BOSTON, May 17.
".Anived, brig Henry, of Portland, capt.
Sawyer, 20 days from Havana.
A number of ^eSsels coastwise.
May 38.
Captain Atkins, arrived here on Saturday,
from Tangonia was boarded on the 2d April
by a British sloop of war, the lieutenant of
v/hich informed him, that onthfc BSth March
he fell in with a British schooner, 7 days
from Algiers, and received from the captain
the following intelligence : " That the U.
S.. frigate Constitution, arrived at Algiers
from Tunis, two days before he sailed; with
information that the English under Sir Syd-
ny Smith, and admiral Louis, had taken
A lexandria, and afterwards proceeded for the
Dardanelles."
Arrived, brig Joseph of Plymouth, capt.
Bartlett, 46 days from Bayonne.
In consequence of the French imperial
decree having been adopted m Spain, it will
be very dangerous to come to that country,
with any sort of English manufactures or
colonial.produce, as they are subject to con-
fiscation. All Americans ought to bring
other certificates, signed by the French and
Spanish consuls, to prove the property not
to be of the English settlements.
NEW-YORK, May 20.
Arrived,
The sc.hr. Catharine, Rumsey. 9 days from
Swansbuty, m. c.
The ship Fanny-Almira, Hicks, arrived at
Amboy, in 35 days from Sligo. Left ship

delp.li.i
On the trial of the ship Fanny & Alinira,
Mix, captured on her passage from Bordeaux
to this port, by his Britannic majesty's ship
of war Cambrian, the judge of the vice-ad-
miralty court at Halifax condemned as good
and lawful prize all that part of the cargo
which belonged to Mr. James Vittalot, of
this city, who was a shipper out and home.
Captain Mix, in his answer to the usual in-
teiroi'.atoi'ies, gave it as his opinion that it
was French property, because it was shipped
by a Frenchman, consigned to a man with a
French name, and because to his knowledge
it is not unusual for French property to be
smuggled into the U. S. in that manner ! !
The said capt. Elijah Mix, also declared,
that, if she (the Fanny and Almira) had ar-
rived save at her destined port, the part he
has stated to belong to Daniel Green and
BbeneZer Townsend would have immediate-
ly become their property. With regard to
the remainder of tlie cargo it would have
been delivered to the consignes or their or-
der, but whose property it would become he
does not know, any further than he b
it is and would become French property. .

was upset near Craney-Island, on board of

Mr. Crawford, copper-smith, and a mulat-
to boy, ah of whom, it is feared, are lost,
as they have not since been heard of. Mr.
Davidson has left a wife and three or four
children to bewail their loss. It is said other
boats have been lost, and that numbers of
trees have been blown down.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
Long and ineffectually have federalists la-
bored to arouse the sleeping spirit of the na-
tion. Still a deaf ear is turned to the best
reasoning of those who will not subscribe
to the infallibility of our present rulers. But
the pacific temper of a magnanimous people
may degenerate into contemptible cowardice
or imbecility ; and things may arrive at
such a crisis as to awaken all well disposed
citizens who sleep in unreal security. We
find one of the present administration's
greatest idolizers on a sudden adopting the
language and embracing the sentiments of
the country's best friends : we find the
" American Citizen," (the associate Dicta-
tor, who presides, with the " Aurora," over
democratic editors) speaking out in language
very unlike that which belongs to his party,
but which wiil no doubt be listened to by
that party—and will have a better chance
of exciting attention than would any thing
that could be said by a federalist. Mr.
Cheetham (a foreigner] seems to feel like an
American, and delivers bis sentiments with
an apparent independence of wliat Duane
may say of him.
Whether Mr. Cheetham wishes to see Mr.
Clinton in the presidential chair, and deems
this the best expedient for effecting his pur-
pose ; whether he really sees in its proper
light, the degraded state of America, sub-
jected as she is to the insults and contumely
of every assailant ; or, whether he really
and at last speaks the fair language of his
heart; we have no right to inquire.
The following ren.urks on the procedure
of the Driver sloop of war, we republish
with but one objection ; it is this ; we will
not. acknowledge that " alt Mr administra-
tions were alike inefficient"—as we have not
forgotten the anxiety of Washington to
place the country ina properstate of defence,
nor the desire of Adams to extend the
works commenced by his great pree.i -ssor.
From the N. Y. American Citizen.
" I know not, and care but little, how
the remarks which I am now about to make
will be received. During my seven years
editorship 1 have expressed my opinions of
passing events independently, leaving the
reader to judge of them as he may think fit.
" If the letter of capt. Love does not raise
the indignation of every man that reads it to
the highest pitch, our prospect of remaining
long an ini>u" m>i-\ i nation is not very flat-
tering. I have no recollection of ever hav-
ing read any thing so insolent and insulting.
" But what belter can we expect? Nations
are like individuals. This is an old doc-
trine ; and new doctrines at this old time,
however they may flatter the multitude,
.will not pass with the reflecting. If indivi-
dual A. will suffer individual B. to kick and
maltreat him without due resistance, he can
hardly imagine any limit to suffering.
" Cool calculations of pecuniary benefits, or
other considerations equally mean, have in-
duced us to bear not a little kicking with
Job-like patience. The Spanish jackall has
contemptuously " spit upon our gaberdine,"
and we have very admirably and almost
without a murmur, wiped it off. The British
lion, more daring, has preyed upon us in our
very houses, without meeting with the re-
sistance which self-preservation requires.
Insult, borne patently and withcut resist-
ance, invites insult. We know it theoreti-
cally, and we witness it in practice.
" One of the ends of Political society is
to defend itself by the means of its union,
from all insults or violence from without.
If the society is not in a condition to re-
pulse an aggression, it is very imperfect ;
it wants its principal support and cannot
long subsist. The nation ought to p"ut itself
in. such a state as to be able to repel and hum-
ble an unjust enemy. This is an important
duty, which die care of its perfection, and
even preservation itself imposes both on the
state and its conductor."
'* Are we in a condition to repulse an en-
emy from without ? Certainly not, general-
ly speaking, and particularly in this quarter.
We are not placed in a condition by govern-
ment to enable us to defend ourselves. This
important fact, which stares us in the fsce
and brings insults upon us, should induce
us to prevail with government to do us jus-
tice. I make no invedious comparisons. All
our administrations have been alike ineffici-
ent and indifferent in that particular ; it is a
fault common to all parties ; and if, as I sus-
pect, it is principally owing to the great in-
fluence of Virginia in congress, I may be
allowed to say that that influence should be
diminished."
yVe have received (by Gray's packet) from
our attentive Norfolk correspondent, papers
of the i9th and manuscript marine articles
—see Norfolk head. The " Herald" gives
an animated description of the splendid ce-
lebration of the Great Jubilee at James-
Town ; and says " It -was a sjiectacle which
Goes might look down upon and envy" ! ! !
The following was the order of procession :
The dawn was announced by a discharge
of cannon from the shore, and some tunes
from an"excellent band of music, which was
returned from all the vessels stationed on"
the island that were mounted with guns.—
About ii o'clock a procevien in the follow-
ing order was formed :
The band of music playing " Boyne Wa-
