Ballze by gun-boats, and the schooner Caroline
from whence he proceeded against Barrstara. He
has been completely successful in breaking up the,
nest of pirates at that place, and has taken nine
vessels some specie and quantity OF dry goods
The principal. Latte escaped but the second in

prisoners taken is not known, nor are an Of the

correspondence, which is in the hands Of governor
Claiborne, no doubt has been communicated to

From German paper extract is made this
day highly deserving Of grave consideration. From
Paris, from Germany, from every quar,er, with
regret, we find it confcn-i, that not and rest
less desire ofwar IS impatently expressed by the
military faction France. if faction that car be cal
led which eomprehends nearly half the nation, and
almost all the active men of influence in all the
ranks of society. We have endeavoared to refuse
credit to these accounts of the state of the public
spirit in France, but with reluctance we are forced
TO confess they come in such various ways BY chan
uels indIsputably authentic, that it would be
misleading the public to deny or even to doubt them.
If the French government, which certainly is most
sincerely pacific, gives apparently some encourage
ment to this disposition, we are persu ded it does
me ely to amuse 1t, to divert it from mischief,
that in time il may itself out aud die away,
other objects of civil nature, suited to state of
peace, grow up to engage the gene raj attention
Hence the large military establish ments kept up
by Austria, and by England, as well as BY France,
where they are necessary to preserve hope and
good humor. Hence the Increasing English army
in the Netherlands, iheloss of which the French
regret most severely and the recovery of which is
SO important to England, the separation of these
countries from France being OF the oldest, most
wise, and legitimate objects OF British policy.
