LEBOO
WILL cover the ensuing season, to commence the first day of April, and end on the last day of June, on Mondays and Tuesdays at Queen Anne's; Wednesdays and Thursdays at the farm of the subscriber, and Fridays and Saturdays at Bladensburg; at the rate of 16 dollars per Mare, cash, and half a dollar to the groom; the money to the groom to be sent with the mare, and a note for the balance, with the assumption of Messrs. Clagett or Hodges, of Queen Anne, or Messrs. Lowndes or Bruer, of Bladensburg, payable on the first day of December next, will be received.
Leboo is eight years old, a fine bright bay, 15 hands three inches high, a star and two white feet. He has proven himself both a sure and good foal-getter, having covered at four years old 25 mares, all of whom proved with foal; the costs are equal in size and beauty to any in this part of the country, and except in two instances, they were a like as to colour. At four years old Leboo won the colt's purse at Annapolis; on the next day he won the City purse, and on the third day he won a purse in Prince George's county, immediately after having travelled upwards of 30 miles. The next spring, at 5 years old, he won the first day's purse at Camden; the fall after he ran against Mr. Taylor's Leviathan at Alexandria, one heat, was lame and drew; a few days after he won the first day's purse at Governor's town. At 6 years old he won the first day's purse at Camden; the fall after he won the purse again at Camden, the jockey club purse at Governor's town, the purses at Frederick town, and the city of Washington; running nine miles, by mileate, at the last mentioned place, beating Mr. Taylor's Leviathan. At seven years old he received a forfeit of 900 dollars at Havre-de-Grace, proceeded on to German town, won the first heat, afterwards fell lame, and was beat by Gen. Ridgely's Mameluck, whom he had beaten three times before.
Leboo was got by High Flyer, his blood and figure equal to that of any other horse, and his pedigree may be seen by applying to the subscriber.

Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FEBRUARY 22, 1803.
DEBATE on the OHIO BILL.
Mr. Gregg said that when the resolutions on which this bill is predicated were before the House, he had very briefly stated some objections which he had against adopting them. A gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Randolph) had offered some arguments to obviate his objections, but they had not produced that effect in his mind: on the contrary, by reflecting on the subject since that time, he was now more fully convinced, that the opinion which he then expressed was correct.
At this late period of the session he had no wish to bring on a lengthy discussion, nor had he any expectation that by any thing he could say, he would be able to prevent the passage of the bill. The strong disposition which the House had discovered in its favor, and the unprecedented rapidity with which it had been hurried on the preceding day, left him no room to hope, that any efforts of his could check its progress. He would however remark, that it was very unusual for a bill of such importance to be acted on the same day on which it was printed and laid on our table, and of course before members could have read it over, and made themselves acquainted with its provisions. It would be vain for him to propose amendments, because the bill was not susceptible of such amendments as would induce him to vote for it. He thought it wrong in principle, and he did not believe it would be found expedient in its effects.
He had been always accustomed to consider the lands of the United States a common property, in which every citizen of the government was equally interested, and to which they all had an equal right. These lands were generally considered as a fund out of which the public debt contracted during the revolutionary war, was to be discharged. The cession of the land made by the states which claimed them, was for the common benefit, and as such they had always been considered. He had before him the act of cession made by the state of Virginia of the very land in Question, the preamble of which he would beg leave to read, and to the particular expression of which he hoped gentlemen would attend.
"Whereas the Congress of the United States did, by their act of the sixth day of September 1780, recommend to the several States in the Union, having claims to waste and unappropriated lands in the Western country, a liberal cession to the United States of a portion of their respective claims, for the common benefit of the Union."
"And whereas this Commonwealth did on the second day of January 1781, yield to the Congress of the United States, for the benefit of the said States, all right, title, and claim which the said Commonwealth had to the Territory North-West of the River Ohio &c."
Let us attend to the expressions here used. Congress asks the land for the common benefit of the Union: Virginia reiterates the sentiment and says she yields it for the benefit of the said States.
Farther, the Indian title to these lands has been extinguished by money taken out of the Treasury of the United States. Every person in the Country has contributed his proportion of tax to effect that object. The citizens of Maine, or any other District, are therefore in this respect also, equally entitled with those of Ohio, to all the benefit resulting from the sale of those lands. With what face of justice can we then put our
hands into this common fund, or lay hold of any portion of these lands, and apply them to the use and benefit of the people in one part of the country, to the entire exclusion of all the rest, as is contemplated by this bill. What authority have we to give the people of Ohio, and equal to a thirty sixth part of their whole state, or to expend on the improvement of their roads, three per cent of all the money arising from the sale of public lands in that country? It appeared to him an assumption of power which did not of right belong to them. It was an act of usurpation which he had not been able to discover any principle whatever to warrant or justify.
