CHARACTER OF THOMAS JEFFERSON.
(NOW PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.)
The following elegant and we doubt not correct delineation of one of the most important political characters now in existence, we hope may be acceptable to our readers; this portrait of a great and upright statesman, patriot and philosopher, is the production of an American pen, and was drawn during the late political ferment in the United States.
THE superior distinction which Mr. Jefferson has acquired, in the political world, is founded upon the alliance of virtue and fortune. Great events give birth to great talents. It is not difficult to say, however, that had the revolution in America never taken place, he would have risen to considerable fame in the republic of letters and philosophy. The advantages of an excellent education, habits of application and study, were circumstances that gave to his mind an inclination for philosophical and literary pursuits. His "Notes on the State of Virginia," is a work replete with merit; it discovers a mind at once sagacious and inquisitive; a mind capable, by the gradual means of experiment and rational deduction, of unfolding the sublime principles of truth. The same great event which has immortalised the genius of American patriotism, and drawn from obscurity the most brilliant talents in the field and cabinet, paid equal tribute to the virtues of Mr. Jefferson, and gave him distinction in the first rank of statesmen. At the first shock of that convulsion, which eventually separated the continent of America from Great Britain, the philosophical apparatus fell from his hand. Directed by that genuine patriotism which sacrifices private interest to public felicity, he exchanged rural ease and retirement for the bustle of active life, the researches of study for the more important duties of the cabinet. In this situation Mr. Jefferson seems to have been designed by character and talent to combine with the solidity the durability of reputation; his advancement was gradual, and every step of it was marked by a display of abilities that was equally honourable to himself, and competent to the difficulties occasioned by the precipitancy of events. There is a contemptible activity, which sacrifices personal dignity and independence to the rage of ambition, and the desire of fame. Not contented with the internal consciousness of deserving applause, and waiting with composure for the period which shall bestow it, it goes in search of unmerited laurels, and courts the acquisition at the expence of every sentiment of delicacy and propriety. This imputation never tarnished the character of Mr. Jefferson. The suffrages of his country were widely dispersed of. He deserved consideration and he obtained it. He never followed fame, but fame appears to have pursued him through every department in which fortune or circumstances have placed him. An understanding clear and sagacious, integrity unspotted by public reproach or private malice, and principles whose soundness and moderation are the best testimonials of their sincerity, were qualifications which called him to the highest departments of state. If it may be permitted to give an opinion of the political principles of Mr. Jefferson, it will be drawn from the aggregate qualifications of his character. This mode, however, may commonly be a very fallible one in forming our judgment, because the most manly virtues, and most brilliant intellects are too often in conflict with the latent feelings of the heart. But it would be uncharitable in the present instance to conceive a disparity which nothing confirms but every thing refutes. It would be barbarous to violate the sentiments of benevolence, and to reproach the judgment with defect without truth or reason. It is impossible to mark the progress of personal interest in the actions of a man, every part of whose conduct has been connected together by a chain of uniform morality, whose tone is decisive, whose style and language are clear and nervous, whose principles convey the reality of justice, and the convictions of experience and reflection. The political principles of Mr. Jefferson are drawn from an expanded intellect, that consults the oracles of nature and reason as its only guides. Born at a period when the whole universe was convulsed by the conflicting passions of mankind, it was his study to reconcile the jarring elements, and to extract felicity and order from misery and confusion. Experience and observation
have pointed out to him the wrecks of ambition and despotism, of error and prejudice. They have conveyed his mind through the various regions of society, familiarised it with the melancholy exhibition of lost dignity, of injured innocence, of polluted virtues, and led it in the awful contemplation of scenes at which his humanity shudders. It is no wonder, therefore, that his opinions are the pious innovations of the philosopher, who wishes to repair the injuries which an unjust policy has occasioned in the world: that he cherishes them as a peculiar tribute to his own feelings, which the understanding confirms, & the heart ratifies. Upon this liberal plan of philanthropy Mr. Jefferson is the true citizen of the world. Like Cato, he feels an attachment to his country; but, like Socrates, his affections embrace the universe. It will be difficult to reconcile the principles of such a character, with the views and inclinations that govern the parasite of despotism. The first are founded upon a basis whose truth is irrefragable, whose origin is nature, whose attribute morality, whose essence reason. The last sets nature at defiance, considers morality as mockery, and reason as a fool. If, therefore, Mr. Jefferson differs in opinion with many of his countrymen, it is because he differs in the degree of estimation in which these things are mutually held. He considers nature the source of every human right, morality the basis, and reason the guide of every human action. Of course, he perceives no grades of society, no partial distinctions; considers the people as the source of all power, as the guardians of their own rights. He makes allowances for the particular situation in which he has found mankind. He endeavours to reconcile their different interests by institutions calculated to produce the most extensive and complete felicity. Consulting nature, his maxims of government are pure and simple. They do not partake too much of that overstrained energy which borders on oppression, or of that loose, licentious fanaticism, which is connected with the subversion of all order and security in government. They point eventually to a reform of abuses which have constituted the greatest share of misery in society, which he considers as the excellence of state and ream of despotism. It is said, that Mr. Jefferson is a philosopher, that consequently he possesses a peculiar cast of mind that unfits him for the duties of a statesman. Let this objection rest in the bosom of the illiberal parasite of power, who sits at the foot-stool of despotism, and dreads the influence of a single qualification that might loosen the affections of a nation. For my part, I see not the incompatibility complained of. The philosopher is nothing more than a being whose morality is elevated; whose opinions are drawn from the convictions of truth and reason; whose expanded intellect disdains the shackles of prejudice; and whose soul looks with complacency upon the errors and fallibilities of mankind. The reverse of these qualifications constitutes the features of tyranny whenever it is blended with extensive power. There is an invisible chain which connects immorality with a contempt for truth, a contempt for truth with the delusions of error, and the delusion of error with the most brutal tyranny. Hence the licentiousness of courts, and the enormous crimes of ambition; hence the cold philosophy