Reason to believe from passing events
iii the United Mates, that the sud.den
and unexpected termination cf hostili
ties with our enemy is bottomed on the
prospect of their partisans in America,
accomplishing the object for which they
were contending without further fight*
ing. “ Watch therefore for yc know
not tfrhat hour the spoiler may come.’’—
Why do not our opponents investigate
our policy, why Hot expose it, to public
View that the people may be apprised
of the baneful effect it may produce ?
The reason is obvious, because everjr
investigation would be so many daggers
to their scheme—the more it is develo
ped* tlie more the people would see
their interest in it, and of course the
’ more they would be united to it. If we
are in an error we would, faiti be rectifi
ed—if our views of government be at
variance with the liberties and interests
of the community iVe
retract with acknowledgments, and in
stead of taking umbrage, would acknow
ledge our obligations for tKe favor. We
are often told wfe are wrong in our po
licy without being informed whfcreio—
we are often entreated to retract without
being told from what ; we, invite the
opposite party to examine our principles’
and publicly condemn them, for if they
will not,bear investigation they are un
worthy of a man. It is remarked that
the advocates of the authority contend
ed for can dot be suited in gp time for
their piinciples to be, revealed. In
lime of war they contend that we ought
to lay down all partyism, aivd join heart
find hand to repel our common foe> and
. after the termination of the war resume
our party quarrels. In time of peace
when we see our laws trampled on> if
we complain* or’ like free meft undertake
to assert our rights and express our
disapprobation of a measure we are
called peace breakers, and but for our
virulent bickerings and uncharitable
reproaches, we might dwell in a sUie
of complete tranquility and enjoy our
selves ip a high glee of jocularity, since
all is peace and safety, but republicans
rempmber “ that when men cry peace
and safety then is the time that sudden
destruction cometh.’*
I would enquire what inconvenience
we have experienced under the present
form of government without the exer
cise of the authority how contended for
by the Judiciary ; and admitting one or
ttwo salutary instances could be recited,
it would be no proof but wbattwo would
experienced with it, where
one ,{ias been without it. In all the at
tempts tp ju.stify the measure not one
bas keen made to shew the benefits which
may arise from it, save one faint and
indirect attempt made by the Grand
.Jury, while .speaking of the Govern
or’s right to the rejection of a law and
same, {''as it respects the benefits )
will apply to the Judiciary* To afford
conviction of the utility of the authority,
they have placed it in opposition to an
obnoxjdUs legislative act, such as the
ablution of election or the establish
ment of a particular religion. But this
shew is well calculated to investigate
the danger of the authority, instead of
the utility of it; for by-fixing the author
ity the court could nullify a salutary
act as easy as an obnoxiQus one. Until
1 can be convinced that our interest in
election and religion is more secure in
the hands of an individual than in a le
gislative council,, J shall contend that
the particular circumstance; which the
Jury have placed before us is calculated
to afford tjie strongestfpossible conviction
of the danger of the measure instead, of
the benefits of it. But the Jhirjr
sin the plenitude, of their wisdom fiave
mistaken an effect for a cause ; they
charge the convention with sedition.—
It is a notorious fact throughout the
atatedhat harmony abounded under the
alleviating bw, with but few exceptions,
Until the Judiciary pronounced it uncon
stitutional, from which, as the cause, all
the abounding disquietude has accrued.
Every nmi> oi sense in the state knows
i t to be the cause of the present tumult.
The number of resolutions passed by
different conventions throughout the
state, are the effect produced by the a
foresaid decision, as the baneful cause
of all, which more properly constitutes
the act of the judiciary sedition than
that of the convention. But with the
jury the judiciary is right and every
body else wrong. The subject With
those views of it is respectfully submit
ted to the public by ■« w 4 ‘%

Nothjng new, very important, from Europe—
Napoleon still in Paris, tranquility prevailed, but
war measures were going on very rapidly, and
from the harmony and union existing atpong the
French, the utmost good was expected to result
from it. . , w
A dreadful revolution has taken place in Algi
ers—on the 23 March the Dey was deposed and
murdered by the military, and his first minister
raised to sovereign,power—l6 days after the ne\y
Dey shared the same fate of, his predecessor—all
was tumult and consternation at Algiers.
* nr*’.;:
On the 24th April, the Americans at. Paris
gave a dinner to Mr. Crawford, our late Minister
there, as a testimony of .their respect for him.—
The follqwing toasts were given—
May the prosperity,of the United States of A
merica in peace, be equal to the military renown
acquired during {he war. The of the
United States, under whose administration the
United States has acquired immortil glory by her
arms, and.an honorable peace. The treaty -of
Ghent the plenipotentiaries of tha, United Srstteb
will find their reward in the graritude of the. A
merican people. The army and navy of the Uni-’
ted States., France ; may she enjoy the blessings
of peace and a good government. The liberty of
the seas ;no more burnings or impressments. The
allies and France ; reason and justice to the oiie,
courage and confidence in God {p the other.
From the Norfolk Herald.
Communicated.— Arrived the schr. • Har
riot, captain Applewhite, 12 days from the Island ,
of St. Thomas*, touched at Barbadoes, and was <
boarded by the American Agent, Mr Storm, who j
treated him very politely, and informed him that;
he could not be permitted into any Island to trade
under the dominion of Great Britain ; and that if
any of the American vessels did enter such ports,
and weighed anchor, and continued four hours,
rheir vessels would be considered as lawful prizes
by the British Government.—He therefore having
the utmost confidence in Mr., Storm for the kind
and generous treatment received of him, do recom
mend, all Masters of vessels and Merchants ,
ding to that port tabe cautious how they . proceed
and beware of any intrigue of the trading men of
that Island: for as soon as they perceive an Ame
rican vessel enter, they board for the purpose of
raking every advantage —He therefore/ for the
benefit of the United States, who trade, to any port
inthe West-Indies, and happen to touch at Bar
badoes, and wishing informs ion, tomake applica
tion to Mr. Storm, an Agent m whom they may
depend upon as a man of the first information.
It was currently reported that when Bonaparte
entered Paris and saw Carnot, who, was the first
person he sent for he addressed him thus,«»« You
are the only man who told me tru.h before my
reverses.” “ Hire/* replied Carnot, ** do you
wish l should continue to speak the truth ?’* 1
require it.*’—“ Well, Sire, France will, and must
have a free constitution * ** I will- give it to her *
lam determined she shatj have it.*! Such is the
and alogue which is said to have passed between tft§se
two extraordinary men; the one a republican, who
never unbent the rigidity of* principles, and the
other a, mah, who after having rioted in the full
ness of arbitrary power, j%d brought, even
archs and nations to obey his mandates, now pro
fesses to strip himself ofhis restored authority, to
revive and consolidate the. rights and liberties of
his people. . if*.
