C'Viiv.unication.
A standard w..s presented on Saturday af-
ternoon, by Miss Mary (..base, (daughter
of the honorable S. Chase) to the troop cf
'• First StiTiimore Hiissars," commandea'by
Captain William H, barney, ill the presence
of a large and brilliant as.¦ emblaze at' specta-
tors. The trot p having been drawn up. in
full unifoim , be!, e tin tiousfc of the judge,
M Js Chase appeared in a dress of white
iatin, decorated in the Hussar style, Wear-
is g :n elegant military cap, embroidered in
goiJ, .with nodding plumes : Capt. Barney
advanced tow aids her, and saluted ; when,
li iWingth'e odors in her band, she address-
ed him in these words :
Sir, P. ui.it rue to present you with a
:a d ltd for the tioop Jon have the honor
to command. Admiring the patriot ardor
displayed by tin First P.ai.timore Hussars,
1 derive a high pleasure from the anticipa-
tion, that a banner, worked by my hai d,
will ever proudly wave where honor points
»nd'duty leads the way. Should a war,
which Heaven avert ! prove the only re-
source of our country against foreign ag-
gression ; when the trumpet sounds, may
the angel of \ ictory hover over the gallant
defenders of our rights, and their aftchieve-
inents in the field of fame, be crowned with
a glorious and lasting peace !
To which captain Barney replied :
Madam, As commander of the " First
Baltimore Hussars," 1 receive with the
highest sense of patriotic gratitude the very
elegant standard, you have honored them in
presenting.
in the event of a war, were any other in-
centive than duty necessary to their exer-
tions in defence of their insulted c .unfry ;
this proof of your approbation would of it
self, be a sufficient stimulus to an m te
their hearts with courage, and nerve twir
arms with strength. Be assured, that in
time of danger it will ever prove their rally-
ing point ; with it they will conquer, or
around it nobly perish.
.Accept) madam, the salutation of tne
troop.
Captain Barney saluted again, upon re-
ceiving the standard, and delivered it to
cornet M-Kim. The troop then p raided
twice before tne porch, where Miss Qhase
Stood ; the officers saluting as they passed.
The colois are richly worked in gold, on
a white lustring ground, relieved wish a ser
pentine border of crimson velvet, and or 1a
jnented with gold triage and tassi is The
beauty of design, and execution displayed
in the performance, evinces at once the
taste, ingenuity, and patriotism of the fair
artist. One side of the flag discovers an
eye, from which as their centre, rays di-
verge emblematical of the divinity ; mot-
to ** Non alius regnat," 4l Jehovah is our
King." On the reverse, is exhibited an
el gant gold cypher of the United States,
encircled by seventeen stars—Motto, " Uni
ta virtus fortior," " Virtue united is invinci
ble.'' Each corner of the flag represents a
grenade or bomb on five.
The colors are attached to a golden arrow
arid suspended from the staff in the Roman
style : the w bole surmounted by the Amer
ican Eagle, with expanded wings, grasping
ill its lalo'is a silver globe, representing the
world. The eagle wears a breast plate, on
which, by order ef the troop, the following
inscription has been engraved :
" Presented by Miss Mary Chase,"
Anno 1&07
" May this manifestation of female patri-
otism never be forgotton, while amor pa-
triae shall be esteemed a virtue."
Clarkson's Portraiture of Quakerism.
Extract from Aikins' Annual Review, for
» 1606.
After' having given a brief analysis of
Clarkson's Portraiture of Quakerism, the
reviewer finished as follows :
We have thus, as far as our limits would
permit, stated what are the contents of these
highly curious volumes. The book has been
Very extensively real, a laige edition having
been s< Id even before it was advertised. His
opinions upon the Lord's Supper deserve
consideration ; we have never seen the sub-
ject so ably treated. The book, however, is
to be considered not as a controversial woik.
but as a faithful Portraiture from t'he life of
the most leiiiarkable people existing among
in ;n people eminently flourishing, eminent-
ly happy< and eminently moral) and as an
nbit elucidatii r. of the principles which make
them so. Its publication will form as great
an era in the history of the socity, as thai
of their famous apology : it will induce all
persons to think respectably of the sect, and
perhaps, though it is written with no such
intuition, it may fad othirs to join it, for
there are still SEiiK&ftS' in the lanC We
must not omit to mention, that we know of
no modern book which is written in =o pure
and r,atii a! a style. [This work is for sale

