AVe hope the good ftnfe of the
people out pf Bofton, will prevent
them from becoming the tools and
dupes of a party within it: We do
not attach any wilful mifcondult to
ipany who voted it, being fenfible
that fome are led by ignorance and
others by fear. We truft the Pre
fident will duly appreciate the ad
drcfs as it was evident to every man
prefen:, that no meafure was ever
adopted in Bofton on the federal
fide of the queftion, fo defective in
energy. There is no doubt the
federal party in this town are de
firous of a war with Prance in alli
ance with England, this no doubt
is their main object; but in the
prefect meafure they have com
pletely baffled their own purpofes,
and are bringing this country into a
war with England. If this partiali
ty is granted to Spain, the honor of
Britain in maintaining her treaty
rights is involved m the decifion.
The proceedings of the com
mercial and highly refpeltable town
of Salem, will operate as wormwood
on federalifm. It is to be hoped
they will not be alone in this patri
otic courfe. — Nat. Intel,

Gentlemen,
In conformity to the direfiions of
the town of Bofton, as above ex
prefled, we tnclofe you a copy of
tjhe petition to the Prefident of the
United States, and requeft you to
lay the fame before your inhabit
ants, that if they fee fit they may
adopt fimilar meafures. ,

To the Seleftmen of the Sown of Bofion,
Glni lemen,
We acknowledge the receipt
of your’s of the 10th inftant,
containing the proceedings of the
town of Bofton,’ relative to
petitioning the Prefident of the U
nited States to rc fufpend the em
bargo, either wholly or in part, ac
cording ro the powers veiled in
him by the Congrefs of the United
States, &c. and the requeft of the
town of Bofton, “ that the fame be
laid before the inhabitants of Salerno
that if they fee fit, they may adopt
fimilar meafures.”
We allure you, gentlemen, it will
afford us great pleafure to co-oper
ate with our fellow citizens of the
town of Bofton, in any and all pub
lic meafures which we believe wiH
promote the public good.
We view (as we have done from
the beginning) the embargo as a
wife and prudent meafure, peculiar
ly calculated to preferve the United
States from being involved fn the
Bloody contefts of Europe, and to
fecutc their commerce front cap--
ture and condemnation, under the
authority of Britijh Orders of Com
al and French Decrees, We confix
der that there can be no fafety in
renewing commerce, while thefe
Decrees and Orders of Council are
enforced ; and confidently believe
that the Prefident of the United
States’; without our interference,
will remove the embargo as loon
| is it can be done with fafety. In
f this view we are fully fupported by
the opinions of many of the moft
. .ipcdauiC aiiu
in Salem. ~
- We are alfo re her. five that the
meafure recommended, would be
actended with no falutary effects, but
rather tend to embarrafs the gov
ernment, excite irritation, and pro
mote divifion, already too appar
ent. We do not therefore deem it
ouf duty to call the inhabitnats of
Salem together to deliberate on the
fubjelt, unlefs urged to the meafure
by our own townfmen, according
to the provifions of the law. t
We are refpellfully your friendt
and humble Servants.

