.exhausting all the arts of deception and re-
sources of corruption, to deludc, and seduce
Republicans from theft standard The fed

aid OF Republicans, and they have the folly
to count upon that aid. Yes, Republicans,
the federal faction, think you weak and Gre
dutous enough to be made the dupes OF their.
intrigue end artiice. They boast Of their
talents at deception and Of the success they
have heretofore had in this Infamous work.
They glory IN their shame. With this open
profession, and boast of their insidous de-
signs against you, they expect TO blind and
mislead you, to make you the Instruments of
your own defeat,-to make you immediate

cause you are engaged in,--.ift them, youI
enemies, into power, to enable them to tread
you under their ieet, and TO crush every Re-

federal enemy. Be on your guard. Every
possible scheme and engine Of deception and
seduction is on foot and at work to overcome
you ;-hattery, promises, money, calurony,
slander, lies, sophistry, mis-statement, mis-
represcntation,-in a word the whole machn-

The Jefferson administration, paid towards
the pubiick debt double the amount paid
by the proceeding administrations, and this
goes to make up what the Jefferson adj
ministra,ion are charged with having spent !.
thus the applying OF money to the psy,nent
oi debts should be considered as waste ol
money Is new doctrine, and rather heretical
he true test OF national economy Is invol-
we'd IN this question. Where the occasions
ot expenditure proper, where the sums dis
barsed necessary for those occasions. To
apply this test, to the scveral Expenditures o.
government, would lead to statement oi
great length, exceeding the limits of this ad-
dress, but is not necessary, for MIR. Potter,has
not undertaken to shew that any one single

BY a licenced trader which arrived on Sa .
turday from MARAICAYBO, we learn that
the Spani ards there had declared themselves
independent, imprisoned the deputies sent
out by the Spanish Regency, superseded the
governor OF Carthagena, and the people i'm
mediately appointed a successor. This rev
o!ution no doubt will extend rapidly over the
whole continent Of South America, and in tse
present circumstances, we think it the only
means by which that country can he rescu-
cd from Tie dominion of Bonaparte The
Spanish troops we understand, to take part

No intelligence of Importance from the

Spaniards avoided pitch battles. and by pur-
suing a system Of partizan warfare, greatly
wearied and perplexed the enemy.
Napoleon has given his troops in Spain to
understand, that they can expect no pay
from France, but must obtain their recon-
pence and subsistence from Spanish contribu-
tfons. the city ofSalamanca has been Gbm-
paed to furnish 10000 beds, for the French
hospitals; and great numbers of soldiers were
dying every day.
The head quarters of Regnier, were at
Merida. The troops of Ballesteros. occupi-
ed Aracena, and Valverde del Canine but
afterwards retired on the approach of the
French. Askirmish ensued aud the French
again retired, An advanced guard of the
enemy entered Talavera la Real: and ano.
