THIRD PARTIES. From the north and the south, the east and the west, the middle and the extremes, through the "wide spread" arena of whole states, the dell of the forest, and the little lurking holes of counties and villages, the spirit of democratic dissention is every where manifested in loud yells or sullen growling, in the violence of declared "opposition" or the snarl of secret discontent. Of this spectacle the most distinguished theatres at present seem to be the great "sister states" of New-York and Pennsylvania, where all is the rage and uproar of strife and division between quondam friends disputing about the spoils of their associated wickedness, and invoking to their unhallowed work the aid of the virtuous and wise whom they have robbed and maligned, now to ascertain between them the degrees of their guilt and the respective rewards of their iniquity. But ought the rational traveller, a captive in the hands of banditti, rise up to assist any fellows of the horde against their brethren, or make common cause with any part amidst their conflicting crimes, when nothing of relief to himself or benefit to society is promised or can sensibly be expected, let whatever may be the event.
In New-York, Dewitt Clinton and his partisans through the engines of Cheetam's "Watch-Tower," are thundering war into the ears of governor Lewis and the general assembly, denouncing the one as an apostate, and a majority of the other as venal traitors to their party, and profligate creatures of bribery, ready to sell and to barter their trust, their consciences and their oaths to the highest jobber in the market. This description of one set of democrats by another set of democrats may be true, and it is natural; and it may serve to confirm federal opinion and verify federal prediction. But further than this what is it to the federalists whether "genuine republicans," "real republicans," "little band," or any other livery shall attract "the deluded multitude," so long as the multitude remain deluded? What matters it to the federalists, who have sense and honor, under what name fools and knaves may choose to disguise themselves, or under what change of form or term of reproach they may continue to prevail or become "lords of the ascendant," so long as their nature continues unaltered and unalterable? Surely in New-York at least we may rely that fatal experience has cured all true patriots of that chimera of vain imagination, and will forever more deter them from following again that baleful meteor of third-party union, whose last departing gleam was reflected from the fell weapon of the murderer, when glowing with the malice of disappointed pursuit he turned and "struck" to the heart the hope and the pride of our land—"the foreman of all this world."
In Pennsylvania, of what consequence is it to good and reflecting men, whether their tyrants call themselves "Friends to the people" or "Constitutional Republicans." If the federalists deem it worth while to exert themselves to prevent the paper of their constitution from being rent asunder by wild Irish fury goading on German blindness, if they think to retard a convolution, which perhaps in the course of things must yet break forth to astonish the people into their senses, let them do it without descending to be the instruments in the hands of either side, when of both sides they see themselves almost equally the common mark of outrage and detraction. Even the virulence of Duane's Aurora, has never much exceeded that of McKean's triumphal address to the rabble of the Northern Liberties. Even Simon Snyder acting under Duane and Leib, could find few federalists to persecute, over whom, McKean, and Dallas, and Tench Coxe have not already exercised that power. Let who will be governor, federalists will still be subjects, subjects too forever considered in a state of rebellion or conspiracy. For it is observable that at this very time, when the ruling powers in Pennsylvania are inviting in fact the assistance of the federalists to quell the "malcontents," they are in their public addresses still almost as abusive of federal men and measures, and in their outward show affect nearly as much repugnance, as the "malcontents" "Clodhoppers," or "Clodpoles" on the other side. It is not a liberal league, a combination of principle and talents to "save a sinking land," which these folks wish; but it is a temporary and crouching service into which they would frighten our friends for the purpose of preserving power ill-gotten and evilly used.
"Laud rather be a dog and bay the moon Than face a Roman."
Time will not admit us to express ourselves fully on this subject: It is a subject highly fertile and interesting, but the press is waiting for manuscript. The leading idea with which we are impressed, and which we would mean to impress is, that we are all too much inclined to deceive ourselves or be duped by our enemies:—that too much is expected by federalists from the quarrels and ruptures between the democrats; that although these differences are every day taking place according to prophecy, we are yet to see any permanent good or safety resulting from them; and that with fallacious and short-sighted views on this head the integrity of the country is in danger of contamination, or with loss of all "outward visible body" of "sinking into naught" by abandoning its proper dignified course of armed neutrality.
