W ASHING TO N, April 6.
While fome of our own citizens are
mplbyed in traducing the character
nd measures of those who adminiftei
lie public concerns, and in endeavoring
o convince us that we art* an unhappy
iation, it may not be altogether uninte
reiting to notice the opinions entertain
ed abroad of the government and its
neafures, in countries where there art
neither temptations of prejudice or in
terest to form too favorable an eflimate.
We sincerely believe the following ex
trad from a late Englifti p* int of the
frit relpectabihty, as dilnterefled and
intelligent a representation of the efii
xnatipn in which our government and
people are held by Europe ; and ?s suc h,
we present it as an evidence of thr
wisdom of our political inltructions, of
the fidelity with which they are exe
cuted, and of the unrivalled profpbrity
of our country.
“ The pifture which the message .of
the American Prefid.ent has drawn of
•/he inercafing profperitv of the United
States, cannot fail to di'ffufe imiv.refal
iatisfadion. It affords ilte haj.pieft V
lufiration of the wiidorr, of that po icy
which has preserved to America tfit
Heflings of peace, while, for ten years,
Europe has been defidaud and affixed
by all the hoirors of a war, unparchel
•ed in the misery which it lias produced
in ihe history of model n times. 1 ins
picture muff, by the people o’ th s conn
try, in a peculiar manner be contem
plated with the deeptft interest, as it
irresistibly fnggefts a consideration of
the comparative situation of this coun
try at the present moment. rom year
tto year the public burthens of the peo
ple of America have been dimimlhing
and the extindlion of the public debt
lhas been proceeding without the final*
t:ft interruption, loin year to year
the public .expenditure has been 1 efiened.
and national economy has been put fried
with the greater ardor. 1 torn year *v
year public abuses have been corre&ed,
;and public improvements have been in
itroduced. Hpublic tranquility lias not
3 For a dillurbed, and no
human livSßive been loft for the gra
tification of ambition or the luic of
power.
“ While Europe has been deluged
with blood, America has been blefied
with industry, with commerce, v.uh
internal repose. fiow very different a
p rofpedt does the fitiution of this coun
ts ry for the lalt ten years present to our
contemplation. Yeai after year has
added to our national expending e, and
t othe burthens of our pofUrity: year

The firfl laws of the rolonv of N*v-Ha
ven, have been pretty famous under tne name
of the Connecticut Laws. The writer has lee
those laws in the oriqinal manuFcript, fe
curiofify well worth publication in sac Anile
and knows that though fome errors and ex
alterations have crept into the flatements
•he laws Liven are fubffanuallv c rredh On*
law, the firfl, enidled that the bible container
i luffc ent code of laws for ail human and
social regulations. This, however, at thf
m*xt meeting, they proceeded to amend, bv *
vote that none but church members, or those
in full coma un’on, (liould be free b urge lies
So flrong were the fetters of religious preju
dice, that this was oppGfed by the voice of
one man only, (whole name does not appear)
and this not until rhe vote had been taken. E
will hereafter be found that this law has a
partial ex (fence a:: this dav.
As the colony of New-Haven, at the timr
of their union, had nearly the fame popula-l
‘ion as that cf Cbnrctf icut, and a ftro, g (in)- j
laritv of manners and sentiments evidently
txHied; there could be no doubt, did we
not know the fact, that the regulations adopt
ed after their union would bear a rtfemblance
to those above rtc’ued.
The ftreng h and extent of this prejudice
ha< been lurprifingiv exhibited in ail -he laws,
measures and babies of the people to the pre
lent time li was thisvhich produced the
deadly enmity to the neafures of Great-Bri
tain, exhibited by the clergy at the period of
our revolution. They well knew that the pre
vailing religion of that nation and fever*! of
the nr,oft populous colonies was strongly op
pofeci to their own ; that their power ofcourfe
was at flake ; and as they had long exereiled
it without the comroling negative of a min
ion of the crown, they felt lefsdifpofcd ro part
with it. Hence every exertion was made to
rouse the people to oppofltion ; every appeal
was made ukich could find a paflion to ope
rate on j the puipir, tl*e domestic circle, the
public* and the private walk was attacked n
every shape which human imagination cord
fevife, to forward the glorious w *rk. The
(uccefs was complete j the union of political
and religious mot ves could not be widiitooc
id C( nnedient.
Approv ng of the revolution in the fullnehs
of my futi), and holding every of us patriotic
cxcrtioj s worthy of gratitude and praise, 1
• annoc hut regret that the exertions of the
clergy had ooi proceeded from better motives.
Experience has proved, that the freedom of
idigion which they so loudly talked of then,
was no other than unlimited rule in their own
perluaflon. Their . subsequent cor.duct has
vi ce , that the people learnt Itflfßns during
that revolution, which it was never intended
hey should become acquainted with ; and
that every exertion has been made, and is
now making to keep or reduce them under
e teri cal thraldom. A Y A x K EE.