[The inhabitants of feveral other
towns have ailed fimilar to thofe of

The governments of Europe under
Bonaparte cannot produce niore evils

have hitherto fuffered—and this being
the cafe, we do hope that the wifdom

terminate in the amelioration of the
date of Jo tie ty. Thofe who believe in the
feripture t eve lat ions have ever confi
dered the days approaching , when the
diftordant paffions will ceafe, and thht
men will not learn war any more.—
The conduft of Bonaparte has in forhe
ihfianteS favored fuch an event, for
whenever he has fubjugated his ene
mies y he has purfued a principle more
humane than any conqueror either in
ancient or modern hifiory. The arts
and Jciences have been protcfted arid
encouraged—and we may fay, there
is more genius and Jciehtific knowledge
within the territories under the com
mand of the than within any
other quarter of the world .
The U. S. at this momentous crifis
Ore not called on to commence hofiili
ties againfi France more than Eng
land on account of the late orders and
decrees of the two nations. At this
period it is policy to keep without the
vortex of the prefint controverfy—for
it is certain , our aid can no more help
England to extricate herfelf from bdr
difficulties > than the numerous powers
which have hitherto attempted to do it.
It mu.fi therefore be the height of folly
for us at this eventful period to pre
fume to take up the conqueror. It is
our policy to keep'good fellowfhip at
home, and by every prudent means fo
fecure our property front the defalca
tion of both nations, without thinking
to better tittr condition by engaging iH
a war , under the fallacious idea , that
our energies are wanted to Jave Bri
tain and check Bonapate. As Britain
was the firfi caufe of the magnitude of
the French war , by Jubfidizing every
nation to commence hofiilities , and has
been the principal eaufe of Jubfiantiat
ing id increafing the power of France ,
let her get out of her difficulties , by
doing jufiice to thofe wbofe commercial
rights fhe has violated , and by limit
ing the rapacity* of her clams on the
ocean.
While the federalifis pretend to
dread the omnipotence of Bonaparte,
let them at leafi be civil tn their lan
guage towards him. They do andfay
all they- can to provoke his indignation,
and yet they arc confiantly lamenting
the danger of his refentments. He
has not yet (hewn a boftile difpojition
towards us in any proportion to the
Englrfhy and yet the Britijh Junto are
confi antly eulogizing the magnanimity
of tbcEnglfh „ and curfing the perfidy
of the French. If England was as
powerful as France, this country

greater violence than at prefent. (ci
vility and decency in our deportment
towards the French, are more falutary
than the grofs calumny daily publifhed
in the federal papers againfi them.

To the natives of Hayti , refiding hi
Foreign countries.
Citizens,
Your native country, which has
groaned under the misfortunes of a
civil War thefe two years paft, enjoys
now the bleflings of peace, the
comforts of profpemy, and the hap
pinefs of fociety. No more dif
tirtion, no factions henceforth fhaH
defolate this land any longer.
The monfter who had in con
templation the deftru<ftion of the
inhabitants of this unfortunate ifland,
is taken in his own fnares, and in
his overthrow will drag all thofe
pernicious men who have ferved
nis caufe. The moment of my
addrelling you, he has but a fmall
fpace of ground, where it is im
polible for him to hold out any.
time. Thofe deluded troops whom
he has deceived, and have found
out the errors in which he has en
tangled them, have deferted him.
Henry Chriftophe mtkft fall by the
hand? of his own party, or elfe put
an end to his horrid career with his
own hands, as his predeceffors have
done.
f truft our experience of paft mis for
tunes will teach us wifdom enough
to prevent feditious charaflcrs,
if there Ihould be any among us,
from deceiving us in future.—
Henceforth the people of Hayti
...... uv cue keepers of their oWS*-
liberty i they are fenfible of tiieir
true friends, and woe be to him
who Ihall dare once more to think
of leading them aftray again ; if
fuch an unthinking being could be
fo blind as to prelume to feize upon
the reins of this government with
out the unanimous confent of vete
rans, fuch crack-brained perfon
would pay for his folly as foon as
his intention would be known.
Natives of Hayti, if after having
rcliored union, peace and plenty a
fhongft my brethren, I could have
the fatisfa£tion to fee you return a
monft us, particularly thofe, among
others, that remain on foreign lands
on account of their timidity about
civil war j to thofe I fay, fear not
that ; this land fhall not in future
witnefs the like folly from its chil
dren., Oh! my dear brethren,
could my eyes behold your return
home, my talk would be fulfilled.
Children of Hayti,.return to your
native country , there is none elfe
where for you, but that where you
were born. Let your return to it
be for us the happy moment, that
reunites the members of one famfr
ly; that was compelled by common
misfortune, to part * -but who re
unitic again, to cherifh and protect

Let that worthy nation, and its im
mortal hero be ypur model in the
art of war, as well as its other vir
tues. , „
„ The Senate requeft me telf you
by this prefehf, that it fathfully pro
mifes to pay the paffage of thofe
