AN INAUGURAL SPEECH.
As we are told that Mr. Jefferson has resolved to make us all miserable by not suffering himself to be again chosen President; we are curious to know on whom Mr. Ritchie has fixed as his successor. We wish he were such a man as on his induction could address the people in a speech like the following; or that the present administration were such an one as could be spoken of in the terms therein made use of.
(Norfolk Ledger.)
"When it was first perceived, in early times, that no middle course for America remained, between unlimited submission to a foreign legislature, and a total independence of its claims; men of reflection were less apprehensive of danger, from the formidable power of fleets and armies, which they must determine to resist, than from those contests and dissensions which would certainly arise, concerning the forms of government to be instituted, over the whole, and over the parts of this extensive country. Relying, however, on the purity of their intentions, the justice of their cause, and the integrity and intelligence of the people, under an over-ruled Providence, which had so signally protected this country from the first, the representatives of this nation, then consisting of little more than half their present number, not only broke to pieces the chains which had forged, and the rod of iron that was fixed up, but frankly cut asunder the ties which had bound them, and launched into an ocean of uncertainty."
"The zeal and ardour of the people, during the revolutionary war, supplying the place of government, commanded a degree of order, sufficient at least for the temporary preservation of society. The confederation, which was early felt to be necessary, was prepared from the models of the Batavian and Helvetic confederacies; the only examples which remain, with any detail and precision, in history; and certainly the only ones which the people at large had ever considered. But reflecting on the striking difference, in so many particulars, between this country and those, where a courier may go from the seat of government to the frontier in a single day, it was then certainly foreseen, by some who assisted in Congress at the formation of it, that it could not be durable."
"Negligence of its regulations, inattention to its recommendations, if not disobedience to its authority, not only in individuals but in states, soon appeared with their melancholy consequences; universal languor, jealousies, and rivalries of states—decline of navigation and commerce; discouragement of necessary manufactures; universal fall in the value of lands and their produce; contempt of public and private faith; loss of consideration and credit with foreign nations; and at length in discontented animosities, combinations, partial conventions, and insurrections, threatening some great national calamity."
"In this dangerous crisis, the people of America were not abandoned by their usual good sense, presence of mind, or integrity. Measures were pursued to concert a plan, to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty. The public disquisitions, discussions, and deliberations, issued in the present happy constitution of government."
"Employed in the service of my country abroad, during the whole course of these transactions, I first saw the constitution of the United States in a foreign country. Irritated by no literary altercations, animated by no public debate, heated by no party animosity, I read it with great satisfaction, as a result of good heads, prompted by good hearts; as an experiment better adapted to the genius, character, situation, and relations of this nation and country, than any which had ever been proposed or suggested. In its general principles and great outlines, it was conformable to such a system of government as I had ever most esteemed; and in some states, my own native state in particular, had contributed to establish. Claiming a right of suffrage, in common with my fellow citizens, in the adoption or rejection of a constitution which was to rule me and my posterity, as well as them and theirs, I did not hesitate to express my approbation of it on all occasions, in public and in private. It was not then, nor has been since, any objection to it, in my mind, that the executive and senate were not more permanent. Nor have I ever entertained a thought of promoting any alteration in it, but such as the people themselves, in the
course of their experience, should see and feel to be necessary or expedient, by their representatives in Congress, and the state legislatures, according to the constitution itself, to adopt or ordain."
"Returning to the bosom of my country, after a painful separation from it for ten years I had the honor to be elected to a station under the new order of things; and I have repeatedly laid myself under the most serious obligations to support the constitution. The operation of it has equalled the most sanguine expectations of its friends; and from an habitual attention to it, satisfaction in its administration, and delight in its effects upon the peace, order, prosperity and happiness of the nation, I have acquired an habitual attachment to, and veneration for it."
"What other form of government indeed can so well deserve our esteem and love?"
