Mr. BACHE.
Mr. Madison's famous commercial resolutions had not a single commercial man to advocate them in Congress. No wonder, therefore, that your paragraph writers, who have lately attempted to detain them on their way to oblivion, discover in their comments, no less ignorance than presumption. As the men of trade and business neither contrived nor defended them, the system mongers and spinners of sophistry ought to have credit for their sincerity in error. It is but candid to allow that the absurdity of their creed was no less remarkable than the sliminess of their preaching.
The first dogma of the self-sufficient reformers who promised to turn the trade of the world upside down, was, that we could starve the British West Indies. By waging a war of regulations our magicians pretended a power to bind the rival nations in chains at our feet—to humble the proud and disarm the strong, provided always they would not play unfair, and change the game from manufests and shipping papers to powder and ball.
No body said, or thought, the West Indies could do as well without us with our supplies. That was not the point:—Messrs. Smith Ames and others maintained that they would not be put to the trial of doing without them. They would go to their market, though by indirect ways. That before they would starve they would try their best to raise supplies in the islands, to import, though at a dearer rate from the Baltic, and some would be obtained from the remaining British colonies, which if our rivalry were removed, would then rise from the ground.
The conclusion was that the project would fail of producing starvation, and if it should, the shrewd system of restrictions would recoil upon ourselves, with loss and aggravation (both in degree and duration) of the existing evils attending the intercourse, supposing it should not bring a war on our heads.
What is there in the memorial of the West India planters that does not harmonize with these ideas?
Your paragraphist has a right to his feurillu but none for his conclusions.
A CITIZEN.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
In our sketch of the debate, in the House of Representatives of Congress, on the 16th inst. published in Friday's paper, it was noticed that Mr. S. Smith entered largely into the subject of the revenue, in opposition to Mr. Ames, whose remarks were inserted at length. We now lay before the reader a more complete sketch of the reply of Mr. S. Smith.
Mr. S. SMITH. Mr. Chairman, this resolution on your table reads thus, "Resolved, that there be appropriated out of the revenues a sum not exceeding 600,000 dollars, to be applied to the payment of two dollars on every hundred dollars of the amount of that part of the public debt, which bears an interest of 6 per cent."
The resolution has passed the committee unanimously. On what principle then, does the gentleman (Mr. Ames) pretend to doubt our intention to provide funds to sink that proportion annually, of the public debt? I conceive myself committed, and if I cannot prove that we have resources sufficient, without continuing the laws described in the second resolution, I will, however I dislike them, vote for the resolution. The only subject before the committee, is to provide funds to sink, annually, the 600,000 dollars. The question then resolves itself into this, is the revenue of the United States sufficient to meet the 600,000 per annum, in addition to the ordinary and known expenditures? Or does it stand in need of the assistance of those excises now under consideration? The gentleman says, it requires their assistance, and states an account, when after paying the 600,000 dollars, he leaves a balance of only 126,000 dollars. If the gentleman believes his own statement, he must provide more funds, for surely he would not leave the treasury with only 126,000 dollars to meet contingencies, and to pay off that variety of debt he boasts a desire to discharge. The gentleman will do well to confine himself to the subject in question, that is, to provide for the 600,000. On this subject he has supplied us with useful information. He says that he this morning received a statement from the treasury which makes the net amount of the duties in 1793, on imposts and tonnage, to be 5,500,000 dollars, and that he will always prefer facts to estimates. There we agree. This fact gives 500,000 dollars in favour of my estimate, for I had calculated on five millions only. It was surprising that the gentleman did not make use of other facts, instead of suppositions, which he could have had, without
going to the treasury, viz. In 1793 (his year) the civil list cost 358,241 dollars. The gentleman has charged it at 500,000 dollars. Another fact. In 1793 the military establishment, including pensions, cost 1,212,531 dollars. The gentleman charges that item at 1,500,000 dollars. But, Sir, there is another item of very considerable importance, which the gentleman seems totally to have forgotten that is, an act laying additional duties on goods, wares, and merchandise, passed last session, commenced operation the 1st of July, 1794, and which is estimated, in the report before us, to yield 500,000 dollars, but which I have stated will produce, Dollars, 750,000 Add error in civil list, 141,759 Sum in military establishment, 217,469 Balance made by Mr. Ames, 126,000
