Some are driven isy oppression, others ly the fear of L—all are invited by the charm? of the brilliant character which v.e have just wou, the freedom we enjoy, the hospitable asylum w hich wo have opened to the wanderer. And it is at this moment that we see in quisitorial circulars from the Department of War and of the Denerrl Post office,* flowing from a resolution -of the last Gon grea, entering all our public offices—whose object is ———what ? to ash the head of the office, however email it may be, { ‘ in vrfcat state or county ?/ju born ?‘ } and extend’ ing the same to the lowest clerk in the of-. ti e !—lf it be meant by this, to draw a dis tinction between the citizens of the differ* ent states, aid to <!rivo the southernnian i’roin ca office of the west, it is contrary to the genius of a federal institution, which ought to regard all iis eiii/.ens with the same impiriinl eyo—it is against the genius of a eons ituiioa, w n**h provides that 4 * tijo citizens f each sute shall bo entitled to ali he pririlegcs and immunities of citizens in i.iie several sta’es.” if it bo meant to dis- Uiguiah between ih A citift'o horn h©;e, & j those w* o were not, the native horn and the ■ naturalized citjs -rl.it ts also incompatible| with a constitution whUh shuts no uoor of ofi e to the naturalised citizen, exc3pt that! which lends to the Presidency of the Uni ted States. 3f is ntao virtuolly contrary to the solemn faith of oatnr vii'zation whirh we plighted lo the foreigner, when we received j hi* pledge of tt/Jegian •.

Int. FOREIGN. I , i IMPORT AN T MEASURE. By private letters from Paris, We learn that a somewhat singu lar report prevails there respect ing the late negotiation between the Courts of Spain and Portu gal—The Court of Brazils, it is said, proposes to cede all the Portuguese territory in Europe to the crown of Spain, in exchange for a large part of the Spanish South American possessions*— With the view, as is supposed, of conquering these latter from the insurgents, either as a principal or as an ally, most of the Portu guese troops have been drawn from Lisbon to the Brazils.—— Bu.aos Ayres is certainly una ble to hold out long against any ■powerful attack : and on the oth er hand, however indisposed the inhabitants of Portugal may be to submit to the Spanish yoke, h does not appear that they pos sess anv means of resistance in the absence of their soldery. We know not what foundation there may he for these speculations— IV.o.ch politicians are never ea •'•y without discovering, or fancy ing that ihey have discovered, no me deep intrigue; but if anv mance avers of the sort are really going on, it would be desirable that our influence at the Cour cf the Brazils should be a little, better supported than it has been of late. Wc believe them is no British minister : * anv rank there at present. — Lo> l'sp r. Lc -UU Jvtiy 2. Departed Commerce —The la ftorious'sessicn of Pariiair*.ca t vas ciceed yester- 1 \y with a c, xee!i i fiotn the Ffines liegeru, which i touched upon our external and internal situation, conveys the, gratifying assurance that ‘” Peace, j so essential to the interests or all the nations of the world,” is like ly to continue ; and trusts that the distress, which the circum stances of the country at the close of so long a war, have unavoida- I bly entailed, will be but tempora ry. His Royal Highness there fore relies, with perlect confi dence, on the public spiv it and fortitude of the people in sustain ing these difficulties. And here it may not be irrevelent to state that this distress is not confined to Great Britain alone; that it extends to every part of Europe, land to America* —it is not that | the Prussian trade, that the Med iterranean trade, that the Ameri ! can trade, that die intercourse in j any particular direction isbad, but I that commerce, in ail countries, in all situations, in all forms, and j of all descriptions, is unproduc- j live. “ It would seem,” says a: contemporary, 44 as it the ordinary i appetites and necessities of man kind, which constitute the vital principles of commerce, were from some moral or i>h- -steal re X / volution, no longer to repay the ; ingenuity and reward the indus try of the mechanic and the mer chant.” But the real cruse Is the same in ah countries—-it is the long,’ sanguinary, and exhausting war. It has wearied and wasted all na-1 lions, and immediate recovery from this state of exhaustion is not possible. But the recovery is certain, and of the pressure we now labour under, strong motives j for a patient endurance ought to j be derived from the consideration! of the miseries lrom which we have escaped—and the grounds j we have laid for permanent seen- i rity and repose. It was therefore, with satisfaction, we heard trie speaker of the house of commons assume a tone of congratulation and confidence*;veli be fitting his high station and the commons of England., He well described the councils and the measures, bold, provident and comprehensive, which had re-established the tran quility of Europe upon the basis of legitimate government. And he gave its true character to the pohey by which the allied powers ! have been influenced in their treatment of France. They might have dismembered her ; but they adopted only such measures as were necessary to protect the world from the renewal of its former sufferings. This was a policy to which no one will deny the epithet of generous, and we trust and believe France will jus tify the other epithet applied by the speaker, that it was wise. HRITIHIi UARLIAM ftJNT.

