ifost themselves l>v which your counle

useful to an honorable man, who is at
this moment suffering in silent agony.
The situation of Commodore liarron
is not less singular tliun distressing.—His
m courage has never been questioned—he
is admitted to possess an uncommon por
tion of nautical skill—ho holds the com
mission und the sword of his country
ond yet the privilege of using them in
her service is denied to hitn. If this
denial be founded upon the existence of
facts not kno-u. n to the public, which ren
j der it proper in the estimation of the
government that lie should be permitted
to enjoy the pay and emoluments of a
Captain in the Navy, and yet that he
should be refused the command to which
his rank would entitle him ; we should
humbly conceive, that it is due to the
people of the United States, if not to
Commodore Barron, that these facts
should be published.
If we are to look for the cause of this
denial to events already before the world,
nc cannot doubt tlwt when they shall be
passed iri calm and dispassionate review
before the government of the U. States,
they will not be considered ns furnishing
sufficient ground to prevent Commodore
Barron’s restoration to his former com
mand. During tbn years service prior
to the attack of the Leopard upon the
Chesapeake, malice herself had never
whispered aught to his prejudice. In
that disastrous alfair, did the Commodore
commit an inexpiable ofl'euce ? Som
of us have examined minutely the record
of his trial, and we connot think that he
has any thing to fear in inviting to it a-
gain the attention of the government.—
We certainly do not mean to censure the
decision of the Court Martini—we feel
for that court all proper respect—But
as far as we can understand the decision,
it charges him only with an error of
judgment. Admitting that error ofjndg-
ment to have been justly imputed to him,
has he not sufficiently atoned for it ?
It 'ought not to be forgotten that he has
borne all, which the court directed to be
inflicted. The sentence in all its rigor
lias been executed upon him. For live
years was he suspended from his pay and
his command. Rendered indigent in his
circumstances by the devotion of his
farther to the cause of the revolution in
which he sacrificed his fortune, and
thrown entirely out of employment, he
was driven by this sentence into a lin
gering exile from his native country in
pursuit of the means necessary for the
support of his family. We neither de
sire nor pretend to estimate the bitter
pangs which must Rave wrung his bosom:
They are presented to our imagination
—they teuch our hearts, but they are
not susceptible of cold and sober calcu
lation.—Putting them out of view, may
we ask, Is not nil this ample atonement ?
If it be not, we are at a loss to conceive
what would be so considered. The pe
riod of his suspension from command
terminated after the commencement of
the late war. At that moment he found
himself in a distant land ; and as he flat
tered himself his services might not be
unacceptable to his country, he repor
ted himself to the proper department,
and made every possible effort to return
to the United States and share in the glo
ry of his ( compatriots in the navy. These
efforts were rendered unavailing by his
poverty until the war bad ended.—Upon
laia return he again reported himself for
service, relying upon all the just claims
of his arnk. But now, whensoever the
naVal service ofifere an opportunity for
their employment, officers of inferior
grade are put into command, whilst he is
left to pine in obscurity, neglected and
forgotten. The sentence of the court
martial, which suspended him from com
mand for five years, left his honor uutar
nished. Painful as that sentence must
have been, a man of honor might find
some consolation in reflection, thnt the
proceedings which led to it, were public
and constituted a part ofthe history ofthe
nation. But what is there to sustain him
against the silent reprobation of his go
vernment ? It is equal to a condemna
tion without trial, and inflicts a wound
which is incurable.
Commodore Barron has no knowledge
ofthe step, which we have now taken :
our own feelings have prompted it. We
pray you to draw the attention of the
President to the subject. He has been
himself a Soldier, & he knows what is due
to those who are prepared to fight the
battles of their country. He knows, that,
when the road to distinction is closed
upon them forever, life is robbed of all
its charms, and existence ceases to be a
blessing. To his justice, his liberality
and his magnanimity, we wish the appeal
to be made, and by the decision which
lie shall pronounce, we are willing that
Commodore Barron should stand or fall.
LEGISLATURE OF NOVA SCOTIA,
January 12.
Mr. Fraser moved that the House do
come to the following resolutions, viz.
“Whereas the Parliament of Great
Britain, in and by an act made and pass
ed in the 18th year of his late Majesty’s
reign, entitled, An act for the removing
of all doubts and apprehensions concern
ing taxation by the parliament of Great
I Britain, in any ofthe Colonies, Provin
ces andtJPIantations in North America,
have declared that they will not impose
any duty, tax or assessment whatever,
payable in any of his Majesty’s Colonies,
Provinces or Plantations in North Ame
rica or the West Indies, except only such
duties as may be expedient to impose for
the regulation of Commerce, the net
produce of whioh duties are to be paid
* and applied as therein directed.
P JIesolveo, that no duty, tax or assess
ment, save and except such duties as are
in the above in part recited act except
ed, can, since the passing of the said stat
ute, be imposed upon the inhabitants of
tliN Province, other than by the assent
»l their Representatives in General As
sembly.”
Resolved, 'I hat a committee bo
appointed to bring in a bill declaratory
ot the tees payable by vessels engaged
in the coasting trade of this Province.
3. Resolved, That a committee be
appointed to prepare an address to hi*
Excellency the Lieutenant Governor,
stating to Slim the evils endured, ns well
as the grievous and Imrthensomc tees
exacted from the Coasting Trade ofthe
I roviuce—the reasons which have indu
ced the House of Assembly to come to
the foregoing resolutions, and praying
His Excellency will give every facility
to the endeavors of the House in affor
ding relief to the Coasting Trade of the
Provinco.
Mr. J. I. Chipman trusted that before
the House cniue to any decision, every
member would give the subject a calm
and deliberate consideration.—No per
son could be more heartily disposed to
relievo the coasting trade from heavy
exactions than himself; but the mother
country had always afforded to this colo
ny the warmest support and protection—
she had brought us to our present state
ot prosperity and comfort, and he sincere
ly hoped that the House would take no
step that should occasion her displeasure.
I he course about to be pursued, brought
to his memory the unhappy contest in
the revolted colonies, which terminated
in their separation from the parent state.
He did not attribute like intentions to
the Hon. mover, but the sentiments a-
vowed on bringing forward the Resolu
tions were somewhat similar to those of
that day—Every thing sought for might
he obtained by a firm, temperate and
respectful petition to his Majesty ; but if
we undertake to deny the authority of
the Commissioners of the Customs, act
ing under instructions from the Lords of
the Treasury, guided by acts of Parlia
ment, he would undertake to predict the
worst of consequences :—Let gentlemen
pause and reflect.—He would repeat,
that he was for obtaining the most effec
tual relief and redress—but must again
protest against adopting the present res
olutions, as violent and unnecessary, and
only tending to excite the hostility and
displeasure of government.
The first resolution was carried, 23 to
14 ; the second by a vote of 30 to 7—
and committees were appointed accord
ingly.
Miscellaneous Items, from English papers.
The London Observer of Nov. 26 says
it is a notorious fact, that the formidable
gangs of thieves which at present infest
the streets to the terror of passengers
are unprecedented, and that from their
force, they have only to select their ob
ject, and plunder follows even at noon
day.
The public in England are caution

