Mn. EDITOR,-4 was very much surpriel to
see the f(AlOwing paragraph ilia Morning Paper of
this (lay :--
" The Duke of Sussex has expressed his wish to she Ma-
Magistrates of Hattonlarden,. to he present at the final exit--
apination of Jap u ies Lev, fur the murder oil:thy:lrd Clliford.
Mr:Tu ;TON, the omonifung Mngiitrhte in this ease, has is
consequence postponed the. examinatiun till next week.i'
The Editor, 1 am sure, must have been misin-
formed, for it would be an insult -to his Royal.
Highness to suppose that be would, merely for
the gratidestion of hi 3 curiosity, ask a Magistrate
to suspend the proceedings of public justice. lint
even, if I could fol. a moment suppose that his
Royal Highness would make such a'request, I am
convinced .that no Magistrate would so.far forget
his.dtity as to comply with it. 1 am, Sir,

r ASHIONABLE 'II'INDLERS.—A man, with a
fe-
male, both_ of very genteel appearance, inade their
entree in Taunton last Week, to the cost of a num-
ber of its tradespeople, who were defrauded by
this fashionable. couple, of property to a cOnst-
de.rohlitamouat,. They represented themselves to
be conneeted.with various families of distinction,
and that they were deSirbus of some snug retreat
in this ueighbourbood, which they found quit*
congenial with their wishes. They even adver-
tisedfor this said ” sung retreat," and were very
earnest in their solicitude to fin(' one to their
taste. On SUnday last, however, durin divine
service, they chose the '' snug retreat" of a pwt
chaise; and decamped lit it towards- i3iith, whit
city, if the -tradesmen are equally credulous with
those of Taunten, we have no doubt the romantic
pair will also find quite congenial with their'

.wishest"
IseExiotrs ROBBERY.—A fellow entered the
shop. of Mr. Lendon, silversmith, of '.Taunton; last
week, and requested to .look at some silver
watches. Having chosen one to his mind, Le
selected a chain., seal, &c. for its accompaniments,
and white they *ere being fastened on,The look-
ed,through the, shop and begged M.
to be as quick its pOssible, lest his horse and cart,
'which he had left a, few doors above, should go
off --at the same time. pulling out of. his pocket,
'end placing on the counter, a canvas 'Moneybag,
'seemingly distended with bank-notes. The mo-
ment the watch waS ready' tar delivery„ the fellow
looked throtigh the window
,again—exclaimed,
with great earnestuess, that

and snatching up the watch, ran out .of the shop.
For It few minutes, Mr. L. Presuming on the ap-
parent. siitficiency of the canvas bag, which was
lying hefore, hint, felt no swipicion on tilt occa-
sion ; but the man not returning, he ventured to
examine his security, which he found to consist
of notbingbrit scraps of printed bids torn from the
walls. The 'depredator got clear off.--07runion.

I Aiti a British partizan. To those ‘vho
stand the craft and deceit of that party, in this
Coigntry, who resort to the latter charge to dis-
guise their own politieai depravity, a 6ingle re
twirk is tinneccary ; hut to those honestly do-
. ceived, by this miserable subterfuge, it may be
,proper to say sonict:.ing, which will be' done in
order,—To the ii-st charge, I plead guilty, nor do
I ask -iirrcy. A eabinet, Whose whole political
'conrse nothing has attached to it, but abOrtion to
its prominentacts, the sttltpresAion of every lamb-
able national oryriv ate enterprise; destructiOn and
annihilation of commerce.; witr with all its. hor-
Tors declared and pretendedly: prosecuted; with-
out the Ways or means; merely for electioneering
.purposes, and to sitbserve party views.; -ditgraee,
defeat; and natioeal-degradation following in its