which chills the warmth of benevolence, and sacrifices on the polluted altars of despotism the happiness of millions. Disdain of the character of a courtier, where servility and flattery are the steps by which the obsequious arrive to fame and distinction, Mr. Jefferson has risen to the highest offices of government by his own intrinsic merit. The simplicity of his manners, and the reserved reserve of his temper, are the characteristics of a vigorous mind, which grasps at no other objects than the mere art of ruling. Yet there is no man in private life at once so amiable and so dignified, and none whose manners possess in a higher degree the incomparable facility of inspiring the combined emotions of attachment and respect. * * *  Mr. Jefferson appears, from the incomparable felicity of his temper, to have arrived at the most elevated height of philosophy. He has not escaped the misfortune, if it be one, of having enemies to depreciate his virtues and calumniate his principles. These virtues have frequently furnished pretences for the bitterest calumny. The acquaintance of his temper, however, never fell a victim to the unmanly provocations which so often disturb lively minds. His contempt for right conduct has afforded reserve beneath the surface of superficial loqua-
city, and his unshaken serenity, whilst the whole political world was moving around him, mark a soul capable of holding calamity at defiance. Viewing mankind as they really are, biased by passions, swayed by prejudice, and with ears continually open to the invocations of individual interest, he stands aloof in the tenement of his own exalted mind, and, like Jupiter from Olympus, surveys with serenity and silence the fate of Empires. It is well known, that his enemies were of that obsequious tribe of court parasites, who moved in the inferior circles of respectability, and, feeling the influence of his talents, sought to decay them by arts of petulance and by loquacity. He has a knowledge of human nature, teaching him that this is the involuntary tribute of envy, and is consoled that it is the medium of the inculcation of truth; is satisfied that he is not conscious of deserving reproach, and is silent. Surely a man who can preserve such equanimity of temper, who can maintain the composure of his mind, and listen without the consciousness of deserving it, surely such a man is entitled to the first place in our esteem. They are attributes which few men possess, are the productions of the most difficult of all attainments, the knowledge and esteem of ourselves, and flow from an elevated philosophy that seeks tranquility in conscious rectitude, which teaches forbearance, whilst it refines our knowledge of human nature, and views the conflicting passions of mankind, as connected with the destiny of social life. To descend from this dignified sphere of human reason would be doing violence to the sanctuary of philosophy. His enemies may desire it, and seek occasion for that triumph which pertinacious mediocrity sometimes acquires over the sublimity of genius. He seeks the most complete security in the celestial sanctuary of self applause, in the steady discharge of the duties committed to his care, in an inflexibility to ill, and in the obstinacy of justice. The arts of malice, and the rude voice of faction, assail him in vain. The senseless clamours of his enemies make no impression on him. He appears invulnerable to the shafts of malignity which fall every where around him, blunted by the invincible dignity of his character and the high respectability of his talents.
TRIBUTE TO VALOR.
In a former paper we gave a description of the golden medal voted by congress to commodore Truxtun, for his bravery and conduct in capturing an enemy of superior force. As we found that the publication of that article gave general satisfaction, we have procured, thro' the assistance of a friend, an accurate account of another compliment bestowed on the gallant veteran. We allude to a silver urn, presented to commodore Truxtun by the underwriters of Lloyd's coffee-house, London, through our minister, Mr. King. The protection afforded to the commerce between the two countries, produced this mark of their approbation.
Morn. Chron.
   Fe. In.     Height of the urn, 2 1   Diameter, including handles, 1 4   Circumference of the body, 2 5  
The workmanship was by the best artists, and in the most finished style of execution; and the cost eliminated at 600 guineas.
On the top of the urn is a figure of Minerva, holding in her right hand an olive branch, and in her left the American eagle, his head encircled with thirteen stars, and between the wings the motto
E. PLURIBUS UNUM.
On one side of the urn is a representation of the action at the moment of the Insurgente's striking her colors. On the other side the following inscription:
Presented
By the Underwriters and Merchants At Lloyd's Coffee-House, in London, TO CAPT. THOMAS TRUXTUN, Of the American Frigate Constellation;
As a Mark of their Sense of his Services, And Admiration of
HIS GALLANT CONDUCT
In taking the
INSURGENTE FRENCH FRIGATE,
OF 44 GUNS,
In the West Indies,
In February, 1799.
Round the top of the urn are wreaths of laurel; and round the body wreaths of oak leaves, richly embossed. The bottom is also encircled with laurel; and
the finishing generally in the most elegant chaste work.
The following letters passed between Mr. King and commodore Truxtun on that occasion:
"London, February 4, 1801.
"Dear Sir,
"I have the pleasure of sending you annexed copies of a letter which I some time ago received from the master of Lloyd's coffee-house, and of my answer. The piece of plate referred to in this correspondence, will be delivered to the particular care of the master of the ship Two Friends, which will sail in a day or two for New-York.
"As no one has been more persuaded of the importance of our little navy, nor gratified by its conduct in every instance in which its gallantry has had opportunity to show itself, I beg you to be assured that no person could receive greater satisfaction than I do in transmitting to you this suffrage in its favor, from a nation familiar with naval talents, and capable of appreciating the merit it so honorably applauds.
"With great respect and esteem,
"I have the honor to be,
"Dear Sir,
"Your obedient
"And faithful servant,
"RUFUS KING."
Thomas Truxtun, Esq.
"New-York, 15th April, 1802.
"Dear Sir,
"I had the honor to receive, a few days ago, your obliging and kind letter of the 4th February last, together with an elegant urn, presented to me, through you, by the underwriters and merchants of Lloyd's Coffee-House, London; as also a copy of your correspondence with that body on the subject: for all of which, good Sir, be pleased to accept my most sincere thanks.
"Permit me to become further your debtor, by causing the enclosed to be delivered to that respectable assemblage of gentlemen, who have been so attentive in shewing such honorable approbation of my conduct in the West Indies, in Feb. 1799.
"I have the honor to be, dear Sir,
"With sentiments of the
"Highest respect,
"Gratitude and esteem,
"Your very obedient
"Humble servant,
"THOMAS TRUXTUN.
His excellency RUFUS KING, Esq. United States minister near the court of St. James's."
"New-York, 15th April, 1802.
"Gentlemen,
"I received, a few days ago, through our minister at your court, the elegant urn, which you, many of whom are my old friends and acquaintance, have been pleased to present to me. This mark of your attention, gentlemen, by which I am so much obliged, will leave an impression of respect and esteem on my mind that will only cease with my existence, and will be remembered after by my offspring. Accept of my sincere wishes that peace and good understanding may forever subsist between our respective nations whose interest it is to mutually cherish.

DIVISION ORDERS,
SAVANNAH, OCTOBER 25, 1802.