The conditions expressed in the act passed at the last session of Congress, authorizing the people of the North Western Territory to frame a Constitution and state Government themselves, he thought very exceptional. The terms prescribed in this bill in his view were much more so. The manner in which they were brought forward rendered them so. They were dictated by a small portion of people who had assumed the power of imposing terms on the government, and of telling it how the public property must be disposed of. If government has not the power of managing its property its own way, if it must thus submit to such terms as any particular portion of people may from time to time see proper to prescribe, what is it? Nothing, but an empty name. The exemption of the public lands from taxes for five years that was spoken of as an equivalent he considered as nothing, or at least as very inadequate. Upon the whole altho' he had no prospect of preventing the passage of the bill he thought himself in duty bound to protest against the principles and provisions which it contained.
Mr. Randolph was happy to hear the sentiments expressed by the gentleman from Pennsylvania. He concurred with him completely in his premises, although he differed from him, in some degree, in his conclusions. It is true that the grant of land made by Virginia was for the common benefit of the whole Union. It was considered when made, and is still considered as a common fund for purposes in which the general benefit is concerned. It was with that view that as a member of the committee, which bought in the bill, he was favorable to it. But before he proceeded to consider its merits, he must be indulged with a few words on its progress to a passage. The bill had been reported on Friday, and then ordered to be printed; the original draft had been mislaid, a new copy had been required for the press, and it had consequently not been laid on their tables till yesterday; though any member, anxious to have procured a copy, might have obtained it on Saturday. The Gentleman informs us that it passed to a third reading on the same day (Monday) True: because no gentleman protested against it. Did the gentleman expect that the friends of the bill would have risen and objected to it. They, on the contrary, inferred that as no objection was offered, none existed. And why did they draw this inference that there was no objection? Because the report, on which every syllable in the bill is predicated, passed with but one dissentient voice, that of the member from Pennsylvania.
Now let us examine the merits of the bill. According to the doctrine of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, the broad principle he has assumed would viciate the original principle of the appropriation for schools under the ordinance. Mr. R. believed that the appropriation while it protected the interests of literature would enhance the value of property. Can we suppose that emigration will not be promoted by it, and that the value of lands will not be enhanced by the emigrant obtaining the fullest education for
his children; and is it not better to receive two dollars an acre with an appropriation for schools, than 75 cents an acre without such appropriation? Indubitably it is. The same reasoning will hold good for giving the people of Ohio the salt springs and for appropriating a portion of the proceeds of the lands to laying out roads as an equivalent for an exemption of the lands of the United States from taxation. Gentlemen who are not operated upon by this principle and a desire to establish a liberal provision for schools, will vote against the bill. The reasons were entirely satisfactory to the committee.
Mr. Randolph said he was at a loss to reconcile the practice of gentlemen with their theory. When a proposition was made in Philadelphia to accept the jurisdiction in Connecticut, which though pompously called an act (Mr. R. here quoted the title,) was in fact a cession of soil, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gregg) voted in the affirmative, while I, said Mr. R. was in the negative. I am at a loss to reconcile his vote then with his present arguments. The gentleman who thinks all the lands of the United States a general fund for public purposes, was for giving up three millions of acres, to the value of six millions of dollars, without receiving any valuable consideration;—and now he is averse to an appropriation, which gives up nothing, but which will necessarily enhance the value of public property. By the law passed the last session, we made certain propositions to the state of Ohio, subject to the right of that state to accept or reject them. These propositions that state has agreed to with certain modifications. To make them binding on Ohio, it is necessary for us to accept them in toto as modified. If there is but a partial acceptance, that state is not bound to exempt the public land from taxation. But if they are agreed to in toto, the compact is final and binding. I have only to add that this is a desirable object, as the exemption will be more than an equivalent for that which is surrendered on our part, and to observe that however plain and easy it may be to settle abstract principles, in cases where states are litigants, there must be some intermediate umpire.
Mr. Gregg wished to say one word in reply to the gentleman from Virginia who had just sat down. The gentleman had charged him with inconsistency, because he opposed the present bill, altho' he had voted for the act assuming the jurisdiction of the Connecticut reserve. The cases were by no means analogous. Connecticut had a claim. She herself at least considered it such, and in virtue thereof had issued grants, and taken possession of the land. In the present instance there is no claim. None is pretended. It is an absolute grant of a common property to the exclusive benefit of a few. Such grants he should always consider it his duty to oppose.
After a few words from Mr. Bacon in favor of the bill, it passed—Ayes 62.

ADDRESS
To the ELECTORS of ONEIDA COUNTY.
Friends and Fellow-Citizens!
You are once more called forth, to exercise the duties which the preservation of your liberty, and the service of your country demand from you. The glory and happiness of our republic must stand or fall, by the watchfulness or negligence of its citizens, in the dîch age of this most important and sacred duty the CHOICE OF OUR LEGISLATORS.
Impressed with this solemn idea, & but too sensible of the absurdity with which the heads of the federal party labour to pervert your better judgment, and misrepresent the motives and actions of the republicans; we beg leave to lay before you the reasons which constrained us to oppose their measures, and for the justice of those reasons, we appeal to every man who is not governed by interest, influence or prejudice. We intreat your candour and deliberate consideration. We will not misstate facts; and we only desire that you attend to your own interest and happiness.
