that the FRENCH wcre in Possession

rece we'd Bo!tinl0re papers OF the 5th instant,
announcing the arrival at that place of the
vessel above alluded to. She left the Ise
OF Sylt, (mouth ofthe Eyder) on the 30th OF
July. Verbal intelligence by her state Il at
from tie ID to the 9th OF July series of hard
fighting took place between the Frerch al d
Austrian grand armies, which terminated in
the total overthrow Of The dusriaas! and
that the Arch Duke Charles, after being
wounded, solicited a cessation Of hostilities,
winch was granted on his delivering up the
fortresses in his power. The bearer ofthis
report says he read the bulletins and an ar.
mistice that had been entered into by the
two contending powers.
Opposed to the above, is a letter by the
same arrival, from Hamburg, dated July
81, which makes mention Of them as mere

Among the choicest privileges ol
free press, is that OF investigating the
conduct Of those men who are entrust-
ed with the management OF national at
fsirs. Through that medium alone Can
the great mass of the people become
acquainted with their merits, or prop.
erly appreciate the conduct of their ru-
iers.-Wrest from US this privilege,
and oblige us to league with the iaco-
bins OF the day, in intoxicating the sla-
wish doctrine, that they can do no
wrong !" aud the virtue of our ciuzens
would afford but a feeble barrier against
an oligarchy, as despotic as that Of the
proud Corsican himself. In short, the
fell spirit of despotism, with her whip
of scorpions, would Danish from our
land every vestige of civil liberty, and
our birth-rights be bartered for kss
than mess Of Foliage.
We are led 10 these reflections, by
the low, vulgar rant of the .drg,ta scrib-
blers, in their murmurs at our exercis-
ing the privilege of laying before our
readers, the letters of a number of A.
merlcans who have been SO unfortunate
as to fall into the hands OF the French
Ityrant and who are petitioning in vain
the unfeeling wretch who mis-repre-
sents the u. States in France, for his
kind interference to obtain their Tier.
alton. From the numerous Complaints
which have been made against eur min.
lister at Paris, we have long been of the
opinion, that the good of our country,
required his recall and as the facts
contained in the letters above alluded
to, were calculated to confirm that o.
pinion, we conceived it our duty to give
them publicity and that, too, as much
for the purpose of showing the peridy
OF the French emperor, as MIR. Arm
strong's cruelty.
We hope, for the honor Of our coun-
try, that the charges against Mr.. Arm.
strong will prove unfounded but as
his friends have failed to produce any
guilt, than their Aare assertions land
they are trivial enough, in all con.
science] we submit to the judgment
ofthe community, which il entitled to
the most credit, the narratives Of un-
fortunate sufferersin French dungeons,

{" Millions for defence, 6ut nor a cent for

When the present revolution in Spain was
trst known in this country, great clamor
was raised by the tories to SUSPEND the en-
barge against Spain, and trade with her on
the same footing as we had been accustom.
ed, Notwithstanding her privateers had cap
tured a number of our vessels, (many, if not
all have been condemned) on pretence Of
violating her orders similar in their ten
dency to the existing ones in France.
An independent mind would suppose es.
pecially as the tories say they are fond Of
an energetic government, that they would
have spurned az the idea of again trading
with her, till she had made restitution for
illegal captures Of our vessels under those
orders.
When Britain issued her orders against
our trade with her enemies, unless we paid
her tribute for carrying it on, the tories
were the first to support the measure and
daily inveigh against the government Of the
v. ). for not acceding to II, not withstand
ing their former professions Of "milllons
for defence, but not cent for tribute"