The Court Martial, of which Major Shad was President, ordered for the trial of Lieutenant Stackhouse, on the charges exhibited against him by Lt. Col. Mitchell, having found him guilty of the first, third, and fourth charges—to wit:
"1st. For unofficerlike conduct on the evening of the 29th of September last, whilst on duty, in breaking open, and taking possession by military force, of the house of Mr. Hom Gay, on Tybee Island.  3d. For disobedience of orders and unofficerlike conduct, in leaving his post from the morning of the 30th of September until his detachment was relieved.
4th. For disobedience of orders and unofficerlike conduct, on the evening of the 30th of September last, in not delivering up his sword when arrested."
And thereon having sentenced him to receive a reprimand from the Major-General, and to pay a sum of one hundred and eighty dollars, being equal to six months' pay when in actual service—the
Major-General confirms the sentence and disolves the court.
Whilst however the Major-General is induced to confirm the sentence, he is compelled to remark that it has been more indulgent than Lieutenant Stackhouse had a right to expect. The Lieutenant was sent to the station at Cockspur, to protect the citizens and their property—to not violate their rights and break open their houses. He was in actual service—the country in a state of alarm, not only in Georgia, but along the whole southern coast of the United States. Invasion and insurrection were expected, against either of which the state had a right to protect herself until the arm of the Union could be extended to her support. In such a situation as this, for an officer to leave his post—the post of HONOR as regarded himself, and of TRUST as regarded his country—was unpardonable. It affected his commission, if the rigour of the law had been pursued—if not his life.
Again, as it respects the fourth charge—The refusal of his sword to the order of the Colonel, is a gross violation of all military rule—the commission is the authority under which the officer has a right to wear the sword as such—and the sword is the security or bail to the state, that the officer will faithfully perform the trust reposed in him—if the principal fails the security becomes liable, and the sword must be taken from the officer charged with violating his contract.
But the idea of an officer's sword being private property after he receives his commission is a mistaken one—the commission is an exchange for its value—it belongs solely to his country as respects its use whilst he holds his commission, and may legally and shall be demanded hereafter on all occasions of arrest, in the first division, and the officer refusing shall be punished if a court martial will order it—or be confined if the arresting officer requires it.
It is hoped that the leniency of the sentence in the case of Lieut. Stackhouse will never be relied on by any officer on any future occasion. Lieut. Stackhouse stands highly culpable in the Major-General's view, & is hereby severely remanded, with a hope that it will be a warning to him in his future military walks.
The Lieutenant will pay into the hands of the proper officer of the Chatham Regiment, the fine of one hundred and eighty dollars—being the sentence of the court, within one month from the date of this order, and stand arrested until the same is discharged—no resignation will be accepted—and if the same be not paid in one month, the commanding officer of the Chatham Regiment will issue his warrant to levy the same.
This order will be published in one of the Gazettes of this city, for the information of the officers of the first division.
By order of Maj. Gen. JACKSON, CHARLTON, Aid-de-Camp.
After Division Orders, Oct. 25, 1802.
Information being received of the sailing of the vessels from the coast of the United States, which had the Brigands on board, who were said to be intended to be landed within the United States, and the cause of alarm which induced the order of the 11th September, having thereby ceased; the several requisitions contained in that order, or the subsequent order, of the 9th inst. will be considered at an end, and the militia of the first Division, as on its common establishment from this date.
The commanding officers of the respective regiments, and battalions who have had men in service under the said orders, will return their muster and pay rolls properly certified by them to the executive department, as also such contracts and vouchers of supplies as may have been made, and entered into by them respectively for the settlement as soon as possible: sending also, one copy of each to the Major-General, as a check on the officer.
The cruise of the Revenue Cutter of the United States, which Captain Putman, at the request of his Excellency the Governor, and with the consent of the collector of Savannah, offered for the protection of the coast—and of the hired armed Pilot Boat, Pilgrim, captain Webley, taken into the state employ for the same purpose, being finished; the Maj. General, assures those officers of the sense his excellency the commander in chief, entertains of their promptness and vigilance in the service, as well as that of Mr. Allen, mate of the Cutter, who commanded her during the cruise.

The Major General acknowledges with great satisfaction, the readiness with which his orders have been obeyed by the respective commanding officers of the regiments, and battalions on the sea coast, and which has convinced him that had an invasion taken place, the country would have received ample protection, and the invaders have been annihilated or forced again to sea. The General acknowledges the assistance he has received from his aids, Majors Maxwell and Charlton.
By order of Major Gen. JACKSON. CHARLTON, Aid-de-Camp. I approve the foregoing order. J. TATNAL, jun. Governor.
GARNERIN'S DESCENT BY A PARACHUTE.
The perfect novelty of this experiment to Englishmen, the several interruptions which the weather had hitherto offered to its execution, and the fineness of the afternoon yesterday, drew a vast concourse of persons to the West end of the town, and the experiment completely succeeded.
The Balloon, Parachute, and Apparatus, were removed in the morning from the Pantheon to St. George's Parade, North Audley-street, Grosvenor-square, and at half past one o'clock the process of filling commenced from 22 casks placed under the shed adjoining the ground, from which by oiled silk tubes it was conveyed to the Balloon in the centre of the ground, where it was surrounded by a square inclosure of rails, from which a number of rows of benches were placed for the company.
The doors were opened at two o'clock, and the company began to assemble. Before three o'clock, the Balloon was nearly filled, and a part of the pipes were taken off, and the process of working the gas slackened for the remainder of the time. At this period the Car used in the former ascents was attached to the Balloon, and two men sat in it to keep down the Balloon, which was stayed also by three cords from its top, which were fastened to the extremities of the ground. At ten minutes before three, a large cylindrical paper Balloon was let off by rarified air from Park-lane, which continued ten minutes in sight, and ascertained the course of the very little wind that there then blew to be nearly S. W.
