" I have just arrived here from a Guada loupe prison, where I have been plundered and insulted in the mod barbaroui manner. Judge of my feelings, when I found four of our cruizers in this port, where, however, 1 have since learned, they all had budnefs, and will be off soon on their cruizing ground. " The United States should own about 15 or Jo m«»re brigs and small Blips (16 to 18 guns), and by keeping mult of them on the Guadaloupe (lation, prote&ed by two or more large fripates, the pirates would soon be entirely cut up, and imnienfc fuins acquired «nd saved, by French prizes and re captured Britilh and American veflels."

COMMUN ICATION. A correspondent observes, that pride, and the indolence of party f irit, does more in jury to the cause of tederaHsm than moll people are aware of, as being the great cause of the want of union and energy ; while tr.e anti Jed- aiists are united as one man from New Hampshire to Georgia. Let us en deavour to make this thing some hat intel ligible. Ihe former are it) poffelTion of the government and resources of the country. 1 he latter have been long emieavouriag to get pofTeffion ; a'd it is always an easy mat ter o fuppprt an oppofrtion to n««d laws, becauCe they are a rtftraint < n the licentious This ought to excite vigilance in the pof feflors ; but they trust to »ne another, aft with fupinenefs, and appear, at least a great pro portron of them, to feel as frcure as people in a garrifun in time of pe ce. Men of talents will not employ their pens, and individuals are above advising but with a fele& few, and some of whom may per haps be badly chofes. There is not (hat in tercourse and freedom of communicatioa, which is abfolutely.necefiary for aright uu derft uding'tof thef'deral interests. It is proper that men in public flation* fliould be corre&lv informed refpeifting the operation of the Sws and meafur.-fc of gov ernment ; but in order to obtain that infor mation with mo e certainty, they (hould a void all unneceflary reserve., It is true, General Washington did not appear to m x mui h with the world, but he always had people about him, both when in military and civil life, who were capable of giving the best opinions, and on whom he could rely ; and his found judgment enabled him to compare and draw just conclufiq'fli. It was remarked of Colonel Hamilton when in public office, that he took uncommon pains to obtain the opinions of men of in formation on certain measures before he a dopted them : audio colltft the public sen timent. He knew mankind, and u mud be supposed that hi* long acquaintance with, ai d intimate knowledge of a Wafliington, was no disadvantage to him.
