dainty evident by all accounts from France.
that there is not the least prospect of a set
Element of our difficulties with Bonaparte.
Every day adds to the number of agrees

citizens and property Of the u. S. by the Of

not Ind the least complaint expressed by
our great men at Washington, whilst every

as Just cause ofwar. Will not every impair
tial man say there is something strange in
these things, that there is more in this con-
duct than meetslthe eye. On this subject tire
Repertory submits three positions. Is there
man in the u. ). who has paid the least
attention to Messrs. Jefferson and Madison's
policy as respects our foreign relations, that
will for a moment doubt their correctness

Col Monroe, who has been employ

the occasion -
Should he differ from the opin-

FOR THE GAZETTE.
Ma. SHIRLEY,

Ma. SHIRLEY,
There are several important reasons why
the Democrats should have majority in the
next Legislature Of this Commonwealth.
One is, that our southern aHti-comnerciaI
Rulers may have no obstacle to their plans
of alliance with France and OF quarrel with
ENGLAND, whose trade is so essential to the
prosperity ofthe northern States.
Another reason is, that we shall have a
Court Of Sessions, at the expense of several
Thousands of dollars annually, for doing a
little County business, now done for nothing
by the Court of Pleas.
A third reason is, that we shall then have
a State Treasurer, who will gr0zp ,ic4 upon
the money of the public and assist in cleo
pioneering to keep up the true democratic
party. The last but not the least is, that
W1r King will then be grati6ed in his OBJ
iect of being a Senator to Congress and anoth-
er great man in the County of Lincoln in
having Mr.. Kings place in the Senate of this
State. And this all for the liberty aud aduan-
tage Of TIE people. lRONICUS

Exyact ofa letter fem gentleman in The
coany gf Lincoln.
Though Massachusetts has lost the cleo
tio1 or Mr.. GoRE, one Of the best Cover
nors that ever received the suffrages Ut a
free people, and that too by the vilest arts
and most abominabe deception ever practr-
sed Yet, when we reflect On the unJustiti-
able means which have been employed 10
prevent the re election of our present gov
ernor, let no man despair of the republic.
The story from Washington about The Brit
ish having reprobated the conduct OF Mr.
Jackson, and having determined TO send out
another Minister, mad considerable effect
orchard Coax, and others had the meanness
TO write this, lust before the election to ma
nv of the democrats in the most positive
terms. But although we must lament the
delusion with which the people were bind
ed. we feel different sensation when we
find a party regardless of the restraints Of
law. ibeleve that excellent law which re-
ouires that list of rateable polls should
be posted up in the different public pla-
ces ID 6avs previous to the election has
been in many instances disregarded by the
democrats. This was the case IN several
towns in this neighborhood, and no doubt in
many other places. 1t is to be hoped that
punishment will overtake the Offenders
though it is too late to prevent the mischief.
There seems to have been determination,
among the democrats to do their utmost for
their own ruin, and have no doubt that
great many illegal votes were admitted. In
Warren, democrat was detected in putting
in two votes. You will observe most ex-
traordinary increase of votes in some towns
where the democrats have the town officers.
But unless we are doomed to destruction,
popularity SO acquired must be OF short du-
ration.

rUes, slain In their country s cause SO
that nothing remains Of this glorious
fabric, but here and there broken lrag-
ment, floating, in melancholy contu-
sion, on the tempestuous waves OF the
sea of liberty striking proof OF the
instability Of all human prospects OF
happiness No country on earth was
blessed with such a character as our be-
loved Washington and no people on
earth ever so soon proved themselves
so unworthy OF SO great blessing.
And his sudden death announced, In &C
cents more terrific than the thunder OF
heaven, that we had forfeited al title to
so great, so distinguished blessing.
Let us then, in much humility, eye
the divine hand of justice, in suffering
such character as J-f-s-n to rule our
beloved country. But ! have conso-
lation in rejecting, that whatever evils
have or may result from the elevation
of improper characters to places OF
power and trust, ! have uniformly CIV

in favor of the Washington policy, and

acter, | shall cheerfully give him my
vote.

BY the last accounts from Spain,i it appears
the affairs of that country are fast Fastening
to crisis. A superior force will in all
probability soon place its liberties indepen-
dence and property in the hands of the ty-
rant of Europe&who would IF not at this mo-
ment opposed by the power OF England
in short time, be the governor OF this and
every other country in the world, who should
refuse to obey his commands. The main
French army in Spain, is under the COM
mand Of King Joseph, and Marshall Victor,
and is in possession Of all Andalusia and
Grenada, excepting Cadiz. Another army
under Marshals Mortier and Soult, were adj
vancing towards Portugal,
Cadiz is defended by an army Of upwards
of 10000 men under the command of Gen.
Venegas and the Duke of Able queque.
The naval force is directed by Ad. Purvis.
Large sums of money had arrived at Cadiz,
from South America, but was not landed
A great amount of American property has
been seized at St. Scbastians 100000 dol
lars of which is owned by merchants of the
small town of Mar5lehead.
Our former accounts mentioned that Con-
gress would adjourn this day, our last &C.
counts say they will continue in session sew
eral days longer. After having spent three
months principally indicating about Macon's
bill, they have exhausted the subject, and
the thing has been consigned to the tomb
Of the Capulets. A second one has been
got up, and is treated much as its predeces-
sor was
Mr. Erskine the British Minister, who
made the famous arrangement with Mr..
Madison, last Spring-the disayowal of
which, has made so much noise in this
country, and furnished the democrats with
most of their electioneering arguments, has
given the reasons which governed his con-
duct in that business. We have not room
this week for his correspondence which
he concludes in these words.