The Parachute was made of white canvas, or sail cloth, formed by thirty-two gores into hemispherical form, twenty-three feet diameter, at the top of which was a truck, or round piece of wood, 10 inches diameter, with a hole in its centre, fastened to the canvas by thirty-two short pieces of rope. At about 4 1/2 feet from the top of the canvas, a wooden hoop about eight feet diameter was put on and tied by a string from each seam, so that when the Balloon ascended the Parachute hung like a curtain from this hoop, and appeared cylindrical between the Balloon and the Car, or cylindrical basket, covered with oil'd cloth, about four feet high, and two feet and a quarter diameter, in which M. GARNERIN ascended. About half past four o'clock a spherical Balloon of green oiled silk, about eight feet in diameter, called a pilot Balloon, was brought into the ground, and the gas tubes were detached from the great Balloon, and fastened to this, and by a quarter past five o'clock it being sufficiently filled, M. GARNERIN detached it from the tubes, and conducted it to Mrs. SHERIDAN, who was with Mr. SHERIDAN within the rails, and from her fair hand it was launched, and rose, amidst the acclamations of the spectators, but having no weight attached to it, it rolled very much, and had a flat, or unfilled part in its side. For about four minutes it continued to rise, and proceeded from the ground in a straight line, inclining upwards about 45 degrees, and in a direction very nearly N. E. In eight minutes after its ascent it appeared to reach a contrary current of air, and came back again towards the ground, but in a more southerly direction, still rising, till it became invisible from its smallness. At about half past five o'clock the Car was detached from the netting of the Balloon, and the ends of the strings attached to the small hoop below the Balloon were tied together, and a large rope wove like the patent sash line, was fastened thereto, and its other end passed through the truck of the Parachute, and brought down through it to the cylindrical Car, where it was made fast by a knot, intended to be cut when the descent was to take place; the cylindrical Car was suspended from the lower edge of the Parachute, or bag, by 32 strings. Soon after the Balloon was suffered to rise by slackening the cords, till it was retained by the rope before mentioned; at this time it was so calm that the Balloon wavered about but very little, although suspended at a great height only by this rope, and a small line held to windward; at 47 minutes after five M. GARNERIN got into the Car, amidst great acclamations, and ascended, accompanied by still greater applause. The whole apparatus rose most majestically, and from the great height of the Balloon, Parachute, and Car, had a surprisingly fine effect. M. GARNERIN began immediately to wave
a tri-coloured flag, which he held in his hand, first on the South side and afterwards on the North, and took exactly the course which the pilot balloon had just before done. A few minutes after the Balloon appeared from the place of ascension to be stationary, and seemed to be returning back, as the Pilot Balloon had done, but still rising, when about six o'clock, the Parachute and Car were seen to separate, and in an instant the Parachute took its cylindrical appearance, and formed a segment of a sphere, with the Car suspended below it, and descended very regularly; but by degrees the Car, with M. GARNERIN in it, began to swim like a pendulum, till it vibrated to near 45 degrees on each side the perpendicular, and continued thus to swing till it sunk so as to become invisible from the ground where he ascended.
For some seconds the sensations of the spectators were inexpressibly painful. Every one believed that this intrepid man was about to meet his fate. We can read without emotion of thousands being slaughtered in the field of battle, or swallowed up by an earthquake; but it is impossible for us actually to behold a fellow-creature in danger without being palled by terror, or tortured by anxiety. M. GARNERIN several times appeared almost as high as the Parachute. The rope seemed to lengthen to near forty feet, and he made a complete vibration almost every second. One part of the curve was described so rapidly that the eye could scarcely follow the motion. The effect produced was according to the various characters and constitutions of those who were present. There was a general shriek among the women, and several fainted away; the men seemed fully to participate in their feelings, though few of them exhibited such strong symptoms of emotion; there were many involuntary exclamations and unconscious demonstrations of terror. The general belief was, that some terrible accident had happened; either that M. GARNERIN had dropped from the balloon sooner than he expected, or that he had lost the ballast which should have kept him steady in his descent. The latter opinion was most probably just. At the moment of separation an immense quantity of sand fell, which could be discovered; forming a thin cloud nearly for a quarter of a mile. In the shock produced by the fall of the Car before the Parachute was extended, the sand bags might have been thrown out. With a few pounds more weight M. GARNERIN would certainly have descended in a more perpendicular direction, and would have run less danger. He passed through seven times the space he would have done if he had come down in a right line, and he was three or four times longer in descending. As he approached the earth, the motion became more steady. When he was only 500 feet high, people supposed that he could no longer be in danger. After seeing a man at such a distance from the ground, a leap from the fourth story of a house seemed quite trifling. Still the greatest anxiety prevailed till the news arrived that M. GARNERIN had alighted in safety. Every one believed that he must come down in the next street, and while those in Hyde Park were running into Grosvenor-square, those who had stationed themselves in Grosvenor square were hurrying to Oxford square. There was not such a crowd, collected on any part as formerly in the fields, near Lord Cricket Ground, but it is probable that there were as many altogether who witnessed the experiment. The wind blew according to every one's fancy, and people went to Hyde Park, to the Green Park, to Grosvenor-square, to Portman square, to the fields near Paddington, to the fields near Kensington as it suited their convenience or caprice.
The above description applies chiefly to the appearances as seen from the ground from whence he rose. Those who had taken their station in the Jew's Harp fields, and in a direction thence to St. Pancras, had the best view of the descent. It was over these fields that M. GARNERIN detached the Balloon, after which he passed over Somers Town, about 80 or 100 feet above the houses, but lowering in his passage till carried over St. Pancras, where he lighted. So violent was the shock as to throw him on his face, which was cut a little and bled considerably. He appeared almost exhausted, was agitated a little, and trembled much when relieved from the Parachute.
It is no wonder that public curiosity was again excited. For the first time in this Island a person was to launch himself from the heights of the atmosphere, with no other protection than a bit of canvas, and a few sticks of whalebone. If this could be accomplished, much it not be the triumph of experimental philosophy, and the most splendid victory ever obtained by man over the elements?
The Balloon was no sooner separated from the Parachute, than it rolled over, having now no ballast, and rose rapidly, shaping its course nearly over the ground, and so high as scarcely to be visible, till 18 minutes after six, when it was no longer to be discerned; it is probable that neither this or the Pilot Balloon will fall for many hours, and perhaps at a great distance towards the W. or S. W. M. GARNERIN had on a blue jacket and trowsers, and appeared quite collected and undaunted; he took with him, as usual, a portable barometer, for determining
his height. Madame Garnerin returned to Paris before M. Garnerin went to Bath, and was not present. This is the 31st time of ascending, and his 5th in England, and the first time that any person here descended by a Parachute.
