the mechanics--the third, the merchants
but the last, and deepest sufferers, will be tht
FARMERS.--Who will be gamers? The
French, in the first instance, by the aid il
gives in support eof their plan of destroying
the British trade. The British will also e
yentuaily be gamers, because if we continue

IN aid Of the kings hroclamasiou--Ou Our adj
ministration have in one manner and another
expressed good deal of anger against the
kings proclamation, for inviting British sails
ors to return home. Now we give it as fact
that number of sailors, amounting as / am
told TO, at least one hundred and fifty, have
taken already their passage on board an Eng
lishbrig bound for Halifax In ballast. And
this morning half dozen rope makers with
stAeir bundles came over from Brooklyn in the
ferry boat, who told gentleman in the boat
from whom had it, that they had been dis
charged from the rope walk at Brooklyn and
were now setting out for Halifax to get en-
ploy. T ne friends the kings proclamation
could not possibly have devised any thing
more directly In aid of it than the danaoa';sso.s
Nay, we drive away not only British sailors.
but our own along with them.

When it is considered, who are likely to
be implicated III g the Shanish CONSPIRACY to
su5uert The Sovereignty ofthe United States,
no wonder can be excited by the attempts
that are made to stihe an i'm partial, rigorous,
and STATE enquiry into this enormous scene
ofdomestfc treason and foreign corruption.
The very man who by his high Office is con-
servator of the peace, honor, safety, and indc-5
4pendence of the US. has passedsovsr the trea-
sonable concealrnent of .heSpanish propesiti-
ons by nudge Innes--and after the said LINES
had declared on his solemn oath before the le-
g1sIature OF kenruvhy, rtrss .
been made to him by the sutherised agents OF
the. Spanish government, to subyert,the sovc-
reigntysof the u. S. which propositions ne
had, fora series ofyears concealed from the
government of the q. S. THOMAS Jefferson
President Of The u. S.nottoaly did not make
any communication whatever touching the
premises to che Legislature of the y. 5, but
suffered the said lines, after this confession OF
criminal practices, to continue IN the high OF
Zee of aJUpGE OF THE UNITED STATES
thereby encouraging, as Jar as sach conduet
cocld oterate the effect, similar attem1ts against
the heace, honor, safety and indetendence ofthe
United Ssates, by any foreign tozver or domestic
traitors.
Who, then, we say can wonder that every
mean should be practised toeyade the enquiry
which has been moved into the Conduct OF the
commander in chief Of the army Who can
wonder that even in contradiction OF establish
ed precedents, it should be declared that Con
rrcss are incompetent to its cognizance.-- lis
it forgotten that Messrs Monroe, Muhien-
berg and Venable, composed committee OF
enquiry on certain allegations against sec,ry
ofthe treasury Or is it of less moment,
that the military force ofthe y. s. should be
commanded by virtuous officer than that Its
treasury with all its checks should be entruss-
ed to anihonest man
