direct the current of opinion, ns t 6 communicate t to the complex machinery of government—ac cession oi fo-'ce. The committee kept in view the alarming state of affairs; and their con sultations were incessantly employed to pro mote the public, good by endeuvoiing to sepa rate from it, the evils that are often bfenuicl with it. They were taught by the pages of American h story, how much the magic enthusiasm of public sentiment ought to be appreciated.— A sentiment to which the magisterial arm is in debted for the far greater portion of it strength. They were sensible that if this divine, and all powerful impetus could be confined to is ap pt op iate orbit, that it would diffuse around, ! like the sun, the centre of your system, health, vigor and splendor. A constant effort was therefore excited, to prevent chisnis and colli sions, from destroying the harmony of the poli tical sphere. Your committee-have endeavor ed by vigilance and attention to ev ry subject embraced by your resolutions, to realize your expect itions. Then zeal and ardor were ne ver remitted N > duty, however hazardous or ditficult to perform, arrested the steady move ment of the hand that was entrusted with the i executive power. That they had erred, they are not so presumptuous as to deny. It is not Uie fortunate lot of humanity to boast of exemption from error. To attain perfection is not permitted by the laws of our nature. We are allowed to pro gress towards, but never to reaqh it. 11 they are chargable with deficiency in judgment, suffer them in extenuation to say, that their in tentions were pure and hones . Permit them to declare, that next to the smiies and approba tion of their consciences, they prize and value the esteem and confidence of their fellow-citi zens. The exercise of their functions is no long er required. The government of the United States has decided on the course that is to be pursued. The outrage committed has loused into ac tion its energies. You, fellow-citizens, have anticipated the wise and salutary measures which it has taken ; you have the glory oi per fo rmiug spontaneous acts of patriotism; you need not the promptings of authority; the res cue of government to remind you of the re lation, in which you stand to the republic; your ! acts arc proved by the executive magistrate of the United States ; they have this sanction. Your Committee express a lively satisfaction in the great respect rendered to your authori ty. Few are the instances in which it has been questioned, because its foundation w..s not systematically laid in the constitutions and- , laws of the land. You have the merit by wise precaution, and the temper and firmness disco - nable in all your proceedings, of secutiug to this portion of your country —unanimity. We now, fellow-citizens, re-deliver to you the powers entrusted to us, to promote the public good. We flatter ourselves that thev flow back, unpolluted, to the source from which they emanated. We exhort you to feed, to keep alive the vestal file—we ex how you, never to forget, that in unity there is strength, and that the best safe-guard is preparation and sleepless vi gilence. We salute you with friendship, and pray God to bestow on you countless blessings. Thomas Mathews S Moses Myers Thomas Blanchard y J. VV.

