JOHN HALLOWELL, Sec'ry^
It is a remarkable thing, butonethat.has
hitherto efcapcd remarks, that our anti-go
vernment men, who made
ant uproar about the detention of the Wef
ternPofts by the BritilhGarrifons,have to this
moment been silent and pafliveas lambs, about
the detention ofthepoftsontheMiffiflippi by
the Spaniards, in dirrß violation of treaty, for
15 or 16 months after the time stipulated.
This is to be accounted for by the belief of
all " patriots," that the Spaniards are under
the French and must do as they are bid; for
it is the firft article in all the democratic
creeds that " republicans can do no
wrong."
When Poland was cut up into three slices
for the three adjoining MSnarcbs, the mod
hideous outcry was raised by all lovers of
freedom—and justly—But when the French •
Republic begins to eut and carve for herfelf j
or her good despotic allies, it is all right e
nough with our " patriots." France may
overturn and take possession of half the dat?S
of Europe, and not excite one' democratic
murmur.
Jud so' with the privateering business.
When a British {hip of war took a vessel
or impressed a man near our harbours, our
patriots were all fire and vengeance. But
one French privateer puts in Marblehead—
another into the Delaware to look for Amer
ican vessels that are about failing, which
they take and confifcate, without ceremony
and all this make* no budle among our cof
fee house " patriots."
What a puppy-like temper isit that makes
a difference between robbers. " Iffachar is a
drong ass, bowing under two burthens!"
but our democrats are worse, for they wince
only at one fide of. the load, while they
meanly crouch to the other, and kiss the
hands that lay it on the (houlders.

being thought a true friend to our country— 1
to be willing on evefy- occasion to facrifiee '
private interest' to the public good—to die J
in her defence when necessity demandsl
holy principles—may ye be ever cherilhed,
cultivated and venerated by Americans ! Of '
all the paflions which inhabit the human I
bread, tione is more strong —more univer- '
sal—than attachment to our country ; it
poflefies the inhabitant of mod desert 1
and comfortlefs sties in as forcible a manner 1
as the citizen of a polished well regulated 1
society,, v.here laws and manners tend to '
secure and sweeten human .felicity. If the 1
inhabitants of the frozen . region of Nova •

of Africa, where physical and moral causes t
combine to depress and weigh down terref- h
tial bliss, idolize the spot that gave them !
birth, how much more drongly ought the ;
holy fire of patriotism to burn in t'nebofoms
of the people of the United States, where
mild and equal added to every improve
ment and refinement of civilized' life,, con
fpirc to feeiire and promote universal happi- '
ness. How ought our indignant fouls to
unite in one blaze of national vengeance at
the attempts of any foreign foe to interrupt
so beautiful an order of things ? By un?on
we (hall repel, by division we have invited in
jury and insult ; let us then Americans, my
dear fellow-citizens, at this very intereding
crisis, (when our fate as to peace or war
seems to hang by 3 thread) cad far from us !
all internal, diflfention—let not an ambitious
and plundering nation be invited to our
(hores by division among ourselves—by the '
fiend-like hope they may be led to indulge,
of finding affidan ce Jrom some of you in the j
degradation afcd rmn of your country. O ;
horrid thought ! O patricidal idea !—to
think that the citizens of free America,
should, by their anti-patriotic conduct, have
given any foreign nation whatever, the small
est ground to harbor the satanic hope, that
they would find citizens of the United
States diabolical enough to join them in the
devastation—the dedruftion of their coun
try. The present is an awfiri crifn ! big
with the fate of every thing dear to our
I country—of our religious and civil institu
tions—os our morals and our property, and
even of our lives. Let us not imitate those
degraded voluptuous fiaves of Italy—let us
call forth that unyielding spirit-—that holy,
firm, and patriotic zeal, which animated us
in our last druggie for independence—let us
Jet a mark upon our mo/l danger out enemies—'
our internal vipers, who, even at this moment
applaud and juftify the unheard-of injuries
and intuits we have received from France :
Are such men to be fuffered to remain a
mong us in time of danger ? No, my fellow
citizens, we are too wife for that, and I
hope too human* to apply their favorite in
strument the GUILLOTINE as a cure for
their want of patriotism. The present 1
fay, it a serious and gloomy moment, the
dreadful clouds ofdemocratic-diieftory-fury
hang over our devoted heads ; for our fate,
in common with that of England and Aus
tria evidently depends on the success of the
legislatiVe body against the executive of
France; but, {hould the direftory unhappily
prevail over the councils, woe betide human
ity, for the druggie will be dreadful between
that hydra of carnage, anarchy and guilt—
" the fire-headed monster," and the remaining
forces of- religion, morality, manners and
laws,throughout the civilized world. Thank
God, that our doom seems, in this refpeft
so closely linked to that of England—thank
God, that (he has five hundred rtiips of war,
and praised be our good luck at this parti
cular time, in being so much ia debt to Eng
land ; whether she makes peace with the
all-devouring, all-plundering Republic, or
not, she, it is to be hoped, will take care that
we flftll not be rendered unable to pay what
is due her by the people of the United States.
Let what will be the policy of Europe with
refpeft to us, it it necefTary we /hould be
united, independent and firm, by which we
may avert aartger ; whereas n contrary con
duft will make us cafily fall a prey to the
merciless fangs of foreign enemies. I feel
a patriotic pride rn knowing that the depre
dations and injuries done us by France,
have left but one sentiment among the bulk
of my countrymen, who, (with afeivtxcep

