FEATURES OF FEDERALISM.
MR. SMITH, The prejudices of a tory in favor of royalty are incurable; his enmity to re- publicanism implacable. No sooner had the ferment of the revolution subsided, and his conduct ceased to be the object of suspicion, than he looked forward with hope to a friendly and intimate inter- course with Great Britain. In the con- nection, which his imagination had formed between us and that country, he forefaw, either the return of the United States to her dominion, or such a sub- jection to her control, that our indepen- dence would be merely nominal. Our false patriots too, who wished us inde- pendent that they only might govern, who still cherished the doctrine that the people are incapable of governing them- selves, and who believed that the British constitution was the "most stupendous monument of human wisdom," saw the necessity of such a connection to perfect and establish that scheme which they had formed for their own aggrandizement. These partialities for foreign influence and aristocratical distinctions, were evils, which the watchful eye of Great Britain, was not likely to overlook, and of which, it was probable, she would not fail to take advantage. But however desirous the tory might be to see her maternal arms again extended over this country, however anxious our false patriots might feel to make us forget the object of the revolution, America, still bleeding with the wound inflicted by her hand, would not then with complaisance admit the author of her distress to looth her an- guish. Britain therefore was obliged to wait until time had cicatrized our wounds. An opportunity to renew her affectionate attachment to this country, was soon presented. Our constitution was formed; and we began to assume that national rank to which our indepen- dence entitled us.
Though all hopes were now lost of di- rectly imposing upon the people a gov- ernment of a king, lords and commons; yet the spark of aristocracy was not ex- tinguished. A prospect was still left of effacing secretly, what could not be openly accomplished. A direct avowal of hostility to the principles of our gov- ernment, would alarm the public mind, and defeat the schemes of men, who ap- peared to believe that nature had formed them for earls, dukes and bishops. Gra- dual and systematic encroachments upon the spirit of our constitution, were the only alternatives they could adopt for the consummation of their wishes. They perceived, that instead of a political, a monied aristocracy, instead of prerogative, an extensive executive patronage, instead of baronies and earldoms, burdensome imposts and excises, would give to the ad- ministration of our government, an ener- gy anti-republican in its tendency, and subversive of constitutional principles. They knew that the high prerogatives, torn from the crown of Great Britain under the reign of the House of Stuart, were more than counterbalanced, by the growth of her national debt, the conse- quent augmentation of her taxes, and the extension of official influence. With these impressions they commenced their operations under color of retrieving and securing the public faith.
Our national credit was at this time at a low ebb. The soldier, who had fought the battles of his country, and bled to se- cure it from foreign dominion, had no- thing to show for the reward of his ser- vices, but a paper worth credit; no- thing to attest the gratitude of his coun- try, but the rags on his back, and a fam- ily at home without the means of sub- sistence; still, however, unwilling to dis- trust the faith of government, and be- lieving that when we had recovered from the shock of the revolution, his fears would be remembered, he was induced to retain the evidence of his claim to com- pensation, hoping that as our resources increased, he might some day receive the full recompense of his labours. But time, which either realizes or defeats our expectations, left him without the consolation of hope. Governed by the dictates of prudence, he rationally de- termined, that the receipt of a part, was better than the loss of the whole. He parted with his paper;—and, for what he had a right to consider worth twenty shillings, received perhaps, but the pitiful amount of two. But mark the consequence! As soon as the prin- cipal part of the paper, issued as the payment of the price of our independ- ence, had, by a scene of fraudulent speculation, almost unparalleled in the history of any nation, been drawn out of the hands of the war-worn soldier, into the possession of those who had influence
to appreciate it, this very paper, which by the speculator had been purchased at perhaps two shillings, rose to the mira- culous height of twenty, and, in some instances, to twenty seven shillings, on the pound! It is difficult to restrain a righteous indignation at proceedings so ungenerous, a conduct so fraught with vile ingratitude. A blush of conscious shame, ought to crimson the cheek of him, who would for a moment harbour the thought of becoming an accomplice to a deed so dishonorable.
These things, perhaps, may found "like the tales of other times;" but they are not the less true. It is necessary that they be often repeated. For the enemies of government seem to have forgotten their own pedigree; and with the people to believe that their origin is unmixed with injustice, all their partisans friends of our independence, and their wealth the reward of a life of virtue. CURTIUS.
Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, May 4.
Mr. Drefens arrived at half past 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, with dis- patches of great importance. A Cabinet Council was immediately held upon them, and as the arrival of the mess- enger was known in the City, a commu- nication to Parliament was confidently expected. None, however, was made. The market felt the effect of Mr. Dref- ens's arrival at Dover. It was known on the stock exchange before 3 o'clock, and the funds, which had risen in the early part of the day to 65 3-4, fell at the close of the market to 63 3-4. One large broker came into the market about half past two, and sold 200,000l. It was said that the nature of the dis- patches, brought by Mr. Drefens, was very warlike; that our ministers had determined to issue a manifesto immedi- ately; such a measure they would hard- ly adopt in the first instance. The first step which they have pledged themselves to take, is to make a communication to Parliament. It was also rumoured that Lord Whitworth had made every pre- paration for his departure, and that he was to leave Paris yesterday. Such were the reports and language of the bears. But the persons who are supposed to have information of the sentiments of the French government held out prospects of a very different nature; their lan- guage was quite pacific; they bought largely. They said that it was true Lord Whitworth had prepared to depart, but that a concession had on a sudden been made by the First Consul, and that his Lordship had determined of course to remain at Paris. They stated, that Joseph Bonaparte had been sent to our Ambassador; that after a conference between them, the former went to the Chief Consul, who sent him back to his Lordship with a declaration to the fol- lowing effect: If England would eva- cuate Malta, France would consent to the Island's being garrisoned by foreign troops, either Russian or Austrian, for a given time.
