JAMES NJ. GARRETT, Esq. is reelected
member of congress for the district of
Essex, sc.
1t is reported that MIR. Madison has re-
ceived letters from England informing him
that Mr.. Percival, not the Duke of Port
land, is at the head of the present admi-
nistration of England.-'rhis Mr.. Percival
is the man who made so much clamor "a
gainst the last ministers for the wonderful
concessions they made this country in the
late Treaty. -
The information received by the Gold
Hunter, in short passage from England,
gives another hopeful account of the situa-
ton of that devoted country under its OIL
gdrchicai government, for monarchy is out
of the questionable name is cheat.
BY those accounts it appears, that the
late British ministry have set the monarch
at defiance and boldly tell their sovereign
lord and ma = f, his most gracious and ex-
cellent majesty-that they TviH mr. resign
their situation and for good reasons they
tell him So
The present ministry are chiefly. made
up of political apostates, they deserted all
their former principles on the death of
Charles FoC--for the advantage ofhLaces,
and pensions, and wealth, to be extracted
from the suffering population of England,
as the price of their apostacy, and joiuing
the GrenUiLe party.
And we see them in few months become
guilds, and partaking the fate of all apostates
from principle--the dupes of the federal
harry they associated with and for whose
interests they abandoned the cause of the
people-and at last turned over 10 the exc
Grafton of that very people whose cause
they had professcd to advocate.
However, this change In the British min
istry holds out another confirmation of what
we have constantly and uniformly asserted
whether CbrieS For, or Roland is prime
minister-Pip or Ro6eSfiierre-D Denton
or iItfUiHe-JenkinSon or NEdra:-or Per-
cfOGk or Foug1ie7. IdinUiHe-the public
accuser; the poor people of Britain are on
ly the prey OF one set of herftfes and blood
suckers, to succeed each other, and whose
only aim In pursuit ofpower is the plumber
of their fellow citizens
One set of hungry relations succeed ano-
ther In foreign appointments, for the express
purpose of enriching themselves from the
plumber of neutrals.
Inrespect TO the CATHOLIC question, there
is no doubt but the king of England accor-
ding 10 the fireSent maxims of the British
government, is i'll the right, so Ear as il con-
Germs the real character Of the government
for if the king of England does justice to
the Catholics he must do justice likewise
to the PreSbyterians-to the Bahists-to
the Methods 's--to the Qnakers, and to e.
very other sect-but the present monstrous
combination of church and state, can only
subsist by persecution and fnjWstice-this
the clergy of the present church establish
ment OF England Enow--and they play on
the mad mind of a mad, or besotted monarch
by the help of a religious fanaticism OF
OF such men. as the bishops of Rochester and
Cahter6ury-and tell that stupid monarch
that religious federation, would be an in
fraction of his coronation oath
George III-with qualms of conscience
of breaking his coronation oath-that stu
pid king, whose whole reign, from the first
moment of his mounting the throne, has
been one continued infraction of his coro-
nation oath, and of every obligation human
and diyine-iook TO america.
George III. have qualms of conscience
under whose reign more blood has been
shed in the East Indies, than was ever shed
under all the tyrants and monsters Of the
Roman emperors in the most remorseless
periods Of black barbarity.
George IlI-have qualms of conscience
only owing to whose interference, the
SLAVE trade would have been abolished in
England fifteen years ago.
And now George III. pretends to have
religious scruples to give federation to Pres
byferfdns, luethodi8ts, Bafitisfs, and Qua
kers.
Behold federalists, your admired British
government, that stupendous fabric of hui
man wisdom. -Hurora.
The new revolution in the British cabi-
net is only the prelude 70 another-it will
be but an imitation of several former cham
ges-the whole go out, but only to make
way for the return ola tart ;-those who
apostatized from the principles of For will
be deprived of the places for which they
sold their principles-and the old iorv par
ty of JeHkiHsoR and Dunda8 will rule the
rOast-till it burns. Id.
