INVASION EXPECTED 1 ! Some people labor to direct our attention from the recent aggressions and present appa rent disposition of Britain, to distant and ima ginary dangers. i his is a part of the tory system. One paper has told us, what no one ever heard before, that the Du< ch are impres sing our seamen &c. !—and in a federal paper of yesterday it is intimated, that, as the Tuni sian ambassador saw the defenceless state of our country, we have something dreadful to appre hend from Tunis ! ! ! Devoted country 1 were you subject to no evil but the repeated murder of our citizens, you might exist ; but Dutch impressment and a Tunisian invasion must put an end to your independence 1 I— Boston Democrat. The Trenton (n. j.) Federal paper iys that the Dutch take our vessels, impress our stamen, and blockade our ports. We should be glad to knowhow this in for mation has come to the town of Trenton alone and fallen exclusively on the ear of the federal printer there. Among all the marine intelli gence and all the news brought by vessels to | the great sea-port towns, we find no intelli- j gence ot Dutch depredations. The gentleman j should give us the details. Does that fellow think the public a mere ’ compound of folly and dull credulity. We 1 should not be surprised to hear in his next pa- 1 per that the Citerokees have blockaded our ports ! < —ibid. Vermont as she should be.— Notwith- [ standing our remote situation from the scene of 3 the late outrage upon our national sovereignty, * this hardy race of mountaineers are all alive to ‘ the general sensations of indignation and re- , sentment, and will form a solid and powerful ; phalanx against a vulnerable point of poor de- J luded England : we venture to predict, that ‘ not a single soldier of Vermont will wait to be ! drafted into the service now required. Baum’s J mercenary slaves were once taught a solemn ij lesson, which has probably been related to Bn- • tish children, and they may rest assured thfc ‘ lads of these climes will not tarnish the lau rels their fathers gathered on the lulls of Wal- j loomsack. l'he bravery and patriotism of the , united b id} 7 of free men that cluster our mouti- >! tain’s sides are not to be questioned, and the finger of vengeance points with the needle.— Epitome of he World—Bennington. f Miranda.— By a gentleman lately arrived® from 1 rinidad, we are informed, that Miranda ‘ was still at that place, and that he was wailing j for intelligence and assistance from England, g for the purpose of making a further attempt? on the Spanish Maine. Many are of opinion, • that he has a British commission, and acts un- 1 der the orders ol that government No expe- - dition appears to be filling out from Trinidad j for the Maine, at present.—.V. F. paper . FROM AN ENGLISH PAPER. Mr. Lancaster announces for publication by I subscription, at twelve copies for a pound, an 1 abbreviated account of his newly invented me- ‘ thod of instructing the children of the poor, t Perhaps one of the most interesting spectacles ! to he seen at present in or hear London, is the ! Free School of this benevolent man, about 200 j yards from the Obelisk in St. George’s fields. | In this school nearly 1000 poor children are j rapidly taught reading, writing and arithmetic, j by one maste", on a plan of Mr. Lancaster, for t a total expence not exceeding three hundred * pounds per annum. The leading principle of this well regulated and orderly establishment > is, that the senior classes teach the junior, and ■ that emulation through every class is excited ■ by rewards and promotions. The methods of teaching are also much simplified—for exam ple. the children learn to read and write the al phabet at the same time, by forming the letters • in sand, with their fingers, as each letter is suc cessively called by the monitor—they after wards learn to read and write monosyllables in the same manner, and the precision and rapidity with which the smallest children per form these operations is very surprising and highly iute esiihg. Aided by this plan, the ] children of the poor may, without exception,! be initiated in the first rudiments of knowledge; * and we congratulate the country on the prospect oi its speedy adoption by the legislature, on the introduction of Mr. Whitbread. FROM THE NEW.YORK EVENING POST. THE KISS. [A gentleman had filicited a kiss from a lady, who re futed it, but who. writing to him afterwards,Laid, “I feud you a kiss.” The receiver returned these lines ] Yes ! you have sent me, by the poll!

