In your lafb paper you have copied from
the Trenton Anncrican, a pafl'age of a letter
from a capt. Charles Hyde,* to his friend,
w ritten in consequence of the cantain’s dif
million from the military service of the United
Stares, pursuant to the law of Congress for re
ducing the army. As the extract is very
fhorr, i cannot forbear introducing it again to
the notice of the public j in order that the
captain may be heard in his own behalf, be
fore I adduce other evidence to teftify what
fore eft’ a man he is—Hear him !
(t Through the prevalence of jacobinifm
the President has deranged me : 1 hate him,
by G—! by G— I hate him ! I hope you will
help me to hate him for I can’t hate him half
bad enough !”
I he editor of the Trenton paper has very
naturally inferred, from this letter, that 4C this
fellow Item* not only to have fullered de
rangement in the army, but in his intellects/’
Now, let us hear what other people fay cf
this captain, who is so brim full of 4£ hate”
towards the President, that lie calls on his
fiend to help him to hate him ! In the lift of
<£ B dances due the United States on the books
of the accountant for the department of war,”
(certified by the accountant, under the date
o. March *?, i Vo2, and printed by.order of
compels) we find the following item, viz,
1 Charles Hyde, paymaster, dollars
43 cents,— Balance clue by him on fcttlement
£>t his account, 31st May, ißi : Some part
of it will be accounted for, by his pay *nd
subsistence to the day he will be deranged ;
but a large balance will be finally due to the
United States which, (continue* the account
ant of the war department) I have no: beer.
• ole to collect, although repeated applications
hive been made to him for that purpofc.”
Here, then, we have the true reasons why
this worthy pay mailer and captain was dil
mififed from the army* He is publicly
ihewn to be a defaulter for C{ a large balance”
flue to the United States, probably, little lefik
than the amount with which he (lands charged
on the books of the war department: for his
arrears of pay and subsistence mud have been
a trifling proportion of dolls. 2616 -M-F. —

TO THE PUBLIC.
When the natural advantage* of the United State?
are confiidered there is no subject that strikes with
more force than cur inland navigation. Various at
•empts have been made to accelerate it by mechani
cal means ci tiar fiporUlion, and great merit :s due to
the projectors, yet they have unfortunately too gen
erally tailed, I now come forward to ofter ar if
vention of mv own (or propelling boats and vcfleis of
any fizc according to the force that may be applied,
‘otaliy new and different from any others that have
been produced. I will remark that I kave produces
it, I have experimented it, and it remains wlrh the
public to carry it into execution. I refer t© the Pre
sident of the United States, to the Secretary of State,
o the Secretary at War, the Secretary of the Navy,
the Supcrintendant of the Navy, and to many cf cur
refpedhible citizens, who have teen its effe£b, and who
will give their opinions ; I refer to the thing i'fcif,
where expel finents, by manual labour, will convince
ocular ofcfervation, and obviate ufelcis verbal cr wiit
ten deferiptions. It is proper however, to give fiome
account of its qualitie*. ft hey copfift in its limph
city, in its convenience, its durabiii'v, ir adoption to
manual, horse or ftcain powers, and in the uoub'e or
fucceftive stroke. ft'his double or luccefiive ftrckw is
worthy the attention cf the mechanic and of die na
vigator, for by it a constant effect ;s kept u. L ex
ceeds the common oar by the (ingle stroke only, and
of courts must gain rapidly when the (ucceflive stroke
is applied. It can be ufeu either vertically or horiz
ontally, 2nd at the (teal, stern or fide of the vefiel,
and is constructed and operated cf d:red lines instead
of ratary lines. Its chief importance consists cf its
obviating manual labour, being, with the grea’cft
convenience, adapted to the steam engine, whole force
is durable, competent and equable and this equable
force it is that gives uniform power Jo the fucceifive
stroke. It can be u(ed in all cases where rowing can
be clone, and may be extended to Bay, Lakes and Ihort
coasting trade. Whenever there is want of wind,
there lies a principal advantage in the invention. In
infttnees of long rivers, such as the Miffiftippi, Ohioj
Ac. it is intended that the machine boat (hall be de
foliated to tew other boats ; hut larger veflels will
juftify fepaiate engines. Fuel may be deposited
along the (bores cf rivers at convenient tliftances ro
be taken in occasionally by fkiffs, lo as not to impede
the pregrds of the machine. To the steam engine I
would command the attention of the public, but ma
chines may be modified for any power, either manual
or horse. Besides encouraging this invention for
common utility, individuals will be benefited in pro
portion to the early applications they ftiall make for
previiege>, my patent being dated the 2id day of Feb
ruary, “1802. In case of application, I promise to dL
refl the imnufadluring of machines, ami will give eve
ry inftruhlion in my power to accelerate the busi
ness. Steam engines can be made in feme of the
principal seaport-towns, particularly Boston, New-
York, P til iuu elphia, Bahirniore —and other parts of
the United States.

