into silent despotism: and the human mind
losing Its energy, and deprived of hope, vii
fai into barbarity and brutal ignorance.
AS yet, indeed, there is some hope fo
!, although the tyrant himself may be pretty
lrmly seated on the throne--ne is not I'M
, mortal. A successor of another genius
would undo all that he has done.
i From these considerations it is evident
that there are two extremes that we must a.
vold--Demagogues on the one hand, and
despots on the other. The reign of either
IS equally fatal to the happiness Of the hui
man race. To trust to the reason and in
tellgence OF one man, is as absurd as to
suppose that we could make seive that
would separate aud collect the wisdom of
a nation. In books it is true we can collect
the wisdom of ages !; but it is not likely that
1t ever should be concentrated in any form
OF government, left altogether to the direc-
ton OF the human intellect. A thing of this
kind can only be expected in pure Tneo-
! cracy; a form of government, which it is to
! be lamented, man has Indignantly spusned
at, and refused to submit to.
Federalism then is the only hope Of the
human race: the last eHorto man veaIied
with repeated experiments. Small states,
whose leaders, or chiefs, or great men, can
see, with ease, all the bearings and the ties;
ever ready to administer remedy, where,
even the sho. pinches. must be kept ink ID
together in the bonds of federalism, thai tn.
mind Of man mag have liberty to exert It's
faculties, and the human r.ce become one
immense fraternity.

quell and subdue such instructions or
combinations, to seize upon all those
therein concerned, who shall not in
stantly, and without delay, dispense and
retire to their respective abodes and
to deliver them over to the civil author
ity of the place, to be proceeded against
. according to law.

REYOLUITON IN SPAIN.

The followin 9 inrerelting Particu-
lars of the affairs Of Spain, were re-
ceived in letter from Aicant, by
an arrival at Bottom, dated the 27th
March. They are corroborated by
hmilar accounts from other quarters
in Europe:
"O On the 18th inf. the rumour
being fpread at Aranjuez, that the
king and royal family were making
preparations to fet out for Cadiz,
there to embark on board the En-
plilh fquadron, it caused great fer

made their appearance, furrounded
the palace, and United on feeling

under the necenty Of lhewing them

of Peace, who bad already placed a
great number Of coaches and poft-
horfes along the road, took this op-
portunity of telling their majellies
thai their lives were in danger, and
that no time mutt be loft in making
their cfcapc. The Prince of Auliu-

to the Prince of Peace found means
of informing one of his guards of
what was going forward, deGring
him to tell the ref, that if they

A1other account ofthe Fire ar Trinidad.

.A1other Gccsunt ofthe Fire az Trinidad.
ST. GEORGES GRENADA April |.
1t is with deep concern that we lay
before the public the advice Of the dread
full calamity which has befalIen the
Town Of Fort Of Stsafn, in Trinidad,
four fifths Of which was destroyed by
fire, in, the night between the Gath and
25th ult. The deplorable situation of
its inhabitants is thus expressed in let
ter from thence:
Every Merchants store and Lum-
Der Yard, every clearinghouse, every
Doctors and Apothecary's Shop, en-
tirely destroyed, the Public Hospitals,
old and new Government Houses, Gus
tom House, and Protestant Church,
shared the same fate.
In the general calamity few were
able to save their Clothes-number are
deprived Of the means Of replacing
these necessaries, and are from state
of prosperity and afiluence, reduc d tc
hopeless indulgence
This dreadful evil arose from the
carelessness of servants in the kitchen
Of a private family, between the hours
Of 9 and 10 at night, and the town be-
ing entirely built Of wood the progress
of the Rames was irresistably rapid,
and laid the whole in ashes in a few
minutes.

citizens of the Western Country, if Mr..
Martin would be 50 good as to tell the pub
lie what has become of his honorable and
much respected friend, Col. Burr. The
Colonel, we readily admit, did not receive
justice in the city of Richmond but we are
entirely persuaded, tha' if he will come hi
Their, he will be fairly rewarded according
to his works.
The court, composed of Judges Todd and
Byrd, directed that Aaron Burr should be
called and his rec"gnizance read and
FORT iture of the recogniz snce will no doubt
be entered. The counsel for Blennerhas-
set objected tn tho reading of that gentle
mans recognizance. lie Contended that
errors were contained in it, and that he
conceived it to be Indispensable necessary
that Blennerhasset should be first served
with notice, before it can with propriety
he said, that his recognzance ia forfeited.