From the Boston PALLADIUM.
REPORT AND RESOLVE
On the Message of His Excellency the Governor, relative to an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, proposed by the Legislature of Kentucky, and adopted by the Legislature of Pennsylvania.
The committee to whom was committed that part of his excellency the Governor's Speech, which relates to the communication from the governor of Pennsylvania, have attended that service. The letter from his excellency governor McKean, inclosed copies of a distinct resolution of the senate and house of representatives of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, approving an amendment to the constitution of the United States, which had been proposed by the state of Kentucky, and requesting the concurrence and co-operation of the legislature of this commonwealth in procuring the said amendment. The object of the amendment is to exclude from the judiciary power of the courts of the United States controversies between citizens of the same state, claiming lands under grants from different states, controversies between citizens of different states; and controversies between citizens of a state and citizens or subjects of a foreign state.
From the best investigation of the subject the committee have been able to make, it appears to them, that in constructing the federal constitution provisions were necessary—
To preserve harmony and confidence among the several states and their citizens respectively:
To prevent all just causes of complaint by the subjects of foreign powers, not only against the United States, but also against the government of any of the states:
To effect these important objects it was expedient—
To establish a federal judicial power: To vest in the United States the exclusive authority to negotiate with foreign nations, and
To prohibit any compact or agreement between any of the states, unless made with the approbation of congress.
If controversies between citizens of the same state, on claims to land granted by different states, were to be settled by the courts of the state where the lands are, there would be little confidence in the decision if against the validity of the grant of the state, without whose jurisdiction the lands lie; and the state whose grants would be defeated, might be obliged to make compensation to the grantees, or suffer the imputation of dishonesty and injustice.
The aggrieved state would have no peaceable mode of procuring redress. It would have within itself no power to make any compact or agreement for obtaining satisfaction. The United States would have no constitutional authority to grant relief. And recalcitrance or resistance by force and violence would be the only remedy.
Similar observations occur to the committee, when a citizen of one state may be injured by a citizen of another state.—Without a federal judicial authority, the party injured must seek his remedy in the courts of the state of which the offender is a citizen. If no relief be obtained, and by partiality or folly insult be added to injury, he will not have the consolation of complaining either to his own state or to the United States, for neither have a constitutional right to interpose; and private revenge will be his only resource.
By preserving the constitution unmutated, an enlightened and impartial tribunal, having the confidence of all parties, will ultimately decide. Mutual harmony and confidence will continue; and the
peace of the states and of their citizens will be secured by the wand of the Marshal.
If the subjects of one sovereign suffer injustice and oppression in the court of another, the injured party may complain to his own sovereign who may demand satisfaction of the sovereign whose courts have committed the injury. If the complaint be well founded and satisfaction be refused, by the laws of nations; letters of reprisal might justly be issued against the effects of all the subjects of the sovereign who should unreasonably refuse redress. By the federal constitution if the court of any state should injure or oppress a foreigner, satisfaction could only be demanded of the executive authority of the United States, who cannot compel the offending state to repair the injury, but compensation must be made out of the national treasury, or the property of all the citizens may be exposed to reprisals, and the public peace put in jeopardy. It is consequently of great importance to the United States that their constitution should provide a judicature of which foreigners may seek redress for injuries committed by citizens, a fair and impartial trial will be obtained, under the authority of the government, which must be responsible for all injuries done to foreigners within this jurisdiction; and the public safety and prosperity will not be endangered by the real or supposed injustice and oppression of a state court over which the United States have no controul, either by directing the principles of decision, or by correcting any errors of judgment.
The committee, therefore, believe that the powers of the federal judicial court, which it is intended to extinguish by the ratification of the proposed amended, ought to be retained by those courts: That these powers are essential parts of the federal constitution, and are necessary for preserving harmony and mutual confidence among the several states and for maintaining the peace, the honor, and the justice of the United States.
Strongly impressed with these sentiments the committee ask leave to report the resolution which is annexed.