Look round my fellow citizens; observe the sudden change in the minds of our countrymen; ask the large majority in this state and in the Union, why they did not continue their confidence to the late administration, and why they applaud and support the present? Millions, with one voice, will answer to your demand, and this will be the substance of their reply:—Whe should have continued our support to the late administration, had they continued to us the blessings, for which our fathers and ourselves, laboured through a seven years war, and which were bought with the dearest blood of America; But when we saw their rapid strides to arbitrary sway—the introduction of standing armies, the increase of the national debt—the strong predilection to imitate the corrupt and expensive courts of Europe, and feelingly experienced that with our own money, we were gratifying their avarice and ambition, and entailing upon ourselves and posterity, a load of taxes, with the certainty of eventual slavery, and unnecessary wars, we rose indignant, rescued our country from the invaders of her rights, and filled their seats with men who merited our confidence and support. To these men we will continue that support, whilst they persevere in the cause of their country. Have they not taken from our shoulders, a load of grievous taxes? Have they not abolished numerous, expensive and unnecessary offices? Have they not in two years reduced our national debt upwards of seven millions of dollars, without the aid of internal taxation; and do not our pockets feel a sensible relief from the demands of revenue collectors?—We think these reasons sufficiently strong to convince any honest man, who values the interest and peace of his own family and of the great family of the United States.
To the citizens of Oneida, we appeal for the truth of these facts; they know the certainty of their accomplishment; and who will deny a single assertion! None but those who have been disappointed in their hopes of personal interest—those who are under the immediate influence of such characters, and dare not act in opposition, or those who place such implicit confidence in the federal chieftains, that they deem it unnecessary to think themselves, and imbibe, from prejudice, sentiments, which a little candid reflection would utterly discard. We are very sensible, fellow citizens, that many of the federal party are honest upright men; many of them have fought for liberty, and would again hazard their lives in the sacred cause. Two reasons may be produced, to account for their adherence to the present federal party, which though equally false, have been assiduously propagated by the leaders of that party, and many have believed.

The first, that the republicans are enemies to religion. This Idea has been industriously circulated by the political enemies of our country. Religion and virtue were never more conspicuous than at the present day; and we hope the assertions of designing men (who possess neither the one nor the other) will not prevail over the dictates of charity and common sense. The second (which is most calculated upon by the same federal chieftains) that the present administration have acted in contradiction to the principles of government recommended by the venerable Washington. We would ask the real friends of Washington two questions: When did that great and good man oppose economy and frugality in the government, or wish to continue unnecessary taxation upon the industrious citizen? When did he advocate unnecessary wars, and endeavor to plunge his country into the vortex of blood, and expenditure of public money, upon slight grounds, and without attempting to gain redress by pacific means? The man who answers either of these questions in the affirmative is an enemy to his country, and a gross libeller of the departed hero. Yet these are the crimes of the republican administration. The people are relieved from taxation, and not compelled to hazard their lives and fortunes in the prosecution of a war, contrary to the law of nations, and destructive to domestic peace, industry and commerce. If these be crimes, the republicans are guilty: But if they are meritorious, then are they the friends of their country, and the real friends of Washington. Why do the federal leaders continually make use of that honored name, yet act in contradiction to the advice which he gave to his country in his farewell address; it is dishonorable to his memory, thus to link his beloved name to the brief of delinquents, and to claim as a friend the man who abhorred the measures, which these pretended friends advocate with such violence. Are not these federal champions the disciples of Adams? Were they not the supporters of his measures, and the props of his taxation bulwark? Are not they the men who would have loaded you with exactions, and opposed the sedition law to your complaints? Why do they blaspheme the name of Washington, whilst the name of their idol, the name of JOHN ADAMS, is cautiously avoided. The republicans revere and follow Washington; but the administration of Adams, they fervently hope will never be renewed. Can you then wonder, fellow citizens, why we are attached to the present administration, and support the election of republican candidates, men whose integrity and attachment to the interest of the people, are incontrovertible; whose principles are founded upon true republicanism, and who will add their weight to the strong majority of the friends to peace and economy. We will hope that our candidates will meet with a steady support from all honest and impartial men; and that the county of Oneida, will be represented in the next legislature, by members who can unite with the government, for the public good, and receive reciprocal support from the majority, when the local interest of this country shall require their exertions.
ON LONGEVITY.
This subject has of late attracted much attention, in consequence of an essay which Mr. John Sinclair has published regarding it, with the importance of which the French government is deeply impressed, as not only to circulate it all over France, but also to transmit it to the other governments in Europe, recommending it to their attention.
A short analysis of this paper may be acceptable to our readers.
The author begins with remarking, that the means of preserving health, and of attaining great age, are subjects which seem to be well entitled to the peculiar attention of every thinking man. In regard to the former, there is no question. The pleasure that arises from the possession of health, and the distress which sickness occasions, are perpetual mementos that health cannot be neglected. But as to the latter, the propriety of aspiring to long life has been doubted; and, it is said, that after a person has lived for 50 or 60 years, and has fulfilled his duties as a man, that he had better retire to make way for others, and that the sooner he quits these earthly scenes the better.
