A ! ftendy adherer.ee to principle ihould sl- I ways charadlenfe a true republican ; and in umca like these, when tr.ere is, among us at halt, an apparently dead calm, he should be usually on the alert, left an unexpected storm might overtake him and blsft his hopes forever—The inten tion of the rema k was to Ihew that so ber judgment and found uiftretbn fliould guide our private cLdce ot public men ; and that now efpeeialiy, when there is among republicans in this city such har •iso -- to p'iuciplff, but ditror l as to ; me all private IT -5 and diflikra an. 1 , j f’nuld be facrifired at the aitar of pub l.c good.

The democrats appear to hold at preftnt the fame lan guage, not we hope from an antieat and inveterate habit of abusing the British government, but from a regard to the honor and iecurity oi tr.e country and that general inte>-eft, in which they are themselves large partakers.

REMARKS OV THE AKOVE. Had the tenor of this article been con fident with it felt, or with a correcl knowledge of the powc xi 2 r.d authorities veiled by the government in its fuachon- aries, we fliould have been ready to accord with our applause ot the Boilon G::rette in the fentimenti of reprobation and in the manly fpitit of refilbincs. But when through ignorance or difre gatd of the inlfitutiou of the gove: nment 1 that paper undertakes firft to censure for ‘a fuppoftd omission of duty, and for which there is not the fmalicff founda tion or esufe of reproach ; when it builds a charge of pufiflanimity upon its own bafeiefs and bale affumpttons, then we can neither gir-j tny credit for the unu sual expreflion of releritaunt againfl Britain, nor believe that iulincefity aad iincerity can be io cloUly united. The Boston Gazette ouglit to have ‘known, or rather it is reprther.lible to be j ignorant that congress alone is competent j to the adoption of “ meafurrs ” oi acyl kind, beyond the complaint and retnon-; ilrance. to assert, that’ repreh ntation’ the *moft manly and d;g- Pli .1, ! ave been already mace to ti e IF itilh goviroment, on its recent reite a* tion and aggravation of wrongs and mj t [jes we undertake to cflcrt that the ex ecutive iv/s dffeharged his duty in fueli a manner, wit’: regret both to Spai.t and Great Britain, ns will obtain the applame of the public of every party—unless the/ I creatures ol the Spanifb mwifler and Bf it'Jb ! mini, tier ; from these rninions the execu- tive'will obtain a reluctant or extorted credit. _ , . As to antiphaties agairul Great B jitain it is not mucit matter of fnrprit* ’that ‘ht-y should exiit in a teiul ican bosom ; 1 a government, whose minilters had held | up our government and its principles to* ! the abhorence of the world ; who have j made the fomeregnty of the people a bye ! w ord of reps 0 .eh, and who have paid out ‘./ the T're. f try , the rewards of dai y and weekly (lander, againtt our xepublican : (i.ltitutimis.

Th s'Britifh neuiliry of Pin has ever h-’t-n admituifry of expedients. The prin ciple of aggrandifement has been the on ly permanent part cf it. That mini iter coudu'ts his affai-s and regulates his political measures. by a plan which writ always enable the politician to forefte his proj -fits, who is acrjaaictcd with Lis . means -,id minions. i His measures are adopted from digef.e l • mem firs', and there are a Licit few who Tirr.ifh luch mernni s tu the exigency ; calls for ; these fuberrimates are provided ; for in parliament, by docents, cr 6y of~ luces it: the treafnry -. and their rewards drawn from the public purse are always com me a (urate with the ftrvice. The agents are feledted for qudibcation> suit ed to the cold blooded kauteu * and des potic temper of the man Dundas mana ged Scotland, as Clare managed Ireland In the financial department he has been the parliamentary echo of Refit Hi Steele. In the policy of commerce he moves nut a (1/p without lord She field. He who is acquainted with the wri* tings, and the inveterate mifanthrophy of Sheffield, to often drfplaytd from the revolution to this day againtt America, may very certainly appreciate the pubey which America is to expect from Eng land while Pitt is nuinifter. The fyftcin puriued by the order of council in 1793,19 not firrply revived but aggravated. It is part of the fame sys cem, which labored againjl nature, to j diut us with our produce out of the !