Lord Stanhope was present, and conversed a good deal with M. Garnerin, and Mr. Glasford who before attended with M. Garnerin. Near 1000 persons were present in the ground, and among many others of distinction we noticed Lord Wm. Russell, Lord Camden, Mr. Combe, Mr. Dent, Sir Francis Baudet, Mr. Whitebread, Gen. Leland, and Capt. Vincent. We are happy to announce that not the smallest accident or disturbance happened at the ground, notwithstanding the adjoining houses were covered with some hundreds of spectators. Among a group of well dressed persons on the roof of an adjoining house, two chimney sweeps made their appearance, climbing out of the chimney pots, and some mirth was created by their taking their stand among the company.
When M. Garnerin first alighted, very few persons were near him, but in a few minutes there were not less than a thousand. A person on horseback immediately alighted, and placed M. Garnerin on his horse, as he was very much fatigued and faint. His situation now again became alarming, as the crowd from curiosity pressed so close upon him, that he was in great danger of being thrown to the ground, when several gentlemen on horseback seeing his situation, formed themselves into a body of cavalry, to protect him from the mob. A procession then took place along the new road, attended by an immense crowd, which bore before them the hoop of the Parachute, to denote that Mr. Garnerin was on his way. A gentleman also rode by his side, waving the flag used by the Aeronaut in his ascent. In this manner they proceeded as far as Tottenham-court-road where they met several waggons loaded with timber, which caused some interruption to the procession, and the mob becoming exceedingly troublesome, M. Garnerin's protectors were obliged to quicken their pace to get rid of it, and took their route up Portland Road as far as Duchess-street. Here M. Garnerin was consulted to what part of the town he wished to be conducted to; and having mentioned Baker-street, the cavalcade turned round and proceeded in that direction. At the top of Highstreet, Mary-le-bone, a fracas took place between the mob and the toll collectors at the turnpike, the latter having refused to let M. Garnerin's attendants pass without paying the toll; but the system of equality being strongly urged by the mob with knocking-down arguments, they were at length suffered to pass, and reached Baker-street without further interruption; but Mr. Garnerin not finding his friends at home, took refuge at a house in Blandford-street, where he remained until the mob dispersed, after which he went to Attey's Amphitheatre. We learn from himself, that the libations which to those who saw him appeared so dangerous, were occasioned voluntarily, by pulling alternately the cords one side or the other of his car.
Such of the inhabitants of the City of Washington and George Town as may have an intention of accommodating members of Congress with board, the ensuing Session, will contribute to their own convenience, as well as to that of the gentlemen, by lodging with the subscriber, as soon as convenient, a card, containing their address, and describing the situation of their Houses. It would be well for such as have nothing to mention it.

THOMAS PAINE, TO THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES.
LETTER THE SECOND.
AS the affairs of the country to which I am returned are of more importance to the world, and to me, than of that I have lately left (for it is through the new world the old must be regenerated, it regenerated at all) I shall not take up the time of the reader with account of scenes that have passed in France, many of which are painful to remember and horrid to relate, but come at once to the circumstances in which I find America on my arrival.
Fourteen years and something more have produced a change, at least among a part of the people, and I ask myself what it is? I meet or hear of thousands of my former connections who are men of the same principles and friendships as when I left them. But a non-descript race, and of equivocal generation, assuming the name of Federalist , a name that describes no character of principle good or bad, and may equally be applied to either, has since started up with the rapidity of a mushroom, and like a mushroom is withering on its rootless stalk. Are those men federalised to support the liberties of their country or to overturn them? To add to its fair fame or riot on its spoils? The name contains no defined idea. It is like John Adams's definition of a republic in his letter to Mr. Wythe of Virginia. It is, says he, an empire of laws and not of men. But as laws may be bad as well as good, an empire of laws may be the best of all governments, or the worst of all tyrannies. But John Adams is a man of paradoxical heresies, and consequently of a bewildered mind. He wrote a book entitled " A defence of the American Constitutions ," and the principles of it are an attack upon them. But the book is defended to the tomb of forgetfulness, and the best fortune that can attend its author, is quietly to follow its fate. John was not born for immortality. But to return to federalism .
In the history of parties and the names they assume, it often happens, that they fight by the direct contrary principles with which they profess to begin, and thus it has happened with federalism .
During the time of the old congress, and prior to the establishment of the federal government, the continental belt was too loosely buckled. The several states were united in name, but not in fact, and that nominal union had neither center nor circle. The laws of one state frequently interfered with, and sometimes opposed those of another. Commerce between state and state was without protection, and confidence without a point to rest on. The condition of the country was then in, was aptly described by Pelatiah Webster when he said, " Thirteen staves and no corder a hoop will not make a barrel. "
If then by federalism is to be understood, one who was for cementing the Union by a general government, operating equally over all the states in all matters that embraced the common interest, and to which the authority of the states severally was not adequate, for no one state can make laws to bind another, if I say by a federalist is meant a person of this description, (and this is the origin of the name) I ought to stand first on the list of federalists , for the proposition for establishing a general government over the Union came originally from me in 1783, in a written memorial to Chancellor Livingston then Secretary for foreign affairs to Congress, Robert Morris minister of finance, and his associate Gouverneur Morris, all of whom are now living, and we had a dinner and conference at Robert Morris's on the subject. The occasion was as follows.
Congress had proposed a duty of five per cent on imported articles, the money to be applied as a fund towards paying the interest of loans to be borrowed in Holland. The resolve was sent to the several states to be enacted into a law. Rhode Island absolutely refused. I was at the trouble of a journey to Rhode Island to reason with them on the subject. Some other of the states enacted it with alterations, each one as it pleased. Virginia adopted it, and afterwards repealed it, and the affair came to nothing.
It was then visited, at least to me, that either Congress must frame the laws necessary for the Union, and send them to the several states to be enacted without any alteration, which was itself appear like usurpation on one part, and passive obedience on the other, or some method must be devised to accomplish the same end by constitutional principles, and the proposition I made in the memorial, was, to add a continental legislature to Congress to be elected by the several states. The proposition met the full approbation of the gentlemen to whom it was addressed, and the conversation turned on the manner of bringing it forward. G. Morris, in walking with me after dinner, wished me to throw out the idea in the newspapers. I replied that I did not like to be always the proposer of new things, that it would have too glaring an appearance; and besides, that I did
not think the country was quite wrong enough to be put right. I remember giving the same reason to Doctor Kuhn at Philadelphia, and to Gen. Gates, at whose quarters I spent a day on my return from Rhode Island, and I suppose they will remember it, because the observation seemed to strike them.