Ccrruptisn . “ The oil which mtkes the

Divinity. The Bench ofßifhops uniformly

Gown. A ro he o t innocence, when applied

also, as appertaining to lawyers, with the ad

Naißual Debt. Three hundred and thirty-one
millions of pounds Berling, which is increal

of this sum, if it was- Lid down in guineas
ciofe together in a line, it would extend up
wards of fix thou land miles in length. 1: it
was laid down in (hillings it would extend
upwards of five times round the world, and

.A COMPLETE COLLECTION OF THE

ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC.
SUCH cf the State Papers of cur General
Government as have been pnhhfned y are to le
\fmnd in files of news-papers only , end in other
fleeting and detached publications.—Ninny cf the
utmost importance to the fiatesman, and indis
ptnjablc to ihe historian, have net appeared in
\-print. Fuch, indeed, is the'nature of diurnal
publications , and such are the needy ctrcumfiances ,
very generally, if not univerftlly , cf their con
duff or s that they are neceflu ate dto give preference
cf admijflon into their journal, cf that fpules cf
information by the publication cf which , alone,
they obtain neivffary support. Hence , regular
and entire jilts of the largefi and heft conduced
political newspapers do not contain a regular con
catenation cf governmental documents ; ana it
may be fafeiy added, that files of all the papers
in the Union do not. Yet, if they did, flattered
through a bulk of literary matter so vast, it would
require the life if one man, to colie ft and arrange
them lucid order . Dr. Ram fay informs us, in
his preface to his Hifloty of the Revolution , that
he was four years in col letting materials for that
(mall, but excellent produlthn, not with]} an ding
he had access to all the official papers contained
tn the various departments of the general govern’
men.
Os the utility cf a work tbzt ftcall comprise
all the state papers (the official dscuments) cf
the general government, from and including, ihe
memorable congress of 177 4,10 the end of the pn
font adminiflration, little need be said. The
historian will find in it prepared to his hand, all
ihe materials ncceffary sot writing the history cf
the Union, It will fnrnijh the ft aits::: an with a
body cf authentic information, the under/}ending
of which is necefsaryto cenfiitute that exalted ckt
r abler. t§ cur editors cf newspapers, who ft
literary prof u fliens vie in excellence with tbcfl
§f their bretberen in Europe , end who are emu
lous to excel each other at heme ft will i: an ejli
rnablt work. T 0 politicians cf every fell and
grtdt, it will be no less pleasing than injlrutlive.
In *ne word, it will of if elf, form the mofi au
thentic, and, therefore, the bfl political lUstory
§f the United States.
It will require ccnfiderAble r sea much Isler
And no Jm'dll expence to complete the c die It ion.
Yhe editors have, however , low? had the
work in contemplation, and much progress in it is
already made. Such cf the state papers as have
never been puhlifl-ed, will be included in it, as well
as thofl which have not , in any fbape , appeared
before the public,—l hey have made arrangements
which authorise them t§ assure their fdliw-cii: -
