MR.. SMITHS PAMPHLET.

We this day present to our readers the
Address of Robert Smith, Esq. late secre.
taty of state-Its importance has induced
us to devote an extra paper to its publica.
ton. Let no one be deferred from reading
it on account of its length. Ifit does not
awaken the public alarm at the profigacy,
corruption and the total disregard of con.
stitutional restraints by our president-if
its perusal does not FIJI every bosom with
indignation at the conduct Of our chief ma
sistrate, it is because we are prepared to
be slaves of France-our attachment to
constitutional privileges is subdued and all
is lost.
1t is time the public attention was awak.
ened to a true sense of the danger We are
in from our rulers-We are not to be SUBJ
dued by force; but we may be BY stratagem
and treason.
In this address the public may discover
the true character of those who are chosen
TO guard our rights-They may behold the
chief magistrate, through the corrupt iu-
strument of his power, proposing measures
which he dare not openly avow. Here we
behold him withholding from congress in
formation which they deem important to
guide them in their deliberations. One day
svowing to the French government that it
was an indispensable condition to the en-
forcing the non,insercourse with England,
that the property cou6scated by France
should be given up--the next step taken is
to abandon that condition and yield up all
claim to our property, and prop the arbitra-
ny laws destructive of all our commercial
rosperisy.--Con. Cur.

ALEXANDRIA, July II.

On Tuesday evening we were visited by
severe storm of Thunder and Lightning
The weather had been excessively warm
tor several days past, the mercury in the
Thermometer being frequently raised as
high as 90. The Dwelling and Bake-ho
of Mr.. John Young, Union street, were
struck by the lightning, and a young man
named Bowie, killed. MIR. Young himself
and lad his apprentice were considerably
injured, but have since recovered. A wo-
man, whose name we have not learnt was
killed at West End; we understand she has
left three children. Mr.. Dulany's stable as
Shutters Hill, near town, was struck, and
a horse killed. A negro, belonging to MIR.
Fitzhugh, was killed, and two others in
jured, at Ravensworth about 7 miles from
town. The brig Lloyd, lying at Lawrasou
and Fowle's wharf, was much shattered.
These are all the serious calami,es we have
yet heard of; but great apprehensions are
entertained that other misfortunes, took
place. We are informed that the Coachec
was upset by the wind ON the Potomac bridge,
with four passengers, who fortunately sus.
tanned no injury.

LONDON. Nav 26.

From Lord Wellington's dispatches it
appears, that if he pleased he might have
brought on more general action, and with
every fair prospect of success j. but in the
course he chose to adopt he acted with
great ability and prudence, and knowing
the object ofthe enemy to be the relief of
Almeida, he resolved not to risk that OBJ.
iect on any accountable therefore con.
tented himself with defeating their purpose
by this course of proceeding. He proba-
bly, insures the fall of that fortress, and will,
when that event takes place, find himself
in a condition to undertake holder mea-
sures with less risk.
He has on this OCCASION, as during the
whole campaign, shewn that his judgment
is equal to his zeal and courage, and by
the due combination fthese qualifications,
he has already achieved so much advantage
and glory to himself and the country.
1t is reported that Massena hazarded the
battle in consequence of positive orders
from Bonaparte himself. These orders
were reiterated by three officers sent ex-
press from Paris. One ofthem, Berthier's
Abide Camp, Baron LIE Jeune, IS said
to have been sent by Berthier to ascertain
the tue state and situation of all the corps
d'armees in Spain, and he was the bearer
of positive order to hazard an action,
confe qm conte, as the only means of re-
trieving their affairs, and as at present the
emperor could send no more reinforce
ments to the Peninsula.

Tn. Presidents proclamation, and the
,,;ust act of Congress which grew out OF 1t,
.rIne close of the late session, called the
non importation act, cannot De OF long
continuance. The farmers and planters
ubo raise wheat and cotton, and those who
d.al in Lumber and naval stores may tor
while be satisfied with the vent they hnd
for those articles IN the British markets,
but as the American merchants are forbid
den BY that law to bring back in return any
articles ofproduce or manufacture from the
British dominions,--this onesided trattc
must soon come TO an end; and our rulers
must be aware that the people, as after their
much long suffering under the embargo,
will renew their murmurs and complaints.
What scheme then can they contemplate to
I'D themselves of this embarrassment, and
At the same time to satisfy the emperor OF
France and what will completely answer
these purposes IA 10ar with Great Brt-
tan. Our loving" friend Napoleon
declared such war for US more than
three years ago; but we were not then ripe
tor it. Now it is presumed to be practical
bic. The great commercial and a5ricuitu-
raj state of New.York, aud Massachusetts
the greatest navigating state in the Union,
have their governments in the hands OF the
devoted supporters of our national admin.
istration. Now then is the time to fasten
upon our country the Napoleon Jefiersonian
system-the same which the French empe.
ror has established on the continent OF Eu.
rcpe-an entire prohibition Of intercourse,
c9mmerciaior otherwise, zoish Great Bri-
tam, and all her domlnions in the four
quarters ofthe gl0Je. A snug little war
which may exist (not be carried on) with
out taxes or revenues will perfectly accom-
plish the object. War with G. Britain at
once shuts our ports to her and hers to US.
Such war is the simplest mode magma
bic to introduce and establish the perma.
nent embargo. For the good beoble Of the
United States zoiH not be SO unreasonable as
to Complain that they are not allowed to trade
s1Hh ihefr enemies IN open zuar.
A further developement of this scheme
ard the many reflections to which it will
give rise (for it is fruitful theme) would
extend this address to too great length,
and must therefore be deferred.