1,305,228 makes a balance, after paying the 600,000 dollars, of 1,509,228, from which deduct 380,000 dollars contemplated to be raised (by the excises, and there will remain, for contingencies, and for purchases of the debt, by the gentleman's own system, and surely a good one, of taking facts instead of estimates for our guide) the net sum of 925,228, being about 400,000 dollars more than I had stated. What reason, then, at this time, for continuing those laws longer than their time, lay until June 1797, and the end of the next session thereafter, against which time they will more than pay off the sums for which they stand appropriated. For instance, all the revenues to be raised by laws passed last year, were appropriated to pay fundry sums amounting to 1,293,137 dollars. Two years of the excises in question, are estimated to net 760,000 dollars. One year of the additional duties passed last session, if it yields but 533,000 dollars, will satisfy the whole appropriation on those laws. It has been said, that I have not provided for payment of the bank installments of 200,000 dollars, which must commence in 1796. I answer, that the select committee had not reported on it. I took the documents they had furnished the House, for my government. However, I now answer, that the estimate on your table, shews a balance at the close of the year 1795, of 510,000, with which they may pay two and half years bank installment, if necessary; and if our funds should not be found adequate in 1797, we must either continue those laws then expiring, or supply some other funds; however, I believe that no man can think that the funds will be inadequate. It is said, that I am willing to commit the government for the sum wanted, and to depend on savings to pay. I say that I bring forward solid funds—but I will go farther, and establish the payments by appropriating the revenue arising from the imposts, laid last session, which nobody will doubt being sufficient.
The gentleman from S. Carolina (Mr. W. Smith) has said, and has been supported by a gentleman from Massachusetts, that government having encouraged manufactures by protecting duties, have a fair and just right to lay excises on such manufactures, so as to pay for the revenue that government might have gained, had the articles continued to be imported. This declaration is fair, is candid, and if the system of levying excises upon the manufactures of sugar and snuff should be continued until 1801, then, those who commence any manufactory in future will not have a right to complain, the intention of government being thus made public.—But if this is the system we are to adopt, why not at once lay an excise on all manufacturers where the protecting duty has enabled the manufacturer to exclude importation? Why not lay excises on the following, who have excluded the importing of similar articles, and who equally may be said to have obtained a monopoly of the supply of their respective goods.
Ropemakers, saddlers, bootmakers, shoemakers, tanners, curriers, ship-builders, carvers, cabinet makers, coach makers, and a variety of others.—Or why not lay an excise on the following, who have in many states obtained the same kind of monopoly, viz. sail duck makers, paper makers, nailers, cotton manufacturers, glass makers, hatters, watch and clock makers, brush makers, cheese makers, twine spinners, brewers, and a variety of others. My neighbour (Mr. Goodhue) whispers, because sugar and snuff are luxuries—granted—yet are they considered necessaries by those who use them; and I ask that gentleman whether sugar has not become more necessary to him, than anything that can be furnished by either the carver, cabinet maker, coach maker, cheese maker, or even the brewer.—No, Mr. Chairman, I will tell you the true
reason—because it would have been unpopular and alarming. Begin with two objects called luxuries, whose manufactures are not more than thirty-four in the Union—they are so few they will not be heard. But the precedent once obtained, we can proceed to levy an excise upon all or any other manufacture: for one precedent is worth one hundred fine spun reasons. Sir, the cause of the sugar bakers and snuff makers is that of all and every other manufacturer, for all are attacked through them.
Thursday, January 22r
A bill for reviving certain suits and causes which have been discontinued in the district court of Pennsylvania, was read a third time, and passed.
A bill supplementary to an act making provision for invalids, was read a first and second time, and referred to a committee of the whole on Monday.
The Speaker then read a report from the Committee on the laws relative to lost or destroyed Certificates. It was agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in.
