Yesterday morning, abou; Q o'clock, our
town was alarmed by the cry OF hte, which
was discovered to have been occasioned BY
the French priyateer Ravanche dc Cert, John
Jacques, master, at anchor in the river, be-

considerable quantity OF powder oil board,
prevented any exertons being made 10 save
aer and she burnt TO the waters edge, hay-
ing been towed eli to prevent her from doing
damage 10 the other shipping, which lay very
near her.
II WAS suspected that she had been set on

with about hteen armed persons, who took

derable length Of time after Cadore's letter Of
August containing the arrangement they
were, In fact, continued Until all the property
that was left was thus disposed of:
What then becomes of MIR. Madison's 6 in.
distensa6te" conditions 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say that what is indispensable cannot
be dispensed with, and that if conditions are
indispensable, before an act can be done, the
act, if done without obtaining those conditions
is a void act. Here we think it not amiss to
say, that we shall take Mr.. Madison's editor
on his own ground, and admit, that as to the
proclamation he was mere ministerial agent
OF congress, and had no discretion of his own,
he had no discretion vested in him to swerve
from the line OF conduct marked out for him
BY congress. He had nothing to do but to take
the act as his guide; he had merely to UNDER
stand it, and follow the line of duty it pre-
scrlbed. What, then, let me ask again and
for the last time, mas he done He has taken
the act tor his guide he has understood it !;
has told US, in no ambiguous terms, how he
understood it; and he has proceeded openly
and directly in the very teeth of it. Without
obtaining single requisite from France he
has granted her all she asket!!. With subser-
viency too base, and too mean to bear express
sion, he has become the blind vassal, the dos
picable too. of one belligerent, and in humble
obedience to her demands, the enemy OF the
other. And here is our Governor Tomkins,
and his toad-eatcrs, who tell us, that whoever
suspects Madison of being partial to France,
and whoever omits to give him and his admit
nistration all his confidence, is traitor to his

found,
Yet I've ventura the sense, in few words, to
expound.
The black brothers twain, that have raise
such pother
Though fashioned by man, without father or
mother,
Are pair of Black Balls, which all printers
must use,
To retail truth and scandal, false reports and
abuse.
Of wood, skins and wool, they're constructed
no doubt
And like big.belied bottles they will caper
about.
Men dance on their feet; the. reverse here the
case is,
For thew dsbble in ink, and they dance on their
faces.
But should they by slovenly w.orkmen be led,
Der impressions both fiiarS' f monks would

To dccypher the meaning we should oft make

And learning be banish'd from this happy land.

We are not inscnsible that the enmi-

does not justify injustice from France.

COMMERCE WITH FRANCE.

We have received several files Of French
newspapers, and have read letters down
to the 10th March from Bordeaux. The
papers exhibit, in the ordinary shipping
news, the daily entrance and the daily de-
pariure OF Amer lean vessels; and the adj
vertisements of vessels for freight, and pas.
sengers for the United States.
Yet in the letters we find informatiou OF
such restrictions on commerce, both on en- 8.
trance and exit, as forms in itself an ap.
parent contradiction of the prima facie e.
evidence of the newspapers.
Some letters, however, which we have
seen, attribute the course pursued by the
French government to tie want of conf
deDce in the stability and good faith of the
American government.
How far the French government are au.
thorized by the actual course of our public
measures, to enter ain such doubts, the
public is as we'll able to determine as we
are. The following are extracts of letters
