatives, on the question of concurring with the Senate, in rejecting the Resolves, there were eighty-two in the Affir- mative and sixty-seven in the Neg- ative; but the Yeas and Nays were not taken.
Remarks of Boston Chronicle.
The non-concurrence of the Res- olves in answer to the president's letter, on the subject of the MILI- TIA, is so singular the public would be gratified with the debate on that question. What the motive could be for not noticing a communication from the president on so interesting a subject, is a mystery which we can- not explain.
The militia of the commonwealth is of vast consideration to the citi- zens who are opposed to a Standing army; and the report of the com- mittee appeared so perfectly consist- ent with reason, that the negative carries a doubtful aspect. It would have been satisfactory to have had the yeas and nays in the House of Representatives on this question, as it is of importance to their constitu- ents that the individual votes should be known.
If party-spirit runs so high that every notice is to be avoided, even when the president is desirous to give efficacy to the militia, what candor can be exercised towards those who claim the title of federal- ists ? The gentlemen who heard the debates in the Senate, it is hoped, will explain this strange business; at least the mystery should be made known at a future day. The House, we hope, will re-consider the question by yeas and nays; for it is a subject of the highest importance, and will certainly arrest the atten- tion of the citizens at a proper period.

From the Aurora.
Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated
"BASKINGBRIDGE, June 10.
"It is much easier and safer too, to stop a fire at its first kindling, than after time and neglect have allowed it to rage. We will be justified in giving this early testimony of the detestation and abhorrence with which the people of this part of our country in general read the revelations of that infernal spark of anarchy and tyranny apparent in some of your city papers. Here we have deemed it the duty of every republican to give a marked disapprobation of the first indications of the spirit from which our country has been lately freed, in order that an expression of the public mind may crush in the bud the germ of civil discord which is too evident. The paragraph was intended to nourish, and which if neglected, might tell our happy country both blood and treasure. For this purpose you are requested to give the following resolutions a place in your paper, as it has the largest circulation of any we know, and you will much oblige a number of your republican friends, and in particular, yours, &c."
MEETING OF THE COUNTY OF MORRIS. June 6, 1802.
A meeting of the citizens of this vicinity, was held this day, at Howell's tavern according to previous notice, for the purpose of taking into consideration the publication of an article that appeared in Mr. Bradford's paper in Philadelphia, called "The True American," of the 6th May last. The meeting chose Dr. William Leddel, chairman, and John McCarter Secretary—ordered that the paragraph be read which is as follows—
"A democracy is scarcely tolerable at any period of national history. Its omens are always sinister and its powers are unprepossessing. With all the lights of experience blazing before our eyes, it is impossible not to discern the futility of this form of government. It was weak and wicked in Athens. It was bad in Sparta, and worse in Rome. It has been tried in France, and terminated in despotism. It was tried in England, and rejected with utmost loathing and abhorrence. It is on its trial here and the issue will be civil war, desolation and anarchy. No wise man but discerns its imperfections, no good man but shudders at its miseries, no honest man but proclaims its fraud, and no brave man but draws his sword against its force. The initiation of a scheme of policy so radically contemptible and vicious, is a memorable example of what the villainy of some men can devise, the folly of others receive, and both establish in despite of reason, reflection, and sensation."
Whereupon resolved unanimously, as the sense of this meeting, that the authors and abettors of the above paragraph are enemies of the people and of the government they have established, and justly merit the contempt and execration of every freeman in our country.
Resolved, unanimously, as the sense of this meeting, that the said authors and abettors of the paragraph are guilty of a libel against the patriots who achieved our independence and of treason against the peace and happiness of the United States, in thus daring to stimulate our citizens to draw their swords against each other.
Resolved, unanimously, as the sense of this meeting, that it is the duty of the citizens of the United States to re- pose confidence in the wisdom and inte-
grity of the constituted authorities of our government, for the eminent proofs of attachment to the public good already given by them.
Resolved, unanimously, that we will resist, by every lawful means in our power the dissemination of such dangerous principles as are contained in the above paragraph, as destructive of our constitution and republican form of government; and for that purpose we will refuse our support, aid and patronage to every author, printer and publisher, who we find instrumental in attempting to poison the public mind with sentiments so daringly hostile to the principles of our government and ruinous to the peace and prosperity of our country.
Resolved, unanimously, that the proceedings of this meeting, signed by the chairman and secretary, be sent to the Aurora of Philadelphia, the True American of Trenton, the Journal of Elizabethtown, and the Centinel of Newark, for publication.
