The New York Evening Pot, of
April :, gives the following article
u der head Of
g Pirate Correlb6ndence.
i" In a letter received this morning,
by the delpatch veiltl arrived at Nor
folk, from highly Respectable Amer
ican, who had an interview with Mr..
Armitrcng at Paris. the 18th Jan. it
is ttated, that
" The French Government had re-
fuled TO make any kind OF fettlemen
with America at preient.--Orders
have already been fent to Naples and
Spain, 70 fequeaer and con6lcate all
American property in thofe King
doms, or that may arrive there. At
Naples they have taken ponefIion of
the proper Y, and begun to sell it at
auction. Thefe orders, it was ex-
p-tted, would be put in force in
France and Holland Within a few
days. The French Government ap-
pear determined to take into their
pofcllion all American property
within their grafp, and keep it till
a further determination.
Portland gazette and Maine advertiser., 1810-04-16

The fate of Holland has at length
been finally decided. BY a decree
Of Napoleon of Jan. 20, the coun-
try between the Meux & the Scheld
is taken into the poheilion of the
French troops, under the Martial de
Reggie; and, it is reported, that king
Louis is under an arrelt, for daring
to remonltrate againif the occupation
of his kingdom. The pof1eiling ar
my is called the army of Brabant.
They have taken potienion Of BriOl

To establish and support dirty
cause, requires dirty means and dirty
instruments. When low bred fell
low, to crafty the mean propensities
Of his nature, wishes to bespatter his
neighbor with filth, he employs, as as
sailants in the business, those whose
habits are not opposed to the underta-
king, and whose clothes will not be
soiled in the execution. Those only
of the lowest origin, who have been
employed in the most serviie Offices, s
whose ideas and prospects extend no
higher than the dunghill, can be per-
suaded to engage in work of this
kind and these would rummage a
iakcs, with the same readiness that they
would decorate a parlour, and waliow
in the SHAMELESS With as much pleasure
as in participating of splendid festi-
val Decent people, whose habilimcnts
and hands are clean, are shocked at
such impurities, and with horror fiy
from the pollution. AS the external
actions and appearance may be debas-
ed, so the temper and qualifications Of
the mind are often correspondent We
find some possessing neither taste, SEN
sIbiiity, nor shame, incapable of man
ly sentiment, prone to sudden gusts Of
passion, disgusting those near them
with their ribaldry, obscenity and pro-
faneness, venting their impotent mall
ice in torrent Of vulgar abuse, bestow-
ing unmeaning cpithets, and railing in
Discriminatory at all around them.
These observations forcibly apply to
the system Of democracy now ravaging
and Gernoralizing this country, and
! threatening 70 lay waste all that is de-
cent, orderly, and of good report. It
avoids decorum, urbanity, and veraciEy,
as instlnctiyely as the owl fees the
haunts Of men by day. 1t cherishes an
implacable animosity against the vir-
tues which are esteemed sacred by ci-
yilzed society. The leaders, early
convinced that talents, integrity, and
undertaking rectitude would, if unre-
strained, be the ruin Of the party, en-
ployed unremitted efforts to eradicate
them from the earth. The means they
employed We're calculated to produce

The Fame, Capt. Stone, mas arri-
we'd at Norfolk, from Calais, France
with dispatches to our govern ment.
Capt Stone, who left France, ian.
22d, informs, that there is no truth
in the intelligence received by way of
kondon, that General Armitrong
had adjufed our affairs with the
French government fuch a report
was circulated about the beginning of
Jan. bat it was foon contradi6ted,
by more fevere meafures againit the
American vehels, which with their
cargoes IN the ports Of Spain and Tia
" have been leouefered.
The Fame was bound from this
port to Tonningen, and was captured
as we mentioned in our papers about
fix weeks iince. The vefel and car
go were American, and had not been
boarded, nor otherwile liable to cap
ture under the French DEGREES. On
the arrival Of the Fame at Calais,
the Crew were fent to prifon, and the
cargo taken out and depoGted, by
the owners Of the privateer, in their
own flores. Capt. S. went 10 Paris
TO obtain redrefs, but feeling no hope
of obtaining it, or of being brought
TO trial in any Reasonable time, or if
ever, he was induced 10 make the
bef terms he could, by giving up
part OF the property to fave the re-
mainder, and which are the only
means by which the citizens of this
country can fave any part Of their
property, which falls into the hands
of the French cruilers. The treat
ment Of the Americans in France is
fhameiul, and demands the interpoG-
ton OF out government. The crews
are imprifoned OH their arrival by
ihort allowance and cloie conhne-
ment, they are too, frequently indu-
ced TO enter on board Of French pri-
vateers in order to get liberated. The
commlilary Of prifoners receives from
twenty to thirty guineas from the
owners Of the Privateers for each
feaman discharged from pri(on The
conlequence of this may Be foreieen;
the poor fellows are captured by
Bfitilh cTuifers, when they are con-
iidered as prifoners Of war, to efcape

The rupture with Mr. Jacklon had

hamsnt but Lord Grey in the
House of Lords, Feb. 1, had called for
the correspondence, since dpriI last,
between Mr.. Canning and Mr.. Frs

ley said should be produced, togeth-
er with any other papers, If neces-
sary. In the House OF Commons Feb.

MAXIMS.

" The truth is nat to be spoken at all
HmeS"--is maxim much oftener re-
peated and practiced by men of indi-
rect, than of honest, independent,
minds. AS maxim for general use,
1t is in fact the first lesson in the art Of
lying, and the devil could not have con-
trived better one. 1t makes Truth
an article of convenience in the out set.
and Conscience d Judge with unde6-
nsble discretionary Powers-All this
is iatlering to free agent, but poor
security for his morals. Fhe ancients
considered the 4" suppression of truth"
as species of falsehood and surely
christianity was not intended to relax
oufsaprality. The difference between
him Nho is cunning, cautious and cal
culadfg in his suppression of the truth.
and him who disregards it altogether
is, that the former considers truth a
convenient handmade to his ruling
passion--the latter thinks her not
worth keeping. There is another max
i'm OF more use in the common concerns
OF life because it assists our Judgment
in the estimation of characters.
che who fears to tell, COMMONLY
fears to hear, Truth. I'm other words.
that discretionary conscience, which 10.

ing for truth as its object, is only look.
ing for directions how it shall be evad-
ed and when not told---'s makes cow