Such were the rumours in circula- tion. We state them, but do not pledge ourselves for the authenticity of any one of them. We rather suspect, that Mr. Drefens did not bring the final answer of the French government. Mr. Shaw was expected at Calais last night, or this morning; and he is the messenger, to whom it was believed, the ultimatum was to be entrusted. Mr. Shaw is ex- pected every hour: he will, in all prob- ability, arrive before the meeting of the House, and we expect, that a com- munication will be made to Parliament this afternoon.
Rumours of war prevail in France; and when Mr. Drefens left Calais, it was said that Lord Whitworth would leave Paris this week, if the desired answer were not given before Saturday next. These rumours are perhaps as little worthy of credit as those with which this country has been deluged for the last month.
French papers to the 1st, and a Dutch mail arrived last night. They have not enabled us to throw any new light upon the negotiation between this country and France.
It was stated in the sitting of the le- gislative body of the 29th ult. that the session would soon close; a proposition was therefore made, that the assembly should proceed to the appointment of a Grand Officer of the council of admin- istration of the Legion of Honor. The subject was referred to a committee.
The French funds are 53. The intelligence brought by the
Dutch mail, will be found in the next column.
Letters from Stockholm state, that there is now no longer any doubt that a good understanding will be preferred between Russia and Sweden.
The Emperor of Morocco has de- manded of the house of Austria, as the possessor of the states of Venice, the tribute which was formerly paid by that republic.
Government, it is said, have finally closed their contract with Mr. Welland for the purchase of artillery horses, to the full extent of that which they made with him in the late war.
The passports from Paris to this country are now made out for Calais direct, so that nobody can go a step out of the straight road.
Private Correspondence.
HAGUE, April 26.
Almost all the French troops in Dutch Brabant at Breda, Grave, Berg-op-Zoom, &c. are now advancing to Nimeguen, Venlo, and the neighbourhood. The principal reason of these movements is, that it was almost impossible to find forage and subsistence for so considerable an army in Dutch Brabant. It is also said, that these troops consisting of a- bout 6000 infantry, and 1200 cavalry, will be employed to occupy Hanovers in the case of war between G. Britain and France. This assertion is confirmed by persons who are acquainted with the contents of the latest dispatches from the war-office at Paris. The farther arrival of French troops in the territory of the Republic has ceased. But we know that there is now a body of 30,000 men on our frontier ready to enter the Re- public at the first signal.
General Victor sent yesterday a con- siderable number of officers of artillery and engineers to the Isle of Goree, to take charge of the fortifications and bat- teries in that Isle. The consent of the Batavian government to this measure has not been asked, that being thought unnecessary.
The legislative body received this day a message from the government respect- ing the propositions for the payment of the French troops which have lately entered this country. In the account presented, the two demi-brigades which embarked for Louisiana are not compre- hended.
The ships belonging to that expedi- tion are now receiving repairs, in con- sequence of the damage they suffered by the late stormy weather.
The government has official informa- tion of the evacuation of the Cape of Good Hope, from M c Schimmelpen- ninnck.
General Frere is the commander of the forces at Nimeguen. April 29.
By official information we are en- abled to contradict, with full authority, the assertion of the Leyden Gazette of this day, that the French army has been, within these few days, augmented by the arrival of about 6000 fresh troops at Nimeguen. It is very true, that about 6000 French troops are now at Nime- guen, and in its neighbourhood. But, it is not true, that those 6000 troops are an augmentation of the French army, which has been for a month now within the territory of this republic. The troops now at Nimeguen came from Dutch Brabant. It is above three weeks since any new troops entered the Batavian territory.
The news of the surrender of the Cape has produced a slight rise in the price of our public funds.
The officers of engineers, who were sent to fix batteries in the Isle of Goree, have used force to make those magazines to be opened in which the materials for fortification were laid up. Some serious differences have taken place between the Batavian officers in that Isle, and their dear brothers the French.
We have, within these few days, re- ceived the disagreeable news, that the yellow fever, having broken out at Cur- acao, has there carried off the greater part of the troops, many persons in offi- cial employment, and several gentlemen, the loss of whose talents and personal worth is exceedingly regretted.
On Saturday last an overland express was received in town from Bombay, via Bussora. Private letters by this com- veyance, dated in January, contain a favourable account of the late hostilities in Visapour. It appears that the whole force of Scinde attacked the main ar- my of Holkar in December, and obtain- ed a victory, which is stated to have been of a very decisive nature; and it was generally believed that Holkar had evacuated Poona, the capital of the Pe-

ishwa. The Nawab's detachments had fortunately formed a junction with the Peishwa's cavalry. The Nawab at the same time commenced the siege of Kerkowly, and effected a large breach in one of the bastions of the fort, which his troops were on the point of investing. A deputation has been sent to Nagpore, to induce the Berar, or Eastern Mahratas, to join Scindia's standard; but the result of the message was not known.
The French Minister at War, in a letter of the 25th, directs the general of the first military division, to treat as deserters, all those belonging to the requisition of the 19th year not having yet joined, who shall not appear on the 19th of May and produce their leave of absence.
BRUSSELS, April 29.
For some time we have observed in the newspapers of the capital and the departments, very incorrect articles relative to the First Consul's coming to the Belgian departments of the republic, and the time of his stay here. I shall not attempt to examine and refute in detail, all the errors, contradictions, and improbabilities, which have been propagated. At Antwerp the merchants are preparing to give a magnificent entertainment to the First Consul, in the Exchange Hall. At Ghent, the most suitable dispositions have likewise been made to receive him. In all the towns through which he is expected to pass, guards of honour, with rich uniforms, are ready to wait upon his person. But the city of Brussels will on this occasion distinguish itself above every other place in these departments. The Mayor has requested the inhabitants to new paint and decorate the outside of their houses, and the request has been generally complied with. Our principal streets and public squares now present an appearance highly gay and agreeable.
