in svliicti th ae!u pcpti'i est supreme the
ronsiituiion and Lws to the contrary notwith
standing.
C. ses somewhat analogous,orcven of gr;at
c~ strength, mnybr imagined. The executive
su£Ntrate, for instance, if there were not un
appropriated millions enough in the treasury,
would not hesitate on his own responsibility to
borrow them ; cr if that could not be done, to
oivert from the purposes to which they vere
applied by Utw, sufficient sums to meet the.
emergency : ami in case all these resources
failed, to seize by violence, the property ot in
dividuals ; for which lie could not fail to re
ceive the thanks of his country.
There ‘an be no doubt, thi t, that rases may
occur, in which Mokv.icns of the constitution
suidlaws wiil not only be venal, hut in which
it will be the duty of the executive to commit
them. Arduous as the performance of such
duties rnav be, it is the duty of an executive,
duly sensible of the high functions attached te
bis station, icariessh to discharge them. N't ell
aware that constitutions and laws, however de
liberately frtmu-d, can never be so perfect as
to provide for all possible emergencies, he vill
not hesitate, if the troed of his country is ,is
supreme motive, to discharge such duties,
however perilous it mav he to him. the pa
triot, who in erchm ry and tranquil times, would
not, for any consideration under heaven, step
beyond the orbit of power assigned him, will
be” the foremost, and the most resolute to take
upon himself every responsibility that, in pe
riods of danger, his station requires. He will
not for a moment believe in the possible injus
tice of his country; but even if he should doubt
on this score, he will obey the dictates of his
conscience at any risque.
How far do these principles apply to the re
cent transaction at Orleans l This enquiry is
reserved for our next paper.

From the Xeiv-York Commercial Advertiser.
The information which was given by the Pre
sident to a.committee of the senate, relative to
the British Treaty, having been incorrectly stat
ed, I deem it niv duty to lay before the public,
th rough.the medium of your paper, a faithful
account of what took place, and which is de
rived from a source of unquestionable authority.
At 11 o’clock, on Tuesday night the 3d inst.
tbs senate- sent two ol its members, Dr. nlitch
iil and Hr. Adams, with a committee on the
part of the house of in pi, scutate, es, to enquire
of the president whether he had any iurlhcr
comn unicatjon to lay before them. At this
time no copy of the treaty had been received
by the executive. Mr. F.rskine, the British
minister, had, however, received by the last
British packet, v- copy from Ins government,
•which arrived at Washington on Tuesday, and
had by him been hueded own to the President a
few hours before he had been waited on by the
joint committee.
In answer to the enquiry <;f the joint com
mittee, the President replica that he had r.c
further communications to by before the two
houses ; l,e would inform the gentlemen oi the
committee, however, not ojjiciahy, ix;t for tluir
private satisfaction, that he had seen a copj
of the tieaty —-That it was so exceptionable he
should not by it before the senate—that it con
tained tio stipulation to protect all person* and
properly sailing under the American pan- —and.
that an article was added to the treaty, after it
•Was signed, which declared —tin if the United
States submit led to the blockading c!ect\e,oj iio
v?*tzrte> Great Britain reserved to hciself to
c ■* teract its effects ; by a full exertion of her
belligerent rights, any provision rn tile treaty
notwithstanding. In other conversations, ho
is to have declared that lie should return
the treaty to London immediately for further
negotiation.
fr this conversation, nothing was said res

Should tbe trade to this is! :k? i opened by

case or fotWiy cause whatever, allow a passage

ration.
!>. The laws and ordinances which define
the several rteset the various forms of wor
ship established .n Germany, having been
abolished by the effect of the dissolution of
the ancient Gcruiar.ic body, and moreover
not being compatible with the principle, upon
which the confederation has been formed, the,
exercise cf the calhV.ic worship shall, through
out the whole kingdom of .Saxony, be fully
annihilated to the exercise of the Lutheran
form of worship, and the followers of the two
religions shall, w ithout restriction, enjoy the

