MENDING THE CONSTITUTION.
Among other ridiculous assumptions of importance by persons of inferior station and grovelling capacity, the editors of the Aurora and Intelligencer have severally proposed amendments to the constitution. The sagacious Smith is for establishing a court to decide controversies between the union and the separate states, by way of providing for the case of a state resisting the authority of the union, in a matter already within the powers granted to the general government. He has not taught us what the ulterior remedy is to be, if the militia of Pennsylvania were ordered to add opposition to the decision of his new court, to that of the present supreme court. This resembles the geology of the Turks, as given by a celebrated traveller. According to their system it is poised on the back of a huge tortoise, but they do not trouble their heads to argue about the support of the tortoise. It is plain, that states like Pennsylvania and Virginia, possessing great physical force, and governed by untractable demagogues, will submit only when they please to the controul of the general government. The disorder therefore lies in the men, whom the people entrust with power, without requiring them to possess the qualifications of good sense and public virtue; and not in any deficiency of our political system. It is in vain to multiply regulations to bind those, who are disposed and able to exercise their own caprices.
If the project of the one government printer is only silly, that of the other is bold and turbulent. Duane's amendment goes the length of abolishing the state sovereignties. "We must," says he, "have one general government, but can do without the state governments." "If both cannot exist together, we must remove the latter." In the development of his principles he plainly discovers his policy to be such as would hang his friends, Snyder, Bright, the democrats in the Pennsylvania legislature, &c. &c. Something of this kind may speedily take place, without the colonel's amendment; for it seems that the district court has issued process against the persons who, in military array, opposed the marshall in Olmstead's case, and that Mr. Dallas, the district attorney, has declared that the general government intends to support itself in the present conflict.
The people of Maryland ought to be attentive to these movements. The unbridled spirit of misrule, which is beginning to rage in all its fury, in the wealthy and populous state of Pennsylvania has made desperate efforts in our own: nor can we say it is yet altogether subdued. We have very lately witnessed some of its dangerous propensities, particularly in the trial, by military law, for the high crime of mutiny, of a gentleman, against whom nothing more could be made out, than a partial controul he possesses over one of the public presses of this city. In Pennsylvania, beside the opposition by the state militia to the laws of the union, it has succeeded in abolishing the law of the land, by making all causes triable by arbitrators, where either party desires it, and if they do not agree upon the nomination of arbitrators, they are to be chosen by an executive officer, who holds his commission during the pleasure of the governor. To this state of anarchy and uproar, nothing is more likely to ensue than a permanency of that military law, which was attempted upon the person of Mr. Hanson, here, but of which our people will reasonably express their abhorrence.

FOREIGN.
(VIA NEW-YORK.)
LONDON, February 16.
The thirty-first bulletin is received. It states that out of 80 cannon, the British were only able to embark 12; it says the French gained 60. The English (the bulletins declare) gained nothing by the experience, but the hatred of the Spaniards and the English is increased. The governor of Corunna took the oath of allegiance to King Joseph, and the people manifested great joy on being delivered from the English.
February 18.
All the accounts we receive from the southern and eastern provinces of Spain are agreeable to the cause of Spanish independence, as far as that independence is to be secured by the attachment of the people to their ancient institutions, and to the family of the Bourbons. But we are sorry to say that a gallant and enthusiastic people are destitute of those resources in arms and ammunition which are necessary to give effect to their courage.
A ship has arrived from Charleston, (S.C.) which place, in common with every other town of America, feels sensibly the miseries arising from the embargo. The commercial people here have been much surprised by the arrival, within these two or three days, of no fewer than 28 ships from America laden with cotton, grain, and giving us a seasonable supply of many other valuable commodities. On enquiry, we find that all these are consigned to the house of Sir Francis Baring and Co. and that they come, not like their precursors, with the stigma of violating the embargo, but under the licence and authority of the republican government. It is well known, that the mercantile house just alluded to, is the agent of the United States for the payment of the demands of claimants in this country on the American funds. It has become necessary to the credit of the public, that these demands should be satisfied, and the difficulty was, under the circumstances of the embargo and non intercourse acts, to discover the means by which such payments should be made here. There is no doubt it will be found, that Messrs. Barings have undertaken to discharge the accruing debt to the proprietors of American stock, and that the consignment of these cargoes and others, is the mode provided for their repayment.