The robe of Brussels lace, intended for Madame Bonaparte, does the greatest honour to M. de Reuff, by whom it is prepared. It is remarkable for its richness, and for its fineness and delicacy of texture. It will be quite finished in the course of next week. The entertainment which is to be given by the general council, in the name of the department, in a magnificent hall, adjoining to Vauxhall, in the Park; that which the Mayor intends to give at the town-house, where great preparations are now made; and that which the merchants are to give, at the grand Concert-hall, will be in the highest degree, elegant and sumptuous. The merchants have now a new subscription on foot among them for the entertainment they mean to give. The precise period at which the hero is to arrive here, we are still unable to fix.
THE DUTCH MAIL.
A letter from the Hague, of the 29th ult. by the Dutch Mail arrived yesterday, says—“five thousand French troops have marched in Nimeguen, and 1,200 lie encamped out of that city. It is thought this force is destined for Hanover, in case of a rupture. The 27th, Mr. Linton, the English Ambassador, communicated to our government the agreeable intelligence which he had received by a courier from England, that the Cape of Good Hope, with all its forts, was delivered on the 21st Feb. to the Batavian governor; and that the place is now occupied by Dutch troops.”
The Dutch are still in the utmost anxiety on the subject of peace or war. The Leyden Gazette, after mentioning the evacuation of the Cape, says—“It is much to be wished that this event may contribute to an adjustment of the existing differences between France and England, lately increased by the delay in the cession of the Cape. Holland has the greater reason to wish that this may be the case, as the very prospect of war has already been to very injurious and expensive, particularly by the recur of so many foreign troops to her territory. The latter are now augmented by the arrival at Nimeguen of 6,000 additional French troops. Their march, it is said, may be connected with the views of the French government upon Hanover, in case of war.” It certainly would prove the utter extinction of all independence in the Empire, and all the dignity of its chief, if foreign troops were to be suffered to enter it for reasons wholly foreign from German politics. In other times that point would have occasioned much agitation, but we fear the decree of the cabinet of St. Cloud would meet with no opposition.
A letter from Rotterdam, April 29th, to a respectable house in London, contains the following important facts:—
“To day brought us an account of very unpleasant occurrences having taken place for this country. It appears the French commandant at Breda exacted 2,000, from the magistracy as a contribution. On its being refused, he took the liberty of placing soldiers in the houses of the inhabitants, who were then glad to come forward, and each pay a certain quota to be liberated from this plague and expence. Outrages of a more ferocious nature have taken place at Helvoet, where a corps of French troops appeared, and the commander intimating that his intention
was to take charge of the fortress, the Dutch commandant refused his admission, on which he exhibited a positive instruction to do so from Bonaparte; so that they have now taken possession of that place, no little, I assure you, to the displeasure of this country in general. We begin to be so seriously alarmed at war, that vessels have been sent out to meet our East and West-Indiamen, to warn them to make for the first friendly harbour they can.”
COMMERCE OF THE BLACK SEA.
The following interesting speculations respecting the advantages which are likely to arise to France from the free navigation of the Black Sea, appear to be the result of deep investigation, and are well entitled to the attention of the commercial branches of the community. These observations are the production of M. Malekenecky, an expatriated Pole, who stands very high in the confidence of Bonaparte, and whose speculations have been published with the sanction of the French government.
The various and abundant products of Poland were, for a long time, exported by the Baltic only. In the latter years of its political existence, the Poles tired of the enormous duties laid on by the Prussian government, began to think that the course of the Black Sea would, in every respect, prove more advantageous to their interests.
The old government of France, aware of the fertility of the southern provinces of Poland, and the importance of their products to the French navy and commerce, was preparing to encourage the Poles in this new enterprise; but this was only a momentary project, and not adopted until the cabinet of Versailles was in its decline.
These provinces constitute almost one half of the extent of Poland. They are watered by three great rivers; the Dnieper or Boristhenes, which empties itself into the Black Sea above Cherson; the Bog, which enters it at Oczakow; and the Dniester, which has its mouth at Ackerman. These three rivers traverse a much greater extent of country than the Niemen or the Vistula, the only grand channels of Polish commerce by the Baltic Sea; and the countries through which they flow may justly be called the land of promise, with respect to the means of supplying the chief necessities of man. As a proof of the abundance of provisions in this country, it is sufficient to state that the Ukraine alone furnished several Russian armies during the whole of the last war with the Turks.
It produces ship timber in great abundance, and of very great age, as may be seen in the reports of the master at Toulon, who was sent purposely to examine the masts of this country. The masts brought by the way of Riga and the Baltic, were from ten to twenty months in the conveyance, while those brought by way of Cherson, arrived in three months at Toulon. The experiment having been made by the old French government; and Mr. Anthoine has evinced by arithmetical calculations, that Cherson is far preferable to Riga for the conveyance of Polish masts.
Hemp, for sail cloth and cordage, horse hair, common wool, bleached and green linen, packing cloth, raw and tanned hides, may here be obtained in great quantities.
It also abounds in salt-petre, tar, tallow, hemp, and linseed oils, honey, butter, hogs-lard, hops, rosin and aqua-vite.
The different kinds of wax are sold at so low a rate in the Ukraine, that the Austrian merchants carry them by land to Gallacia, whence they are conveyed also by land carriage across Moldavia and Austria, as far as Trieste; at which port, notwithstanding the enormous expence of conveyance, they always fetch a considerable profit.
The Ukraine produces very excellent tobacco. A trial was made of it in France in 1757, and it was allowed to be nearly equal to that of Virginia. The framers of the tax upon this article were even on the point of contracting with a banker in Warsaw for a supply, when a war broke out, and put an end to the speculation.
Pot and pearl ashes, which have long come from Poland, through the ports of Dantzick, Koningburgh, and Elbing, are also productions of the Ukraine; and it is easy to calculate the difference of price which must result from their conveyance by the Black Sea and Baltic.