"There may be little solidity in an accidental idea, that congregations of men into cities & nations are the most pleasing objects in the sight of superior intelligences; but this is very certain, that to a benevolent, humane mind, there can be no spectacle presented, by any nation, more pleasing, more noble, majestic, or august, than an assembly, like that which has so often been in this and the other chamber of congress, of a government in which the executive authority, as well as that of all the branches of the legislature, are exercised by citizens selected, at regular periods by their neighbors, to make and execute laws for the general good. Can any thing essential, any thing more than mere ornament, and decoration, be added to this by robes or diamonds? Can authority be more amiable or respectable, when it descends from accidents, or insinuations established in remote antiquity, than when it springs fresh from the hearts and judgment of an honest and enlightened people? For it is the people only that are represented; it is their power and majesty that is reflected, and only for their good, in every legitimate government under whatever form it may appear. The existence of such a government as ours for a length of time, is a full proof of the general dissemination of virtue throughout the whole body of the people. And what object or consideration more pleasing than this can be presented to the human heart? If national pride is ever justifiable or excusable, it is when it springs, not from power or riches, grandeur or glory, but from conviction of national innocence, information and benevolence."
"In the midst of these pleasing ideas we should be unfaithful to ourselves, if we should lose sight of the danger to our liberties; if any thing partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous and independent elections. If a election is to be determined by a majority of a single vote, and that can be procured by a party, through artifice or corruption, the government may be the choice of a party for their own ends, not not of the nation, for the national good. If that solitary suffrage can be obtained by foreign nations, by flattery or menaces, by fraud or violence, by terror or intrigue or venality, the government may not be the choice of the American people, but of foreign nations. It may be foreign nations who govern us, and not we, the people, who govern ourselves. And candid men will acknowledge, that in such cases, choice should have little advantage to boast of, over lot or chance."
"Such is the amiable and interesting system of government (and such are some of the abuses to which it may be exposed) which the people of America have exhibited to the admiration and anxiety of the wise and virtuous of all nations, for eight years, under the administration of a citizen, who, by a long course of great actions, regulated by prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude; conducting a people inspired by the same virtues, and animated with the same ardent patriotism and love of liberty, to independence and peace, to increasing wealth and unexampled prosperity; has merited the gratitude of his fellow citizens, commanded the highest praises of foreign nations, and secured immortality with posterity!"
"In that retirement which is his voluntary choice, may he long live to enjoy the delicious recollection of his services, the gratitude of mankind, the happy fruits of them to himself and world, which are daily increasing, and that splendid prospect of the future fortunes of his country, which is opening from year to year. His name may be still a rampart, & the knowledge that he lives, a bulwark against all open or secret enemies of his country's peace."
"His example has been recommended to the imitation of his successors, by both Houses of Congress, and by the voice of the Legislatures and the people throughout the nation."
