as the favingS Of the wilef eco
nomy. The mefages ofthe exec
utiye rung with he applaufeof bis
own meafures and the deludcd
democrats all thought this was
the happy refult Of Mr.. Jef5er-
lon'S administration. The velIel
of fate conducted through the
Perilous forms of European poll
tics had reachedthe portin fafety,
when he was placed at the helm to
guide it, and he was foolilh e.
nough to think, that he was en-
titled to the credit. But now af-
ter the lapfe Of FIVE years, we
would call the attention of every
ferrous and thinking friend Of
his country to a furvey of our
our public affairs. 1t is fad
reverle! Inltead of gaining ref
pe6tability with the increa(e of
our phihcal ltrength, our gov
ermment has become the fport
of diplomatic inlolence. Our
trealury has been exllaulted in
the Parchale of a country whole
limits are underlined and which
will probably colt Us as much a.
gain to iecure it. The necef-
fly Of an efficient navy which
had been forefeen and provided
for by the federal rulers, is now
acknowledged and the money Of
the nanon mu(f be fquandercd

more infuppoTtable to him
The French miniitry has treated
our rulers with contempt. So
has the SPanilh, and all have
Plundered our commerce with
impunity. The French embaf-
fador Gsn. Turreau, through
out the whole Of his letter to the
Secretary Of State, EXPRESSES a
degree Of larcafm on our gov
erAment ani the people, which
no American can read without
emotions Of difpleafure. He
complains Of our trade with St.
Domingo and anilnadverts in a
naughty and cenforious tone,
and Talleyrand in his letter to
Gen. Armttrong, our embana-
dor at Paris, after a iimiIar lfrain
Of obierv2tion and cenfure on
our government, fays : ''France g

Our Falmouth letters received this
morning, restate circumstances similar to
those We communicated yesterday respect
ing sir r. Ssrachaus squadron being in
pursuit OF. French one, aud the men of
war,ot the outward bound West.India feet
being in preparation to assist sir Richard.
Wrought, however, &c remark that at the
admiralty it is thought possible tina, the
supposed enemy's squadron may turn TO
be that under admiral CORVALLIS, whe was
off Ushant on the s1st ult. It be
day or two, or perhaps longer, before the
fact can be ascertained, or the result can
be known.
The national guards. who were called
out as soon as the French army crossed The
Rhine, have been ,dlsembudisd through all
France.
The court Of Naples e1deavors TO ward
off the blow by which its very existence is
menaced. Cardinal RafFo had gone to
Rome for the purpose Of negotiating with
carninal Fesch, the uncle of Napoleon,
and procure the suspension of the march
of the French army. Couriers were dis.
patched TO Paris and Naples with the result
of the conference; and it is impossible but
that St. Cyr may halt, until he SHAH have
received imperative Instructions from the
French emperor. After the yindic,ive
spirit displayed 10 the ,hirty-seventh Bulle-
tin, It does not seem very likely that Ma.
poleon will concede that oblivion of the
queen of Naples conduct to the interces.
| sion Of cardinal Fesch. which he refused
to the enrreaty of the archduke Charles or
| the emperor of Germany.