further aggrefiion to the last drop of their

1 ON THE IMPORTANCE OP QUALIFICATION
1 FOR PUBLIC OFFICES.
1 Fnm tb» PERSIAN of ABOOL-FUZZUT.
1 POWER is a sacred trust committed in
, to the hands of the cjiofen few, for the pro
, tcftion and happiness of the many. Be
; careful, ye cleft, so to discharge the trust
committed to yoa, that vier. called upon
to render an account of it, you may not be
found-deficient.
Among other prerogatives of power one,
not the least in importance, is the appoint
ment to public offices. This, as it is ex
posed to much temptation, requires enlight
ened understanding, pure principle, and firm
resolution, to avoid abufesip the application
of it. To the eye of reflection, however,
the nature and coni'equercce of this branch of
human government are evident, ijor will a
drift adherence to the proper use of it be
difficult when a just impression has been re
ceived of the serious evils that spring from
its misapplication. Good rulers and wife
legfftators may enaft the bed laws, but if
regard be not paid to the feleftion of proper
men for the execution of them, they avail
nothing to the community, and often times
become the cloak of victf; the source of
greater evils than these were intended to
prevent. Above all, the due qualification
of judicial officers, the civil judge, and the
criminal defaand3 the mod par
ticular attentimi. If in any department of
the public service a regard to charafter, ta
lents, and habfts, be
necefTary, it is most eflentially requiiite in
the adminidration of justice. In this the
ruler is truly the vicegerent of God upon
earth ; and if he negleft the sacred duties
of his station, by delegating through frierid
fhip, favor, or felf-intereft, a portion of his
authority to men incapable of direfting it to
its proper end, {hall he not be answerable
to his heavenly judge for all the consequen
ces proceeding from his wilful breach <of
trust ? Rcfleft on this ye rulers of the earth !
and in the diftribtition of your patronage
tremble at the thought of being parties in
the misdeeds of unworthy officers of you*-
appointment. You are yourselves the foun
tains of judice through your refpeftive king- j
doms, and if the dreams which flow from
[ you be pure, fertilized and beautiful, will
j be your territories ; happy and grateful your
| people ; but if the current be polluted at its
fource> what hope is there that in its course
it will become purified ? It mud every
where impart its pedilential dregs, and uni
versal corruption is the natutal consequence.
To speak more plainly, judicial funftions
cannot be exercised without wisdom pro
portionate to the sphere of duty ; virtue to
resist every temptation to partiality ; and
zeal and aftivity to overcome indolence and
dimulate exertion. The magistrate who
unites these qualifications is a father to the
people under his care, and reflefts the highed
honor on the prince who appointed him.
But any considerable defeft in their effenYal
requisites, entails injury, loss, and perhaps
ruin on thousands : whether ignorance, vice,
or lethargy, fill the awful feat of jtidice, the
consequences to the fuffering multitude are
nearly the fame. The usurped rod of pow
er becomes the scourge of the human race,
and the unhappy viftims, who perhaps fee
not the arm that holds it, are either driven
by despair to the dandard of rebellion ; or,
in the hope of more benignant dominion,
transfer their property and their labour tb a
foreign land.
These art a fiw of the evils of disqualifi
cation in judicial, and other public officers.
I have elsewhere dated more particularly
the qualifications required in the leveral offi
cers of the royal household, the army, and
the civil government. What I have now
fuccinftly added, will, I trud, fuffice to
(hew the importance, the indifpeafable obli
gation of attention to the personal charafter
of every one intruded with a public funfti
on ; and especially with the adminidration
of judice. Truly has it been said that " as
lenity to the criminal is cruelty to the com
munity infeded by him ; so kindness or hu
manity in the appointment of an unworthy
public officer, is unkind and inhuman to the
millions who may fuffer from his defefts."

A letter from Lisbon, dated the 12th of

dron remained perfeaiy loyal, and under
the moll complete discipline, a mutiny had
begun to (hew itfelf on board the St. George
of 98 guns, commanded by capt. Peard,
but, by the spirited exertions of the officers
had been discovered and entirely fupprefled
before' it was carried ihto execution. The
trial of the ringleaders occupied the whole
'of B riday and Saturday, the 7th and Bth,
when, after a most impartial hearing, 4 of
them were condemned, and executed the
next fnorning. The followihg judicious or

GENERAL ORDER.
" Every ship in the fleet is to fend two
boats withan officerin each, and two marines
or soldiers properly armed in each boat, on
board his Majesty's ship the St. George, at
half pad seven to-morrow morning, to attend
a punilhment. The sentence is to be carri
ed into execution by the crew of the St.
George alone ; and no other (hips, as fs u
sual on similar occafiom, are to afiift in this
painful service, in order to mark the high
sense the Commander in Chief entertains of
the loyalty, fubordination of
the reft of the fleet, which he will not fail to

the Admiralty, and request of their Lord
ships to lay it before the King. This me

" On the 28th of June our troops were

" At the head of this aflembly of people
