NOTICE TO MARINERS.

A light house having lately been erected at
Scituate, 4 leagues S. E. l-2 E. from Boston
light house, and as this light may be taken for
Boston, a few observations may not be unn-
teresting. 1t frequently happens in thick and
foggy weather, that you will make light only
long enough to take the bearings of it, and
although Scituate light isa fixed one, and
Boston revolving, yet you may not have time
to determine which it is. 1t would therefore
be advisable with the wind at the n. N e to
steer such course as to keep it bearing w.
instead of running to bring it to bear w. N.
w. on an uncertainty. By keeping it to bear
w. it will give you some miles to windpard,
and give an opportunity to weather Cbha,set
rocks, which are very DANCE Gus if i, should
be Scituate; but should it prove to BE- Boston,
YOU may continue your course until you get
within one mile of it, thcn keep IF and bring
it to bear w. by n. or w N w you may
run so nigh as to hail or steer up channel by
the former directions. Should you fall near
to SCituate light in thick weather, stear n. n.
w. or N by w. until you get IS la,homs
water, then steer W. n. w. for Boston light

We would thank any Of our War-hawks to in

the governments, under John Adams's admi-
nistration, on the commencement of hostilities
with France and also how many have been
lately presented to government, now that we
are on the eve of war with England A

their lives and fortunes, in support of the go
vernment. Eitherthe Democratic party must
be extremely INDECENT, or else, as John Hen

One Of these conclusions is irresistible. Can
it be possible that the major part of the Anne

THE BRfITSH PLOT

IN The american union there was a man.
VINO, from his intelligence, genius, active en-
tefprlsing disposition, and his intimacy with
iederaiists, was able to render services in the
quaity OF agent to a foreign government, that
man was Captain John Henry, a native of
ireland, but once an esteemed and accom-
phshed officer in the u. States service. Ii
appears by the documents exhibited to Con-
gress, that for three years, and during the
severe and trying times of the EMBARGO. Mr..
Henry engaged to use his influence and abili-
ties to negotiate an arrangement with such of
The federal party as might be disposed to dis
III the8union, and form a separate go-
vernment under the protection and with tie
ala OF the British government. According to
hs own statement, Mr.. Henry undertook the
service without reference to remuneration
but relying upon his own resources to meet
the expenditures incident to it. He afterwards
sought compensation from his employer. The
governor general of Canada. U;sapnointed
IN that quarter, he preferred two memorials
to the minister Lord Liverpool, from whom
no satisfaction could be obtained. save q com
ptlmentary notice of the ability with which
tne agent made his political details. Money
however, Mr.. Henry was determined to have.
and failing in his application for reward to the
BRUSH cabinet, he resolved to be reyenced.
and accordingly left England. and in a few
weeks after his arrival in this country. bar
gained with government, and made a full dis
closure of his mission. In all that he has
communicated at Washington, not a federal.
lst has been, nor we believe can be impliea-
TED. On the contrary, the spy employed to
seduce and corrupt them, is forced to confess
their integrity and ~incorruptibility, and the
utter futilIty OF any attempt to ALLEVIATE the
affections of federalists from their country
though ruled by corrupt and profigate politi,
clans, who were grinding them to poverty by
illegal and tyrannical acts. Indeed, the whole
transaction, whether Dir. Henry be in the
employment of the opposition party in Eng
land, or was originally like Mehee de La
1onche, engaged by administration to en-
snare and destroy the federal party--by what
ever motives actuated, or by whomsoeyer set
on, to inJure and subject to odious suspicion
the party destined to save this nation. the
whole transaction is honorable to federalists,
and exhibits a contrast to the democratic trea-
cherry and corruption of 1894, which ought to
close in eternal silence the lips ofthe satellites
OF Jefferson, Gallatin, Madison, A. Genet,
Adet, Edmund Randolph, &c. Sc. &c. who
may now cast out villainous insinuations a.
gainst their adyersaries.