E’en so ! —a kiss receiv’d from thee ; Fruits of this kind no favor own, Except they’re gather’d trom tat tree. ISIDDR. FOR THE EVENING LEDGER, MESSRS. EVERITT & EVANS, Mr. E. in his last, acknowledges that the fed eralists are fond of power, and that they uic anxious to hold again the reins of government, uot on account ot the emoluments ol office (oi loaves and fishes as he terms it) “but because they believe themselves better qualified to ad minister the government than the powers tha be.” A love of power and ambitious views are in separable. They are concomitants; and those who leel the one must possess the other. II the federalists then are so fond of power as Mr. E. represents them, they must be ambi tious, and ambitious men aie unfit to rule ill popular governments, because they have ever been unfavorable to them, and hate, when once m power, to relinquish it if the people are displeased with their conduct. As to the fede ralists “ believing themselves” more, capable of administering the government, it is out ol the question. Men may believe what they please. A majority of the American people are certain that the men now at the head of affairs have more abilities than their predecessors—they have honored them twice us long with their confidence, end discover no inclination what ever to lemove them. 1 he aversion of his party to “loaves and fishes” has been strongly exemplified in the creation ofthe late judiciary system, die standing army and the internal taxation ; so much so, that 1 ■ fear the people will never give them an oppor- * j tunity of removing the impression which has, S been made on their minds in this respect. If j | the federalists were not fond of power lor the , j sake o. office, why were the lust hours of Mr. i Adams’s administration so sedulously employ ;ed (even until midnight) in manufacturing i s Judges, &c.? This tact is too well known to I be doubted, and no better evidence is wanted of the disinterested motives of the federal par ty in wishing to get possession of the govtin s ment again. jj Aitho’ I venerate the character of Washing £ t° n as niuch as any man, I can never think tiie ;! British treaty other than a bad one ; not omy i fi’ 1 ’ the reasons ailedged in my last, but because ;l I believe it has furnished the British govern ► nient with a precedent for concessions on our ’ part, which she will not quietly relinquish, and . in submitting to which, heretofore, we have \ already sufficiently degraded ourselves. Had •j the right of our flag to protect our seamen and jj property been insisted on, when that instrument |i was trained, Britain Wo. id, long ere this, have been forced into compliance. Gen. Washington’s Sj private opinion respecting the treaty, ’tis said, jj differed widely from his public one, and the ; resolution making provision for carrying it into c effect, passed the house of representatives by , a majority of only 3, 51 to 48—and here 1 can j not retrain from telling Mr. E. that he who has ■ not a opinion of his own, or pretends “not to 5 judge of the justice of the cause” of the pres v en ( controversy between the United States and i Britain, is a luke-warm American indeed, jj “ Mr. Adams,” says E. “ followed the foot- I steps of general Washington, fn preparing us 5 to resist the insults of any nation who insulted ; us. But what has Mr. Jefferson done ? He j has dismantled, sold and almost destroyed every j vestige of a navy.” This is the first time, I be lieve, Mr. Jefferson has been accused of des troying the navy. Pi ay how was it destroyed ? Are those at Washington and in the Mediter ranean a vestige? Are they destroyed? The i truth is, and it lias been made manifest to eve * *7 man wffi.se party prejudices have not got | the better of his liberality, that not a single ves [ sel, deemed by judges worth retaining in ser | vice, has been parted with. I The lust administration, in their eagerness t to go to war with France, and to have a navy, j bought up many vessels then on the stocks and , in the merchant service, which were never in * tended for ships of war. Some of them were . so unfit for the purpose, that the shock of a few broadsides would have stared every titn i her in them, and an enemy would have had no more to do to conquer them than to have - set them a filing. This is the navy that has been destroyed! Such were the vessels which have occasioned so much clamour ; and which were sold by the present administration, and . the money appropriated to the building of en gines of defence better calculated lor protect ing our coast, and less likely to tear themselves to pieces with their own noise. Mr. E. asks, “ what have the people gained by a change of men and measures ?” This question has been so often answered, that he might have informed himself with very little : trouble. They have gained— ! An administration who prefer patriotism to power, and the public interest to their own aggrandisement ; who are not so fascinated with the emblems of distinction and the emo luments of office, but they can resign them without a sigh, whenever the people are dis posed to make another choice. A relief from a system of taxation deemed dangerous and unnecessary—dangerous, be-* cause it increased executive influence, and les sened the power of the people, by maintaining hordes of collectors in every part of the coun try, who were dependent on the executive, and ready no doubt to approve its measures rather than give up their places—unnecessary, be cause the salaries of lie collectors amounted to more than one half the revenue arising from such taxes. A system of finance bv which we have been enabled to discharge upwards of twenty millions of national debt ; and by which the whole of it, including the Louisiana purchase (if the country hid remained undisturbed by British aggression) would have been liquidated in the space of a few years. Other advantages might be mentioned, but I shall content myself at present with otily ore more.. I mean Louisiana ! the greatest and most important acquisition (next to its liberty aiiu independence) ever obtained tor this conn try. i o prove that Fdo not exaggerate, I will give federal authority for my assertion, which surely will not he rejected by Mr. K. ■ T.xtiact of the speeches of Mr. Rots (of Penn sylvania) and Mr. Morris (cf.Y. Y.) in the se nate of the United Suites, on the 24 ih Februa ry, 1803. .Mi. Hess. “AY hat equivalent have you? \Y hat can you ofl’er to men who know the va lue ot that country ? (Louisiana)—\V hat would this senate take for the surrender of such a country were it out’s ? Let every senator ask himsell the question, and declare by w hat rule of estimation his answer would be dictated ?” j . Morris—* \\ ith this country (Louis* iana)in y our possession, you have means of de fence, more ample, nune important, more ea sy than any nation on earth. In a short time ail the West-Inula Islands, fed from your gra- ‘< naries, must depend on your will; and in con sequence all the powers of Europe, who have colonies there, must court your friendship. ! 