Commumcation.
The following statement was made out,
with the intention of being signed by the
>ers of the late Grand Inquest and pre-
sented to the JuMgesof tlu:sCouit. Bui the
latter having' adjourned before the gentle-
men of the Giand Jury had an opportunity
of putting their names to it, it was not pre-
sented as intended.
The grand inquest for the hotly of Balti-
more county having discharged the ordina-
ry business, visited the prison and the sub-
scribers, Ic-te members of the inquest, be-
lieving that any privation or punishment not
inflicted on the prisoners by law, is a griev-
ance to the community, think it a duty to
state to the court of Oyer and Terminer and
Gaol Delivery, the injuries suffered by those
confined, from a want of repair and other-
wise imperfect condition of the county gaol.
The piaster hat faileti from the ceilings
of mariy parts of the house, by which the
apartments are rendered c Id and cann t be
¦White-washed or cleansed as effectually as
trie health of the prisoners would require.
The inquest were informed that the ceilings
have been in this situation for some years,
and that the falling of plaster, caused by
the water penetrating through the former
roof, is n t expected to happen again, the
present roof being tirdit.
S 'me of the apartments adjoining the
privies, though ventilated and occupied, as
well as a great portion of the passage's, are
so much infected by their commui ication
with those parts of the building, that it was
ith dread they were approached by any of
the members of the inquest, and others
were absolutely unable to withstand a
th rough inspection of the prisoners in those
apartments. T,ns the subscribers believe
to be the result of a defective construction
ot the privies, and that the noisoineness
might be partly removed, if not effectually
corrected by some slight alteration in the
carpenter's work thereof.
The prisoners lay on the floor using what
cloathing they possess for beddingas well as
covering, by which it mu.it be supposed
their clotbs are sooner worn out, and neither
them nor the floors kept as clean by wash-
ing or sweeping as they otherwise might be.
The subscribers think that the pris ners
would receive esential relief in this respect
it wooden fl o s were laid or frames elevated
about tvvo feet, in the manner used in guard
houses and some other prisons, and of auf-
ficient extent f/r the whole number of pri-
soners v. Erica can be accommodated in each
room.
Tnese circumstances claim the greater in-
terest of the court, from a consideration of
the very large portion of sick compared with
the present moderate number of prisoners.
him the inclemency of a winter season now
at hand and from the probable increase of
their numbers during the approaching recess
of the court, and the subscribers believe that
that the sum of one hundred and fifty
pounds which the levy court is authorised to
assess on the cily and county annually, lor
the repairs of the goal, would be adequate
to the expense at most, if not all, of there-
pans and alteiations herein contemplated.
But ibey also believe that n< care which is
now in the power of the officers to whom

number p) sufferers by disease and vermin ;

court by all its authority and influence.
Extract of a letter, dated Aux Caycs, gth
Sept. 1807.
General Yayou is no more, he was kill-
ed by his own soldiers in attempting to
bribe them to fight against Petion ; we hear
also that general Lamarre has beat Christo-
phe and in ail probability he will be taken,
and then we shall be once more at peace.
To the Editor of the Federal Gaxcttc.
Sir,
The writer in the American, wh< pretends
to attack my last essay, is so whimsical in
his departure from all the order even of po-
litical controversy, that I can hardly per-
suade myself he is in earnest : first in anti-
cipating the obvious sentiments of his anta-
gonist, a» if they were exclusively his own—
and then, left he should be .again called out
on ground he fears to tread, be asks, with
true aristocratic arrogance, " why do busy,
meddling politicians strive to divert the pub-
lic attention," &c. Who asked him to meddle
with the subject ? If he could not un-
derstand the principal points in the original
letter, why did he not ask advice before he
cxpo.icd himself to the shafts of any one
disposed to make him an object for ridicule \
But not to take up too much of your
time, I accord with hun and every Ameri-
can advocate for the measures that muit nmu
be taken in support of our injured honor.
But I do not stop there: I am for sifting the
subject to the bottom, to prevent future er-
rors ,f the kind on the part of the servants
oftlx- peoples
Sir, it is universally asserted, that in order
to save the trifling expence ot a few cruisers
of our i,iv>c to deiend ourOv.11 coasts, the
British have been invited to occupy our own
cruising ground, to keep off piratical crui-
sers. The consequence of such foreign
protection has beet) as we might expect.
To judge of the injury sustained by bur
dishonorable parsimony, it is staled that our
experts were annually 101. millions, and im-
ports near the same amount ; that our
coastwise and inland negotiations made
up the m hole amount to near tttfo millions
for diem ! Notoj if by a blew, the conse-
quence ot bad policy and of ill timed parsi-
mony, we have lost halt our trade, we have
good cause to complain of that ' economy"
so prized by thoie vho will not understand
the best interests of the country;
And now, sir, to show my farcical op-
ponent his error in supposing that " loads,
and jealous rivals, and British admirals,"
had nothing to do with the dispute between
us and Britain, I hope he will look at the
•whole subject with the cleaiest pair of the
best political spectacles he can obtain. It
he does not then see as I do, he must indeed
be pa^t praying tor.
And now, sir, to be again serious, let us
tal.e the advice of Mr. Jefferson, in his
" Notes" and of "Common Sense," in his,
original 'pamphlet, who theiein have proved
to us, not only the necessity, but an immense
profit to result from a navy built at home, of
cur crwn materials, and theieby circulating
among all classes of the community a suffi-
cient -urn to encourage every useful branch
ot our varied occupations, for the harmony
and pro pi rity, and for the protection and
.'1 t.:c American union.
