GIVE THE. DEVIL HIS DUE.

Francis James Jackson.-There are persons
who frequent our CoGee- House, tina, some
time since complained Of the :nimadvcrsions
which were made on the peculiarly of the
character chosen by the British government,
to send asa negociator to the United States
What, said they, have we 10 do with Mr..
Jackson's character 1" Is lie not sent here to
represent the government of Great Britain I"
+" 1t is totally unimportant to us what govern
ments in Europe, he may have bullied and in
suted--hc did nothing more or less than what
he was instructed to do by his government,
and therefore personality is out of the ques-
ton, let our government receive him as if he
was the best man in the world, and try
whether he will insult u.s."
This reasoning was incontcs,ibly correct,
and it was accordingly adopted by the cxecu-
tive. Mr.. Jackson was received as the Plcn-
ipotentiary of the British government, with
out any notice being taken of the indc-
ccncy of sending US as peace makcr--such
a character as Mr.. Jackson.-What say those
partizans Of Great Britain now that this re-
preventative of the British government has
added the bit to the blows, which our govern
mcnt had previously received from the Eng
lish government
Why, truly, that this last insult is merely
hersonai--that it is not an affair between the
two governmenfs--that it has been occasioncd
by the peculiarly hot temper and vulgar man.
ifers Of friend Barclays friend Jackson-that
eur government have done right in putting
the affront ON the mere footing of personality
and offering to receive any other minister
from the British government.
Indeed hardly know an object which
would be more entitled to commisscration.
than this same Copenhagen negociator, if
did not know to certainty, that his feelings
have been long since prepared by anticipation
to sustain with cquanimity, the abuse and
scorn which this Job has cast upon him from
all quartcrs--fricnds as well as enemies.
That our administration have acted cor
rectly, in declaring ON the dismissal of Jack
son, that they would receive another minister
from England, is perfectly true. But 1t Is
not true, that they have placed the affront
merely on personal footing. In diploma
tick discussions, between the ministers of ma
tions, there Is NO such thing known as per-
sonality. II Mr. Jackson's affrons had been
tersenai, the afFront must have been to Mr.,
Smith, the Secretary Of State, who conduc-
ted the correspondence, and those who know
Mr.. Smith, know well that he would receive
the lie from no man with impunity. The
real truth of the matter is--that Mr.. Jackso,,
was sent out for the express purpose Of con,-

cirsing the spindle. Some miror improve
ments arc added to the above. A press On
this construction can be made for about hall
tie price of the common press.
The successful ingenuity with which some
men have imposed upon the world with POM
pous' Annunciations of New and important
Inventions" has become so common that
whom we hear of " New invention" we are
apt to considerthc appcllation as SYNONYMOUS
with new imposition. But we can safely as
sure the publick that this is not the case with
either of the above machines. We have
viewed both Of them and have conversed with
,uany of our best Informed citiz ems, who arc
fully convinced that they cannot fail to realize
the most sanguine expectations of the inven-
tors. We have tried the printing press with
our own hands, and think it would be doing
injustice to merit, not to compliment MIR.

mechanical genius.

n,e,ens the Degradation of this Country, by
;nsul,ine our administration TO their very
beards-and that in the mode generally adop-
ted nv the lowest blackguards. Mr.. Jackson
,vas chosen as the ft,est instrument for the
nnrnose. and his employers have not been dis
snnointed in their man-he has completed
the lob he undertook, and has nothing TO do
! but receive payment Cor it. 1t is shame-a
great shame for his old friends to abuse him
for fulfilling his contract.
Thus il is also, tnat poor Canning and Cas-
tIereagh are abused by their old friends in this
country, and their retirement from Office hail
ed a the barbinger of change of measures
towards the United States.-Lord help us
how little do the simpletons who really be-
lieye in this, know of the materials which
compose the British govcrnment--and the
manner in Which the affairs Of the nation are
conducted.
I The king, the queen, the Hawkesburys the
MclyilIes, the Dundas, the Edens, and other
tories who have sworn eternal hatred to this
country, keep behind the curtain and make
use of such people As Canning, Perccval,
Castlereagh, and Jackson, as tools to execute
their objects and whenever the edge wears
off them, they either send them to be ground
over again, or throw them by as unfit for use
and take up other instruments to work with,
Let us /" give the devil his due. 1T is not
Jackson that we have TO blame for this last
affront. 1t comes from the government Of
Great Britain, and Englishnen have now to
boast that 4" the Yankees have got both the
lie and the blow, and poor devils they dare
not resent IL

TIE JUBILEE.

