<3i£f'rence eftablifhcd in tlie right o r property to the owner, or the right o search on the ocean more then m ou cities —and any thing fflort of thee (la hi i filing of that principle is doing wot ft than nothing, it is placing ourselves more completely at the feet of the Eritifh government. The arrogance and impudence at tempted to beset up by the BrhiSi tniniftry, in many of the articles of the treaty, would almost lead us to suppose that our minilters were only feeing how far the influence of Iflat government would lead them, and how far they reckoned on the humiliation of the U roted State':, for certainty our ne'goci ators could not fuppole that the preft dent could lay fetch a farago before the finale. The articles by which Britain at tempted to retain the power of com* menting plunder with impunity, by forbidding the confiscation of debts, funded property, £cc. is too glaring ever to deceive congress. Britain by her present hesitation, shews her vulnerable part, where (he can be elfefhislly wounded, where A merica can Hr ike the blow—lor h6w ever the body of the modern Achilles may be rendered invulnerable, by the modern modes of warfare, yet flie has one part, one little heel* on which the touted States can inflict a deadly wound. Britain may cloak henelf in the in vulnerable armor of 1000 line of bat tie Ihips—flie may like the vaunting Achilles or Goiiah, ftricc forward to battle, but fbe will find that the little fling and the little finooth Hone of the United States is more deadly and ef fectual than all her cumbersome wea pons of war, though dipped in the Styx, or by herfelf termed omnipotent. After all the aggreflions we have fullered from Britain, cfpecially at this moment, to give up to the “ moral honesty” of England would be indeed iacraficing the interests of our mer* chants and the liberties of our fearaen with a vengeance, it would be as effefl uallv serving the interest and cause of Britain, as if the treaty was debated only in the British cabinet, and as if the callous hearted Melville was only to diblate the terms—for we should then Lc eftablrfhing the right of British piracy—and furraider in our dogs to the wolves—a new maritime code mull be adopted—which will secure our flag from the daily infalts it receives by the naval officers of that nation—render our property as secure from plunder cm the ocean, as in our own liores— and protecl every man who fails under our Hag until full and entire protec tion be extended to every citizen while in the lawful prosecution of his buiinefs, as well on feu as on land, our boasted freedom is nothing but an emp ty found. From the Fkiicdelpkin Political Re* filter, Marjifcuure of Prussian Biot —lt would be well if a manufactory of th:-> kind could be established in the United Mates. We have materials fufficient in tins country; all that it wants is a chemical process well known among us, to eSFeft this end—for tliis purpose, all we have to do is to cal cine (as it is usually termed) bones, hoofs, blood and other animal substan ces, with pot ash—by this means we produce what is termed Fruffic Acid; end with pot-ash lotms the impure Piufliaic of pot ash—the calcined mat ter ischxated with water, which dis iolvcs the Put Shale of pot-ash thus formed, which is then decomposed by a •ielut’on of copperas, green vitroilor fulpbate of tronard a PrufTiate ofiron i formed which is the Pruflian Blue. To render the proceis comprehensible to all claflcs of readers, the. liquor ob tained with water on the calcined mat ter is to be mixed with copperas, aifo difloived in water; then tire iron of the copperas combines with a peculiar acid formed ( Pruflic acid) already in union with pot-ash, and forms the blue precipitate ( Pruffiaq Blue) whilftatthe fa # e time the fu!phei*ic acid already disengaged, unites with the pot-ash, and forms a fait, by this double dccom pofition, termed chemically, sulphate of pot-afli, and commonly vitriolated tartar—perhaps fwhich we may fay with truth) that the fulpheric acid oc casions the cotri’mencemer.t of the de composition, owing to its superior af finity for pot-afli ever the ‘Pruflic acid, and confeVuently the Truffle acid in its turn mull seize the iron (oxyded) and form Pruflian Blue. It is, howe ver, ufualiy waffled with marine or ni tric acid to render it of a mote builiant hue. The blue precipitate is then collecl ed on a filter and waffled, here it if re moved to a drying place, and it is then finally prepared. Immense quantities of this article., could, very economically, be manufac. tured among us ; all materials for its coropofition are in abundance in all parts ofthe union—apparatus is Ample and consequently eafdy procured, at a small expence ; a furnace, calcinary pots, filter tubs, and other veflels for perlorming the solutions and precipi tations in, are all the apparatus requir ed, and laftiy the sulphate of pot-ash, when cryftaltzed would be fold as a medicine ; which Would in a measure