REMARKS
ON THE MEDITERRANEAN FUND BILL, From the New-York Evening Post.
The above very extraordinary bill is found in the Aurora of this morning. We do not hesitate to pronounce this the most audacious attempt to impose an impressive burden on the commercial states, which we have yet witnessed—and to render it the more tolerable, it is imposed under false and insidious pretences.
At the commencement of the session, it will be remembered, Mr. Jefferson informed Congress of his land speculation with Bonaparte, to the amount of fifteen millions of dollars. Well aware that the northern states would not readily consent to the increase of the already heavy import duties, to purchase salt mountains, prairies, arenas, and wide spreads for the blessings of freedom near the antipodes, he took special care to mention that "the economies which would still be introduced into our public expenditures, and the extraordinary progression of our revenue, would be sufficient to meet the intermediate interest of this additional debt, without recurring to new taxes."
Every man of sense and reflection knew all this, was mere philosophy, or, in other words, that political quackery which so eminently characterises every measure of the present administration. Since that time we have waited to see whether the public credit would be put to hazard, or whether the expense would be provided for by a suitable and equal tax.
It has happened that our President's "gestions" in his mode of warfare in the Mediterranean with the least possible force, has already been attended with the loss of his only blockading frigate.—This disaster more particularly affects the commercial states, and the sensibility of the community is deeply excited by the unhappy condition of our brave countrymen reduced to slavery. Now, says Mr. Jefferson, now is the time to increase the revenue without loss of popularity. Eight hundred thousand dollars per annum must be raised to pay the interest of the great land speculation—we will take this opportunity to raise this sum, by calling it a "Mediterranean fund." We will impose this tax, as a mere temporary tax in the first instance; but when the yoke is once about the neck, we will fasten the rivets at leisure.
But what is to be the effect of this scheme? simply this. Because we have lost a frigate, an addition is to be made to the already heavy duties on manufactured articles of 2 1-2 per centum, ad valorem. It appears from Mr. Gallatin's report of this session that the articles now subject to these duties, amount to $1,708,161 dollars; the new duties proposed by this bill, will therefore raise the sum of 792,654 dollars.
It is in vain to say that these duties will be temporary; they are only nominally so: the money will be wanted to pay interest on Louisiana debt. Besides, are our duties on consumable articles to vary with every momentary exigency of government. The effect of such a system will be to reduce all our merchants to poverty and ruin.
We now ask those who are not wilfully dumb to answer a few questions:
Can it be true that an addition to our debt of fifteen millions of dollars could be safely funded on our existing revenue, and that the loss of a single frigate can require a new tax of 792,000 dollars per annum?
Is not this nick-named "Mediterranean fund," which is to be created by a tax of 2 1-2 per cent. on our clothing and other necessary articles of foreign consumption, in fact a Louisiana fund; is it any thing more or less than a fund on our trade, to buy "prairies and salt mountains?"
If these questions are answered in the negative, which they will not be, except by the Duanes, and Cheethams, and Passquins, then we have to ask whether, as our commerce has already been burdened with the interest of the Louisiana debt, amounting by Mr. Gallatin's own statement, to seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars, it would not be proper that
* See Gallatin's Report of Oct. 24, 1803.
the Mediterranean fund should be created by laying on the southern whisky tax from which the mouth of labour has been so pleasantly relieved.
We are fast approaching to a new state of things. It is impossible, we repeat it, that the present partial, persecuting, oppressive, insincere and paltry system of administering the government cannot last. The tricks of the political jugglers are understood; and however dexterously they may think they manage their affairs to deceive the community, already the blind begin to see—the deaf to hear—and the most credulous to doubt. If more regard is not paid to truth and justice; if the public burdens are not more fairly equalized; if one part of the country and class of our citizens are thus made to pay all the taxes, while another part, another class, are to be exempt from their share of the public burden, and still to receive a full proportion of all the advantages, no possible consequences that can follow need occasion any surprise.
In a late view of the "STATE OF FRANCE," published by order of Bonaparte, besides a large quantity of trash in the usual French style, we meet with the following paragraph. On this impudent production of the Corsican usurper we shall say nothing, but subjoin some correct remarks by the Editor of the Respository . [E. T. H. Rev.]
"Louisiana is henceforth united to the American States; in that quarter we shall preserve friends, whose remembrance of a common origin will always attach them to our interest, while favourable commercial relations will unite their prosperity with ours. The United States are indebted to France for their Independence—they will henceforth owe to us their strength and grandeur!!"
