The follc~ing comment ON tho above un-

: We would ask those originals in political
literature, where and when was the flag OF
this Queen of the Waters unhirled for tho
pure purpose of delivering the opp ressed
Was It at Lexington, or at Boston, w hen its
inhabitants whore butchcrcd in the streets,
and subsequently, when bill was brought in
to Parliament, the preamble of which stated,
that the unofiending town should be knocked
down about the ears Of its citizens Was it
ct Bunker's hill il wns unfurlcd Was It on
the burning ruins Of Norfolk in Virginia it
was unfurled, for the gracious purpose Of de-
livery { Or OH the more recent ittack on the
Chesapeake and the murder Of Pcarcc ?----
With all these facts OF oppression and cruel
~ before their eyes,. will the express makers
presume to insist that what they have said of
(" the Queen Of the Waters" is true Can
the British flag which was unfurlcd over TN
offending Copenhagen, be said to be calling
an oppressed people to protection Copen-
hagen was ascending in smoke its colleges,
Its hospitals, and palaces, wcrc burning un-

Stare. No doubt every tory frinter syiH

The following extraordinary publication
from the Secretary Of State has appeared In
the form Of pamphlet, as well as in most OF
the newspapers in opposition to the govern
ment, and perhaps in some of a different cha
racter. 1t is now some weeks since il was
exultingly announced by federal prints that
Mr.. Robert Smith was about To publish an
attack on Mr.. Madison" We had fattered
ourselves that the conductors OF these jour
aals had suffered their hopes OF discord TO de-
ceiye them, and that regard tor his own rep
utation and feelings, if not for the publick
good, would have withheld the threatened
publication OF Mr.. Smith. But the appear
ance Of his address has dissiTated hopes so
nationally entertained, and given birth TO feel
ings painful in proportion to the regret we
feel at being irressubly impelicd, by every
consideration of principle, 10 express scnti-
ments in relation to its author, very different
The publication in question is highly repre-
hcnslble IN a variety of respects, as shame
ful breach OF official and personal confidence
as an undcrhand insldious recurrence 10 CIR

To pull down the government and constitution
which be was bound by every tie OF honour

our readers the pamphlet complete, and in
our next number We shall follow it with some
structures. In this task we shall however
coniine ourselves to single review OF the
document itself. We shall pry into no Office
secrets TO test me truth or detect the talsity
OF any OF its statements we Shall not ask
from the President any facts within his
knowledge !; since he certainly would not
stoop TO impart them for the sake OK repelling
pitiiul assault on hrs personal character.
No, we will not even strip the recreant pre-
duction OF this cloak, too scant indeed to hide
its deiormity. We take the publication into
our closet and dwell only on its inherent char
acter, expose its nefarious principle, and no.
tice lis glaring absurdi,ies.

REVIEW
OF ROBERT SMITHS ADDRESS


An opinion had long prevailed with many
persons both in and out of Congress that Mr..
Secretary Smith, from want OF capacity, and
want OF integrity, was quite unfit for his place.
And towards the close Of the second year of
his office, this conviction became so univcr-
sal rs not t. leave the exception probably OF
Mr. Smith himself. We had all been aston
ished at his appointment we all learned the
history of that MISERABLE intrigue hv which
it Was effected ; we regretted the necessity
the President was under OF Casting him Oft,
and thereby offending the few friends of the
family, whom he had lately gratiEcd at so
dear rate and we consequently looked iol-
ward with considerable anxiety TO the time
when the government should relieve itself
from So inconvenicnt a burthen.
This was done in March last /; and not
withstanding the clamours of two newspa-
pers that have since been placing him daily
before our eyes, We We're forgetting Mr..
Smith as fast as possible. He might have
past off in silence, and even have mistaken
oblivion for pardon, il he had been endowed
with moderate share of prudence. But he
threatened us with pamphlet, and he has
now committed the farther folly OF executing
the unlucky threat. HIS pamphlet Is before
the publick IL must from the nature OF the
subject excite Considerable attention and
though its first characteristick is weakness,
yet its wickedness 5 of too dangerous a ten
dcncy TO be passed over without comment.
We will begin with notice of its PRINCIPLE
the gross immortality of coming before the
world with such publication. 1t is not pos
sible that Robert Smith, or any other man,
however course and clumsy the texture OF
his mind may be, should not perceive the
shock that must be given to pu6lick morals,
the stab into the vitals of executive govern
ment, the violation of one of the essential
provisions OF the federal constitution, .neccs-
sarily involved in the principle of publishing
the secrets of the cabinet. The question
here is not whether his statements are true
or false, nor do we enquire wnether they are
important or unimror,ant but can such
statements be made without crime Should
they be made by clcrA in the same office
of state, 1t would be perjury such clerks
being under an oath of secrecy. But the head
of the department, the Secretary, whose We
ry title signifies depositary Of secrets, is sup
posed TO be bound in honour. And civilized
society went on from its commence to
the DAYS of Robert Smith, before that tie, IN
SO exalted a station, was found TO be insui-
hcient.
How pre- ecious is the advantage of Tree
press, how august the tribunal of publick o.
pinion Here is a crime that fines and halters
will not reach not because 1T is too small,
but because it is too great; it is like parri-
eide escaping the code ct Scion the law has
not provided for il. Whu then, Mir. Smith,