enhance the prophits of the manufacto ry, and consequently defray the expen ces of the eflablifhmenr. AN AMERICAN. From the Paris Argus of the 21th August. Exlratf from the Project of a law laid before the Legislative Body at Paris , the 25th August , by order of the Emperor. Interest contracted for, cannot exceed in civil affairs, five per cent, nor in commercial af fairs fix per cent. Legal interest in civil matters, will be five per cent, and in commercial affairs fix per cent, without deduftion. When it appears in the course of the law suit that the lender habitually demands usurious interest, the tribunal before which it is pleaded, may condemn the lender to a fine which cannot exceed the half of the capital of the sums sued j for. | If in the tranfaftion there should appear to have been any swindling, the accused (hall be turned over to the correctional policy, and the punishment shall be, besides the aforefaid fine j and imprisonment, which cannot exceed two years. I No innovation is understood to take place in j the stipulations of interest by contracts or other efts made before the date of the publication of the present law. Mr. Jaubert laid down the motives of this Sail projeft of law. One of the objects, said he which has molt engaged his majesty’s attention i 13 the finding of the legal and conventional in terest of money. It is a matter which is inti mately connected with social order, public mor als, the fafety of commerce and the private for tune of families. The former legislature had fixed this interest It is only since the introduction of paper curren cies that ruinous fpecuiations have caused disor der in all branches of the pablic admuriftration. The 13th Bremaire has brought us back to bet-j ter principles, and the Civic Code has fixed the j baiis and decreed the legal and conventional inter- 1 est of money, but it was not possible of a Sud den to destroy every mark of the disease. It , was necessary to use circumfpeftion; private : fortunes yet fi.ook with the commotion that had f trobled them. Besides, they could not fix the ‘ rate of an interest fufoeptiqle of variation and i it was bound to leave the fixing it to the pro vmte of the law. Here the orator examined the question of the interest of money, both with regard to morals i and commercial utility. He proved that even refpeft for property, liberty and mutual trans. jaftions cannot be built upon the wreck of the I grand principles which preserve social order and : public probity. His mnjefly entertains no joubt that all good laws ought to rest upon that im mutable balls, and all upright merchants are of opinion that tranfaftipn3 which bear a proper-. tion to the produce of landed property and a reasonable benefit, furnifh the means of general and particular prosperity, whilst, on the other hand, exce'Eive interest corrodes the social body and the temptations which it holds out to ftoc. jobbing, lays the foundation of scandalous bank ruptcies, the sources not only of all calamities that befal private families, even the state itlelf. The emperor means to put an end to the hor rors of ufiiry. The law will be put in force by upright men, whose influence has io much pow er ; by those who will have to dread even the suspicion of not having been guided by it ; by those to whom such a convicton would be the cause of the deftrnftion of their dearest interests ; the violations of a law ought not to difeourage a wifelegiflator in a fixed and itrongiy eonftituted state. Inevitable abuses do not destroy in his eyes, present .good, much lets the certainty of, future happiuets.

The Regiment was called out on this occasion for the purpose of making a draft agreeably to the orders of the President of the United States.— It was difeovered from the Putrigtifin of the Southern Regiments, that only thirty-one In fantry were required from the Chatham Regi ment. The General, however, unwilling to leave unit fled the patriotifin of the armed for ces observed, that, as he had afforded others am opportunity of {hewing their love of'coun try, he would not refufe them a like opportuni ty—consequently, orders were given to those who were willing to serve their country, in the hour of danger, to advance ten, paces in front, at the flam of the Dram ; those who were not, to remain at their posts.; and, we are happy to obfarve, that not even one refufed to advance. The patriotism displayed on this occafior, does much credit to the Regiment—each one ap peared zealous to avenge bis country's wrongs— each one appeared alive to the feelings of free men—each one appeared ambitious to excel in j evincing his love -Of country. It would appear that the like conduft has been difplayed’ throughout the United States; what, therefore, have we to fear from our enemies. j On the following day, the firft battalion of the second regiment was called out for the fame purpose, and we are proud to state, that their! , movements were no less patriotic.
