upon and y.v locollrftm'g. that one of the

ft hr mg pre turned to intermeddle in the in

‘now to what cause your lleFtation is owing
A t Ie bees.ufe.yoii give credit to had mini dors—
it is hecauie you lend too favorable an ear to the
advice of your ir.fniiler Manfredini, a man who
J.t.g gained a- pernicious afeendancy over your
mind, but who ought’ no longer to have any’
flnre hi your councils.” Lord Hervcy, after!
thus idling.an independent Prince that was u.otj
to listen to the advice of his Own ministers, j
might with equ.d propriety have gone on to tell i
him that he ought to be guided solely by the
cour.fels of the right honorable gentlemen over
agaiuft; me. ‘ Your ministers, ’ he might have
fa:d, “ are ignorant and incapable ; the Britiih
mimlters are wife and able. Observe into what
3 iituatiun they have brought their own coun
try, and you cannot doubt with what wisdom
and vigor they wiH confiik for yours.“ This
language cf Lord Rervey has never been difa*
towed by ininiftert. It has even been imitated
by his fucceflbr, and therefore I mufb conlider it
ai having been the language of his inftru&icns;
and thus hy menace and intuit was the Grand
Duke of T.if::any compelled to renounce his
new iyftem of neutrality, contrary to his own
inclination, to the advice of his ministers, and
the inters!!- of his people. Such was the con
duct of ministers when we were powerful in the
M diterrenean. .Lord Hervey wsß at length
recalled, and another gentleman whom I perfon
a'ly refpsft was appointed in his Head, and in
ftrlifted to fellow the fame course. At last,
after we hie our power in the Mediterranean ;
tfhf.ft events turn oat again ft us ; we submit not
only to tk- ufrtirrality of the Dube of Tuscany,
but to his concluding a treaty of peace and ami?
ty with the French Republic.
What has been your conduct towards Ge
r.oa ? Ministers hold the fame language towards
that Hate, and tell them, “If you continue in
your neutrality, it mufl be offenfive to the com
si"-d ?cwas,, ami may give occasion to revive
.claims which mult lead to ditigreeablp confe
rences t” a meaner threat never was employed.
Who are the parties in this mighty canted.'?—
Great-britain, taking upon herfelf to didtate
for all the combined powers, and the Republic
of Genoa ; this country not only admonishes
the Republic of Genoa agaiuft obierving a neu
trality, but threatens her with war if Hie does.
Look at this, and’fee a pidture of insolence, in
jitftice and mear.nefs, exceeded only by the fee
blenefs of the attempt to follow it up ! The
fortune of \pr being again ft you, the little
Republic of Genoa is stout ; and after blockad
ing her port, you are content to withdraw your
{hips, and forced to submit to her neutrality
with an ungracious apology for the injuftiee you
have done. By such condiidt you have impair
ed the character of the nation for justice and
magnanimity, and given to Great-Britain a char
acter of meanness and insolence which was never
belore imputed to her, a charadter which has
dvftroyed more countries than the loss of armies.
Io put this in a ftrbnger point cf view, contrail
it with your conduit to America. Did you
tell America that all intercourse with France
was difgraceful, until France should reft,re her
King? No! It is only to the weak and de- j
fenceiefs that you talk big. To the great and
powerful you. apologise, and agree to pay for
all the injuftiee you have done them.
Examine the law cf nations ; if any one
question in the lavs of nations btclearer and more
generally ashtowLdged than another, it is that of
a right in every nation, which no treaty obliges to
the contrary, to preserve a complete neutrality. —
Confider the fscrednefs of this right, and the
miserable condition of every weak country, if
whenever great powers go to w-ar, for what they
snay call the cause of justice, order, religion and
regular government, but what others may think
views of ambition and aggrandizement, every
weak Prrcce, every petty Republic, were to be
compelled to take a part in the contest--- ff such
were to be the condition of fodety—if men
Were not allowed to enjoy that neutrality
which their independence entitle them to, they
would begin to doubt the benefits of fbciety,
and Ijilsjn to the paradoxes of those who main
tain, that all tftablifhed rules and principles are
isun'i/ i in ignorance and error ; and that socie
ty itfelf, as at prefentedconftituted, is not worth
preServing.”