COLONEL KURIL j Ji!\rl Or” ■■ rose to a* k the noble Viscount 1 i!t>pjsitc a jijestM.i on tins subject of (ho • Htll (Mien Rill; on the diseundon of w hich I they -vere about lo enter, tn reply to some • <>im rvt-made on a former nic*ht, the )noble Vis-tiynl i"WI staled that no Amerirnn jhftd ever lu oii sent o:t) oi’ ?}jr- ctmiury under ‘thcAt'en SiiU, <* ,|ro that no difficulty j ererorcarmi *• to *'.• wheth jer the AmerirKii ante w-ti were ?liens or | ro', Tv-:: ‘hr.) h dtinr cf-tvd, not iii-a. U* . vi. w ent re spectable authority, tUiit an American Lad been sent out of the country under the alien bill, and that that Atnerteao was Cot.Bjrr. | The noMe-viaedunf was not at that time a ! ble lo say whether that was the lease or nut, but had twirl he would enquire. He wished to know whether that enquiry had been made, auu how the matter stood ? Lord Sidmeuth h;iid,timt the noble eari’s statement had not been correct ; for, on ■ looking at the records in the office, he found ; that Colonel Burr had 00l been sent out of; this country umier the alien act, Earl Grey—Theo he mast have been mis- . informed as to that point; but he wished to know whether any had taken place with respect to Mr, Burr, and wheth er any dtfficMdties had, in the course of pro ceedings,'arisen on the question to which 116 had adverted ? Lord Sidmouth 3tated, that Mr. Bjrr had com 1 * to this country, and passed under a feigned name j that he had ehaeged that ivjjnej and passed under another feigned name j that government conceiving that he mishfchave had *ame improper object i view, apprehended him umier the alien act, but that no difficulty on the ease had arisen—- Government were convinced that he had ro improper object in view. He demanded passports for Sweden, received them nnd went out of the country, fie afterwards returned, and desired passports for Ameri ca, which were grunted. He was not sent *<ut of the country under the alien act, and no difficulty oeenrred. Lord Hoiland—Was there no question I whether he was alien or not ? Lord Bidmoulh—He did not say <bat tl'eie was no such, but there was no diiii- I cuity. Ear! Grey could no* eoncieve how it wes pcs - : ble that, when Burr was apprehended iiider the alien act, no difficulty should hHte occurred. Erst) on the Noble Vis -onut’s own statement, difficulties w.ust have oc’ U rid 5 at ’east so it appeared to him $ iul the best mode of settling the question i would be U produce the proceedings as to Burr from the reem ds of the office. It w?s a arrange doctrine for Ertg’wh iuwyer* to juiot iin that there w*i no necessity for their knowing the sueject upon which they writ to legUJutt*. Lrd Biilnfonth repected hi? statements as to Turr, i.nd said, that on his return to this attorney he h and sprJitd for a iicensefor res id;*n'*e, end vnluntpri'y submit,ted to the alien laws-—There wus ♦therefore, no difti cuhy io the case. Earl Grey asked, whether Burr had not on the ground if hj.9 bt ing Vorn in English ahegiance, oi jeckd to hi* deportation, as it w.i* c ;!!ed ; for thi * was no English mea sure, and no English name. *-■ Lord HnlKcd .sk; and, whether Burr had noA apT'Jied to be naturalized, ar.d had not been inarmed that he could not, as he couiti not sj<-y that he w..* bom cut of British al-| k’.uinnee ? Loid Sidmbuth said, he knew Bathing a-! hunt any suh circumstance. Lord Holland observed, that they ought j to be cautious about pausing an act to put; those powers io*o the hends of those Who, when questioned as to the manner of execu tion, had no answer to give, but that they know nothing about ihu matter. Lord Mdraoutb would say nothing as to the candour of the observation 5 but tbe j proceeding a* to Burr took place in 1808, j when he wn9 not in the Office of the Rome Department.; but, even if he had, he might, j not be able at once to recoileet every sepa - rate proceeding. i From the Southern Patriot .

Resolved, That all the members of the Senate & House of Representatives, who voted for the bill, are greedy, avaricious interested knaves ; that all thos* who voted against it, are canting, hypocritical, time-serving syco phants-—that those who took the money , are grasping and covetous receivers of stolen goods; a&d that those who refused, it, are mean-spirited popularity hunters* who would have taken it if they dared. 1 ah.