"On this subject it might become me better to be silent, or to speak with diffidence; but as something may be expected, the occasion, I hope will be admitted as an apology, if I venture to say, that—"
"If a preference, upon principle, of a free republican government, formed upon a long and serious reflection, after a diligent and impartial enquiry after truth; if an attachment to the constitution of the United States, and a conscientious determination to support it, until it shall be altered by the judgments and wishes of the people, expressed in the mode prescribed in it; if a respectful attention to the constitutions of the individual States, and a constant caution and delicacy towards the state governments; if an equal and impartial regard to the rights, interests, and honor of all the states of the union, without preference or regard to a northern or a southern, an eastern or a western position, their various political opinions on unessential points, or their personal attachments; if a love of science and letters, and a wish to patronize every rational effort to encourage schools, colleges, universities, academies, and every institution for propagating knowledge, virtue, and religion, among all classes of people, not only for their benign influence on the happiness of life, in all its stages and classes, and of society in all its forms; but as the only means of preserving a constitution from its natural enemies, the spirit of sophistry, the spirit of party, the spirit of intrigue, the profligacy of corruption, and the pestilence of foreign influence, which is the angel of destruction to elective governments; if a love of equal laws, of justice, and humanity, in all the interior administration; if an inclination to improve agriculture, commerce, and manufactures, for necessity, convenience, and defence; if a spirit of amity and humanity towards the aboriginal natives of America, and a disposition to mitigate their condition, by inclining them to be more friendly to us, and our citizens to be more friendly to them; if an inflexible determination to maintain peace and inviolable faith with all nations, and that system of neutrality and impartiality towards the belligerent powers of Europe, which has been adopted by this government, and so solemnly sanctioned by both houses of congress, and applauded by the legislatures of the states and the public opinion, until it shall be otherwise ordained by congress, if a personal esteem for the French nation, formed in a residence of seven years, chiefly among them, and a sincere desire to preserve the friendship which has been so much for the honor and interest of both nations; if, while the conscious honor and integrity of the people of America, and the internal sentiment of their own powers and energies, must be preserved, an earnest endeavor to investigate every just cause and remove every colorable pretence of complaints; if an intention to pursue, by amicable negotiation, a reparation for the injuries that have been committed on the commerce of our fellow citizens, by whatever nation, and if success cannot be obtained, to lay the facts before the legislature, that they may consider what further measures to the honor and interest of the government and its constituents demands; if a resolution to do justice, as far as may depend on me, at all times and to all nations, and maintain peace, friendship, and benevolence with all the world; if an unshaken confidence in the honor, spirit, and resources of the American people, on which I have so often hazarded my all, and never been deceived; if elevated ideas of the high destinies of this country, and of my own duties towards it, founded on a knowledge of the moral principles, and intellectual improvements of the people, deeply engraven on my mind in early life, and not obscured but exalted by experience and age; and, with humble reverence, I feel it to be my duty to add, if a veneration for the religion of a people, who profess to be and call themselves Christians, and a fixed resolution to consider a decent respect for Christianity among the best recommendations for the public service;—if these can enable me, in any degree, to comply with your wishes, it shall be my strenuous endeavour that this laudable injunction of the two houses of Congress shall not be without effect."
"With this great example before me; with the sense and spirit, the faith and honor, the duty and interest, of the same American people, pledged to support the Constitution of the United States; I entertain no doubt of its continuance in all its energy; and my mind is prepared, without hesitation, to lay myself under the most solemn obligations to support it to the utmost of my power."
"And may that Being who is supreme over all, the patron of order, the fountain of justice, and the protector, in all ages of the world, of virtuous liberty, continue his blessings upon the nation and its government, and give it all possible success and duration consistent with the ends of his providence."

KINGSTON, (Jamaica) May 21.
The following is the petition presented to his honor the lieutenant governor, and his answer thereto, concerning the importation of lumber and certain articles of provisions, in American bottoms:
To his honor GEORGE NUGENT, esq. lieutenant governor and commander in chief, in and over his majesty's island of Jamaica, and the territories thereon depending, in America, chancellor, and vice admiral of the same.
"The representation and petition of the undersigned inhabitants of the city and parish of Kingston.
SHEWETH.
"That there exists at present in this city, and in the island at large, an alarming scarcity of provisions of all kinds, and of the necessary articles of lumber. The quantity on hand in this city, and the probable time for which it may suffice, being represented by the schedule hereunto annexed.
"That the suspension of our late intercourse with the United States of North America, must render a further supply of the above mentioned necessary articles very scanty and precarious, it having been abundantly proved by upwards of twenty years experience, that the British colonies are altogether inadequate to furnish our wants; and in time of war supplies in British bottoms, from the United States, cannot be, in any manner relied on.
"That accounts from the country present a still more alarming state of things; there being in many parishes not a single barrel of flour, meal, or bushel of grain for sale. That the evils represented to your honor, by the address of the honorable house of assembly, the twentieth of April last, not only exist in their full effect, but have materially increased since that period.
