The follow- ' lyfi-’ c t from this book, coming from a once high-ton- I ecf Boston federalist, is entitled to unusual credit:—Ilal- timore Patriot. “I cannot help remarking here, that the plan of retali ation determined by president Madison, merits the res pect and gratitude of the present and future generations of men. It was this energetic step that saved the lives, ap-l insured the usual treatment of ordinary prisoners of war to the American soldiers of Irish birth. This firm determination of die American executive arrested the bioodv hand of the British. They remembered ma jor Andre, and they recollected sir James Asgill, under the administration of the great Washington, and they trembled for the fate of their own officers. May eternal b'. ssings here, and hereafter, be the reward of Madison, for his righteous intention to retaliate on the enemy any p ;b|,c punishment, that should be executed on these Arne rican soldiers, of Irish origin. While we feel gratitude and rcs’iectto the head of the nation for liis scheme of retali ation, we cannot suppress our feelings of disgust towards tlie fiction in our own country, who justified the Brit ish government in tlieir conduct towards these few Irish men, and-condemned our own for protecting them from an ignominious death. I speak it with shame for my country, the ablest writers of tlie oppositionists, and the oldest and most celebrated ministers of religion, employ ed their pens and tlieir voices to condemn Air. Madison, and to justify the British doctrine. This is a deep stain on the character of our [federal] clergy; and tlie subse quent conduct of tlie British, may serve to shew these ever meddiing men, that our enemies despised them and respected Madison.” Paul Cuffee who in December last, c-irried out to Si erra Leone from tlie United States nine men of color, with their families, has recently returned to New-York, and exhibited to tlie New-York African institution certi ficates of the landing of those persons at Sierra Leone. Tie has also received from governor M‘Cartha a certifi- r...tc of the steady and sober conduct of tlie settlers since their arrival, and an acknowledgement of §432 62, hu manely advanced to them since they landed, to promote their comfort and advantage.—Boston paper. From the Georgia Journal, June 12. ILLEG AL OUTRAGE. The communication which follows, disclosing an act of villany almost incredible, was furnished by an intelli gent gentleman of undoubted veracity. Messrs. Graxtlamus.—I transmit to you, for publica tion, the following statement of f'-.cts, which I have from unquestionable authority, in order that those who vio late the laws, and trample upon the rights of hospitality, may be brought to condign punishment. Two persons armed, by the names of Stobo and John Castellow were on tlieir way, passing through the county of Jasper on the 28tli ultimo, enquiring for tlie road leading to tlie ( lierokee nation, haring in their cus tody five Spaniards, in sailors’ dress, whom they say it is their intention to sell to tlie Ckerokees. On enquiry, they say, they purchased them in Telfair county, and that one of the two paid p..rt down and gave his note for the balance of tlie consideration money, to which the other is a witness. Rut the unfortunate persons in cus tody, intimate, in terms hardly intelligible (not being able to speak English) that they are from Europe, and being strangers in Pensacola where they landed, were decoyed by these two Americans out of town by fair pro mises; and having got them in tlic-ir power, confine them in such a manner as to render resistance useless. In this manner, it appears, they havejbeen driving these men on foot, • (they on horse-back and well armed) through tlie country—a country too, boasting of its liberties, and of tile sacred rights of hospitality! There is notliing in the appearance of these Spanish prisoners that indicates any mixture of African blood in their veins; and to suffer foreigners, unacquainted with our language, customs and manners, w hom misfortune has driven upon our coast, to be treated with such inhu manity, and those who are the authors of such brutality, to escape with impunity, would be a reflection upon the government, and a slur upon the American character. It is hoped that prompt measures will be taken to re lease these unfortunate men, and to punish the offenders, who, in passing the country, take unusual pains to avoid detention and elude the officers of justice. Editors will do well to give publicity to tills. New Roar.—General Johnson and Mr. Dickson, the commissioners appointed by government to survey and mark a road from Reynoldsburgh to the present road leading to Xatcbtz, have performed that duty, and re- t'u ned home. The road runs nearly a direct course f" mi Reynoldsburgh to the Chickasaw Old Fields, the ;-.nc ion of the two roads, and-1s distant about 129 miles, it ’-alls on high ground,'andis also well supplied with water.