The House then went through the amendments of the committee of the bill for enrolling and licensing vessels in the coasting trade. Ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
It was next moved and agreed, that the committee of the whole House should be discharged from further consideration of the bill, for establishing post-roads. A committee of five members was then appointed to take it into consideration.
A bill for the remission of tonnage duties on certain French vessels, was read in committee of the whole, and agreed to. The Chairman then rose and reported progress. These were vessels which bro't certain settlers from Nova-Scotia, whither they had been carried prisoners by the British, from St. Pierre Miquelon.
A bill was read from the Senate, for representing part of the act for prohibiting the exportation of arms, and encouraging the importation of the same.—The House resolved into a Committee, and went through the bill. It was next read in the House, and a motion was made for referring it to a select committee. This was negatived. The bill was then ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. The meaning of this bill was to permit an exportation of lead. Mr. Fitzsimons said, that there was great plenty of lead in the public stores, so that the occasion for which this part of the bill had been passed, was at an end.
Mr. W. Smith next laid on the table a motion for appointing a select committee to enquire into the propriety of continuing in force or repealing the act for encouraging the importation of arms into this Country. The was put.—Ayes 30, Noes 27. A committee was accordingly appointed.
Mr. Parker then brought in a bill from the select committee, for establishing trading houses with the Indians.—The bill was read a first and second time, and referred to a committee of the whole on Monday.
The House next went into a committee on the report of the select committee, to whom were referred the petitions of sundry persons, praying to be relieved from obligations for the payment of duties on goods which were afterwards destroyed by fire or other accidents, with instructions to consider and report on the policy of remitting duties on goods, wares and merchandise, in cases where such goods, wares and merchandise shall be destroyed by fire or other accidents.
The committee in their report recommended the following resolution, viz. That provision ought to be made by law, authorizing the collector of the district to remit the duties on goods, wares and merchandise imported into the United States, on its being proven to his satisfaction that they had been destroyed by fire or other accident, before they were landed, or after they were landed, and before any removal from the places where they may have been landed, within the district for which they were reported to be destined by the entry of the vessel.
The committee disagreed to this resolution. The chairman reported progress, and the House adjourned.

NEW-YORK, January 22.
It is remarkable what an analogy there has been in the different countries of Europe, between the proceedings of the tyrannical monarchies and those of the popular tyranny of Robespierre and the Jacobins during the short term of their domination in France.
While the ministry of England, the Emperor, King of Prussia, of Sardinia and of Spain, were arresting persons suspected of disaffection to their respective governments, the Jacobins were guillotining or imprisoning those suspected of views unfriendly to their despotism. The same severity was exercised in all, and under the same pretext—"disaffection to men in power."
Thanks to that wisdom which presides over the affairs of this world, some check is given to the tyranny of the British court, as well as to the domination of the Jacobins in France.
Yesterday, we announced the liberation of the learned, the elegant and the venerable Barthelemi from prison where a popular tyrant had confined him for many months. This day we have the pleasure to announce the acquittal of Mr. Hardy, after a lengthy trial by a free and independent Jury. Whether we see virtuous men wrested from the galling chains of ministerial vengeance, or from the rapacious claws of that all-devouring monster, popular despotism, the event must excite the most pleasurable sensations in the breast of every good man. Liberty is always mild, humane and indulgent; tyranny only is suspicious, ferocious and sanguinary.
One Novion, a Frenchman, has published in Boston "The altar of Baal thrown down; or the French nation defended against the pulpit slander of David Osgood—price Ninepence."
"Osgood, stand forth; I dare thee to be tried."
"Is that great Court, where Conscience must preside."
"Novion" is said to be a fictitious signature.
A traveller, who visited Kentucky a few years ago, asserts, that stalks of Indian Corn grew there at the rate of from three inches and an half to four inches & three quarters in 48 hours.
According to Dubois Crance, a member of the National Convention, Robespierre's principal minister, was the daughter of the joiner Duplex. The French under the old government, always submitted the direction of national affairs to women. After the American war, it was gravely asserted and believed in France that Gen. Washington, during the war was under the guidance of a woman.—Stern Republicanism, it seems, has not wholly changed the tone of French manners.