Such sentiments, however, ought not to be indulged. If persons lived only for themselves, and for the gratification of their own passions, and to promote their own interests alone, this might be the case. But if we live, as we ought to do, to promote the happiness of others, as well as of our own, and if, by living long, we can be of more service from the knowledge which greater experience and longer observation must necessarily furnish; the result is that we ought to live as long as we have health and strength to perform good actions to others, and that the power of doing good ought to be the proper limit by which our wishes for existence ought to be bounded."
Sir John Sinclair then proceeds to state the circumstances which tend to promote longevity, as—1. Climate—2. Form of the individual—3. Parentage—4. Natural disposition—5. Situation in life—6. Professions—7. Exercise or labour—8. Connubial connections—9. Sex—10. Renewal of age; making some general observations under each head.
He next gives a short detail of the rules tending to promote long life, classified as follows:—1. Food. 2. Clothing. 3. Habitation. 4. Labour or exercise. 5. Habits or customs. 6. Medicine. 7. Disposition of mind.
In the third place, he briefly treats of those countries the most remarkable for longevity, and on the whole gives the preference to mountainous districts. He concludes with some tables of longevity, and the duration of human life, remarking, at the end of the essay, "that it is more than probable, by proper attention and good management, persons in general might not only live longer, but might enjoy life with more relish than is commonly the case at present; and it is to be hoped, in respect of this, as well as of many other particulars, that human nature is still in the threshold of acquisition, that it will yet obtain greater and more important acquisitions of knowledge, and may reach further improvements, both with regard to the extent of personal and mental gratifications, which our species may be found capable of enjoying, and also the means of possessing them with more satisfaction and comfort, and for a much longer period of time."
The great object of this essay seems to have been, to lay a basis for the purpose of obtaining additional facts and observations, which are essential for elucidating so important an enquiry, and, with that view, the author requests that the following questions may be answered with as much minuteness and accuracy as circumstances will admit of:
1. What is the effect of the climate in which you reside, on the health and longevity of the human race? 2. What form is reckoned most conducive to health and longevity? 3. Is it found that being descended from young and from healthy parents is essential for good health, and old age? 4. Is it found that health and old age depend much on the disposition or temper of the individual? 5. Is there any perceptible difference in consequence of situation in life? 6. What professions are reckoned favorable to longevity, or otherwise? 7. Is exercise, or moderate labour, found necessary for preserving health and long life? 8. Have the long lived, in general, been in the married state? 9. Have the greatest proportions of the long lived consisted of males or females? 10. Have there been any instances of persons renewing their age, getting new teeth, new hair, &c.? 11. What are the other circumstances tending to promote long life? 12. What is the effect of diet on health and longevity? 13. What are the effects of clothing? 14. What the effect of habitation, and the difference of living in a town or in the country? 15. What are the effects of habit, and customs, in regard to early rising, bathing, regular meals, regular sleep, and, in particular, what are those minute circumstances on which it is supposed that health and longevity principally depend? 16. What are the rules regarding medicine, which are accounted the most useful and salutary? 17. What are the most remarkable instances of longevity, and how are they authenticated? 18. What are the rules adopted by those who have attained great age? 19. Have any tables of longevity been drawn up in your neighbourhood, and how do they agree with the one extracted from Hasiland? 20. Do any additional observations or particulars occur to you on the subject of health or longevity?
What a new era in the history of mankind, to see the Governments of Europe interesting themselves in such inquiries, instead of the more common pursuits of pleasure and ambition.

An Estimate of the Motives of those who are clamorous for War.
No. IV.
To decide upon the motives which actuate the conduct of men, it is necessary to observe that conduct at different times and under various aspects. Every man is honest, when it is his interest to be so; but it is the season of adversity that tries his virtue; and the truly upright character is he who acts in the same consistent manner in all times.
If the federalists, lately so intent upon war as the only instrument calculated to sustain the character of the nation and secure its interests, have heretofore in like circumstances held the same language, their conduct, exhibiting an evidence of consistency, entitles it to that respect which this eminent good quality is sure to command; while, if, on the contrary their present declarations are in open hostility with those hitherto avowed, strong proof arises that their motives are selfish or dishonest, and that, while they profess a love of country, they feel only a love of themselves.
The nation has not for a long time been in a state of affairs which preceded and followed the ratification of the British treaty. The treaty of peace had stipulated certain reciprocal duties between Britain and America. Among those was the surrender on the part of the former of a number of armed posts on the frontier, which so long as they remained in the hands of a foreign power subjected our frontier inhabitants to the merciless ravages and murders of the Indians. In consequence of this state of things, an almost uninterrupted warfare was kept up with the savages; and notwithstanding the expenditure of great sums, extensive injury was done by preventing the settlement of our western lands, the proceeds of which were pledged for the payment of our revolutionary debt, and irreparable mischief by the murder of unprotected families. Nor was evidence wanting that the British co-operated in these criminal acts.
This was abundant cause for national sensibility. Portions of our territory were not only withheld; but an armed force retained them.