WILLIAM LEDDEL, Chairman.
Attest,
John McCarter, Secretary.
While the tricks of diplomacy and the arts of regu governments in Europe, are amusing the gaping millions—while Britain complains of French ascendancy on the European continent, and of her interference in Italy, Holland, Switzerland, the same species of work is carrying forward on the continent of Asia by the complainant. The Nawab of Oude, Vizier of the empire, was a short time ago deposed—in the midst of peace, and without a capitulation—the Nawab of the carnatic was lately poisoned and his territory seized. Mo-hammed Khan, son of the celebrated Hyder Ali Khan, the Rohillah, has been deprived of his territory guaranteed to him by those who have taken it under their protection. Only one Mahomedan power remained in the south of Hindostan, after the fall of Tippoo; the Nizam; this unfortunate prince, sunk in years, and a prey to his terror, was seduced by the British to take part in the two wars, which in the course of seven years the British had commenced against the Sultan of Mysore; he was promised to be placed at the head of the Mahomedans in rank, and in Hindostan, rank is power, glory, and riches—for all heads bow to rank: upon the first partition of Mysore by Cornwallis in 1792, the Nizam obtained a large share of the territory of his Mahomedan neighbor; in the second war, 1799, the territory was further augmented; the Nizam was grateful for the plunder of his neighbor bestowed on him by the great robber with whom he had leagued; the Nizam had several European officers, Swifts, Germans, &c in his service; and as the British were now his very good friends it was represented that he ought not to keep any other in his service, and he did not keep them, for they were sent as prisoners of war to Fort William, and thence dropped one at a time in different parts of Europe!—Two of them are now in the United States. The Nizam of course must feel perfect security under the protection of a nation that could so disinterestedly make him a present of territory containing nearly three millions of people—and what was more important yielding a revenue of 80 lacks of rupees per annum. But as all things in this whimsical world are uncertain, it could not be supposed that the Nizam was to continue happy, rich, and powerful to all eternity, and with regard to human life, the present existence resembles eternity to him; so that as Mahomedans say, "it was the will of God," that the British should take a liking to the very territory of which they had plundered Tippoo and bestowed upon the Nizam. This is the latest act of the mercy of that beneficent government in India of which we have heard, it comes to us this way. Captain KIRKPATRICK the resident at the Nizam's court (Hyderabad near the mines of Golconda) lately concluded a treaty with the Nizam (here there was the ceremony of a treaty and no capitulation!) of which the sovereignity is ceded for ever to the English East India company, of all the territory acquired by the treaties of Seringapatam and Mysore, with the exception of certain districts near the river Toongbudra. The annual revenue of which is 60 lacks of rupees or about three millions of dollars per annum.

That it is the sense of this meeting that Stephen Welt, Esq., be the candidate to represent this county in the state legislature in the room of Samuel Carr, Esq., who has declined being a candidate. Resolved unanimously that this meeting will support Robert Bowie, Archibald Vashon, Peter Wood and Stephen Welt, Esqs., as proper persons to represent this county in the next General Assembly. It is recommended that there be a committee appointed as soon as possible, by the republicans in each district in this county to consist of such members as at a meeting of the district shall be agreed upon.—This committee shall meet once in three weeks in the district until the first day in August next and once a week after until the election. That each district appoint five persons to meet at Upper Marlboro' in general committee of the county once a month until the first day of August, and once a fortnight after until the ensuing election, and if a district shall fail to elect such members of a general committee then the committee of such district shall appoint five persons to attend the general committee of the county. It shall be the duty of the district committee to correspond with the county committee, and of the county committee with a similar one in Anne Arundel county, if any such committee shall be appointed in that county. The first meeting of the general committee to be the last Monday in June.

IMPORTANT.
NEW-YORK, JUNE 16.
Capt. Thompson, of the ship American, who arrived yesterday in 30 days from Londonderry, has brought Irish prints to the 11th of May, and furnishes verbal accounts to the 15th. He was credibly informed that London papers received at Londonderry just previous to his sailing, mentioned, that Lord Whitworth had received a passport from Bonaparte, and was on his return to London; and that Gen. Andreossi had likewise demanded a passport for Paris—That the Channel and North Sea fleets were out—that orders were issued for blockading the ports of France, and that the French coasts, in the space of one week, were lined with British cruisers—The hottest impress ever known, had taken place in all the Irish ports; old men of 60 years not being spared. Every symptom of immediate hostilities prevailed, and there can be little doubt but that ere this, war is renewed between England and France.
