rirer points where ttiey came a cross, the boat be.onging to Niagara, on ks re turn, with a cargo valued at upwards of three hundred pounds; which they seized upon as a reprisal of the property taken from them at Fort Ofwego. ' We hear further, that the banks of the rivers to the westward arc lined with privateers, in wait for boats bound to Ni agara, and other British fettlenients, which they are determined to detain, not only as reprisals, but as violations of the embargo laid upon all vefTels in the ports and harbors of the United States. Fur the Gazette of the United States Oh America ! How highly favored have thy sons thought themselves, when in pursuit of honest industry—each one fitting under his own vine and fig-tree, and none to make him afraid ! But, alas ! The change —the ears of our brethren are deafened —their hands are ready to fall on the poor defencelefs Citizens, who after y'ears of toil and fatigue, expeCted they had found an Asylum for their years, and a profpeft for the advancement of their offspring in their growing industry, established in a manufacture, the produce of our country —and which we had long been beholden to other nations for, but by the perseverance of her Sons have at length brought to that perfection, as to. supply demand—well this bright prof peft mud be changed. Freedom ! Where i wilt thou prepare tlwfelf an abode ? Our houses are no longer oui castles: The fight of an Excise Officer, ready to seize the small profits which would have paid the expeCted demand, or gone to procure the means of a continuance in the busi ness from which we expeCt our bread. Reflection points out many characters who with difficulty itruggle along ? Is it • then those who have been rather more fortunate in the business, that the exac tion is to be made from ? Has not their property an equal (hare in beaiing the burthens of government, without taxing their industry ? 0 my countrymen ! Diftinite not your brethren, who will chearfully tontribute their proportion in the direCt and open _ line. Destroy not the infant manufac tures of America: There is yet difficul ties enough in the way to render them flow in their progress. Take not the — —i i- J means of support. ' It has been said, it is for the purpose of freeing onr brethren in Algiers from Slavery. We look on freedom, the great est of blefiings, and I would cheerfully fpaie the price of a suit of cioathing for this purpose, and hope there is not less patriotism, even In the women of Ameri ca than formerly—in the yea) 1779, they went from door to door, when they were told their brave soldiers wanted Ihirts ; and appropriated their collections to buy linen and make them ; such voluntary gifts expand the human heart, and poste rity records these noble exertions. 1 have now only to add that our respec ted Senate would, by throwing out, this detested excise law, this bane to religion, morals, and freedom, include amongst the number to return them her unfeigned thanks, one deeply interested. A Female Tobacconist. From the General Aduert'tfer. From good authority we can Rate that Mr. Monroe of the senate was nominated 1 yesterday to succeed Governeur Morris as f minilter to the republic of France. The real friends of their country will no doubt rejoice that the important trust of drawing closer the ties which unite the filter republics Ihould be placed in hands so worthy the confidence of republicans. 1 The following remarks on the above para graph, were omitted yesterday for want of room. A correspondent congratulates the Prep.- dent on having at length done something to merit the approbation of the party. A paragraph in yesterday's General Ad •vertifer announces the nomination of Mr Monroe of the Senate in terms of high pane gyrick, as tending' to cement our ties with France, by placing the trufl in hands so wor thy of the public confidence : the paragraphia is silent as to the circumstance of taking a member of the Senate to fend on a foreign Embajy, and the Very member who (report fays) was among the molt opposed to Mr. Jay s million, b.-caufe he was a judicial of ficer. What must the public think of the purity and patriotism which dictated so keen an opposition in the Senate, in the Demo cratic Club and in the paragraphs of the General Advertiser, to Mr. Ja/s appoint ment, on the ground of incomp atibilit y, and which no* not only arqulefces in ijut even ■anrgjrife.j the appointment of Mr, Monroe ? Is it not deoKMiftrable that it originated entirely in party and factious views, and t*r<s aor founded on public motives of na tional expediency ? If it was a deviation from the principiss of the Constitution to take a judicial officer for an executive ap pointment, was it less so to take a lcgifla tive officer ? If the precedent was dange rous in the one cafe, was it not equally so in the other; it was said, the executive might prevent an impeachment by remov ing a judge whose influence, abilities and enmity he dreaded ? Might he not resort to this indirect mode or getting rid of a troublesome oppufer of his measures in the Senate? If there was an impropriety in fending on a foreign embafly a judge, who might eventually fit in judgment on a 'treaty, which he had formed, under the positive directions of the President, is there no impropriety in seleCting for that office a member of a body, which determined th; t there Should be such an office, and which fixed the pay of the officer ? Wh-re then is the consistency of those who clamored against the appointment of the fudge and now ap prove that of the Senator ? If there was danger in one cafe, where the appointment was only temporary and for a particular and fpecified obje<!l, is not the danger enhanced in the cafe of a permanent and general ap pointment ? might not the circumstance of lending a nomination for the fanition of the candidates friends and intimates, and fellow members, always influenced by the Esprit de corps, be dwelt upon as a serious objection by those disposed to cavil ? The writer of the above, while he fees no validity in any cf the above objeftkms, sug gests them merely to attracS the public at tention so the conduit of the party, to dif pl .y in a strong cafe their views, and to ex hibit the wonderful effedts of a fop to CerbeYus. It mult occur to every