I. n#rve and ft retched every fibre, to pre ■enMhe revcrfal of an aft which secured ml his faiher-in-law a sinecure salary of lo thousand dollars a year. While the Bed of Mr. Bayard to serve his father. Bi.law at the expencc of his country e ■ jnecs a strong filial attachment, it plain ly-exhibits his want of common hone ft y ■nd patriotism. The inconvenience a few Individuals may feel for a time from the ■ofs of lucrative situations, can bear no ■aft competition with the benefit the peo ple will derive from the abolition of an ■ifelefs and expensive appendage to our ju- Eiciary system, and from the eftablilhment ■of a principle which will preserve our ■country from a perpetual judicial defpo- Itifm. The protest of Mr. Baflett, and of his Icolleagues, will avail nothing. Public ■opinion loudly demanded the repeal of the ■extra judiciary law. This opinion was ■ not to be disregarded or disobeyed. The I representatives of the people assembled in (congress, after mature deliberation and I copious difeuffion, agreed that the mea sure was both constitutional and expedi ent, and, in conformity with public sen timent, repealed the obnoxious law.— Their conduft met, as it merited, theap. plaufe of a large portion of the American people. And fttall a few weak men, sti mulated by revenge for having been de prived of an honorable and lucrative feat where they had no duty, or next to none, to perform, hope to change the national featiment, reverse the laws of the union, restore the bench, and regain the feats which they before occupied ? Such a hope would be as vain as the head that conceiv ed it mail be empty. Persecution !—Horrible Persecution ! From the cry of persecution which has been raised by the Feds, on account of the difmiflals which have taken place in the Poft-Office Department, one would suppose not a man of their “feft** was left in pofleffion of an office ! What is the FACT /> There are in the United States one thousand and ninety-five Depoty-Poft- M liters, who are accountable to and re movable by, the Post-Master-General. Thcfe, when the present Administration came into office, were almost to a man Federal. Os these 1095 deputy-post-ma sters, but FORTY-FIVE have been dis missed! And a large majority of this small number were difmifled formal-con» dust, and other Efficient reasons, inde pendent of political fentirnents. It has been said by the Republicans, that no virtuous Administration could be battered down by Paper-Jhot. —The Feds, are determined to make the experiment, and have accordingly commenced and kept up a constant fire upon the present Ad ministration, from their whole park of Artillery t direfted by Major-General Hamilton . No breach , however, is yet difeoverabie; and we venture to predict that t&ir ammunition will be expended, their ranks thinned by defirtion , and they finally obliged to relinqui/h the attack . PHILADELPHIA, Augufi 26. Extrali of a lette? from iVaJhington y dated Augufi 2 r. “The New-York will be ready for sea on Saturday next. The John Adams will probably be immediately put in com mission; ft>e can be equipped in two weeks. The Constitution, at Boston, is completfly prepared, I am told, for im mediate service, and I understand the Philadelphia will be also in the course of a few days. The President could be put to fca, it is said, in ten days from hence, if thought neceflary.’* Augufi 30. ACCIDENTS. A storm of thunder, lightning, hail, and rain, more than commonly violent, took place on Saturday night; a house in Frankford was struck by lightning on Sunday noon, without effefting any other injury than stunning a female, a man in an adjoining house was also severely stun ned, but without any further inconveni- . cnee. It appears that as the driver ol the mail stage was defeending a hill, between . Princctown and Trenton ; in the dead of night, a flalh of lightning struck the hind wheels, glanced from thence to the fore ones, thence along the tongue of the wag. gon to the breast-chains, and at one stroke, and the fame moment, killed all four horses and stunned the driver, who Remained speechless for some time, but did not effeft two gentlemen who were in the carriage.

Dispatches, we underlland, have hern received by government from Mr. SIMP. SON, ourConful to Morocco, dated July 16th at Gibraltar, which place, as falfely rumoured, he had not left. The reports refpefting Capt. M‘Neil’s engagement with the Tunilians does not appear to have been confirmed by subsequent ir.fer mation, which, in case of such action, ought to have been received by Mr, Simpson. The Enterprize, Capt, Sterret, had arrived at Gibraltar on the 2d ot Ju ly from the squadron cruising off Tripoli. The letters of Capt. Sterret are alfofilent as to M‘Neil’s engagement, or his own, as reported; which, with refpeft to the latter, amounts todifproof. The warlike operations of Morocco, from the latest authentic accounts, were not very aftive. The new frigates late ly built, the one of 36, and the other of 22 guns, were equipping slowly at Sake on the Atlantic—the old frigate lay at La Rash in the sand —two gallies w’ere fitting out at Tetuan with considerable spirit.

We are authorifed to fay, that Mr. John Page declines accepting the appoint ment of colledor of the port of Peterlburg. HALIFAX, Sept. 6. From the Norfolk Herald. It was reported on the 30th ult, at St. John's (Antigua) “ that a transport, homeward bound, with the Buffs on board, confiding of about 600 men, had foun dcred on the Anagado Rocks, near Tor tola, and that not more than 100 had been saved." Capt. Harris, arrived at Bodon from Lisbon, failed in company with two Por tuguese frigates, bound to the Mediterra nean. The Portuguefc are greatly pro. voked at the loss of the frigate taken by the Algerines, and have iflued frefh or ders to their naval commanders, to use the utmod aftivity in their operations a gaind those pirates. CHARLESTON, September 6. By a datement of interments in this City given by the City Marlhal, it ap pears, that the deaths during the month of Augud lad, amounted to 57, viz. 27 whites 30 blacks —two of the former di ed of the yellow fever, the only cases of that disorder in that month. The num ber of interments during the fame month in 1 800, was 165, viz. lit whites, 54 blacks—there were in this month fifty five interments from the yellow fever. In 1801, the deaths in the fame montha mounted to 181, viz. 129 whites, 52 blacks ; eighty.five of whom died of the yellow-fever . By the above datement it will be found that the mortality in the month of Au gud, this year, has been considerably less than it was during the fame month in the two preceding years. September 10.
