ec I ha ze been highly gratisied
to-day and yesterday, with the
attentions paid to Col. Monroe;
those have been os the mod
marked and particular kind.—
Although I cannot understand
their language, 1 can hear their
o o •
cannon, and see their military
parade. We had not been in
the hotel an hour besore a guard
os sisty soidiers were placed at
the door, with orders to obey
the directors os the American
minisler. The general os the
troops Rationed here, then made
his appearance, at the heal os
thirty ossicers moil richly drrss
ed ; and aster expresling their
latissislicn ar Col. Monroe’s
sise arrival, and wissiing him a
plcasant journey to Paris, retir
ed. The ossicers os the navy
paid their respests to him next
morning. The Americans who
are here have like wile visited
him—merit will at lead sur
mount calumny and detraction.
Should these movements re
ceive their impulse srom Paris,
which we cannot determine, it
may be a happy presage to the
important busuiess upon which
Col. Monroe lias come.”
RICHMOND, May 25.
On Monday laid the circuit
court os the United States was
held in this city, by chies justice
Mirssiall, who delivered a per
tinent charge to the grand jury,
stristly within the limits os his
ossicial duty. The jury with
drew, and returned in a Ew mi
nutes without a Angle preser
ment.
I o contrail: the charge os
Judge Marshall, with the insa
mous degeneracy which mark
ed every scmencc os that lately
delivered by Judge Chase in
Baltimore, would be to con
demn tl;e latter as a lhamesul
dereiislinn srom judicial pro
ceedings ; and as a ridiculous
wandering into political jirgon 1
and consusion, without the pub- 1
lie good in view, or a just regard I
to his own preser:bed duty.
Shall the man who has tramp- ;
led the dignity os his ossice and
the decorum os judicial pro
ceedings under soot, be longer
borne with ? May we nr>r be
permuted to aik, how long be is
to, ahuse cur patience ?

articles os impeachment will be

and that thereaster, him Els and
his charges may not disturb the

Ex trail os a letter srom a gentle

in Chamber]burg, (Penn.) j
dated Duncan, Antrim County,
March 20, 1803.
Dear Brother,
s C I am serry to insorm you,
that the Welt is in a (late os
rebellion, and at this moment
actually in arms against the go
vernment. A new militia
have keen railed by govern
ment, which ad with great au
thority over the people. A
great impress has taken place in
aii the ports os England; and
this week the presi-gangs arriv
ed in cur ports.-—They press,
without respest to persons, all
they sind cut os active employ.
Married men are seized, no
matter in what situation their
samilies are, and haukd on
board os the veslels.
< s I believe a new revolt is
the whisper here, as sar as I arn
able to judge ; and srom every
insormation, the subjests os G.
Britain, in England, are in the
same spirit. 1 hope 1 may ne
ver experience another revolu
tion, sor we ?re loaded with |
more taxes on account os the |
lasl, than nine-tenths os the peo- |
pie are able to bear. But we
mull submic to the busthen
how long, God only knows.—
There ?re recruiting parties m
all our inland towns, that os Bel- j
I Tast in particular, has sullered j
1 by the press-gangs. I
“ As soon as posilble, I shall
embark sor your country, sor
real sasety is not to be sound
here. Is any thing more takes
place, I will insorm you as ear
ly as pc thole.
“ I conclude with just ob
serving, that the crown cs
j England dreads an invasion, and
1 is making every preparation
against the same.”
The sollowing h an extrast

| Much as we value the great ta

1 admit that a change os reprden

will be pursued. Mr. Irving,
the new American consul here,
is the sriend os Mr. Jesserson,
! and was appointed to that ossice
j by him. V\ e believe no man
j could have acquired more to
j puiarity, anci have given more

his talents and great attention to

Mr. Irving has done.”
I In Rhode-Island, sederalism

deral. sts have sour newspapers
in the state to prop up their
cause, and drive their sury at
republicanism, yet ail their ca
lumny and Hander have only
operated against themsdves—
the biters have been bitten . The
Governor, the lieutenant Go
vernor, all the Senators, and
sisty out oi s evenly repieTenta
tive s, are republicans. In the
whole general assembly, in grand
committee, con silling os 82 the
sedcralists amount only to 20.

In the bickerings os party
animosuy Americans do not
sussiciemly value the unrivalled
happiness they enjoy, nor as
habitually, as they should, as
cribe this b.appincls to its pro
per causts. For twenty years
we have enjoyed uninterrupted
peace, during which peiiod pro
perty has regularly risen in va
lue, agriculture has improved,
| manusactures have advanced,
! commerce has extended, and
| cur numbers nearly doubled.—
Private pursuit is not settered
by a Angle {hackle, there are no
monopolies, and the conscicnce
cs every man is sree. Taxes
\ • J
i are lighter than in any nation on
{ earth, while labor is more pio-
I duClive, and the means os liv
ing well and acquiring an inde
pendence by honed: means
greater.
To what are these pre-emi
nent blesllngs ro be aseribed,
but to that system os govern
ment, which we alone have a
dopted ? To that system which,
acknowledging the people the
sountain nt all power, has wise
ly placed imheir hands essectu

Here the people chocse their
rulers, and at short periods. In
other countries, either the peo
ple have no participation in the
government,or the participation
nominal, and a mere ihadow.
