March 17. —The chancel
lor of the exchequer has ad
jo rued until Monday week the
examination of the new taxes,
which proves that the lights he
has obtained and perhaps the
new state of things, have de
termined him to have recourse
to anew system of finances.
Consequently, we advise the
public to be prepared for the
renewal of the property tax,
with all its inquisitorial forms.

“ BEAUXY & BOOTY.”
“The Centinel, and other papers
labor in the lame vocation,
(the cause of his Majelty) under
take to deny that “ Beauty and
Booty” were the coumerfign”
and “watch-word” of the enemy
at New Orleans on the night pre
ceding the action of the Bth Janua
ry ; and from the circumrtance a
lone of the attack being made in
the day-time, “ when no countcr
figh or watch word is used,” they
expeiltofave the character of their
friends from so foul a (lain. The
fact is, however, attested by those
on the fpot,and thus placed beyond
circumstances or probability. But
all military men know likewise the
attack being make at break of day,
and intended earlier, a connterfign
and watch-word would, agreeable
to cuflom, have been given either
to prepare their troops by anticipa
tion for the morning’s operations,
or U?e used as time and occasion
might require. Tile prailice is in
variable, and is designed more as a
ftitnulant to exertion than for real
use or needfity. * Thus when the
brave Gen. Wayne was perfidi
oufly attacked by the fame enemy
at Paoli, and many of his men bayo
netted without refinance at mid
night and while begging for quar
ters, the General, with those of his
troops who escaped the savage mas
sacre, burned with ardor for revenge.
The opportunity soon arrived, and
after planning his attack, he gave
for his watch-word, “Remember Pa-

informed him that the Britfth {hips

and the Acafta frigate, arrived at
Barbadoes on the firft of April,

We are informed, bv the arrival
of the brig Commerce, in 90 hours
from New-York, that the U. States’
frigate CONSTITU (ION has ar
rived at an Eastern port.
(Savannah Republican.
It is now all. and believed,
that notwithstanding the treaty of
peace, G. Britain will withdraw
from the Canadas no part of her
regular troops in those provinces.
This has ftartied feme of our poli
ticians, who begin to suspect that
the peace will no: be of long dura
tion, and may be really no better
than a truce. Should the Bririfii
after the principal part of our lit
tle army has been disbanded, hesi
tate to deliver up the important
American ports in their poffeilion,
Forts Niagara and Michilimaekin
ac for inrtance, or fiiouid they cavil
about the true conftructton of any
article of the treaty, it will place
our government in a very auk ward
fituaiion. While we are diiarmed
and almort defencelefs, our adver
sary will be completely prepared to
renew the contest, {hould interert,
ambition, or wounded pride prompt
him to do so. Subjects of dispute
will not be fought for in vain, if
our late enemy be disposed to act
perfidioufly. Restitution of the
territory ceded by the Creek Indi
ans to the United States may be
demanded by them, if a pretext,
and a pretext only, {hould be
wanted for the renewal of hortili
ties. It {hould be recollected, that
Admiral Cockburn has pledged to
the Creek Indians the faith of his
Government, that they {hall be re
rtored to all the privileges and pos
sessions they had at the commence
ment of the war. This promise
vve believe will be very little re
garded by the Britifn Government,
unless from our unguarded situati
on, they can find their interert in
making demands neither warranted
by jurtice nor by the treaty lately
concluded.
Under these circumrtances it be
comes matter of speculation, whe
ther the President will not exercise
the diferetionary power verted in
him, of delaying till the next fef
fion of C.ongrefs, the difeharge of
any troops except those whole term
of service has expired with the
wax. — Georgia journal,.
By a whimsical accident, ttie of
ficial notice of the ratification of
the treaty of peace was not received
at New Orleans so early as it {hould I
have been. An exp refs was pro- .
vided to cany to General Jackson !
with all poffinle dispatch a copy
of the ratified treaty —the exprels
arrived at New-Orleans and deliv
ered to Jackson his uifpatches, but
guess the attoniihment of the old
General on breaking the seal to
find not the treaty, but an old or
der from the War Department to
call out three regiments or militia l
The mistake is laid to have occur
red by changing the packets at
fome port-office on the road—but
it is more likely that it happened
in the hurry of bu fin el's at Waft*