In addition to this evidence of hostility, other proofs of a more alarming nature were soon exhibited. Our commerce, which the renovated resources of our husbandmen, and the invigorated enterprise of our merchants had extended to every quarter of the globe, was perilously struck at by Britain, who, conscious of the unprecedented enormity of the act, concealed the grounds of it. Thus with fortified posts on our west, and hordes of savages ready to enlist in the pay of Britain whenever she was prepared to inflict the deepest injury, and with hostile fleets on the Atlantic, seizing the property of our merchants and condemning it without even a flow of justice, ruin stared us in the face, unless this career of hostility was checked.
Such was the dark state of things at that day, that not a man in America hesitated respecting the necessity of vigorous measures. The evils we actually suffered, scarcely admitted of increase. We had an enemy in the interior and an external enemy at the same moment and in the same nation.
Two courses were suggested—One to sequestre British property, holding it as an hostage against the injustice of Britain, and a prohibition of all commercial intercourse with her dependencies. This was the course recommended by the then opposition. It was no sooner proposed than it received the loudest denunciation of the federalists and the administration. Though it was neither war, nor led to war, but was in truth admirably calculated to avert it, still it was held up as a war measure; and every argument was urged against it that an avowed attempt to produce war would have justified.
Though the injury we then endured was incalculably greater than that lately produced by the impounded rights of deposit, yet the federalists of that day knew different from the federalists of this day! They raised their voices not only against war, but against every thing other than ordinary negotiation. Out of their own mouths they shall be convicted. Their own words shall condemn them.
In the foremost ranks of the federalists of that day stood Alexander Hamilton. Believe his party, and he stood then and stands now a host in himself. Though now the champion of war, he was then the apostle of peace. He published a set of essays, whose length tired his friends as well as his foes, entitled Camillos . In those essays are to be found his sentiments at that day, when Washington presided at the head of our affairs, for whose spirited conduct and untarnished honor he certainly felt as lively a solicitude as for that of the present Executive Magistrate.
From those essays we shall proceed to make liberal quotations, which to be correctly applied will require but little commentary.
Extract 1. "It is only to consult the history of nations, to perceive, that every country, at all times, is cursed by the existence of
men, who, actuated by an irregular ambition, forsook nothing which they imagine will contribute to their own advancement and importance."
Extract 2.
"National pride is generally a very untractable thing. In the councils of no country does it act with greater force, than in those of Great Britain. Whatever it might have been in her power to yield to negotiation, she could have yielded nothing to compulsion, without self-degradation, and without the sacrifice of that political consequence, which, at all times very important to a nation, was peculiarly so to her at the juncture in question. It should be remembered, too, that from the relations in which the two countries have stood to each other, it must have cost more to the pride of Great Britain to have received the law from us than from any other power."
"When one nation has cause of complaint against another, the course marked out by practice, the opinion of writers, and the principles of humanity, the object being to avoid war, is to precede reprisals of any kind, by a demand of reparation. To begin with reprisals is to meet on the ground of war, and puts the other party in a condition not to be able to recede without humiliation."
"Had this course been pursued by us it would not only have rendered war morally certain, but it would have united the British nation in the vigorous support of their government, in the prosecution of it; while, on our part, we should have been quickly distracted and divided. The calamities of war would have brought the most ardent to their senses, and placed them among the first in reproaching the government with precipitation, rashness, and folly, for not having taken every chance, by pacific means, to avoid so great an evil."
Extract 3.
"Few nations can have stronger inducements than the United States to cultivate peace. Their infant state in general, their want of a marine in particular, to protect their commerce, would render war, in an extreme degree, a calamity. It would not only arrest our present rapid progress to strength and prosperity, but would probably throw us back into a state of debility and impoverishment, from which it would require years to emerge."
"Our trade, navigation, and mercantile capital, would be essentially destroyed. Spain being an associate with Great Britain, a general Indian war might be expected to desolate the whole extent of our frontier—our exports obstructed, agriculture would of course languish; all other branches of industry would proportionally suffer; our public debt instead of a gradual diminution, would sustain a great augmentation, and draw with it a large increase of taxes and burthens on the people."
Extract 4.
"By taking the ground of negotiation in the attitude of preparation for war, we at the same time carried the appeal to the prudence of the British cabinet, without wounding its pride, and to the justice and interest of the British nation, without exciting feelings of resentment."
"This conduct was calculated to range the public opinion of that country on our side, to oppose it to the indulgence of hostile views in the cabinet, and, in case of war, to lay the foundation of esteem and dissatisfaction."
"But one of the most important advantages to be expected from the course pursued, was the securing of unanimity among ourselves, if, after all the pains taken to avoid a war, it had been forced upon us."
"As on the one hand, it was certain that dissension and discontent would have embarrassed and enfeebled our exertions, in a war produced by any circumstances of intemperance in our public councils, or not endeavouring to be prevented by all the milder expedients usual in similar cases: So on the other it was equally certain, that our having ineffectually exhausted those expedients, would cement us in a firm mass, keep us steady and persevering amidst whatever difficulties might happen, and persevere our efforts to the utmost extent of our resources."
"This union among ourselves, and disunion among our enemies, were infallible effects of the moderate plan, if it had promised no other advantage."