WEEKLY ANALYSIS OF INTELLIGENCE The progress made in the arrangement of the new administration, enables us to judge with tolerable accuracy, of the talents of which it will be composed. The rumors of the past week have also thrown a conside-able degree of light on the causes of the expulsion ol the late ministry. We lament that ir has fallen ,o our lot to record these causes ; lot we had hopes that whatever venal and dishonorable practices had disgraced foreign piinces w had hopes that the royal blood of Britain had 1 escaped the pollution, and that integrity and honor were not unknown amongst our princes We have been deceived —wr have now reason to join in the general malediction, “ cursed is he that puttelh his trust in firinces.” It i3 stated that the actual cause of the remo val of the ministry, was the rapid progress of the commission appointed by them to investi gate the abuses in the military department of this country. In the regular course of its pro cedure, it was on the point of extending its in vestigation to a certain high and mighty de partment, when it was found absolutely neces sary to check their progress, lest they should bring to light abuses and peculations which would raise the blush of shame even in the cheek of royality itself. To prevent this dis covery, it was resolved to remove the then ad ministration, and the Catholic question affor ded a specious pretext for this measure. T he blood of every Englishman must boil within him, when he reflects on this nefarious ii le of conduct. If the embezzlement of bis master’s property, by a servant, be punisheu with a marked severity, how much greater ig nominy ought he lobe loaded with who, while in a public situation, and receiving the mox munificent remuneration for bis services squanders the motley entrusted to his honot in private gratification and illicit pleasures Such is the fact, and if means are not a lop ted to check the progress of investigation, an prevent open detection and oublic punish men ii become* the imperious duty of every public jmirr.dvst to h Id up the dtduiqusnt, however exalted, to public indignation ; to designate the crimes which are attempted to be lniqui tously shielded from inquiring justice : and to deprecate that Sordid meanness, not to say vice’ which would have heid up an individual ol meaner birth to public-and private execra tion and contempt. We cannot but lament that the honest ca-1 re ci’ of so independent an enquiry h: s thus been impeded—for with veneration to our con stitution be it .spoken, the people would have learned that such delinquency would fia.c em phatically called upon tde insulted jurispru dence ol the country, to avenge in the most signal manner so atrocious a violation of the unsuspicious confidence too willingly reposed in the as yet hitherto unprostituted name of a British prince. London, May 21. Lord Howick made a long and excellent speech at the nomination for the county of Northumberland, at Morpeth, on Thursday last, of which the following is an extract:—“ Gen teiemen,” said his lordship, “ the late adminis tration have been accused of inattention to the i shipping interest of the country, (I wish now! to he understood as addressing myself more I paricularly to the freeholders of from New castle and Shields,) I sliouid be very happy, if any gentleman would conic forward, and state in what manner the shipping interest has been 1 neglected. I believe the American inieicour.se j bill hits given rise to complaints. Now it must < be sufficiently known, that our Wesi-India Isl ands, are in a great measure dependent on A- . merica, for the articles of lumber and provisions. ] * hat previously to the passing of this bill, the I ; governors of the islands, on their own responsi . lity, constantly kept up an intercourse vvilii A i nierica, to obtain such supplies as were neces ; sary ; and,in return, permitted the Americans to i purchase and take away articles produced in t lie islands. Bids of indemnity, to the governois ] ; on account of this illicit, but Accessary traffic, were erey year apply ed for and passed in Pat liament. 1 submit, then, was it not better to legalize at once us intercourse wan America, j and vest a general power in tiie privy council • . for its regulation, than trust to to the discretion j ! the Wcst-India governors individually lot pro- I j curing suci: supplies as the islands might be m | want of? Great comp,aims have been excited ] against us on account oi the treaty we lately ne ! gotiated with America, although it would surely Le ume enough to complain when the terms > ol the treaty came beloie tiie public. The A ntericans have not, however, thought that the advantages were entirely in their favor, for it is probable the treaty will nor be ratified by then gov eminent. Gentlemen, the great and unfortunate chan ges which have been effected in the north of Euiope, cannot but have operated severely up on your interests, and it has been impossible to afford you any adequate relief. Restrictions were imposed upon neutrals, which produced the strongest remonstrance for the govern ments ot their respective countries. One of my late acts, while in office, was to write a long letter to Denmark, in vindication of our rueus -3 ures * n respect to neutrals, and I wish to tied I counld lay that letter before you to convince you bow utterly unfounded have been your complaints that his majesty’s late ministers were inimical to tne shipping interests of tiie empire.” SALT. .

Although I like you; pieces extremely well, I should advise you to let them alone, and for these reasons you may write the former into notice, who, if let alone, would, perhaps, remain forever in ob livion ; and the latter being a man of little oilier powers than the mere declamatory, not stickling at an untruth, you do yourselves no credit by taking notice of him.” \Y e stiaii adhere to the tub ice of our friend with respect to Hobby—our conduct towards the Advocate n.en, will, ,11 future, depend on their own behaviour. * John Larmont and Company's Advocate.

The Advocate shad hr unceasingly devoted to the defence and preservation ‘f the greet firii. - pies which promote British tyranny, usurpation, robbery and murder, as exercised by the ffi era and slaves of the editor’s most 1 oble master George the third; and as practised on the peaceable and unoffending citizens of the Uni ted States of America, tn a word, the unceas ing study of the editor will be to expose and condemn any and every thing that wears the least resemblance of reason, justice, republi canism or independence. In exhibiting this prospectus to the public, the editor an iciputes the prompt and liberal sup port ofull those, who •with him, sincerely venerate the great men ~nd mea ures in the service of the British cabinet—especially when he d< clares, that burning his majesty’s officers, in effigy, is one among the many “ abominable doctrines,” he is determined to “ expose” and condemn. But it may be asked by some, why such in consistency is shewn 111 the title—to this sim ple class ol beings, he answers the word Bi iir u is one to which his very soul is devoted, and the word Republican is inserted in order i<> gull the ignorant and uninformed. In offering himself a candidate for public favor, the editor deems it neccsvary to gi - e them an idea of whom and what he is :—He is, then a loyal subject of his least high, most ea - cr/fent and most gracious majesty, (leorge the th ; and king ofdrea -Uritain, defender of ih fii h, Ctc c3Y.
