THERE is hardly an object which nature offers to our view, an incident occurs, or a circumstance attendant upon our condition here below which will not afford to a well thinking mind abundant evidence, not only of the sagacity and vanity of this life, but of the utter incapacity of man in his present state of existence for perfect enjoyment. Which-
ever way we turn our eyes, in whatever direction we attempt to act or to enjoy, we find ourselves limited by some near and insuperable barrier, erected by our all-wise Creator to stop our progress, and to admonish us if we regard that little portion of happiness of which we are capable, to keep back and not suffer our efforts, our hopes, or even our wishes on this earth to ramble beyond the limits he has prescribed. In the exercise of our very virtues we are circumscribed by the laws and conditions of our nature, by which it is ordained that the highest virtues themselves when carried to excess, degenerate into vices; and the share of earthly blessings which it has pleased God to allow us here, are found to be dangerous when misused exactly in proportion as they are beneficial and conducive to happiness when managed with discretion, and enjoyed with humility, thankfulness and moderation.
Of all the blessings which man is permitted by Providence to confer upon himself by virtue and wisdom, or cast away by vice and improvidence, Liberty is the greater; it is that without which, all the other advantages of life are scanty, dull and insecure, and possessing of which man can endure the greatest degree of worldly privations. But it is at the same time above all others the most deceitful and treacherous. It makes its most ardent lovers its worst victims, and wheedles them into the most eager pursuit only for the purpose of more completely vanishing from their sight forever. It may be called the vine of life, which, so long as men use it with moderation, invigorates and renders them cheerful and sociable, but taken to excess produces intoxication, madness and ultimate ruin. In short, like wine it is capable of producing the greatest benefits or the greatest mischiefs; and those benefits and mischiefs depend wholly upon the use that is made of it.
The history of mankind is so replete with proofs of the truth of these propositions, that they will appear to many to be too evident to require insisting upon. Yet evident as they are, we see every new generation rushing into and acting upon contrary opinions before those who have gone before have had time to avail themselves of the conviction received from experience, and to act in conformity to it; so that, obvious as the truth of them may seem, it is still necessary to remind the world of them continually, and to warn society of the danger they incur by not attending to them.
Irksome as the task is to us, and much as it afflicts us to have to say we cannot play the traitor to our duty so far as to withhold from the people, the sad, the horrible truth, that they are at this moment in the direct high road to the extinction of their real liberties, by pursuing with all the frantic eagerness of "Youth in the Chase," illusory phantoms in the pursuit of which the hell-hound hunsman of Democracy, with their train of hallooing whippers in, urge them forward with all their art and ability. Every day produces some new circumstances to intimate to them their danger. Every day some new instance of those who for a time in error, were hot in the pursuit; but who convinced of their danger have drawn in their reins, and now turn their back upon the hunt.
The views of the party now in power begin to develop themselves so fully, that none but those who labour under mental incapacity or wilful blindness; who are too blind to see or too corrupt to lay their private views and interests at the feet of truth and patriotic virtue; can fail to discern them or refrain from opposing their progress. The suspicions that were raised against the federal ministers of the government, but which never could be substantiated, are now brought home, embodied into certainties against the present administration, by some of the wisest and ablest of their own friends and advocates. The popularity of that party, and the cunning and deep concerted design with which they are making use of it to entrench themselves in power, burst from their disguise in full unblushing face upon the public sight; and among the most wise, the most virtues, and patriotic members of the antifederal side the alarm has for some time been begun. We hope not
too late—We hope that there is not yet in the official composition of our state, as in other countries, materials left to make a bulwark of corruption strong enough to bid defiance to the country's best and truest friends. We think not. It is only by their own folly and submission to the delusive tricks of the demagogues of a faction, that the people can be undone.
