REAL REIGN OF TVAROR.
. The numerous acts of arbitraryoppreesion which
are daily emomitting by the instruments of e%ecu-
tive despotism upon the persons and property of
Mir citizens, are loud calls upon the indignant feet.
Mgt of every friend to freedom and humanity. The
creel, and, it appears, unprovoked, treatment of
David Petty, by the Commander of the gun-bout,
No. 40, a statement of which, on the solemn oath
of the sufferer, has appraroA iu several Gazette:, is
calculated to awaken our sympathy for the un-
happy victim. and our deepest solicitude as to the
destinies of our devoted country, under the reign at
Thome,' the First. The deponent (Mr. Petty) says
lie was, on the following day, by orders of the said
Commander, put in irons, with handcuffs lie his
arts:.,- and %heckles on his legs, and kept so in
irons for one whole day and night ; dining a hieh
time lie had very little refreshment, cud wen treat-
ed with much abuse by the said Commander.
And the Deponent did further protest and swear,
that he knows of no reason for sorb treatinett from
the said Commander, o xc lit his wishes to detain
the Deponent on board until such time as he should
see fit act go to sea, and require the Deponent's
aid in navigating the gun-hunt out of the Gut.
Thus proceed*, as was predicted, Mr. Jefferson's
war upon his Fellow-Citizeus; and, Americans, if
entry sentiment of liberty is not extioict in your
bosoms, how must they swell with indignation at
such atrocinus conduct.
We shall close with the following pertinent re-
marks. from The Baltimore Federal Republican,
on a similar ming% committed by Mr. Jefferson's
minions, in Isiten harbour, headed—A. Mr. kr-

All the Petty ()Seers and little Ministerial Mi-
lieus, who have been • clothed with arbitrary
power by the eppreesive supplements to the em-
bargo, seem to be united in their determination to
tyrannize over our citizens, and trample upon the
rights of freemen ; even pleasure-boats, and some-
times canoes, have furnished in their turn pretexts
for those newly-created tyrants to display their
mighty loowtr. The shameless outrages which
have been committed by the Commanders of gun-
boats, clothed with a dangerous and iineenstita-
eional power, have been but specimens in 11111 l iature
of the tyranny of minister despots, who set these
puppets in usotiou. Their blows are Mined at
more important and *mbed objets the annihi-
lation of emninarce—the destruction of the judi-
ciary—and the subversion of our whole system of
jurisprudence. Assumptions of power frequently
will produce die onitclit, and excite a general spirit
of iusuborolination to the. laws. The people will
becoine weary of oppression, and will no longer tole-
rate the severe measures, which flow from what is
entitled to no other name than despotism. When
Kings become tyrants from principle, subjects still

A letter from Connecticut, received by this
morning's Eastern Mail, announces the death of
Governor of Messivelinsetts. The infor-
'motion is probably correct, as a Gentleman, who
isesived yesterday, stated, that at the tune of lois
leaving Boston, the Governor was considered at
the point of death.
We at length bare it from Mr. Jefferson's own
Ens, that the embargo is not a temporary measure,
hut, in n word. that it would be tt unwire ever
more" to enjoy the henefira of commerce. The
following letter to the New Ilampsloire Legislature

taken in coajnowvison with the great expel et Go-
vernment es about to Meer to equip armed merle
on the Lakes, to enforce the embargo. it lessee ant
a doubt IsebinoLthat the embargo will be continued
until t. the people take it ofii" that is. until there is
a change of Rulers. Read the following letter, and
see whether any other meaning can be attached to
Mr. Jefferson's declaration :