IN our last, we gave fome information, re
ceived from the Seat cf Government of this
State—this- information caused the Printers of
the Museum to accuse us of depriving them of
the credit which they wished, by obtaining a pa
per from their office in the night, and extracting
the paragraphs in question from the fame. We
iiavc not been in the habit of fathering the wri
tings ol these Gentlemen, however brilliant they
may have been—and, trust. we {hall never have
occasion to do so.
a* ROM MILLEDGEVILLE—December y. *
E stated in cur last, that the Bank Bill had
palled both branches of the Legiilature—we
now have it in our power to give the following
lift of Gentlemen, as officers of said Bank :
CHARLES HARRIS, Prefidcnt.
WILLIAM B. BULLOCH,
JOHN MOREL,
EBENEZAR STARK,
FREDERICK HERB, and
GEORGE SCOTT,
Directors, together with a number from
each Diltrict in the country.
Mr. McLean,
I have observed in the Ch.arlefton
Courier, fome animadversions, which manifestly
have for their objedt the extolment of the Eng
lifti policy, and the eulogy of the mad king’s
Proclamation. With a view to attrad general
notice, the Editors of that paper have prefixed
to the remarks alluded to “ Political News.”
Th e writer of the article asserts that the indig
nation, which the outrage committed upon our
national sovereignty had justly excited begins to
subside, and he attributes this wonderful altera
tion to the unfavorable report, (as it operates
upon Commodore Barron,) of the Court of En
quiry. This is an afiertion, which no man, who
docs not feel a great predilection for the Eng
li|h fy flora, would make. It is fallacious in the
extreme, and may hate been written (but whe
ther or no it will encourage) the marauding sea
commanders of Great Britain to commit and per
petrate new encroachments upon our rights as a
neutral power.
The indignation, which was kindled in the
American bosom by the gross and dastardly at
tack of Humphries (till burns as fiercely as ever.
It Has been displayed already, and if our rights
are refuled us it will burst forth with renewed
and additional violence.
In the name of common sense I appeal to any
man, who pofleffes it, if the writer of a para
graph, who asserts that Humphries's condudt is
viewed with less asperity, because Barron has
been censured, is not greatly attached to Eng- <
land. Undoubtedly he must be ; for whatever
the impropriety cf Barron's conuudt may have
been, as relates to rcfiftar.cc, it can be no jollifi
cation to the murderous and cowardly perform
aaces-cf the savage Humphries.
The crimination too this writer attaches to
in case she refufes to give up seamen
when demanded by the Eritifti. In the very
demand preceding the affair above mentioned,
three men natives of our country were demanded.
Shall we resign cur own citizens at the demands
of. the Haves of a phrenzied king ? Forbid it
courage, and avert it honor. If they rob us, by i
iiuprefiment, of our marines, We are not so fifth- I
as cot to retain cur own, when wc are once able J
to recover ft,

Ckareston, December 8.
By the Corvtlia, Lescsnc, we have received regu
lar files of London and Liverpool papers, to
the 24th Odtoher, benig four days later than
our previous advices. The following arc the
only articles we notice of any interest.
LONDON, Odtober 22.
The Revenge, in which {hip it was formerly
stated Mr. Monroe was to take his passage for
1 America, has failed for France with Mr. Smith
and another gentleman. The former is permit
-1 ted to go for the purpose of bringing away h:s
j daughter, who ass been detained there fines the
| commencement oi the war. The latter, we un
j derftand, is the bearer of dispatches frorn our
j government, on the fobbed of an exchange of
; prisoners.