It may be remembered, that the first of the antifederal body who took the alarm at the rapid progress which the Jeffersonian party was making to entrench itself immovably in power, was Mr. Burr, the Vice President. The alarm which he received, he returned back upon the nation with tenfold interest. At a great meeting he had the tenerity , to give as his toast, " The union of all honest men. " And straight an universal clamour and uproar was raised against him as a traitor to the party—a tergiversator, and the enemy of their kind of liberty, and their honest views.
"The universal host up sent A shout, that tore Hell's concave and beyond. Frighted the reign of Chaos and old Night."
This first open detection of the designs of the party seemed only to whet their appetite for power; to stimulate to more numerous and decisive acts of encroachment on the constitution, and to render them more anxious and active in throwing up the mounds which their power and popularity, and the blind, mistaken zeal of the people in their cause, gave them hopes of being able to erect, in order to secure themselves in a fixed and perpetual aristocracy, which no accident nor change of circumstances should ever be able to overthrow. In proportion as things pressed them, they grew more malignant to all who opposed them, and perhaps no man ever underwent more gross, more unjust, or more villainous abuse than the second magistrate of the Union. Washington scarcely received more calumny and insolent invective from the agents of the party than did Mr. Burr, for daring to express his dislike of the proceedings of government, or to insult them by drinking, " The union of all honest men. "
At length some others of the more enlightened of the Anti-Federal party took the alarm also. They plainly discerned that in power proceeded by forced marches forward to the perpetration of their grand design—the forming a consolidated unshakable aristocracy through the medium of the lowest species of democratic influence. Governor M c Kean, the supremacy of whose wisdom and talents all admit; whose republican principles none can doubt; and of whose vigorous and undaunted spirit the Union has had demonstrable evidence—he has fallen back, and the mob of Pennsylvania influenced and headed by their jacobin incendiary demagogues, are at drawn daggers with him. Governor Mercer, of Maryland, too, has followed his example, and erected a standard in the spirit of Mr. Burr's offensive toast ; to bring about an " union of honest men. " Well may the faction exclaim in fright, " omen haud bonum. "
To the people of this and the contiguous States, it would be superfluous to speak of Mr. Butler, the present member in Congress for South Carolina. His conduct in the revolution has established his character as an American patriot; his zeal in the cause of the party to which he since attached himself, mistaken though it may be, precludes all suspicion of his having an ever-venomous democracy. He too, has taken the alarm, and we are convinced that his name will act as a conductor to communicate that alarm with as quick and penetrating effect as that of electrical fire, to the very utmost bounds of Georgia, on one side, and of North Carolina on the other. His opinion of the federal administration, is known by every one to have been extremely unfavourable; yet he has declared that he considers the real views of the present administration to be more pernicious, and their measures more oppressive than those of their predecessors. Carolinians, you who regard the permanence of your freedom, put these words home to your hearts, and remember that they are the words of your chosen representative, Mr. Butler. ( Continued. )

Mr. ALBERT.
WHEN we accuse the democrats of intolerance, in persecuting the Federalists appointed to office by the predecessors of our present Chief Magistrate, we are told that the federal administrations set the example. But what instance do they produce of this? Can they allude to Randolph and Monroe? I do not recollect any other persons dismissed by Washington: Mr. Jefferson was appointed first Secretary of State, but he resigned it: for what reasons did he do this? Conjecture was on tiptoe at the time, and have assigned two, as the probable cause. —One—that in his correspondence with the French Minister (Genet) in his public, and private capacities, he made use of two different kinds of language, which the Frenchman reproached him with in one of his letters.—The other,—that the letter to Mazuel was written while he was Secretary of State, and might make its appearance in America, while the writer was in possession of a distinguished mark of favour from the man, whose hair was said, in that letter, to be shorn by the whore of England, which would make ingratitude appear doubly ungrateful.
