| i For the Federal Gazette. I have perused with ranch satisfaction, the volume of poems which Mr. Barry has presented to the public. The versification i-. correct, the measure harmonious, and the sentiment- unexceptionable, The'co itents are miscellaneous, including didactic eligi- ac, complimentary and amatory effusions.... Two or three of these poerus have already been applauded by readers ot taste, and it is hoped that the enncouragement which Mr. Barry has received in the publication ot this collection of poems from his juvenile exertions, may animate him to offer us the fruits of bis genius, now his mind is con- siderably matured. The following extracts are, it is believed, a fair exhibition of the entertainment which the purchaser may expect from this Collec- tion. TO M.jr, You tell me, Mary, with a tear, That all our hours of bliss ate over, And bid m», as I hold you dear, Forget that 1 was once your lover. That fortune with malignant joy, Still seeks our kindred hearts to sever, And gently charge your faithful boy, To fly from grief and you forever. Ah ! how can he repress the sigh, Whose fondest hopes forever wither, Condemned to part he knows not why; Condemned to roam, he knows not whi- ther. Yet, thy lov'd mem'ry dearest maid, Where 'er he stray, he'll fondly cherish, Nor shall it for a moment fade, Nor but with his existence perish. Front lines on his Brntker's death. Far from his weeping friends and native shove. A.h ! could just heaven his cruel tate decree, In death'* eofd arms he sank, to rise no mire, " And left the world to wretchedness and UK*'— Awl though no pomp,no honour jrrac'd his bier, Norpndf-ador-n'd his modest grave witliart, Yet o'er i- is fate shall friendship shed the tear, That speaks the mournful language of the lo art. Written in a Laty's Prayer B ioi. When death shall come to close the span, * <)' life We've measuv'd here, Oh ! then it will be swe< t to scan, The past. Without a tear. Wh"n thy last solemn hour is night And thy last sigh is given. May angels wait attendant by To point rhy way to heav'n. •'.The following verse, page 81, is beauti- ful from the aptitude and propriety of the quotation. Nor ought€ould now the wido w'dmother save, She, us the gales announced their parting knell, Bow'd " her grey hairs in sorrow to thi grave," And bade a treacherous world a long fare- t shall not at present -pedantically fill my echr.

The whole of the volume indeed, may be thus characterised ; yet, these are sufficient proofs of Mr. Barry's abi- lity to rise far above marriage congratula- tions and the soft breezes of love, to the Stronger and more durable record of those events which will deeply interest every class of his readers. One such subject might easily be mentioned—but the poet may him- self select. QUI TAM. THE HONEST POLITICIAN. No. I. 0 N/rvis, referant in mart te no-oif Vluctus, 0 quid agis ? From tyranny's devouring -wave, Our Country, Gnd if Freedom, some. 1 am one of those who firmly believe, that, ¦whatever may he the merit of our present constitution, if we are involved in War, that constitution will be forever annihilated : that the existence of republican institutions will cease from the face of the earth ; and that peace will not return to bless this once happy la id, but with some bold adventurer ; some military chieftain, seated on the Imperial throne of America; unless, indeed, Bonaparte shall select some minion ofhis own for that purpose. With these strong impressions on my rnind, at the same time, from my natural temper and disposition, averse from scenes of blood-shed and carnage, anxiously solicit- ous for the happiness of my country, and yet alive to its honour ; it becomes all im- portant before too late, before the bloody riiWcon is passed, to seriously and dispassi- onately examine, what are the claims, in Support of which, or the injuries to revenge which, weave about to beat the plough-share into swords, and the pruning hook into spears. Another question, though not of equal importance, but yet of great magnitude, 35,"- How came we to be in our present situ- ation ? Whose fault, hath it been that those differences which now threaten to desolate our sea-poi rs, and to change our fertile plains to a wilderness, have not been amicably ad- justed ?" I have no small stake to hazard :~but were not ihis the case, as a yet free citi- zen of a yet free country, I have a right with decency to examine these or any other Subjects ; and it is my duty so to do. It is understood, that on the part of our government it is insisted that British subjects, though even deserters and mutineers, shall not only be protected on shore, but also when sailing on the ocean, shall not be taken out of our merchantmen—much less out of our national vessels ; but shall be in each instance as safe and under as sacred protection as it they were re iding on shore, within the jurisdiction of the United States. This is understood to be the ground of war, as far as relates to the claim which our go- vernment wishes to support. And as to the i'.jury, to revenge which w<> are called upon to wage vvaf, it is the attack made by the Leopard upon the Ches- apeake, and the forcible capture of certain seamen, whs were on board of her. On beth these SnbjrCts 1 shall trouble our legislators now assembled in congress ; for it is tor the wise and virtuous of that body, tin- real friends of niy country, (and many sn.li I hopi a> .1 believe time to be,) it is fti fthera that 1 write. essays with scraps and quotations from the musty and worm eaten, as I think it was, Genet called them, authorities on the law of nations, not because I do not highly res- pect those rich mines of. gold; but because