The sollowing extraordinary transadion, our aushoiitv sor the truth os which isunquession ible, is not generally known. We do not re r olle£l evei to have seen it pub! (lied. \ seaman. who hid been en ]i(led by the United states to {erve onboaid the C'onslyHation, and who os enuri'e was under the itnmedi te p oiestion os our go vernment, was during her crude saspeded to have been one os the crew os the Hermoinesiigate.

On resleding on this extraor dinary occurrence, the si st en quiry that naturally (uggests jtsils to ’he mind, is, a«« the commanders o‘ our armed slops veiled with the arbitrary power to deliver any os their crew, (wh *by virtue os iheir enlist ments are under the special pro tedinn os governor nt) to a soreign nation ?

LOUISVILLE, TUESDAY, Apri! ig, 1800. Sunday's Southern Mail had not arrived when this paper was put to ptess. National Magazine.

By oppressivc asts towards the editor os this paper, the au thors and supporters os certain measures obtain 6rie end. at leass they deseat that activity and induslry with which he perlo nallv watched over daring and dangerous measures. It was os some importance to these solks that no report could be given os several os their recent debates; iq sa st it is clear srom sornc pri vate declarations as well as open proceedings that, it was the hone and intention os the artgb>scde ral party to get at Mr. Pinckney , hoping to prevail either by ter ror or arbitrary punishment, on the editor to salsely accu'c that gent’eman; and thereby give them an opportunity os depriv ing him os his seat. The editor sinding what the angle- sederal party would now be at, and srn hug other insinua tions in an evening paper, con cerning another republican member os the senase. thinks it proper to declare, 1. Thai he received three printed copies os Mr. Ross's bill, one cs them under a h'ank cover, was lest a the ossice, the other two he received srom metn brs os Congress, who conceived they had a tight t<> puhlisbthem and who have given the sdiroi authority is he chutes to publisti their names—which, however, he will nor do. 2. The insormation con rern ivg the Caucus, at Mr. Bing ham’s, came in an indirc£l man ner srom two gentlemen who wee present, and had the editor been allowed to bring sorward evidence, he would have called twelve members m w os the si nale, and the piesent speaker os the house os repre sentatives to prove the sa£ts; and he knows that two os those gentlemen would declare on oath the truth os whattsu editor has pubhshed on that lubjest : and surther (hole gen Irmcn stom whom the insormation came, voted on the resolutions os the committee os privilege unisormly with the ct mmittee. 'I hele gentlemen in this a&ed inconsisti mly, hut they sind that the considence they reposid, is not nor will it ever be betrayed. The editor has now told all that the le ate could extra6l srom him even is they had illued another edict, declaring that the rack sh add be introduced and their culprit put to the torture Prom a Philadelphia paper os the 2 d os April . The bill sor deciding disput ed ele&ions os President, which palled the lenate on Friday, 16 to 12, demands public regard; it canies pwer to a mod seiicus extent indeed, and as we pie disted in the outset. and which ptedrstion drew on us the re* lentmcnt os its authors, it goes to ciea;e a new branch in ihe government which can put \\ horn they plcale at the head os our government. By our absen e siom the sinale gallen t not able to lep rt the dc die pail age ot this bill 1 . time, and can only*regis. no per ion has had indv' kC: A i nr..i - \z. * (o take notes os the (peech os Mr. Charles Pinckney on that occasion, which we undetstand to be generally allowed to have been equal in eloquence and ssrength cs reasoning to any thing ever delivered within the walls os congress. We under hand he declared it to be uncon siirutional, and its tendency dangerous to the liberties os the country. We muss hope, and wc iolicit, that this gentleman will at some suture period os leisure savor the pubbe with that and others os his speeches, sor which we have so osten applied ; it is a justice which he owes to his country and himsils to point out to the public the danger os the extraoidinaiy measures now pursuing,. We undersland Mr. Baldwin os Georgia opposed the electoral council bill or as it is called, Mr. Ross's bill, with great sorce, and arguments clear, nervous, and unan s werable, Mcssrs. Ross t Dex~ ter and Read , replied—but their strength lay in the dead majority os v hich they were sure besore they began, Mr. Livermore os NTew.Hamp ssme, is entitled to great credit sor his candour in this debate. He honessly consided he would not vote sor the bill, he consider vd it as tyiannical and unconssi tutional. Mr, Lawience os New-York, did not declare hitnsels so open ly, but his (.pinions were clearly the same as thosi* ol Mr Liver more, Mr. Pinckney, and Mr. Baldwin, sor he lest the senate chamber on the division w ithout voting. Under these circumstanccs os doubt, with thosi gentlemen, and the small majority, there is just realontohope, that the house os represeotatives will reject it altogether. FOREIGNERS. In the debate on the bill which is clessined to be a bone os contention betwixt the sede lal government and the (late os Pennsylvania; as the (edition and alien law's have been in Virginia, a man who has been elevated srom an usesul occupa tion to that os senator, aliened, that in his part os the country, not a Tingle individual made the smallcst, oojedion totlse a ien or sidition laws, but that one man w'ith whom he had convened had gone so sar as to say that he wished all soreigners in ght be sint out os the country The ideas os those people aie not to he envied by sreemen; but to w hat a pitch os iliiberality muss not that man have arrived, who was capable os entertaining so unsociable and barbarous a sin |ti nent. Is such an idea were capable os being extended, to w-hat would it not lead ? Is strangers w r ere robe sent out os this country on account os their opinions, why not the sens os ssrangers, sor having imbibed the principles os their sathers, and is sims, w’hy not grandsons sor the same ideas ? Again, why should not the army and navy be purged os /Irangtrs to prevent the desenders os our liberties srom catching ~<»ntagious piimiples' In (hort. h a sentiment can lightened mind, zml no rrp.n ? r seusc would have sulsered it u, escape him, is he di 1 not intend that the party entertainincr • sliould be reprobated by every man os common undemanding But although humanity teach es that ssrangers should be hos. pitably received, and jussice dj. retls, that there should be only one law sor the citizen a 11( j “ sor the ssranger that is within your gates/' always remember ing that your sathers were ones “ strangeis in this same land •” yet soreign luxuries and soreign insluence as they have beenth c bane os every country, sirsl by corrupting the morals, and as terwards by undermining the liberties and virtues os the coun try, leave it a prey to the sirst usurper ; s o soreign things should be contemned when soreigners arerespested according to their virtues, their talents, and their usesulness. A native American besore he is capable os serving his country or himsels muss cost the coun try on an average 10001. where, as a ssranger, the moment he ar rives on our shores is os imme diate public utility, and conse quently worth to the States 10001. Is it w*ere not so, hotv could we account sor the rapid encrease os riches and porula tion in America while we were colonies, or sines we have be come independent States—the truth is, soreigners have greatly contributed to enrich our coun try, but soreign luxuries and so reign politics are beginning to coirupt it.