On the resignation of Mr. Jefferson, Edmund Randolph, another democrat, was appointed to succeed him. This man possessed the confidence of Washington, till the famous intercepted letter written by Fauchet to his government, appeared at Philadelphia. In this letter it was seen, that Randolph had made to the French minister, some precious confessions ; and also, some overtures for money; with something more than a hint, that it was to be applied to aid the insurrection, at that time fomenting by Gallatin, Bradford, and others, in the western counties of Pennsylvania. The citizen minister appeared to lament his poverty on this occasion, as a few thousand dollars would have enabled his government to decide on peace, or war. From hence it appears, that if Randolph had succeeded in his application for money, there is no calculating the quantity of blood that must have been spilt, before these true republicans would have submitted to the constituted authorities of the country they have chosen to call their own. However, when Randolph knew that his secret transactions with Fauchet were thus discovered, and conscious that he deserved, and would be dismissed from his office, he resigned.
Monroe, another democrat, was sent to reside in France, as minister to that government; but when the president perceived, that his conduct was in direct opposition to his instructions, he recalled him. But will any man say that the president discovered any thing like intolerance on this occasion? Monroe was merely dismissed, notwithstanding his conduct in France was such, that had he belonged to any other country, the enlightened republic of France not excepted , his head would have atoned for it. Without enquiring what examples of intolerance can possibly be drawn from the circumstances above mentioned, I will only ask how Mr. Jefferson would have conducted himself in a similar case? Monroe and Randolph were both democrats, and appointed to offices by Washington; and both guilty of high misdemeanors, to say the least; and therefore justly dismissed. But what federal character has Mr. Jefferson appointed to office? On the contrary, has he not dismissed those he found in office, at the time of his inauguration? Has one single instance occurred, where, in his own opinion, the federal characters he has displaced, were guilty of malpractice? Has not Citizen Granger universally borne testimony to the honesty, and integrity of those he has dismissed from the Post-Office department, by subscribing his thanks for their faithful services , to his letters of dismissal? If Mr. Jefferson, and his coadjutor Granger, dismiss federal characters from office, without even a suspicion of infidelity in performing the duties of it, how would they treat those who should dare to act in direct opposition to positive instructions, or intrigue with an English minister, to disturb the peace of the nation, and render the administration unpopular? Instead of a simple dismissal, we should see them calling for legislative vengeance on the criminal, in the shape of impeachments. I think therefore, that on every principle of justice, they ought to take to themselves the merit, or demerit of their own actions, without alledging the precedents of their predecessors, in justification of their conduct, when at the same time, they are conscious, that the allegation is not founded in truth.
During the administration of Mr. A-
dam, few, if any democrats were appointed to office; nor is it to be wondered at; since it was notorious to him, and the whole Union, that the best selections his predecessor could make from that party, especially in Virginia, had been weighed in a balance, and were found wanting. However, in this administration the democrats clamoured so much about liberty, and the embezzlement of public money, that the people began to suspect the federal officers of government, with Mr. Adams at their head, to be little better than thieves and tyrants; at least they would change our republican government, into a monarchy. They asserted on the authority of stolen records , that Mr. Pickering had plundered the treasury of upwards of 100,000 dollars; but will they now join issue with us in any of these particulars? Do they continue to propagate this false calumny, which, although they did not believe themselves, they hoped by reiterating it, that the people would believe them, till the purpose was effected, for which it was first intended, when it might be suffered to die away, as of no further use? To the honour of that officer, by an investigation into his conduct, by his enemies themselves, it was found, that the United States were 14,000 dollars richer by the able manner in which he negotiated the payment of a foreign debt; this sum therefore he could have applied to his own use, without the loss of a cent to the United States, or any diminution of his honesty, or integrity. Has any other federal officer been convicted of fraud? No.—Unfortunately for democracy, in every case of embezzlement of public money, it has been done by democrats. Randolph is sued for 51,000 dollars, of public money unaccounted for; and a noli prosequi only, can save him from ruin. Edward Livingston was appointed district attorney for the district of New-York, by Mr. Jefferson; and it is said, he has absconded, and left a judgement against him for 70,000 dollars, which his securities (if he has any) must pay, or the United States must lose it. These are remarkable instances of fraud; one of the men selected by Washington, and was probably thought one of the best of the party; and who can doubt that Mr. Jefferson, in selecting the other, did not take time, and seek information respecting his honesty and integrity; and found him every way qualified for the office: nor could he imagine, that so good a republican, would misapply a cent of public money that should come into his hands by virtue of it? But alas! the heart of man, who can know it? It is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. Our citizen Post-Master too, has been unfortunate in an appointment he had made in upper Marlboro in Maryland. Citizen foreigner in Prince George's County, had been busy at elections, and clamoured much for Jefferson ; he was rewarded with the above mentioned Post-Office; however after some time, he thought proper to show his employer a fair pair of heels; nor let it be supposed he had not more sense, than to leave any part of the proceeds of the office behind him.