But the embarrassments increasing as they necessarily must from the want of a better cemented Union, the state of Virginia proposed holding a commercial convention, and that convention, which was not sufficiently numerous, proposed that another convention, with more extensive and better defined powers, should be held at Philadelphia, May 10, 1787.
When the plan of the federal government formed by this convention was proposed, and submitted to the consideration of the several states, it was strongly objected to in each of them. But the objections were not on federal grounds, but on constitutional points. Many were shocked at the idea of placing, what is called executive power, in the hands of a single individual.—To them it had too much the form and appearance of a military government, or a despotic one. Others objected that the powers given to a President were too great, and that in the hands of an ambitious designing man, it might grow into tyranny as it did in England under Oliver Cromwell, and as it has since done in France. A republican must not only be so in its principles, but in its forms. The executive part of the federal government was made for a man, and those who consented, against their judgment, to place executive power in the hands of a single individual, reposed more on the supposed moderation of the person they had in view than on the wisdom of the measure itself.
Two considerations however overcame all objections. The one was the absolute necessity of a federal government. The other the rational reflection, that as government in America is founded on the representative system, any error in the first essay could be reformed by the same quiet and rational process by which the constitution was first formed; and that, either by the generation then living, or by those who were to succeed. If ever America lose sight of this principle, she will be no longer the land of liberty. The father will become the assassin of the rights of the son, and his descendants be a race of slaves.
As many thousands who were minors are grown up to manhood since the name of federalist began, it became necessary, for their information, to go back and show the origin of the name, which is now no longer what it originally was; but it is the more necessary to do this, in order to bring forward, in the open face of day, the apostasy of those who first called themselves federalists .
To them it served as a cloak for treason, a mask for tyranny. Scarcely were they placed in the seat of power and office, than federalism was to be destroyed, and the representative system of government, the pride and glory of America, and the palladium of her liberties, was to be overthrown and abolished. The next generation was not to be free. The son was to bend his neck beneath the father's foot, and live deprived of his rights, under hereditary controul. Among the men of this apostate description is to be ranked the ex-president, John Adams. It has been the political career of this man to begin with hypocrisy, proceed with arrogance, and finish in contempt. May such be the fate of all such characters.
I have had doubts of John Adams ever since the year 1776. In a conversation with me, at that time, concerning the pamphlet Common Sense , he censored it because it attacked the English form of government. John was for independence, because he expected to be made great by it; but it was not difficult to perceive, for the surliness of his temper makes him an awkward hypocrite, that his head was as full of kings, queens and knaves, as a pack of cards. But John has lost deal.
When a man has a concealed project in his brain that he wants to bring forward, and fears will not succeed, he often begins with it as physicians do by suspected poison, try it first on an animal; if it agree with the stomach of the animal, he makes further experiments, and this was the way John took. His brain was teeming with projects to overturn the liberties of America, and the representative system of government, and he began by hinting it in little companies. The secretary of John Jay, an excellent painter and a poor politician, told me in presence of another American, Daniel Parker, that in a company where himself was present, John Adams talked of making the government hereditary, and that as Mr. Washington had no children, it should be made hereditary in the family of Lund Washington. John had not impudence enough to propose himself in the first instance, as the old French, Normandy Baron did, who offered to come over to be king of America, and if Congress did not accept his offer, that they would give thirty thousand pounds for the generosity of it; but John, like a mole, was groping his way to it under ground. He knew that Lund Washington was unknown, for nobody had heard of him, and that as the President had no children to succeed him, the vice-presi-

dent had, and if the treason had succeeded, and the time with it, the goldsmith might be sent for to take measure of the head of John or his son Q. for a golden wig. In this case the good people of Bolton might have had for a king the man they have rejected as a delegate. The representative system is fatal to ambition.
Knowing, as I do, the consummate vanity of John Adams, and the shallowness of his judgement, I can easily picture to myself, that when he arrived at the Federal City, he was strutting in the pomp of his imagination before the presidential house, or in the audience hall, and exulting in the language of Nebuchadnezzar, "Is not this great Babylon that I have built for the honor of my majesty!" But in that unfortunate hour, or soon after, John, like Nebuchadnezzar, was driven from among men and fled with the speed of a post horse.
Some of John Adams' loyal subjects, I see, have been to present him an address on his birth day; but the language they use is too tame for the occasion. Birth-day addresses, like birth-day odes, should not creep along like drops of dew down a cabbage leaf, but roll in a torrent of poetical metaphor. I will give them a specimen for the next year. Here it is.
When an ant, in travelling over the Globe, lift up its foot and put it again on the ground, it shakes the Earth to its Center: But when YOU the mighty Ant of the East was born, &c. &c. &c. and the center jumped upon the surface.
This, gentlemen, is the proper style of address from well bred ants to the monarch of the ant-hill, and as I never take pay for preaching, praying, politics or poetry, I make you a present of it. Some people talk of impeaching John Adams, but I am for other measures. I would keep him to make fun of. He will then answer one of the ends for which he was born, and he ought to be thankful I am arrived to take his part. I voted in earnest to save the life of one unfortunate king, and I now vote in jest to save another. It is my fate to be always playing with fools. But to return to federalism and apocrypha.
The plan of the leaders of the fashion was to overthrow the liberties of the new world, and place government on the corrupt system of the old. They wanted to hold their power by a more lasting tenure than the choice of their constituents. It is impossible to account for their conduct and the measures they adopted on any other grounds. But to accomplish that object a standing army and a prodigious revenue must be raised; and to obtain these, pretences must be invented to deceive. Alarms of dangers that did not exist even in imagination, but in the direct spirit of lying, were spread abroad. Apostasy stalked through the land in the garb of patriotism, and the torch of treason blinded for a while the flame of liberty.
For what purpose could an army of twenty-five thousand men be wanted? A single reflection might have taught the most credulous, that while the war raged between France and England neither could spare a man to invade America. For what purpose then could it be wanted? The case carries its own explanation, it was wanted for the purpose of destroying the representative system, for it could be employed for no other. Are these men federalists? If they are, they are federalized to deceive and destroy.
The rage against Dr. Logan's patriotic and voluntary mission to France was excited by the slurs they felt at the detection of the false alarms they had circulated.
