FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
MR. SMITH, Assumed characters are difficult to be supported with uniformity; moments of inattention or passion will develop the native turpitude of the heart. Tiberius for a time could deceive the citizens of Rome with an appearance of veneration for the ancient forms of the republic, but his temper, ever brooding mischief, would sometimes conquer his dissimulation. Such, in some measure, is the character of the opposition; they possess all the malevolence of the Roman Emperor, without his ability to disguise their intentions. Their zeal will defeat their machinations. In their ardor to calumniate and misrepresent the character and conduct of the present administration, they deny the first principles of our political associations, they strike at the vital spirit of our constitution. While they possessed the power they made no secret of their opposition to the doctrine of the sovereignty of the people. Proud of a temporary elevation, they vainly imagined it would be perpetual. Their power was their apology for their insults to the feelings and understanding of the community. Rather than stoop to vindicate their measures to the public, they protected themselves against the arguments of their opponents by fines and imprisonment. Since the reins of government have been wrested from their hands, they have been obliged to adopt a milder tone, to court and flatter the people whom they once despised. Though in their first moments of indignation at the prostration of their power, they would not assume the name of "Republicans," which they had attempted to disgrace, passion has at length given way to policy, and they meanly submit to wear a coat which they once rejected with disdain. But their fate will be like that of every impostor;—whatever professions of sincerity he may make, when once detected, they are considered as new schemes of treachery. To strip them of this newly assumed disguise, it is only necessary to hold up their history to public inspection. It cannot be too often presented; it will serve as a mirror in which they may see their own likenesses; and the people discover the monstrous features of that political system, which the enemies of government, would represent as republicanism.
Though the proceedings of Great Britain toward this country previous to the revolution, and during its continuance, excited a general abhorrence of the principles, and a hatred of her corrupt policy, yet, at the conclusion of the war, there were still left among us, some, who retained the leaven of aristocracy, and an invincible attachment to the measures and form of her government. While the enthusiasm of opposition was blazing through the Union, many, affected to espouse the cause of their insulted country, clandestinely abetted the operations of our enemy. Some by previous concert tarried within our limits, while their friends, to secure their property, whatever way the event might turn, enlisted under the banners of Britain. Some on the ratification of peace returned to enjoy that property, which they had traitorously forfeited by abandoning the arms of their country in the moment of danger, and by trying to stab to the vitals that independence for which her sons have so gloriously fought. The event also has proved, that many, who assisted to separate us from Great Britain, were governed more by the impulse of ambition than the spirit of patriotism. It was not the injuries we had received, nor an aversion to aristocracy or the domination of an established church, which impelled them to action. They wished for a separation that they might become lords spiritual and lords temporal. They were not offended because George the third and his venal parliament tyrannized over our rights; but because they had no share in the plunder. If any proof of this were necessary I have only to appeal to what is absurdly called Adams's Defence of the American Constitutions, which, instead of vindicating our form of government, is a libel upon its principles, and a panegyric upon the government of England; I might appeal also for evidence to the history of the convention, where General Hamilton proposed, that the President and Senate of the United States, should hold their offices during good behaviour, that the former should have an inalienable negative upon all laws, that the latter should have the sole power of declaring war, and that the governors of the several states should be appointed by the general government. To this remnant of love for the English constitution, and for the measures of
its administration, we may ascribe the origin of that hostile disposition to the principles of our own government, which has marked the progress of modern federalism, and threatened the destruction of our liberties.
This outline of the history and principles of the enemies of our freedom shall be continued. We have discovered the time and place of their birth; it is necessary that we trace the licentiousness of their youth, and the iniquities of their manhood.
CURIUS.
From the New-York Evening Post. The insubmersible and invincible boat.
A French gentleman, by the name of Du Buc Marentille, has obtained a patent for a new invented boat, possessed of properties which secure her against either sinking or overloading. The inventor is now in this city, and has a boat lying at one of the wharves in the east-river constructed on his principles, which he offers as a practical demonstration of his theory. An experiment has been made with her, we understand, and the result was adequate to his expectations. The mast of the boat being repeatedly brought down, by main strength, so as to be immersed in the water, on being released instantly resumed its former situation. The boat, then being full of water, was manned by as many persons as could crowd her deck, and all this weight was not sufficient to bring her gunwales to the water's edge. We here present a description of this boat, taken from a pamphlet just put into our hands.
Description of the Insubmersible and Invincible boat.
