DEMOCRATIC HUMANITY. —The policy of admitting foreigners, at any time, to all the rights and privileges of citizens, has been questioned by the most enlightened statesmen among us. Reasons drawn from the nature of the case, and the experience and municipal laws of other nations furnish a strong ground for those to stand upon, who advocate a permanent exclusion of aliens from office. Our own history also supplies us with arguments on this head, which if party considerations were excluded, could not be disregarded. The reasons drawn from the nature of the case have been so often repeated, that they are familiar to every body. Every independent state, constitutes a separate and distinct society, which has a right to establish such laws as it shall deem best adapted to promote and secure its own interests. When this society is once formed, it has a right to prescribe the terms upon which others shall be admitted into it; and if it should think proper not to admit them, upon any terms to a full enjoyment of the privileges of its own members, those who may be thus excluded have no possible right to complain. It is readily granted that nations are not exempt from the obligations of humanity, any more than individuals; but the duties thence arising must in both cases be so modified as not to interfere with the prior and more important duties which they owe to themselves. Nations, no less than individuals are bound by reason, and the positive laws of God, to seek their own preservation, in preference to that of any other nation, or of any individual. The rites of hospitality are unquestionably due to all; these are protection in certain cases and a supply of what is necessary for the support of life; more than these, no nation is bound to bestow, nor any individual has a right to demand.
As to the policy of admitting foreigners to all the privileges of citizens, there is scarcely a supposable case in which there are not well founded objections against it, when considered as a general indulgence. Every nation which has existed for any length of time, has its own manners, its particular, habits of thinking, its prejudices and its partialities. These constitute its national character; and its national character; and its government will always be conformed to them, either in its first establishment, or by subsequent alterations. The subjects of an absolute monarchy, whether they approve of that kind of government or not, are generally speaking not likely to be contented under a government like ours. If they approve of it they must of course be dissatisfied under ours; and if they were induced to emigrate by oppressions which they suffered in their own country, they will nineteen times out of twenty have embued notions which border upon licentiousness. Of this, our own experience has furnished us with proofs which we cannot overlook, and with lessons by which we ought to profit. To vibrate from one extreme to its opposite, is a settled law more regular perhaps with mechanical powers, but not more certain, than with the operations of the human mind.
To guard against the danger to be apprehended from foreigners if they were allowed to gain a permanent residence in the country, the laws of England not only exclude them from all offices, even the lowest, but they prohibit them from acquiring property in lands, either by purchase, gift, or inheritance. This is extending the prohibition further than the interests of this country at present require. But if there is any solid objection against the admission of foreigners to office in England, there is nothing in the construction of our government which removes the objection or diminishes its force.
We are aware that examples drawn from English history, have since our revolution been allowed but little weight on account of the prejudices which were excited by the conduct of the British during the war, and which still exist though in a less degree.
These examples however are entitled to our consideration. Mr. Gallatin who certainly will not be suspected of partiality to the English government says, in his speech on the foreign intercourse bill, "It is from England that we have borrowed our political institutions. Taught by her example we have improved them, and adapted them to our own situation, but her history is still that which is most applicable to ourselves; for, notwithstanding the happy modifications which we have introduced, the great outlines of representation and distribution of powers are the same; and notwithstanding the strong distinguishing features, there has never existed a government more
similar, upon the whole to our own, than that of that country." Our democrats we hope will kneel with proper respect to such an authority. But if they should be so pertinacious as still to object to examples drawn from that source they may find abundance of them in republican governments. It was the policy of the Roman government, when it resembled ours, certainly in name, (a resemblance highly necessary to the applicability of historical facts,) to exclude all foreigners from office—The inhabitants of Rome for the protection which they granted to the priests and vestal virgins, during the first invasion of the Gauls, were allowed the freedom of the city, but were denied the right of suffrage.
Rome, at that time was in want of inhabitants. Her whole population did not exceed one hundred and fifty thousand—a small number indeed for a nation involved in a continual war. Besides several laws were passed about the same time, in favor of the poor, for the express purpose of enabling them to educate their children, and thus supply the republic with soldiers. But the senate of Rome were sensible of the partiality of foreigners, for the laws and habits of their own country; and they knew that they could rely with much more safety upon the attachment of native citizens. The Romans so celebrated for their generosity, will without doubt be accused of refusing "an asylum to oppressed humanity;" they were so ignorant of philosophy, as to believe that their first duty obliged them to consult their own interests.
Yet in spite of all these arguments those who object to the indiscriminate admission of foreigners to all the rights and privileges of citizens of the United States, are charged with a want of humanity. The democrats who bring the charge undoubtedly have their motives. We hear not a word from them in favor of admitting English, Scotch, German or Swiss emigrants to the enjoyment of our privileges. No; Ireland is the only country, whose inhabitants are entitled to our tender regards; the only objects of democratic humanity—and the Irish who have settled amongst us, are well known to be democrats, almost to a man. Every Irish emigrant is therefore an addition of one to the democratic party. Happy country! which contains within its bosom a party so sincerely devoted to the interests of humanity.

