THE J.OIIBNAiA « IVEDNESDAT, July 13. NATIONAL SAFETY. At this eventful epoch in the his tory of mankind,, it is the dutv ofe- very citizen in this grand republic to consult its safety and prosperity—to animate each other in opposition to the dangers with which it is threat ened ; and guard against those rocks, upon which so many nations have been lost. Th John documents received by the Adams are now before the public ■onauct is pure and unadulterated • >11 v. Is the nation unaware, that then > an extraordinary clamor among md rapid change in the senti- nerits ot the people ? Those who ormerly disliked union, are now quite furious against it; those who doubted, doubt no more ; those who were friendly to it, have exchanged that friendship, for the most rooted aversion. Without Union, it is as absurd to countrymen, have I enjoyed the in estimable blessings, re. ulting iron wise anH wholesome laws, judicious 'y administered. Hut we are again inproximating to that period, when )ur great constitutional rights are to be delegated anew, and ourselves to become subject to the operation of those laws, which our agents in their wisdom and virtue may enact—The subject therefore, plainly bespeaks its own importance, and surely no apo logy is necessary for arraigning at suppose our condition will be better-the bar of public investigation, the ed, as that Butterflies can teach Beesjrespective claims of those, who un- how to make honey. It is ideal to der the specio over that all tax Collectors, and ri •overs, with a horde of Justices o ! e Peace and their ministerial off. •ers, arc the regular oft’spring of the overgrown power..'..a general supe? intendcncc of bridges and highways together with the direction of or phans and the management of th estate of deceased persons, are addi tional items, in this already swollei and overwhelming catalogue of ju dicial power....

Yes, fcl ing the smallest contention into a flame. In the name of Heaven, what are must necessarily be drawn. They place the situation of this coun try, with regard to England and • France, in language not to lie mista ken. To recapitulate the injuries we have received from these nations would be a libel on the feelings of th- American people. Every citiz n must b? exquisit lv alive to ; L wrongs of his much injured counts c. If there is one, who is cot insensible of our grievances, let him revert for a moment to the sad spectacle which the Chesapeake frigate affords. L-i him behold it attacked by a vessel ol immense strength and size.—dis mantled, and torn to pieces ; and the . . .... , , blood of P ( ' r ly spirit; this is the cruel and there are French StBritish partizans confidence—Invidious and dishonor-low citizens, whilst sitting in nltgis- amongus, who stalk from one end oflable as the practice is, of impugning 1 lathe capacity did they create unto '.he continent to the other, with a the vices of men in private life, yet'themselves a compensation for judi torch of discord in their hands, light- motives of delicacy should cease, 'cial services,'in direct violation of the il an individual, wrapt in the t vhite^ spirit of our constitution, amTunpre robe of the candidate, possessed vi-Icedented it is believed in any of our Carraccas ces necessarily connected with the sister states....If they can whilst act- . . .ii this manner, by faction ? rights and liberties of a people are •? are not alert, discord willspread|not to be preserved by smiles and wild-fire, and blaze over cv opposition ; and >hould this be case, there is no use in mim ing the muter; America is gone, and the death-blow to liberty, str irk.

We have remons. against such treatment: but oui re monstrances are disregnr 1 -d. We have acted with a most religious ad herence to justice, an 1 have been re paid with perfidy. So unparalleled has been the injustice of England & France towards he United States, that, heretofore, many of our politici- irt-rending price of I iervati: n.

We ought to have the sense to of delicacy; and in a government con stituted like ours, the freedom of e- lection joined to a dignified ani madversion upon public men and public measures, arc its aliment Sc its food...Undcr a conviction of the truth of this sentiment, I shall proceed to examine the comparative pretensions ot certain characters, known as can didates for the Senate, in the county of Baldwin—In this examination I disclaim “ envy, hatred, malice, and all unchuritableness,” and if in its progress an expression of harehnes or severity ol a personal nature should escape me, I trust that it will s, oncTof fottfgn affairs, atid f war and navy.

We must ’ere long awake from our disgraceful drunkeness, to all the nuary next. It is stated, that several towns m Massachusetts have appointed com mittees to superintend a general ino culation for Kine-Pock therein.

Fellow-Citizens, On the eve of an important and in- t -resting election, pelroit a olain ci- zen, (one of yours ives) in the lan and modern governments had taught the enlightened statesmen of Ame rica, that whenever there was not a perfect equipoise or balance of pow er in the three departments of go vernment, there could be no solid security for freedom ; and in our practical adherence to this sound principle did they anticipate “ long ages to come” of prosperity 8c hap piness to our republic....I ask of tnv Fellow-Citizens, whether Mr. Ow ens as a Judge of the Inferior court, does not compose a material compo nent and necessary part of the judi ciary of our country ? Whether he is notin the habit of exercising high judicial functions ? At this day is it a secret that the powers of the Infe rior court are multifarious, extern- ive, undefined, and almost vnde finable ? Nay, co-ordinate and co •xtensive with those of the Superi or courts, in every description of ca ses, excepting those “ respecting ti tits to land,” criminal prosecutions, and cases in equity....

Captain Tarris, of the ship Lon don Trader, arrived here yesterday from Cadiz in 45 days, states, that the French had made no further pro gress after the reduction of Fort Matagorda on the main; that the Spanish and Portuguese force on the island amounted to 32,000 regulars —and (he British troops were 9,000 strong and a reinforcement of 8000 was daily expected. The garison and the inhabitants, none of whom had left Cadiz since our last accounts, were amply supplied- Many young men, whom the French had doomed to their con scription list, had reached Cadiz—- and no apprehension was entertained for its safety. Admiral Purvis had gone to Eng land ; and was succeeded by Admi ral Pickmore. Accounts from the interior stated that the Spaniards continued a suc cessful patizan war against their in vaders. A gentleman, passenger in the John Adams- informs, that a Brisk trade was carried on between Ha vre de Grace, France, and England, under the licensing system. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Christianna, (Norway) to hit friend in this city, dated. > “ Christiannh % \Uh April, 1810. “ I beg of you to advise you# friends in Philadelphia, that the Da nish privateer law is just renewed, and innumerable cruizers of all si tes are now fitting out in Norway for fresh depredations. The present political relations between France and the United States appear to increase the difficulties of safe navi gation this way.” (fj a By r the last Night’s Mail, we received no news which has not been previously anticipated : Such, however, as the papers afford, will be found below. NORFOLK, June 29. It is said that Capt. Porter of th United States’ Navy, stationed at New-Orieans, has committed him self by seizing the French national vessel La Franchise, and that Gen. Turreau, having represented the cir cumstance to the Executive, produ ced her immediate release. The French Consul at New-Orlcans re fused to receive her ; and it is said, that Turreau, considering the ac uf Captain Porter, similar to the af- iair ol the Chesapeake, has demand ed his recall! The hauteur of Tur- reau deprives him of the use of rea son. Captain Porter seized the ves sel not knowing her to be a national one; and when convinced of the fact immediately made restitution. The attack on the Chesapeake was preme ditated ; the nationality of the flag was known ; yet our seamen were forced away, and to this day no res titution has been made. Philadelphia, June 29. ' Yesterday arrived at the Lazaret to, the schooner Three Friends, capt. Schoyen, 18 days from Lagui- ra.