The idea of a boat, whose specific gravity would not allow it to sink, occurs to almost every person; and the means to effect that end are equally obvious. Those who attempted to make such boats, and succeeded to prevent their sinking, always met with the seemingly insurmountable obstacle of preventing their overloading. Their mind being wholly bent towards finding in the configuration of the boat, and the proportion of her ballast, the means of fixing her in the right position, notwithstanding the impulsion of the waves, they found it impossible to attain that end; and seeing they had gone through mere useless experiments, they gave it up. Those, in fact, are guilty of a very gross error, who pretend to prevent the overloading of a boat by her mere configuration; for, let this be what it will, one of the sides may always acquire a preponderance over the other, and when that preponderance is too great, then she overlets. Should she even return afterwards to her right situation, it would be of no avail as men could not live in a boat, whilst every moment, by her overloading, they would be exposed to have her on their heads. However difficult an obstacle this appeared to be a few plain considerations might have led farther those, who, feeling themselves unable to overcome it, stooped in the way.
A body plunged into the water loses its vertical situation by this reason; that there is not a sufficient disproportion of weight between the part that is to keep at the surface of the water, and that which must lie below. Now, when that body, which they intend to fix in its right situation, is a boat, it is very plain that her depth does not allow a sufficient weight to be put at the bottom, and the top to be made sufficiently light, to righten her, whenever the motion of the sea makes her lose her true situation. Now suppose that, instead of putting the ballast inside of the boat, they would put it outside, all along the lower edge of the keel. The weight of the ballast thus fixed, by supposition, and acting therefore at the extremity of a lever somewhat longer than before, would have a somewhat greater effect. But it might yet, in many cases, prove insufficient. Was it not for that, they could simply charge the keel with lead or iron strongly fastened or adapted to it. But we want a more powerful means than that, and this is it.
Suppose that some moveable levers, of a length and strength proportioned to the size of the boat, be vertically applied, and well secured in two points of their upper ends, to certain parts of her, as the bow, the stern, the starboard and larboard sides; let us fix at the lower extremity of each of these levers a weight proportioned to its strength. Now, let the motion of the sea be what it will, it is self-evident that, not only the levers, through the water, will counteract any sudden motion of the boat, but also, whenever the pressure of the waves will
tend to overlet her, she will instantly be righted by the powerful resistance of the weights at the extremities of the levers, which resistance will grow stronger and stronger in proportion as the deviation of the keel from its perpendicular situation may be supposed to increase.
Those levers constitute the property of the boat that was the most difficult to obtain, viz. that of preserving her right situation—she then and moreover set.
Now I have to show, first, how she can be made to prevent her sinking, (even if filled with water, by supposition) secondly, how she will not fill.
Let a quantity of any matter that will float, such as empty boxes, or hollow bodies hermetically sealed, empty barrels or kegs covered all over with oiled canvas, but, more especially, a quantity of cork (which is much the lightest) be well secured, tied or nailed to, or lodged in the body of the boat; in such a manner, however, if they choke it, as to let the hold afterwards be easily cleared, and the boat be made ready for common use in port. Let that quantity be determined by the comparison of the specific gravity of the cork with that of the bodies it is to support, and be such as to make the boat (even if designedly filled with water) freely float with men, the weights, and the things she is to carry; then another condition will be accomplished—the boat will not sink.
Now, to prevent her from filling, the means are plain—I give her a deck which is fixed, if they choose it, only when a vessel is going to sea, and being afterwards taken off in port, is no hindrance to the common use of boats in general, to carry goods, &c. That deck is caulked and well secured every where against the water that may run over it. To throw out that which may however find its way into the hold, I fix a small pump to the deck—that condition the boat will not fill.
These three conditions being fulfilled, the boat neither fills, sinks, nor oversets; it remains only for me to show how I use her, and manage every thing about her.
I shall first observe, that out of the three above conditions, one might very well be dispensed with; for if a boat can neither fill nor overlet, there is no occasion to make her such as not to sink if designedly filled; the cork, therefore, in that respect, might be regarded as a kind of superabundant caution; but when placed on the outside of the boat, as will be seen, it will cause her to rise wonderfully quick over the waves.