Mr. Jefferson is peculiarly happy in the art of making patriots. No sooner does a scape gallows, or renegado from Europe, touch our shores, than by an easy figure he becomes a first rate patriot. There is only one way that I can account for this; their intellects, although not superior to other men, enable them to discover, that the liberal mind of our executive, is too expanded to be confined within the limits of his own country, in search of proper persons to perform the duties of its subordinate offices. Hence it is (I believe) that this class of people feel an inviolable attachment to the present administration; and because, a slight acquaintance with the character of his predecessor convinced them, that they might have vociferated Adams and liberty, to the end of the chapter, without an opportunity to show the dexterity, with which they could apply the proceeds of an office, to their own use. An independent judiciary, twenty years ago, was universally thought essential to the security of republican liberty; and hence the solicitude of the framers of the constitution, to secure the independence of the Judiciary in the United States. And however a federal legislature might, through inadvertence, transcend the limits of the constitution, in the exercise of their legislative functions, they left the Judiciary in full possession of their constitutional authority to pronounce the nullity of such an act. But our republicans teach us another doctrine. They teach us that the legislative, is paramount to every other authority; and lest the Judiciary should be a check on their legislative career, they have destroyed its independence, and thereby,
in the emphatical language of Judge Tucker, made the most dangerous schism in the government of the United States. They have broken the balance, so wisely settled by the constitution, and opened a door for the admission of that tyranny, that destroyed nearly two millions of people in France, during the anarchy of Brissot, and Robespierre. The judges of the revolutionary tribunal, dependent on the legislative body, gave sentence on those that were denounced by that fanatic assembly, at the risk of their heads; and often without any trial at all; and now that miserable country is governed by a foreign usurper, who is graciously pleased to let them enjoy as much liberty, as the bayonet, or the dread of a trip to Cayenne is unable to restrain. However, as the people of these states, are not of so impetuous a spirit as the French, it may be some time before they will experience the tyranny that made that unhappy country bleed at every pore; but the foundation is laid in the destruction of the balance of government, and the alterations contemplated in the constitution, if effected, will commence the superstructure.
If republicanism be a government of despotism, I will agree that the democrats have the best title to the name of republicans; but if it be a government for securing the liberty, and promoting the happiness of the people, it remains for them to consider, whether those who formed our republican constitution, and have constantly manifested the highest veneration for it, and laboured to preserve its provisions in their full vigour, be not the truest republicans, and most entitled to their confidence. Notwithstanding this has been the constant practice of federalists, with the sole view of promoting the peace and happiness of the people, they are called by the democrats, a minor faction ; but for my own part, when I consider the great and disinterested services of Washington during our revolutionary war; his zeal for the honor and happiness of his country, manifested in disbanding the army, who, under his command, had achieved its independence; and whose confidence in their commander in chief, displayed on this momentous occasion, was so firmly established, that with a very little intrigue, he could have seized the government into his own hands; when I reflect that his unambitious mind resigned the highest honours his country could bestow upon him, at a time when he well knew that no man in the U. States could supplant him in the love of the people; that his virtues have called forth panegyrics from every quarter of the Globe;—and that his enemies acknowledge that his name is destined to fill the fairest page in faithful history ; I say, when I reflect on all this, I feel a pride in believing myself to possess political principles, in unison with those, from which so much substantial good to my country, has flowed. And since the democrats, out of their superabundant malice, think proper to abuse us with the epithet minor faction , it is a great consolation to me, that I suffer it in company with the most splendid talents, exalted virtue, and incorruptible integrity, America has to boast of.
