On Thursday last, for the first time, the u
locks. which have been lately put up In this
CITY, for connecting the Basin of James River,
with the tide water, were filled with water,
and large scow was passed IN and down.
'Che ascent was accomplished In from As to
so rninutes-the descent in As, accompanied
by the discharge of cannon. The boat is one
which has been built by Mr.. Cooley, the SUI
perintendant, and is capacious enough to hold
near 500 bbls. of -four. It's probably In such
large boats as these that the produce Will be
taken down from the Basin through the locks
to Rockets landing, where tine shipping lays :
The spectacle was Witnessed by the Direct
ors of the James River Company, and con-
siderable body of citizens We understand,
that the locks have been rendered by the SUI
perintendant to the company. Time, We ima-
CINE must test their execution.

Letters from Estremadura state, that Mar
mont's army was a prey to disease, and that
IN. division which lately occupied Truxillo,
lost Sc men a day. In Ciudad Rodrigo, pro
visions were very scarce, owing to the activity
with which the celebrated Partizan D. Julian
sanchez is continually beating the environs
Of the town and cutting off every communica-
ton and supply,
We have dismal accounts ofthe state Of the
nubiic health in Carthagena, where the reap
pearance of an epidemic disease has rendered
j. necessary to take the precautions usual
such cases. Many of the inhabitants have left the
town for the country, experience having prov
ed, upon former occasions, the utility OF such
a removal.

From the Conneciicut Courant.

ryho are the Tories 2--In England,
Tory, in old time, Was cant term to DEMO
inmate those who held that the king beng Gods
vice-regent upon earth, was not 10 Oe rcsistoa
In any case whatsoever.
Prior TO the declaration of independence,
the American colonies were part OF the
British empire, lust as Canada is now. In
those times the British government was our
government, to all intents and purposes.
When the revolution was coming on, there
were great maay men who were called to-
ries, and for this reason; they maintained the
old exploded doctrine OF passive obeilence.
They said the people ought to submit quietly
to the measures OF government, however
wrong and oppressive its measures might be !;
and that resistance would De damna0ie sln
Thus they unidentified themselves wlth those
who had been called tories, IN England, In
the reign of james II, and III the times oil his
successors, William and Anne.
At the present time, by a sort OF leSerde-
main or black art, the original meaning OF
the word tory, and that meaning too which 1t
had retained all along for more than whole
century, is entirely changed and the term IS
made TO bear Specification directly opposite
to its former one.
The men who arc now called tories are
those who hold IL To be both the iight ana the
duty Of citizens of a free co:nmenwealth to
watch the administration, to discuss It's mea-
sures with freedom, to use al! constitutional
means to change it, if itpersiss IN q pernclsus
system ofpolicy a2Sssssis%y; III the iast-re-
sort. to resist j. In ira no other possible
way of saving ~ G2SSy from absolute ru-
g; T., SboS en- in our country who
are now called tories, embrace and avow the
very same political sentiments which the
WHO'S in EneIaid did, and which the Aaier-
lean wings embraced and avowed at the tune
of orr revolution. On the other hand, their
opponents, who with equal cunning and knave-
~. have endeayored to Tx upon them THIS
opprobrious name, are themselves, III Poii.a-
cal conduct, the very same as the Li'SiiSH "
American tories of old. Were those hostlie
to free and manly discussion OF the measures
OF government? SO are these. LA 'hose
preach up passive unrcpming submission TO
civil rulers, let taeir measures be never SO
wronp. or never so.perniclous to the puoiic
interest? SO do these. Did those brand
with the oc:ous names of schismatic- and re-
bels. ali who presume to c2ll III question any
Of the measures of government SO 90
these.
The truth Is, they are like as peas OF the
same pod. The tories of the reign OF the
.4meri,aa James are the genuine spawn oil
the tories of toe reign of the ERslish James
Ifthere be any difference at all between them
It is this: the latter had not like the former,
the raeanness to palm their own proper name
upon their political opponents