When Fame her trumpet sounded, The vault of heaven resounded, We saw her banners wave on high, And rush'd to conquer or to die, Midst smoke and fire, and groanings dire, Of valiant seamen wounded.
In Freedom's cause to yield our breath, We brave all danger, smile at death; With eager haste her toils pursue, Tho' fire and smoke impede our view; When Fame her trumpet sounded, Our hearts with joy rebounded, By martial ardour fir'd, each eye, Saw vict'ry dropping from the sky; She crown'd each head, and e'en the dead, With laurel wreaths surrounded.

LAST evening Capt. Clark, of the ship Olive Branch, came up to town about eleven this day. He left the Hook Texel Nov. 16, and has Amsterdam since received. We have no opportunity to retail particulars at this late hour, the messenger was taken—that Maestricht was taken as he had heard—that Pease was the order of the day—that Maestricht's ship was towed a wreck into the Texel. He does not inform where the noble Duke is, but the Duke of Brunswick commands.

BOSTON, Monday, January 19. Wednesday last the Legislature of this Commonwealth met at the State-House in this Town; and on Friday, agreeably to Adjournment, His Excellency the Governor met the two Branches in the Representative's Chamber, and delivered ad memoriter , the following.
ADDRESS. I AM happy, Fellow-Citizens, to meet you in General Court assembled, on the day to which according to your request, you have been adjourned. By the Constitution, the Governor, with the advice of the Council, during the session of the General Court, hath full authority to adjourn them to such times as the two branches may judge most convenient.  The people of this Commonwealth in their declaration of rights, have recorded their own opinion, that the Legislature ought frequently to assemble for the redress of grievances, correcting, strengthening and confirming the Laws, and making new Laws, as the common good may require. The Laws of the Commonwealth are intended to secure to each, and all the Citizens, their rights and liberties, and the property which they honestly possess. If there are any instances in which the Laws in being, are inadequate to these great and capital ends, your eye will discern the evil and your wisdom will provide a suitable remedy. It shall be my endeavour, as indeed it is my duty, carefully to revise and readily approve your Bills and Resolves, which may be calculated for the public good.
By the late returns of the votes for the Representatives to serve the Commonwealth in Congress, there were several districts, in which no choice had been effected. I immediately issued precepts according to Law, requiring the several towns within those districts to meet on a day now past, in order to complete their elections. I cannot but recommend to your consideration, whether it may not be necessary more effectually to guard the elections of public agents and officers against illegal practices. All elections ought to be free, and every qualified elector who feels his own independence as he ought, will act his part according to his best and enlightened judgment. Elections are the immediate acts of the people's sovereignty, in which no foreigners should be allowed to intermeddle. Upon free and unbiased elections, the purity of the government, and consequently the safety and welfare of the citizens, may I not say, altogether depend.
If we continue to be a happy people, that happiness must be assured by the enacting and executing of reasonable and wise Laws, expressed in the plainest language; and by establishing such modes of education, as tend to inculcate in the minds of youth, the feelings and habits of "piety, religion and morality," and to lead them to the knowledge and love of those truly Republican principles upon which our civil institutions are founded. We have solemnly engaged ourselves, fellow-citizens, to support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of this Commonwealth. This must be reconcilable in the mind of any man, who judiciously considers the sovereign rights of the one as limited to federal purposes, and the sovereign rights of the other, as acting upon and directing the internal concerns of our Republic.
We have been under apprehension of being made a party in the agitating contest in Europe. Permit me just to observe that the first and main principle which urged the Combined Powers to enter into the contest, is in my opinion insupportable by reason and nature, and in violation of the most essential rights of nations and of men. The repeated acts of violence which have been committed on the property of American citizens, might in the opinion of some, have justified reprisals; but the policy of the federal government has directed to other measures. The wisdom of our own Councils, with the unexampled successes of our magnanimous Ally, the Republic of France, a Ford the strongest ground of hope, that under the continued smiles of Divine Providence, peace and tranquility, so interesting to a rising Republic, will in the end be firmly established.