The feats of the men are made in this manner: There are in the deck, holes of about 15 inches by 17, through which each man passes his legs, to sit upon a corresponding bench that is a little below, so as to have the deck above his lips; all around each of these holes there is a piece of canvas well nailed, that encompasses the man round about his waist, and closes the whole against the water. The men, in that situation, will either row or paddle, if the weather permits, or, if it does not, merely withstand the shocks of the waves, being so conveniently placed as to lean on all sides with hands and feet on the deck, the bottom, and the sides of the boat.
The compass, the lead, a quantity of liquor and provisions, &c. are placed in the hold. The anchor, the masts and sails, the oars and paddles are, during the tempest, strongly tied on the deck.
Hooks are also provided for small & large fish, and harpoons tied on the deck, as in such extremities men have often been known to support themselves with raw fish.
Whenever the weather permits to make way, the levers are taken in or drawn up, the weights close to the keel. They must be so arranged as to be put in the water either all their length, or a part of it, and thus be made longer or shorter at will, according to the motion of the sea, and the depth of the water—they are replaced if hard weather again comes on.
Description of the Wreck-Raft.
On board some vessels, such as the men of war, there are more people than the boats can take in; some other means of preservation, therefore, must be provided. They will be found in the raft I shall now describe.
I take four boards or planks of an equal length, and make of them the four sides of a square, by strongly joining them end to end; to each of them I fix a considerable quantity of cork, either by means of canvas nailed to the board, or of a net that holds it. Other means, which I have above mentioned,

might occasionally be a substitute, or employed in addition to the cork; but this, in point of fact, is, as I have observed, for superior. From one side of the square to the opposite place, in a parallel direction, one or two other boards of the same kind, and of the same length. They must be placed at such a distance from each other as to give a free passage to the fluid, and let the raft freely rise whenever the sea covers it.
In proportion to the dimensions of the boards, their number, and the quantity of cork, or other floating bodies that have been employed, that raft will support more or less people. If there were but few men, they could sit on it; otherwise they must stand in the water with cork waistcoats, holding a rope in their hands, and being tied with another rope under the arm-pits, which ropes hang from the raft.
On the deck and along the sides, as well inside as outside of every vessel, the several pieces of as many rates of this kind as necessary can be placed, ready prepared, and loaded with all their appurtenances, that I shall soon describe. They make but a small incumbrance, and can be put together in an instant.
So far the men, in case of ship-wreck, are kept afloat; and that, in many of the wrecks which happen on the coast, would be enough to save their lives.
To make the raft navigable, paddles are tied on it in which men, then sitting on it, will handle, to move and steer it. Moreover, on some points of the said raft, and rather on the central boards, there are properly managed where small light poles or masts can be securely fixed. These, together with their small sails, are strongly tied on the raft in hard weather; but in fair weather the raft will glide with one, two, or more sails, in proportion to its size.
It remains only to give it a keel and to steer it.
It will be steered by one or two large paddles, moving through strong iron rings.
As to the keel I make it in this manner: I distinguish two of the four sides of the raft, which must be the bow and the stern; the two others are the starboard and larboard sides. To each of these is fixed, on a part of its length, managed on purpose, and by strong iron rings, a wide board, which, moving round these rings, sometimes takes a vertical situation in the water, and sometimes holds underneath, and is tied horizontally close up against the side of the raft. The board at the leeward side takes the horizontal situation, and at the windward side on the contrary it falls, like the side of a folding table vertically in the water, where being fixed by ropes that held to the central board of the raft, it serves as a lee-board, and becomes a proper keel.
Description of the Sea-Swing Chair.
It is made on the same principle of the lever which I have developed. Suppose a man sitting on a chair let a box be held around him till to the height of his breast; let a door be placed in the five part of it, in such a manner as to show him to get out when necessary; let that box be lightened in the water by any means whatever, but rather, as I have observed, with cork fixed by canvas nailed to the board; or, to use a more proper expression, let its specific gravity be such as to make it support its whole load and leave the breast of the man clear above the water. Now let a lever be fixed through the bottom and centre of this box in a vertical line, but so managed as to be made longer or shorter at will, by descending or ascending through the bottom and the centre seat of the box. To the lower end of the said lever fix a weight; this will constantly command the bottom to its right situation, and will not permit the box to overset. Holes are made in the bottom and sides of the box so as to let the water freely flow through whenever the waves may fill it above the true level of the sea.
This box may not be quite so serviceable on the high seas as in a wreck on the coast; but in this latter case, and in the river navigation, it is as convenient a thing for a single person as could be imagined. For if we suppose a man sitting on the deck of a ship in that kind of chair, or close by it, should even the vessel overset, he would be safe, and, like a turtle, have nothing to fear but the breaking his shell.