Extract 5.
"But it is unimportant to the real friends of republican government, that the clamper was congenial to the pacific character which is ascribed to it? Would it have been more desirable that the government of our nation, outstripping the war-maxims of Europe, should, without a previous demand of reparation, have rushed into reprisals, and consequently into a war?"
"However this may be, it is a well ascertained fact, that our country never appeared so august and respectable as in the position which it assumed upon this occasion. Europe was struck with the dignified moderation of our conduct; and the character of our government and nation acquired a new elevation."
"It cannot escape an attentive observer, that the language, which, in the first instance, condemned the mission of an envoy extraordinary to Great Britain,
and which now condemns the treaty negotiated by him, terms to consider the United States as among the first rate powers of the world, in point of strength and resources, and proposes to them a conduct predicated from that condition."
"To under-rate our just importance, would be a degrading error. To over-rate it, may lead to dangerous mistakes."
A very powerful state may frequently hazard a high and haughty tone with good policy; but a weak state can scarcely ever do it without imprudence. The last is yet our character; tho' we are the embryo of a great empire. It is, therefore, better suited to our situation to measure each step with the utmost caution; to hazard as little as possible, in the cales in which we are injured; to blend moderation with firmness; and to brandish the weapons of hostility only when it is apparent that the use of them is unavoidable."
"It is not to be inferred from this, that we are to crouch to any power on earth, or tamely to suffer our rights to be violated. A nation which is capable of this meanness, will quickly have no rights to protect, or honor to defend."
Short, indeed, is the commentary that these sentiments require—However inapplicable to the circumstances to which they were professedly applied, they seem, from the precision of their application to present circumstances, to have been written for the present moment. Were I an enthusiast, I should believe them dictated by a superior intelligence as an unanswerable refutation of the war speeches which have disgraced a Ros, a Morris, and a Dayton. At any rate they remain a monument of the inconsistency of men who may be denominated the Jesuits of the age; who in the pursuit of their own narrow interests disregard the means they employ.

WASHINGTON CITY.
FRIDAY, APRIL 29.
We understand that in the course of the ensuing year a line of STAGES will be established from RICHMOND to FRANKFORT in KENTUCKY, by which the mail will be carried.
We congratulate the public on the measures which have been taken by the general government to effect this great object, the importance of which will be fully appreciated by every citizen correctly impressed with the growing consequence of the western country, which it will then be practicable to reach in a period of ten days.
The political and commercial advantages of this arrangement will be equally felt by those who reside on the Atlantic, and the western waters. Integral parts of one common empire the prevalent opinions and feelings of the one will be easily and promptly communicated to the other; and a more frequent intercourse of the citizens of each will add a new tie to that connection which we trust time will only render more indissoluble.
VINE COMPANY.
The President & managers of the company for promoting the cultivation of vines in the state of Pennsylvania, have the pleasure to inform their fellow citizens, that they have purchased a tract of land of 63 acres, at Spring Hill, in the county of Montgomery, about 14 miles from the city; for the purpose of carrying the object of their association fully into effect: This plantation appears to be well calculated for the purpose with respect to soil, exposure and distance from the city. They have received some thousands of cuttings from Europe and elsewhere, and have been favoured with divers communications from various quarters upon the cultivation of the vine. They further state, that they have commenced their operations by employing hands to plant out the vineyards. They entertain sanguine hopes of success, provided the funds of the company are found to justify the expense, of which there can be no doubt if the whole amount of shares were subscribed that the law authorizes, being one thousand upwards of five hundred of which are now subscribed.
The managers, therefore, flatter themselves, that from the accustomed public spirit hitherto manifested by their fellow citizens, they will come forward speedily and subscribe the number of shares wanting to complete the full amount of stock.
Viewed as a great national advantage they conceive it worthy of public, and there is no doubt other states will follow the example, and thereby a large sum of money be saved to the country, annually which is now exported for the different kinds of wines used by our citizens, and our tables and even the chambers of the sick supplied with an abundance of grapes.
The company meets statedly four times a year, and the managers once a week, to attend to the concerns of the company.
The terms of subscription are twenty dollars per share, to be paid in such proportions as may be called for, from time to time, by the company, and will be received by

It seems the National Institute at Paris has not been suppressed, but only underwent a new organization, or classification; the three classes which composed the Institute before are now divided into four, viz.
1st class. Mathematical and physical sciences, composed of 63 members, in 2 sections, including 2 perpetual secretaries, who are D. Lombre and Cuvier, and a president. It may choose 6 of its members out of the other classes of the Institutes, 8 foreign associate members, and 100 national or foreign correspondents.
2d class. French language and literature, composed of 40 members, a perpetual secretary, who is Mr. Suard, and a president, who is Lucien Bonaparte; it may elect 12 of its numbers out of the other classes.
3d class. Ancient languages, monuments, antiquities, moral and political sciences, composed of 40 members, including a perpetual secretary, who is Mr. Dacier, and a president, who is Le Brun, third Consul. It may elect 9 of its members out of the other classes, 8 foreign associate members, and 60 national or foreign correspondents.
