MISCELLANY.
FEDERAL POLICY.

The following paragraph is from the Baltimore
Federal Republican, and exhibits, at one view
the relative merits the two great political par
ties. The facts which the writer has here brief
ly stated, ought never to be forgotten. The time
may come when the early supporters Of federal
measures viii be rewarded for their services, in
the general appreciation Of people at present
misguided.
The present political tranquility every where
manifest is an honourable testimony of the excel
lence of federal policy--it is evidence not to be
resisted, an authority from whence there is no ap-
peal-iti is a confession extorted from the mouths
of our political enemies themselves it is not in
the power Of man to pay higher compliment

FROM EUROPE.

T The political affairs Of none Of The
nations Of Europe, France excepted, pres
ent any interesting aspects.
u The finances of France are repre-
sented by the Minister of Finance 10 be in a
very embarrassed state. With an unusual
freedom, he announces, that the expendi-
ture of the current year, after all the saw
iDgs which can be made, will exceed the
contemplated revenue, upwards of TWO Hun
drcd and Twenty Millions of francs, (more
than Forty-four Million Of dollars) THAT
the supply OF this large sum, had been OBJ
tanned by loans bu, in those had OF Messrs.
Earrings and Topes, (foreigners) there was
loss on the stock Of more than Is per
cent.while there was yet still larger loss on
the sum borrowed of the French House of
LATTE The Minister boldly announces,
that the most oppressive of the French
burthens is the cautionary army. He ex-
presses the hope, that it will be Withdrawn
the ensuing November : and pronounces,
very enpha,ically that France is exhausted /;
and tina, her sacrifices must cease, for the
termination Of her means had arrived.

Trial for Robberg.

J2Sefh Jackman, who was tried last fall
in this town, on an Indictment for the rob
berry Of Maj. Goodridge, when the Jury
could not agree,was again tried on the sans
indictment, las, week, at Ipswich.
The Trial commenced on Thursday
morning, and the cause was committed to
the jury on Friday evening the jury were
together all night, and at the opening Of
the Court Sa lurday morning came in and
declared they had not agreed they again
retired and in about half an hour returned
with verdict of aeqmttal. The prisoner
was then discharged.
From the writings ofthe late w. Paley, D. .
Hge-the true nay Of making ID comfortable.
That is, by making it the means of reli-
glous improvement. Let man be beset
by ever 50 many bodily complaints, bowed
down BY ever SO many in6rmities I; if he
ind his soul grown,end growing better /; his
seriousness increased bis obedience more
regular and more exact his inward princi-
pies and dispositions improved from whss
they were formerly, and continuing TO i'm
prove that man hath fountain os comfort
and consolation springing up within him.
Infrmities which have this effect, are in.
fnitely better than strength and health
themselves though these, considered In
dependently of their consequences, be just
ly esteemed the greatest of all blessings
and OF all gifts. The old age of a virtuous
man admits ola differrat and of most con-
selling description.
" 10 the intelligent and yirtuous old age
presents scene of tranquil enioyments
Of obedient appstites of well-regulated az.
fsctions; of maturity in knowledge: and
OF calm preparation for Immortality. In
this serene and digni6ed state, placed, as ii
were on the confines of two worlds, the mind
of good man reviews what is past with
the complacency ofa approving conscience
and looks forward with humble confidence
in the mercy of God, and with deyou, aspi-
rasions towards hisessrnal and ever incress,

TO TINE.
CAPRIcIous friend 30 human joy, n
still varying with the ieeting day;
With thee the purest raptures cloy,
The fairest prospects fade away.
Nor worth, nor power, thy wings can bind I;
All earthly pleasures fly with THEE,
Inconstant as the wav'ring mind,
That plays upon the summers sea.
I court thee not, ungentle guest
For have e'er been doom'd to find
Life's gayest hours bat idly drest
With sweets that pail the sick ming mind
When sailing hope with placid mien
Around my couch did fondiy play;
Too oft the aery form I've seen
On downy pinions glide away.
But when perplex'd with pain or care,
My couch with thorns was seatterd round,
When the pale priestess Of DESPAIR
My mind in fatal spells haG bound;
When the dull hours no joy could bring;
No bliss my weary fancy prove;
mark'd thy lead in pond'rous wing
With tardy pace unkindIy move.
Is SUCH THY GIFTS, on TIME, for thee
My faded heart shall De'er repine,
VOW content TO FATE decree,
And with thy thorn thy roses Irvine;
Yet e'er thy tickle reign shall end
The balmy sweets of ERrENDsHIP's hour
I'll with my cup of sorrow blend,
And smile, regardless OF thy pow'r.

than this. Let il only be remembered that the
great measures of policy now pursued by our ad-
are all federal measures-that the
army, the navy, and the bank, were originally
federal measures that the present party came
into power by an opposition to all such policy !:
tn at the cry Of the democrats then was that the
bank would render US sabservient to English in
fluence, that the army would put our liberties IN
and that the navy was only branch
of royal policy, and would eventually reduce the
nation to a state of bankruptcy. 1t was in vain
that the federal party attempted to combat with
sin was rung, and the men who projected these
measure, were dismissed from our public coun-
ellis. When the democrats had gained the as
cendancy, they practised on the principles which
they protested while out Of power-the navy was
abandonded, the bank was sacrificed, and philo-
sophical expe dents for defence adopted-an en-
barge was laid, and it became criminal almost
to look at the salt water-our frigates were sup
planted by those sea-monsters called gun-boats
In short, after the democrats had put all their
projects to the proof they at last discarded them
with contempt-the gun-boats were sold at pub
lie auction navy was again rebpilt-an army
was kept up, and national bank, with larger
capital than the federal party ever dreamed OF
was establshed.-Ihis, we repeat, is compli-
ment to the federal party paid by their enemies,
and the strongest possible evidence of the excel
4ence Of the federal policy.

From L'ABEILLE AmERlcAINE.-An instance
Of their disposition the Mexicausl for indepen-
dence has been exhibited in their feeble attempts
at revolution on the 18th January, 1924, under
the viceroyalty ofDon Diego Canello de Galyez.
The insurrection on tn e8th June, 1922 and more
recently in 1887, under the Count de Galvez,
when they proclaimed him King of Mexico in the
streets OF the capital and $4,000 souls were
heard proclaiming, Long live Galvez, King OF
Mexico 1t was then only for him to have will
ed it, and the Kingdom of Mexico was lost to
Charles Nv. forever, But prefering his loyalty to
his ambition, he rode out, attended by his guards
to the mob, with sword in hand, crying out,
: Long live his Catholic Majesty Charles the
WITH" and Threatening to put to instant death
with his own hand, any person who refused i'm
mediately to retire to their homes. This disper-
sed the people. In another quarter of the king
dom, an immense number had also collected and
proclaimed him king.-He sent 10000 men a.
gainst them, dispersed them, and had four be-
headed. These firm measures saved the coun-
try at that period, and for which he received the
greatest honor from the court Spain but was
poisoned short time after-fulflling the maxim.
8 that it is dangerous to serve jealous tyrant,
for they always conceive that the same power
who stilled the oceans rage can by his will raise
the storm into all the majesty of overwhelming
fury. Thus by taking his life, it relieved them
from the dread of his influence with the Mexi-
cans.

Whether this statement be true, or wheth-

pitiate or alarm the Congress of Allied

exaggeration. But adds, that the penden-
cy of those claims arres, the rising wing