Here is a sweet sentry from the free born sons of America and Europe, to repeat, to repeat. Here is the prowess which made Burgoyne and his army prisoners, before France, even France, anxious as she was to separate us from her natural rival, our mother country, dared to shew us countenance. No, vain Corsican—it is False !—and there is in degraded America, a remnant still remaining who would struggle as hard to force you to retract the contemptuous expression, as they did to resist the overbearing pretensions of that power which now holds you at defiance. We owe you nothing. For the services received, we have amply paid, and were it otherwise, it is not for the murderers of our Ally Louis, to claim our gratitude.
But unhappily we are not to consider this expression the mere ebullition of vanity. It is an opinion which governs the policy of France towards us; an opinion which is tolerated, nay more, supported in America; echoed by the mignons of the Great Republic, and most of all, in the newly acquired country, that promising bond of future Union. It was the glad tidings of great joy that citizen Lousart proclaimed to the camaleon inhabitants of Louisiana: It was predicted in that preponderance which they were to obtain in the national councils, and that eternal love and gratitude which was to be cherished for France.
But this sentiment, so derogatory to our nation, is not confined to Frenchmen; it actuates the policy of the present administration! Hence every ministerial grant in the United States, seems to glory in the assumed ascendancy of France, and repeat the insult offered to us with evident satisfaction. It is likewise manifest in the conduct of our representatives abroad. Why has Mr. Munroe exhibited a disposition to delay negotiation with Great Britain at a time when it was absolutely necessary, but to flatter the cabinet of the Tuileries? In base subserviency to the will of France, our Treaty with her rival is suffered to expire. Are we not only to assent to a "preponderating influence" at home, but to assume a tone of indifference towards any negotiation with a power, a connexion with whom is of the greatest importance to America; merely because this neglect will be grateful to a nation before which, as Mr. Livingston very diplomatically said, all Europe had bowed the knee.

But to return. Bonaparte has officially proclaimed America dependent on France. To tolerate this language is to assent to it. It is now brought to a point; and we wish to see whether that disposition which has been evident in the party dominant in America, to prostrate the honor and freedom of this country, at the shrine of French ambition, will submit to a declaration which deprives us of the rank, which the blood of our Heroes was spilled to obtain.
From the New-York Spectator.
"Government are not indifferent. When the Machiavellian is in the saddle, there is a charm in words."
History exhibits striking examples of the truth of this sentiment. Rex became so odious at Rome, after the expulsion of the Tarquins, that it would have been more safe to have usurped the sovereignty of a despot, under the appellation of Dictator, or Emperor, than to have assumed the title of King, though destitute of the least shadow of power. Julius Caesar was invested with kingly authority. His countrymen calmly beheld his increasing power; nay, they even co-operated in gratifying his aspiring ambition. He wanted only the splendid trappings of royalty, to consummate his felicity—yet, for suggesting the wish of a diadem, he was assassinated by those very friends, who a little before contributed to load him with honour and with power.
Modern history furnishes us with similar examples. Oliver Cromwell, feared to assume the title of king, though possessed of regal power.
We have recently witnessed the inhabitants of a great nation, actuated, perhaps, more by the magic of "words" than by realities, butcher their king. In consequence of this sanguinary deed, we have seen the tyrant Anarch , desolating and destroying one of the fairest countries on this side heaven. Through that enlightened region where science had spread its benign influence and where refinement had made progressive strides, anarchy scattered ruin and devastation. If in France, anterior to the late revolution, despotism had slain thousands, anarchy has since slain ten thousands. After an eight years reign of this unearthly guest , we have seen a foreigner usurp the throne of Louis, grasp the reins of government, and bind them with a ty-
The citizens of France have been infatuated with "names" and with the "charm" that there is in "words." What else could have instigated this change in their government? If this be admitted, yet I contend that it was the sound , the phantom , and not the reality. As a proof of this, look at their inconsistent conduct. They have sacrificed the life of a good prince, and his amiable family, to the vindictive malice of an infuriated mob; and under the specious name of republicanism, they now yield quietly to the heavy pressure of iron-handed tyranny. The only consolation which the people of France can experience from their present government, is that the title of King has been exchanged for that of Consul. Napoleon Bonaparte exercises despotic power, whilst he gratifies his deluded subjects by relinquishing the mere ensigns of sovereignty. He gives up the shadow—at the same time secures the substance.
