Ex-BASHAW OF TPIPoLL

,EX-BASHAW OF TPIP0LL
A few minutes after the house had pro.
ceeded to business this day, message m
wiring from the president of the Unlted
States, was delivered 10 the speaker.
The message and the documents accom-.
panyiug it were very long. Ii stated that
ne laid before the senate and house OF re.
personalities the application for assistance
OF the ex-bashaw of Tripoli, fIames Cara.
meHi. lttakes'a view of that part of .he
war with Tripoli, where Mr.. Eaton Joined
the forces of the ex bashaw.
Itappears that aftsrfutting the ex-bashaw
into possession of the city of Derne, a
place of great importance in tina, country,
he was unable TO raise~a force sufficient %
cooperate with us By land against Tripoli,
and that colonel, Lear, for this amongst
other reasons, when all was ready for an
attack by+sea, thought it the best time TO
negociars for peace.
1t also appears that the ex.bashaw's ex.
pectations went TO being placed on the
throne by means of the American force.
This hope is, by the message of this day,
called a<'s mistaken idea" 1t also admits
that all the ex-bashaw got by the peace,
was, and that with considerable difficulty,
the release Of his family. So far as TO the
mcssageat present, it being ordered to be
printed.
Il is clear from the communication, that
after the unfortunate Hamet had obtained
the release of his family, ne had not where
withall to~maintain them, or eventhe means
of securing their safety, or perhaps his
own life. 1t did not appear in what part
of the world the unhappy man has taken
refuge; but, from one of the documents.
accompanying the message we are told, that
Mr.. Eaton and lieutenant Obannan had re.
solved to conquer or perish with Hamet.
Mr.. Eaton avows ! cooperation with him,
which he admits to be SYNONYMOUS to an
alliance. This admission, recognized by
the president, certainly places him upon
the footing of an ally. 1t will therefore
behove congress to look into the state 10
which we left this ally, when Mr.. Lear
patched up this peace.
AS soon as. the message, and a-memorial
from Georgia about the boundaries of that
state and North Carolina, in which they
could not agree, had been read. Mrs. aek-
son undertook to turn US this day ont of
the gallery, by moving TO have ,he doors
closed. This is either the ninth OK te;nh
day OF secret business.
Closed Doors When Fedes alists ruled,
to close the doors Of Congress- two or three
zines during the session, excited eli the
fears of the Democrats fer the safe,yof the
constitution; and Immediately, the .'osg gan
OF the public will" sounded the alarm
which was re-echoed by the touls of the par.
~ from one eud Of the unien 70 the other.
The cry then was, that > government Of
free country should not keep any secret, no
NOT for an instant, from the view Of the
people; and it was promised that, if Mr..
Jefersonwere made President, the proceed.
ings OF every kind whatever should be car
ried on under the most public inspection.
Whas has the sequel produced It has pro-
duced, IN this as In numberless other in.
stances, conduct directly the reverse of all
the expectations which the party took such
incessant pains to create. The fact will
warrant US, it is believed, in asserting
that during the one monththe, present Con-
gress have been IN session, the doors ofthe'
house have been more frequently closed
than they were any whole session during
the twelve years OF the Federal adminis,ra-
ton Not a week pew pa.sesin which
