liberties of a people entire, and always will be—there are no men so superlatively virtuous, to whom a few hints from a public paper will not some time or other be, if not absolutely necessary, at least useful; and more especially if these men are entrusted with the administration of the affairs of a free people. But the manner in which the present administration and all its measures have been handled by some federal editors, sufficiently proves that their intention is not to correct the procedure, not to have measures which they term ruinous and subversive of the constitution, altered—neither can their conduct proceed from a dread lest improper measures might be adopted if they did not openly attack the administration;—no, the object of some of the federal prims can be nothing else than to bring the principle of a republican government into disrepute, by lavishing indiscriminate abuse on the men entrusted with the administration thereof. If the federal prints seriously thought that there was any danger to be apprehended from the persons at present administering the government, either from their ambition, their extravagance, or from their former conduct, they would be justified in their endeavours to bring about a change in the public sentiments, with regard to the public servants—but what are we to think

and important which society can boast of, and ought to pervade and animate the citizens of every free government; for if these sacred rights are treated with indifference and inattention, we may have to lament that we ever became free and independent. It is from a just and upright legislature that this country can expect to be relieved from her present embarrassments, and establish her future prosperity; and it is from that truly patriotic spirit which dignifies and adorns every friend of liberty, that we can preserve the blessings of peace and happiness. Let us then with a becoming firmness investigate the characters of those candidates for power and pre-eminence, that may offer to represent us under the new constitution. To scrutinize those who may exhibit themselves to the public as the political guides of a whole community, is a duty we owe to mankind and to our country: and if we should be so happy as to place our confidence in men of liberality, integrity, and virtue, we may expect to transmit our independence to future generations—but if wicked men should step into authority, they will encourage animosities in every department of society, impede the progress of government, obstruct all moral improvement, retard the operation of the most salutary laws, and promote the establishment of a government that

Under those happy political institutions which by this joyful occurrence have fallen to the lot of Louisiana; I sincerely hope, and confidently believe that the people will always have reason to rejoice, and I have no doubt but that by a wise and judicious exercise, and by a prudent and careful application of those glorious privileges, for which the constitution and the laws of the U. States are so justly celebrated, they will experience all that happiness and freedom, safety and prosperity which their brethren in the U. States so eminently enjoy. I am confident that the citizens of Louisiana will not be found less impressed with the importance of supporting and preserving the spirit of our government, or less devoted to the principles of the federal constitution, the rock of our national salvation, than any other of their fellow citizens in the union; that they will cultivate and promote by every expedient in their power, the constitution and laws laid down for their government, as the best means of securing to themselves and posterity all the principles of rational and practical liberty.

Mr. Hill, from the committee on the memorial from certain inhabitants of Wilmington, (N. C.) made a report, with an accompanying bill. The report concludes with a resolution that the memorial be referred to the secretary of state, to be laid before the President. The report was agreed to, and the bill referred to a committee of the whole. The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole, on the bill for the importation of ordnance, arms, &c. Mr. Varnum in the chair. Mr. Rutledge proposed an amendment, for extending the right of importation duty free to individuals as well as states. Messrs. Bacon and S.

from the village after they had carried it; but being enabled by great superiority of numbers, to bring continually fresh troops to the point of attack, they at last succeeded in maintaining the possession of that post. The communication between Gen. Clairfait's corps, and that of Gen. La Tour, which observed the entrenched camp near Maubeuge, being by this means cut off, it was judged necessary by the Prince of Cobourg to abandon the position which had been taken for the purpose of investing Maubeuge, the army passed the Sambre in the night without the smallest loss. Lieut. General Benzowsky, who commanded a detached corps upon the left of the army, defeated a corps which was opposed to him, killed a great number of the enemy, took 400 prisoners and 11 pieces of cannon. Count Haddick, who was detached by Gen. La Tour, likewise gained a considerable advantage, penetrated to Sorbe Chateau, and took three pieces of cannon. In the two engagements, the Austrians took 24 pieces of cannon and two howitzers, without the loss of one on their part. They have had about two thousand men killed and wounded. There can be no doubt that the loss of the enemy has been much more considerable. The Austrians now occupy the left bank of the Sambre. No certain accounts have been yet received

from the lower Inn, endeavored to fall out by Burkrain upon Hohenlinden; as we expected the enemy would make an effort upon the left, they having the evening before stationed troops in the valley of Isen, Gen. Grenier left in position the divisions of Legrand, Bastout, and the reserve of cavalry; who, in the moment when they were going to take the offensive, were themselves attacked. We sent to their support, some troops of Gen. Ney, and other divisions, which were at hand. Gen. Legrand and Bastout after having repulsed this attack; and having themselves pushed the enemy with such vigor;—in short, after several efforts, overthrew them with loss of part of their artillery. Gen. Bastout was wounded in this attack. The action was so general, that there was not a single corps of the French army which did not partake of it—which was the case with that of the Austrians. The snow fell in large flakes during the whole action. We have taken 80 pieces of cannon, 200 ammunition waggons, and 10,000 prisoners, a great number of officers, amongst whom are three generals. We pursued the enemy until night. I calculate our loss at a thousand men killed, wounded and prisoners.—That of the enemy is incalculable. Every part of the army exerted itself. The corps of Gen. Lecourbe who