JOHN HEARD, per order.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Whereas an amendment to the constitution of the United States to confine the judiciary power of the courts of the United States to cases of law and equity arising under the constitution and laws of the United States, and to treaties made or which shall be made under that authority. Cases effecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls; cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction; to controversies to which the United States shall be a party; and to controversies between two or more states; has been proposed by the legislature of the state of Kentucky, and approved by the legislature of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the concurrence and co-operation of the legislature of this commonwealth has been requested in procuring the said amendment. It is, after a due and respectful consideration of the same.
Resolved, That it is inexpedient to agree to the said amendment.
And that his excellency the governor is requested to transmit copies of this resolution, and copies of the foregoing report of the committee, to the governors of Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

NEW-YORK, July 15.
The brig Ann-Maria, arrived yesterday from St. Domingo, brings no news relative to the blacks, who appear to be tranquil. We have received a printed paper in French, containing a new constitution formed by the Emperor of Hayti.
Captain Buskirk, from St. Croix, informs, that the brig Volunteer, from New-York for Cape Francois, upset in a squall. The captain, mate, and all hands were saved and carried into St. Croix by Captain Little, of Portland. Vessel and cargo lost.
BALTIMORE, July 15.
By an arrival at Charleston, from Nassau, the editors of the American have received from their correspondent, the Royal Gazette of the 25th June, from which the following articles are extracted:
Decree of the Court of Vice Admiralty. Of these Islands, in the case of the American brig JUNO, captain Packard, from the Havanna and Matanzas, to Providence, (R. I.) and sent in by the private armed vessel Mayflower, capt. George Johnson.
This was the case of an American vessel, taken on a voyage from the Port of Matanzas, in the Island of Cuba, to Rhode Island, in America, with a cargo of Molasses and Sugars.
It appeared that the vessel had first gone to the Havanna, where she had taken on board a part of her cargo, and from thence proceeded to the Matanzas, where she shipped the remainder, with which she was proceeding to America, when she was captured and sent in for adjudication.
On the part of the captors it was contended, that by going from the Havanna to the Matanzas, which port neutrals never were allowed to enter for the purposes of trade, in time of peace, the vessel must be considered as engaged in a new and unusual trade, only allowed there now by Spain, in consequence of the pressure of hostilities, which entirely precluded the possibility of carrying on that trade in her own vessels, and that the property was therefore liable to confiscation.
On the other hand, it was alledged, on behalf of the claimant, that the voyage was perfectly fair, and such as a belligerent had no right to interrupt. That the documents were all formal and regular and that the vessel and cargo ought to be restored.
His honor the judge by his decree, ordered further proof to be adduced, to prove that neutrals during peace had been permitted to enjoy the trade in which this vessel was engaged, (preserving the right of ultimately deciding upon the question; how far such a trade is allowable during hostilities) and left it open to both parties to enter into such proof.
Extract of a letter from Grand Turk, (Bahamas) dated June 1.
"About four weeks ago 2 stout French privateers, a brig and schooner, arrived in our channel, under American colours, and at first much alarmed the inhabitants. They captured one of our boats coming from the Caicos, and after endeavouring in vain, to persuade one of the negroes belonging to her, to become their pilot, they purchased and paid for a turtle at a very liberal price, and released their boat. On the next day they anchored at the point of a reef between Salt Key and this Island, and we having heard that they had captured some time since the Armada sloop Polly, Joel, master; a boat was sent on board, which returned with captin Joel and his mate. The commander of these vessels professed their intention to avoid disturbing the inhabitants of this place, declaring they were in search of Americans trading with the blacks of St. Domingo. On parting, they fired a salute, which we returned and they proceeded to cize in the Caicos passage, having fully kept their promise. Such liberality deserves to be known, for the credit of our enemy."
On the appearance of the privateers, government started the idea of declaring martial law, but it was not on a division in the Cabinet."

TUESDAY, JULY 16.
We hear from Newport, that on Saturday last there arrived at that place a French privateer schooner. Soon after her arrival she was boarded by a custom-house officer. The answers given to the interrogatories of the officer being unsatisfactory, her papers were demanded. From which it appeared she had no regular commission, but only authority for cruising from the French coast to New-York. She was immediately ordered to sea and soon afterwards sailed. Many persons were of opinion that she ought to have been detained. [Palladium.]