—■„YashviUe Whig. New-York, June 15. The fourth of July, we expect, will be celebrated Whin more parade in tliis city this year tiian tlie last. The processions .nil attr-ct more attention, if it were only for the novelty of the niinature man-of-war draw n through the streets; it is now constructing by Messrs. Eckford & Browns, &e. But, the general concord among the republican party wilt occasion a more splendid ce lebration than usual. If we compare ourselves with i. rope, we ought to reckon the4tli of July a hallowed j .bilee, a day of universal rejoicing and thanksgiving.— Columbian. AMUSEMENT. The following extract is taken from a notice in the Richmond Compiler, of a set ol English caricatures; .2d Caricature—entitled “The Interview, or Miss out of tier teens”—turns upon the high life scenes, which are now exliibiting for the amusement of poor John Bull.— Tiie prince regent, his gouty foot wrapped in flannel, is pushing in with his crutch, his highness, prince Leo- pc..i—“Courage, man! don’t be bashful”—the prince, in a ludicrous uniform, and with a long sword, is addressing himself to his cara sposa with those emphatic words:— “Madam, I have no money, but I’m of the right breed, true German, and blood royal.” The princess (Charlotte, like a true hoyden, appears with a skipping rope, and thus answers his salutation, “I had rather you were Eng lish! but a German husband is better than none”—while her grandmother, queen Charlotte of England, is push ing uer forwards, saying, “Go along, scape grace, speak kindiy to him!” There is some humor in this royal cari- c&u'ire. 1 "V' <e nex j- caricature is founded upon a late anecdote of tetef Erskine’s sending brooms to market, 4nd selling i his twweppmg slim gen- or sweeping mea- i«inrpllnt« " Oil tilC m witfeenRiieftnsfr-rthe wL„„ the principaf characters are, Mr. Reman, dressed ih hfack, with broo: entitled “New brooms for John Bu: sures, recommended by the late chancellor. .left, is a large stall, filled with brooms of various des criptions, with the flowing sign of “Stock in trade of B—sk—e ahd Co. Licensed Hawkers and Pedlars.”— At the bottom of the stall, is a tub, labelled “Rods in Pickle;” in which, is a “Rod for theinquisitorial com missioners under the Income tax”—“Rod for Ferdinand the 7th”—“Rod for tlie Prince Regint”—“Rod for the Bishops”—“Broom tb sweep out the House of Lords”— “Broom for cleaning away the rubbish of a Chancery Suit,” Sec. The slim gentleman in black, addresses Mr. Bull, “Here is a bonny broom with ‘ a long handle, fra tlie North that will sweep out aw the dirt and rubbish in ev’ry house except the P 1 house and C—1—n house” —John Bull plainly tells him, “I want a broom to sweep away the income tax, and C—le h>!” Between these two august personages, in the back ground, is an officer who seizes lord Erskine’s agent with his brooms—“Show your license, fellow”—Oh! (replies the other) “I’ve none, sir; my master’s a lord.” There .is too much variety of figure and allusions—and many of the conceits are far fetched. There is another'Caricature, “The Court at Brighton ala Chinese,” intended to burlesque Ithe amusements of the Prince Regent, confined at Brighton with the gout.— The Paii!lion, so often ridiculed for its follies and cen sured for its extravagance, is tlie scene of this Bartholo mews fair—around the prince, are strewed political pa vers, and works to his own taste in wild profusion. He is seated on an immense cushion, delivering to the minis ter plenipotentiary to China, (lord Amherst) ins 1 motions to get fresh patterns of Chinese deformities to hnish the decorations of the pavillion.” The princess'Charlotte is. soliciting him fora China man, instead of a German hus- and—the whole groupe is a burlesque upon “tlie Lord’s anointed.” One thousand dollars were yesterday deposited in the hands of the treasurer of the committee of vigilance and safety, by the members composing the company of In dependent Blues, commanded by captain Aaron R. Le vering, to aid in the erection of die monument now rais ing to die memory of those brave men who fell in de fence of our city in September, 1814.—Baltimore Fede ral Gazette, YZth. ——— Philarelphia, June 10. Specie.—A large quantity of specie brought in wag gons, was yesterday received at the Pliiladelphia Bank. David Quizzenberry and Johd Farrington, were thlS'Hay arrested by the Police of this city, in consequence of a Proclamation of the Intendaut of Augusta, offering a reward of §200 for their apprehension, they on the night of the 28th ult. having committed ‘‘wanton and outrage ous acts on the persons and property” of seve ral of the inhabitants of Augusta. Quizzenberry and Farrington have been required to give se curity at four o’clock this day for their appear ance at court, otherwise they will be committed to prison. Mills and M‘Runnells, accomplices of the above named persons have not yet been arrested. The Police-Office, in this city, has had many beneficial effects, and a Citizen prays the May or, to notice, (for the good of the public) the state of Bread, daily sold by the Bakers,and ex amine its quality and quantity, and he will find ample room for the future attention of the oifi. cers of the Corporation on this head. It is re commended, that when Loaves of Bread are found deficient in weight, or made of bad flour, that the same be sent to the Police-Office, for tlie inspection of the Mayor: one or two detec tions, will much benefit the poor of this city.