4th class. Painting, sculpture, architecture, engraving, and composition of music, composed of 28 members, in as many sections as sciences, with a perpetual secretary, who is Lebréton, and a president, who is Mr. Vincent. It may elect 6 of its members out of the other classes, 8 foreign associate members and 26 national or foreign correspondents.
The foreign associate members, as well as the correspondents are excluded from the sections and salaries. The former only shall have a vote on all subjects of science submitted to their class. The present French associates of the institute compose part of the 195 correspondents.
The secretaries named by the classes are confirmed by the First Consul; they will have 6000 francs a year, and the members of the Institute 1500 francs each.
The first class will distribute every year a premium of 3000 francs the 2d and 3d classes of others, of 1500 francs each; and the 4th class a silver medal, who shall be sent to Rome at the public expense.
It was on the 24th January last, that the French government now modelled the Institute, and it is worthy of remark that the edicts or arrests which, until then bore the authority of the Consuls of the republic, were on that occasion issued in that of the government of the republic, and it appears that this formula will continue until the next revolution.
A letter from Copenhagen, dated the 12th February, mentions that there was then in the hospital of that city, a woman who had slept eleven weeks without interruption. Some attempts have been made to awake her from this trance, by violently shaking her; while the motion lasts, it seems to revive her; but as soon as it is discontinued, she immediately relapses into a profound and death-like sleep. During this period she has not received any food, notwithstanding which there is not the least alteration in her appearance. She is only twenty eight years of age, but remarkably corpulent.
VACCINATION.
Vaccination has become very popular in Spain, and several works in favor of it have appeared there. Don Diego de Bances has published an 8vo. vol. which treats particularly of its introduction into Spain. His conclusions are drawn from the result of above 600 cases, and are so favorable to the practice that he invites his professional brethren to extend it by every means in their power, and offers to supply them with matter fit for the gratis.
The Empress Dowager of Russia sent Dr. Jenner, a very valuable diamond ring by the hands of Lord St. Helens, accompanied with a letter, of which the following is a translation:
"SIR—The practice of vaccine inoculation in England, having been attended with the happiest success, which is well attested, I have eagerly imitated that example, by introducing it into our charitable establishments.
"My endeavours having perfectly answered my expectations, I feel a pleasure in reporting their success, and in testifying my acknowledgements to him who has rendered this signal service to humanity.
"The motive induces me to offer to you, Sir, the ring sent herewith, as a testimony of the sentiments of esteem and regard with which I am,
"Yours, affectionately, "MARY." Paulowsky, Aug. 10, 1802.
Dr. Don Pedro Hernandez has published an interesting work with four explanatory plates of which two editions have already appeared; his experiments were principally confined to Madrid, and he says that amongst some thousand infant patients, he does not know that one individual has suffered in the operation.
The celebrated KOTZEBUE resides during the present winter at Berlin, where he is much esteemed and admired. His last heroic Drama, "The Siege of Naumburg by the Huns," attracts such crowds every week, to the large new Theatre at Berlin, that many hundreds, were obliged to return without getting admission:—It is founded on an interesting historical fact. When in 1452, this town was besieged by the Huns, the young children of the citizens, were sent into the enemies camp to implore their mercy; and the delivery of the town in consequence is commemorated there, and in the neighbourhood, by an annual Cherry Feast; at the last return of which, the inhabitants testified their thanks unto the Poet, in a most friendly and appropriate manner. There are a number of most affecting scenes in this Drama, which drew tears from every eye, in particular in the struggle between patriotism and maternal affection, when the mothers are taking leave of their children; their appearance in the enemies camp; and their safe return to their parents. The effect is heightened by the happy effect of chorusses, composed by Richard and Shütz. Kotzebue has likewise published a dramatic Almanac. Four thousand copies were sold, a few days after it appearance. It contains six small dramatic pieces.
Extract from the last English publications. December 1.
Several agricultural amateurs are now availing themselves of his Majesty's order
in council, allowing the importation of live cattle, by selecting stock from the principal breeding countries in Europe. A Dutch vessel arrived at Leigh in Essex last week, with thirty-two very capital cows from Harlingen, and several other cargoes are daily expected at that port.
On Saturday last night, a cargo of live bullocks (36) was landed as Sunderland from Hamburg, imported in the Nancy, of London; and on Tuesday, the Liberty, of Sunderland, arrived there with a greater cargo (near 50.) The Supply, Snowden, has arrived at Newcastle, with 41 bullocks, from Hamburg. The British admiralty, according to letters from Hamburg of the 1st, have negotiated with the trade of that place for 900 head of cattle, half alive and half salted.
Sir John Sinclair observes, that upwards of twenty millions sterling within the last ten years, been sent out of England for the purchase of corn; and to this circumstance he ascribes the present low state of the funds.
To the printer of the Hull packet.