The anxiety of the merchants here is directed to the situation of Oporto. A great many ships principally laden with wine, are now in that port, which from the state of the wind, have not been able to clear the bar, and serious apprehensions are entertained, that they will fall into the hands of the enemy.
BY THE LAST MAIL.
BALTIMORE, April 12.
Yesterday arrived at this port the Spanish ship Sagunta, Ferara, in 17 days from Havanna. By this arrival we learn that a mob of a serious nature threatened the repose of that place, but had been quelled by the timely interposition of the governor and police, who acted from motives of personal safety. The mob was composed of blacks and the dregs of the populace set on by actors behind the scene, to be revenged on the peaceable French inhabitants in retaliation for the disasters in Spain. In quelling the tumult several lost their lives. An attempt to massacre the French at the Manzanillo was to be made at the same time.
In consequence of this affair business for two or three days was at a stand at Havanna. The governor had issued his proclamation forbidding an assemblage in the streets of more than four persons. The ringleaders of this business have been seized, who with about 200 of their deluded followers, are incarcerated in the dungeons. The property which had been plundered is recovered. The negroes are fleeing to the mountains and the military in pursuit. General Wilkinson and suite arrived at that port on his passage to New Orleans in the United States brig Hornet, from Charles-ton which vessel brought the news of the raising of the embargo. Flour was plenty, at from $2 25 to 25 per bbl. Colonial produce on the rise.
Alexandria Daily Gazette.
FRIDAY, APRIL 14.
A religious meeting is proposed for this afternoon about 5 o'clock, in the Court-House; to which this is a general invitation.
The votes for governor of Massachusetts, as they are given in the Boston Palladium of Friday from 201 towns, are,
For Mr. Gore, 29,491 For Mr. Lincoln, 25,333
Majority for Mr. Gore, 2,608 The same towns, at the election in 1808, gave governor Sullivan a majority of a hundred and twelve.
The British packet Express, which arrived at New York the 9th, brought upwards of 6000 letters.
Captain Perkins, of the schooner Linnet, informs, that he passed Martinique on the thirteenth of March, and saw the French troops all embarked, and ready for sea.
A more extraordinary contrast of political sentiment than that which the news of yesterday, respecting Spanish affairs, produced in this city, has never been exhibited.
While the self-styled republicans of the Jefferson school conforming to the opinions of their preceptor, rejoice in the change of fortune, which these advices announce to the cause of freedom in Spain, the federalists, who profess and practice the principles of their immortal leader, the great Washington, regret with heartfelt sorrow every reverse that can arise to an oppressed people, who are combating for all that can render existence desirable.
When America, under a political oppression, determined to dissolve her connexion with Great Britain, her determination was encountered by every consideration that could bind man to man in his social character or political relations—A common ancestry, the same language, manners, religion, and laws were opposed to the dissolution of her dependence on the parent state—but every tie of interest or affection was burst asunder, by the imperious dictate of self-government and national independence—and war, with all its horrors, was preferred to submission.
How much enhanced, under these reflections, is the struggle of Spain, for freedom and independence! The yoke of a foreign nation, unauthorised by the smallest pretext of allegiance, or the most distant connexion of kindred, language, manners, laws, or religion, is attempted to be imposed on the people of Spain; and yet there are men to be found in the United States, who can justify the attempt and rejoice in its success.
We do not mean to reproach every man among our political opponents, as entertaining this detestable sentiment—we think better both of the heads and hearts of the great majority of them than to believe in so vile, so infamous an apostasy from all their professions—but we hold it a duty to our country, and her independence, to place every good citizen of the U. S. on his guard against those men, who entertain and express such liberticidal opinions.

Extract of a letter addressed to the editor of the Phil. Reg. dated London, Feb. 15.
"The newspapers have already informed you of the glorious victory which ended the military career and patriotic life of sir John Moore. Holland, Egypt and Zealand, had before witnessed his achievements, and all true Spaniards and candid Frenchmen acknowledge, that no commander could have displayed a greater generalship, than he shewed during a brilliant retreat of twenty-one days, in face of so vastly superior enemy; in a country so difficult, and in a season so unfavorable for the march and manoeuvre of an army. From the 17th of Dec. not a day passed, without frequent attempts of the enemy to surround our troops and cut off their retreat towards the coast. That on all occasions the French were repulsed, is evident, from the almost unexampled embarkation of near 30,000 men.