THE LAST SCENE.
_ _

• It ought to lier;Zilitdbien of all parties,
that in all the discussions which take place respect-
ing the continuance of the embargo, not a word is
ever uttered by the Jefferronian Party with regard
to our future revenue. This is a subject which
democratic writers dare not mention. We have
all, federal and anti-embargo writers of every de-
scription, over and over aga►n inquireil, what will
this country do for locals, when those deposited in
the Treasury. by our late commerce, arc exhauit-
eil ? This is a question of the most serious conse-
quence ; it is a question which our opponents Betio-
louslL_lteep out of view; they el tbe goaded
into isT4ly ; but it is a question which every Ci-
tizen, whose niiiid is not bent on his country's de-
struction, should resolve in his own mind. It is a
subject of so plain a nature, that any man of com-
mon sense, however partially accustomed to poli-
tical speculations, can make couclusiona perfectly
convincing to himself.
Commerce has supported our Government, and
supplied our public wants. It is arrested—it is
destroyed. Mr. Jefferson tells us plainlys it is best
to do without it, and his partizans insure him acd
us, that his plan is wise, and must be executed.
Shortly there will nbt found a dollar in the
Treasury. Will Governineat, at such a season,
under the greatest possible di-advantages, 'sacrifice
our public lands ? The loss would he incalculable,
and the amount soon expended. Will they im-
pose direct taxes ? They will be monstrous, and the
people, without trade, have no means to pay them.
Will they single out those of our Citizens whose
suecessful industry has placed them in affluence—
Wunder and rob them of their estates ? Such vil-
lainy will never be countenanced nor encLired by a
just community ; or even if iniquitously tolerated
' for a time, the few would soon be equalized or
ruined, said destruction descend to the possessors
of ordinary fortune.
These consequeuces of a continued embargpare
inevitable. Ingenuity can point out nu pimple/la,
ever of avoiding them. For Heaven's sake; then,
let the long prejudiced friends of Administration ,
and its fatal policy look at the approaching scene.
We know that if the embargo be nut removed,
our Citizens will ere long set its restrictions and its
penalties at defiance.
Withont entering into discussions of constitu-
tional points and powers, every M.lll knows and
feels that no Republican Government can consti-
tutionally ruin its Citizens, charged with no crime.
This will remove scruples of conscience, and the
people will trade. Mr. Jefferson will have no re-
venue, ou his own plan, to raise a physical force, by
laud or Ws, to restrain them. But while the Citi-
zens will be thus reduced to a state of maitre, nod
while they will save themselves and their families
from poverty, by their own exertions, still tio relief
will arise to our ruined Revenue. The horrid con-
sequences we have already sugosted will be re-
alisedor what is no less to be dreaded mast ensue :
The federal Gorerrinekt, mice oar pride, oar hap.
pintas, aid oar Aft-ergs/I, be broker up, its members
dispersed, and its operatiors eensr !

• STON. SUPT. 8.
We would always wish to tre..t with respect the
communication of our first Magistrate, especially
when it is couched in language so civil and sooth-
ing as the letter from Mr. Jefferson to the town
of Boston; but we must nut be led by its honied
words into a ready credence of i;s contents.—We
have bail enough of professions nailer this Adini-
iiistrati ( (( , and would now wish to realise that our
rulers sympathise with the people in their distress,
by *min:: some efliwt to relieve it. Now we know
Mr. Jefferson has not takes use step towards an
seemnialation with Eis4land ; and if he has done
any thing more than send to the Court of the
Coutioeutal Tyrant assurances of obedience, we
know no relief is to be expected—for at the very
moment the haughty Napoleon assures Mr. Jef-
fermi' of his hearty approbation of all Mr. Jef-
fersou had done to please Min, he positively de-
clares that Ae shall not relax, and orders all oar
ships to De condemner:. Not so with England.—
While suffering every insult from us, in non-inter-
course And prohibitory laws, and the most allusive
language from Government papers, accompanied
with threats of our vengeance, she makes every
concession to iss, even to a degree satisfactory to
the patriotic Pinckney. Yet all is in vain—no
adjustment insist take place, lest it offend Na-
poleon, and bring us into a war with France—as
if we were not already at war, while her cruisers
arrest, and her Courts condemn, every American
ship tirtioght within her ports.
('it of. Boston, be not deceived ; the danger
to whiei. our Tre is exposed. as described by
NIT. Jefferson, is of his own making—he keeps up
it (pared with England to please his. French mas-
ter, who tomes! his Decree for this very purpose;
and he then takes tke advantage of these dangers
(brought mi and continued he his own choice) to
annihilate our commerce. This is the grind oh-
jet t w view. Mr. Jefferson sari, .• we have wished

on the attempt of fur. Jciferson to :tinvince the

torious that Great Britain will nut interrupt cur

volume of severe reply might be written to this let-
ter, which is full of cold, hollow-hearted hypueri,,y.
But one point only have we time to touch til
his apparent inditlerence with regard to the fate of
Spain. Astonishing boldness iii the ruler of u free
people, after all his professions, to speak of the
contest for the Government" with such indiffer-
ence. Does he think our feelings are buried with
oar servile acquiesceuce iu his own arbitrary mea-
sures ? We may have lost feeling for ourselves, but
we do feel for the Patriots of Spuio.
Yes, the people of B vston, the cradle of Ame-
rican independence, do know and ice/ that the
Patriots in Spain are eiwaged.„ in a contest like ours
—for National Independence—though with *ouch
strosiger grounds of onion.--. There is no subtle
question there to be discussed, as here, about the
right of taxation. The only alternative there, is
the submission to the dominion of a foreign des-
pot, to the most odious and huteful tyranny, or a
successful resistance and re-establishment of their
own self-government. We alias know there is no

New England from remonstrating against the Em-

although Mr. Jefferson " does what he pleases."—
If the voice of nineteen-twentieths of the whole po-

ing the condition of our common country. Un-
shackled by the fetters of Virginian polities, our

CHARLESTOWN, AUG. 30.
We ltarn by Captain Kerley, from St. Hart's,
that the.nemi of the recent revolution in Spain has
beevlkeived in Florida with the greatest demon-
strations of joy. A number of I. renelimen who
fled from that province in consequence of the rigid
treatment of the Spaniards toward* them, have
arrived at St. Mary's in several small vessels.
ALBANY, SEPT. 3.

