JOHN W

From the Federal Gazette.
SPANISH PATRIOTS.
Amongst the stratagems practised by Sieyes and Talleyrand, the apostates and managers of the grand drama, called the French revolution...
Money being the consideration, for which it is agreed estates and chattles shall pass, there is no other thing about the value of which there is so much unanimity as money...
At the instigation of a treacherous prince of peace, the king of Spain, who, like many other princes and people, enchanted by the revolutionary spell...
Knowing that the United States had given asylum to multitudes of emigrants from the British dominions, who only panted to revenge real or imaginary grievances...
Although, said the managers, the revolutionary cruizers will perfectly understand the decrees, and, as far as in their power, put them in strict execution...
But even George the third will not be amused by promises or pretensions, (3) England will issue forth the retaliating orders...
(1.) See the fact stated by the secretary of state to Mr. Armstrong, six months before the embargo...
(2.) It was indeed accidental, that the ship Horizon was cast on the French shore, and formally condemned in time...
(3.) Whoever compares the manner in which his highness, the protector, rid himself of the parliament...
neutral, and leave him but one of two alternatives, either to renounce the most lucrative trade he possesses...
In case Spain and Portugal should decline the generous proposal of their benefactors, and refuse to give up their crowns and treasures...
Such, in fact, is the history of the part which has been played on the United States, and we have been forced to take in the horrible interlude now performing.
Who then can be surprised, that the movers of the machinery at Paris, bursting with self-approbation, should have dared to unfurl, in the face of the world, the scroll...
Thus assured, if not of active participation, at least of passive acquiescence, by a power which habitually furnished most essential supplies...
Notwithstanding the fulfilment of the prophecy made by the managers themselves, and which they themselves had secured the means of performing...
Happily the United States possessed citizens capable of turning the retiring principles of the administration to good account at last...
Although as it respects the government of the United States, it may be said of the late propositions of the British...
But, that the idolators may not go distracted from the loss of confidence in the idol, who, even in his apprenticeship in Egypt...
is no more than charity to inform them, if I may be allowed a little gaiety at their expense...
It is even probable that anxious to maintain the subjection of those rich colonies, which mainly render Spain and Portugal desirable conquests...
Already the hawks have fixed their prey, and spread their talons; but as no people have ever yet been kind enough first to make war on them...
The Old Baltimorean.
From the Newbern Federal Republican, MAY 6.
All speak of change—the renovated form, Of long forgotten things arise again.
ONCE more shall the ocean be whitened by the canvass of America, while our "dignified retirement" will only be remembered...
interests demand it. Atonement for the outrage on the Chesapeake—The rescinding of the British orders...
These happy events and cheering prospects, were celebrated with great joy and festivity on Wednesday last, by the Federal republicans of the town of Newbern.
About two o'clock, the company began to assemble at Mr. Weeks' hotel; and shortly after sat down to an excellent dinner...
The presiding officers were Mr. John Green, president, and Daniel Carthy, esq. vice-president.
The following are the toasts of the day, which, with the discharges of cannon, appropriate songs, and the high spirits which seemed to animate every heart...
TOASTS.
1. The 10th day of June, 1809—the day after which the trade of the United States with Great Britain may be renewed—3 cheers. 2. Non-importation, non-intercourse and embargo laws... 3. The re-establishment of a cordial understanding...
Great Britain. The advances already made towards an adjustment of differences, promise the attainment of this great object—cheers.
4. The new alternative. Neither war, submission, nor embargo; but frank and honorable negotiation—3 cheers. 5. The American people—too proud to surrender their own rights—too just to invade the rights of others—3 cheers. 6. The memory of the illustrious George Washington. Veneration for his virtue—gratitude for his services... 7. The President of the U. States—while he pursues the straight course of honesty and wisdom... 8. Congress of the U. States—wisely using the experience of their predecessors... 9. The judiciaries of the union, and of the individual states—while they possess a Marshall—a Johnston, and a Tilton... 10. The army and navy of the U. S.—intended as the means of defence... 11. The state of North Carolina—firmly attached to the federal compact... 12. Timothy Pickering, the American Aristides. "He is not the advocate of wrong doers to whatever country they belong... 13. The minority of the last congress—It is not their fault that we have not yet gained the summit of prosperity... 14. Our brethren of the East—their intelligence and firmness have not been exerted in vain... 15. Agriculture, commerce and the mechanic arts—Connected by interest... 16. The Spanish patriots—whatever their fate, our hearts and souls are with them—4 cheers. 17. The American Fair—Their domestic virtues soothe our cares... VOLUNTEERS. By Mr. Carthy—The memory of Sir John Moore, and the glorious retreat of the twenty-five thousand British from Sahagun to Corunna. By Mr. Graham—Distressed American Seamen, throughout the globe... By Mr. Stanly—Mr. Josiah Quincy—The sagacious statesman—the able and undaunted defender of his country's rights. By Mr. Gaston—The America Fare—high wages—steady employment and effectual protection. IN COMMON COUNCIL, MAY 10, 1809. ORDERED, That Abraham Faw, William S. Moore, and Joseph Smith, be commissioners to hold an election on Monday, the 22d instant... ADAM LYNN, C. C. Advertisement. WHEREAS the county court of Prince William hath made an order that the estate of Henry D. Hooe, deceased, shall be settled on the first Monday in July next... William Shaw, D. S.
