Mr. White arrived here on the 15th from Mobile.” WASHINGTON-CITY, April 24. On Monday was launched at the Navy Yard Washington, in the presence of a great number of ladies and gentlemen, the United States’ brig JFASP, pierced for sixteen 421 b. carronades, ano two long 18 pounders. This beautiful veflel glided majestically from the stocks, & was received on the bosom of the Potomac, amidst the acclamations ofihenumerousfpectators who were highly gratified by the pieafiug exhibition.

THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1806. WE republish from the Washington Monitor, an extract of a letter from Mr. Spal ding one of our Representatives in Congress, which though it contains nothing very now, tends to confirm the disgraceful, the double faced conduct of the administration and its friends. With the political sentiments of Mr. Spalding we do not pretend to be acquainted, but we venture to say that his conduct in the secret sittings so far as we are made acquinted with it, will be appropriated by Isis constitu ents. The people of Georgia, are not yet lost to all sense of national dignity, nor do we believe many among them could be found who would be willing to make a formal sur render of the independence of their country : and though they are under the necessity of seeing artd knowing, that their government has become tributary to France, yet they are not so senile as to approbate those measures which have produced so humiliating a situa tion. \\ hat would have been the feelings of the American people, what would have been the sensations universally exited, if during the administration of the immortal Washington, a member of Congress had acknowledged, that he voted in a particular way in causer]unite of a threat from a foreign power ? what would fii.ve been the astonishment, the unqualified indignation of our citizens, if a secretary of state in those days of American greatness and glory, had asserted to a representative of the n. tion. that “ France wanted money, and that we must pay it ?” are the sensations produced in the public mind by the application of Talley rand to the American ministers in Paris for money already forgotten ?—At that period the national pulse beat high, and the spirit of honourable independence pervaded all parts »f the political body — millions, for a just de fence of our rights, rather than a cent in sla vish tribute, was then a general sentiment. How soon, how shamefully is the language of the government changed—now the idea seems to be, millions, upon millions for tribute . rather than a cent for defence. Applications for money are not now made at second hand, oi- through diplomats agents in foreign coun tries, but encouraged by the imbecility of the administration, the disgraceful demands are brought home to the very doors of the execu tive—the secretary of state of tee United States, is made use of to communicate the re ts aid tion to an American representative, and to inform him in the imperious language of a master that we must pay money, because France leant* it. —Vv hat would have been thought,what would have been said, had a Pickering or a l V- oicot in the days of American prosperity expressed the sentiment which Mr. Madi son expressed to Mr. Randolph, what indeed " ould have been the feelings of the house of Representatives, had Mr. Randolph who was once a favourite leader with 'be majority •mornied them, that England wanted monev. and that we must pay it, and that if we did not see would make us feel her vengeance. Is there a single member who on such an observation, would have restrained nis indig nation witnin any moderate bounds, and yet is there one who can inform us, why it would not be as rational, as honourable, and as po litic to be tributary to England as to 1 ranee ? —'A by not send sixty waggon loads of dol lars to London as well as to Paris ? Rut strange and unaccountable as this proceeding has been, the friends and advocates of it affec ted a desire to make a show of spirit and dignity, at the very moment when they were sealing their own degradation, and infamy— and not satisfied with disgracing the country by voting two miiiitai, to France, tney en- j deavoured to ruin it, by an unnecessary war • with England, and in this way connecting our country with the contending powers of Europe, they laboured to throw the weight of the American nation, into that scale whose preponderance would raise and overturn the liberties of the world. Mr. Randolph op posed this strange infatuation, with spirit and energy—His second speech on Mr. Gregg’s resolution is commenced in our paper of to-day, it will be found well worthy of perusal—for though w e think, and are well satisfied that Mr. Randolph is erroneous in some particulars, yet his remarks on the subject of French and British policy, are no doubt unexceptionable. ihe President of the United States has nom inated. and the Senate unanimously advised and consented thereto, JAMES MONROE, j now Minister Plenipotentiary of the United j States at the court of London, and WILLIAM PINCKNEY, of Maryland, to be Commis sioners Plenipotentiary and Extraordinary for settling all matters of difference between, the L ailed States, and the united kingdoms of Great-Britain and Ireland relative to wrongs committed between the parties on the high seas or other waters, and for establishing the principles of navigation and commerce between them. John Kandolfih-. It reported, (says the Trenton federalist) that this gentleman lately waited on president Jefferson, and enquired very particularly respecting the expected re turn of Mi-. Monroe, our Ambassador to Great- Britain Upon which Mr. Jefferson asked Air. Randolph why that circumstance inter ested him so much. Air. Randolph an swered that he wished Air. Monroe to be held UP f° r presidency at the next election. 