These countries, so rich in articles of the first necessity, are almost entirely destitute of manufactures. The trade of France would, therefore, obtain by the Black Sea a market equally advantageous to the two countries, for its woollens, silks, trinkets, wines, fine oils, liquors, sugar, coffee, spices, drugs, dye stuffs, &c. The experiments actually made, before the revolution, evinced of what importance this trade might become to France, and particularly to the departments bordering on the Mediterranean.
The French shipping might, besides, carry to this tract all the various commodities of the Levant. This trade is
carried on at present by Jews and Armenians only, by way of Moldavia; a channel which is tedious, expensive, and with respect to these unfortunate people, subject to a thousand extortions.
The aggregate of the exports by the Black Sea would become much more considerable for France, than that of the English and Dutch by the Baltic; and the imports through this channel would also be much greater than through Dantzick, Koningburgh, and Riga, because the Dnieper, the Bog, and the Dniester, being once made navigable through their whole extent, penetrate much farther into the interior of the country than the Niemen or Vistula. The canal of Muchacz, which already joins the Vistula at Pezipce, and that of Oginski, which might be continued so as to unite the Boristhenes to the Niemen, would of course enable the whole of ancient Poland to share in the commerce of the Black Sea, and join to the already immense advantages of this trade those also of the Baltic.
Russia, which has allotted a part of this country to herself in the general partition, begins to encourage the trade of the Black Sea, which truly presents such magnificent prospects, and has even recently constructed a new port, named Odessa, or Odigibia.
This commerce may become for France a new and valuable mine of wealth, the opening of which, due to the genius and activity of the government, may be reckoned among its glorious labors. This commerce may furnish a solid basis for an intimate union of the interests of France and Russia. In this quarter the French will not, as in the Baltic, and every other part of the world, have to encounter that rival nation which attempts to engross every branch of commerce, and which, at present, from its capital, the quality of its manufactures, and its policy, (founded entirely, in the last result, upon its commerce) form those obstacles, which it is frequently very difficult to surmount. France, besides, from its connections, its credit, the proximity of its ports in the Mediterranean, and its power upon that sea, is the nation best calculated for conducting this commerce.
From the ALBANY REGISTER.
I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious, said Paul to the people of Athens when he saw an altar among them, inscribed to an unknown Deity. May not the same address be made to numbers who are found among the followers of the leaders of federal politics. It is a truth, which is every day made undeniably evident, that a very great many of the people who have classed themselves with federalists, do not know what are the principles of that party, and wherein they differ from those of the Republicans.
It is the duty of every freeman to deliberate coolly, and as far as possible, to lay aside the prejudices which he may have unwarily suffered to creep into his mind, while he is determining on the men he is to support for a seat in the councils of his country: since beyond all doubt there are thousands who remain with the federal party merely because they at first sided with it, when federalism was essentially different from what it now is, not having, perhaps, ever considered the total change it has undergone, since it was first distinguished by a name; it may not, therefore, be an unprofitable business to enquire what it actually is at this day.
In performing this task, it is not so much necessary to attend to the professions uttered by the ten thousand tongues which are continually busy in discussing the affairs of the nation, as to ascertain what are the views which have been clearly manifested by those who are notoriously the leaders in politics.
In forming our opinions from this source, we are compelled to believe that the object of federalism is to give to our nation an ideal aggrandizement, the consequence of which would be, oppression of the people, by laws rigid in the extreme, and executed with severity—enormous exactions of money—a deprivation of morals, and the destruction of liberty. In order to prove those things let us recur to transactions yet fresh in our memories.”
It is but seldom that the secrets of statesmen are exposed to public view; such an occurrence, brought about by the jealousies and jarring tempers of two highly conspicuous personages, is within the remembrance of every one. It was in the famous era of X, Y & Z, when federalism was in the zenith of its glory—when sedition laws were triumphant, and when the name of God was less sacred than the name of a President: when a systematic plan was instituted for the extermination of every printing-press, but those devoted to federalism, and the extermination was nearly effected; when swarms of cockaded boys, like the frogs of Egypt, infested our cities, and crept their way from every hole and corner of the country; when the blackguard Porcupine, and his multitude of humble imitators, poured out their abuse in unmeasurable torrents, and rang their changes on all the reproachful epithets of the vulgar, in one continual peal, from one end of the continent to the other,
and when even the pulpits resounded with pious anathemas against political heretics: I say it was at this memorable time that the arch federalists, President Adams and General Hamilton, fell out and betrayed the views of each other. The first accused the last of belonging to a British faction, and he again accused the first of being a passionate fool. In the conflict between the two, the veil of the federal sanctuary was rent in twain, and the awful mysteries of the cabinet disclosed!
Arra patuit janua ditis.
Hell's black portals open flood. These were both seen mounted on gigantic hobbies, and running foul of each other; the one bethrode a mighty army and the other a matchless fleet . They both alike panted for war as the means of raising America's fame and their own to that pinnacle of elevation from which they might look down on “all the kingdoms of the world and the glory thereof.” The one ran, from state to state, crying out, to war, to war, my boys! to war! The other at the same time waved his standard over the continent and made a thousand drums beat the signal of alarm. In the midst of these mighty doings, the President stopped short. Whether the strokes of conscience arrested him, and the good genius of America portrayed on his imagination, the blood of millions which he was about to bring on his soul, or whether he was fearful of the importance he was about to give to a rival chief, by opening for him a career of military achievements, is not certainly known. But this we do know, that that benignant Providence who seems to have made the destinies of America his peculiar care, so ordered that the President who had but a few days solemnly declared, that he would, never make further overtures, for peace, now suddenly changed his mind and in opposition to the most strenuous efforts of his counsellors to the contrary, carried his determination into effect. The dismal prospect of being speedily immersed in all the horrors of a war, unexampled in its kind, and the consequences of which were buried from the most eagle-eyed statesmen in impenetrable glooms, instantly vanished, as if that voice which speaks the tumultuous ocean into stillness, had audibly uttered his Veto on the meditated scheme.