As to the opposition given by the remnant of the fashion to the repeal of the taxes laid on during the former administration, it is easily accounted for. The repeal of those taxes was a sentence of condemnation on those who laid them on, and in the opposition they gave to that repeal, they are to be considered in the light of criminals standing on their defence, and the country has passed judgment upon them.

BY AUTHORITY.
Extract from a letter of the Consul of the United States at Lisbon, dated Aug. 22, 1802, to the Secretary of State.
"On the 18th instant an order was received at the Custom House from the Minister of the Interior, to prohibit altogether the importation of Cardage for home consumption."
Extracts from the same to the same, dated 6th Sept. 1802.
"On Saturday the 4th inst. the enclosed order was issued by the Inspector General of the Corn market. Not being perfectly satisfied as to the meaning of that part relating to the consumption, I sent to request an explanation. I received for answer that the consumption as well as the importation of all foreign flour after the 4th January next was forbidden, and what was then on hand must be exported."
"The vessel by which this goes failing immediately, allows me only time to inform you that not being perfectly satisfied with the explanation sent me by the administrator of the Corn market, I sent up again to the Judge, who entirely differed in opinion from the former, the latter conceiving it was intended only to prohibit the importation, but the former still insists that the importation and consumption were both intended—I cannot get a final determination till to-morrow."
Translation of the order referred to in the last letter.
"In observance of the Royal orders of the Prince Regent, our Lord, lately expedited to the Corn market, for the purpose of prohibiting the introduction into this Kingdom of flour fabricated in foreign Countries, in consequence of the causes having ceased which made the admission necessary during the time it had free entry into the Corn market, for consumption in this City and other places in this Kingdom—And to the end that the Royal determination should be duly observed, and that all persons interested in this branch of business should have a full knowledge of the same, that they may govern themselves accordingly; I have ordered the present to be pasted with the declarations in conformity to the same Royal orders, that the space of four months is allowed for the consumption of the flour existing, as well as for what may arrive, counting from the date hereof. And this shall be fixed up in the customary places. Corn market the 4th September, 1802."

By letters received from our Consul at Liverpool, we have the pleasure of stating that on the 25th of September the Harveut in England was nearly closed, and as the weather for gathering it had been very fine, there remained no doubt of its being excellent in quality, as well as very abundant.
It is further stated that the agricultural prospects of Europe in general are very promising.
Extract of a letter from Annapolis, Nov. 17, 1802.
"Agreeably to the order of the day a joint ballot of both houses of the Legislature has just been taken for a Senator to represent the state of Maryland in the Senate of the United States after the 3d of March next, when there appeared 46 votes for Gen. SAMUEL SMITH, and 30 for Gen. HOWARD."
"The Senate gave 11 votes and the House of Delegates 65, making in the whole 76 votes."
On this event we have again to congratulate our republican friends. It is but a short time since Maryland had two federal representatives in the Senate, which she has now exchanged for two republicans.
The Legislature of Georgia have elected, by a large majority, JOHN MILLEDGE, Governor of that state. We need scarcely add that Mr. Milledge's politics have been uniformly republican. The unfounded reproaches of federalism have only served to render his integrity the brighter.
MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION.
In Barnstable district, 13 towns out of 17, give Mr. Williams, federal; 481 votes, and Mr. Green, republican, 424 votes. In York district, 18 towns out of 25, give Mr. Catts, republican, 737 votes, and Mr. Lord, federal, 367 votes. Peleg Wadsworth, federal, is probably elected for Lincoln district. In Kennebec district, 10 towns out of 53, give Mr. Bruce, federal, 250 votes, and Mr. Kingsley, republican, 214 votes.
BRISTOL DISTRICT.
The returns of this district are now complete. Laban Wheaton, federal, and
Samuel Bishop, republican candidate. The votes stand thus:
Bishop, 1266 Wheaton, 935 331
Governor Wentworth has authorized the continuance of the intercourse between Nova-Scotia and the United States until the 30th of April next.
Extract of a letter from a very respectable house at Malaga, dated September 28, 1802.
"Our crops of fruit this season have been very backward, the damp weather and constant easterly wind during the time they were curing, destroyed a good part of the early fruit—considerable orders from all parts have contributed to the establishment of high prices—far higher than could have been expected—and a late storm of rain has destroyed the remaining dry fruit that was still lying on the ground; it is calculated that 1-3d of the crop will be lost by this unfortunate accident which will not only maintain the prices of fruit, but cause them to advance."
Another letter from Grivegne & co. of Malaga, to Mr. Bridge, Esq. mentions, that raisins had risen there to 7 1-2 Spanish dollars per quarter barrel.
New-York, Nov. 22.
It is supposed that there are at present in Great Britain, upwards of 150,000 persons employed in the lead, iron, copper, tin and coal mines. These poor wretches scarcely ever see the light of the sun; they are buried in the bowels of the earth—there they work at a severe and dismal task, without the least prospect of being delivered from it—they subsist on the coarsest and worst sort of fare—their health is impaired, and their lives shortened, by being perpetually confined in the close vapor of these malignant materials. An hundred thousand more at least, are tortured, without remission, by the suffocating smokes, intense fires, and constant drudgery, necessary in refining and managing the products of these mines. This is one small part of the picture of a manufacturing country. How incomparably happy is the condition of an American farmer—and how little cause has he to envy the fate of a foreign mechanic!