The business of fortifying certain harbours within this Commonwealth, according to an act of Congress was left unfinished in your last session. It is indeed probable, that the danger which produced that measure, has nearly subsided; but the law still exists, and in my opinion it cannot be carried into constitutional effect in this Commonwealth, without the aid of the legislature of the same. I am led to this opinion by contemplating the first article of the Constitution of the United States which establishes the powers of Congress, and which particularly authorises them to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatever, over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the States, in which the same shall be, for the erection of Forts, Magazines, and other public buildings. Those who wish to persuade the world to believe, that a free repub-
lican Republic cannot be supported, will no doubt make use of every art to injure, and by degrees to alter, and finally to eradicate the principles of our free Constitutions: But the virtuous and enlightened citizens of this Commonwealth and of all united America, have understanding and firmness, sufficient to support those Constitutions of Civil Government which they have themselves formed, and which have done them so much honor in the estimation of the world.
It is with pain that I mention the insurrection which has lately taken place in a sister State. It was pointed more immediately at an act of the Federal Government. An act of that government, as well as of the other governments in the Union, is constitutionally the act of the people, and our Constitutions provide a safe and easy method to redress any real grievances. No people can be more free under a Constitution established by their own voluntary compact, and exercised by men appointed by their own frequent suffrages. What excuse then can there be for forcible opposition to the laws? If any law shall prove oppressive in its operation, the future deliberations or a freely elective Representative, will afford a constitutional remedy. But the measures adopted by the President of the United States, supported by the virtue of citizens of every description, in that, and the adjacent States have prevailed, and there is an end of the insurrection. Let the glory be given to him who alone governs all events, while we express the just feelings of respect and gratitude due to all those, whom he honors as instruments to carry into effect his gracious designs.
I congratulate you on the success which the forces of the United States, have lately had against the hostile Indians. It is my hearty wish that by the blessing of Heaven, an end may be put to this expensive war, by an agreement between the parties, upon the permanent principles of justice, honor, good neighborhood, and true friendship.  The Constitution of this Commonwealth, having provided that the General Court, which shall be in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, shall issue precepts for collecting the sentiments of the people in regard to its revision; And as this Court is within the year mentioned, you will be pleased to decide, whether it was intended by the people that this business should be done by the General Court which shall be elected within that year, or whether it is your duty to attend to it.
I will lay before you several papers transmitted to me by the Treasurer, and other matters which may occur during the Session by subsequent messages.  SAMUEL ADAMS. Boston, Jan. 16th, 1795.

CONGRESS. House of Representatives. Friday, 23d January.
The bill for remitting the tonnage of certain French vessels, was read a third time and passed.  The bill for repealing part of the act for prohibiting the exportation of arms and ammunition, was read a third time. Mr. Dayton objected that if the bill was in itself proper the whole of the old act ought on the same principle, to be repealed. It was therefore ordered to lie on the table till Monday.
The bill supplementary to an act for enrolling and licensing ships and vessels in the coasting trade, was read a third time, the blanks filled up, and the bill passed.
Mr. Dayton, from the select committee reported a bill authorising the President to call out the militia for suppressing of insurrections, which was read a first and second time, and referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Claiborne moved, that his resolution laid on the table some time ago relative to reducing the salaries of certain officers under government, should be referred to a committee of the whole, which was agreed to, and Monday next appointed for that purpose.
It was then moved, that the House should go into a committee of the whole, on the report of the select committee, on that part of the message of
the President, which respects the fortifying the ports and harbours of the United States.
The following is a copy of the report above referred to: That by the report of the Secretary at War, it appears, that in pursuance of the act of the last session, the fortifications of the different ports and harbours are in considerable forwardness, excepting only the port of Boston, and Wilmington in the state of Delaware, suspended for reasons assigned by the Secretary, in his report.
That contracts have been entered into, for the ordnance necessary, and measures taken for progressing in the fortifications, as soon as the season will permit.
That from the necessity of enlarging the plan of defence, in some instances, and the enhanced price of labour and materials, since the first estimate was made, a sum not less than 225,500 dollars will be necessary to complete the plan of defence contemplated, admitting the fortifications to be constructed of timber and earth; and if executed with stone, a much larger sum.