an appeal to go d sense, to an udtuarped un- derstanding, to the koncst feelings of an un- sophisticated heart, is, as it appears to my mind, all that is necessary, It has been laid down by some, perhaps by most of those who have expressed their ideas to the public on the questions which I am about to discuss as a first principle, that if the subjects of a government violate its laws by the commission of crimes, however atrocious, and escape into a foreign nation, the government into whose territory they have escaped, is under no obligation to deli- ver up the criminals to the'offended justice of that country from which they* fled, altho' the executive of that country Should demand them. They tell us, that snppose Great- Britain and America in a state of peace and harmony, an American citizen may, in cold blood, murder his best friend, rifle his coffers, and reduce his family to beggary ; may for- cibly violate the chastity of the most res- pectable lady in the community ; nay, of his sister, of his daughter ; may rob the bank, even burn a city, and though black with all these horrid crimes, should he be able to get across that ideal line, which divides the United States from Canada, he is at once in a sanctuary. He may there live in the enjoy- ment of the fruits of his villainy ; he may set at defiance the laws which he had violat- ed, scoff at the fear of punishment, and all; this under the protection of the British go- vernment, -which is bound by n® law of na- tions to surrender him, though demanded by the United States, -which if it refuse, gives no just cause of complaint on account of that refusal, -which by- so doing is only charg- ; able with a mere breach of comiiy, a want ; of politeness, which to be sure would render | it improper that it should expect the meri- | can government to surrender its criminals ; but nothing more ! Strange doctrines indeed! and which one would suppose required something more than mere assertion for their support—Every feel- ing of the soul revolts at them ! But let us test this doctrine. In this country—in every civilized country, the man who harbors, who conceals, who protects a murderer, a robber, or any other great and atrocious criminal, participates in his guilt, and becomes equally criminal. Why ? Be- cause he thereby makes the acthisown—he declares his approbation of it—be encoura- ges others, from the piospert of impunity, to commit the same or other crimes-—he strikes at the safety, at the existence of society. And I pray you, has a government, being in a state of peace and harmony *ith us, a greater right to promote, advise orencourage the murder ot our citizens, the robbing or despoiling them of their goods, the burning of our towns, because the crime is to be commited by an American citizen, than it would have to send one of its own subjects among us to pepetrate such horrid deeds ? And by the reception and protection of such criminals doth not the government so doing make the crime itsown,declareits approbation thereof encourage others, fn m the pro- pect of impunity, to similar deeds, as much as in the other case, where it is done by an individual of the same country with thecn- minal ' and doth it not equally strike at the safety and existence of society, as to the go- vernment where the crime was committed ? Can there then be a man on earth so lost to every moral sentiment, as to subscribe to such a monstrous doctrine ? Are not go vernments, in the great society of nations te'ated to each other, as individuals are to each other in the society composing their governments ? And may one government act towards another government, in time of peace and harmony, consistent with the law of nations, in a manner which would be highly infamous and criminal in one private individual to another ! But as a proof that the law of nations doth not require criminals in any case to be delivered up, though demanded, we are re- ferred to clauses in treaties, where stipulati- ons have been expressly made for that pur- pe,. ; and the provision in the 37th article of our treaty of Amity, C aimerce and Na- vigation with Great-Britain, commonly tai- led Jay's Treaty, has been mentioned ; and mentioned in such a manner as seems to have admitted, that if the treaty had yet been in force, the British government would have had a ri^ht to claim their deserters and rnu- 'ineers ; but as it hath expired, the giving thc-m up is now a mere matter of comity. To this I need only answer, provisions in treaties are wholly inconclusive as to the question. Whoever has beenjeonversant in treaty learning well knows, that nothing is more common, than their containing ex- press stipulations in cases where the laws of nations had amply provided. Besides that aiticle only extends to per- sons, who are charged witii murder or forg- ery. Was itftherefore ia existence, it would not extend to mutineers or deserters. As to these, the expiration or continuance of that treaty cannot alter the case—The right of a government to claim these must depend on other ground than the treaty. And here, before I end this essay, let me just observe that the right to claim criminals, whether it be a perfect or an imperfect right ; whe- ther sanctioned by the law of nations or de- pendant only on the.comity of governments, yet it belong to a state ef feace: It is the same, though every natian in the universe were in thejjutmost harmony and o-ood will with each other. It grows not out of a state of war; It has nothing to do with that set ef rights or duties, which in a state of war arise and exist between the belligerent & the neutral pon'ers; \U.'u he continued.*] •PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.

