II COUPE GORGE.

1t IS surprising, that any man with
the common feelings, which belong to
human nature, should not loathe the
residence in the same city with such a
monster as our administration COM
mune with under the title Of French
minister--a monster whose crimes are
scarcely equalled by his masters, s,which
like desolating blast have swept eve-
ry living thing from whole districts,
and which reproach heaven in that they
remain so long unpunished. The fol-
lowing extracts afford but faint
sketch of the atrocious character of
that minister, who is placed at Wash
ington to dragoon the executive into
the views of a foreign tyrant, TO realise
whose supremacy over us so many
stratagems have been devised, though
none has yet completely succeeded
To this walking pestilence in the shape
of a human being, our great men at
Washington tremendously pay their
court, make visits and give entertain
ments. 1t is even said, that few of
the citizens of Baltimore, who would
not be thought the worst of their spe-
cies, suffer him to enter their houses
as visitor. If it be so, we should
blush for them. No blessing can en-
ter, where he has been a guest. No
parent can be supposed to value his
children, who suffers them to be
breathed upon BY this living iniquiiy.
but we must cease lest we exhaust
language OF its loathsome terms and
invention of its most hateful images,
without producing an adequate idea of
one, few of whose actions are depict
cd below.

THE AMERICAN FrAc

We are informed by an highly reputable
gentleman, who arrived in the John Adams
frigate, that whilst he was at Hayre. a
brisk and constant trade was carried on be .
tween that port and Great Britain, with
licenses, and principally under the Ameri.
can fag.-This scandalous degradation sub
mitted TO by men, who, according to the
denunIcation OF Mr.. Madison. are "unwor.
thy the name OF Americans" would loudly
call Tor Mr.. M'Klm's denationalization.
but we suppose that both will retract their
furious zeal since their friend Napoleon has
discovered that he can be benefited by
the system.
