The Editor Of the Baltimore Wing seems
determined to gall the President in every pos.
sible way. His favorite method is the Socra-
tic rule ofasking questions. The following
queries are extracted from the Wing Of Sa-
turday:
eff Mr. Madison was really DESTROYS of ex-
pediting the preparation of an adequate mill
tary force; why did he keep the continued
evidence of Engand's hostile policy" lock-
ed up in his bureau for a whole month, --dur-
ing which time his most intimate friends in
congress declared that the president did not
wish a greater number OF regulars than
10000!
"If Fosters letter was capable of produc-
ing any effect on congressional measures
why was it withheld from congress for about
month 7"
Ave, there'sthe rub whole month writing
an answer to "hostile" letter! Why, Mr.
Secretary Smith would have done it, or at
least would have had it done, in day or two.
And it is on account of this delay, we see, that
the Wing doubts Mr.. Madison's sincerity in
recommending warlike preparations; because
if he had communicated Mr. Fosters expla-
natory letter as soon as he received it, toge-
Their with his own explanatory message, Con-
gress would have passed the regular and vo-
lunteer army bills Immediately. So that &C
cording to the Wing, the president is to
blame for the consequent loss of time, loss Of
money, loss of breath, and many other losses
too tedious to mention

We lesrn from most respe etable authority, thar
the ship Congress, az this port recently captured *
sent into France was chiefly laden with naval stores
and contrsband articles. The remarks which wo
yesterday made, so far they related to this part-
cuiar capture, grew out e idea that il took place
under the Berlin ediet. We eheerfully correct ths
mistake and we hope that all of the Federal Edi-
tors, who may have copied article in relation to
the Congress, either for honest or for party pur-
poses, will publish the true of the capture Of
that vessel. Our scnsibilities are easily excited
by the expressions Of one foreign power, by those
of another, and therefore it that promptly
undertook to reprObate, ever shall reprobate,
those captures which wear on their face the APP
pearance of Illegal and hostile belligerent acts.