An obliging friend of our's has received a letter
from a Correspondent at Detroit, which mentions,
that they have had a skirmish with the Indians, but
pacified thrum again by some presents from the
iovenior. From what cause this arose. and
whether any lives were lost. we do not learn.—

HALIFAX, (NORTH AMERICA,) SEPT. 2.
The New-York packet is just arrived • she brings
but little news. The passengers say ;hat there is
no symptom or appearance of a disposition on the
part of the Americans to go to war with England.
Letters from variousother parts of the United States
are to the same effect.

The whole of the troops, from all parts of
the Province, are collected here, and tinder orders
to embark at a moment's notice. Our Governor,
Sir George Prevost, will have the command in
chief, but their destination, no oae but himself is
supposed to know. There are twenty-eight trans-
port% lying here, and provisions, water, great guns,
sand-hog., scalinz ladder., and all torts of shells,
shot, and ammunition, Snore been embarked on
boaid of them, for these ten days past. Every thing
is ready, and it only remains for the men to go on
board, which will take place the moment Sir George
Prevost receives some dispatches, the arrival of
which is hourly expected. The troops amount to
4000, are admirably appointed, and lit for any ser-
vice. Some think they are going to Alartinique,
others that they are aostintil for Spain. The traits-
ports will sail under convoy of two frigates, i% hich
are here ready to escort them.

There has been aw attempt to rem.-
lutin at Oviedo, but the movers of the mob, who
were chiefly of the lower class of the law, hare been
confined, and will probably meet the punishment
they deserve. The Aiewmbly were obliged to march
troops into the town, but all is now tranquil. The
French and Spanish armies are within half a league
of each other near Balboa ; the Spaniards occupy
the hill of Vicogna, on which is .situated a chapel.
within a mile of the town, and a general action is
daily expected.

Deinuark, Norway, and France, are to combine is
it, and the filial dispositions respecting the con-
quest or partition, will, it is understood, form an
important part of the deliberations at Erfurt. Its
esecution may, ar.il moat, partly depend on the
severity of the impeading winter. Our fleet,
tofilvil at Rogerswick, is quitting the Baltic, and

facts are too well kuowit to Ministers, but their at-
ttatioti is wholly engrossed by miserable disputes,
and more miserable subterfuges, to avoid, evade,
or delay inquiry. They dread only Parliament.
They Pee only WELLEiII.EIf, or DALaYMPLE, at

subject soon, and state other particulars.

Some further accounts from Spain were received,
e,tentay, which state, that the 7000 men, under
the command of the Marquis Da PORTAZOO, who
laj erieuated Bilboa, had formed a junction with
Ge.Leral 131,41i4ft, army. It likewise appears, that
t ...much force that entered Bilboe consisted of
I. • Is to 20,000 men, being a division of the
r. irmy of Marshal Nay, under the irumndiate
l'• !All(' of 6,teral BEaTallat. Report further
. that Georr.l PALAFOX hail actually joined
tir.Aste, and their united forces amounted
no "len. The former had posted himself to
,!:1, and the latter to the Westward of
...e. The Defiarsee, of 74 guns, fell in with two
.rg? Spanish frigates, between St. Andero and
boa, a few days after the French had entered tkat
(it —they had heavy artillery on hoard, and bat-
tering brass cannon for General BLAKeIi artny,des-
tined for bilimu. It blowing a gale of wind, and
the frigates being fat to leeward, the Defiance
could not communicate with them ; but the Cap-
tain (Iloritsta)dispatehed the Peloris brig, and the
Black Juke lugger, to give them information of the
French being again in possession of Bilboa ; and
there was but little doubt that they would come up
with them before they reached the port of Bilboa.
A great quantity of artillery and ordnance stores
has been landed at Corunna and St. Andero.

We have received letters and papers from Halifax
to the 43ci last, at which date Sir Gaoaaa PREVOST
was on the point of sailing with a British force, of
4000 men, admirably appointed, and in as excel-
lent state of discipline. His destination not being
known, was, of course, the subject of anxious con-
jecture, which appears to have bees divided between
Alurunique and Spam. Only a few troops, it was
supixeied, would remain at Hulifax, among which is
mentioned the nth, or KENO'S Own, except the two
flank companies, the grenadiers aod light infantry.
The withdrawing of so large a farce from that
quarter, *hews clearly that all apprehensions of a
war with Americas have entirely vatliv,hed. We are
disposed to think that the West Indies, and not
Spain, is the destination of the troops from Halifax,
114 some reuent accounts lately stated that prepa-
rations were ordered to be made at Bermuda for
the reception of a considerable force.

Leiters have been received at the East India
House, from Captains Stu PSOT4 and Nut% Ah 0. of
the Uition mid Devaynes, outward bound, advising
the arrival of those ships at Madaira on the iiith
September, with the fleet under convoy of His
MAnnes ship Revenge, all well, mid were cc-

We yesterday announced the arrival of the

from New York and Halifax. On her way to Ha-

by the American fripte i'h,•sapenke. The people