ALFRED.
Our readers are presented with a very interesting article of foreign news under the Petersburg head below. It appears to be the policy of our present administration, if not to go to war with Great Britain, at least to come very near it, and to blow up the embers of resentment, which some other administration after them will have to extinguish by great concessions, or suffer their country and its commerce to be involved in the flames of war. such it was long since predicted would be the case, whenever the renewal of the British treaty should be entered into between Mr. Jefferson and that country; and this, like many other predictions of the federalists concerning this man, is but too likely to be fulfilled.
The paper from which the above mentioned foreign news is taken says "A member of the legislature has received a letter from Col. Mercer, who accompanied Col. Monroe to Europe, stating that there was every prospect of an immediate peace between France and Great Britain; that there would be a change of ministry in England—Sheridan and Fox coming in—and that Buonaparte had determined to settle down the government of France upon true Republican principles."

PETERSBURG, January 13. IMPORTANT. The Editors of the Intelligencer have
been politely handed a London paper of November 12th, (The Morning Post) received by the ship Protectress, arrived at City Point, containing the following important article, in relation to the twelfth article of the treaty between this country and Great Britain, which had expired, agreeably to the provisions of the treaty. We hasten to lay it before our readers, not doubting it will receive the serious attention of every friend to the commercial interests of the country.
London November 12.
COMMERCE WITH AMERICA.
While the attention and activity of government appear to be wholly engrossed by invasive preparations of the enemy, and by the preparatory measures on our own part to meet and frustrate them; and while the thoughts and anxiety of the nation at large seem exclusively to be intent on this more than gigantic and impending peril, other topics of great commercial interest, and high political consequence, must naturally intermix and blend themselves with these more ponderous considerations, though, for the moment, they may be overlooked by the public, or emerge altogether in the sea of difficulties, by which we are threatened more immediately to be overwhelmed. The renewal of hostilities between France and Great Britain has naturally furnished the rivals and the enemies of either power to avail themselves of the difficulties in which such an event must necessarily involve the two principal belligerents. Nations, like individuals, will eagerly seize on every favorable occasion to promote their respective interests, and to remove every obstacle and embarrassment by which they may in more inauspicious times have been obstructed and depressed. Thus, since the breaking out of a French war with France, several treaties have been demanded, entered into, and negotiated between Great Britain and the northern powers principally relating to the privileges of neutrals, the right of search, and the contraband of war.—Whatever difficulties might have arisen from these discussions, we have had reason to hope, not only that they were removed, but that new advantages and facilities have been obtained in our favor. Of this the late treaty with Sweden is a satisfactory instance. But as we imagined ourselves thereby to be more disentangled from our perplexities, we seemed little to expect that difficulties and disagreements would have arisen up in a quarter from whence we were more inclined to flatter ourselves with friendship and favour than to dread enmity and obstruction. Little did we seem to expect (by W.E. we mean the PUNZ. etc.) that at the present moment so big with other dangers, from a far other and more formidable foe, the attention and exertions of government should be distracted by any unreasonable or unreasonable claims on the part of America. Yet little as the public at large seem now to be aware of it; perhaps upon no topic is the mind of government more detained and urged at the present moment than on the revision, principally of the twelfth article of the treaty of Amity, Commerce, &c. &c. between his Majesty and the United States of America, concluded in 1794, and conditionally ratified in 1795. The general stipulations of that treaty are too numerous and diffused now to admit of detailed examination; but the spirit and tendency of the whole treaty almost wholly rested, more especially as to its future consequence, upon the twelfth article of which, for the convenience and satisfaction of our readers we now insert the following copy:
[Here follows the twelfth article of Mr. Jays's treaty, prescribing the mode in which commerce is to be carried on between the United States and the British West India Islands.]