A letter was received in town on Thursday from Cadiz, dated the 4th of May, mentioning that flour was only 13 dollars, and very dull at that price. There were then in the Bay 15,000 barrels. Grain and flour poured in from all quarters, as soon as the British blockading squadron left that place. [N. T. pap.]
STORM AT TONNINGEN.
A Leyden paper of the 10th of May, contains the following article: Letters from Tonningen of the 9th instant, mention that on that day there was a violent storm at that place. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon it began to blow very hard from W. S. W. At half past 6, the flood came, and at 8 o'clock several vessels laying at anchor in the outer harbor were driven by the wind and tide one against the other with such force, that they were all entangled. In this situation they drove by the harbor, and in their course carried off others with them. By which means many vessels were heavily damaged, and others sunk. At day-break, so large and small vessels were discovered near Woltersum, partly on the strand, and partly afloat, but entangled together. The greater part very much damaged, some with their masts, bowsprits, and rudders carried away; having been obliged to cut their cables and lose their anchors.
The number of vessels sunk has not yet been ascertained, but is believed to be from 10 to 12. Most of the above vessels which received damage belonged to England, Danes, &c. No Americans are specified. Several other vessels got on the strand, near Wolterwick, but was reported to have got off. Amongst which is Captain Gilles, of Charleston. Two vessels were on the strand at Villengenplat; and on the coast of Copenhagen several vessels were stranded, but their names have not been mentioned.
A writer of whom Mr. Jefferson once expressed a very high opinion says, somewhere, that of all evidence, the public voice is the poorest, or words to that amount. Callender, in this instance, advanced a truth which the history of mankind perfectly justifies. The representatives of thirty millions of people voted that there was no God. Are there many worshipper's of the people's voice in this country, who will say, that vote was sufficient—that it was correct because popular? We presume not. Yet it was the voice of France, which ought to outweigh five Americas, on the foolish scale which some prescribe to us. Are Americans ready to agree that there is no God?—No. Then the minority of this country beg leave, on other occasions, not to pin their faith implicitly on the voice of the people, when they have positive proof that it is incorrect: and the time will come when their superior wisdom will be acknowledged. [Repertory.]
From the REPERTORY. It is often a matter of surprise that the Jacobins have reached the sovereign power of the U. States, and that good men were so slow in awaking to a sense of their danger. We confess this strange. Nature will prevail at last, and as the best of men have some evil passions in them unbridled, and as the multitude of mankind are little guided in their political conduct and opinions, by either good sense or good morals; the decline of the best constitution in the world, if democratic, from the height of excellence to the extreme of licentiousness and tyranny, is an affair of as little uncertainty as delay. The course downhill, or more exactly like that of a man who dreams of flying and steps out of a garret window in his sleep. We are down on the hard pavement, and till men become winged animals, are not to expect to rise again to the place where Washington once stood, and from whence we fell. In matters of opinion, vanity or prejudice will decide what the multitude are to think, and, after that, demagogues will judge for them what they are to do—and they will do it, be it ever so wicked, ever so absurd, ever so destructive of their liberties. The sense of a multitude acted upon by favorites is either nothing at all, or it is after-thought, and useless for every purpose, but repentance, never of the least warning or precaution.
Now when good men see that things rush as it were of themselves to ruin, when they see a league of all the fools, and all the knaves to halten this propensity, is it strange that they feel their force overpowered and fall into despair. Is it strange that they expect to very foolish errors as they see admitted into the creed of the deluded many, will be transient and subdued by time, if not by reason? Is it strange if they mistake most grossly of all when they compute the malignity and mischief of the schemes of the Jacobins? Hope is a great comforter, we are told, and let us add, a great deceiver too. People will not volunteer it to believe that the reign of Jacobinism will extinguish the life and the hope too of the public liberty. Their reading, their found reflection, their observation of French examples might teach them that liberty can die but once; but demagogic tyranny can die in Danton and revive in Robespierre with more deadly malignity than ever. It seems as if the old doctrine of transmigration could be applied with truth to popular despotism. The body of the tyranny is vulnerable and not very long lived, but the sword of justice or the dagger of an assassin only dislodges the wicked spirit from a convention to a directory, from an oligarchy to a monarchy. By efforts, by the success of supposed remedies, the progress of the evil is hastened from bad to worse, from a mitigated to an uncontrollable despotism. After mob tyranny, there will be every other sort of tyranny, but never a return to liberty.