NEW.YORK, Nov. 14. ARRIVED 1JII3 DAY. Brig Dean, Edgar, Savannah, 6 ays Extract of a* letter from a gentleman, dated Buenos-Ayres, July 15, to a friend in Philadelphia. " At the pe iod Of Beresford and Pop- ham's capture of Buenps-Ayres, its inhabit- ants knew no other weapon than the knife, and of that they were not sparing. The in difference with which Beresford viewed them, prevented his taking the necessary precaution, which occasioned his capture in the main square of the city with 1500 men —had he taken the precaution of sending twelve of the principal men of the place on board his fleet, all would remain secure to him. The reinforcements he expected, took possession of Maldinado, entrance of ,:ape St. Mary's, where the)' were joined by gen. Auchmuty, who ii a brother to a Mr. ¦' uch- muty that lives in Providence, Rhode Island. He attacked Monte Viedo with about 3 500 men, and gallantly carri.-d that garrison by assault, and althni«h he lost 500 men, he behaved with lenity and humanity to the inhabitants. "On the QO'li February, gen. Beresford and col. Pack escaped from here : the for- mer went h-me for trial, and the latter was acquitred of breaking his parole, by a court of offieers at Monte Viedo. on account of a Certain capistulationwith gen Liliers which the Spaniards did not adhere to, and on ac- count of the severity of the Spaniard' to fhi- prisoners in the interior. Liuiers as serts that the capitulation entered into, was granted three days after tin? re conquest, and only with a vie-v of saving Beresford from censure at home. P.ick took the com- mand of Colononia with i200 men, which caused the Spanish government here to pro- claim him and offer 6000 dollars for his head. A col. Eli), lat.lv from Spain, was sent against Pack with 2000 men, and after two actions, he requested to be recalled, not being able to bring the Spanish troops to stand neither charge nor fire. Gen White-, locke having arrived as commander in chief, a«d followed by gen. Crauford : they oh the, 28th June, landed an army of about 9000 men at Knsinada without opposition, altho' but 36 miles from this city. On the first July, the advanced guard under gen Gower crossed the Baraks creek, 8 miles from town, received no check, although Liniers was out wi*h 4000 men. On the 9d they entered the suburbs in the west, where they had a smart action, took ten pieces of own non from the Spaniards, and separated Li- niers from his flying troops for twenty-four hours. The 3d and 4th, little was done by the assailants, and on Sunday, the 5th, the fatal day to the honor of England, the or- ders were given for a general attack in 12 ci lumns. Gen. Auchmuty with a brigade of 2000 men to take the Retero or Place de Thora, general Crauford with col. Pack, and iOOO men, to take post at the church of St. Domingo, and the others under gpn. Lumsley and the different colonels to enter the streets from the west. Liniers finding there was bnt little dependence on his troops in the usual mode of attack, directed them to the houses, sunk ditches at every street, acd placed cannon in the rear of the en- trenchments. The houses being flat roofed w ith parapets, made a safe breast work for the Spaniards. General Auchmuty with his brigade of the 87th, 38th and 5th, car- ried the Retero in a most gallant manner, lost 500 and took 550 prisoners. The co lumns from the west having the unfortunate orders to penetrate into the streets with fix- ed bayonets, they got nearly to the centre, but having nothing to face but blank walls, and being most cruelly galled from the houses, they were obliged to fall back after leaving the streets filled wiC' their slain and losing many prisoners. Crauford maintain- ed his post from seven in the morning until four, and not finding his expected support from the west, was obliged to surrender with 750 men. On the 6th flags of truce passed, and on the 7th was signed a suspension of arms, which leaves a stain on British tactics, which all the water of the Thames can ne- ver wash off. The fault must lye at the door of generals Whitelock and Gower, for not a man from a colonel to a private, who had been in action that did not do his duty. At the time ot their making this treaty or capitulation, they had lost 2000 prisoners about 1250 killed and wounded, which left them about 60OO chosen troops, £000 of which never came into action ; they had possession of a secure and elevated encamp- ment at the Bitero, l-3d into the city, with a field of artillery of 40 pieces taken there, they had an uninterrupted intercourse with their fleet of 90 sail from there, they had 2000 men at their demand from that fleet, they had gun-bngs and gvm-ooats sufficient to silence the old fort of ''uenos-A.yres; that was only built as a protection from the In- dians by the first settlers, in two hours, and they had an army or a multitude hemmed in the town, with no.more provisions than 46 bullocks, although tho consumption is 300 every day, and not withstanding' this and I many other