Latest Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, April 3.
It was reported yesterday, that the French government had ordered 1000 troops to enter Portugal immediately.
L'Abbe Alaric is said to be among the persons lately arrested at Paris, charged with being concerned in the new pretended conspiracy.
April 4.
By private letters, with the perusal of which we have been favored, we learn that M. Batz, Deputy for the States of Wirttemberg, at Vienna, was arrested there upon the requisition of the Elector of Wirttemberg, being accused of a conspiracy, of which it was the object to assassinate the elector, and his principal Minister of State, Mr. Krapf, Deputy from the States of Wirttemberg, is still at Vienna. Both of these gentlemen are unfriendly to the Elector, who lately demanded that they should be sent away from Vienna; a request which was refused at the time.
Sir George Rumbold is at Berlin. On the 13th of March, a French soldier was shot at Hanover, convicted (as it is stated in the sentence of the military commission) of Espionage, of crimping, and of corresponding with Mr. Pitt.
It will be remarkable, should the reported interview absolutely take place in Italy between Francis and Napoleon, that the only making two persons, it will be an interview of three Emperors and three or four Kings: for it will consist of an imperial and royal congress of the Emperors of Germany, Austria, & France, the King of Hungary, Bohemia, Italy, &c. &c.
At the Whig Club, on Tuesday, Mr. Fox alluded to the disclosures in the Tenth Report of the Naval Commissioners, which have excited such a spirit in the country. He observed that, as a member of Parliament, it would not become him to pronounce any decisive opinion as to the Noble Lord who was unhappily implicated; but as to the practices imputed to him, he trusted that the vote of the House of Commons would strongly reprobate and censure them. He did not think it proper to say more. As to the Catholic Petition, he thought it a very great honor to have been selected as one of the persons to present it to Parliament. Major Cartwright took occasion to inform the meeting that measures had been taken to assemble the freeholders of Middlesex, in order to address the Crown for the dismissal of Lord Melville from his majesty's Councils and presence for ever, and that he understood a similar meeting would shortly take place, for the same object, in the county of Surrey.
LISBON, 25 Pluviose.
The minister from England at Lisbon, has had the extreme impertinence to present a note complaining that our public journal has published the declaration of the Prince of Peace relative to the war; the minister of foreign affairs has replied to him in the following note:
Sir, I have received your note of the 25th of January, having relation to an article in the supplement of the Gazette of Lisbon, containing a faithful translation of an article extracted from the Gazette of Madrid of the 20th of December. I confess, sir, that after having had the honor to express verbally the reasons authorising that insertion, I had hoped you would have been fully convinced that there existed no solid ground for exacting its suppression. I am confident that the said article has been transcribed into all the Gazettes of Europe, and I am persuaded that none of the ministers of England will have demanded from the governments near which they reside, a similar exclusion of that official paper. If acts of such a description should be omitted in political Gazettes, what would they be permitted to republish?
I must also inform you, sir, to terminate the doubts you express on the subject, that the insertion of the said official paper in the Portuguese Gazette has been made with the knowledge of the government because it does not think itself compelled in the transcription of any official acts published in the other Gazettes of Europe and under the head of foreign countries. Such articles, faithfully copied and unaccompanied with remarks, are never a proof either of approbation or disapprobation on the part of the government permitting the republication.
I confess, sir, that I cannot perceive how any person can find in this the least cause of offence. The same article, a little later, might have been copied from the English Gazettes, in which, without doubt, they have been published. Besides, you know, sir, that at the close of discussion on a similar subject, which have been

I purchased him from Mr. Charles Bennett, senior, of Loudoun county, and it is probable he may change his name—He has lived in Alexandria, is well acquainted about the town, and I do not doubt but he will be harbored by some of his acquaintances.

PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermitting fevers and agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c.

Dr. Lee's (Windham) Billious Pills.
THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, be speak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Billious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Billious Cholics, Colicwens, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun.
