Ville Franche will enjoy greater tranqui

PHILADELPHIA,
JUNE 11.
From a Correfpomicnt.
Mr. Monroe's apologist, in yfifterday's
General Advertiler, makes this dittinftion
and the only dittinftion between the cafe
of Mr. j. and that of Mr. M. to conlifl
in this, that the former continues to hold
his office of Chief Justice, whereas the
latter has refigncd his feat as Senator.
But this diflinttion can only apply to
a ptriotl subsequent to their refpcclive ap
pointments, and does not derogate from the
force of the ftriftures on M's inconlilten
ciesj the incompatibility, if any, fubfilt
ed in both cases with equal validity at the
time of appointment. Mr. M. objected to
Mr. j's appointment, as being then Chief
Justice ; Was not Mr. M. Senator when
Be was appointed Minister ?
How does the apologifl labor to ex
tricate his friend from the dilemma to
which he has been reduced ? Why, by the
following curious obfervati'on, " The ob
jection to Mr. J. in the Senate upon the
ground of the confutation was probably made
in the belief or intimation of his friends
that he meant not to resign his judicial
office." Ought a member of such a dig
nified body as the Senate of the United
States, to ast merely on probabilities and
intimations ? Did Mr. J. himfelf declare
previously to his appointment, that he
would not resign his Chief Jullicefhip ?
Could he, before his appointment declare
it ? Would not such a declaration have
been inconfiflent with the manliness of
Lis character Would it not have been
construed into a solicitation for an cmbaf
fy, which it is well known he accepted
with great reluctance, and from a patriotic
fente of duty to his country at a momen
tous and critical junftnre ?
The objection, fays the apologifl, on
the ground of the conftitation arose from
a probability and an intimation. Was it
Mr. M's practice to make conflitutional
objections on such flimfy foundations ?—
Bat the following reasoning is com In live,
and I defy Mr. M. and a holt of apologilts
to get over it.
Either the objedtiftni cn the ground of
the conjl'uul'ion as it is called, applied to
the period when Mr. J. was nominated,
irto a period) subsequent to his appoint
ment.
If to the foimer, then the objection on
the score cf constitutional incompatibility,
was as valid against Mr. M. as Mr. J. If
the obje&.iou applies to the period subse
quent to his appointment and there cxiits
a conjiitutional incompatibility, then Mr. J.
must be deemed no longer Chief Justice,
for his acceptance of the office, of, M
ini fter vacates his ojjice as Chief JuJlice.
Now I leave Mr. M's apologist to make
his ele&ion ; if he applies the confHtu
tional objection to the former, it invali
dates his own appointment; if to the lat
ter, then all the idle, clamor about Mr.
J. is ridiculous—and Mr. M. and his
friends must resort to new grounds of at
tack on his appointment.

VIENNA, March 29.
All thi travellers who come from Tur
key represent that country as gieitly
in want of corn, which will be no small
embarrassment to the carryirig on of a war
with Russia, and it is hoped, n&twith
llanding the preparations making at. Bel
grade and elfewiiere, that a rupture will,
be avoided. Our Court, however, in or
der to be prepared again!!; all events, are
reinforcing the frontier garrisons, "and re
pairing all the fcrtrefles towards Semliii.
1 he fame accounts from Constantinople
add, that the people continually (hew their
discontent in their usual way, by feitinj
fire to the town in different places. On
the 24th of February the large magazine
of corn was nearly in flames, but that ca
lamity was happily prevented. The Ja
nifTaries have daily quarrels with the Alia
tic troops, of whom there are 40,000 in
Constantinople, learning the new tatties ;
in these quarrels there is generally blood
spilt.