At the Parish Church at St. Thomas,
in Salisbury, after the reading of the
Psalms, a person rose in his place and ac
cused the clerk of adultery. The Mm

persisted in the charge, adding that he
came there for the express purpose of
telling the clerk’s crime in public.
The present queen of the Sandwich
islands is the wife of a Russian blacksmith.
She was decoyed on board an English
vessel by one ofthe lieutenants, and re
mained on board for some time, when
the captain of the vessel becoming ac
quainted with the fact of tier being on
board, had her landed at the Sandwich
islands. The king became enamoured
of her and made her his wife.
A meeting was held at Hull to consider
the conduct of ministers in relation to the
queen, at which resolutions were passed
disapproving of the proceedings in Par
liament in attempting to degrade li"r ma
jesty. The resolutions were seconded
by the Rev. Richard Sykes, of West Ella,
who compared the present king of Eng
land to Henry VIII. who had six wives,
two of which he divorced by aid of false
witnesses, and two others, by fdse wit
nesses he caused to he destroyed—such
a king, be remarked, might be at oner,
a liar, a thief, au adulterer, and a mur
derer.

Miraculous preservation from Ship Wreck.
New-York, Fell. 17.
The Blucher Packet, Capt. White, on
her late return to England, in lat 49 an,l
Ion. 81, fell in with the wreck of a new
schr. bound from New-Foundland to Li
verpool, and providentially took off her
three surviving seamen, who had bepn
thereon 19 days, and in so deplorable a
condition that they would most probably
have expired on that or the succeeding
day. The Only sustenance these poor
creatures had left, was the skin of half a
pig’s head, which they agreed to suck by
turns, and 3 quarts of water. There
were seven men in the schr. four o(
whom were drowned. The three mis
erable wretches thus saved by the hu
mane and discreet treatment they re
ceived on board the Blucher, were bro’t
into Falmouth so much recovered, as to
be likely to do well.
The following letter, copied from a
New-Hampshire paper, is a pointed com