It is not to be expected that this invention will not be opposed, laughed at and ridiculed in every shape. Were it otherwise, it would meet a better fate than most discoveries of which we have any knowledge. Inventions and more or less by vaccination, have met with enemies in every quarter; not only have the ignorant and alluring sneered, but even men of science have joined the list, and exerted whatever talents they possessed to bring them into public contempt. The couple has ever been, full to decay the invention, and when at length this has failed, the best resort is to deny the merit of the inventor, by denying his claim to originality. Whether the subject now in question will prove to be of that great use and importance, to confidently believed by Mr. Du Buc, it might be thought presumptuous in us to pretend to determine:
we will, however, without hesitation, say, that we think it at least, extremely plausible, and every way worthy the immediate attention of both seafaring and commercial men. From the Commercial Advertiser we extract the following letter of this gentleman, as expressive not only of his generosity, but of his unshaken confidence in the solid merit of the invention.
The Insubmersible and Impervious Boat The three first owners of vessels, who will undertake to have such a boat built within one month from this time, shall have a licence for the use of one such boat on board one vessel (as long as the vessel may last) For Notice, for which preference they will call upon Mr. Du Buc Marcelline, or write to him at New-York Post Office, and shall receive in writing his abovementioned promise. Besides, Mr. D. M. will give any information that may be wanted, and probably procure, (if they will it) the same ship-carpenter who built his boat.
FIRST LEGION. ATTENTION!
At a Legionary Court of Enquiry, held on the 17th day of March last, in obedience to a law passed at the last session of Congress, entitled, "An act more effectual to provide for the organization of the Militia of the District of Columbia," ordered that the following be the Uniform to be worn by all non-commissioned officers and privates belonging to the battalion companies of the first Legion while on duty, viz. A DARK BLUE COAT of ordinary length, WHITE VEST, WHITE BREECHES, and WHITE STOCKINGS, or WHITE PANTS, and WHITE STOCKINGS, or WHITE OVERALLS, with SHOES and ROUND BLACK HATS; which Uniform having been approved by the Brigadier General, is now published by order of the said court.
WM. D. BEALL, Clerk of L. C. V.
Sec. 27. And he is further enacted, That all non-commissioned officers and privates belonging to battalion companies, that appear while on duty, uniformly clothed, the color and fashion of which uniforms to be determined on the respective Legions, by the respective courts of enquiry which shall be held, and to be approved by the Brigadier General; provided the expense of the same, additional to that of usual, ordinary, and the proceeding, does not exceed five dollars for each person, and every such non-commissioned officer, or private, or first, or private, appearing at any muster held after three months from the time that such uniform shall have been determined on, and the order relative thereto shall have been published, in some newspaper within the legionary district, and not wearing the same, shall be fined five dollars for each offence, unless he can make it appear to the satisfaction of the court of enquiry of the battalion to which he may belong, that he was unable to equip himself.
LEHIGH NAVIGATION. LOTTERY. SECOND CLASS.
Five thousand dollars the highest prize!
THIS Lottery will positively commence a drawing at the city of Philadelphia, on the first Monday of September next. The prizes will be paid thirty days after its conclusion, of which public notice will be given. Such as are not demanded within twelve months shall be considered as relinquished for the benefit of the Navigation. The Managers depend principally upon the proceeds of this Lottery for funding the Navigation of the Lehigh. This will open an intercourse by water to Philadelphia of above four hundred miles, including only twelve and an half miles portage near its conjunction with the Susquehanna at Wilkesbarre, thereby forming a new source of trade, affording a plentiful supply of coal, lumber, &c. the advantages of which will be immense; and an easy conveyance to the owners of lands and farms in the vicinity by which they can send their produce to market.

WANTED, One or two Boys to learn the BOOT and SHOEMAKING Business. Apply to JOHN CROOKSHANK. George Town, Jan. 19, 1803.
MR. DE SALLO, the first Inventor of Periodical Publications.
In the year 1792, when Paris was afflicted with a long and severe famine, M. de Sallo, returning from a Summer's evening walk, with only a little foot-boy, was accosted by a man, who presented his pistol, and, in a manner far from the resolutions of a hardened robber, asked him for his money. M. de Sallo observing that he came to the wrong man, and that he could get little from him, added: "I have only three pistols about me, which are not worth a sou; so, much good may you do with them; but let me tell you, you are in a bad way." The man took them, and without asking him for more, walked off with an air of decision and terror.