We have taken some pains to ascertain the
different modes to celebrate the approaching
entry of his Majesty into the fifticth year of
his reign subject which has cngrossed
the publick attention for some time.
The failosy ehandlers recommended gen.
eral illumination. 1t being lac most effectual
mode, they assert, Of Displaying the loyalty
OF the people.
The fayiors advise that every man appear
iii a nerv suit of the Windsor uniform. His
loyalty will then appear as stiff as buckram.
The clofhiers back the recommendation Of
the taylors, simply adding, that the cloth be
Of British manufacture.
The butchers contend that there should be
general feast but with this difference
the earcase butchers are for giving their ley
atty wholesaler roasted oren, and sheep,
while cutting butchers are in favour of joints.
The insoivens de6fsrs advised, that the pris-
cns end lookup houses be all thrown open
The gaoiers, lawyers, and baiH6s conceive
that liberty Of this kind would tend to liccnti-
ousncss.
The old maids contend, that all single men
between II and 81 years of age be compelled
to marry ON that day, and thus endeavour to
fill up the chasn left in our population by the
lasc expeditions.
The miiners recommended all the ladies
10 appear in new Jubilee cahs and bonnets.

NEW INVENTIONS.

Gentlemen Of this town have lately been
very much grati6cd with the exhibition Of the
ingenuity Of one Of our citizens. A machine
has lately been invented by M. B. Belknap,
Esq. for the purpose Of making hammered
nsi!s. 1t is SLOWED by all who have seen 1t,
gentlemen from Europe as we'll as Ameri-
cans, to be an entirely new and different
combination Of mechanical powers from any
thing heretofore invented. Its operation is
quick and powerful and wen timed for the
purpose, as any thing that can be conceived
or wished. Il will form nails or spikes OF
any description from ship spikes to sadler's
tacks. Brads may also be formed With great
expedition, BY detaching that part of the ma
chine which heads the nail, il goes through
the operation Of forming, cutting and head
ing nail in two seconds. Two nails may be
introduced at once, and two nails of different
sizes formed at th, same time, without i'm
pcding the operation Of the machine.
1t has been so far carried into operation on
a small scale as to exhibit convincing proof
of the correctness of the principle, and will
undoubtedly become Of the greatest pubiick
utility Of any thing hitherto invented in that
branch of business. We Understandable Mr..
Bclknap has sent on to Washington to secure
patent right.
Il Printing Press on asw eonsfruefion.
Innumerable efforts have been made
oF late years to improve the present con-
-truc,ion Of printing presses but all, except
tbs ono we are about to mention, have pro-
we'd abortiyc.
Nrr.Samucl Fairiamb, printer, Of this town,
has lately constructed press on new plan,
which bids fair to be Of much utility. Instead
of screw he substitutes two inclined planes,
moving on rollers placed in the summer, In q
circle OF six inches diameter. The aavan-
s<rc Of this invcmion consists IN avoiding the
friction common to screw and making the
pressing power much easier and moro efFec-
,,aal. The plstten IS supported by two spiral

AGAINST DRUNKENNESS.

II by an swfui visitation of Divine Provi-
dcucs, there were spreading over all parts of
This country, foul and loathsome Lcprosy,
which poisoned and dis6gurcd the bodies of
its victims, and affected their minds with
madness or with idiotism il this leprosy had
seized great part of our useful laborers and
rendered them burthcn to the community
if the prospects and the hopes of large por-
ton of our promising young men had been
already blasted ard destroyed by 1t it 1t had
infected more or less, every town and every
village, and were spreading its ravages, from
year to year, wider and yet wider if this
were the actual condition Of our country,
there is no telling how great would be the a
larm. Neither this nor any similar calamity,
Heaven be praised, has been brought upon
our country by the direct hand of Providence,
which has showcrcd on Us blessings without
number, and in great abundance. But human
folly and wickedness abuses the kindness Of
Providence and changes its blessings into
ours cs.
Let sober reason Judge, whether drunken
ness, ha6ituai drunk enness, be not as bad, nay
even worse, than the fatal Lehrosy have des.
cribcd. It impairs and corrupts both body
and mind, ant y ings down the noble creature
man level wiih the brute. IL destroys all
moral principle, all sentiments of honour,ard
feelings or humanity. 1t changes good ma

feeling monster, a dutiful son to an unprinci.

hand destroys that ncble faculty which had
distinguished him from the beasts that per-

what he has written without being the wifer

hunts after parado1es, which, like meteor,
ierve only to aitonifh and perplex, nor has he
balanced his fentences, and rounded his periods
with faitidous deicacy His writings are

A conviction of the diftinguifhed merit of
DrPALrYs publications and of the eltimations
an which they are held in this country, has
prompted to the undertaking, to which the
public attention is invited in the above propo-
falls. Now, when the life aud Iabours of this
eminent man are, by the will of Providence,
cloled, II was conceived thar many would be
defirous Of pode1ing an entire copy of all his
publications, printed in an uniform manner,
and in handiome ityle of execution. This,
the editor engages to perform, if iuiiahie en-
enlargement ihouId be given to his propofas.
The .maller tracts, which have not had gem
eral Gil culation in the country, will he found
to embrace intereiting topieks, treated in that
peripieuous, eaiy manner, which diliaguilhes
all the writings Of the author.