LONDON, January IN
A cons dei able insurrection, if that epithet
can l:v properly applied tc an effort to shake
ol’ j rciicht; caiiny, L: s broken out in the Hes-
I star !e- r.t-.ry. The inhabitants of that coun
[ uy> hivento de|j)eration hy the exactions and
I vexatio:.’ to ‘.vlilch they have been subjected
p since the French took possession of it, have
conic to a resolution worthy of more success
than, we iear, v. ill attend their present attempt.
About ten thousand men, consisting principal
ly ol disbanded Soldiers and some peasants, as
sembled lately near Eschcwege, and having
nominated an officer of the regiment of Do
Vt’armb, captain D’Uslar, their commander,
with the rank oi. colonel, proceeded to organ
ize themselves as a regular force. Those
among them who had served as non-commis
sioned officers, were appointed officers ; and
they armed themselves in the best manner
they could, seizing all the arms, swords, ko.
which they could find. A colonel Schmidt,
who had entered into the French service, and
was at Eschcwegc for the purpose of forming
a regiment out of the disbanded Hessian troops,
was seized by the insurgents, and compelled
to swear, on a Hessian standard, that he would
renounce the service of Bonaparte. The in
surrection, it is supposed, was not confined to
the Ilcssian territory, but to have extended it
scif to Saxony and Hanover also.
Both the provinces of Mecklenberg, hither
to fertile and flourishing, are now literally a
wilderness and a desert ! —Not a horse, sheep,
cow, or article of stock of any kind, is to be
seen 1 Not ‘4 grain of seed corn has been put
into the ground !
A gentleman who lately left Rome, declares
that the reduction cf .Naples has cost France
$5,999 men. Vast numbers cf them have pe
rished irom the unwholesome vapcuis of the
C’.dahlias ; more, in fact, than have fallen by
the swords of the Calabrese. In Naples, scatcc
a night passes without several Frenchmen be
ing murdered.
King Joseph has not for many months ven
tured to sleep in the city. Ho has fitted up
and fortified the palace of Capo di Monte,
whither he retires every evening.
Lucicn Bonaparte lives in the neighbour
hood ot Rome, in a state of domestic but ele
gant retirement. The large fortune which he
amassed during his embassies to Spain and
Portugal, enables him to do much good in his
neighbourhood, lie employs a great number
oi persons m making various improvements,
which he and his w ife daily inspect. He avoids
all political society, and is very generally res
pected.

Avery heavy frost, we are told, fell on the
Oconee last Friday night. The fruit, No. in
and about that neighborhood, it is thought, will
be much injured by it.
The Times of the 3d instant, states, (hat
Northward Hav was then selling i.u Charleston
at the advanced price of ‘ nr dollars per cm.
The damages bv the kit j freshes have hex n
no where more cr.'ridarable than at the village
of Pawtucket, 1L 1. In the midst of that late
plcasint village, am! in the place where many
indu; trious and thriving men had lx*aa con
stantly employed in the iron manufactories, not
a trace was left ol house or shop. Tim very
earth was gone, and the solid an;’ craggy rock
alone was 1 ft unmoved.—-
We offer now a little farther information
respecting Burr. No federalist will pretend
to smpict IHnhuTun Stoddert, Into scvietary of
the navy, of a. narked sttachrncrit to the politics
of the present executive administration.
Yet we take upon us to assert, and we defy
contradiction or dcwul, that Mi. Sloddurt has
communicated to the executive, in his own
hand writing, a narration of Burr’s scheme,
stated by Mr. Burr personally ,o Mr. Stoddert,
and Which statement corrobowites the affidavit
of general Eaton, in the most serious and san
guinary points. 1 he very number’ of men which
Burr conceived to be competent to the expul
sion ol the prescient and both houses ci con
gress was mentioned by Burr to Mr. Stoddert.

An eminent Surgeon in London, having been
lately sent for, to attend a maniac gentleman,
the latter, as the surgeon was entering the room
discharged a pistol at him, loaded with a brace
of bullets, which lodged in the door. Upon the

man ran down stairs, plunged into a horse-pond
and was perfectly restored to his reason by the
cold bath.