The fellow was no sooner gone, than M. de Sallo ordered the boy to follow him, to see where he went, and to give him an account of every thing. The lad obeyed; followed him through several obscure streets, and at length saw him enter a baker's shop, where he observed him change one of the pistols, and buy a large brown loaf. With this purchase he went a few doors farther, and entering an alley, ascended a pair of stairs. The boy crept up after him to the fourth floor, where he saw him go into a room, which had no light but what it received from the moon; and peeping through a crevice he perceived him throw it on the floor, and burst into tears, saying, "There, eat your fill; that's the dearest loaf I ever bought; I have robbed a gentleman of three pistols; let us husband them well, and let me have no more teasing; for soon or late these doings must bring me to the gallows; and all to satisfy your clamours." His lamentations were answered by those of the whole family; and his wife having at length calmed the agony of his mind, took up the loaf, and cutting it, gave four pieces to four starving children.
The boy having thus happily performed his commission, returned home, and gave his master an account of every thing that he had seen and heard. M. de Sallo, who was much moved, ordered the boy to call him at five in the morning. This business gentleman arose at the time appointed, and taking the boy with him to show him the way, enquired, in the neighbourhood, about the character of a man who lived in such a garret, with a wife and four children; when he was told that he was a very industrious good kind of a man; that he was a shoemaker, and a neat workman, but was overburthened with a family, and had a hard struggle to live in such bad times.
Satisfied with this account, M. de Sallo ascended into the shoemaker's garret; and knocking at the door, it was opened by the poor man himself, who knowing that he had robbed him the evening before, fell at his feet, and implored his mercy, pleading the extreme distress of his family, and begging that he would forgive his theft. M. de Sallo desired him to make no noise, for he had no intention to hurt him. "You have a good character among your neighbourhood," said he, "but until I expect that your life will soon be cut short, if you are now so wicked as to continue the freedom you took with me. Hold your hand; here are thirty pistols to your leather; husband it well, and let your children an example. To put you out of further temptations to commit such ruinous and fatal actions, I will encourage your industry; I hear you are a neat workman, and you shall take measure of me, and of this boy, for two pair of shoes each, and he shall call upon you for them. The whole family was struck with joy and gratitude. M. de Sallo departed, greatly moved, and with a mind filled with satisfaction, at having saved a man, and perhaps a family, from the commission of guilt, from an ignominious death, & perhaps from eternal perdition. Never was a day better begun; the consciousness of having performed such an action, whenever it occurs to the mind of a reasonable being, must be attended with pleasure, and that self-complacency and secret approbation, which is more desirable than gold, and all the pleasures of the earth."

LONDON, April 30.—Two o'clock.
The French papers received to day mention that the emperor has resolved in compliance with the demand made to him, to ratify the conclusion of the diet without any restriction, and that this determination has been transmitted to Paris and Petersburg by extraordinary couriers. The indemnities have in almost every instance been already carried into execution, and the court of Nassau-Orange has published the convention concluded between the late Smithholder and the hereditary prince, by which the former gives up to the latter all the indemnities which have been assigned him in the German empire.
An article from Milan, dated the 18th inst. states, that a letter of the 9th had been received there from Naples, by which information was brought, that the arrival of an English vessel at the latter place had occasioned a council of state to be held, after which the French minister had sent a courier to Paris in all haste. This courier was despatched about twelve hours after the English vessel had entered the harbour. This event had of course given rise to a variety of contradictory rumours. Among others it was said, that a convention had been concluded with France to receive 20,000 men in the Neapolitan ports in case of war, and that a negotiation with England relative to Sicily had been broken off.
Letters have been received at Bucharest, from Constantinople, dated March 29, which states, that the Arabian prophet Abdul Wechab, has defeated the Sherreer of Mecca, and dispersed his troops. Some details in the German Journals contain most formidable accounts of this rebel. It is said he is in connection with France. He is also secretly supported, according to report, by some of the Turkish Pashas; and he is no less an object in view, than to dethrone the Grand Seignor and occupy his seat. His cause is that of religion. He heads the sect of sals, in opposition to the sect of Omar. As he is said to have the favour of Ibrahim and Damasco in his interest, and to command Arabia, his defeat will be happy news to those who think our East India possessions so very susceptible through Egypt.