A London article of the 2d of May, says—"Toussaint Louverture is dead. He died, according to letters from Batavia, in prison, a few days ago. The fate of this man has been singularly unfortunate, and his treatment most cruel. He died, we believe, without a friend to close his eyes. We have heard that his wife and children, too, they were brought over from St. Domingo with him, have never been permitted to see him during his imprisonment."
The First Consul is said to have observed to Lord Whitworth at a late levee of Madame Bonaparte's that he expected no success in a maritime war with England, and that hostilities must necessarily be directed against her in her own island; in which case he should feel it his inevitable duty to conduct the invasion in person.
LONDON, May 5.
This morning the following letter was received by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, of which he immediately, with becoming zeal, sent copies to Lloyd's Coffee House and the Stock Exchange.
TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR.
"Downing-street, Thursday morning, eight o'clock, May 5, 1803.
"Lord Hawkesbury presents his compliments to the Lord Mayor, and has the honour to acquaint his Lordship, that the negotiation between this country and the French Republic is brought to an amicable conclusion!"
The joyful intelligence spread throughout this large city, with the rapidity of lightning, and it is impossible to describe the demonstrations of satisfaction and joy which were every where expressed, though many affixed to fear that the honour of the nation had been compromised, and no little degree of ingenuity was exerted to find out the terms that had been agreed upon between the two governments for terminating the differences that had taken place.
At the Stock Exchange the effect was such as might have been expected from such pleasing intelligence. The 3 per cent Consols opened at 63, rose rapidly to 71 3-8, and were still looking up when a message came from the treasury to the Lord Mayor, between twelve and one o'clock, to acquaint him that the former letter was an impudent forgery!
It is impossible to describe the sensation produced by this notice; the stocks instantly tumbled to 63, 62 1-2 62, and the panic was such, that they would certainly have gone lower, had it not been thought advisable to close up the Stock Exchange, which was accordingly done at one o'clock, instead of waiting till the usual hour.
Letters received at Edinburgh on Friday last, from Petersburg, dated 29th March, say, "That the Russian fleet is ordered to be equipped with the greatest dispatch, and an army of 30,000 men to be got ready immediately, and every thing begins to assume the appearance of war"
BELFAST May 10.
Belfast News letter office, May 10th 10 o'clock, A. M.
We stop the press to state the arrival of the London papers of Friday last, (May 6th) In a second edition of the Courier we find the following most important, though most unwelcome intelligence:
WAR.
House of Commons, quarter past five o'clock.
Mr. Addington has just declared to the House, that he expects Lord Whitworth in this country very speedily, and that general Andreossi has applied this morning for passports for his return. At the same time Mr. Addington stated, that the official communication could not be made to this house till his lordship's arrival in this country. He then moved that the House at its rising should adjourn to Monday.
Mr. Fox objected to this motion—he thought, under the circumstances of the country, the House ought to meet to-morrow.
Lord Hawkesbury could not conceive
that any injury would arise from the delay proposed.
Mr. Gray moved an amendment, "that the House should only adjourn till to-morrow, instead of Monday."
Mr. Canning supported Mr. Gray's amendment.
The house is still sitting, and there is likely to be a division.
The Funds, Friday morning experienced great fluctuations. They opened at 63, rose to 65, fell back to 64; and at 12 o'clock were as low as 62 1-2.
From the Mississippi Herald. DEPOSIT RESTORED.
His Excellency, Manuel de Salcedo, Governor General of Louisiana, has addressed to Governor Claiborne, a letter, of which the following is a translation.
Most Excellent Sir, As the smallest circumstances respecting this important subject, is so interesting to the general satisfaction and tranquility of our respective governments, I take the particular pleasure in communicating to your Excellency, that yesterday at 12 o'clock, one hour after the arrival of the courier, the deposit for American merchandise and effects, was restored, and put on the footing it formerly stood. God preserve your Excellency many years.
MANUEL DE SALCEDO. New Orleans, May 18th, 1803. His Excellency W. C. C. Claiborne, Governor of the Mississippi Territory.
LEHIGH NAVIGATION LOTTERY. SECOND CLASS.
Five thousand dollars the highest prize!
THIS Lottery will positively commence drawing at the City of Philadelphia, on the first Monday of September next.
