understanding reigned among the great powers; £* m I 7 ranee, the attachment to the person and government of Louis was more and more confirmed. 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. Morn . Chrcn . FRIEND &T>l •ON'ITOIC 4 FRIDAY, MayTZ 1 ■ t* An examination of the students of the Washington Academy, will take place on the last of this month. Parents, guardians and citizens, who feel anixous for the welfare of the inilitution are invited to attend. “ 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- This was an honorable ap peal to the feelings of injured freemen, and stimulated Ameri cans to viilory. While Britain, with her mercenary and difaffeiled holts, aimed at the virtue of our fair countrywomen and the proper ty in the rich city of New Orleans, It thank God, their vile objects ire overthrown; the defeat of eir mercenary legions was as un ampled, as the baseness of the oti|tes held cut to them.

Captain Selby, of the schooner I S:lby, which arrived at this port i yesterday from Guadaloupe, in i forms us, that on the 9th of April, I in lat. 24. 4, long. 65, he spoke the’ cartel brig Elizabeth, Cap:.

NT. Com Ad'r. 21 st April. • CO NS TITUT/oNTa RRIVED X We are informed, bv the arrival of the brig Commerce, in 90 hours from New-York, that the U.

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* ington.
