AmnnjL vis other crimes committed by corn- mod re Porter, he stands convicted before that -august and dignified tribunal the Quarterly Re view, n havitfg written a Journal. His high iHustrious judges, however, condescended to become . ins executioners also; an office the du- ties~of which, they' seem peculiarly calculated to fulfil. They have condescended to inform us, some time since, that they had “no great partiality for their American brethren,” and 'who carts whether they have, or have not! They care enough abofit us, it seems, to indulge in the most rancorous hate, and to form and give -currency to the most malignant falsehoods.— They care enough about us to forsake the cha racters of honorable men; for it is very clear, that if we were objects of such perfect indif ference, as they pretend we are, they might re sem e their calumnies and falsehoods for some We have seen too much of this Mr. T. whom he had insulted- D. challenge; - but having cdmeTipon tin ground unprepared for a bloody ter— the quarrel, T. required a written acknowledge ment of his error, and a suitable apology which ; JD. readily gave. These papers were published throughout the country; and a friend of D. meeting him soon afterwards, enquired why he had so foolishly, so basely consented to such a public exposure of his concession; declaring life" was not worth having’ .on such terms. “No, no,” replied D. “take my-word for it, 1 had ra ther Jill forty newspapers than one coJJin\”*— JVaJLlnt. >ted the esm&jed irt brfstort hnhi WeSl-'Rffies, aaent, whete they had Keen to m*e arrangements n _ 1..1- ^ l* i I. i- O * -1 t L.— iV n aHthnai K/ninHamoe nnd tn tMwwm-a ^ . ■ other.purpose, illegitimate dignity in our day, to be imposed on by 3dcn pompus declarations. There is a cold petrific decency of disdain, where contempt is really telt, infinitely more oppressive to the in- dividual ufiected by it, than all the calumnies, or slanders that can be uttered. If our coun trymen were too inconsiderable in the scale of existence, to attract the notice of such exalted characters, they might suffer them, at least, to E ass without a falsehood. This sort of despica- le cant reminds us of what We have often seen of individuals who have been stung by the just severity pt the press. To screen their mortifi ed feelings from observance, they will declare bow much they despise the slanders' (by which* .’they mean the truths) told about*them in our public journals. They will flutter about in eve ry place of public resort, declaring all the time how much iuaccessable their own characters are to such assaults. All this writhing and contort ed dignity, is evidence direct the other way.— Such men, who talk so much about their Own im portance, are the.jnost vulnerable by such at tacks of the press; In their awkward attempts to hide their mortification, they do but reveal it the more; they are cut to the bone, and they ‘ shew the severity of the woundby their wincing. >In the same way, do the Reviewers shew, by their abuse, that our countryman are not such objects of indifference. Their pride is wounded to the core, aud they seem disposed to take the only revenge which such minds can take, for the naval triumphs of our brave tars, by the • mean and indiscriminate abuse with which they load the American name. But such pojwiggle slanders are not confined to the Quarterly Review; the Edinburg Review ,is equally bounteous. We have been told by -■all these critics that our native country is a de graded spot in creation; while those very Re views are circulated here to an almost unparal lelled extent. While our mean grovelling earth worm slanderers are belching their calumnies upon us, they are deriving their subsistence from the Americans. They endeavor to teach vis the art of despising ourselves, by way of warding off the contempt of every honest heart, from the place where it is so justly and empha- tically v due. We Are called upon, by these modest men, to •spit upon the dust of-our ancestors; to turn the back of contempt upon Mount Vernon, to re nounce our country and the very men who have been the first to stand boldly forth, and to dis pute the claims of England to -naval omnipo tence. ft If there is one American who can bear this load of indignity laid upon his shoulders, without feeling contempt in‘every'joint, nerve, tendon and artery of his body; if there is sucli a reptile crawling on creation, one thing is cer tain, that he does not belong to the—federal party. A late British ministerial pamphleteer has ■urged upon his government the expediency of se lecting j.erbous from the “middling classes,” and sending them tf> America to act as spies, and to seek and transmit home such information as can- mot be obtained through the usuarpublic chan nels, and as will contribute to subserve the po litical views and interests of Great-Britain.— Yiiis immoral and profligate scheme is precisely of the same nature as that by which captain Henry was employed to intrigue with the eas tern malcontents, and to encourage and corrupt them into an attempt to dissolve the union.— The pamphleteer says that emissaries of the des cription he recommends would excite the least suspicion among the Americans as to the objects •of their commission, and that they could be hired fer a trifling stipend and the payment of their travelling expeuces. The langu ige and policy of this ministerial writer go far to demon strate the hypocrisy of lord Castlereagh's public., professions of friendship for America. We hope that our government and people will be vi gilant in watching the movements gnd detecting Scotia, taken from fists furnished by theTJritish author! ties to the American agent for prisoners.”—This list con tains one hnndied and fifty-eight. ‘ The third statement is a “list of Amegicah seamen im pressed on board of British public ships,- and discharged therefrom in England, since the peace; furnished by the American agents in London.”—This list contains two hundred and nineteen. ^ In these lists, not only the names of the impressed American seamen thus discharged are given, but it is al so stated by what British man of war, or under what circumstances they were impressed and detained—where first confined—when released—in what Vessel returned to the United States, and at what port arrived.