Congress Hall, Dee 6. 1820.
Dear Sir : Yesterday I had the honor
of a letter from the Secretary of the state
of New Hampshire, containing Instruc-
lions of the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives to their Senators and Repre
sentatives in Congress, to exert them
selves to reduce the pay of Members of
Congress to six dollars per day for eve
ry twenty miles' travel. I am aware sir,
thnt the expenses ofthe national govern
ment far exceed the revenue, and that a
very general retrenchment, not a partial
one, lus become necessary. The in-
structions of thd honorable Senate, (as I
perceive they originated in that body,)
will receive an the consideration which
such a communication merits.
Your honorable members will individ-
oally suffer me to advise them to reduce
their own pay, at least to reduce their
mileage, to what it formerly was. As
there is no body to instruct the Legisla
ture of New-Hmnpshire, it cannot lie of
fensive for one of their citizens to advise
them.
With much esteem, sir, I have the hon
or to be, your most obedient servant.

ffjT" We Imve the satisfaction to tol uol
our readers, that the Indian Treaty, negociat-

by the Senate ofthe United States. Should
the House of Representatives have agreed
to the necessary appropriations, it may be
forthwith carried into effect. A question of
much importance to the prosperity of Geor

of country be disposed of as heretofore by
Lottery, or will the disposition of it be such
as may enable the State to improve her navi

establish, on a permanent basis, a system of
public education, not less honorable than be
neficial to her citizens ?

THE SPANISH TREATY.
The arrival of thp Spanish treaty in
the United Sl ues, has turned public’ at
tention towards Florida, and the com
mercial and political consequences of its
acquisition. For the last twelve months
an apathy has existed in relation to Ibis
subject, which, in this country, where
the freedom of public enquiries is ofthe
boldest character, is to be accounted for,
onlv by supposing that all public, con
siderations are lost in the contemplation
of private depression and distress. But.
the ratification has in it so much of pence,
so much of untnixed good, (hat the very
expectation of it has brightened the pub
lic aspect. A strong anxiety has always
existed to have the treaty ratified, found
ed on a wish to preserve peace between
the two tuitions, anti particularly to pre
serve peace by adding that country to
the domains of the United States. A
correspondent, who was act identaHv led.
a few days ago, to tho perusal of a de
bate, which took place in Congress at a
former session, on some resolutions in
troduced in relation to that treaty, says
he has not seen any where tire sentim
ents, which he is sure prevail among the
American people, more accurately and
strongly expressed than in the followin<r
paragraph of a speech delivered bv Mr.
Anderson, of Kentucky, lie rapidly en
umerates the advantage of the acquired
territory and most correctly states tin
public sentiment.
“ Mr. Anderson said thnt lie had ne
ver heard, until lately, that the nequisi
tion ofFlorida was not eminently desira
ble to this country, not only on account
of its positive advantage*, but for the
purpose of excluding from all ownership
any foreign power, whose neighborhood
would he always unfriendly, and particu
larly for preventing its occupation by u
power which had a strong naval force.—
flic complete natural boundary which
its possession would give us ; its fine
ports ; the command ofthe Uulph, (an
advantage always in the recollection of
those whose productions passed to market
through the channel of the Alississippi,
had formed the reasons which induced
the American people to desire it. Mr.
A. said that, without pretending to know
more on the subject than was possessed
by every gentleman around him, he had
yielded to these reasons, and had parta
ken of the general anxiety. Public sen
timent has decided on the importance of
the acquisiton, and the executive depart
ment of the government has been stimula
ted by a knowledge of the universal wish
that Florida should belong to us. It inn\
be safely affirmed that, for many years,
tire people have never looked to a set
tlement of our differences with Spain,
without combining with it the acquisition
of Florida. So strongly has it seized on
tho Public mind, that the erigffi.il cause
ofonr negotiation with Spain has become
only an incident in public sentiment.—
This general anxiety was connected toe
with a belief that its purchase was essen
tial to the complete suppression ofthe
Indian hostilities which have so long vex
ed our southern citizens.—Xat. hit.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT.
A writer in the “ National Gazette” of
the 12th instant, relates an occurrence illus
trative of the ” public spirit” of certain ca
pitalists at Philadelphia. In repiiljlisbing a
fact so creditable to the concerned, we say
to the citizens of other’states, “go and do
likewise.— IV. C. Gaz.
“ On Saturday last, at a large meeting iff
the Stockholders of the Schuylkill Naviga-
tion Company, the Board of Managers re
presented, that a further subscription of two
hundred thousand dollars would he necessa-
i v to complete the improvement undertakt n
by the company, and that the books were
(hen open for the purpose. Mr. Stephen
Girard subscribed for one hundred shares,
and informed the gentlemen piesunt, that
they might subscribe for the rest or as much
as they might ch mse—he thought til • im
provement of the stale of such immense im
portance, and the Schuylkill as the first tins
in the chain connecting the remote parts ol
the country, that whatever balance might re-
ai,fin he would take it. The stockholders
then subscribed to the amount of about
$ 144,000. The bonk was sent down to Mr
Girard’s rompll.ig house in the afternoon,
who immediately took the tv,fiance of about
$ 06,000. This is public spirit ul'an efficient