The committee, taking into view the circumstances connected with this subject, and having received the necessary information from the Secretary at War, submit the following resolutions:
Resolved , That the necessary works for fortifying the ports and harbours of the United States ought to be continued, and constructed of the most durable materials, so as best to answer the purposes of defence and permanency.
Resolved , That a sum, not exceeding 500,000 dollars, (over and above the sums already appropriated) be appropriated for the purpose aforesaid; and that a sum, not exceeding 100,000 dollars per annum, be provided for the services aforesaid.
Resolved , That the President of the United States be authorized to give preference, in point of time, to the completion of such of the said fortifications as he may think advisable.
Mr. Parker moved that the following words should be struck out of the first resolution—"and constructed of the most durable materials, so as best to answer the purposes of defence and permanency."
Mr. Fitzsimons rose to speak. He could not be distinctly heard, on which, looking at a number of visitors in the passage, he observed that this House was becoming a coffee-house, where idle people came to spend their time. His opinion seemed to be, that there should be some permanent fortifications. There was a difficulty in the case, for if they were only slight, in three or four years they would be destroyed.
Mr. Heath was for reducing the number of fortified places, and making the remainder more complete. He mentioned Alexandria in Virginia, and Annapolis in Maryland as two of the places which he thought it unnecessary to fortify.
Mr. Giles was averse to going into much farther expence. He hoped that the clause with the principle which it contained would be struck out. He wished that it had never been struck in. He was of the same opinion, or nearly so, as Mr. Heath.
The clause was accordingly struck out.
Another amendment was then proposed which likewise gave rise to a long conversation. The sum of the subject in dispute was whether all the places at first proposed should be fortified, and in what way a durable fortification ought to be made?
Mr. Goodhue at last moved that the committee of the whole should rise, and the report be referred to a select committee.
Mr. Fitzsimons imagined that this would be a mere loss of time. It would be doing as was too often done, getting rid of the business for the mean time, and receiving it back again exactly as we gave it.
Mr. Ames, in making some remarks on this subject, adverted to the present state of Castle William at Boston. "It would," said Mr. Ames, "be much safer to stand without such fortifications than within them."
Mr. Sedgwick observed that the account which his colleague had given was perfectly just. No gentleman in that house perhaps knew less than he did of these matters, but it required no skill in fortifications to see that those referred to were of very little value. A single ship of war could lay all our large trading towns under contribution. We are more prosperous than any other people. Surely then America may, like other nations, afford to fortify her harbours. He spoke this on account of the public at large, for neither he nor his immediate constituents were in any danger from such a thing.
Mr. Dearborne admitted that Castle
William was capable of very little defence. In fact, it was in a state of ruin.
Several other gentlemen also spoke. At length Mr. S. Smith insisted that the committee should rise, as it was evident that they could not at present determine what was meant by a durable fortification. One gentleman understood one thing, another gentleman another thing, and so on. They were in fact not doing any business.
Mr. Christie concurred in this remark. The committee rose. The chairman asked leave to sit again, but on the motion of Mr. Nicholas, the report was referred to a select committee. The house then adjourned till Monday forenoon at eleven o'clock.
LEXINGTON, December 6.
On Friday last the Assembly of this state proceeded by the joint ballot of both houses, to elect a Senator to serve six years in the Senate of the United States, in the room of Colonel Edwards; and Mr. Humphrey Marshall was elected.
NEWPORT, December 30.
Lord Dunsmore and the General Assembly of Nassau are at variance. His Lordship had issued new Writs for elections, because two returns had not been made in time as he thought—the Assembly thought otherwise, and resolved that they should take their seats. His Lordship immediately dissolved the Assembly.
CHARLESTON, (S. C.) Jan. 1.
Yesterday arrived the ship Mercury, Capt. Howland, in 53 days from Havre-de-Grace, by whom intelligence of much importance is received.
The following is an abstract of it— A treaty of peace had been signed between the Republic of France and the king of Prussia, at Newwchatel, in Switzerland, on the 12th of October. The principal article of which was supposed to be that France should not give any assistance to the Poles.