The 12th article contains nearly the same stipulation respecting the trade of America in the sea ports and harbours of the British territories in the East Indies. It has already been observed, that the 12th article formed the main hinge upon which was to turn the future force and execution of this treaty, which fully appears from
Art. 28.—"It is agreed that the first ten articles of this treaty shall be permanent, and that the subsequent articles, except the twelfth, shall be limited in their duration to twelve years, to be computed from the day on which the ratifications of this treaty shall be exchanged, but fully subject to this condition—that whereas the said twelfth article will expire, by the limitation therein contained, at the end of two years from the

signing of the preliminary, or other article of peace, which shall terminate the present war in which his majesty is engaged, it is agreed, that proper measures shall, by concert, be taken for bringing the subject of that article into amicable treaty and discussion, so early before the expiration of the said term, as that new arrangements on that head may at that time be perfected, and ready to take place; but if it should unfortunately happen, that his majesty and the United States, should not be able to agree on such new arrangements, in that case, all the articles of this treaty, except the first ten, shall then cease and expire together."
This is the unfortunate issue which the above article seemed to have in perspective, and which constitutes the principal ground of the discussion in which we understand that ministers are now deeply engaged. Under any other circumstances, the points in dispute might be easily adjusted; but when so many other more momentous concerns are at stake, and when we know that the craft, malice, and intrigue of our great enemy will continually and anxiously blow their pestilential breath on every little sore that may break out in the body of any other state, till they fester and inflame it into acrimonious virulence, we may easily imagine how much they endeavor to irritate the temper of the United States; of themselves, perhaps, too sanguinely disposed to deceive or extort advantages from the present perplexities and perilous posture of British affairs. The renewal of this treaty, we are credibly informed, has for some time back formed a principal object of the discussions of the consular cabinet, and is now under the serious consideration of the government of this country. The American government is said to hold the most lofty and menacing language respecting their just pretensions. They strongly remonstrate against any restriction or limitation whatever, either on their trade, or the amount of their tonnage; the arguments they urged to enforce a compliance with their demands are backed by threats which we can never imagine they would seriously attempt to carry into effect. Indeed these threats are of a nature which prudence persuades us from detailing, but which would seem to aim a severe blow at the general commercial interests of this country, and which would prove fatal to the commercial existence of many respectable individuals. It is well known that the trade of America, in West India and East India articles, with the continent of Europe, most especially with France has of late considerably increased; and in proportion to its growing prosperity, will they naturally be anxious to enlarge it, or at least to preserve it undiminished and unrestrained.
Such a disposition on their part, their obvious interests must prompt them to entertain; it is for us to examine how far it may be reconcilable with ours. Mr. Monroe is said to have received fresh instructions from his government to press this point with every possible urgency; nor are his exertions and discretion solely to be relied on; but another negotiator, we believe, a Mr. Lane is expected soon to arrive from America, in order to give additional force and activity to the pending negotiation. Ministers will no doubt feel the importance of continuing to maintain a friendly understanding with the United States; but as their coolness and moderation will no doubt admonish them against any harsh or violent extremity, so also are we inclined to hope that their energy and frankness will preserve them from any unwarthy condescension, or pusillanimous concession.