Here let us stand still awhile and consider. Was war necessary at that time? War like manslaughter, is only justifiable when it cannot be avoided, but at the evident hazard of our existence; but war could then be avoided in an honourable manner, as the event has proved, by merely making an honest effort to obtain peace. War therefore was not justifiable or necessary. Unnecessary wars render nations guilty of downright murder, of a kind the most aggravated that can possibly be conceived, for which they will most assuredly, sooner or later be visited by avenging Heaven. But further consider what have been the immediate consequences had not war been so unexpectedly, so providentially and in such a wonderful manner prevented. It is not in the power of figures to sum up all the evils that would have flowed from it. This, however, is certain, it would have depraved our morals and loaded us with an enormous debt. It would, in all probability, have entangled us with foreign alliances that would necessarily draw us into frequent subsequent wars; and it would have entailed on us the burthensome establishments of a standing army and a large navy. Now this is precisely the situation of affairs which is the grand aim of the federal leaders, and clears up the mystery why, under the smallest pretences, they are ever the advocates of war. Those who are unacquainted with all the wheels of diplomatic machinery, may think it impossible that such a situation should be desirable to any human being.—But let it be considered that statesmen have a regard only to consequences, if they are desirable in their eyes, although the misery of millions be involved in the means that lead to them, all subordinate matters are of no consideration. To detail all the expectations which such a consideration of things would realize, is not my object at present, suffice it to say that without something similar to it, that Bonaparte would not
* In consequence of this rupture, General Hamilton published a pamphlet, entitled, “A letter concerning the public conduct and character of John Adams,” &c. in which he censures his administration with great severity; and among other things insinuates that he is too much under the government of his passions, and has other weaknesses which render him unfit to be President. A friend of Mr. Adams, published another pamphlet in reply to Hamilton's retorting the charges of weakness, &c. One of his paragraphs runs thus, “Permit me to state further, Sir, that in the spring of '98, you addressed the people of the United States on the necessity of raising a considerable army; and endeavouring to convince them of the danger of innovation—a danger altogether chimerical, and almost morally impossible. You was the principal instrument of exciting an unfounded alarm, and producing measures that put the country to unnecessary expences. And it was not the moderate number of twelve regiments only that you intended to have raised. In a writing which you put into the hands of your friends, you proposed a much larger establishment, and far beyond the revenues of the country. Report says 40,000 infantry and 10,000, cavalry, but the particular number I cannot specify.
In another place he says, “Mr. Adams has credit of being the father of the navy.”
now be the greatest man upon earth, for the French name strike a panic through the four quarters of the globe; there would have been no pretences for ennobling and perishing a host of heroes, that have spread abroad the glory of England; there would have been no scope for those proud vauntings which are so delicious to the corrupt nature of man; and there can be no hopes of equal displays of grandeur in America.
It is a truth as firmly fixed as the everlasting hills, that it is the object, not of the great body of federalists, but of those who are at the head of their movements, and with whose views they blindly cooperate, to bring the national affairs of this country to a complexion more nearly resembling that of the British government. It is the belief of such politicians that the hands of our administrations require to be strengthened—that a Navy and Army—extensive and complex systems of impost, excise and internal taxation—Funded Debts copiously and widely diffused—and an ample Judiciary, both itinerant and stationary, over the continent, would create such numbers of dependents, that they together with their connections and all within the sphere of their influence, co-operating with the ministers of government, would give such a tone to its measures as to disregard and bid defiance to popular clamors. The expence of such arrangements is a matter of no moment; it is necessarily incident to what is called good government . Such I must believe to be the principles of modern federalism, or I must disbelieve the evidence of my senses.
But such is still the temper of Americans, that the scheme will not be permitted to be openly carried into execution. On the effects which war may produce, then, are the last hopes of federalism founded. Who does not remember the violent efforts that were made but a few months ago to embroil us with Spain and France in the affair of New-Orleans. Gracious Heaven! to what was it that the federalists were urging us with such clamors? Without the shadow of an occasion, to seize a mad bull by the horns who had but a little while before made the world to flee from his presence. Had federalism obtained its wishes in this case our fields might soon be drenched with blood in contests with a hundred thousand of the veterans of Bonaparte; our cities sacked, the bulk of half the nation annihilated, and multitudes reduced to want, beggary and wretchedness—but no matter, provided in the end the affairs of the nation were left in the condition to which they had been reduced by federalism. No price can be paid too dear for it in their estimation.
Fellow citizens! reflect on these things. We are at this time beyond all contradiction, the happiest people on the face of the earth: no poor man, no beggar is to be seen among us. To want bread, has never been heard of throughout the vast extent of our highly favored country; while you cannot find a spot in Europe, where to set your foot, without being shocked with spectacles of misery. What is the reason? Is the earth less fruitful there, and nature more unkind to her offspring? No; but all these evils flow from the nature of their governments. Would you be like them? Do you covet the condition of Ireland, or even that of Britain, the boastful mistress of the ocean? Is it a desirable thing, to see your streets and your highways, like her's, crowded with beggars and robbers? Then go, be federalists, and give your support to federal measures.
The present administration professes to study economy, to avoid all unnecessary establishments and a profligate waste of the resources of the nation. It refuses to copy after the corrupt courts of Europe, and for these things it is abused. But of what kind are these abuses? Is it proved that the measures of government are wrong? No, they are chiefly composed of such personal slanders as would disgrace the tea-table of gossipers. O federalism to what desperate expedients art thou reduced! Low indeed art thou fallen, and miserable is thy cause, when thy last resort, thy ultima ratio , is PRIVATE SCANDAL !