But you need not search the page of history—you need not turn your attention to Europe—our own country, yes, my fellow citizens, our own native state, is a voucher for the truth of my position. The change of rulers, which this state, and the United States have experienced, within a few years past, may be ascribed more to "names," and the "charm" of "words," than to any conduct or measure of the federal administration, as the malicious insinuation, that the federalists are friends to monarchical government. This is a pitiful stratagem, suggested by ambitious demagogues, to bewilder and mislead your minds. It is ingeniously calculated to produce this effect. It was foreseen, that the Americans, after a long and arduous war—after enduring a series of cruel indignities, and after obtaining liberty at the expense of blood and treasure, would revolt at the very idea of a violation of their freedom. The authors of this imputation have been challenged to produce their proof. The attempt has never seriously been made. This is conclusive testimony, that they believe it to be unfounded; for if it were capable of being supported, they would, at least, have attempted to gain a point, which, if once established, would destroy the federal interest.
Thus, by a sort of political slight of hand, federalist (which literally signi-
fies a friend to the federal constitution) has become synonymous with royalist . These Machiavellian politicians, by the same magic, have annexed a peculiar property to the word republican . They would induce us to believe, that republicanism implies every thing that is desirable in government. The maxim, that "the king can do no wrong," which has long since become obsolete in America, they have, with a little variation, revived. It now stands thus— republicans can do no wrong . But, let us not forget, that the tyrant of France, and his wretched subjects, are all republicans; and let us learn from this example, that it is not the name of a government that renders it free or despotic. Compare the present with the late administration of your government. The friends to the constitution will gain, and the ruling party will immensely lose, by the comparison. Mildness, liberality and integrity, are the characteristics of the former; but cruelty and intrigue are predominant features of the latter. How many of our hoary-headed veterans, just sinking into the grave, have been prosecuted for their political creed! How many of our revolutionary characters have been wantonly driven from office, because they were the friends of Washington; and how many of these victims of political inquisition, are now destitute of the conveniences, and even the necessaries of life.
The examples which have been alluded to, prove irrefragably, however humiliating the truth, that mankind are often made dupes, by verba et voces et prateria nihil . How important, therefore, is it my fellow-citizens, that you examine every opinion, that you scrutinize every argument, and resist every delusive art. Beware of error—seek indefatigably the truth. This is an object worthy the eternal researches of the human heart. In its very nature it is unchangeable—it is fixed as the throne of Omnipotence.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
CORK, March 13.
Dublin papers say Callinan, alias Gen. Clarke, lately arrested near Cashel, escaped out of the tower in Dublin Castle on Thursday se'n-night by clambering up the funnel of his prison chimney. He was, however, challenged by a sentinel on the terrace, whom he knocked down; but the latter recovering himself, struck Callinan so severe a blow with the butt end of his musket, as to fracture his skull, and he is since dead.
A horrid plot was discovered in the goal of Kilmainham, on Sunday se'n-night. A number of prisoners had been concerned in it; they were to have risen at a certain time, and murder all before them, to escape. It was discovered before the time the attempt was to have been made.
A private letter from Dublin states, that one of the emissaries of France, the notorious John Swiney, escaped a few days since in an open boat, from Cork, with plans of that and other harbours, and of various fortifications, &c. His father and other necessaries to his escape, together with the boatmen who took him to France, are in custody.
A letter dated Cork, January 6, received in town on Saturday mentions that "the noted Arthur O'Connor made his escape from Crosshaven about three weeks ago. This place is in the mouth of Cork harbour. It is said he was in Dublin on the night of the 23d July last, and has been concealed ever since. The people of the boat which carried him to France, as soon as they landed him, set sail with his baggage; in consequence of which he wrote to government, describing the people. Lord Gardner, on this station, sent for all the Crosshaven people, and soon picked them out; they are now in irons on board the guard-ship in this harbour."
According to another account, Thos. Emmet was in company with O'Connor, and on their reaching the coast of Brittany the two gentlemen were marched into the country under an escort of soldiers, and the boat seized, and two soldiers put on board. The people of the boat enraged at being disappointed of their expected reward, threw the soldiers overboard, and put to sea, bringing off with them all the trunks and boxes, which have been given up to Lord Gardner, and are said to contain a great many curious plans, and a correspondence of the most extraordinary and important nature.
LONDON, March 12.