Altona, April 9.—We are on the eve of seeing a new war break out, the cause of which is a bridge.
The King of Sweden has appropriated to himself a bridge on the frontiers of Finland—has forbidden the passage of it to the subjects of Russia—has effaced the Imperial Eagles at the barriers—and has substituted for the arms of Sweden. These measures, and other pretensions in the same quarter on the part of Sweden, have made such an impression at St. Petersburg, that the emperor Alexander, the king of Sweden's brother-in-law, notwithstanding his love of peace, has thought it essential to his dignity and interest to adopt efficacious measures. All the regiments in Petersburg, even the guards have received orders to be ready to march at twenty four hours notice. General Kamen-skoi is gone to St. Petersburg, and will march at the head of an army towards Swedish Finland. The fleet of galleys is to be equipped, as well as a number of ships of the line.
It is to be hoped, however, that Sweden will avoid a war. These circumstances bring to recollection, the order given last year by the king of Sweden, forbidding the Count de Panin, Minister of Russia to enter his territories.
PARIS, April 29.
Letters from Canton announce that on the 24 of December, there was at Peking by order of the Emperor, public rejoicings on the occasion of a signal victory gained by the troops of his Chinese Majesty, 15 days before, over the rebels in the district of Kio. In the mean time by advices from those quarters it is feared that the revolution has extended itself throughout the Chinese Empire.
They write from Bruxelles, that the magnificent carriage which is to take the First Consul to the frontiers of the department of the Dyle, is just finished; it was made in the space of 25 days; its elegance, its richness and the superb paintings which have been placed in it by the most able pencils, render the work of it very costly. This carriage is to be presented to Bonaparte, in the name of the city of Bruxelles.
The Chamber of Commerce of the city of Anvers, will give to the First Consul a sumptuous feast, and offer it to him in the place of the exchange, which is preparing for this purpose with all possible diligence. This building will be ornamented with sundry paintings, and allegories, which witness the gratitude of the inhabitants of Anvers towards him who has rendered them the free navigation of the Elcout.
Augustus Ernouf, general of division, inspector general of infantry, captain
general of Guadalupe and its dependencies, to the inhabitants of Guadalupe.
Sent by the First Consul to take the command of this colony, it is very agreeable to me after the great convulsions which it has experienced, to find it in that state of tranquility, which leads all to look forward to the establishment of its former splendour.
While by the care of the immortal Bonaparte France enjoys the blessings of a paternal government and a protector, shall Guadalupe be deprived of these advantages? No, citizens, the solicitude of this hero extends itself to this interesting portion of France. He wishes Guadalupe to be happy, and it shall be so. I esteem myself happy in having been chosen to execute his wishes. I look to be supported by the zeal of all good citizens. A stranger to all the factions, which have rent the colony, I shall know none. I believe them extinguished. There ought to exist here only the friends of the government; the law shall make example of those who shew themselves its enemies. How the love of country seems to rally all the inhabitants. A new order of things is going to be established by the judicious harmony which will reign between the governor and the constituted authorities.
Banish from your remembrance every thing which can disturb your peace of mind. It is the act of pigmy souls alone, who are incapable of pardoning small errors, which, perhaps have resulted more from peculiar circumstances, than premeditated wickedness. The inhabitants of Guadalupe are known as much by their generosity, as by their courage.
Peaceable colony! Respectable men! Your tranquility has been often interrupted by the flames of anarchy; a strict economy which will extend itself over all branches of government, will mitigate those charges which unrelieved and impetuous events have forced to be established: Confidence, that soul of commerce will rise anew, and Guadalupe will see again flourishing in its port, as great a number of vessels as frequented it before.
Inhabitants of Guadalupe, your happiness will be my sole solicitude, and the object of all my desires. May they be promptly realized.
Done at Belleterre, the twenty fifth Floréal, 11th year of the French Republic.

WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, JUNE 17.
Some weeks ago the following paragraph appeared in the National Intelligencer.
"The Frederick-Town Herald, a federal print, after giving the debate in the House of Representatives on Mr. Griswold's resolution respecting the report of the commissioners of the sinking fund, observes,"
"We cannot close these remarks, without paying a tribute of justice to Mr. Brown, one of the editors of the Gazette of the United States, to whom the public are indebted for this report of the debate on Mr. Griswold's resolution. The precision and correctness, with which the different calculations are reported, and the clearness and force with which the arguments, on this complicated subject, are stated, exhibit at once the accuracy and attention of the reporter, and the knowledge and judgment of the politician."