The following is copied from one of our latest London papers:
"A Cabinet was held on Friday and Saturday which sat for several hours each day. The subject of deliberation was supposed to be the discussions pending between this country and America, relative to the construction of the 12th Article of the treaty of Commerce concluded between his Majesty and the United States in 1794. By this article the Americans are restricted from trading to any of our ports or settlements in vessels above the burthen of 70 tons. They now strongly remonstrate against any restriction or limitation whatever, and it is said they hold very lofty language respecting their pretensions. This subject, we understand, occupies at present much of the attention and anxiety of Ministers. Upon a question of such delicacy and importance, we forbear at present to make any comment. It is one, however, which involves, not only the existence of many respectable individuals, but even the general commercial interest of this country."
The following is from the London Evening Post of the 12th November:
"Some difficulties of a commercial nature, relative to the trade of the West India Islands, are now under the consideration of Ministers; but we have little doubt that every thing will be easily adjusted to the satisfaction of both nations; we, however, think, that if America be very immediate and urgent at the present, it is both indecorous and unfair, as a nation engaged in defending its existence, as we are, ought not to be pressed by a friendly power on any subject that is of a nature to admit of delay which must be the case with every commercial regulation."
NEW-YORK, January 30.
LATE FROM EUROPE.
We are indebted to the politeness of capt. Congar, of the ship Enterprise, in 60 days from Cork, who will be pleased to accept our acknowledgements, for a variety of Irish prints to the 29th of November, containing London dates to the 20th inclusive, several days later than any hitherto received. The interesting subject of the invasion, that has so long engrossed the undivided attention of Great Britain, is still undecided, and continues to excite the most anxious solicitude. Whilst the presence of the First Consul, and the active preparations along the coast of France, threaten the rapid approach of an awful crisis, the unremitting measures for defence on the side of Great Britain set at defiance every possibility of a successful attack. From the advanced period of the season, it is rational to conjecture, that the menaced invasion will be suspended until spring, with a view to operate, not only on the fear of the English nation, but to divert the attention of its subjects from the arts of peace, and by compelling them to become soldiers instead of artisans, to undermine its manufacturing interests and commercial prosperity, and thereby diminish its national consequence in the scale of empire. The opinion of the Journalists on the continent seem to favour the idea that the real views of the French government are directed towards the Levant. This is not improbable, and the menaced invasion may be only a feint to divert the attention of England. Her fleets in the Mediterranean are, however, by no means contemptible, and it will not be very easy for the French to elude their vigilance. Notwithstanding some rewards that are offered for the apprehension of old offenders, Ireland appears to enjoy considerable tranquillity.
LONDON, November 18.
A cartel arrived at Plymouth, has brought intelligence that when she left Marlaix on the 15th at night, it was understood there, that the First Consul was at Boulogne with his own regiments, and that he was to head the expedition in person.
November 20.
Government has received, during the last week, some important communications on the subject of the threatened invasion which accounts for the protracted period of making an attempt. Among other causes we learn that the numerous boats which have been built on the Loire, La Villaine, the Gironde, the Rhone, and generally throughout the Western and Southern Departments of France, for this enterprise, have not been assembled at the appointed places, owing in a great measure to the vigilance of our cruizers. Some of these vessels which were unfinished, have been countermanded, and the departments, &c. have been required to contribute the amount of their subscriptions in clothing, or otherwise, as it was not intended to wait the equipment of their craft. This delay should not induce any relaxation on our part—the greater our preparation, the less will be our danger. When the Roman army, which the Emperor Claudius assembled in France, under the order of Plautius, for the invasion of England, refused to embark, the Britons on being informed of the mutiny, intermitted in the measures they were taking to defend the coast, withdrew their forces: The army of Plautius soon after returned to its obedience, landed without opposition, and obtained an easy victory over the unprepared islanders.
It would be fortunate for France and for humanity if this interval induced Bonaparte to reflect on his enterprise, but like Macbeth, he "in blood step'd in so far, that should he wade no more, returning were as tedious as to go o'er."
MARTINSBURG, February 10.
A POST OFFICE has been established at Mill Creek, in this County, and Mr. Joshua Peppers appointed its Post-Master.