"That it will be absolutely impossible to prepare packages for the transportation of the produce of the island unless a supply of lumber shall also be permitted from the said United States, and without which the crops must necessarily perish on the ground.
"That your petitioners are seriously apprehensive, that unless they shall be permitted to be supplied from the U. S. in American bottoms, absolute famine must be the consequence.
"Your petitioners therefore, humbly pray, that your honor will take these circumstances into your consideration, and grant such relief as the nature of the case requires."
ANSWER.
"Gentlemen,
"I have taken into due consideration your representations of the scarcity of provisions and lumber in the city and parish of Kingston, and your petition to be permitted to be supplied with the necessary articles from the United States, in American bottoms, together with the statement of the committee entrusted to take on account of all the provisions and lumber for sale in Kingston: In consequence of which, and the representations from various other parishes in the island, I have determined, as a case of real and urgent necessity, to issue my proclamation, to authorise the importation of lumber of every description, and of certain articles of provisions, for six months from this date, in American bottoms, from the United States, and the exportation of rum and molasses in return."
"The inhabitants of the City and Parish of Kingston.
JAMAICA, ss.
By his honor, GEORGE NUGENT, esquire, lieutenant governor and commander in chief of his majesty's island of Jamaica, and the territories thereon depending in America.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, it appears by the memorials and returns from sundry parishes, that there is at present a very great scarcity throughout the island, of American provisions and lumber, and that a real and urgent necessity exists, for my exercising the discretionary power vested in me by his majesty, relative to the intercourse between this colony and the United States of America. I do therefore issue this my proclamation, permitting, for the space of six months to be computed from this date, the free importation of flour, corn, corn meal, bread, rice, peas, beans, and lumber of every description, in vessels belonging to neutral and other states, in amity with Great Britain, upon the like terms, charges, and conditions, and subject to the same rules, regulations, visitations, and searches as are observed with respect to British vessels in the like case.

and I do hereby also, permit all vessels and the foregoing articles under the provisions of this proclamation, to export thence, rum and molasses from any port or place or places of this island in the like terms, stipulations, charges conditions as are observed with respect to British vessels in the like cases. And that any person or persons importing any person or persons to this island, under the provisions of this proclamation, shall at- tempt to introduce any other articles than herein particularly enumerated, mea- sures will be immediately adopted for the seizure of the ship or vessel and cargo, so importing the laws of navigation.
Given under my hand and seal at arms at St. Jago de la Vega, this twentieth day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1805, and of his majesty's reign the forty fifth.
G. NUGENT. in honor's command, H. CATHCART, Secretary.
BALTIMORE, June 27. We have been politely favoured with the following by a gentleman of this city. Arrived, schooner Experiment, Travers, from Jamaica, 36 days passage. 28th inst., was detained off the Isle of Pines by the French privateer schooner Cashwater, Mattiatti, from St. Jago de Cuba, mounting one 4 pounder and about 20 men, and into the mouth of a small bay on the south side of said Island, detained 14 days, modestly requested part of my crew, and then let her proceed. This was a privateer which captured the American schooner American Lady, captain Enoch By, of Rhode Island, from the north of Jamaica, with rum, bound to N. Carolina. They landed the captain and crew on the Isle of Pines and sold vessel and cargo. Also, an American ship from Jamaica, bound to Norfolk, with rum, carried her off Buttabanno and sold her, supposed to be the ship Eliza, captain Evans, of Norfolk. This privateer schooner was at the time she made these captures command- ed by a captain Mussett, and from St. Ja- go de Cuba, though hailed from the city of St. Domingo.
15th June, off Port Mariel, in Cuba, was boarded by a British ship of war. The same day, the Pan of Mantanzas bearing E. saw a ship of war; but night coming on and it being very squally lost sight of her.
15th June, off Charleston, was boarded by a French armed schooner and treated politely.