advantages, Whitelock and Gower signed the disgrace of being beat off the, r'.o.veiof the British army, by an in."disciplined multitude of not more than equal numbers, commanded by men who Scarcply ever saw a shot Hred in anger. I need not describe to you what a Span- ish Creole army is. I h:we seen them at , review and barracks, and I have never seen the like before. Gen. Santiago Liniers, who is their chief, is a French gentleman by birth, was a captain of a frigate under .the French monarchy ; married a daughter of Mr. Seratia, well known with you—had the command of some gun-boats, in Ensi- uzii on the arrival of Commod"re Popham —led the army which made the reconquest from Beresford, without any previous knowledge of military operations, is now by a late appointment from Spain, a major general, and by the absence of the late go- vernor < f M'orite Viedo, is at present vice king- ; he ,i* wore he is a humane, good man ; but ..fe -vants energy, to be a great man. Bslbiii'f and Velasco are two old men. who got grey in, this country, without even the opportunity of reading of wars, and the only commander, bo had seen service is Elio, who was f ihe" Irish brigade, and had been present at some skirmishes with the French on the frontiers of Spain. Alfhour/h, I fear I have given y u a te- dious account, I still will tresspass in aJdint>, that fhs disgrace of the British arms, must be imputed to gen. Whitelock who led, or I should say ordered his brave men to ac- tion without support of cannon, or even the support of 2000 of their companions who did not come up until the 7th, and of be- ing co-wed by the rep rts of his right hand man gen. Gower, who carried him the ac- counts from Linier, that there \ ere 17,000 Spaniards under arms and that the British prisoners would be massacred if the bom bnrdment which was handsomely commenc- ed by the gunboats did not discontinue." FEDERAL GAZETTE. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17. BALTIMORE COLLEGE- November 11, 1807. It forms one of the most honorable traits in the fair historical character of our country, that, whether engaged in peace or in war. it has ever been ready to extend a foatei ing liand to seminaries of instruction, and the early nuiture of the human mind. Even during the revolutionary strngg1e the genius of Maryland never lost sight of this important bject. It is ever to be remem- bered to the glorious memory of Washing- ton, that even amid t all the toils and perils of the ' tented field.' he extended his gene- rous aid to the first college institution at- tempted in this state. The esiablishraent of a college, on prin- cipals congenial with our civil and religious rights and priviledges, is the best means of providing for the improvement if the ris- ing generation in literary, scientific, and useful knowledge. And as all agree in this interesting truth, that on the diffusion of such kno. ledge the freedom and happi- ness of any people or nation must in a great measure depend, none can suppose that for such institutions any merited encourage- ment, can be too liberal. It is a maxim which the voice of wiadom has founded 111 every age, thai' nothing can cost a father less, however dear he may pay for it, than the proper education of his son-' It is from these principles and views that the college of Baltimore has been founded. These principles and views are purely impar- tial. At least in as far as the zealous regard ti the spirit and principles of our national constitution can be considered as such, they are justly entitled to that character. The trustees, professots and tutors are to be se- lected from the general body of the citizens of the union, without respect to party, sect, or denomination : And far from arrogating an exemption from the direction or the in- terference of visitors or trustees, it shall ever be open to their strictest scrutiny and inspection. v' The present respectable number of the students ; the advanced progres of sume of the classes ; the long, laborious and zealous exertions and diligence of the principal pro- fessors in the education of the youth of ihis state, many of whom, at present, fiill emi- nent stations on the judicary bench, at the bar, and in the legislative assembly, toge- ther with the-consideration that no instituti- on of the same nature and extent can be supported to advantage, by only a few indi- viduals, have all conspired to urge the trus- tees to the following resolution. A mea- surs for the successful completion of which they cherish the most ample confidence, in the liberality of the enlightened friends of public instruction and liteiary improvement. Baltimore College, No-uembsr 2, 1807. ' Resol-ucd, That the following gentlemen be appointed a committee to solicit and re- ceive subscriptions, bequests and donations for the purchasing philosophic apparatus, & other purposes, necessary to the inslituion, viz: Doctor Coulter, Mr. James Biays, Mr. Joha M'Kim, Mr. Levering, Mr. M'Elderry, Mr. Johnson, Mr, Knox, and Mr. Sinclair.