1 hose rich sources of commercial importance will be, as it were, in your hands. They will be pledges for the amity of others in seas and dominions far remote. It is a defence, which, though it costs you nothing, is superior to fleets and armies.” This invaluable country to the attainment of which, some ol the less sagacious federalists j thought the sacrifice ol fi/ty thousand men and . and five millions of dollars a mere Jiea-biie— j (not more than necessai y for a single cam-; ‘ paign)—has been purchased without bloodshed j * or fifteen millions of dollars. Its revenue ; ■ pay* the interest ot the purchase money, and j the sale ot its lands will more than meet the ( principal by the time it becomes clue. 1 here j fore, it will not be paid for out of the imports of the old United States (as Mr. E. calls them) —lt will pay for itself. I hese are- some of the advantages .which i have resulted from a change of men and mea- j < surcs ; and which, to a certainty, would not j have been obtained, if the powers that were had J | continued in office ’till this time. I will now 1 5 thank Mr. E. to explain, satisfactorily, how the i j last administration laid the foundation of them, in any other way than by forfeiting the confi i deuce of the people, and the eby giving place , to better men. This is the work of the present administration in six years, pray what was done • by the last ? j The shabby use Mr. E. has made of two ’ sentences in my last, by introducing “ the difli t cullies we may have,” in order to pervert their j meaning, and furnish himself wiih a few lame . inferences, is a proof of his liberality, as well as ■ dexterity in accommodating things to his pur ! pose. Although I recollect something of my addi tion and subtraction too, I cannot, for my life, solve the enigma at the commencement of the last paragraph of Mr. E.’s piece. As it has ex cited much curio* ity, and is no doubt very in genious, he will gratify, by an explanation, many besides A REPUBLICAN. Savannah, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1807. FRENCH AM) RUSSIAN ARMIES. The sloop Two-Sisters, in 15 hours from Charleston, has brought an extra sheet contain ing an account of the long expected battle, be tween the french and Russian armies, on the continent oi Europe. ‘1 he news was received at Charleston, by an arrival from Baltimore; and states, that the two armies co nmcnced fighting on the sth and continued partially en-. gaged until the 14th June, w.ien ihe battie he* came general and terminated in the entire de- I feat of the Russians. We have not been aide i to obtain a sight of the gazette, but the account is said to be official, and states the loss of the Rus sians, in killed to be 2 5,000 men. We are authorised to state, says the Louis ville Gazette of Aug. 21, that the President of tne U.S. has called on the executive of this state, for her quota of one hundred thousand militia which is 3095; and that the governor has re quired of the adjutant-general n accurate re turn of the effective men in each brigade of the militia ot this state. We are informed, from good authority, that Levi Sbeftall, esq. United States agent, has received by the. bug Eliza, captain Baker, arrived on Tuesday last, from Philadelphia, a supply of ordnance, powder and ball for the de fence of this place. Messrs Everitt & Evans. Having seen it announced in your paper, that I am a candidate for the next legislature ; it is not without considerable regret, I feel myself compelled to say, that my private engagements, will render it impossible for me to serve my re publican citizens, in that capacity. I trust it is unnecessary for me to express my gratitude, for the confidence which has heretofore been l eposed in me, by nty republican friends. JOHN H. MOREL. August 27. Charleston, August 27. During the thunder storm on Thursday evening last, the mast of one of the Gut.-Boats, I lying in our harbor, was shattered by lightning; j and colonel Daniel Stevens’ summer house, in I Georgc-street, was also struck. It entered at 1 the h. w. part of the building, and passed s. e. The window frames were driven out and shat tered, and all the frames of glass broken. His Excellency Char'es Pinckney, having lately made earnest application to the general government lor a large supply of cannon, mus kets, and other military stores, to be sent here, we are informed that his excellency lias just received u letter from the Secretary of the de partment ot war, informing him that he has di rected a large supply ot these articles to he im mediately forwarded to Charleston, to be ulti mately stored in the magazine at Rocky Mount, it not immediately wanted for actual service* Among the articles arc five thousand muskets: Ao part, however, ol these stores, except this lifcaiy cannon on travelling carriages, can be put into the bands of the militia, unless when call ed into the field for actual service by the pre s dent ot the United Stales ; which shews tho necessity there is for exertion on the part of the individual states for having the militia well armed and equipped. Major general Butler, commanding the first division of the militia of this stale, on receiving the governor’s orders, through the adjutant general, for the draught of his division, im mediately wrote to his excellency, offering his service as a volunteer City Gazette, TO CORRESPONDENTS.