List of American Vessels captured and sent into Jamaica, between the 8th of A- pril and 20th May. The American schooner Experiment, be- longing to New York, from the city of St. Domingo, with logwood and hides, one hundred and eleven passengers being forc- ed on board of her previous to her leaving that place, captured by a British ship of war. Sent in, tried in the court of vice- admiralty and acquitted. Captors appeal- ed, sold by order of the court, the captain not being able to give security.
The American schooner Courier, con- demned, vessel and cargo.
The American schooner Americana, of New York, condemned, vessel and cargo.
The American brig John and James, of Charleston, taken under Bonair, condem- ned vessel and cargo.
The schooner William and Mary, Tra- vers, of Baltimore, captured by the Bri- tish ship of war Fortuna, captain Van Sit- tard, between Bonair and Curacoa, con- demned, vessel and cargo.
The ship Benjamin, of Norfolk, taken by the French and carried into the bay of Hondy, cut out by the British ship of war Prince Charlotte, with a few slaves on board.

The American sch'r Ann and Harriot, of Rhode Island, bound to Jamaica, taken by a French privateer and retaken by a British sloop of war and sent in.
The American schooner William and George, captured by the British ship of war Blanche and sent in.
The American brig Washington, Slo-
comb, from Laguita, bound to Jamaica captured, and sent in.

The schooner William and Mary was ordered to be taken into government ser- vice, and an officer appointed to take the command. Iron ballast was taken on board and she was ordered down to Port Royal, without offering her at public sale or tak- ing her at any stipulated price. I inform- ed them by my agent, Mr. Campbell, that unless they would lodge 9000 dollars in the registry office, not to offer to move her, till sold at public sale, which was accordingly done.

We expect political intelligence to that date by the eastern mail of this morn- ing. The following articles are copied from a Liverpool Price Current of the 18th, inclosed in a letter to one of our commer- cial friends:

We have often expressed our astonish- ment that such a Marplot as Samuel H. Smith should be employed by the Presi- dent, to conduct the official paper. Smith is, every month or two, blundering into some concessions, which all the other democratic papers in the Union cannot explain a way.
The federalists have frequently taken the liberty to hint at the distinction be- tween the political parties in our cities; designating what class is generally oppos- ed to Mr. Jefferson, and in what class we are to find his friends. The democrats bluster at these contrasts, and affect to think that some decent people are advocates of the present administration. But let us observe what Mr. Smith says on this sub- ject. He is not supposing that an United Irishman arrives in America, but an " in- telligent foreigner with letters of introduc- tion. " Mr. Smith naturally supposes such a character enters into genteel com- pany, and there he traces the rise of his mean opinion of the present administra- tion; whereas, had he fallen into a grog shop, or among people whose situation in life prevents a general knowledge of politi- cal subjects and exposes them to be deceiv- ed, he would as naturally have joined the horde of Mr. Jeffersons admirers. To shew how the unfortunate mouthpiece has committed himself, we give our readers the following extract from the National In- telligencer of June 12th.
"The intelligent foreigner who visits the United States, is soon presented with a phenomenon most difficult of solution. His letters of introduction generally bring him, in the first instance, to the acquaint- ance of the votaries of fashion, who inha- bit our large towns. In their circles he hears the language of discontent and diss- atisfaction; he hears the government revil- ed, the principles of democracy denounced and those who maintain them held up to contempt or reprobation. He peruses the daily vehicles of public opinion, and finds them a faithful echo to the sentiments avowed in private circles. According to them the public affairs are in the hands of unprincipled men, devoid of every spark of patriotism; or of men so ignorant as to be entirely unable to discharge the duties of their stations. He perceives a torrent of obliquy incessantly flowing in upon them — Their private lives, equally with their public conduct are portrayed in the darkest colours."
