DEAR SIR,

from Con. Preble off Tripoli he
had then made two attacks upon the
Barbarians, the frtt by day, ne took
three of their gun boats, the iecond
by night, he funk three more and a
large Polacca he has | prefume ere
this made another aGault, the refult
of which | am hourly expecting to
learn. The reinforcement from a..
merica has not yet artived--if they
do arrive in time 70 form a junction
with the force under the command of
Commodore PrcbIe, before the bad
weather commences, | do think the
Baihaw will accede to any terms that
may be propoied to him. He has
already come down conliderably in
his demands, relinquiihing entirely, [
believe, his hopes Of future tribute" :"
The late enterprise directed a.
gaina IripoIi is of the right kind
The deitruction or capture of their
leven veiiels by commodore Preble, is
like drawing their teeth. 1t is not
improbable, that fire and force has
burued, lhattered s. difmounted their
defences on lhorc, cannon, sc. Thefe
two a1aultS, with the enterprise 70
Handsomely executed by the gallant
Decatur and his aaociateS, will con.
vince the Barbary itates, thar their
cruizers can & will be reached in their
ports, harbors and roads, under cover
OF their tortihcations. There is iome-
thing particularly brave in the rsns7y-
ed attack of the commodore and his
little fquadlon, becauCe the enemy
had notice, and mutt have fully man.
ned their veilels and Notifications, &
even their ihores. The tooner we
f-trle this matter by fuch operations,
the fooner fhall we put an end to the
duty which the barbarians forced the
Legislature to impofe to reprefs their
holtilitiss.
1t is little remarkable, that no
iuch enterprises as thofe, which have
deitroyed the Barbary veilels & cruiz.
ers in their own ports, and deprived
them of our itranded frigate, were at
tempted'in the time, when our navy
was 70 much more coItly and itrong
than at preient. /" Millions for de-
fence, but not cent for tribute" ("
refunded from port to port. But
Moors, Algerines, Tuniiians and Tri-
po!;tans, were all unmolsifed. Yet
1t f=ens that our " pasifc" govern
ment, as fome of the oppoiition call
it, have cauled war to be carried into
their itrong holds. r. Journal.

in saying thath would consent to an en-
ouiry He cared not how exalted his sta
ion, or how far he was raised above the
rest of the community; the very clrcuin-
stance OF his Superior elevation, would
prove an additional Indictment. Such he
said was the nature of the government, and
so important the duty in this respect de-
volved upon-the House Of Representatives,
that the conduct OF the chief magistrate
himself should, as far as his vote could ef-
feet it, be subjected to an enquiry, when
ever it was demanded by a member. ifle
greater responsibility, the more easy and
more simple should be the Means of inves-
tigation. Were heindeed the friend, per-
sonal or political, Of the officer charged,
and he believed that impeachment would
be the result of enquiry, it was possible
that his feelings as a man, might induce
him to forget his duty as a representative
and urge him to resist the enquiry. but
were he convinced Of his innocence, ne
would do all in his power to promote 1t,
IN order that he might stand justified to the
nation and to the world.
Upon the present occasion he begged
that he might not be understood to say that
the offence with which these Judges were
charged, was such as would warrant an I'M
peachment. But while be meant not to
commit himself, on question OF such high
moment, he could not avoid expressing his
astonishment, that the conduct stated should
not only be defended upon the floor of the
house, bat eatirely approved; that gentle
men should venture to declare that the
court acted strictly in the line Of their ,du-
ty, in refusing TO hear Counsel on a point
of law which involved the guilt or the in
nocence ofthe prisoner. A man was charg-
ed with the highest offence against the CO.
vernment, and if guilty, was subject to the
severest and most ignominious punishment
recognized by our laws. High treason was
the crime, and death the penalty. he
constitution declared that treason against
the United States should consist only IN
levying war against them, or IN adhering
to their enemies giving them aid and COM
fort. The trainers OF the constitution IN
tended to be as precise as possible IN their
definition of treason, they were anxious
that no room should be left for doubt after
wards. Thy had seen to what an infinite
variety of objects, the crime Of treason had
been extended in England, and wisely
confined it here to the only two offences,
which could be said to strike at the exist
epce of government.