Mr. Monroe has not left this country, as has
been e: roneoufly stated ; that gentleman trans
acted dv.ifinefs at the Foreign Office, on Satur
day. Mr. Rose will, we utiderftand,'accompany
him from Plymouth.
| Letters were received yesterday from Copen
hagen, which state, that Admiral Gambier had
failed with the whole Da-fifh fleet, ladeh with
!tores, and might foou be expected in this coun
try, with the iubftantial and splendid proofs of
1 our late triumphs. The greater part of the Brit
ain fleet still remained, but many of the troops
\ hao embarked, and the others were preparing
; for immediate embarkation. Our fleet will con
tinue to surround the island till the whole are on
| board, and ready to fail.
j Two vessels have arrived one from Raga, the
j otner from Memel. The former in about three
weeks, the latter in less than a fortnight. No
embargo had been laid on, nor was apprehended,
at Raga—-the Englifti vefliels there, about 20 in
number, had nearly taken in their cargoes, and
were to tail in a lew days. At Memel there was
not the ieaft idea entertained that an embargo
would belaid on in the Ruffian ports.
By fome letters received from Holland, we
find that King Louis has liberated all the persons
who had been imprisoned during hts absence,
under the decree which prohibits the landing on
the Dutch shores of any perfen from a Britiih
port.
French troops, it is find, have begun to reas
semble at Boulogne in coniiderable numbers.
If the {lores which have arrived at Yarmouth
Iroin Copenhagen, are a {air specimen of what
is yet to come, we venture to fay they are not
worth the freightage. Pieces of old timber, fit
for nothing else but firehood, and bits of rope,
only a few yards long, constitute the lading of
the tranfporti. It may be said, better bring these
away than fuller the transports to return empty,
j Some people might so reason ; but is it not be-
I neath the dignity of a great nation to be robbing
the poor Danes of a parcel of old iron, junk and
firewood ?
LIVERPOOL, Gctobe 2k
Dutch papers to 14th, and French to the 11 ill
have been received. Their contents are net ve
ry important. Great preparations are making
in Paris for the celebration of the A nnivstfary of
the Battle of Jena. A grand ball :s to be given
on that day by the Court at Fontainbleau, in
honor of the King and Queen of Westphalia, on
the occasion of their marriage! The defenfive
operations of Ruffin are noticed, and Britain is
termed, with a reference to that country, the en
-'v-
No. further intelligence has tranfpirad ft*.it
Portugal. Our merchants connected with that
country confequentiy remain in a state of the
molt painful anxiety. Fears are entertained that
the recent arrivals from the Tangus >vi!l be the
last.
It is stated id an article from Copenhagen, that
opinions are there entertained of a probable rup
ture between Sweden and this country. That
the King of Sweden has {Lengthened the works
of Hellingburgh and Carlfcrona, and that it is be
lieved he has been required to place his navy in
the hands of England.
The report of the French troops having en
tered into the Daniflr territories if confirmed :
not so much to possess Holstein, as to expel our
troops from Zealand, fiiould they not be difpeied
to quit it without. Our Ministers must now pre
pare to reiinquifil that country immediately, or
to defend the pofleffion they have so konerdbiy ob
tained, agaiuft the united forces of Denmark and
France.
By the late treaty between Russia and Tur
key, I’ ranee has acquired fometKing more than
influence in that country. We {hall not befuv
prifed to find the whole of Turkey ft,only in the
hands of the Emperor Napoleon and hL brother
Alexander.
The houses of Ar.hault, Wa’deck, Scitwar
tenburgh, Leppe and Preus, have been added to
the Confederation of the Rhine. If Sweden
(liouid unite with Rufiia, Denmark *:;d France,
how will it be in the power of oar goveixraent
to prevent the complctioa of a Northern Confe
deracy.
Parliament, it is reported, will not meet until
tue latter end of January, the Ministers having
caflt enough to last until April.
