Fram the Massachusetts Mercury. Poverty of thoughtand attenuated matter mark the page, too generally, of American writers ; how often is the protra&ed co lumn crowded With the impressive demon it rat ion of an axiom ? And all the beauties of tautology and repetition displayed to rouse theat'ention of the curious reader ? The theme, like the tortured fit el beneath the hammer of the Cyclops, grows longer by the repeated ltrokes of imposed metal; and like u a wounded snake drags its flow length along." Sometimes we are prefect ed with a motley produ&ion, which is in debted for b rth to every quarter of the globe—compefed of scraps from Grcik and ( hinefe Philosophers and Critics —of the fame use to these daring Genii as a pocket book io a dog (excuse the comparison) carrying them in their mouths without knowing their contents. Citations from authors of acknowledged merit and ce lebrity arc fomeiimes net only use ful but neccflary to corroborate opinions of an a trufe or disputable i.ature—to give an addi tional force to moral, as well as fpcculativ<- truth ; and like the trembling light, feet) from a cottage in the wilderness, convince the traveller that his path, tho* devious, is not wholly untrodden ; but when they com* pose a fuperilruflure on the sandy founda tion of ignorance, their beauty is dcflroyed by their Wifpofition ; ar.d like patch work, prove the pride as well as poverty of the wnter. Would these learned gentlemen scribblers be to write for the amuse ment of themtelves and a fe\eß few, who are capable of discovering and tajling the bea'ty | of their eompjition—l would have them in ; the peaceful enjoyment of their Jp ighily fai lles * brilliant ideas, high wrought meta phors, and delegable contemplations ; but when they obtrude their produ6tious on a less difceruing worid, or those whose par partiality is vibiafled by kindred motives, they will reap a rich harvest offover*\gn con tempt. Nothing is without its cause. The natu ral enquiry then is, whence originates this eppreflion of the press, this t»x on paper, ilk and quills ? Fair science, tho' far from beiiig a coquette, is rather a coy dame A smile, er a kiss at fartheft, is the molt her fuitort must expeft for years ofattenti" on. The full fruition of all her charms was never granted to any. Merit and uir.defty are the only inlets to her favour—whiie the rude advances of the inflated coxcomb are repulsed with marks of merited contempt. I prcfume it is more from a want of sys tem is the pursuit of knowledge than a ca pacity for attaining it, which prevents'its acquisition. Too little time it allowed for the perusal of an author to make us acquaint ed with Lis thoughts or impress them on the mind.—How many, in eflimating their knowledge, will enumerate the books they have read ?—How extenftve must their knowledge be, who hive read a volume an hour by the clock i As many boast—and vi }io more fit to write ? H. CO N G R ESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Monday, March 17. Mr. F/irkcr feid, it was cuflomary in all countries to reir*rd Bi who lud rendered service to their country, by p:rforroi.ig gal lant a£Uon» ; tor ioine tunc w* had known that Captain Truxiun, in the ConftellatUn tiigate of the Uwt>-d States,'had had an a£lion wuha llvp of great torce in the Welt Indies, but until yellerday it was not known with what Ihip he had io gallantly cowtended —but now it is ufcertainrd, that the Ihip lie fought and beat was La Vengeance French (hip of w ir, of 52 gunj ; tin battle was amongst the molt bloody and defperatr that ha* taken place with such ungual force, and ti-rmihated moll honourably to the Cap tain, Officers, and Crew of the Couftellation. Other nations, in reward iur fuel) bnvery arid good cruiduft, reward their officers, it they ftrvive, with titles; if they fill, with monuments ; the firft we have not tht pow er to giv», wc had, would they be more grateful to oui officers than the appro bation of their country txprefled by Con- S'^fs—the latter we have granted to none : Something of the fort will be dose for our departed illudrious chief been dore forotliers, but as we wifli not to e: counter exptnee', and believing that our approbation will be grateful to tl*e captain, officers and crew of the Conftellaisn, which h.ve a fixond time diftinjfuithud thrmfelvc? so hinafomely in dt.fending the rights of their country, by either capturing or v,m qnifhing (hips of I'nperior force, and ft.mu late even other officers to follow the exam ple, and thus make eur flag refpeflcd. I beg leave to offer tlir following refWutioD, Jiesglvtdy by the Senate and House cf Representatives of the United States in Congref* afiVnbled, That a Golden Med?.!, emblematical of the late action between the United States, Frigate Conftella-tioji of 38 guns, Lnd the French Ihip of war La Ven gvance, of 52 guns, be prepared ur.der the orders of the Secretary or the Navy, and presented to Capt. Thomas IVnxtun, in testimony of the high sense entcrtaiped by Congiefs of his gallantry and £ood comiu& in- tly above engagement, wherein an exam ple was exhibited by the Captain, Ofljceri, bailors, and Marines, honourable to the American name, and instructive to its riling Navy. Ordered to Ire on the table, The bill entituled 44 An act to fix the compeniattap of the Pay-master-general, and the afliflants of the adjutant-general," was read a third time and patted. Mr. Claiborne, from the committee ap pointed for that purpole, reported a bill supplementary to the a&, entitled an adt lor amicably fettling the limits of the fVaje of Georgia, and authorising the eftablilhnient of a govtfrnment for the Mdfifippi territory which was read a irfl ani second time, and committed to a Committee of the whole Ho use. On motion of Mr. A Foster, the House came to the following resolution, v.z : Resohed, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any andr-if any, what alterations ought to be