From the (Boston) Repository.
We have it from Mr. Jefferson that "the republican system is in the full tide of successful experiment." With what sincerity or consistency this was said by him in March, 1801, when he meditated the great changes of the officers and principles, and even frame of the government itself which has since taken place, may be a matter of party dispute but is no longer any kind of doubt with sensible men. How successful a system can be when the worst men rise, and rise not only by the worst arts, but by the very nature of the system itself, which leaves every avenue open for the practice of those arts, is a question peculiarly fitted to the logic and ingenuity of the philosophers, who in every affair of political business lay matter of fact out of the case. Principles, they will persevere in saying, are eternal: the republican system is ever the best, and most emphatically the best when it fosters the ambition of demagogues and knaves to use it and abuse it for their own exclusive advantage. They will certainly maintain their theory till the army or the mob administers or interprets the constitution, instead of the judges, and until Mr. Jefferson is successively chief of the directory, first consul and emperor.
But from the sickening and terrifying contemplation of the means by which these bad men rose to power, let us turn to the figure they make in the possession of it. Have we any hope of national glory to console us for the shame of submitting to the despotism of the meanest and worst of men. While we have rulers whom we cannot possibly obey without disgust and contempt, it would be some comfort, and some advantage too, if they were men whom foreign nations would not hear without respect, nor offend without dread.
But alas! the mob courting arts of our demagogues are not lower than their spirit. They reserve their courage for their party foes, and all their meekness for French and Spanish aggressors. The cut-throat decree of general Ferrand, denouncing death to all lawful traders with the blacks of St. Domingo, obtains infinitely more regard from our rulers than the proposed amendment of Massachusetts, shewing conclusively how the rights of the state are subject to the controul of Virginia, founded on the votes given for just such a set of blacks. The Haytians will shew fifty times the spirit on the occasion, that the court at Washington will feel, or dare to shew if they felt. Holland, or the Cisalpine republic, would as soon offend Bonaparte, as our emperor hazard any measure that would call on our power to vindicate our national rights. Sooner than hazard popularity he will sacrifice commerce. When has it happened before in the world, that the least warlike or the feeblest nation has thus sunk into servitude without a blow. We know now what the famous bill for prohibiting all intercourse with St. Domingo, was introduced for. Our government was first to forbid on pain of forfeiture, to abate the shock, when the French should forbid on pain of death. Is there any condition of disgrace below ours? The Dutch are forced to be slaves; they can say it is owing to these bonds; but we are abject in spirit and sink into dependence, because we would not bear the constraint of keeping ourselves screwed up to the dignity of a nation. We have bought Louisiana when Spain, the beaten, humbled Spain, occluded the port of New-Orleans. We thought of no other sort of redress than such as southern revenue would buy.
When France robbed our trade, Monroe the minister of Washington, officially assured the Directory, that the people of America would rejoice if our spoils went to aid the French republic. Mr. Jefferson's own election was publicly urged as proper, because it would be agreeable to France. No wonder such men have contrived to sink the nation down to their own level. No wonder Mr. Jefferson bears the wrongs suffered by commerce when he considers all active commerce as tending to make "great sores" of our trading cities. No wonder he is tame, when it is known that he says all war is wrong, and even when asked what he would do if the country was invaded, he replied, some other expedient might be found out. No wonder we say again, when the wounds that threaten gangrene in New England produce neither pain nor pity in Virginia. The Romans bought peace of the Gauls, and afterwards of the Goths, with their own money. That we have done. But we go further now, and are willing that the minions of Bonaparte shall take their own measure of satisfaction out of our skins.
It is false and impudent to say in reply, that Washington was equally, object to Great Britain. He first negotiated, but he negotiated with arms in his hands. New revenue, new regiments and militia, and ships were provided, in spite of the opposition of these very rulers who then said, no arms but confiscation. Our principles are our weapons, and sympathetic Newgate, and Botany bay were ready to respond, Amen. But Washington meant war if negotiation failed, and so said every leading federalist. Be it remembered too, Washington recalled and disgraced the slave Monroe.
Nor let it be forgotten that this man, whom the people of Sierra Leone would disdain to send ambassador to the King of Whidah in Africa, is selected by Mr. Jefferson to assert our rights in Europe with the very same sort of spirit that he himself maintains them. Perhaps too they will say Mr. Adams would have knelt to Bonaparte in like manner. It was their loud accusation against him that he breathed war, and they urged the election of Mr. Jefferson as being the man of peace. Diocletian bought the Roman Empire at auction, and he was in a hurry to enjoy his purchase. He turned with disgust from the noise of war in Illyricum or Thrace to the soothing huzzas of protorian guards and of the Roman mob.
