to pubiifh the lift—lt is to be
oblcrved, that thole vefteis

the owner will not realke his

We underftand that John
Langdon, Efq. J.as been pre
vailed upon to take upon him
the charge of the naval depart
ment under the executive autho
rity of the United States. The
appointment augurs well—a man
who from the hr ft dawn of the
revolution, has been in conftant
activity in the public fervice,
who had the moft important
trufts during the revolution, in
t quipping and building the na
val force of the revolutionary
government; who has in every
llation of Icgiflator and gover
nor of liis native ftate, and as
lenator of the United States,
under all the changes of party
and foreign intrigues maintained
an uniform and unffiaken attach
ment to the principles of the
revolution and the equal rights
of mankind ; whofe hands have
never been foiled by fpeculation
on the misfortunes of the war
worn fokiier, nor the erection of
an iniquitous fyftem of govern
mental itockjobbing, and whofe
private virtues are as much to
be admired as his public con
dud!:. When fuch men are ap
pointed to office, the country is
in a fair-way to accompjllh what
ccl. Humphreys lately Ifighified
it flood in need of, the “ retrie
val of the national character."
Mr. James Lloyd, a memo

into a contradl to furnilh Haves

Lloyd received an advance of
feveral thoufand dollars, and has
not, nor cannot furnlHi a fingle
Have. In fadl, he has forfeited
his contract, and the Editor of i
the Examiner is affured, that vve i
have no better profped for get- I
ting money than ftaves, from 1

Their votes mufl be very
confiding to thofe royal ids, who
like the late Mr. Shoemaker,
never fwerved fro m their alle
giance to their king. Thefs
lums beingfecret appropriations,
no doubt a part of the firft item
will find its way to the members
of the late Anchor Club;
that for the relief of the clergy
and loyalifts may repay the la
bours of a form on or a political
pamphlet; w hat kind of claims
are to be made good by the laft
item is difficult to determine;
it certainly cannot be for the
ihips captured.
Fbe late voce of the Britifh
parliament for an imprefs hum

is an admirable tefiimony of the

the great reliance which is plac

By the lafl accounts from
