It seems extraordinary that any
num, one half to be paid in ad- person should deny that Bonaparte
has been the first to condemn his
commercial restrictions, and to con
fess that they have utterly failed in
producing the effect he intended.—

India produce. It was supposed that
the 2d article of the decree, ordering
confiscation, if the declarations con
cerning the species or qualities of
goods were false, meant confiscation
if it should be found that the goods
were British. The decree, as we
observed on Saturday, might in that
case as well not have been issued, for
the most of the goods allowed to be
imported are British. But the mean
ing of the second article of the de
cree is, that goods are to be confisca
ted if false declarations he given ol
their species or qualities ; for in
stance, if Levant Cottons, which are
to pay a higher duty, be attempted
to be imported as Brazil cotton ; or
if hyson or green teas, which are to
pay a tax of nine or six hundred
francs be attempted to be introduced
under the names of common teas,
which are to pay only 1 SO francs.

Salem, September 15.
The public attention is now direc
ted to the affairs of Portugal. The
French have marched large armies
into Spain. The armies destined a-
gainst Portugal have reached that
country. A siege has been laid a
gainst the fortress on the frontiers,
which was the most formidable. It
has been surrendered. The French
and English have interest in the pre
possessions of mankind, and they
have employed them. The first
have refuted every charge against
themselves by their military glory.
It is not easy to trace every move
ment of such vast armies, or to no
tice the arrangements which display
the wisdom of every moment. The
great event has been the display of such men
the military ardor of French troops, From Washington we learn that
and the pride of their conquests. It the late British minister has been re-

Read your history. Search your an
nals. Two vices have always been
fatal to great cities ; their avarice
and their indolence. The Gauls
victorious, are industrious ; despis
ing wealth, they prefer glory. Not
inferior to you in any thing else, they
have not sloth or avarice. I remem
ber when young, that as they pas
sed, two great men of Friczland were
shewn to me. Both were noble, both
eloquent,both eminent, bodi virtuous,
and both in high offices of state. It
was known that they were warmly
opposed in their judgement respecting
public measures. Why did not this
discord ruin Friezland ? Because it
was the struggle of their virtue.
When in the public councils, like the
ancient Romans, as soon as they en
tered, they laid aside their prejudi
ces as they did their cloaks, and clo
thed only with the love of the public
happiness they united with their bre

of the greatest scholars of which
Europe could boast. Holland no
longer impresses her coin with the
wallet. The arms of France are on
one face, but the emblems of liberty
are not on the other.
Some memorable events in Europe
are not such as are favorable to the
hopes of free enquiry upon political
subjects, whatever promises are made
to scivncc. The decree of the French
emperor respecting the press, is a
melancholy event. The necessity of
pursuing the press for the freedom
which it indulges, as in the case of
Cobbett in England, upon the best
plea is an alarm ; and the confine
ment of a Jew at Berlin, for his writ
ings may lead to some painful anti
cipations. It is distressing to be

at Haverhill, one at Charlestown, and
another, at Boston, besides those at
the mouth of the Merrimac. The

The systems of pillage which the

130,000, of whom one quarter part

west from Adrianopoles, and about
as far distant from it as this last city is