Tell us, ye who execrate republicanism, tell us what has the present republican President or any of his ministers done to give you dissatisfaction? Which of their transactions oppresses the people or have a tendency to do so? Of what are you afraid? Are you really such children, or is it only pretence that you are frightened at the bugbears which your federal conjurors have raised? If ye are men, attend to facts and not phantoms—Insult us no longer with your ridiculous cries, that your religion & your churches are to be subverted, government destroyed, and the reign of chaos restored to the earth; act rationally and abjure federalism.

ACADEMY OF ARTS.
We understand that the Rotunda of the Pantheon is in a state of preparation for the reception of the admirable statues received from Paris.
An artist is at present employed in unpacking and preparing them for exhibition.
The casts are numerous and from the most celebrated antiquities in the galleries of Europe. The Apollo Belvedere, the Medicean Venus, and the Laocoon Group, hold distinguished stations among them.
We are informed that the exhibition will be opened about the 2d July, in a style worthy of the institution.
It is expected that a numerous and brilliant company will be assembled on that occasion; that the boxes around the amphitheatre will be thrown open for their reception; the members of the Academy will have stations provided in the Rotunda. A band of music will attend, and an oration will be delivered by the president.
A pamphlet has lately been published in Paris descriptive of the different statues collected in that metropolis. The article relating to the Apollo Belvedere, as translated by a member of the Academy, appears in our paper this morning. The translation will be occasionally continued till all the statues in this collection are described.
THE PYTHIAN APOLLO.
Called the Apollo Belvedere.
The Son of Latona, in his rapid course, has just overtaken the serpent Python. The mortal dart is already discharged from his dreadful bow, which he holds in his left hand, and from which his right is just withdrawn; the motion impressed on all his muscles are still preserved. Indignation sits on his lip, but on his countenance the certainty of victory is imprinted, and his eye sparkles with satisfaction at having delivered Delphos from the monster which ravaged its coasts.
His hair, lightly curled, flows in ringlets down his neck, or rises with grace to the summit of his head, which is encircled with the Strophium, the distinguishing band of gods and kings. His quiver is suspended by a belt across his left shoulder. His feet are covered with rich sandals. His robe (Chlamys) attached to the shoulder, turned upon the left arm only, is thrown back, shearing to greater advantage his divine form. The glow of youth enlivens his elegant person, in which nobleness and agility with vigor and elegance are sublimely blended, preserving an happy medium between the delicate form of Bacchus, and the more firm and masculine lines of Mercury.
Apollo, the vanquisher of the serpent Python, is an ingenious fable, invented by the ancients to express the genial influence of the sun, that renders the air salubrious by purifying the infectious exhalations of the coasts, of which this reptile is the emblem—every thing in this figure, to the very trunk of the tree, introduced to support it, presents some interesting allusion. This trunk is that of the ancient olive tree, of Delos, under whose shade the god was born. It is adorned with fruit, and the serpent ascending it is the symbol of life and death, of which Apollo was the god.
This statue, the most perfect of all which time has spared, was found about the close of the 15th century, on Capo d'Anzio, is 12 leagues from Rome, on the margin of the sea, in the ruins of the ancient Antium a city celebrated for its temple of fortune, and for the villas built by the emperor and embellished with master pieces of art.
Julius the second, while a cardinal, purchased this statue and placed it, in the first instance, in the palace he occupied near the church of the apostles; but shortly after having attained the Pontificate, he removed it to the Belvedere of the Vatican, where for three centuries it remained the admiration of the world; when at last, guided by victory, arrived to transplant it, and fill it (perhaps) forever on the banks of the Seine.
It is a question for antiquaries and naturalists to determine, from what quarry the marble of this Apollo has been cut. The statuary of Rome who from their occupation have an extensive knowledge of ancient marbles, have invariably deemed it to be an antique Grecian marble, although of a quality very different from the most known species. On the contrary, the painter Mengs has asserted that this statue is of the marble of Luni or Carrara, the quarries of which were known and worked in the time of Julius Cæsar. Citizen Dolorieu a learned mineralogist is of the same opinion, and he pretends to have found in one of the ancient quarries of Luni, fragments of marble resembling that of the Apollo. Notwithstanding these authorities, this subject may still be considered as very doubtful. Ancient writers inform us that there were in Asiatic Greece, statuary marbles of the first quality—whose quarries, unknown at present, may have furnished the marble of the Apollo.
The beauty of the statues of Antinous,
and the perfection of sculptured works executed in his day, evidently demonstrate that until the epoch of Adrian, at least, the Grecian school furnish artists, worthy to be compared with the ablest statuary of antiquity. Piny entertained the opinion of the artists of his age.
The author of this inestimable master piece is entirely unknown. The lower part of the right arm and the left hand, which were wanting, have been restored by Giovanni Angelo de Mentorsoli sculptor, and pupil of Michael Angelo.
ACCOUNT OF A NEW PANTOMIME.
This bastard species of the theatrical amusement has been criticised by our dramatic censors, perhaps too severely, as being incapable of gratifying tastes superior to those of tradesfolks, or children in the holidays. Exhibitions of this nature ought not, however, to be condemned in toto. There are a few that merit exemption from so general a censure; such, for instance, are those in which an interesting story may be expressed and understood by action only; and among this kind may be reckoned the pantomime of "Robinson Crusoe." But that sort deserves the highest praise, which, to a story deeply interesting, add the most wonderful feats of action, the most ingenious machinery, and the sublimest scenery. Of this last and most perfect species of pantomime, we never had it in our power to notice an example before the present famous piece, entitled
HARLEQUIN IN ITALY, OR A FLIGHT OVER THE ALPS.