The objects of the man who rises by mob favour, and is still obliged to court it, are all personal, all mean, all temporary, with the low rabble of demagogues he may seem to be a Prince, but in his intercourse with Princes he will inevitably sink down again to be a demagogue, and the nation will sink with him. We have experienced what it is for the French to despise us: not only so, but we are daily affronted and pillaged by their vessels. What are we to think of the government that is so far from being roused by blows to revenge that it is not roused to feeling, not even when they are inflicted by a slave's hands.
A weak nation might have some excuse for its tameness; but the second commercial nation in the world is represented by its rulers in a manner that would have restricted the bounds of the Roman republic to the banks of the Tiber, and its perennial fame to the perishable traditions of a barbarous clan. We are as vain as the Romans in their origin; as corrupt as they in their meridian; and without having felt adversity, more abject than they became in their fall.
The fault is not in our nation, unless it be in choosing men whom foreign nations despise almost as heartily as we do ourselves.

Latest Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, March 18.
We have received Paris papers to the 9th. The session of the Legislative body was put an end to on the 6th, by a speech from one of the government orators, M. de Segur. He expressed the Emperor's complete approbation of their conduct; due upon the imposing ceremony of the coronation, rendered more august, by the presence and participation of the Pope; alluded to the laws that had been passed during the session; to the excellent state of the finances; to the new conscription, and to the pacific overture of this country. Upon the conscript law he made the following remarks:—Whilst amongst our enemy every thing is in a state of fermentation and agitation, you have proved by a law upon the conscription that we do not stand in need of fresh efforts, and this new law differs only from the last, by a more just and modern distribution relative to our coast and maritime departments. Upon the pacific overture he said, "It was at the moment in which a warrior, almost always favoured by fortune, might have promised himself fresh laurels, that silencing his passions, Napoleon modestly proposed peace to our enemies. If blood must flow upon the earth and sea, his letter forever absolves us, and throws all the responsibility upon that blind government which would prolong the effusion of it." M. de Segur proceeded to state that the emperor's constant endeavours were to give repose to his country, independence to the seas, and peace to the world.
The Moniteur has not published any further details with respect to the capture of the Mediterranean convoy, and it does not appear that one of the captured ships has yet reached a French port; indeed we know that the enemy exaggerated the numbers, and our prediction, that many would be found to have made their escape has been verified.
The anger manifested by the Moniteur, at the cool reception which Bonaparte's fallacious overture of peace experienced in this country, and the fear which it expresses, least English subsidy should be accepted by any of the continental powers, afford the best possible explanation of the state, and of the views of the French government. They are worth volumes of idle reports from ill-informed travellers. They shew at once that France is completely baffled in her views of subjugating this country, and even more, that "England, single-handed," is more than a match for her; they shew the changeable and shifting politics of the usurper, that when he could not compass his end by open force, he endeavours to do it by fraud; by an offer of peace, or rather a truce, which should induce us to disarm, and leave ourselves exposed to fresh manœuvres. They confirm the wisdom of the late ministry in commencing the war before our enemy had completed his preparations, and of the present, in declining to be duped by a pretended pacific overture.
The Toulon Fleet.
Of the Toulon fleet, the Paris official paper states, that it sailed from that port the 15th January, 1805, with a large body of troops under general Lauriston, and that after being at sea four days, was overtaken by a violent storm, and obliged to return into port. The account of the capture of the British sloop of war Arrow, and the Acheron bomb, with about twenty sail of the Malta homeward-bound fleet, by two frigates which parted in the gale is confirmed. The Arrow fought L'Incorruptible, of 44 guns, an hour and a quarter, had 57 men killed and wounded; and sunk immediately after the action. Her vigorous resistance effected the escape of 10 or 12 of her convoy. All the rest taken were destroyed; and the English prisoners landed at Carthagena. It was conjectured the Toulon fleet was bound to Egypt. Lord Nelson, who was cruising off Sardinia, with 12 sail of the line, had immediate intelligence of the sailing of the Toulon fleet; and was in full pursuit, when it returned to port.
March 15.
An American ship from the Texel, which had arrived in Dover Roads yesterday afternoon, has brought the important intelligence of the sailing of the Dutch fleet from the Texel on Monday last. Previously to their sailing an embargo was laid on all merchantmen. It still continued after the fleet sailed; but the American and five other ships made their escape in the night.