made in t;he art pal fed the pref at f« flion, iiiti led u an ait pro viding fertile second census ofth- inl.abi tahts of the United States," and that, they report bv bill or otherwise. Mr. Brace prelented a petition of Mary WooA<sr, widow of the late Maior Central YVoofter, wljich whs read, and rei'err» d to the Committee of Claims. << Mr. D. Foftcr, from the committee of claims, made a repot t on the petition of Ho fea who pra td for a penfion— wljether the petitioner could or could not have fubftamiattd a claim fur a pension here tofore, Ihe committee report that it would not be expedient for Congress to suspend the laws tor the admifiion of it at this iime, and that the petitioo ought not to be granted. In this report the house concurred. Mr, Cooper from the feledt committee to whom was referred a refutation relative to the pu chafe of the copper bed on Lake Su perior—reported a resolution authorising the Prefidet t of the United States, to appoint an agent for that purpose, and to< report a statement of the fadts to th s House through the medium of the Preftdent—which was referred to a committee of the whole house. The resolution laid on the table by Mr. Jones, on Friday lift relative to the a£t refpe£h'ng intercourse with the Indian tribes, was into coi>federation, and agreed to by the House, and a committee appointed 1 to bring in a bill. A message wai received from the Senate, by Mr. Otis their secretary, informing the house that the Senate have pafled the bill in tituled " *n aft to alter the times of hold ing the diftrift court in North Carolina" that they have rejefted the bill ifititlrd " an aft to expend the time of payment of bonds given forduu'ss of imports in certain cases," that they infill on their amendment disa greed to by this house to the bill infilled " an aft to allow a drawback of duties on goods exported to New Orleans, and there in to amei d the aft intitled " an aft regit, lating the collection of duties on imports and tonnage ; and that they request a confer ence, and have appointed managers for that purpose on their part The House went into committee of the Vhole on the bill to enable the Piefideut of the United States to borrow money fjr the public service—Mr. Parker in tt>e chair —when a long debate tock place between Messrs. Gallatin, Harper and Gtifwold, re lative to the finances of the country, after which Mr. N cholas moved to strike otic the amount of the loan, viz. 3.500,000 dols. and Mr. Gallatin entered into a very lengthy investigation of the fubjeft, and was followed by Mr.' Grifwold. Mr. Nichlas then rose and after declaring' it to bfi his in tentioa to vote against the bill, withdrew hid motion, and the com nittee rose and re ported the bill without amendment, and the houfc adjourned. The arrival of the (hip Supply from Li verpool, baa put us in polT.flion of a Dub lin paper of Decembrrjj, (several daya later than by the Dublin Packet.) To gra tify the public curiofi'.y, we haflcn to give the outlines of the Intelligence. THE SUPREME CONSUL has all power of appointment to pods in the army and navy—of Atnbaffadors and Minif tcrs of State—of Justice. He is comman der in chief of the armies, and has the initi at'un of ALL LAWS. His term of office i- ten years and is conitantly rc-cligible. THE CONSERVATORY BODY is compcfed of sixty members—who have been appointed by the Confitls and the two commifliens from the Legi dative Bodies of the old government —They hold their office for LIFE, have power of filling up vacan cies—but have no decilive or efficient influ ence—it extending only to determining the conftiiutionality of laws. ; it oug'ht to liaVr- chosen after a iong process of filtration from the people—receives all laws from the firil Consul, dffcufles them publicly—afterwards three from their body go to the LEGISLATIVE BODY, wheie these three deputies meet three more from the executive or chief consul, who eii i ptain the nature of the laws proposed. Af ter this elucidation they retire, and the Le gislative Body without debate, make their determination in secret. Such are the outlines of this famous Con. ftitaticn, Upon the firft view of it there appesrj to bt|a great regret and reluctance on the part of the framers, at being forced to let the people have any /hare in the government- The Constitution is a compound of aristo cracy and democracy ; much of the for mer, little of the latter—it is also not with out au infufion of monarchy. It is democratic, in as much as it is not founded in property ; as the body of per. sons eligible to the great national officers are drawn, by the process of filtration, from the great mass of the people ; It is also dc° mocratic, inasmuch as in explodes the idea of arbritrary arret! and imprisonment, and eftabl flies tbe trial fcy j«ry. It is aristocratic, because the people has no direst influence ; because ttay do nbt immediately appoint their, representatives ; because the government has the initiation of the laws ; because the decision upon those laws is to 'oe in secret j and because there is to be a body of men eleSed for life. It is monarchial, becauf; the chief power of the State is, in faft, entrusted to one man who is not responsible. The people of France were allowed only 3 days to give their opinion on this qoii (iitution. It has been very tmiverfallv ac ceded to. How long it will lalt it would be folly to prtdiiS. It is certainly very ener. gctic. But as long as the supreme executive has the initation or origination of all laws ) the idea of France being a free rep efenta. tive government is rediculous in the extreme- THE AMERICAN ENVOYS have arri ed at Lisbon, and are proceeding to Paris, ■» The Archduke on the Rhine has taken Manhcim, and forced the French to retire Irt Italy also the Auftrians are fuccefsful. The important fortref» of Coni hat at length capitulated and the French have fallen back as far as Nice. Peace feeas yet a£ adiftance.