"The number of foes, who pursued our troops, were according to the reports of French prisoners, no less than 78,000, of whom 16,000 were cavalry. Bonaparte would certainly not have evacuated Madrid a second time, had he trusted more to the valor, and less to the number of his banditti and had he been convinced of the truth of the illiberal abuse with which his bulletins
so shamefully assailed his opposers. Enraged at the failure of his plans to annihilate the infamous islanders, he angrily turned them his back, and barbarously revenged upon priests, old men and children at Madrid his disappointment. So certain was he of victory, that in an intercepted letter to the emperor of Russia, of the 6th of Dec. he declared that before Alexander read it, the 50,000 Britons in Spain had ceased to exist.
"As to his authority in Spain, it is apparent that he is obeyed only where he has force enough to command obedience, and that in all places, insurrections accompany the departure of his soldiers. Every where his perfidy inspires animosity, and his cruelties excite execrations. As he will be obliged to garrison all the sea-ports, forts, strong passes, and populous towns, he must keep in Spain at least 50,000 men, at the expense of France. Spain, exhausted as she is, and deprived of her colonies, will long continue an impediment, instead of an advantage to the gigantic projects of this unprincipled usurper; who besides has many serious obstacles to remove, before he can master the southern part of the Spanish monarchy."
BERMUDA, March 25.
By an arrival from Norfolk we learn, that the American embargo was removed the 4th instant, except as to England and France and their dependencies.
Arrived the brig Sudermania, under Swedish colors, from St. Bartholomews, bound to the coast of Africa, laden with rum, tobacco, &c. detained by the Swiftsure; and the French schr. La Rivale, from Guadaloupe, for Philadelphia, laden with sugar and coffee.
Extract of a letter from Amelia Island, dated 28th March.
The duties imposed upon imports hither are 16 1-2 per cent. ad valorem, valuing all descriptions of cotton at 12 cents per lb. and averaging each bag at 250 lbs. weight. Valuing tobacco at 4 dollars per 100 lbs. and rice two dollars per hundred pound and upon exports a further duty of 7 1-2 per cent. ad valorem is levied; there is no tonnage duty and the port charges are trifling.
Bonaparte in Spain.—We attempted some days since to develop the plans of Napoleon in dethroning the Spanish monarch. We then stated that the immediate possession of the Spanish colonies was his object. And that when he was once established in South America, it would be very easy for him to subjugate the whole continent. At that time we considered ourselves an independent nation, and that Bonaparte if he conquered us at all, would have to do it by the sword. But from a hint in a piece we have seen in a Richmond paper we find that we were mistaken; and that we only want an opportunity to grant our assistance openly to the tyrant in establishing his system of universal dominion. The piece we allude to is calculated for the meridian of Virginia, and was evidently written to promote the elections of jacobins in that state. The author attempts to excuse the majority of the members of congress for raising the embargo, and acknowledges that they were driven to it by the "revolutions in the north." He thinks it would have been better to have continued the embargo, and "to have availed ourselves of the probable anxiety of Bonaparte in consequence of Spain, to secure our assistance and efforts in securing a title to her colonies in our neighborhood."
This is as much as to say that Bonaparte would probably be anxious to secure our assistance in the conquest of the Spanish colonies. And the writer intimates that by granting this assistance, we could probably have induced his imperial majesty to withdraw his obnoxious decrees. The democratic editors are apt to let out the plans of their masters, sometimes inadvertently, but oftener to feel the pulse of the people.—That this was thrown out for the latter purpose there is not the least doubt. The idea of a war with South America has always been popular in the United States, and it is to be feared that such a war, and that too under the flag of Napoleon, is not altogether chimerical. We sincerely hope it may be imaginary, but when we look at every circumstance which has lately occurred, we must say the aspect of affairs is equally.
The paragraph cited above, acknowledges that Bonaparte would be ready to enlist us, and seems to infer that we ought to enlist. General Wilkinson with an army has gone to New Orleans—The democrats are continually crying out that Bonaparte is fighting for the liberty of the seas and the laws of neutrality; against king-craft and priestcraft—if this is the case, would it be any thing strange if we should assist him in de-
stroying the tyranny of the priesthood in South America? This subject is new to most people—but certainly deserves a little consideration; we shall pay more attention to it in a future paper.

THE BATTLE OF BAYLEN.
By William Carey.