We lost in this affair about 300 men in killed and wounded, while the loss of the enemy amounts to 2000. On the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th March, the armies continued in their respective positions. On the 12th indeed a pretty strong reconnoitring party of our army attacked the advanced posts of the enemy, and killed, wounded or took prisoners from 17 to 20 men including two officers. We lost on our part five men in killed and wounded. 22 Ventose—March 13. At day break the alarm gun was fired, the Generale beating to arms in the city, and every one repired to his post; the enemy advanced in good order, forming a close and very extended line. We waited with impatience to receive them. At 7 o'clock in the morning the action began along the whole line. The force of the enemy seemed to amount to 12,000 men, the garrison, reinforced with troops from the neighborhood, might amount to 4,000 men, of whom 600 were cavalry. The shock was brisk on both sides; our cavalry twice made a charge; the second time they penetrated to the centre of the enemy's line, and compelled five or six hundred men to lay down their arms.

Plenipo. The Archduke Charles has also left his army, and has arrived on the Rhine. General Clark is to go French Ambassador to Vienna, where a splendid hotel is fitting up for his residence.—The French troops which passed the Rhine in Suabia, have repassed that River, into France: But none of the armies were disbanded at the latest dates. The Emperor will insist on the British King's sending a Minister to the Congress of Berne—where the details of the Peace will be discussed. The French newspapers say, that England will not be required to give up ALL the acquisitions she has made—as the French have nothing equivalent belonging to them to give in return. The Prince of Orange, late Stadtholder of Holland, will assist at the Congress at Berne; though it is much doubted if ever "the Prince shall have his own again." LONDON, May 9.

Of our commissioners, we have no other account, than what we received by a vessel from Havre, which had put into Guernsey, in distress, prior to captain Colley's sailing which informed that there were three commissioners appointed on the part of the French republic to treat with ours—and that matters would be amicably adjusted.

The private letters from Vienna assert that the conditions proposed by the French are inadmissible, and that other powers have resolved to interfere to preserve the integrity of the German empire.

France is sending to Italy. The Emperor of Russia has promised his influence to preserve the neutrality of the north. Prussia has given assurances of neutrality, and that she will preserve the free navigation of the Weier and Elbe, and will maintain the neutrality and independence of Hanover. Joseph Bonaparte, and Talleyrand are said to have voted for peace in the French Council of State, when the question of Peace or War was decided. The French are about to take possession of Leghorn, Genoa, and all the Neapolitan harbors. May 21.—Lord Whitworth's Secretary still remains at Paris, and the French minister's in London. The former was left to receive any answer the French government felt disposed to give to the British ultimatum; Shaw has been dispatched by our minister to the Secretary.

from an apprehension that an insurrection would be the consequence. A correspondent observes, that as nothing cements mankind together firmly so much as mutual interest; that it would be proper, in case Great-Britain should enter into a commercial treaty with the United States of America, to let each vessel that may be employed in transporting merchandise from one country to the other, be one half owned by the British, and the other half by the Americans. This would tend to unite the two countries together in a firmer bond of friendship, than they ever were; for then, the power that injured one country would injure the other, which would make it the mutual interest of both countries to punish any nation or people that dared to molest them in their trade; and would, in all human probability, keep them united in the bonds of friendship to the end of time.—A contract of this kind might also induce Great-Britain to permit the United States to trade to her West-India islands, in vessels in which her own subjects were half concerned.—The interest of the inhabitants of both countries would then be exerted on both sides the Atlantic; &c. to get such vessels fully loaded, by which there would be the greatest probability of their making money.

produce, which were afterwards conveyed (whether legally or not) into the ports of North-America, there is no reason to doubt. It is therefore more than probable, that the whole, or the greatest part of the balance due and received from the planters in our own islands, was remitted by the Americans to Great-Britain, in reduction of their debts to the British merchants. And such were once the happy effects of colonial navigation and commerce! Though spreading through a variety of distant channels, their profits all returned to, and ultimately centred in Great-Britain, like rivers to the ocean, which, as philosophers tell us, supplies by unobserved operations, and through a thousand secret recesses, the springs and fountains of the earth:—but these, after giving fertility and life to the remotest corners of the globe, return back with collective and augmented force, and freighted with golden treasures, to the bosom of their general parent. In the preceding enumerations of the exports from the British West-Indies to North America, I am not clear that my statement conforms to official documents. The Custom House books in the West Indies, out of which those documents are formed, afford no certainty of information; for many of the bays, creeks, and shipping places in the islands (particularly in Jamaica) being remote from the ports of entry, it