We proceed to give our readers a brief sketch of the plot, characters and scenery of this extraordinary representation. To impress a just idea of the merits and celebrity of the respective performers, collected as they have been from every nation in Europe, it is only necessary to represent the following role of the
DRAMATIS PERSONAE:
Harlequin by Presillissimo Bonavarte The Magician by Le Pere See Eyes; Sempervivo, Harlequin's friend Signor Messino; Columbine's Father M. La Revolutionaire; Columbine's Suitor, The Baron Franciscus; Pantalone Count Paulo Pavigitz; Scaramouch, Chevalier Swallowall; Clown, the famous Sieur Pitto; Punchinello, (the ? Mr. M'Dunderafat; Clown's man) V. Victoria.
This Pantomime at the opening does not very materially differ from others. Columbine, wearied with the importunities of suitors, of whose addresses, notwithstanding the imperious commands of her father, she cannot approve, chooses of herself, in the execution of fancy, an imaginary lover, with whom she becomes enamoured, even before he has existence. The Magician, knowing the state of her mind by his magic art, waves his wand, calls up his familiars, and gives birth to a harlequin exactly suited to her inclinations. Here a variety of scenes are exhibited, en Ombres Chinoises before the actual development of the drama. By these Harlequin is understood to have obtained a temporary possession of Columbine. The fair fugitive becomes wanton and capricious, and longs for a Mamour; upon which Harlequin begins his feats and adventures. Harlequin performs his first spring from the feet of the Alps to the island of Malta, and from the island of Malta to the land of Egypt. This amazing jump reminds the classical reader of the hop, step, & leap that Neptune makes in the Iliad, from Samothracia to Troy:— "From realm to realm three ample strides he took."
Harlequin's adventures into Egypt form a brilliant display of scenery and machinery. There, like his predecessor St. George, he encounters several terrible Saracens, and sundry fiery dragons. The Clown, however, who, as in other pantomimes, is the head and soul of Harlequin's enemies and pursuers, finds a way, some how or other, haud passibus æquis , to come up with him; upon which the Clown who is himself a conjuror, and very clever withal, brings forward a trained crocodile, which he sets at Harlequin, exactly as a butcher sets his dog at a bull. The monster is then seen to open his enormous jaws, to make a snap at Harlequin, and in fine, to swallow him up at a mouthful. The Clown then turns about to the audience, and laughs, and all the audience laugh with him.
Poor Harlequin being thus disposed of, to all appearance forever, the scene changes to the Alps, and exhibits Columbine's adventures in the absence of Harlequin. There she is several times entrapped by the lover she detests; but, by the assistance of Harlequin's sprightly friend, Sempervivo, he contrives to escape. The lover finding himself likely to be foiled, calls in Pantaloon, and his man Scaramouch, to his assistance. Pantaloon makes his debut, mounted on a tall pair of stilts (concealed by his long
pantaloons), in order to appear grand. Scaramouch, however, is a much more formidable personage; he is furnished with an immensely fierce pair of multichoices, and flourishes in either hand a huge carving knife and fork, with which he threatens to cut up and eat all the little children he can meet with.
Sempervivo, no ways intimidated, performs a thousand astonishing capers; he skips from Alp to Alp like a Shamoy goat, and excels Harlequin himself in some of his vaulting. In fine, he rescues Columbine from Pantaloon, fend him off with a flea in his ear, shaves the whiskers of Scaramouch, and drives him blubbering after his master. At last the clown and the lover lay their heads together; by the assistance of a black knight, they once more recover Columbine, and shut up Sempervivo in an enchanted castle. Here then the audience are led to suppose the piece will conclude, and that Columbine will be obliged to marry the lover of the father, is—comes the douexement of the—likingly evinces the superior excellence of this pantomime above every other; inasmuch as supernatural or miraculous methods are never employed, until nothing can be effected by ordinary means; the contriver thereby strictly adhering to the precept of Horace,
Nec deus interfuit nisi dignus vindice nodus. The stage represents a scene at once beautiful and sublime—of the Alpine coast of the Mediterranean. Enter the Magician from between two rocks, solutus and in all his awful paraphernalia; his San-Benito cap on his head, his white wand in his hand; his sable robe, and his venerable beard, "streaming like a meteor in the troubled air." He waves his wand over the sea, and begins his magical incantations; when, behold! an immense and terrific sea-monster is seen swimming towards him. In short, this monster proves to be the identical crocodile that had swallowed up Harlequin in Egypt, and he now vomits him up safe and sound on the shore. After all, this surprising incident does not shock probability very much. We have the best precedent for it in Jona and the whale. By the by, it might have been a crocodile, and not a whale that was concerned in the affair of Jona.
The text simply mentions "a great fish," but what genius, commentators have not yet been able to agree. Harlequin, like a fly escaped from a cobweb, having cleansed himself from the gastic juice of the crocodile, prepares to take "flight o'er the Alps," to recover Columbine, and to release his friend Sempervivo from the enchanted castle. Here the scenery of the piece produces the most awful and interesting effect. Harlequin is seen, sometimes gliding like a meteor among the Glaciers, sometimes ascending the snowy pinnacles of the mountains, and sometimes opening for himself a passage through the perpendicular rocks of granite by a stroke of his sword. In fine he arrives at the scene of action in less time than would be required circumstantially to describe the journey. He now becomes invincible. He completely baffles the black Knight, the lover, the clown, and the clown's man, releases his friend Sempervivo from the enchanted castle, and carries off Columbine in triumph.
Such is the general outline of this celebrated pantomime; in which, however, many subordinate characters and interesting episodes are introduced: but these could not be conveniently noticed without breaking the thread of the narrative.