,of public money, nay, a
total annihilation of the exchequer, now only sup-
plied
by dubions.loans, at exorhitant interest, or
.beggary from the states ;fare circumstances' pecu-
liarly'eharaeteristic of this and the preceding ad-
ministrations. But, gentlemen, are- these the
only proper grounds of opposition to this party ?.
No, indeed. Conclusive, however, as they ought
to be to every patriotic or independent amid, yet
they apparently shrink into nothing before that
stupendous, cOntaminating, and unnatural species
of political degradation, which I honestly believe
they Practice on this free people—l -allude to
French influence ! Tbis,,at first view, appears in-
deed incredible ; but when we view the.conduct
(not the words) of Air. Maddison (the President
'de jure) we shall find this charge not destitute' of
foundation. Respect for the high station he fills,
forbids.acrimonious epithets on the present occa-
sion ; but among many that might be enumerated
and proven, of the various acts of his' administra-
tion, it may not be improper to mention a few
most glaring instances, to shoe his 'predilection
to. the Tyrant, not only of France, but of the ci-
vilized world.
" On the 2d Way, 1810, Congress passes} a law,
Inviting, in a new form, the belligerents of liht-
rOpe to rescind or modify their edicts affecting
our neutrality, and by it clothed the President
Ivith power by proclamation, after such revoca-
tion- actually made by either,, to announce such
event to the American people, and forther to im-
pose restrictions relating to our Commerce on, the
other, who should:not, within- three months . n

IR re-

thereafter, follow the example of her antagonist.

This certAinly was a pow& confided to the-Presi-
,
duht, not only of the first magnitude and import-
:
4nce, hut one that ought to have been executed
%vial the most conscious anti awful circumspection.
Let us inquire" ‘Vinit his conduct With the
utmost avidity did he, on the 2d Novetnber; 1810.
in his high, oflicial, and responsible 'diameter, by
proclamation, announce to the world the' revoca-
tion of tie Freitelt decrees of Berlin and Milan.
.Frizile,,*.ortis.;44l",;v4,,his-4tity, had. the faet. existed ;

ht 6. WIOK:11,1t 01,0111dOW Of eV ideflet: of this impor-
tant and only point on the part of France in reht-
tickn to those decrees, he a:ni his party (the majo.-
rity of Congress) persisted in the truth of the pro-
clamation, and ultimately, to wit, 'on the 2d
Mardi; 1811, renewed the non-intercourse act
against England, and suspended its operation
against France. J. am not the apologist of any
foreign power, but particularly of that enslaved
by the arch fiend Napoleon ; but this I must say,
that France never di:l promise stich revocation !
The Doc tie Cadore, our MiniSter,
thong, wrote a letter, dated the iith August,
110, to this effect have the pleasure to in-
form you, Sir, that the Berlin and. Milan clerees
from'and after the first of November next, will
cease to operate in violation of the neutralcom-
'tierce of the United States, it being understood
that the ,British GoVernMent will rescind' her or-
ders in council, abandon her new system of block-
ade, or that the United States will cause her flag
to be respected.'
," Let 'we 'ask any intelligent and impartial man,
if this can be possibly construed into an Official
revocation of those edicts, or whether it cars' be
tortured even into an indirect prinuise to"do sir
it cannot. Over two of the conditions, America
bud no ContrOA, and the last means any thing
or nothieg- as, the construction may seem most
combative to-the views of France. Yet, strange
though true, this (vas the only possible pretext on
which Mr. Madison's celebrated proclamation was
bottomed. Had France been a (io i-..nnient itr
whom faith could be placed, this could not have
afforded ground to be believe their decrees %mold
be revoked, but when we reflect on the doplicity,
the intrigue, the outrages, and piracy she had
used for yektrs..towaHl. the United Stares, tot e 7
getl“..r with her confiscations ,and buruings, it
woniii seem that,the most unequivocal evidence of
her national -acts ought to have been required be-
credence ought to have bevn attached. The
Jlvitish Government denied the fact of revocation
as set forth by the American cabinet ,•and demand.
ed the exhibition of some official Act of the Go-
vernment of France to justify the attitude itsuined
by America, promising at the same time a similar
procedura, on her part, whenever this official re,
voe,ition should be thus manifested ;--,true it is,
she required more—that this revocation should
extend to all neutrals. This, although beyond the
power of the United States to controul, neverthe-
less :lid not excrise the Cabinet for not hiwwiug,
at least,. the modification of those obnoxious
eree-, so far as came within the scope of the Pre-
*Amt.'s procl;ination, which was all that we'
ought to have,been required to do, and which was
tilt that we ought to have done. The opposition.
in this country likewise demanded this evidence ;
but all was in VA ; none was produced, nor did
any eNist. Let .iite now ask, what were the•facts?
..Itit..what they weir api;rehetuled, and precisely
.W4at, they have.turned out to be. There is not a
man of common sense, now in the Union, but ad-
mits that our sage and inipartial President was', at
tail, mistaken, and that he ought to have hutted