Preliminaries of peace are signed between France and the kingdoms of Spain and Sardinia.
Germany has sued for peace, but the terms on which France will grant it, are thought too humiliating.
Holland, it is thought, will obtain a separate peace.
Thus Austria and England are left to contend against a power whom all combined Europe in vain attempted to subdue. And to both these powers the French Republicans owe an implacable enmity, particularly the latter, whom it seems now to be their wish to exterminate.
Prices of Provision, when Captain Holland failed:—flour eight dollars, and beef and pork fifteen dollars per barrel.
Capt. Francis Feraud, commander of the privateer La Mouche, from Port De-Faix, arrived here on Tuesday. After having put into St. Thomas's, he was apprised by Capt. Antoine, out of Point Petre, that in his sailing out of this last port, he had perceived six men of war, four frigates and many transports directing their course between La Guadeloupe and Marie Galante, to Guadalupe; having known that they were French, he went on his way and gave this account to the Governor of St. Thomas's.
Captain Feraud failed from St. Thomas's the 19th of November, in order to finish his cruise; being near Curafo, he captured a Spanish schooner coming from St. Domingo, and found in her 3600 dollars. Too much puzzled with the prisoners, he restored the schooner to the owner, because he was in a leaky condition, and thereby unable to follow the privateer (La Mouche).
He also relates, that being near Jacmel, he captured a Spanish bilander coming from Jamaica, loaded with dry goods and armed with eight four pounders, after having fought two hours successively; that being between Jamaica and Cuba he captured a small sloop in ballast, bound to Jamaica; he restored the sloop to her owner, with all the prisoners. That being near the Cape Corbeux, he took a bilander and a schooner, drew from them all their cargo, which he put on board the brig bilander, leaving the small one to the Captain with all the prisoners. He relates, besides, that in his coming here with the bilander and schooner being near Bahama, he parted with them in a gulf of wind.
State Gazette.
From a Correspondent.
The Democratic Societies are again brought into view by their elaborate confessions of Faith, which like many other Creeds bear very little resemblance to the practice of the professors. And I own I cannot see any injury in these associations provided they will open their doors and publish their official letters of correspondence to the world—this they ought to do
instead of Jacob De la Mountain or some other fictitious name to assert the real names of the parties present, when resolutions are passed for public publication when they do this and add the time of residence in America to each member they will then stand in a more favourable point of view with the public—and instead of the charge of dishonesty they may then be distinguished by the more mild appellation of the WRONG-HEADS.
By the Boston papers it appears that Mr. Dexter is re-elected a Member of the House of Representatives of the United States.

Inland Navigation. In the Press and speedily will be published by Zachariah Poulson jun. No. 80, Chestnut Street, A N HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE Rise, progress, and present state OF THE Canal Navigation in Penn- sylvania. With an Appendix, containing Abstracts of the Acts of the Legislature since the year 1795, and their Grants of Money for im- proving ROADS and NAVIGABLE WATERS throughout the State - to which is an- nexed, "An Explanatory Map." Published by Direction of the President and Managers of the Schuylkill and Susque- hanna, and the Delaware and Schuylkill Navigation Companies. "Here smooth CANALS, across the extend- ed plain Stretch their long arms to join the distant main. The tons of toil, with many a weary broke Scoop the hard bottom of the solid rock; Resistless through the stiff opposing clay, With fleshy patience, work their gradual way; Compel the Genius of the unwilling flood Through the brown horrors of the aged wood; Cross the lone waste the silver urn they pour; And cheer the barren heath, or fallen moor. "The traveller, with pleasing wonder sees The white trail gleaming through the dusky trees; And views the alter'd landscape with sur- prise And doubts the magic scenes that round him rise. Now like a flock of swans, above his head, Their woven wings the flying vessels spread Now meeting streams, in artful maze, glide While each, unmingled, pours a separate tide; Now, through the hidden veins of earth they flow And visit sulphurous mines and caves be- low. The ductile streams obey the guiding hand, And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND!" Jan. 19
