The Baltimore Federal Republican
has ccnjoted up curious dialogue be-
tween Mr. Giles and Mr.. - Dash!
Pray. who is Mr.. Dash! Wagner
& Co.have been long famous for their
dashing. They have dashed at Mr..
Jefferson; they have dashed at Mr..
Madison they have dashed at the Sc
cretary of State and now, forsooth,
they dash at Mir. Giles. Doubtless
these political foplings would dash their
own brains out, if that were possible {:
but natore has put it out ct the .questi-
on, by just giving them Enough for a
cement to their skulls. Dash, in
deed! Mister --! Why, this is
the most silly Invention that even a
printers devil could think on TO injure
man of reputation. 1t is truly wor-
thy of the Genii that preside over the
Federal Republican, that precious de-
post ofpoliticai Filth and scum, which
is disowned by almost all the respecta-
ble.mensof it's own party, and IS only
upheld by such individuals as Harper.
What varIets the baltimore Fede-
raj Republican jockies are! Never

to warn their countrymen of the dam

seizing our property. Now, the fact
is The federalists always ridiculed the
idea that France could injure our trade.

that Bonaparte's DEGREES were mere
noise-brutum fi1men! Quincy blub-
bered IN the same stile against the en-
barge; so did Ely, and Livermore,
from Massachusetts, and so did all
the federalists in Congress. And now
the federal prints have the audacity to
turn about and cry, zue told you 50 =!
Told what? Did they ever tell or say
any thing bu', taae off the embargo !

Wen, off It came, sure enough and I,
gvhere are 1Ue nov2 Why, just where
the Republican Prints always said we
should be, if the embargo was taken off
at the mercy of the billigerents.
Surely the public remember this very
well, and yet such nibhling vermin as
Wagner & Co. have the audacity to
clai,n the merit of prophecy on the
occasion. But, what is 1t, in the name
of Heaven! that these fellows will not
sag and do too!

The English burnt all the American
vessels that went on shore in the storm,
which they could get at; and it could not
be ascertained tina, any American vessels
were burnt by the French, or that any
Americans were made prisoners by them.
SO busy were the English in burning The
American vessels, that they did not give
the necessary assistance 10 their own trans

Sir Francis Burdett has served the
Speaker Of the House of Commons
and the SERGEANT at Arms, with notice
of an action in the Court of Kings
Bench, for an assault and false impri.
sonment. His notice to the Speaker
was read in the House of Commons
last night. The right claimed by the
House of Commons, and acted upon
by the SERGEANT at arms, will thus re-
ceive legal discussion and decision.

the daughter of the Senator Lucien
Bonaparte arrived in that city Lucien
either disguised with the apostacy of
Napoleon, or fearing for the perma-
hence of his power, has long declined
to partake of his fortune. The arri-
val of his daughter at Paris, is proba-
bly, the signal for reconciliation be-
tween the two brothers. We also find
from the German papers, that the
blessings of military CONSUMPTION
are to be extended to Naples, Dem
mark, and all the other countries and
states which enjoy the benefit of
French fraternity. The following is
the only article deserving notice, not
already before our readers:
Banks of the Elbe, March az
The recent union of Hanover makes
the politicians on the Continent very
doubtful as to the ultimate success of
the negotiations of peace that may be
opened with Great Britain. The 10y
al inhabitants of the Electorate of
Hanover, so partial to their lawful &
adored Monarch, are, literally speak
ing, filed with despair at this calami-
tous event, which is considered by
them true national disaster. We
hope that England will use severe re-
Prisals on this account ag iinst France.
The most recent accounts from Pa
ris state, that Monsieur Durmoutur-
who is to go as Ambassador from
France, is to use both promises and
threats to induce America to make an
alliance with France, and break off
with England.

SOUND LOGIC.

American ships could not have been
seized by the French, if they had been
detained in the ports of the u. States.
The embargo would have detained
them, and the republicans were in ia
vor Of the embargo.
The federalists opposed the embar-
go: the embargo was repealed-the
vessels put TO sea.
Therefore, the opposition which the
}ederaiists maintained against the EN-.
barge is the cauae of the seizure of A
merican property in France.

In the last Dltch Papers, very
important Decree Of the Danish CO.
vernment is noticed, by which it ap.
pears, that the Court Of Copenhagen
has resolved to carry into practice the
principle. that sc free bottoms make
free goods" It is stated, on the au-
thority of a letter from Copenhagen,
that the Danish Chancery has issued
an Order relative to Captures and
Prizes, aud which, among vsrious new
regulations, contains the following -
Letters of marque shall henceforth
be given only to Danish citizens, and
for vessels carrying guns, and having
crews suitably armed. None but ex-
perienced seamen to have the COM
mand'of privateers. Securities to be
given by the captains for the compen-
sation of damage done by the impro-
per exercise of their authority. No
ship to be taken within the Jurisdicti-
on of friendly or neutral States, which
jurisdiction is, according to the COM
mon acceptation. understood to extend
one nautical mile from the laud.--
With respect to the sound, it is parti-
cularly directed that captures shall not
be made uader the Swedish batteries,
nor within gun-shot of the Swedish
coast. Whereas free ships make free
goods, no vessel belonging to a neu-
trail or friendly power can be detained,
to whomsoever the cargo may belong,
provided the ships papers are found
to be good, and the vessel is not laden
with con,raband of war for England,
or is not in dessr respects of suspici-
Gus character. On the contrary, if the
ship be not free, it follows as conse-
quence that the cargo is not free. En-
glish ships having false papers, carry
ing goods, contraband of war, or sail
ing under the protection OF English
conveys in the Nor:h Sea and the Bal
tic, are good prizes"
