Finn ite Natiorcf InttlVigtnter. Federal Misrefresektation. No. XIII. Having made an enumeration of the civil appointments by the present execu tive from the third day of March 1801, to the third day of May 1802, with the circumflanccs under which they were made, so far as vve have been able to colleft them; which arc considered as correft, though they are not exhibited with any pretention to official accuracy, it may now be proper to analifc and ar range them. This has been already, in some mcafure, done, in the National In telligencer of the 13th of January, so far as related to appointments antecedently made. The present view will comprise the statement then made, with the addi tion of subsequent appointments, to the x third of last month. The whole of the appointments amount t 0 Which may be arranged as follows; Cases of resignation, declcntion, promotion or death 26 Os expiration of commifllons, not renewed 3 Os vacancies left unfilled by the former administration, modi/ con fa iKips, with new consular appoint ments z-j Os new nominations, in the 100 m of what have been called midnight appointments/vi/. thofemadein the ffijt days or hours of Mr. Adams’s being in office 2 r Os federations to office which the individuals appointed had held be fore 6 Os removals for mifeonduft, or revolutionary toryifni 14 Os marlhals and attorneys remov ed, and republicans fubdituted, as a protection for republican citizens a guind the lederalifm of the courts 3 Os removals, to give to those who have been fyllematically excluded, some (hare in the adminidration of the government 5 Os removals on grounds of special propriety , 5 Os new anointments 3 In all 125 Much has been said of the perfccuting spirit of the executive in the removal of federal officers. The topic is dill the text bf inventive, whenever all others fail. It laeomes republican prints as often as the charge is made, to repel it ; and not on ly to assert, but to prove, that no admi nidration has ever exided, which owed its exigence to a revolution in the public fentiraenr, that has exhibited so much for bearance and magnanimity. To furnifli this proof the above datement, the foU lowing elucidating remarks are published. During the lad fellion the Prefidanr, in order to demondrate the magnitude of executive patronage, and to guard against its poffiblc abuse, presented to congress a document, containing a view of all the cxiding offices, with the emoluments at tached to each. In the civil department there appear, with tKe exception of all the pod-maders, and a hod officers, to be 2,044. Os this number, in a period of filtecn months, thirty-three have been removed on a variety of grounds above fpccified. Twenty.one new appointments have been made to office, attempted to be filled by Mr. Adams, after he had lod the con fidence of the nation. Fifty-four making altogether. Os those removed— Some were guilty of official mifeonduft by not attending to the difeharge ot du ties. Some were intemperate in their habits. Some had not accounted, as by law directed, for public monies. Some were deemed incompetent. Some had solemnly declared they would hold no office under the present executive, thereby making themfclvcs obnoxious to the belief that their personal antipathy would frudrate their performance ot duty. Some were in offices, which it is agreed on all hands, ought exclulively to be tilled by those who enjoy the entire confidence of the executive. Some had been the instruments of carry ing into effect unconstitutional laws pro strating the liberty of the press, and per secuting the innocent tor an honelt diffe rence in political opinion. Some, from the long enjoyment of of free, had acquired great wealth, and no longer djfchatging the duties of office thcmfelves, committed the public interests to the management of clerks. When these circumstances are ferioudy weighed, and when it is further consider ed, that in the remote and extended a •gencies of the government, improper ap point men ts rr.uft feme times tqk£ place, which time alone can expose ; and which would induce the fame administration that conferred, to revoke a commission ; when it is considered, that in the multifarious temptations to which men are fubjeft, a man apparently good to day may be guil ty of milconduft to-morrow ; can we be surprised that in the courte of more than a year 33 officers, or if federalifm will have it so, 54 officers, out of 2,044 have been removed —that is one fortieth part ? Will not our correft afton|fhment be that the removals have been so few ? Let calumny be silent, when th:s im preffivc contrail is exhibited : The old adminidration had without provocation, entitled under its banner all the officers, amounting to 2,044. The present administration has changed only 33. Brit'tjh Parliament. A converfatiou of considerable impor tance took place in the Bricifh Houle of Commons on the night of the 3d of May. Mr. Windham dated his rcafons forgiv ing notice of a motion refpefting the De finitive Treaty, and entered into a de tail of the objections which had been thrown out at different times in both houles by gentlemen of his opinion. Mr, Pitt defended the definitive treaty against Mr. Windham’s attack, but reserved the full {latemcnt of his arguments until the promised motion ihould be made. He (aid, however, with refpeft to the appre henfioiis exprefled for the fafety of the British Fall-India dominion, in conse quence of the non-renewal of former trea ties, that not only no member of the Eng lilh Parliament could find any solid ground of objection or uneu finds, bat that no rival could difeover a plausible pretext for cavil on that account. He defended generally the non.renewal of treaties, and contended that the advantage of the o mission was as great or) the part of En gland as France. Mr. Windham’s no tice was of a motion for Tucfday the j Bth of May; but Ms. Addington moved as an amendment, Tuefday the 11 th. The reason he gave for th» was, the necessity of terminating the work of peace (already too long suspended) as speedily as possi ble. In the course of his observations re fpsfting the definitive treaty, remarking on the ccffion of Leuifiana to the French, Mr. Windham said, “By this acquisition the French are eftablilhed in a space as unbounded as the view it opens, whether north or fouth. What a present have we made in it to the Americans ! We have placed a ser pent at their feet, by which they will ultimately be devoured. We have put them in that Hate in which they mull be come willing Haves to France, We all know something of human nature. We know that men detest less the instrument than the caufc, and turn their resentment upon thole whom they can make feel it most, They will not, of courfc, hesitate between us and the French ; and thus we lhall eventually forfeit the friendlhip of America by the aggrandizement of the French in that quar\r. As to the wealth which this ellablilhmcnt opens to them, it has no limits but their will. On the continent of South America there is no 1 power that can refill them. There are the refonrccs of the wealth of the world. But if Gentlemen do not feel the confc quenpes of their palling into the hands of the French, it would be in vain for me to impress them with aa idea of their impor tance.” To this part of Mr. Windham’s speech the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Addington, replied : “In the climax of reasons that the Hon. Gentleman had gone through, he laid considerable stress on the dangers which menaced the independence of the American States from the French having a settlement in Louisiana, Undoubtedly every accession to the French power in that part of the world, and every thing that threatened the independence of the United States, was ground of serious ap prehenfton : but was it only from Loui siana that France could make the attack, if Ihe had such power and was so disposed ? Did the Hon. Gentleman pretend to fay, that if a large military force was sent to Guiana, it may not from thence be made to aft with altogether as much effeft I Did he mean to fay that the attempt might not be made from St. Domingo, if that island was brought under proper luh jeftion, and made the depot of an arma ment intended for that purpofc ; if finally, the countries themselves were not difpof. ed to assert their own independence, and Grcat-Britain was inclined to look tame- ' ly on. It was not therefore from Louisi ana alone that the power-of France was J to fee dreaded, bat from many other quar ters equally."