pne who has watched their motions, that had this honor been con ferred on a person of opposite politics, a no mination, whitli received an unanimous v6te .in the Senate, would, as in the cafe of Mr. Jay, have excited a tempest of three days duration, would have been carried with dif ficulty, would have filled columns of a party paper with libellous insults and dirty infmu ations against the President, the oificeV apt pointed and the majority of the Senate, and would even have roused the patriotic ardor Democratic Society. Foreign Intelligence. LONDON, April 4. It we may believe a prospeCtus now circulating, the Prince of Saxe Cobourg is to take the field with a Printing Press in his train. The accounts of military operations from this new implement of field equipage, we may venture 10 pre dict, will be as full and impartial as those which used to appear in the Brussels Ga zette. It will be of particular service to, some papers, for moll of the articles which they were formerly obliged to ma nufacture, it will furnilh ready made. Ihe 1 urkifh Ambassador is certaihly on the eve of his departure from London, and a vessel has been appointed by gov srnment to take him from Dover to Of. tend. Several rumours were yesterday in cir culation respeCting the cause of this ab rupt departure, as, whatever his business mignt have been, his excellency departs re ir.faCta. Ihe cause is, however, obvi oufiy to be found in the recapture of j. fouioil, which extinguilhed the idea's of t the British force in the Mediterranean, and procured to the Freneh intereit the ascendancy in the Divan. _ Accounts have been received from Tu rin, Hating, that the forces under the command of General Dundas and Lord Hood were in possession of Baftia, which had surrendered to our forces. Calvi, the only p]?ce of importance which re mained in the island of Corsica, had offer ed terms of capitulation, which had not been acceded to. The accounts had just reached Turin from Leghorn before the messenger set out. A letter from an intelligent correspond ent on the continent, received by the last mails, contains the following very agreea ble communication, which, as friends of humanity, we earnestly wish to be realiz ?TX" u rila >' de P e "d upon it, that the definable event of a peace will very oon take place. Negociations for that purpose have been carrying on for some time between the belligerent powers ; and the people of Brabant entertain the moll confident expectations of a speedy anda micable adjuttmeot of all differences." \fc have the J'aris papers of the 25th, 26th and 27th of March. They con tain an account of further discoveries made with respeCt to the conspiracy, and a full report (which will be found in the Oracle) of the trial of Hcbert and his par ty. The situation of Paris is tranquil, and the discovery and destruCtion of the conspiracy seem to have produced on the part of the people an unanimous determi nation to support the National Convention. Baron Stael arrived about the middle of last month at Copenhagen, for the ve ry important purpose of negociating a treaty between Sweden and Denmark, for the protection of the Commerce of the two kingdoms, and for the mainte nance of their neutrality, by a powerful naval armament. Letters have been received in town by the Lord Mayor, and other persons, from Jersey and Guernsey, dated the 28th of March, which state, that the alarm in Jer sey hadconfiderably subsided. The force landed upon the Isles of Chauze amount ed only to 2000 men ; the Carmagnole frigate of 44 guns, had been wrecked up on that island, but the crew were saved. The circumstance of her firing a number of guns of distress had occasioned part of the alarm in Jersey. From the Lower Rhine? March 24. By various accounts we learn, that the negociations of the King of Pruflia for the provisioning of his army by the fix neighbouring Circles have not succeeded ; the elector of Bavaria and the duke of Wurtumberg particularly exenfed them selves, and were followed by various of the other Circles; since which we have received certain accounts that all the Pruflian army, except the Contingent of 20,000 men, will shortly march back to Cologne, and last Thursday the ftadholder of Bonn arrived at Cologne, to give notice to the chapter of the approaching march of the Prussian troops, and a Prussian officer is arrived there to notify the fame to the magistracy ; but as some arrangements must be made to provide the troops with sustenance on their march to Cologne, they will not march from Mentz for some time. The king of Prussia wrote a letter to the prince Cobourg, dated the 1 ith, acquaint ing him with the above resolution, adding that the Prussian troops ffionld not march all at once, but in divisions, that the Ge ~in ml n.:. T Lfc t.. rllr-iO fi fI A. fures as might prevent the enemy from taking advantage of their departure, and that he might secure the fortrefs of Mentz and the empire from any incursion. -A.pi il 5. Yesterday Mr. Sparrow, the king's mes senger, arrived at the secretary of state's office, with dilpalches from the Britiffi head-quarters, dated St. AMAND, April 1. On Saturday last, the enemy, in very great fuice, attacked the Austrian advanc ed polls near Cateau, and carried three vil lages ; but as loon as two battalions in the rear moved forward with some cavalry,they were repulsed with the loss of 584 men, whose bodies were found. On the 22d of March, three Prussian regiments passed through Mayence, on their return home, and large detachments of horse and'foot from the Austrian army under general Braun, have actually set out to replace them. By the information of the Captain of an American vessel it appears,that the French fleet, to the number of twenty-eight ffiips of the line, is at sea in different dfvifions. Our Frankfort correspondent's impor tant letter is replete with accounts of the universal alarm in which the ciefeiiton of the King of Prussia has involved all the Germanic States. The account of the surrender of Baftia was not received by government, as stated yesterday in mod of the papers. It was mentioned in dispatches received by the Neapolitan Ambassador, and, we believe, only as a report. Mrs. Jordan's son is named George— Prince of Wales stood godfather. LAW REPORT. Wood v.