"Now it happens, unfortunately, for the subject of this eulogium, that he was not present during the debate. The editor of the National Intelligencer was the only reporter in the House."
Relating to an object of but little importance, it was not supposed that it could excite much animadversion. Contrary, however, to that expectation, it has been noticed in several of the federal prints in language of uncommon severity, and the original falsehood it detected has been improved by many additional ones.
It is not usual for the National Intelligencer to repel charges in which party violence and indecorum indicate the motives in which they originate, when those charges respect the editor himself. He deems it his duty to state the truth, and is then, generally speaking, contented to let federal folly indulge its harmless affectations; knowing full well that they cannot injure him. Did his paper term with the familiarity that characterises theirs, he might, for self justification, resort to similar means. But he declines once for all to say that he will not disgrace his press by suffering it to be filled with the insignificant calumnies of editors applied to himself.
In this instance, it may be proper to say that the statement, originally incorrect in the National Intelligencer, is corrected. Mr. Brown was not present in the character of a reporter. I present at all, he mixed with the throng. While the Editor was engaged in taking notes a federal member accosted him with these words, "You will be able, as you alone are taking notes, to show your impartiality." The Editor's recollection might in common cases fail him; in this it is not possible from this circumstance.
It may not be amiss here to add that the reports of debates, as generally given in the Gazette of the United States, are unworthy of the name, and betray a mutilation and unfairness unprecedented in exhibiting the debates of a public body.
CITIZENS OF WASHINGTON!
The day approaches which freemen most revere;—the day which merits eternal celebration from the principles it established. It is time that measures should be taken to celebrate it with appropriate honors. Much of the splendor and pleasure of the day will depend upon early arrangements. It is hoped those arrangements will soon be made. No thoughts on the measures proper to be taken are suggested. They are submitted to the good sense of the citizens. The only present object is to awaken attention.
CANTON RACES.

Washington (Ken.) May 26.
Indian hostilities.—Mr. Daniel Wall, who arrived from Natches on Monday last, has been polite enough to
give us the following important, though melancholy intelligence.
As one Joseph White, a Mr. Stapleton, and our informant were passing through the wilderness together, they were fired on by two Indians who lay in ambush by the road side. There must have been two balls in each of the Indians guns, as that number passed through White's breast, which instantly terminated his existence, and the same through our informant's hat. Two other Indians were standing off a few yards who did not fire, but attempted to catch the horses that were following with the packs, and that of the deceased, but did not effect it. The survivors were pursued several miles, the Indians frequently appearing in sight, and among them a white man was plainly discovered. When they arrived at Duck river settlement, about fifteen miles on this side of the place where the attack was made, a party went back and got the money which our informant and his companion had hid, but saw nothing of the Indians, nor could they find Mr. Wall's horse.
A few nights before this attack, which was on Friday the 15th inst. our informant was told, a party had been fired on five times, were drove from their camp, and lost all their money and a gun, but no person was killed or wounded. On the 15th, another party was attacked, and pursued 7 or 8 miles by persons on horseback. As our informant passed through the nation, he saw a Mr. Patterson, from near Lexington, who had a few days before been badly wounded in the shoulder and arm by the savages.
Extract of a letter from Edward Tiffin, Esq. governor of the State of Ohio, to a gentleman of Baltimore, dated Chillicothe, May 27, 1803.
"We have had an alarm from the Indians, two white men have been killed and one wounded, and one Indian of the Shawnee nation—I have just returned from the frontiers, and am happy to find it has originated from private quarrels with the individuals who have suffered, and without the knowledge of the chiefs, who are very sorry on hearing of the affair, and sincerely disposed to cultivate peace and harmony with the white people. We have imprudent men settled on our frontiers, and the Indians have inconsiderate young warriors amongst them.—It requires much prudence and address to keep both sides in order."
A patent has been obtained in England for a Metallic Cement for covering and preserving the bottom of vessels. It is a composition of pulverized metals, and costs but about 1-10th of the price of copper.
An Irish Baker in St. Giles's was heard to declare within these few days, that, if the French should attempt to invade our shores, he was so confident of English hospitality, that they would be treated with red hot rolls.
New-York, June 14.