March 18.
By the Fly cutter, which arrived at Yarmouth on Friday last from the Texel, which place she left on Thursday, the

Dutch fleet had its first movement, two line of battle ships belonging to it having come down into the outer roads. This circumstance, no doubt, gave rise to the report brought by an American ship which put into Dover, that the Dutch squadron had actually put to sea.
Sweden has been obliged by the remonstrances of Prussia, to decline the proffered subsidy from this country.
Portugal is stated to have purchased, with the concurrence of this country, the sufferance of France to remain neutral in the war, by a yearly subsidy of six millions of crusades.
Such was the activity of the Marine Department in Spain that twelve ships of the line were completed for sea during the last month, and an equal number are to be equipped within the present month.
The courts of Vienna, and Petersburg are decidedly hostile to the intended creation of a Monarchy in Lombardy. Austria has remonstrated in strong terms against the change, as being contrary to the stipulations of the treaty of Luneville, and we understand it is for the present deferred. Prussia has on the contrary, recommended the measure, as tending to establish the tranquility of that country, and as barring any views or claims which Austria may entertain in regard to it.
The French papers in an article which we published on Tuesday, stated, that the French government would not undertake partial operations, but would strike several blows at us at once.
What will the enemy of the financial system of this country say when we state, that by the beneficial operation of the Sinking Fund, no less a sum than 1,698,920. 13s. 4d. is at present applied, per quarter, to the reduction of the national debt, and that the sum already redeemed amounts to 113,523,330. sterling.

TUESDAY, MAY 7.
Extract of a letter from Gonaives, dated April 12.
"By the last accounts from the city of St. Domingo, we are credibly informed that 9 sail of the line have arrived at that place, with French troops, destined against this country. The Indigene army, after making a dreadful attempt on that city, have been repulsed, and beat off with the loss of one eighth of their men, and are now all retreating home to their several divisions. The Emperor has arrived at Port au Prince, on his way to this place, from the city of St. Domingo."
Extract of a letter from Cape Francois, dated April 18.
"The Haytian army have returned without success from the siege of St. Domingo; Gen. Christophe is at present in town. They have brought with them a great quantity of plunder taken from the Spaniards."
Extract of another letter from Cape Francois, dated April 19.
"The Emperor has come into this city. His army is repulsed, owing to the arrival of the French fleet at the City of St. Domingo. The Americans, their main standby, will in consequence be more respected. They will now go to pealing coffee, and it is scarcely presumable that the French can march from St. Domingo, with 5,000 troops with success."
The brig Massasoit, capt. Freeman, arrived at Cherburg, (France) from Boston, in February, and was immediately put in quarantine for 40 days. A letter from a gentleman on board, says, that a new order from the Emperor had been issued, ordering that all the papers of vessels arriving in the ports of France, should be sent to Paris to be examined before they could enter.
French advices to the 4th of March, have been received, by the brig Lovely Lass, captain Clark, arrived at this port from Nantz. They mention, that the French government intended to demand a sum of money from the United States, as a retribution for the produce, which had been taken from their revolted colonies, by the American merchants.
It remains to be seen with what temper Mr. Jefferson's warlike Cabinet will listen to this unprecedented demand.
A Decree of the French government has passed, granting pensions, payable in Pa-
ris, to the Men, Women, and Children who were Emigrants from St. Domingo. ( Phil. Register. )
By a gentleman passenger in the brig Lovely Lass, from Nantz, we are informed of an act of the French government which renders this account by no means improbable. Bonaparte, it appears, in the midst of his higher concerns, has not been unmindful of the unfortunate exiles from St. Domingo. A decree has been issued by him, declaring that every subject, formerly residing in that colony, who may have been exiled from his home and property by the brigands, shall be allowed from the national treasury 300 livres per year, every married man 500, and for each child 100. That this provision should have been made without an eye to the ultimate recovery of the property sacrificed by the Brigands, is incredible; and surely Bonaparte will not apply for remuneration to the blacks.
The gentleman has a copy of the decree, but has not been able immediately to lay hand upon it.
The report of a decree annulling the marriage of Jerome Bonaparte, has also been deemed a fiction in this country—We however find in the Moniteur of the 1st March, the official document to this effect. It differs from that we have already published only in the concluding words, which are, "without the consent of his mother, and without the banns thereof being previously published in the place of his abode."

SECT. 3.  And be it further enacted. That the Keeper of the poor and work houses, shall be allowed a compensation for his services, to be ascertained by the Common Council at the commencement of each year.