An expedition sailed on Thursday evening against one or more of the ene-
my's ports which it is confidently believed we can hermetically seal up by sinking a number of large vessels, deeply & heavily laden, in the mouth of them.—Boulogne is the port which can be so sealed up, and the thousand and one gun boats it contains, thereby rendered useless. On Thursday evening several large ships, consisting of two 64's, some frigates and bombs, with several gun brigs, shaped their course for Boulogne. A very heavy firing was heard at Dover the whole of Friday, towards the evening it was more heavy, and the houses at Dover were shaken by it; it continued part of yesterday. It is supposed that the expedition which sailed on Thursday evening was engaged in accomplishing its object. The large ships which have sailed, are, it is said, loaded with stones, & these stones so united together by iron bars and chains, as to form one solid mass—and these are to be scuttled side and side, so as to lay the foundation for an embankment of sand, in the same manner as the French themselves succeeded by means of cones at Cherbourg. The whole of this will be done under the cover of our blockading squadron. The immediate good to be derived from it, is that it will give our ships increased depth of water in approaching the port, and enable them by concentrating fire of bombs, to burn the whole force assembled.
DEY OF ALGIERS.
Extract of a letter from an officer in lord Nelson's fleet, dated off Algiers, February 18, 1804.
"On the night of the 15th the Superb , commanded by captain Keats, anchored at Algiers, having Mr. Falcon, the consul general on board, and a letter from Lord Nelson to the Dey, demanding that Mr. Falcon should again be received as consul there, and that all the Maltese who have been lately captured by the Dey's cruisers, should be liberated and given up as British subjects. On the following morning at day-break, a salute was fired from the fort, which, however, capt. Keats did not return but sent a lieutenant on shore with a letter to request an audience of the Dey, which was accordingly granted. Capt. Keats, accompanied by Mr. Scott, chaplain to lord Nelson, who speaks the Arabic fluently,—who acted as interpreter there waited upon the Dey, and presented lord Nelson's letter with a suitable and spirited remonstrance on the occasion. Throughout the interview, which lasted nearly an hour, the Dey's conduct was very violent and outrageous, and it concluded with his positively refusing to receive either Mr. Falcon back again, or to give up any of the Maltese in his possession.
"On the 17th in the morning, our fleet of ten sail of the line came in sight of Algiers, when capt. Keats again went on shore to wait on the Dey, who however refused to see him, he being then busily engaged on the batteries, and after waiting for nearly two hours, capt. Keats returned on board, and on our fleet entering the bay capt. K. went on board the Victory , and communicated to lord Nelson all that had passed with the Dey.
"Under these circumstances his lordship did not think it advisable to attempt further intercourse with the Dey, or to make use of any threat he was not prepared to realize, as, though we could easily in a few hours have destroyed his whole fleet, which was then lying in the Mole, and have knocked down the town about their ears, we might have crippled some of our ships in such a manner as to render them unable to resume the blockade of Toulon at this season of the year, which was deemed a much more important object at the present time. We therefore to-day left Algiers on our way to Toulon again.
"The whole squadron were more disappointed than I can possibly express, at not being permitted to humble the Dey, and extirpate for a time this nest of pirates. Two hours would have done the business completely, and I trust we shall one day make the experiment. I am perfectly convinced, from my own observation, and it was also the opinion of the ablest officers in the fleet that four sail of the line would certainly destroy all their works, and all their navy in one morning, with very little loss.
"They have indeed a great number of guns mounted on their principal battery, which defends the Mole where their fleet is laid up, and it has a formidable appearance from the bay; but it is so judiciously constructed that line of battle ships can anchor upon each flank of it, within pistol shot, where not a gun could be brought to bear upon them, and in which situation they would soon lay the whole work in ruins. This work is the
sole defence of the town from the sea side, except an old wall without a single gun mounted upon it, and which a few broadsides could crumble into dust.
"The garrison does not amount to above four thousand soldiers (if they can be called such) who have neither discipline or courage, and who particularly dread the English; not only from our naval skill, but from an ancient prophetic tradition they have among them, and which they all firmly believe, that "Algiers is to be taken and destroyed by the English on a Sunday." The prophecy may be easily fulfilled by us whenever we chuse, and we must shortly take some decided steps to humble the Dey, unless we are content to pay him tribute, like some of the other European powers. No Consul now can ever be sent back with honor or safety till satisfaction is obtained for the insult we have received.