An American merchant at New-Orleans, under date of May 16th, writes to his correspondents in this city per the brig Union as follows:—"The pleasing account, that general Wilkinson has received the Royal Proclamation for OPENING THE PORT OF NEW ORLEANS, reached us this morning. It has already given to our business a considerable degree of activity."
Philadelphia, June 14.
Letters as late as the 22d of May are received from New-Orleans, by the Augusta, arrived on Saturday. These state, that in consequence of the Restoration of the Deposit, business had greatly revived.
NEW-YORK, June 13.
FROM NEW-ORLEANS—May 11. "The Marquis de Casa Calvo arrived here last evening, with the royal order to deliver up this province to the French officer who may be charged with its duplicate. I have learnt from good authority that the captain general of Cuba disapproves of the intendant's conduct and that he had ordered the deposit to be opened some time since unless the royal order to the contrary had been received.—The Marquis was surprised to find it yet shut. All this is a tissue of riddles, which time only will develop."
Another letter—same date. "Marquis de Casa Calvo arrived here yesterday from Havannah, he is jointly named with the governor of Louisiana to deliver up the country to the French."
Yesterday arrived the brig Union, captain Brown, in 26 days from New-Orleans. Capt. B. informs that he left that place on the 16th ult. A few days previous to which the magazine, stores, &c. had been given up by the Spaniards to the officer appointed for that purpose by the French government. On the 1st of June, in lat. 23, 18, capt. Brown spoke the brig John and Mary, Pervis, of Charleston, out 10 days from New-Orleans bound to Havre, who reported
that the right of deposit was restored to the Americans on the 17th of May. Off the Havannah, on the 28th May, was informed by the captain of the light vessel from Jamaica, bound to Salem, that he had received intelligence from a vessel from Havannah, that that port was open for the admission of flour, in American vessels, and that it was selling at 50 dollars per barrel.
Petersburg, June 10.
The Upper Appomattox Canal has progressed so far, as to afford considerable advantages to the upper country. The canal has already approached to within three miles of the town of Petersburg. The following is the amount of produce brought down the canal in the three months ending the 31st ultimo.
128 hogsheads tobacco. 5209 bushels wheat. 6514 barrels flour. 78 barrels corn.
Battleborough, June 6.
Gen. MARTIN CHITTENDEN, is elected to represent the N. W. district of this state in the next Congress. He had a majority of upwards 400 over col. Hay.
INLAND NAVIGATION.
It is a pleasing circumstance to find the Directors of the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal Company proceeding with so much spirit and dispatch in the execution of the work committed to them. Monday the 6th inst. was the day appointed for their adjourned meeting at Wilmington. They all attended from each State, and in the course of the day formed themselves into a board and entered upon business.
Their sitting was continued on Tuesday—A system of rules for the government of the board was adopted; a plan of immediate operation settled; and a committee appointed to attend to the execution of it.
Their adjournment is to the fourth Tuesday in July next. We understand that the board have agreed to employ Mr. Latrobe, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. C. Howard, of Maryland, in the characters of engineers and surveyors, to examine the ground and streams between the certain points on the waters of the two bays. No time is to be lost in making the survey preparatory to fixing upon the route of the canal; and it is expected that not only the important question as to the route will be settled, but sufficient arrangements completed during this season to enable the director to enter upon the grand work early in the ensuing year.
It is surprising that this project should have slept so long a time. No scheme has ever been proposed which at the same time combined such extensive general interest and so certain a private profit.
The inland navigation, it would afford, generally, but more especially in time of war, would be a national advantage extending to the whole community. The States of Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania have their several interests in the success of the plan: but on no other event does the future prosperity and greatness of the City of Philadelphia so much depend.
The branches of the Susquehanna must in time absorb the interior trade of Pennsylvania, and how can the city of Philadelphia ever share in the trade of that river, except by the means of the proposed canal. Let the people of Philadelphia wait till Baltimore has acquired a certain capital and character in the western country, and even the canal will not enable them to divert the trade of the Susquehanna. The public mind should be allowed to sleep no longer over this great work.
There is nothing visionary in the plan. Its practicability is certain, and its expense capable of precise calculation. No scheme of the fort ever promised a greater or faster gain to the stockholders.
The work completed—it is exposed to no dangers; and, promising to be the great Highway not only between Baltimore and Philadelphia, but also for the produce of the western country, it cannot fail to yield ample and permanent profits.
