National 1ntcllig enccr, the following propo-
lsitiofl IS seriously made, in defiance OF the.
experience Of ages, of the habits and man
ners of the country, and IN contemptnous
disregard Of the spirit Of our constitu-
tom
g If to shew the practicability of such a
syssem, an application OF i were required,
the following plan might be proposed
Camps Of instruction might be formed in
FIVE or SIX convenient positions, according
to the extent or number Of the inhabitants
of the country. ALL the young men from
18-to IS years Of age, with a few peculiar
exceptions. should be divided into four
classes, each Of which would by turns spend
three months, tfispersed in the different
camps of instruction. Each class during
It's stay in the camps, would form the
STANDING ARMY Of the country, and as
such receive :he stated pay Of the line.
Citizens of America do not view this
alarming proposal as coming from the edi-
tor of that paper. His mind, weak, by ma
ture, could never have conceived plan SO
logically vicious and bold in its nature, SO
destructive in its consequences and It has
so long been under the immediate contro,
of Others that if he had conceived it, he me-
yer would have ventured to propose 1t,
without the sanction Of those who are alike
the keepers of his purse and his conscience.
Rely upon it this comes from the same hand
which promises to destroy the L1lHbutian
bands in which your fathers encircled you,
for the protection Of your lives, your llber- 4
.ty and your property.

som of an American can submit to this de-
graduation, if the honorable sweat which

). STRIVING THE ENGLISH ISL 1N'DS!
The following are extracts OF letters from
two mercantile houses of the first re-
spectability, in Antigua, dated 18th and
q 15Sh Oct. received by gentleman Of
Baltimore.
q This island has not suffered much in
consequence of the embargo. From the
Western Islands we have had many vessels,
erhieAvwith corn, and, very fine potatoes &
onions-and from Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. abundance of dry and picked
FISH, independent of large cargoss OF -four,
re meal. and almost every other kind of
provisions that America produces. In adj
dition, the planters have become farmers
the quantities of potatoes, vans, ed
docs and corn, that they have planted,
and from which they have had ample
and unexpected returns, have afforded
them a source Of supplies totally unex-
pected. From Canada not one barrel OF
-four has beenreceiyed, but from England
several thousands. Superhne retails now
at twenty dollars. We havehad every yes
selfrom st. haelconslgned to us, two
ships, two briggs and achooner, and the
corn has averaged about two and halt dol
lars perbushel. IF Great Britain would or
II get two or three ofthe Western Islands
and cultivate the corn with British industry
and capital, the American farmers would
have to repent the embargo. In war the
British convoy, that comes out half loaded.
could fill up at St. Michael, and in peace
lie returning ships would never come out
empty"

Virginia. contalns the following severe AZ
sault upon Mr.. Madison.
s Mr.. Madison it is true has written
much, but there is I great difference Be
tween writing essays and conducting the at
fairs Of 4 great nation with advantage.
The character of a statesman ought to be
estimated in a certain degree by his success;
for measures which are well planned, gene
rally ensure it. We Will ask in what has
Mr.. Madison succeeded He has brought
us by variety of meandering movements
to the brink of war, not with one power on
", bat with France and Great Britain, and
their respective allies. His long Iucnbra-
lions have not averted, that we know of, a
single calamity from our country. They
have not had the effect Of intimidation on a.
ny power, and they have been equally I'M
successful in the way of concihation. We
despair of his being able to extricate us by
any faculties which he possesses, from our
present embarrassments and still greater
difficulties
