From the Fredericksburg Recorder.
THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE TAR.


There will be a clear majority Of democrats in
the Senate Of the 18th Congress- and the very unt-
sual preponderance Of some 40 or so Of the same
faith in the lower house. Yet not few of the OBJ
posite party affect to believe, and some Of our own
fraternity affect to fear, that the tariff will be suffer
ed to remain without any essential alterations. We
are compelled to doubt their sincerity. II is absurd
to expect party which has triumphed with one set
of principles, TO abandon them at the moment of vic
tory, and take up othefs-cspecialy others which
did their full share TO embarrass and depress the de-
feaed party in the most recent election It not only
breach of faith, but Of common sense, which we be-
lieve the administration is neither wicked nor fool
ish enough TO perpetrate. Mr.. Polk himself is so
strongly committed to- a.moderate tariff, that he
could not sanction any other without an utter aban-
donment of self-respect. 30 Is his cabinet, unless
Mr. BuchananS reluctant acquiescence in the tariff OF
~ be deemed an exception. The predisposition Of
the executive is backed by the remarkable unanimi-
ty of powerful and successful party. So not only
is the President pledged and instructed, but he Is
provided with ample means to execute the popula
will. The same convusion which elevated him to
power, endowed him with an efficient vitality to
prosecute and consummate the desired reform. He
is not the man to receil when his plain duty is be-
fore him, under any circumstances. Is il probable
he will do 30 now, when faith and honor lie before
him, and treachery and disgrace behindi
We regard i as morally certain, that many radi-
cal changes will be made only in the Details but
sane man come to different conclusioni The tar
ifites are trihng with themselves. They are inde-
fatgable in their efforts to delude their own follow
ers, They tell the recipient Of special fayor-"go
on, enlarge, expand, extend; your bounty will Be
continued, and perhaps perpciuaed- tariff will
not be touched" Now, d more prudent course,
even if was matter of doubt, would be to caution
all who stand by this Fictitious aid to stake heed,
lest they fall" We do not doubt but there are
thousands at this moment pushing the widest pos
sble schemes far ahead of their actual means, upon
the mere hope that the administration will be re-
creant to its trusts. They will be deceived; and
when "distrcss" and "ruin" come, let them ,remem-
credited the veracty Of falsehood. They will suffer-
and yet government will have done them no wrong.
1t has only equalized the privileges, of which they
now enjoy the monopoly.

On the 7th day of April, 1643, Admiral Brown en-.
tered the harbor of Montevidco, with five of his
squadron and took possession of Rat island, (Which
at that time was in defcnceless condition,) and
seized quantity of gunpowder he found deposited
in the powder magazine, and sent the same on board
his vessels; but which he was obliged to return by
order of Commodore Purvis, who claimed the pow.
der as British property in deposite after which, the
admiral retired with his vessels from the harbor by
order of the same officer. But, on the 18th Of the
same month, he re-enered the harbor with the same
force Of FIVE vessels, with the intention Of taking
permanent possession Of the aforementioned island
but meeting with opposition on the part of Commo.
dore Purvis, he retired as before, without accom-.
pshing his object; and the 18th, one of the Ar
gentine squadron at anchor, some distance from the
port got under way, when a shot from one of the
British ships of war brought her to, and compelled
her 10 anchor again; and on the same day, the Brit
ish merchant brig Themis, with cargo Of live
cattle from Maldonado, when near the port Of
Montevideo, was boarded by one Of the blocksdine
squadron and taken possession Of; which being OBJ
served bv Commodore Purvis, he sent an armed
boat forthwith and recapturcd said brig, and con-
Quoted the vessel and cargo into this port thus vo
lating the begcrcnt right of blockade. This cir.
cumsance, in addition to that OF firing upon one Of

flag OF his squadron TO superior force; and thus il
remained in inaction ill the 28th, when he hos,cd
his flag AGAIN. During this latter interval the gov.
eminent Of Montevideo awaited itself of the occasion
and strongly fortified and garrsoned the Isle Of Rats
which, however, did not deter Admiral Brown from
attacking H. on the Goth of the same month, with
two brigs and two schooners; but, meeting with
spirited resistance, he retired from the bar.

"The undersigned rear admiral, commanding

day, in the expectation that the Oriental ministry
would have conceded just satisfaction to the do

December last, by order Of the government Of his
Majesty the King Of the French, respecting the
Frenchmen in arms.
"The undersigned hoped that the Oriental gov

and its own interests, would have comprehended
the necessity of putting end to the army Of part
Of the French residents, and Of taking the arms
away from them, without their being able to take
them up again, under any prsiert whateuer.
"But the orders recently received from France,
urging the execution of the former one do not per-
init delay.
"The undersigned have, therefore, the honor to
beg that his excellency the Minister for Foreign Az
fairs will be pleased to make known to his govern
ment that it, in the term Of forty eight hours, the de-
cree Of che dismissal Of the armed Frenchmen is not
issued in spirit accordant with the intentions OF