to the revenues of Great-Britain! I come now to the loudest of all the objections that have been urged against the establishment of a liberal intercourse with the Americans; namely, the supposed danger of their engrossing the navigation and carrying-trade of this kingdom; on which, however, it is sufficient to observe, with respect to our sugar colonies, that the argument whereon this objection is founded (if I rightly comprehend its meaning) takes for granted what yet remains to be proved; since it implies, that the admission of American vessels into our West-India ports allows them also a free trade from thence to Great-Britain. But assuredly this does not necessarily follow. Whether it may be prudent in Great-Britain to consent to so liberal an extension of her navigation laws, is a question of general policy, whereon it would be presumptuous in the West-India planters to offer their opinion. Impressed with the dread of impending evils, they confined themselves, to their own particular situation, requesting only, that America may be permitted, as formerly to bring them food, and such other necessaries as Great-Britain herself cannot furnish. They are told that "Canada and Nova Scotia shall satisfy their wants." We have demonstrated the folly of this expectation. "But Great-Britain claims the monopoly of their produce." It has been shown that she will still possess it to every beneficial purpose. Obstacles, * Lord Alvingdon's Speech, July 15, 1783. * The price is now 18s

"2d. That America is willing to renounce, during the present war, the pretensions of carrying on in time of war all trade with the enemy's colonies, from which she was excluded during peace." "3d. Great Britain, for the purpose of securing the operation of the embargo, and the bona fide intention of America, to prevent her citizens from trading with France, and the powers adopting and acting under the French decrees, is to be considered as being at liberty to capture all such American vessels, as may be found attempting to trade with the ports of any of these powers; without which security for the observance of the embargo, the raising it nominally with respect to Great Britain alone, would in fact, raise it with respect to all the world."

He has stretched his arms across the Northern frontiers, and will seal up the channels of commerce. The great Emperor, or the French eagles will be planted on the walls of St. Petersburg; and thus will Alexander be punished for his treachery to Austria. As to Americans, their case is hopeless. When will our government realise the views of France? She promises every thing, and condemns every thing.

They'll tell you it is fate, by which those things doth move, Which causeth them to that and me to love.

Parnassian Spring. THE MOURNING MOTHER. FROM Heaven's high concave, where serenely The eye of mercy beams upon the blest, [mild Look down, O fainted spirits of my child, And view the anguish in the parent's breast. Yet rather turn from misery and woe Thou dearest offspring of connubial love, Nor let a mother's wretchedness below A moment dash thy happiness above. Short sighted reason, ignorantly vain! Who in the womb of distant time could see, Or think I ever could have felt a pain From that which gave felicity to thee! Maternal fondness frequently would rise To that extreme, that wonderful degree, That scarce I sent an accent to the skies, But what was sent in tenderness for thee. Each beam of genius open and refin'd With what exquisite transport would I trace And mark how each expression of the mind Soar'd up at once to dignity and grace. Come memory, come, all tortur'd and declare What souls like mine shall never cease to know, For anguish finds a pleasure to despair, And brood on all her amplitude of woe. Pardon just Heav'n, for where the heart is torn, The human drop of bitterness will steal, Nor can we lose the privilege to mourn, While we have left the faculty to feel. Religion, come, thou sister of the skies, And

I have seen thee great, And many a grave divine. I'm sorely griev'd at times to find, The very instant thou art kind, Some people so uncivil— When aught offends, with face away And base ingratitude they cry, "I wish it to the Devil." Hath some poor blockhead got a wife, To be the torment of his life, By one eternal yell— The fellow cries out coarsely, "Zounds! I'd give this moment twenty pounds To see the jade in hell." Should heav'n that prayer so ardent grant, Thou never company wouldst want To make thee downright mad; For, mied me, in their willing mood, They never offer thee what's good, But every thing that's bad. Blushing I own thy pleasing art Hath oft seduc'd my vagrant hart, And led my steps to joy— The charms of beauty have been mine, And let me call the merit thine, Who brought'st the lovely toy. No, Satan—if I ask thy aid, To give my arms the blooming maid, I will not, thro' the nation all, Proclaim thee (like a graceless imp) A vile old good for nothing imp, But say, "tis thy vocation, Hal." Since truth must out—I seldom knew What twas high pleasure to pursue. Till thou hadst won my heart— So social were we both together, And beat the

st year of his age; his death is sensibly felt by all those who were acquainted with his virtues, especially those who were nearly allied to him in the bonds of love and friendship;—his afflicted and distressed widow laments and mourns her sudden—ah! too sudden bereavement of a tender and affectionate husband, his children grieve for a father, who was the guide of their youth; his mother is overwhelmed with sorrow for the loss of a dutiful son, nor are his relations and other friends, especially the members of the Masonic Society wanting in sympathetic expressions on the loss of a worthy brother. But what avails our tears? can we stay the relentless Hand of Terrors? or can we lay upon the Lord, who doeth thou? rather let us lay out hands on our mouths, and our mouths in the dust, so long as we have hopes of our departed friend, whose deportment through life has merited the esteem of all honest men. Lord, what is man? or what create can he? But troubles, sorrows, and degenerate man. Imperfect man! why boast thou of thy dust? Thy will, thy freedom, and unbounded wills, Thou canst not boast of even morning's light, For God may call'th hence before 'tis night, And soon in earth thy fabric may be laid