7he president replied that he had supposed the \ irginians would support Air. Madison for that office. Air. Randolph hastily rejoined, “ 1 know not how that may be, but for my part, I want no more of y our philosopher presidents.’’ Air. Alonroe, minister of the United States to the English government has transmitted, at the request of the envoy of the king of Prusia, resident in London, and by order of the king, a gold medal, to Doctor Rush, Philadelphia', as an acknowledgment of the high sense enter tained of his medical writings. The medal contains on the one side, a likeness of the King of Prussia, and on the other, an appropriate device Ame. 1). Adv. Summary of Congressional labours. T his day closed a session of Congress, from the proceedings of which every American of real patriotism, and independent mind, must turn for ages to come, w ith scorn and indigna tion* t he national sovereignty, which had been achieved by the best blood of our country, has been surrendered : the policy of the Jefferson faction having plated the U. States precisely in the situation of Spain, Holland, Switzerlai f and the other dependencies of France—if there is an individual who doubts the truth of this assertion let him consult the law, which an nulled our commerce with Domingo, and the demand, on which that law was enacted; let him refer to the still more disgraceful tribute of two millions of dollars, which, under the deceptive title of increased expence of foreign intercourse , has been granted to the Great Na tion ; let him look at the prostrate condition of our country in her external, and the defence less and distracted state of her internal rela tions ; let him peruse with attention the de bates of Congress, and the declarations of Mr. Jefferson’s quondam friends, during the present session ; and lx: must cease to doubt that we have been precipitated from the proud emi nence of honor and independence, on which the courage, wisdom and virtue of the im mortal Washington had placed the American Commonwealth, into the deepest mire of in famy and subjugation — .V. Y. Spec. Extract of a letter from Thomas Studding, Esq. Member of Congress, to a gentleman in Wtikes county, dated Ist April, 1800. _ “ Yesterday, after a very long and very violent debate, a motion was carried for taking off the injunction of secrecy, under which Congress has been during the greater part of this session, I can therefore state to you what was done during that period in a few Words leaving you to be more fully in for, ted of ever ! thing that did take place, by the newspapers, in due season. “On the 6th of December, the President transmitted to Congress a confidential message, on the subject of .Spanish affairs, r.ot altoge ther in the tone of his public message, and in deed, as his particular friends say, “ capable of a two-fold construction.” This message was accompanied by documents, that elucidated in part, the plan that was desired, which is in substance this :—When Mr. Monroe and Pinkney were in Spain, treating on the sub ject of boundaries with that country, it was understood ti. t Spain was ready to treat, but that France would not let her. At j Paris, our minister was informed at once, that our pretentions on Spain were unwarrant ed and that in the event of their being produc tive of a war between our government and that, that France would not hesitate, but immediately take part with Spain. But it was understood also, that our government might, by a certain sum of money, purchase the i lorida** from Spain, and so extinguish the dispute. 1 his suggestion you will observe, did not come from Madrid or the Spaniards, but from Paris and the French. The secretary of state (Air. Madison) declared to Mr. Ran dolph, that France wanted money from us, and that France must have it. 4^ “ I hus situated, the committee to whom the President’s secret message was referred, taking into consideration the aggressions of ! Spain, both in our territory, as well as upon the ocean. recommended an increase of our (.-military force, for the protection of our south ern and western frontier ; as will appear, -s sixm as their report is published. This propo sition was rejected, and another brought in, by men who pretended to be peculiarly in the confidence of the President, for voting two millions of dollars to be advanced in part pur chase oi the Floridas, as was pretended, but as many Cl us rather believed to purchase a con tinuation of peace from France and Sapin. Mr. Randolph and his friends took, lire at this indignity offered to the holior, and even independence of their country. They believed and still believe, that the French do, a. d win consider us, as their tributary state ; that when* ever they are disposed to exact from us a sum of money they will give Spain the nod, who will violate our boundaries and bully us, and we , j be compelled to purchase tlie inierierence | of France. “ 1 Inis, while we basely crouched to France and Spain, the government appeared disposed to take lofty ground w ith F.ngland, for very minor objects ; which in due season we shall be able to prove. Against this 1 was one dho voted, as the secret journal will shew ; and I will wait with confidence the decision of my fel low-citizens on this important subject.” A very »larm;ng mortality [.revails in Mcdlield among the children.