Roll Anjuda*, roll thy flood, Dy'd of old with Moorish blood! Swell thy tide; Flow with pride; Flow forever, fam'd in story. Lo! again thy banks are spread With our foes:—the vanquish'd dead, Wet'ring, lie all pale and gory, Umbla† saw, in strange affright, In thy stream, Helmets gleam— Baylen heard the tempest rattle— Horse to horse, and man to man; Ere the dawn the battle began, To the brazen roar of battle: As the wint'ry torrent sweeps, Down Morena‡ ravaged sweeps, Rush'd the foe, To overthrow Spain! the bulwarks of thy glory, As old Calpe§ braves the flood, Our unshaken phalanx stood— Brothers, sons, and fathers hoary. Atentijo, with the shock, Felt her vine-clad summits rock: Guera's vale, Hill and dale, Trembling with the mighty motion. Guadalquiver's current fled Swiftly from her troubled bed, Foaming like the angry ocean. Pavchion, pike, and bayonet, Smote and pierc'd, and clashing met, On the plain, Strew'd with slain, Charg'd with fate's avenging power: Through the fleeting shades of night Flash'd the vollied blaze of light— Fell like hail the deadly shower. O'er groves, & fields, & mountains blue, On rosy pinions morning flew, Broad and bright, Stream'd the light, The golden face of day unveiling; In darkness still the conflict lay— The dismal war field's grim array, A sullen cloud of smoke concealing. Their whirlwind rage five times we stood, And stemm'd the whelming battle flood. Still amain, O'er the plain, Roll'd the hostile peals of thunder, Afar, the wild bull cow'ring fled, And man and steed recoil'd in dread, Earth shook, and seem'd to rend asunder: Long and deadly was the strife, Trumpet, drum, and shrilling fife, Groans and cries Pie c'd the skies, Death's loud organ swell'd the chorus, Raging like a stream of fire, Burst our old Iberian ire, Fast consuming all before us. Weep ye hapless maids of Gaul! Weep your absent lover's fall! In despair, Rend your hair! Weep beside your willowy fountains! Wan beneath the frowning sky, Gash'd with wounds they vanquish'd die. On our Andalusian mountains: The wolf at midnight laps their blood; Their limbs shall glut the Eagle's brood: Tyrant haste, To the feast; Erect the crest—be bloodier, belder. Behold thy conquest, claim thy spoil: Thy heroes shall possess our soil: Yes! there they shall unburi'd moulder. * Anjuda, a winding river, which passes through the city of the same name, and near to Baylen. † Umbla, a commanding eminence near the scene of action. ‡ The mountains called Sierra Morena. § The rock of Gibraltar.

THE HONEST POLITICIAN,
In a Series of Numbers, addressed to the President of the United States—to which added a publication under the signature VINDEX.
January 19.

TO THE PUBLIC,  He are affected with Coughs, Colds, Asthmas and Consumptions.
THERE is perhaps no medical observation better established, none more generally confirmed by the experience of the best physicians of all ages and countries, and one of more importance to the practitioner, than the fact, that many of the most difficult and incurable complaints originate in neglected COLDS. In a climate as variable as ours, where the changes of the weather, are frequently sudden and unexpected, it requires more care and attention, to guard against this subtle and dangerous enemy of life, than most people imagine, or are willing to bestow. Hence the vast number of patients afflicted with coughs, catarrhs, asthma and consumptions. The many cases of the kind which fell under my observation, the disappointment I experienced in practice, from remedies highly recommended, and my own pre-disposition to pulmonary complaints, were strong inducements for me to consider when ther a compound, consisting of mild vegetable substances could not be invented, more free from the well founded objections of practitioners, and better calculated to avert the threatening destruction of the lungs.
I have the satisfaction to offer to the public such a remedy, under the name of the VEGETABLE PULMONIC DETERGENT , well adapted to various constitutions and habits, and to declare with the fullest confidence that I found this composition far superior to others intended to answer the same purpose. I am perfectly satisfied, that practitioners, who have frequently to combat the effects of suppressed perspiration and do not neglect the use of the lancet and other evacuations, whenever they are indicated, will place this medicine on the list of their most favorite remedies; as it can in no case do harm. I will bide by this motto—
NO RELIEF NO PAY.