“ Why is rhv counrcoanre so fad,

<c Why does thv Hnile lo quickly fade,

Think'it thou my heart can welcome joj—
Can I to pleasure give my day;
Can I my horns in mirth employ,
When all 1 love are far away ?
Once my fond heart was truly bleft,
Then grirfs pad lightly o'er my iou!,
Then in my arms my wife I prefs’B,
Then did the hours too quickly roll.
Two frriling sons encreafcd our bills,
With lif ping accents —chikliih play—
Is rhere a heaven more sweet than this ?
But now—alas!—they’re far away !
Yonder pale orb has dimm’d its light—
Again in fulled fplcndor fnone,
Full twenty times since lod my fight
Beheld one I could call my own.
Can 1 rejoice, when such my doom?
No ; tecnous roils the linger ng day v
Night wears, for me, a deeper gloom—
For all 1 love are far away.
Ah ! bitter w-ts the draught I drew,
Misfortune’s (hafts at me have down ;
The faithful hearts I’ve found .me lew :
Still l*m despondent and alone.
For this my bread emits the (igh;
My cheek becomes to grief a prey ;
Smiles quickly pass ; 1 pleasure dy :
For all I love 2re far away.
But hope dill lingers round my heart!
And bids me not too fcon despair,
She points me to another part,
And (hows a happier profpedt there:
Those who my tender foul entwine,
Shall my ade&ion’s call obi y ;
A husband, parent, soon jejo n,
And grief and f:ghs be far away.

pis publications, and indeed, where he can pniiefs hun
felf of inform* r ion, hi candor is not very confpicums
in the pr sent in ft.i nee, what he has (feted as UtL is an
absolute failehood.
We oight be au.horifcd so (rate thus much from
the univerfa! opinion in this qiur c-, t"at mr. Fiobny
was V‘*e editor cf (he Herald j :>ut we do nor rest fm
authority on t■**:s conviction ;we have other evidence.
Ifeh.ie vftering ‘bis evidertce to ihe public, .ve hit-k

ers not being i ujet to

bferved in a !e rer to us on the funjuft, previous in
nis de; case, if the instances alluded to in ihe following,
were of that number, they ought to have been re
amed so the o.Vner.
The aKiidavit has been incur pefteftion for fnme
time, as may be ken from its dare; we have hi-heno
iufpend -d .is publication for <ur own re .fens. His
now oftcied o public perefil, and we think mud c
vince the moll haideued pm zan, that rmi H )hoy was
not without that (penes of interest in the 4.u m(E
Herald, Which strongly his feelings in the
elrabiiihmeut.
So far from having never been an editor, we have
just grounds for behevirig hat he was for fume *i r, c
editor of M’iVliiian’s paper previous to the eftahiifh
men't-of me Herald in Auguila, if he was noi p. cu-ii-
A ily concerned in it. Taa he has been uniformly
the editor of he Herald from its ftrlt efiabhihmen’
until lately, there is not he fhadovv of a do. nt ex fl
ing. We will not suppose that mr. Hobby has aliert
eti a falfehood m his various pu tikca dons, but it. is
certain that he his wonderfully imposed on the under
fknding cf the public. We thi..k it time tne errui
was corrected
With refpe& to his transitions in c fßce, we (hall
not’ attempt to accuse him of any impropriety $ any
■mfinuations or cfieitions we may have received :d-
P"£ling mils Rozicr arid Jrunking , fhafi remain uuin
veliigated by us. It ts mtficient tlwipoii ic*l reafom
are abundant to juftify his removal.
The notoriety which mr. Hobby h?s ob
tained by his removal, renders it nectflkry to
pay more attention to him than he could oth
erwise claim, though, perhaps unfortunately
for the cause of truth, the wonder here has
been, how he ever fucceededtu obtain it.
Much cavil has been excited at an exprtflion
of mr. Granger’s, that the dcpury-poil-mailers
were in the habic of correipuniling with rhe
>aft atlroiniftrauofi, on policies, as ‘.veil as bu
tnels. This aßertion w..s intended merely as
•ne evidence of their politics, and th*t every
)fficial ad concerning them, ouid, he ex
je&cd, be imputed wholly to political mo
ives. But by federal legerdcr.-ain, it has been
round to contain a censure on that Corrdpon-
Jence, ora denial of their right to it. No
‘uch thing was ev-r conceived by ny one.—
The right is undoubtedly a full one, and its
exercise is approved. Certainly, however,
the advantages anting from the privilege oj
franking, ought not to be wholly denied to the
majority; their enemies fhouid a; kail confcu:
to a participation of them.
Bt while the right of franking is conceded
to poli-mafters, and vvn ie every officer his a
just claim to all the privileges of a citizen;
every rational mind will at once concede that i
decency is expeded from those entrufkd with j