A distinguished friend has furnished us with the following anecdote, copied from a letter ad dressed to hjim in 1799,. by one of his correspon dents, who. had just then visited Mr. Jefferson at A|pnticellb. ? After speaking of the-hospitality with, which, he wife "received by Mr. Jefferson, he says—“1 wish I hifd time to detail to you all theffopics of conversation, but I must iiot omit an anecdote he told us of Dr. Franklin. Mr. Jefferson ami the doctor were soAie time together in Paris.— They-^.ed one day witnw large party, consist ing of i&ms distinguished characters of France, and sevewatAroericaus. The Abbe Ravnal and Or. Franklin, the two celebrated philosophers, had much conversation: among other tilings, the abbe observed, that in America all animals dege nerated; and he made many learned and profound observations, especially to shew this effect of the climate on the people, although so recently from a European stock. The doctor listened with his usual patience and attention, arid, after the abut- had finished; pleasantly remarked, that where a difference of opinion existed, it was the custom i.» deliberative assemolies to divide the house—he thereforefcproposed that the Europeans should go to one side of the room add the Americans to toe other; that the question might be fairly taken.— It happened that all the Americans present were stout men, full of life, health and vigM£, while all the Europeans were small, mfeagre arid hundred and ninety-nine American seamen who had been impressed by the British have been liberated.

The following is an extract of a letter from Well wood Hislop, esq. dated Kingston, (Jam.) May 16, 1816, to a gentleman in the City cf Washington. “Youhave heard, no doubt, of my arrest and impri sonment at Qartliagena by Morillo; but you can have no idea of the treatment I received. I was unfortunate in being too late in getting on board at-the evacuation, and on the 7th of December I was thrown into the inquisi- sition, where 1 regained two months without con.muni cation at all, and two more in a miserable state of sus pense. Poor Stuart was shot, with Anguiana, Tolleclo, M. Amador, Portocarrero, Ribbon, Castillo; Ay os and Dr. Granados, on the 24th of February: and, but for the intercession of the admiral, I was to h..i e been the tenth victim on that day. So that instead of being tried by block court-martial, I was tried by a civu process mir. culodsiy acquitted. “I left Carthagena on the 27th of April, at wliich date Morillo had got no further than Oc..na, and though there wus a general silence m town, it was whispered that bis progress was not so rapid as he expected. St. ft of of course had not fallen. The general coi^jress was at Tunja, and since the execution of Amador ..ad Ribbon, who had surrendered under a promised pardon, the inte rior spirit had resolved to defend i.seif to the List. Mol rales, with two battalions of Garaccas troops, had march ed for Venezuela, wKfe-e matters were changing much against Ferdinand; so that Moriilo has no more than about S juO men with him.

I Was,a month in town before 1 sailed, anu I assure you, those who remained, in hopes of a better government under Ferdinand, find themselves miserably mistaken. 1 believe,! may say with truth, the spirit of the people is now more elevated than ever it w..s at ally previous period.”—-Nat. hit. By recent advices from Bcnfth America, communicated by a friend on whom we can rely, we understand that gen eral Bolivar landed on the coast of the province of Cu- mana on the 4th‘Stay, at the head of 3,001) men, without any opposition. Numerous guerilla parties, spread through the Interior of Venezuela, offer to him the great est resources. Every thing is now in motion in that coun try, with the best prospects of speedy success to the pat riots.

In compliance with this request, the President trans mitted to the hfcuse on the 29th of April, a Report of the secretary 6f state on the subject, consisting of three se- veral-statemenls, and containing, as the secretary says, all the information wliich he lias as yet been able to ob tain relative to the object stated in the resolution.