"Not a measure is pursued which is not represented as originating in ignorance and fraud; and as calculated to injure the peo- ple and to disgrace them in the eyes of the world. The nation is represented as the most degraded on earth; as being nominal- ly free, but really enslaved. The worth- less demagogues, and the levity with which they bear their chains is treated with contu- melious scorn. Their political rights are represented as mere toys, as the rates with which they are kept silent and in subjection to their masters. Their assemblies for political purposes at elections are den- ominated mobs and scenes of riot, drunken- ness and quarrelling. They are said to be unable to select judicious rulers, and to take delight in raising to offices of the first dis- tinction men the most bankrupt in fortune and character, and the most devoid of ta- lent."
"The picture drawn of the state of the country is equally black. The government is represented as destitute of the respect of its own citizens, and as despicable in the eyes of the world. Industry is left to lan- guish, enterprize is chilled, wealth is afraid to embark on an ocean so fraught with dan- gers!"
This, allowing for some little exaggera- tions, the venial exuberances of his sprightly imagination, is a good and honest state- ment of the opinion, which any intelligent foreigner , if genteelly introduced, would form on his arriving in America; and now since it appears honestly in the President's paper, let us see who will dare to contra- dict it.
(Boston Repertory.)
From M c Kinnen's Tour in the West-Indies. The account given by Mr. M c Kinnen of John Teach, the famous pirate, known in the Bahamas by the name of Black Beard, is extremely entertaining; and shows that at a period much more recent than the age of the Buccaneers, the trad-
of depredation was carried on systemati- cally, and to an enormous extent, in the Carabeen seas. This freebooter lived in the reign of George the second:
"This extraordinary man had united in his fortunes a desperate and formida- ble gang of pirates, styling himself their commodore, and assuming the authority of a legitimate chief. Under a wild fig- tree, the trunk of which still remains, and was shown to me in the eastern part of the town, he used to sit in council amongst his banditti, concerting or promulgating his plans, and exercising the authority of a magistrate. His piracies were often carried on near the English settlements on the coast of North America, where he met with extraordinary success. Perhaps in the history of human depravity, it would be difficult to select actions, more brutal and extravagant than Black Beard's; biogra- pher has recorded of him. As the narra- tive to which I allude is generally credited, and bears strong internal evidence of truths it may be amusing to mention a few parti- culars of a man who was for some time considered as sovereign of that island."
"In person as well as in disposition, this desperado, who was a native of Eng- land, seems to have been qualified for the chief of a gang of thieves. The effect of his beard, which gave a natural ferocity to his countenance, was always solicited to heighten, by suffering it to grow to an immoderate length, and twisting it about in small tails like a Ramillies wig; whence he derived the name of Black Beard. His portrait in time of action is described as that of a complete fury; with three brace of pistols in holsters over his shoulders like bandoliers; and lighted matches under his hat, sticking out over each of his ears. All authority as well as admiration amongst the pirates was conferred on those who committing every outrage on humanity, displayed the greatest audacity and extra- vagance. Black Beard's pretensions to an elevated rank in the estimation of his as- sociates, may be conceived from the cha- racter of his jokes."
Having often exhibited himself before them as a demon, he determined once to shew them a hell of their own crea- tion. For this purpose, he collected a quantity of sulphur and combustible ma- terials between the decks of his vessel, when kindling the flame and shutting down the hatches upon his crew, he involved himself with them literally in fire and brim- stone. With oaths and frantic gestures, he then acted the part of the devil, as little affected by the smoke as if he had been born in the infernal regions; till his com- panions suffocated & fainting compelled him to release them. His convivial humor was of a similar cast. In one of his excies whilst heated with liquor, and sitting in his cabin he took a pistol in each hand: then cocking them under the table, blew out the candles, and crossing his hands, fired on each side at his companions: one of them received a shot which maimed him for life. His gallantry also was of the same com- plexion as his vein of humor. He had 14 wives if they may be so called. But his conduct towards one them appears to have been too unfeeling and unmanly to admit of description."