"The Dey of Algiers is entirely guided by some Jew merchants residing at Algiers."
From AUX-CATS, (St. Domingo.)
March 18, 1804.
"On our passage we met with several privateers; but they appeared afraid of us. The French privateers are very numerous in the Passage; and we must fight our way through them. The Blacks here still continue to kill all the French whites, men women and children. Yesterday, they picked up seventy five of these unfortunate people, and last night the whole of them were massacred. No white person, of any nation dare be seen out after 7 o'clock in the evening. Three days ago, a French privateer ran ashore a small distance from this place. The blacks compelled the French Capt. to hang the whole of the crew (60 in number) and then be his own executioner. The French have instructed the blacks in lessons of blood; and they have proved apt scholars. Since this last assassination the French have sworn to take all vessels trading with the blacks, and put their crews to death. One American crew, I am informed, has already met this fate! All kinds of American produce here is very high; beef 30 dollars per barrel; pork nearly 40; flour seven joes; butter 55 cents per lb. Cheese 20; bacon 55 cents per lb, and dry goods at any price you may set them at. Coffee is 7 dol per cwt. The Black Commander in Chief, and his officers, appear much attached to the Americans."
BOSTON, April 21.
MEDITERRANEAN AFFAIRS. The squadron fitting out at Washington for the Mediterranean, it is said, will be ready for sea, in all May. The seamen and marines, as they enter, are immediately sent on.—A detachment of marines marched through this town on Thursday, to embark for Washington.
The navy-agent here, we learn, has orders to purchase provisions for the squadron.
Gentlemen from the seat of government say, that when commodore Barron receives the destined reinforcements, he will attempt the bombardment of Tripoli, or make a diversion in favor of the ex-bashaw's operations to regain his authority in Tripoli.
A letter from Washington, says "government has received a long letter from the dethroned Tripolitain Bashaw, in which he informs the President that he has a large force under his command; but being destitute of arms, stores, and money, he is unable to make any attempt to regain his authority in Tripoli.—That he wishes the United States to advance 40,000 dollars, for which he promises upon succeeding to the Beyship, to release all American prisoners in Tripoli—and to repay the money.—He offers as a guarantee, to give possession to the United States, of the strongest post he has at his disposal. Hamet Bashaw it is said has already gained some advantages over the usurper."
THE FRIGATE PHILADELPHIA.
Letter from an American gentleman in the Mediterranean, to his friend in Charleston—Syracuse, Dec. 1, 1803.
Capt. Bainbridge was sent off Tripoli, to cruise for a short time; and for that purpose left Malta in the middle of October; he remained several days without meeting with any success, until the 31st October, when he gave chase to a rebeckque that hoisted Tripoline colours. The rebeckque ran so near the land that Capt. B. gave up the chase, and was standing off shore under easy sail, when the Philadelphia , when he least expected it, ran aground on a bank about 4 or 5 miles to the east of Tripoli, and found himself in 12 feet water forward and 17 aft. He endeavoured a long time, to no

purpose, to get her off; he threw overboard his anchors, guns, and provisions, and, as a last resource, cut away his foremast. The gun-boats no sooner perceived his situation than they got under his stern, and kept up a continual fire for four hours, when captain B. perceiving that it would be impossible to get the ship off, hauled down his colours. They were instantly made prisoners, and carried on shore, and he, with his officers, were confined in the house formerly occupied by the American Consul; the windows opening to the sea were closed up, and captain B. was not allowed to go to the terrace. The allowance of provisions for the officers is eight ounces of bread and a little oil per day. How different was the treatment of those prisoners we had in our power every one of whom was tortured; and they, to reward our goodness, have written to their friends at Tripoli, that they were shamefully abused. The rest of the crew of the Philadelphia, are coupled by a chain, and kept at hard labor. The whole number of prisoners amounts to 307 souls. The Constitution will sail shortly for Tripoli, to endeavor to mitigate in some measure the situation of our unfortunate officers and men. It will cost government an immense sum to ransom them.
MARTINSBURG, May 4.