In this piece the contrast of characters and the whimsicality of situations are very remarkable. In other pantomimes, the actor who plays the part of the clown, is generally equal, if not superior in agility to the Harlequin; because, to perform these practical blunders it requires more real address than for feats of activity. But the source of amusement in this piece arises from the downright and sincere attempts of the clown to rival the gambols of Harlequin, the said clown being crippled with the goat. For instance, when Harlequin takes his surprising leap across the Mediterranean, the clown, in imitation, attempts a running leap over a ditch, but not knowing his ground he links up to his neck in a bog-hole, in which he would have been infallibly smothered, if Harlequin had not run to his assistance, and dragged him out in a curious pickle. At another time, when Harlequin jumps on the top of the Alps, the clown essays to leap out of a ferry boat on a rock; he jumps short, however, and breaks his nose and shins. But if the clown is awkward on land, he is wonderfully active on water. Put him in a wherry, with a sculler in each hand, and he'll shoot the fall of Niagara.
There is one remarkably droll incident in this entertainment. Harlequin at a time, wishing to accommodate differences, sends his proposals to the clown, on two scrolls of papyrus, who by way of compliment converts them to a very curious kind of use. Afterwards Harlequin gets possession of the two scrolls, & makes the clown eat them. This laughable circumstance, notwithstanding, appears to have been borrowed from the cholerie Etruscan, making ancient Pistol eat up the leek, Henry the Fifth. Punchinello is a
very amusing personage; there is a train of firewheels observable in all his blunders, and as your dramatic drawcansir "out Herod Herod;" to Punchinello out-clowns the clown.
We regret to notice that this pantomime is likely to have but a short run. The principal performer has so well succeeded, that, he is about to turn manager, and the other performers, though excellently their way, are all embarrassed circumstances; so much so that some of them must be contented to take refuge in the fleet.
WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, JUNE 24.
Yesterday the CORNER STONE of the Washington Theatre was laid by John P. Van Ness, Esquire, at the request of the Theatre Committee. Previously to laying the stone a procession, preceded by the Italian band of music, and composed of Mr. Hadfield A. Cheetham, accompanied by Mr. Latrobe, of the Theatre committee, and of a number of respectable gentlemen, citizens of Washington, moved from Moin's Tavern to the ground, where the ceremony was performed, after a few pertinent remarks from Mr. Van Ness.
We are this day enabled to lay before our readers additional details of foreign news extracted from the London Courier of the 4th of May.
SIR,
A mad dog was killed near the jail last week. As dogs are very numerous in this city, children should be cautioned against playing with them till it is known whether any have been bit by this dog.
Indeed I have often thought that the mischief done by the Mongrel Hounds , and half Pointers who fly kill all young animals, pigs, sheep, calves, poultry, &c. should discourage the raising any more, perhaps a tax would be the surest mode of curing the evil.

Elizabeth Town, (N. J.) May 21.
Mad dogs have within a few days past become a terror to the inhabitants of this state—we noted a few weeks since, the depredations committed by one in Bridge-Town; since which we have heard of several instances of others having been seen in various parts of this neighborhood—one at Springfield, a few days since, bit a man in a most shocking manner; he immediately applied to Dr. Steele, at Belle Ville, who pronounced it the worst wound he had ever seen occasioned by the bite of a dog; this man is the fortieth patient who has applied to the same doctor, we have been told, within a few weeks, for advice for the same complaint.

MARITIME INTELLIGENCE.
It is well known that sea-water cannot be employed for washing clothes. It refuses to dissolve soap, and possesses the properies of hard water in perfection—This is a great hardship to seamen, whose allowance of fresh water is necessarily limited; and it prevents them from enjoying many of those comforts of cleanliness which contribute not a little to health. The method of removing this defect is exceedingly simple, and by no means expensive. It has been lately pointed out by Dr. Mitchell, of N. York, and ought to be made as public as possible, for the sake of our sailors. Drop into sea-water a solution of soda, or pot-ash, and it becomes milky, in consequence of the decomposition of the earthy salts, and the precipitation of the earths. This addition renders it soft, and capable of washing. Its milkiness does no injury, and need not therefore be minded.

MORE REMAINS OF ROUSSEAU. While Rouffau lived at Montmorency, Madame De Solar, and Madame De Franqueville, two ladies who had been pleased to be acquainted with the Nouvelle Heloise, opened a correspondence with him, under the feigned names of Julia and Clara. He made replies to their letters; and the correspondence was
continued till it had produced nine letters from Madame De Solar, ninety-four from Madame De Franqueville, and fifty-six from Rouffau. All these letters have been preserved in the original manuscripts. There are also certain unpublished letters from Rouffau to his highly valued friend, M. Dupeyron. The whole of both these series of correspondence, is now about to be published from the originals, at Paris.
From the Boston Chronicle.
"The extorted approbation of an enemy is real praise."—A correspondent who heard the debates of the Senate, last week, on the subject of the Bank, noticed an observation of the Hon. Mr. Mason, that the price current of bank stock is graduated in the market by the sale of a few shares; but that if any considerable proportion of such stock were offered for sale at once, the price would be thereby immediately and greatly depreciated, just as it would be with other property. For instance, a single house in Boston might be sold for 10,000 dollars; but if all or half of the houses in town were for sale at the same time, that very house could not be sold for more than 5,000 dollars. This observation, although applied by way of argument to another purpose, directly confirms the reasoning of Mr. Secretary Gallatin, as to the sale of the bank shares of the United States. Indeed it seems to be borrowed from the Secretary.
Another remark was made, and concurred in by all the speakers, for & against the petition for a new bank, that the great multiplication of such institutions, in this and almost every other state, had operated and was continually operating to diminish the dividends, and reduce the price of bank stock. This fact furnishes a proof of the wise policy adopted by the commissioners of the sinking fund, at the recommendation of Mr. Gallatin, on the subject of the late sale of our national bank shares. Indeed the more that financial measure is examined, the more judicious and beneficial it will appear. The same remark is applicable to all the leading measures of the present administration. Their system, abstracted from party considerations, is congenial with the fair sentiments of ninety-tenths even of the federalists of Massachusetts; and nothing but prejudice prevents their seeing, feeling and acknowledging it.