From a late London Paper
We some time ago stated that the Congregation of the Grand Synagogue of the German Jews in London, had held a meeting for the purpose of re-establishing, after a vacancy of ten years, a high priest of their nation. The election, we understand, has since taken place, and the choice fell on the Rev. Dr. Solomon Hart, a son of a former high priest, who left London about 42 years ago being much scandalized on account of the immorality and licentiousness which then prevailed in the congregation. The present high priest is a native of England, but went with his father to the continent, where he afterwards settled. As his arrival had been publicly announced among the Jews, Messrs. E. J. Keyser and M. Nathan, two of their elders, set off on Thursday morning for Harwich to receive him. On Friday morning he arrived in the Princess Royal Packet from Helvoetsluis, and the same day proceeded to Colchester, where he staid till Sunday morning. When he reached Rumsford he was met by some of the elders of the Synagogue, and Mr. A. Goldsmith kindly conducted him to his coach, which was drawn by four horses. The venerable chief of the Synagogue seemed much affected by the favourable reception he experienced, and entered the carriage along with Mr. A. Goldsmith and Mr. J. Lazarus. The cavalcade then proceeded to town accompanied by Mr. E. P. Solomons, in his post coach, Messrs. George and Michael Isaacs, Samuel Joseph, I. Philips, J. Jonas, all the Rabbis, &c. &c. in post chaises and other vehicles, and arrived at half past four in Mansel-street, at the house of Mr. Byng, the respectable Secretary to the Synagogue. About five Mrs. Hart, and three of her children arrived at the same place; and in the evening there was a meeting of most of the principal Israelites in town to congratulate their new high priest. It was however remarked, with some kind of surprize, that some of those who, during the late disputes respecting the propriety of electing a high priest, had been most strenuous advocates for the measure, were not seen in the procession. The rarity of this spectacle drew together, as may be readily supposed, an immense concourse of spectators. The people in every place through which the procession passed, flocked together from all quarters, and when it reached town an immense crowd followed it, and remained for some time in the street where it halted. As the new high priest is a man of unblemished character, and a zealous promoter of good morals, the respectable part of the Jews in London flatter themselves with the hope that his example and influence will have a powerful effect in suppressing that spirit of vice and immorality which crept in among the Jews, and which often exposes these indolent, though degraded and unfortunate people, to hatred and contempt.
FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
Remarks on Mr. Adams's Reply to the Address of certain Citizens of Quincy.
Many of the leading measures of the Adams administration have already received national condemnation; but it was reserved for the unfortunate pen of Mr. Adams himself to give them their mortal blow. In the justification he has attempted, he has confirmed every imputation of error and weakness that has been ascribed to them, offering no other reparation than the integrity of his motives.
"Some of the measures" says he, "were the effect of imperious necessity, much against my inclination." By what was this imperious necessity created? By the imprudence of the measures of Mr. Adams, and his then friends. But for those measures, he would not have found himself in a situation that required the adoption of other measures against his inclination, nor would he have been driven to the humiliating necessity of making so degrading an apology; an apology, which, proceeding from a citizen, once the chief magistrate of the nation, must tend to degrade in the view of foreign powers our national character.
"Others," says he, "were the measures of the legislature which, although approved when passed, were never previously proposed or recommended by me."
Whether those measures, which undermined liberty by the passage of unconstitutional laws, which oppressed property and industry by the imposition of enormous taxes, which hazarded the peace of the country by irritating reproaches cast upon foreign nations, and which seemed intent on war, were the measures of Mr. Adams, or of those who governed him, is totally immaterial. The fact may deeply involve the personal character of Mr. Adams, but cannot, in the least, affect the justice or expediency of the measures themselves. It is sufficient that they came from men with whom he acted, who shared his confidence, and who either controlled him, or were controlled by him. In either case, the administration, taken in the aggregate, who advised, adopted and executed them are, in every correct political view, reprehensible for them, and responsible to the people for their effects. It was right, then, in the people, to look as soon as they discovered the errors of their rulers, to displace them, and we thank Mr. Adams, whatever may be the feelings of his quondam friends, for this candid confirmation of public opinion.
"Some of them," he proceeds, "left to my discretion, were never executed, because no necessity for them, in my judgment, ever occurred."
Can language more unequivocally condemn some of the measures of the last administration? If no necessity for them ever occurred, even in the judgement of Mr. Adams, how came it that he approved, though he might not have proposed or recommended them? Does not this show that the Chief Magistrate, with all his boasted independence, notwithstanding his Spartan spirit, was in subjection to those around him, and that he was only the pageant of state, while others held the "rod of empire"? And if such was the fact, was not the removal of such an officer, and such an administration an act called for by the abuse of power by both?
So far as the measures of the Adams administration: If such are the avowed sentiments of Mr. Adams, what are probably his secret opinions respecting them. Disposed, like other men, to conceal his own frailties, and the political transgressions of his friends, we are justified in considering the censure he has cast upon them as the mildest his conscience could suffer him to express. Had he opened his heart, it is probable that the measure of reprobation would have been tenfold.
He next speaks of himself—"Let me add one observation more. Under the continual provocations, breaking and pouring in upon me from unexpected as well as expected quarters, during the last two years of my administration, he must have been more of a modern epicurean philosopher than I ever was, or ever will be, to have borne them all without some incautious expressions at times of an unutterable indignation. I have no other apology to make to individuals or the public."
He, who is sensible of his faults, and has the candour to acknowledge them, is sometimes entitled to our forgiveness; and always to our consideration. This rule invariably holds true in private life; but is not equally applicable to those in public station. In the first case the sphere of influence is limited, and the private citizen can do but little injury, however his actions may deviate from correct principles. But the effect is altogether different in the case of those who fill public stations, and particularly of those who occupy the highest stations. The political vices of these men, and even their errors of opinion, however pure the motives from which they flow, may lead, as they often have led, to the subversion of empires, to the destruction of liberty. The duties, which we owe to our country,
are of all duties the greatest; because the observance of them depends not only on our own happiness, but that of millions. We cannot, therefore, we ought not to forgive political vices that might have ruined our country. For if we forgive, it is to be feared that we shall soon forget them. No. Let them be held in everlasting remembrance as a beacon to guard us in future times from dangerous confidences, with the same view that we cherish the remembrance of illustrious acts of duty, as to many models and incitements to the imitation of others. But though we ought not to forgive, we may commiserate the frailties of him who commits these vices. This is sincerely believed to be the case respecting the subject of these remarks. There is not a citizen of America that does not regret and pity the spectacle of political degeneracy exhibited by him.
Still will it be mortifying to those who prize national character, to derive from the Chief Magistrate himself a confirmation of the bitterest reproaches of his opponents, when they charged him with ebullitions of passion and gulls of resentment undignified and unworthy of the high office he held, calculated to lessen him in the public opinion, and to degrade the government of the country. Again we are forced to put the question, was such a man fit to be President of the United States? Could he ever inspire respect in a nation, who had not sufficient self-respect to preserve himself from "incautious expressions of unutterable indignation."
To conclude, the republicans will thank Mr. Adams for his full condemnation of federal measures, and entire justification of the republican corrective applied; while, the federalists, whatever friendship they may profess, will, in their hearts, denounce the man who, in the depth of their misfortunes, treats them with such harsh consolation.