Let good men, then, awaken from the sleep of opium, from dangerous visions, such as the tempter whispered at the ear of Eve, before he destroyed mans' first happy state. Let them awake and learn that if political safety is yet to be had, it must be secured by their efforts. Their pleasing hopes are plausible cheats and their darling indolence is a traitor. Let every federal man single out his man among the honest but deceived of the democrats, and endeavor by putting printed truth before his eyes, that every one shall if possible save one beside himself. The twentieth part of what it is possible for the federalists to do would if accomplished delay if not prevent our ruin.
ON THE DREAD OF THUNDER. From an Eastern Paper.
Beasts discover a consciousness of danger at the approach of a thunder tempest: they leave their food; and their looks and postures betray symptoms of fear and amazement. But birds, sheltered from the fatal bolts by their feathers, are fearless. While the thunder roars and the dark and heavy cloud is moving on towards them, they are often seen in a playful frolicsome mood. Both are guided by an unerring instinct. Beasts are sometimes struck dead by lightning: they are in real danger; and have, therefore, cause to fear. But lightning, which has power to rive the strongest oaks and even the hardest rocks, seldom, if ever, passes between the feathers, and pierces the bodies of birds. The latter, as if conscious of their safety, and, at the same time, exhilarated by the change of air, that begins to be purified and sweetened by explosions from the gathering clouds, discover marks of glee; and they have indeed real cause for their expressive marks of joy.
Man, exalted by reason, and still more by religion, should in this, as in all other respects, act a higher part than the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air. A thunder tempest presents one of the sublimest scenes in nature; and its sublimity is blended with a degree of awfulness proportionate to which thoughtless, and much more frolicsome levity, during such a scene, though becoming birds, would be highly unbecoming men and women. On the other hand, they should not discover the stupid amazement, nor the frantic fright of beasts.
Thunder and lightning are necessary agents in the grand operations of nature; they are "ministers of good" to mankind and the general tendency is to save life rather than to destroy it. By killing noxious vapors and clarifying and sweetening the air, they render it wholesome and prevent the spread of pestilence and other mortal diseases. For one person, destroyed by lightning, thousands and hundreds of thousands, would be destroyed by poisons and mortal contagions in the atmosphere, if this powerful instrument to cleanse it were never used.
The fear arising from thunder-storms should therefore be in a manner, lost in gratitude for the general good, which they occasion; and parents instead of setting before their children, on such occasions, an example of consternation and wild affright, which would tend to render them miserable through life, should endeavor to fortify their minds by arguments drawn from reason, philosophy and religion.
* It is the practice of some people always to rise from their bed, when thunder tempests happen during the night season; whereas a bed, filled with feathers, is the safest situation that can be found.
PARISIANS FASHIONS.
Diamonds and pearls are in great request: they have again risen to the price which they fetched before the revolution. A love of simplicity has now usurped at Paris, the place of that universal fondness for magnificence and ostentatious expence which lately prevailed in that metropolis. This taste for simplicity however is not likely to gain admittance into the French court. Napoleon rather strives to promote luxury, and considers the love of ostentation as the means of encouraging the manufactures of France. This opinion was pointedly expressed by his conduct towards a lady who was presented to the empress. She appeared in a velvet dress without embroidery. The emperor remarked it, and directed Segur, the master of the ceremonies, to tell her that her dress was not sufficiently rich. This commission was not the most agreeable to Segur; but as he conceived a hint from him would cause less embarrassment to the lady than a reproof from the emperor, he stepped up to her, and paid her a compliment on the elegant simplicity of her dress—She replied it was true she was simply dressed, but she hoped likewise, decently. "Certainly," rejoined Segur, "decently, but not suitably" ( decentment, mais pas convenablement. )
From the Charleston Courier.
For the morning of the 4th of July.
