!" The Administration Of St. Jago dc
Cuba have determined to admit all provi-
iions into that port, at one half the ufual
duties, tor the term of fix months ; this
event probably may induce to adventur-
ing that way from the United States.
Provliions here, at prelent, are tolerable
fale."
The Auauation which has all along
marked the affairs of Europe, renders all
lpeculation on the future deRiny of that
quarter of the globe, a matter of precari-
Gus conjecture. The policy Of the nations
at war is not lefs fcrutable than the deGgns
which may be. contemplated by thofe who
affect pacific determinations. We have
feen, at ore moment, when peace was mott
fanguinely expected, its arrival impeded
by the pride, the jealoufy, or the ambiti-
on Of a belligerent /; at another, when the
indications of general tranquility were
mott manifef, we have feen hoftility pro-
traefed by the miGconduet of powers for
merly neutral. ReGRing or GLIDING the
predictions of politicians, Europe fill
groans under the accommodating Affections
of a war, the termination of which is at
prefent as deeply hid from human forefight,
as it was at the difaArous of its
commencement.
1t is the province Of wifdom to lelen
the force of evils which it cannot wholly
avert. The conduct Of Europe, however,
being openly at war with humanity, has
conftantly violated this principle. While
the animoGty of the contending parties has
been audiou0y embittercd and enraged by
mitigating their national ~prejudices, or by
creating unreal motives for hatred, natu-
raj caufes have alto c~onfpired to fwell the
horrors of the defperate conflict. The i'm
providence md havoc Of war, has been
fuccceded by the miferies of famine and diff
cafe /; and external hoRility has been abet-
ted by internal diforder, rebellion and
mafacre.

Citizen Prefef,
You are ien6ble OF the indulgence hewn
by the government towards non-juring
prriets lnce the 18th Brumaire, Novem-
Der Q. | have authorized numbers of them
to return to their habitations, and have
required no other condition on their part,
but a prcmife of fidelity to the con(tituti-
onof the republic. That condition was
as moderate as Reasonable, and is fuch a
one as every government has Alright to de-
mand whenever it deems a fmilar pledge
ecelfary with refpea to rhofe who with TO
live fubjef to its laws. 1t would in fact
be ablurd, and contrary to every idea
founded on the focal compact, if Gmple
individuals were allowed to impole reRric-
lions to their fubmiGon to the laws, and
to form a code, fuited merely to their own
convenience.
A government which hould tolerate
iueh an abufe would betray its weakness,
and nourilh the principles Of It's own de-
t%truttion. No pretence whatever can be
adm''iible in order to juitify. the refufal of
pronife ofhdclity &c the conRitution.-
1t is only by their readinefs to make fuch
pEomae that the banifhed Prielts can
give an aaurance Of the good intentions by
winch they are aetuated in demanding to
return 70 their country. Nevertheless,
many OF tl1ofe who have profted by the
indulgence OF the government, and who
know that fueha pledge was the condition
u 'ieif return, have come back with the
Intention OF refufing o give it. To avoid
'uen r%siuial, and to prevent the danger OF,
admitting into the bofom of the Republic,

- one iimple, eafy mode. Ii is this -