It is probable that there never was a crisis in which the inhabitants of the seaboard of America, whether natives or sojourners, had such cause to look impatiently for intelligence from Europe, as that in which we now write. He who views the struggles between England and France only for his amusement or idle speculation, and contemplates the war as a mere looker on, just at the people went to the amphitheatre of old to see gladiators fight upon "the Bloody Arena," will be on fidgets to hear of the promised invasions taking place. The merchant who sits blowing his fingers in storeless stores, for want of the accustomed commerce which once kept them busily employed, will be looking with aching eyes for a glimpse of peace, or else will more rationally be on the tiptoe of expectation to hear that war has been declared between England and Spain, in which case the streets of Charleston will again resound with the busy hum of trade, and the draymen be kicking up their old dusts on our wharves. The Jacobin with pallid malignity in every lineament of his countenance, and his pointed glistening eye looking a thousand murders, will be cursing the moment that delayed to destroy forever, or give full gratification to his hell born hopes, by the repulse of Bonaparte's invasion, or the ruin of the last bulwark of human hope, England; while the heart of the honest man, the patriot, and the moralist, will beat with ten fold quickness and force, in anxiety to hear of the overthrow of that scourge of the world, the despotism of the consular government.
For our parts we contemplate the state of things in Europe as they stood when the last news came away, with stronger emotions than any we have ever experienced, and our anxiety during the interval between this and the next accounts we shall receive will be proportionably great. These emotions, however, are far from being unpleasant. Hope and doubt mixed with awe compose them. The tyrant chance, who so often overrules the predispositions of human wisdom, and defeats the greatest exertions of human strength, may in an unlucky hour, sweep away before it the cheering prospects which the rising dawn of the last intelligence has opened to our view, and leave not a vestage of it, no not even hope itself, behind. But if things take their course according to the probabilities which reasoning from the past to the future we have a right to infer will take place, the time cannot be far off when something to sooth and cheer us after the dreary waste through which we have for four years been traveling, will be heard from the other side of the Atlantic. Readers! we are all men, and nothing that concerns the condition of our fellow creatures can be indifferent to us. Who is there among us so base as not to repine at the misery and rejoice at the happiness of any portion of our fellow beings, no matter of what country, condition, sect, or opinion they may be? Who is there so lost to all sentiment of feeling, honor, humanity, or justice, as not to hang the head with indignant sorrow at the condition for years past of the people of Ireland or not to rejoice with exceeding joy at that kind of negative happiness which a relief from unjust restraints and gross tyranny will afford
them. If there be any such, let them gnash their teeth with rage, while we announce our well grounded persuasion that every thing which humanity and sound policy, measuring retribution with no churlish hand can do for that ill-fated country, will be done without delay on the accession of George IV. to the throne of England.
There was a time when the emancipation of the Roman Catholicks in Ireland was a favorite object with George III. when he was pleased to declare openly that he believed the British throne had no more loyal and faithful subjects than they; and when he held out the flattering language of "rights" to them. They returned his dispositions with correspondent gratitude, and in the over-heated zeal which distinguishes that people in every cause or action they espouse, they would maintain it right or wrong that he was in his heart a catholick. Simple souls! measuring all merit by the scale of their own faith, and deducing their opinions rather from their wishes than their reason, they would have it that so very good a man must necessarily be a Roman catholick. There is every reason to believe that at the time his late ministers gave a formal pledge to the people of Ireland that the catholicks should be fully emancipated if a union was agreed to, the King himself was sincere; but some of the Bishops of the Church of England, inflamed with a frenzied zealotry that would almost have disgraced Lord George Gordon himself, alarmed for the monopoly of their Church, and instigated and aided, no doubt, by the old curse of the English cabinet, continued to pour their barbarous sophistry into the ears of the old King, whose mind, whatever might have been its natural vigour, was not at all strengthened by the excessive zeal he entertained in the subject of religion; and actually did continue to persuade him that doing justice to the Roman Catholicks of Ireland, would be a damnable breach of his coronation oath.
Thus was an act of justice, humanity, nay, common gentlemanly honor (the performance of a positive promise) declined, to avoid the constructive violation of an oath, which from the spirit, tenour, and every letter of it, must have been broken every time an act of injustice has been done to any portion of the people. In short those pious souls breathing forth the fire of hell, not the balmy blessings of heaven, so worked upon the king's mind that he conceived a most implacable aversion to popery, papists and Irishmen. In the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, after the peasantry about Bantry Bay marched down in a body, armed with such arms as they could add to nature, to repel the French invaders, a Mr. Nugent brought forward an after piece in Covent Garden, called, "Bantry Bay," and designed to throw a light upon the character and disposition of that people, to exhibit them in their true colours to the people of England, the king attended at the representation, and more than any one in the house applauded the piece, though it was a panegyric on the Irish from beginning to end. How soon and how much he was made to alter his mind, the world has now before it.
