For the ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.

I'm .faszver to the Enigma, Of the I'd mstanf
WHEN Nature smiles, how gays the scene
The lovely nymph trips DER the green,
And harmless lambkins play;
How different far when winter reigns
See snow o'erspread the fertile plains,
And clouds obscure the day.
So circling time does swiftly trace:
The great profundity of space,
And scenes unknown explain.
Yet nothing now beneath the skies,
Our poets say can ever rise,
But must recur again.
No wonder then Columbia's fair
Should, with one voice, for &. declare,
And give to him that prize.
For them New CuRRIcLEs G.. finds
TO raise aloft their active minds
And crafty their eyes.
ANXIOUS.

French privatcer schooner OF IA guns and IS

c.rricd last night in the Vile stroom, by a par

had the extreme Joy of seeing the schooner
beating cat ofthe cnemy's har6or, through the
very intricate navigation of the passage, with
the British colors flying over the French. l

very strong tide, and found the enemy fully

vitation to self prescription, and this under the
influence of man who had recently failed by
concealed artifce in the case of the account
OF Degen and Purviance, to make congress an
instrument not only of political prescription
but prost ration of moral character and public
probity.
Sits dueto Mr.. Smith and his friends, and to
the great and respectable party to which he
belongs, that he should do no act which will
conpromit his own personal and political
importance %
1.-THE acceptance on the mission to Russia
might be considered an acquiescence in the
arrangements at Washington, which he should
mot indulge the president to believe, and
which every motive Of duty should lead him
to resist.
"The people of the U. States, whether
correctly or the reverse, will attribute the
change in the administration to the influence
of Mr.. Gallatin, ndthey have unoquivocally
expressed their want of confidence in that
gentleman.
The arrangements now made, appears to
have been known alone to the federalists,' and
the conclusion is irresistible, that it is to
please them, that man in whom the republi-
cans have the highest confidence, is to be re-
moved to CRAFTY his political opponents, or to
serve some secret, clandestine negotiation,
still more base and detestable.''
The respectable writer is mistaken we
could name three members of Congress, par
ticularly intirnates of Mr.. Gallatin, who knequ
all about ii, long before the session of congress
closed. We could now name the secretary
at war, that is to be, that is if the pistol does
not miss fire, and the ambassador IN hetto, fail
to assail the integrity of a man. In short no
man can remain in the administration, who
will not bend to Mr.. Galiatin---and in truth, the
question will soon be as it was heretofore with
Alexander Hamilton and Timothy Pickering
either the president must abandon this intrigu-
err, or the people will abandon the president;
and the sufferance of Timothy Pick," ing, so
long as Mr.. Adams did ought to be u warn
Jug, for it is in vain to expect that Mr.. Madi-
sons personal virtues can sustain him and the
political vices of MIR. Gallatin too.---Our rea-
ters will excuse US for few days Mr.. Gal
latin seven years ago, told the editor OF this
parer, that the editor must be ruined, it lie did
not consent to prescribe an unimpeachable
republican an attempt has been made to &C
complish the menace, which though it can
neither ruin nor deter him from exposing VIII
lainny, has embarrassed him SO much as to in
duce him to endeavour to make a sacrifice OF
property to the amount OF TEN THOU
SAND DOLLARS, in order to place himself
beyond the peridious malice OF the friends of
Mr.. Gallatin and MIR. Randolph--these affairs
will be settled in day or two, and we shall
then, as in l799---sheak TO the notion.
