On Sunday last The President of the United States returned to this city from Rhode-Island : He had a fine pafTage of 24 houis only : His Excellency Governor Clinton, Mr. Jefferfon; Sepretary of State, Judge Blair, Gol. Humphreys, Major Jackson, and Mr. .Nelson, who accompanied The President, rettyned with him. The long wished for period is at length arrived : Speculation in the public fecurit'.es has received acheck,*on principles, which alone are competent to producing f<r desirable an in a way con sistent with justice, and a due regard to perfortal fight. As there can be no rational doubt of ]the pun£cual payment of the interest, agreeable to the funding system, every person can with precision dfeterminethe real valueof his property in the funds; and every facrifice in future must be voluntary. The value of se curities no longendepends on opinion. Happy foroUr country, its funds cannot he affected by those e vents which cause perpetual flu&ations in the public "paper'of *he European Spates : Tiie waters of fepar-ation have set us at a moit favorable distance from the old world—and the policy of the Uni ted States will conf)ft in being entirely detached from those views, hopes and iears which c >nvulfe the Eastern Hemisphere. Every idea that isconne£feed with the rafourqes of the United States is fuN of hope; they must rapidly encrcafe with our encreaf ing population, agriculture, manufactures, and extending com merce. In proportion as speculation in the funds is diminished, thecirculation of the precious metals will encrcafe ; the profits which have been derived from speculation, itke a whirlpool, have drawn the specie out of its proper cowrie—and left the tiade, the agriculture, manufactures and mechanic without adequate fupp'iesof calh ; these lupplics will now revert to their proper channels, aria thus the funding fyfttm will, mediately, prove a source of bleifing to ail claffcs of citizcns—lo those who never saw a public ferui ity. The funding system will pr<uluf.c a grciLrevolution in our pru dential affairs—anc altogetlTPr Tor tlfe Wetttr could uever have been efFc£lcd but by a change in our national government— and with innumerable other fcnfible advantages, obvious to every discerning mind, and readily acknowledged by every candid citiztu, are a fufHcieot answer to every ilander, or mischievously intended infinmtion against tjie or the adininiftra tion thereof. Rumours rf zvdrs continue—but neither the Weft-India or Eng lifti paragraphifts, the journals or log-l>ooks of f.amen, or the hopes or fears of interested individuals, furniih a Tingle instance of the Spaniards and English coming to loggerheads :—lt is the ' wish of humanity they never may. The substance of all the ma rine intelligence on the fubjeft is, that a vessel spoke a veflfel, which had seen a veiTel,that saw a frigate that run the gauntlet through the Spanifti fleet. Any person that that can give any account of the Englifti rm ffengcrto the Court of Spain —or of the Spnnifh fl< et,or of the English fleet, that has failed on a fecHt expedition to South America, will please to call on the public. It is ihrewdly fufpefted by some politicians that there will be a general war in Europe, by sea and land : They fay universal phlebotomy is the only remedy for the French influenza, which is spreading all over the Eastern hemisphere—even the Pontificate isinfefted—Catharine 6f Ruflia has her fears on the fubjefl— and this circnmftanCe it is thought has induced her lately to infiil on terms of pacification that are monstrously extravagant. The Roman Senate very fuccefsfully employed this artifice for ages, to keep the people quiet under their oppreflions : When ever they began to grumble they immediately had their attention diverted by a quarrel, to support the honor of the Roman name : thus they forged chains for themselves by conquering their enemies. The negociation between Spain and Great-Britain, is really a fubjeft of curious speculation : It appears to be rather like the ne gociation of a treaty of alliance, ofTenfive and defensive, than re monftratmg on real or supposed injuries : We hear nothing of ca tegorical answers. Query, Whether/ the Englifti aristocracy and the executive do not forebode the French contagion : If the veo maftry of Great Britain were to let themselves fcrionfly to work, it is fufpefted that they could conjure up a few grievances. The donations of the city of Paris to the nation, amount to 40,600,000 livres. A noble offering on the altar of freedom. On apprehensions of a scarcity of flour ai?d grain, the importa tion of those articles into Grenada, in Bfilifh bottoms, from fo reign Weft-India Islands, is permitted by a proclamation of Gov. Matthews., The (loop Experiment, Capt. Boyd, from Albany, has brought to this port forty hog fheads of maple sugar, made at Cooper's town, on Otfego Lake : Mr. William Cooper is the proprietor of this val uable specimen—which by a fcertificate in the Albany Register, (4 *ned by a number of the most refpeclable characters in that quar ter, ladies and gentlemen, who had used it, is declared to be su perior to the best Muscovado sugar. Maple sugar has beeu made in this country more than thirty years ; but from inexperience, and the badness of the apparatus used in manufacturing it, it was never contemplated that it could be brought to its piefent excellent quality : There is no doubt that it will attain to a much greater degree of perfe&ion.