[Charleston Courier.]
Our Bourdeaux papers by the ship Commerce, (says the New-York mercantile Advertiser,) are to the 13th of March, and are wholly uninteresting. The captain confirms the intelligence in our last number, that General Pichegru has been arrested. He adds, that the police had apprehended Joyan, the companion of Georges; and that the latter would not, in all probability, escape the vigilance of Government. The embargo which had been laid on all vessels in the French ports, on the promulgation of the conspiracy against Bonaparte, was taken off a few days previous to the sailing of the Commerce.
The subsequent paragraph is copied from the Phila. American Daily Advertiser of the 28th ult.
"Capt. Kelly, arrived from Amsterdam, informs, that Generals Moreau and Pichegru had both been tried and condemned; he had not heard of their execution; on the trial several letters were produced, and Moreau asked if they were his writing, which he denied—saying, "whenever his hand writing was shown him, he could not deny it." Captain K. adds—that the French general Mortemont, had taken command of the Batavian troops, whose officers were said to be much dissatisfied.
It appears that much dissatisfaction prevails at New-Orleans in consequence of the conduct of the general govern-
ment, and particularly in regard to the vote of the Senate relative to the traffic in slaves. A meeting of the citizens was held on the 14th of March, in which much warmth of temper was evinced, and violent measures proposed. It was finally agreed to appoint a committee to draft an address of remonstrance to congress on the affairs of the territory generally. [Phila. Gaz.]
The following paragraph respecting the force to be sent into the Mediterranean for the purpose of bringing up our lee way, as the sailors say, is taken from a New-York paper. In addition to the information which it contains, we are authorised to state that the ships are so rotten as to be unfit for sea, and that one hundred carpenters, with their implements, are now on their way from New-York to Washington at the public expense, for the purpose of repairing them. [U. States Gaz.]
NAVY. The vessels intended to reinforce the American Squadron in the Mediterranean, are
The President, of 44 guns, Commodore S. Baron,
The United States, 44 guns, Capt. Jas. Barron,
Congress, 36 guns, Capt. John Rogers,
Constellation, 38 guns, Capt. Isaac Chauncy.
The squadron at present in the Mediterranean, consists of the Constitution, 44 guns Capt. Preble Argus (brig) 18 Lieut. Hull Syren do 18 Stewart Enterprise 16 Decatur Nautillus, 16 Sumner Vixen, 14 Smith
The whole will be under the command of commodore S Baron, the senior captain, and the most active measures we understand are pursued for bringing this injurious warfare to a speedy termination.

A NEW SONG, TO AN OLD TUNE, CALLED
THE ENGLISH COUNTRY DANCE.
FRENCHMEN? since you're fond of dancing,
We will give you many a Ball— To meet you, we're advancing; Then obey our music's call, Calais is a step from Dover, Strike up, let the Dance begin, Yet, though eager to cross over, Ye shall never figure in.
For our Balls when ye are riper, And ye dance upon the waves; We shall see who pays the piper, As ye sink in watry graves! Gallie Cock-boats, dread our thunder! They who're footing on the sea, Are not slaves whose God is plunder, But who fight for LIBERTY!
If our gallant tars escaping, Some should land upon our shore— Then instead of fiddles scraping, Deep-ton'd instruments shall roar. Then with light bells, nimbly capering, Ye shall skip till out of breath, And the cadence to this vapouring, Shall be Holbein's Dance of Death.
To your threats of proud invading, While your movements ye prolong, Frenchmen! Such our serenadings! Such the Burden of our Song! And in Chorus oft repeated, Echo shall resound this strain: "BRITAIN on a rock is seated" "Her's the Empire of the Main!"
BY virtue of a decree of the County Court of Berkeley in chancery, rendered in a case wherein Matthew Porterfield was complainant and Robert Hastings defendant, will be offered for sale at public auction, for ready money, on Saturday the 12th instant, on the premises, all that part of Lot No. 12, and Lot No. 31, lying and being in the town of Martinsburg, conveyed to Robert Hastings by Frederick Snyder; also, one Lot No. 234, lying on the North of Martin street, conveyed by the trustees of the town of Martinsburg to said Hastings; also Lot No. 119, at the intersection of German and Martin streets, at the North side of Martin street and east side of German street, conveyed by the trustees.