Sir, In your last paper I saw mentioned a case that occurred about 50 years ago, parallel to that of Cadling, Easterby, and M'Farlane; which is not correctly stated:—The fact was, that a Mr. Benfon, who was a ship owner, and in Parliament, prevailed on a poor relation, who was totally dependent upon him, to take in a cargo, consisting chiefly of tin, which was landed on the desert Isle of Lundy, in the British channel, and brought away by vessels employed for that purpose. Benfon's vessel was then laden with stones, and sunk in deep water: and the insurance recovered on the ship and cargo. But some of the crew, not thinking themselves sufficiently remunerated, impeached the captain, and the owner; the former was convicted and executed, and the latter punished by a heavy fine, and expulson from his seat in the House of commons.
From the Boston Chronicle.
The exultation of the pretended federalists on the event of the late election, far from proving the strength of their cause is rather an evidence of its weakness. For if they were not sensible that their party was reduced to the utmost desperation, it is impossible that so much vaunting should be displayed on the return of votes for governor.
No man will pretend to say that the support given to Governor Strong, is the evidence of Federalism, in the sense these people wish to represent it; as many republicans, in consequence of his mild disposition, and his declaring last year that no alarm or apprehensions existed throughout the United States, were led to give him their suffrages the present year. It was considered by many that he had baffled the violent designs of a few intriguers in the legislature, to adopt measures in opposition to the federal government. His first speech was censured by the high federal partisans, as "milk and water;" and in no one instance did the papers on that side the question approve of it, or of his conduct.
On this occasion, the governor carried the lieutenant governor and senators. The majority, therefore, was increased by so many republicans uniting in the Chief Magistrate, and without paying any particular attention to the attached candidates. Another circumstance prevailed on the late choice; the quorum which generally subsists in the state, by the moderation of the federal administration, served to check that violence of party which on former occasions took place in our elections. The republicans finding themselves perfectly happy, on re-electing a large majority of Congress are firm supporters of the measures of the President, did not feel over anxious for the choice of state legislators; knowing that nothing could be done to counteract the permanent principles of republicanism. No change of political sentiment has taken place.
The last general court were styled highly federal, if we may judge from the Boston Cent, notwithstanding which, no one measure could be adopted, that in the least countenanced the conduct of the federal administration. Even on the subject of the judiciary, though a violent attempt was made to create a body of insecure judges, the proposition was scouted with the utmost severity—But the most singular circumstance is, that a motion was made by a federalist to remove a judge, who was as attentive to his business as any one on the bench. This proceeding shews the fallacious ground taken by the federalists, or rather the Essex Junto. For if it be admitted that an acting judge could be removed, there can be no doubt but those may, who have nothing to do.
This commonwealth is decidedly republican on all abstract questions. After every modification upon all leading subjects, till the adoption settles on the same principles advocated by the general government. They are incorporated in the people, and it is out of the power of any Junto to annihilate them. The federalists may exult on a pretended advantage, but nothing can be effected which will injure the present admini-
stration. The economy of the general system is the Yacht and Boas of republicanism.
Philadelphia, April 29.
Letters from Port Republic, in per the schooner Lyon, represent the political condition of that place as considerably ameliorated. The arrival of 4000 troops, and the establishment of General Rochambeau's head quarters there, together with the receipt of a large sum of specie, had greatly relieved the depression which before was daily increasing. It was, however, apprehended, that unless additional reinforcements speedily arrived, the whole of the present crop of coffee would be lost in the plantations, in consequence of the want of hands to take it in.
Baltimore, April 26.
A letter of the 21 inst. from Cape-Francois, at Bryden's coffee-house, by the ship Elk, mentions that the bloodhounds lately imported into St. Domingo, from Cuba, have spread great terror among the negroes. Several black prisoners, who would have expiated their guilt upon the gallows, have been turned defenceless and naked upon the plains, and torn to pieces by those dogs! A number of the chief officers of the brigands lately held a conference, by a flag of truce, with the commanding officers of Cape-Francois. The result was not known, but the report prevailed that they offered to lay down their arms and return to their plantations provided they could be treated as hirelings and not as slaves.

"BOSTON"—A Poem.
The following is an extract from a poem, the production of one of our native bards, [Winthrop Sargent]—which is said to hold superior rank in Poetical Productions. After satirizing almost all the reigning vices, and particularly the taste of the town, he thus continues:—
"Where yonder window counterfeits the moon; And swift-wing'd evening comes a day too soon; The laughing hours with court inverted run, And morning there, has only just begun; Fashion presides with each attendant ill, And health and beauty languish at quadrille. The fading dimples from that cheek have fled, Where once mild charms the rose & lily wed; And all the glowing elegance of bloom Has lent its turn to atrophy and gloom. Yet, tho' the heavy hand of midnight care Has pluck'd the rose and left the lilly there, Think not the face with vernal to adorn, Nor let the cheek say what the heart would fain. Oh, leave the fruitless fictions of the loom, The noxious air, and humbeast's greasy fume Fly from the scenes which no true joy can yield, To nature's beauties, and the fragrant field. The groves and lawns a rich delight supply, Instruct the fancy, while they charm the eye; The odour'd notes on healthful breezes borne, That lull the evening, and awake the morn; That sacred calm when contemplation's fight, May read the mind by lovelier reason's light; Are joys that rural nature only knows, And far surpassing all the town bestows."