and required to do---announclng.this.tleception to
tbepeopfe"of the United States. Mitt to put this
erection 'beyond the possibility of doubt, ei n to
the'ldin.:h'secptieul, and infatuated supportets of
thr 'present men in power, the French Govern-
ment itself,. did by their detree of then 28th of
April, 1811, for the first time declare, that, in
consequence of Anieriean Act of Congress of.
the'.2,Fof March, 1811, .the decrees of Berlin and
Milan Avere revoked, &c. thus giving the lie di,
iect to the,President's proclamation of the 2d of
Novemb;/.
" ShOuld•the subject; however, after this.irre-
sistible proof. yet' for a 'I3"i•OMV,Tit be questioned by
the blindest of the blind adherents of this admini--:
station; who-at ansiver.can be .giVen.to the state-
men ti made b MrAtusAel; our chat gerdes atfaires
at the Court .ot St. Cloud, and of Mr. Barlow-,
our soivening 41(1d ,t,Nreophantic Minister (of Wilua
memory.) The first, in bis letter to Mr. Monroe,

. - .
dated the 9th of :fitly, -1811, says,— I have as
yet, no official evidence of the repeal of the de,
crees of 13erlin and Milan, although 1 have seen
the. President's pronlanraion to that effect, and
I deem it menu" to use that paper as a means of
obtaining their revocation.-Thus more than two
months after :the pretended decree of, April had
clamed, on the most important subject an rebnimi
to 'France, without being known, or even hinted
to the only official agent' of the United States
then in Paris I Bart*, in his letter to the Duke
of Bassani), on Ist May, 1812, presses, the neeesiity
of making k!lo..Vn, in sonic authentic in on
the'purt of the French Government; this.promis
ed revocation as be terms it,—ten days pass away
without an answer, when to the astonishment
of even tallow himself, and of the world, the
French Mini3ter informs hint for the first time, •
that an
..oficial decree. to. th!rt effect had existed
from the 28tlisApril 1811 ! and that our charge
des affaires and the French Minister here, Mr,
Serrurier, had been duly notified of 'the fact.— '
Most barefaced falsehood—most. petfidious ,de-
ceptiOn ! What is still more' astonishing, this
very redoubtable Minister, Joel Barlow, in his
letter to Mr. Monroe, of date the 12th May,
Isl'.:, after attempting to disguise French uertidy,
says- of the Duke of BiISS2IIO, assured him it
was not among the archives of this legation, and
that 1. never be ,re beard of it."—Yet, in another
part of the same lettcr, he professes to believe the
statement Of Bassani), for, says he, (after requir-
ing certain documents, and this particularly) to
prove to the incredulOtts ofnry-contqryinot. to
me] that 'the decrees of "Bet lin,and Milan were in
good fAt h and auconditionally repealed with regard
to the Uniied States.' Poor miserable dupe !
Wiren 'were they repetiled ?• The French say.,
the 28111 of- April, 1811—our Cabinet say, on
the Is't of NoveMber,- 1810-,--Itt 1 ,say on the
10th May, 1812. This, is- the date, of the Duke of
11ass.atio's letter Mr. Barlow in answer to his of
the Ist of the same month, and although the, pre-
tended thit.cof April, 1811, is sufficient-for my pre•
sent purpose, to convict the Cabinet of French
influence, yet there is not a sensible man inn-the
wOrld. who 'does not ...firmly believe that it. waiti
political jhggle hatched up in 1812, bearing the
a:rte.:late of-the 213t11 April, 181.1. The President
and his party
.have likels,..• been in the constant
habit of glaSsing over; extenuating and apologis-
ing every. t'essioim of this most ,infamous
panic government., while they unnecessarily exiv
getate every thing inimical on the part of Eng.
land, which certainly are trulyand justly to be held
in abhotreuce and resentment in their true dia.-,

yet he has not done. so=—Why ? neve 1 am all•

vernmentknow of war when'ithey rescinded those

nietit Would have been ascribed to our declaration.

typographers think proper to publish this infor-
ination or Hattie of the veryfast sailer that brought
the news.-- That the Orders iu Council wete re-
voked without the knowledge of War, on the part
tit Britain, is a truth that must be admitted—that
we declared this war pretendedly on account ;of
their exiStenee, is likewise true: And when 'the'
Cause ceased; we ought in good. faith to have sus-
vended eft least the effect. But we find the party in
power p&sisting; persisting yet in their French

proclamation, and refusing eye') to acknow•

nounce that which had the stamp of official au-