FULSOME .fDUL.fTYON. 4

The French papers which have lately
reached this country arc replete with such
faisomc details of adulation TO regal power
and splcndour, as arc enough to sickcn the
hearts of Republicans. 1t would almost seem
us if the Parisians had travelled back to the
most degraded age of the Roman cmperours,
and rackcd their ingenuity to discover means
OF conveying greater adulation, and exhibit
ing more servility, than was practiced in those
days. Not day arrives but produces at the
Theatres some new play in honour of the
young king OF Rome not a gazette appears,
but its columns are disteudea to their utmost
limit with addresses and congratulations no,
a breeze but watts upon the car some new
songs of JOY and triumph. To CRAFTY the
curiosity of our readers as TO these eneomias-
tick verses, VIC have inserted below li,erai
translations of three or four coupets, culled
inditlcren,ly from the number which we find
IN the late French papers.

An unhappy affair took place in this town
on Friday last 1t seems, agreeably 10 The
reports in circulation, that a mob, composed
principally Of sailors, had several times COL
lected before the house of capt. TrJefhen,
and insulted him by throwing stones, sc. at
MS windows, fo', as they say, abusing his
wiie-one report goes farther and says, they
once mounted him on rail. Be that rs it
may on Friday night last, alter submitting to
the abuse for considerable length OF time,
he fired gun from his window and killed
one man on the spot the mob, Ignorant OF
the fact, continued their depredations. He

The name Of tho man killed was MLane.
Our informant does not give the name of the
man wounded, but observes, that he belong

instantly poured down the throat.-The

e" SPECIAL REPORT"

On the 1st of November last Ot we re-
collect right the French emperor, by his
minister of foreign relations, declared that
a special report would be made on the "a
of February, which would shew in what
manner his imperial and royal majesty
would favor American commerce. NO
such report has yet appeared, tho more
than five months have elapsed since it
was due by imperial promise. But num-
Der OF American vessels have been per-
mitted to dispose of their merchandise,
take return cargoes and leave the psrts
of France without molestatiOn-aad there
is special report that this favor to Anne
rican commerce is the fruit Ola degrading
traffic in imperial licences. The French
consups advertisement in the Baltimore
papers, informing our citizens that nc
has opened his shop for the. sale OF such
licences, gives authority to this report
There is an essential difference between
a severeign's giving special licences TO In
dividual foreigners to trade in his own
ports, and his prohibiting their commerce
with another nation, without such IL
eence. This difference now characterlses
England and France in their commercial
restrictions. A man has no right, unaer
any pretence whatever, to prohibit my IN
tercourse with his neighbor, though he
has a right to exclude me from his own
house-if he admit me within his doors,
and suffer me to depart, only on condition
of receiving a doceur, he may be rob,
Der, but cannot be a good neighbor ; and
has no title to my friendship or confidence.
1t is matter of serious consideration
for our government to determine, whether
traffic like that of the French consals s.
calculated in its nature to excite Jealousy,
and discord among our own citizens; ana
what is worse to extend foreign intiu-
encc among us, predieated on partially
and corruption--ousht not to be prohibit
ed by a permanent law with adequate Pc
nalties to prevent an evil of such porten-
tious sspect,-Bosto" Patriot.

zone good quality, and only one, can we
attach TO the federalists-they unanimously
.dbere together, and support each other
Were this more the case among our own
nar,y. federal hopes and expectations would
not be so sanguine. Disunion is death to the
democratic party.
The Wing is correct in saying that the
Federalists always adhere together; and what
is the cause of their unanimity ? 1t Is owing
to their uniformly supporting TRUTH and
that ouly. On the other hand, the sole ann
of the democratic leaders is to obtain ofhces'
regardless of the means employed tor the
purpose and as they cannot aH be grained
thew 90 to losgerheads when disappointed
We should be much pleased if it were true
that " diSunion is dtah to the democratic
party," as the Wing asserts but experience
affords us slender grounds OF hope from that
source for Notwithstanding the disgracetul
manner in which they ha,e frequently expos
ed each other, they have hitherto contrlvcd to
keen the ascendancv. We trust, however,
the people Will not NC ltiPoSSu - PoiA W. wa !,
that they will turn from office hunters and
pretended patriots with disdain, and select
men who eau devote their attention more to
the public welfare than to filling their own
pockets. When the people shall do this, and
not before, they may expect to see the csun-
try again in prosperous situation.
Bonaparte will certainly be delighted when
he hears of the coronation of the King OF
Hayti: every thing was done in stilc, la
mode de Paris And the emperor's satlsiac-
ton will be greatly increased, should he hap
pen to see the friendly toast given by his sa-
bic majesty:
"The King, rising from his seat, gave the
health of the King of Great Britain, which
was drank with three times three, to which
be added "May he prosper and be success