Saturday Evening, June 29,1816. THE NEWS From Europe is squally—appearances, seem to indicate that a storm is apprehended. France is greatly agitated, and revolutionary move ments are daily expected. Russia is suspected to be arming to extend her influence over the South of Europe: and it is whispered that, “Louis the Desired” is to be ousted, and some new ruler placed in his stead. “The agony is not yet over.” * * It has been asked, whether William H. Craw ford, like William Keift, will consider the bap tism of the squaws a necessary preliminary to their alliance with the whites? By late accounts from New-Orleans, it ap pears that col. Perry and some other officers of the Mexican army, were recruiting men at that place and its vicinity, and had procured four or five hundred, with whom they intended to de part for Mexico. We observe the following lines in several leading federal papers: “The British cartel brig Maida, arrived at New-York on the 15th instant from England, with one hundred American seamen, released from British ships of war.” “Releasedfrom British ships of war,” were they, gentlemen? This comes with a pretty bad grace from federal editors, who have uniformly said that the late war with England was unjusi, unrighteous, and unnecessary—that it was not declared for “Free, Trade and Sailors’ Rights.” These editors were not apprized of the bearing of this article when it was published. It will not at all suit their Hartford Convention friends. Neither will governor Strong’s committee (who -stated that there were only fifteen impressed Americans from Massachusetts) relish this un lucky assertion. It flies in the teeth of all your former writings, gentlemen, and blasts with in famy the disgraceful calumniators of the govern ment. We repeat, again, that the war with England was just and necessary, and notwith standing the base efforts of an unprincipled faction among ourselves, it was carried on by tlie Republicans, and ended gloriously.— It has secured us an honorable name among the nations of the earth—it has gained us a know ledge of our own resources, and a sense of their importance. We have, by the war, asserted the rights of an independent nation, by insisting on reparation for wrongs, and demanding the re cognition of our rights. W e have beaten our old and deadly enemy—we have chastised her insolence: her ’Toulouse veter a ns have been rout ed by our undisciplined troops: her naval pride has been humbled by our gallant and skilful he roes on the ocean: her commerce has felt the force of our privateering system: her manufac tories have declined by the loss of our trade; and she was evidently driven to make a peace. In short, England has been defeated and dis graced in tlie contest. Tlet us, therefore, thank Heaven, that we have saved our honor, saved our independence, the integrity of our soil, and .»ur republican institutions; and have taught the world that a republic, under the most un fortunate auspices, has been able to sustain a’ war, single-handed, against the most powerful monarchy on earth. Rejoice, then, Americans, and be grateful to Heaven; for your indepen dence, constitution, and liberties are safe, and your glory is fixed on a foundation imperishable. “God hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad”—“Glory to God in the highest, Peace op earth, and good will to men.” It is but justice to suggest to the public of Georgia, that the works of her only Historian be neglected on the shelves of the book-sellers, when its value for information of tlie early set tlement of this country, its infancy, its maturi ty and its independence, is beyond all praise.— Had it not been for Major M‘Call’» labors, in dustry and talents, the present and succeeding generations would have been left ignorant of the founders and of the interesting causes of the foundation of this growing and independent state. This notice is published for the purpose of leading public curiosity to a work of merit, and indispensible to the citizen of Georgia, if he venerates the founders, heroes and patriots of the land. Z. The London Gazette, of the 4th of May. states, that the prince regent had approved of the appointment of Mr. Ingraham, of this city, as American consul at London. . F.

Our consul at Liverpool writes to the govern ment that several of our tobacco laden x essels have of late been refused entry, for informali ties in their manifests, and points out the parti cular forms which are to be used by our mer chants, and which are required by the officers of the custom house at Liverpool.—National In telligencer. The election campaign for governor of Loui siana ran very high at New-Orleans; it w as ge nerally thought that governor Claiborne would have permission to retire, and that judge Lew is, who is considered as the most popular candidate, would be elected to fill his place.—Charleston Courier. The work-shop in the state prison yard at Charlestown, (Mass.) was set on firebv the pri soners on Saturday night, loth inst. and burnt down; none of tlie prisoners escaped. Soloman Soutiiwtck, esq.