Mr. Bogg will preach at Tusquerora Meeting House on Sunday next, at 12 o'clock, and on the same day at 3 o'clock, P. M. in Martinsburg.
All the force of democracy is now in requisition to abuse Mr. Tracy, of Connecticut. So much the better. It demonstrates more strongly than any thing else the irresistability of his arguments against the alteration of the constitution; as instead of refuting them they are reduced to the necessity of attacking them.
Port Plaquemine and the Balize were taken possession of by the American troops on Wednesday the 28th Dec. at which time several detachments were preparing to leave New-Orleans for the Upper Western country.
H. B. Trial is appointed collector of the Customs of the district of Mississippi, exercising the powers of General Superintendent of the public revenue of the province of Louisiana.
In Congress, January 30.
Mr. Dawson presented a memorial from the inhabitants of George Town, in opposition to one some time since presented, and praying for the establishment of a bridge across Potomac from the lower part of the city to a point on the opposite shore; which was read and referred to a select committee appointed on that subject.
Mr. Leib said, we had heard much lately about the independence of the Judges; that it had been a theme within the walls of this house, and the subject of animated discussion without them. To the NATIONAL independence of the Judiciary, he professed himself a friend, and to evince his sincerity he begged leave to submit to the consideration of the House the following resolution:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of providing by law against the appointment of Judges of the Courts of the U. States to other offices of the government.
Our city, especially Market-street, exhibited a lively scene yesterday and to-day, from the incessant passing and re-passing of sleighs and four! ! ! ! sleighs and two! ! ! ! and sleighs and one! ! ! The younger part of our nation were, as customary on such occasions, insolent, troublesome and dangerous, with their snow-balls. Madame Bonaparte, we understand, was thrown at and struck by a ball, for the perpetrator of which her husband, it is said, has offered a reward of 500 dollars. The evil certainly requires a remedy, and several lads, we learn, have been taken up by the constables. [Balt. Gaz.]
Late New-Province papers state, that "Letters from Jamaica mention that Gen. Rochambeau, Commodore Barney, and part of the French St. Domingo army, have been sent to England."
A letter from Kingston, Jamaica, dated Dec. 6, says:—"We have just learnt by the Revolutionnaire frigate, arrived this morning from Portsmouth, (E.) that Admiral Luioie and his whole squadron have been captured by the English in the East-Indies, on their passage to take possession of Pondicherry."

THE DREAM.
VISION of bliss! yet stay, ah stay! Why on swift wing didst thou away? Why to my throbbing heart restore The cherub form I still adore; Then inuous, from my eager sight, Shroud it in shades of deepest night? 'Twas but a dream—be still my heart! Caus'd by distemper'd fancy's art. Who, fondly turning to the past, Wrought the dear chasm too fair to last, Swifter than thought it glides away— Delusive bliss one moment stay: Dream of delights, yet once again Return and soothe regret's fond pain. Restore again that laughing eye Ting'd with heaven's pure cerulean dye, That bloomy cheek, so soft and fair, Elysium's ewes seem a treasur'd there: Of auburn hair the wavy shade Which o'er her snowy forehead play'd: The scarlet lip, th' endearing smile, The polish'd form, th' enchanting smile: All that a mother's heart could charm Or with fond pride her bosom warm. Soft power of sleep, thy lethæa dews O'er ev'ry willing sense effuse. The substance lost, oh! give the shade: Let no rude noise again intrude. Fair as in life, my arms she blest, Bring the bright vision to my rest. Since dreams are all I dare to hope, Oh! give the dear illusion scope, Again the fancied bliss restore, Benignant power, I ask no more.

FARMERS ATTEND.
MANY of you having very frequently applied to the subscriber (he being in the habit of trading to the Northward) to bring a covering horse of the Eusopus breed, which you so much (and not without just cause) admire, he therefore being induced from interest, as well as having a natural disposition to accommodate, has procured one of that stock, which he flatters himself will please.—
