commander Of this army ; and in his
letter to preGdent Adams by which he
figni6ed his acceptance of the COM
mand, he fays no perfon can more
cordially approve of the wife, and
prudent meafures of your adminiltra-
ton they ought to infpire universal
confidence"
Although the officers of govern
ment were filled by men of tried in
tegrity, who had labored with unaba.
ting zeal, both in the national coun-
ellis, and in the field of battle. and
had RATED our nation from fate of
embarraffment, and confuGon, to a
fate OF honor, and PROPERTY yet
the daily repetition of thefe falfe &C.
culations began to operate in the
minds Of many. The better to glofs
over their intrigue they afTumed the
name of Republicans, and ftyled
themielves the " excluGve friends of
the people," while they infamouly
branded the administration, and thofe
who adhered to it, with the name of
"tories, and monarchilts.
The embarralmcnts, under which
our commerce had labored, previous
to the arrangement with France,
had 70 diminiihcd our revenue, ari-
fling from that fource, that it was
thought neccf1ary to make an addi-
ton to it by fome other means, in or.
der to prevent the augmentation of
the national debt. Accordingly a
direct tax of a fmall amount was laid,
which according to the receipts into
the United States treafury, produ-
ced only the fmalI fun Of ,786 200
dollars, and 2S cents-yet this meat
ure was alto declared to be an act of
cppreilon, tending rapidly towards a
monarchy.
The horrid image of defpotifm,
till remaining frefh in the minds of
the American people, who had 70 re-
Gently elcaPed from the fangs of
Britifh tyranny and opprefion, was
now drawn anew in the mott glaring
colours by the +" executive friends of
the people" and became the conitant
theme of thefe felffyled Republicans.
Thus the public mind was wrought
to fuch phrenzy, by the continual
outcry againlt the administration, and
the fair promi(es Of thefe executive
friends of the people" that it might
with proPrlety be faid, that political
fever ragged thro' our nation.
In the height of this political intox-
ication, Thomas Jefferfon was raifed
to tbs proficiency by the intrigue OF
the clamorous {" friends of the peo-
ple," and came into office March 3D.

Captain Frazer, late Of the United
States Revenue Cutter, having been
informed that a French Frivateer or
pirate was near Barataria, snug
ling goods into tAis city, raised
party, and accompanied by Captain
Holden, on Saturday last went in
small! boat down the Bayou towards
the lake. On their way they met a
large pirosue with quantity Of
goods and er seven men, who, on
discovering captain Frazer's boat,
made their escape from the pirOgue.
and Capt. #. took possession Of her.
and on Sunday afternoon brought
her to the head Of the Bayou within
haifa mile Of the river. He applied
to the oWHcr or oyerseer at a farm
for cart and oxen to transport the
goods to tho river; this was pro-
aaised, bnt rot fulfilled. Anxious to
have the goods carried across the
portage before night, he sent bis 40
gro hoy to hurry Or the cart. A
baRdii met the boy, tied and detain-
ed him until it was dusk, then they
marched down with arms to the boat,
took capt. Frazer & his party prison
ers. and threatenedto take their lives
ifthey made the least resistance. and
Immediately embarked on board the
pirogus and boat, with the prisoners
and goods. and descended the Bayou.
The prisoner were not t;ed-and a
bout 10 o'clock, two or three leagues
down the Bayou. they made their
escape, and with difficulty late in the
night reached the river.
This is perhaps the NEST imDudent
daring act Of smuggling. ever at