This motto may be deemed ostentatious by some, and amounting to a positiveness that the medicine will invariably effect a cure in any stage of a disease like a miracle; the proprietor is far from believing that this medicine will render mankind immortal; but he is fully sensible if taken sensibly, and according to the directions, it will either prevent or cure, and if unseasonably, it will most sensibly alleviate distress and prolong life—and having no desire to profit by the confidence of the sick and afflicted, induces me to make the above overture; should the contrary appear in any instance, as in some it possibly may, the money for the medicine will be cheerfully refunded by the person who may vend the same.
GEORGE ROGERS.
N. B. The above named medicine is secured to the subscriber by letters patent from the President of the United States, and prepared at his Dispensary in Northampton, county of Hampshire and state of Massachusetts.
TO THE PUBLIC.
The great benefit which I have experienced from Rogers's Vegetable, &c. and a firm persuasion that it may afford relief of others, induce me to make every laudable exertion for its distribution.
For five years preceding the last of Dec 1807, in consequence of taking a violent cold I had been afflicted with the Asthma, a disorder which I conceived to be hereditary, my father and grand-father both having greatly suffered from it. The disorder increasing rapidly upon me, in the spring of 1807, I consulted Dr. C. L. Seeger, but the urgency of his business prevented him from attending at that time, particularly to my case. My business made it necessary for me to leave home, and be absent the greatest part of summer, which deprived me of the able professional assistance of Dr. Seeger. In Sept. last, a severe cold brought on a violent cough, and the disorder assumed an aspect more serious and alarming than at any former period—I was extremely debilitated, emaciated and confined. Such was the irritability of my lungs, I was obliged to use the greatest caution in the act of respiration. After a free use of Rogers's Vegetable, &c. for about two months, I was perfectly relieved of the dreadful cough which had so long afflicted me, and completely cured of every symptom of the Asthma—in short, blessed be God, I have continued in sound health ever since.—As these facts may be important to those unfortunate individuals who are suffering from the same disorder, I have been thus particular in their detail. And I do not hesitate to declare my solemn conviction, both from my own experience and observing its effects upon others, that Rogers's V. P. D. is an easy, safe and effectual remedy for coughs and Asthmas, and is the greatest antidote to all pulmonary complaints that the world has ever witnessed.
Jacob W. Brewster.
Northampton, January, 1809.
THIS may certify, that about the first of October last, I was attacked with a violent cough, which proceeded, as was the opinion of my physician who is a man well approved
of in his profession, from a bruise which I had received on my left side about a fortnight before. By his consent I tried Rogers's Pulmonic Detergent—I was very weak and low, and took but half the quantity prescribed in his directions. In three days I was much relieved, and in eight days quite cured of the cough.
Moses Parsons, jun.
Northampton, Feb. 1809.
Northampton, Mass. Feb. 1809.
I James Heaton, also hereby certify, that in the fall of the year 1808, I was seized with a severe cold attended by an obstinate and distressing cough. The violence of my cough soon produced a pain in my side and breast, and frequent spitting of blood, in short, all the horrid symptoms of a consumption were rapidly assailing me. In this situation I was recommended to Dr. George Rogers, who rendered me immediate relief by administering his Vegetable Detergent. I have continued the use of it ever since, and for three months past, though not completely restored to health, I have been able constantly to attend to my business—and I fully believe that my partial restoration has been solely owing (under God) to this valuable medicine.
James Heaton.
To the Public.
IN consequence of taking a severe cold in May, 1808, I was seized with a violent pain in my side, attended with a distressing cough, which, although I had the advice and prescriptions of a respectable physician, lasted me four weeks, without any alleviation. I then applied to Dr. George Rogers, who administered his Vegetable Pulmonic Detergent, which gave me immediate relief; and in ten days I was entirely freed from the pain in my side and cough.
Charles Chapman.
Northampton, March, 1809.
I, Elijah Norton, jun. of Westampton, in Massachusetts, do certify, that in the last year I was attended with a great debility—weakness of the lungs, distressed for breath, and a violent cough, attended with a fever for a number of months: about the fifteenth of August I began the use of Dr. George Rogers's Vegetable Pulmonic Detergent. I kept in the use of it about three months, immediately after taking this medicine my cough abated, and I could breathe with more freedom. I would recommend the medicine from my own experience, to those who are troubled with a cough, and disorders of the lungs and breast, & consumptive complaints, and do believe it to be a valuable and useful medicine.