Hic dies vere--festus atrax Eximet curas-----
HARK! the cannon's distant Thunder, Now no more with terror fraught, As o'er the tranquil scene it echoes, Wakes the mind to grateful thought,
View its curling smoke ascending, Fearful glooms no more to spread, Orient splendorous widely beaming, Varied hues around it shed.
Hear the gladsome peal resounding, Wasted by the morning gale, Thousand hearts with joy vibrating, Join the festive sound to hail,
In the purple East rejoicing, Proudly walks the king of day, As erst he cheer'd the dawn of freedom, With a bright auspicious ray.
Let sleep no more with empty visions Cheat the time that pleasure claims, Fancy boasts no higher rapture, Thought no purer transport frames.
Awake and let each warm emotion That the festive scene inspires, Sway the heart with boundless power, Rousing deep its latent fires.
And when in slow procession moving, Crowds attend yon hallow'd fane, Let the loudly pealing organ 'Wake devotion's sober reign.
To HIM, who when the storm of battle Burst with fury o'er our land, To shield Columbia's favor'd people, O'er them stretch'd his saving hand.
And who from war's terrific chaos Bade a mighty nation rise; To HIM be sung harmonious psalms, While echo wafts them to the skies.
This day we hail the seventeenth lustre, Since the noble fabric rose, In whose strength Columbia prospers, In whose shade she finds repose.
From transatlantic regions driven, Terrif'd by war's alarms, Peace array'd in snowy mantle, Here displays her sacred charms.
That throbs, affectionate with care for thee; Compose her anxious breast with playful art, Press her soft lips, and prattle at her knee.
Boy, love thy mother! Let the lisping tongue, In broken accents, charm her wand'ring ear, And, when again upon her bosom hung, Say, Oh, Mamma! I love, I love you dear.
Boy, love thy mother! the reflected rays Will beam new lustre o'er thy father's days.

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 1, 1805. Polygraphick Painting. THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively possessed by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a Citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe; who proposes to exceed by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Shakespeare Gallery, New York, by permission of the Proprietor: being
A PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON, Supported by LIBERTY, VIRTUE, and JUSTICE. VIRTUE is holding the emblem of the reward merited. In the right of the piece, AMERICA, characterized as an Ab-original, is seated in a pensive posture, lamenting her loss. In the left is PAIN-FIND coming to HISTORY, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer, "There is none more worthy than Washington!"
The whole forming a more emblematical tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the public. To those who esteem his public services and his private worth, and to the patrons of improvements in the arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already furnished with different engravings on this subject, it is hoped, will find room for the present undertaking when they consider, that it will be a PAINTING , and the design new, executed by a process, which renders it more durable than oil paintings—that it requires no glazing—that while their prints contain, perhaps a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of six beautiful allegorical figures.—The price also is reduced, so as to leave, comparative merits, no object. Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on delivery, (which is little more than the price of an engraving of the same size) are received by Conrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia; Robert Gray, Alexandria; Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol-hill City of Washington; and generally by Booksellers throughout the Union; who will please to return their Subscription papers to Conrad and Co. Philadelphia, previous to the first of November next, when the work will be ready for delivery. Frames will be procured, of any pattern, if required on the most moderate terms.
IT IS ALSO PROPOSED TO EXECUTE PORTRAITS Of Mr. and Mrs. Washington, On a smaller scale, 15 inches by 12; executed by the same process, and will be ready for delivery at the same time, on subscriptions of four Dollars and Fifty Cents each, including a gilt frame. It is a principal aim of the work, to produce the most correct likenesses of this amiable couple. One of the Paintings is now to be seen at Mr. Galt's Hotel, for a few days, who will receive subscriptions. As this copy is ordered to be sent to Richmond soon, another will be forwarded, if subscribers offer. Robert Gray's, King Street Alexandria, with whom subscribers may also enter their names. The Artist presumes that the secret art of Polygraphick Painting is known only to himself in the United States; having travelled from the Carolinas to Massachusetts without finding a master of it. By this art, original paintings may be multiplied, so as to render it difficult to point out the difference. The Polygraphick picture, of the two, when compared together, is the most brilliant, and the nature of the process cannot fail rendering it more durable. In fine the whole is so exact and beautiful a copy, that the mind is lost in conjecture as to the method in which it is executed. July 3.