Captain Crocker informs that Mr. Muiiroe had tak- en his passage in the ship Pocahontas at Li- verpool, and would shortly sail for haltimorel* —but, that his departure did not occasion S belief that our affairs with that country were in a worse state than they had Open ; for, the general opinion among the merchants at Liverpool was, shit all differences -would be amicably settled. In conn, mation of thisr the letters to the owner of the liliza, express a similar belief and his giods -were shipped agreeably to his order, as usual. CORRECTION. In the New York Evening Post of lasi Thursday, is republished the address of Capt, Biays to the citizens of Baltimore The editor of that paper having inferred front this letter- that fudge Dor.-,ey had been de- terred from pr seeding On the warrant issu- ed against Mr. Biays. we deem it propei to publish the following undeniable statement of facts. This is due to the character of Maryland. On Saturday the 7th inst. sevr-ral persons were arrested by the Sheriff of Ra!:. oore, under a warrant trom Judge D >rsey. a 1 of whom,excepttwo. (James Buys and J^s.-ph C. O'Riley) entered int> a recognizance before the jndije, to appear at the next Court of Oyer and Terminer and G' al Oehvciy, for Baltimoie county. Joseph C. 0 Riley refused to enter into a recognizance { on which he was committed to ja:l by the Judge. James Biays called at the Judge's house in the afternoon of the same day- in the ab- sence of the Sheriff and Judge. On Mon- the 9th, a gentleman of Ihe fi.st respectabi- lity- in point of wealth and character, en- tered into a recognizance before Jod&e Do*-- sey, conditioned for the appearance 1 f James Biays at the nex£ Court af resaid. The Hon. John T. Mason of Washing- ton county, and the Hon Le nard Coving* t n, of Prince George's county, have been appointed to fill the vacancies in the Senate of Maryland. The denomination of religious people called Methodists in the United States have ithin one year sent out 102 preachers.-— The number of travelling preachers in that society is about 600. and of local preachers more than 2000. Thirty elders have been ordained the last year. The sum total of mainbers now belonging to that denomina- tiun is 144,520. [Po«/w».l At a court of special sessions of the peace, held at the city-hall of the city of N. York in and for the said oty and county on Wed- nesday last, a young man (whose name, through delicacy to his friends, we foibear to mention) was conviced of insulting the society of religious people called Meth. dists, whilst in the exercise of public worship at their church in Duane-street and also of assaulting in a very unmanly and indecent manner several female's who were coining out of the said church. The court, consi- dering itself as' -the guardian of the public morals as well as the political and reli^ons liberties of the city, and regarding this case as one deserving exemplary punishment, sentenced the offender to sixty days impri- sonment in the city prison, and to find se- curity for his go d behaviour for one yea* thereafter. We hope the example will have a salutary effect upon others ; and that this society (respectable tor its numbers,, its piety- its zeal, and i, r the good effects which that zeal has produced) will in future be sulefceel to enjoy its religious privileges without nro^ lestation.' \_Mcrcaniilc Ad-ctriiscr.'\ To the patrons aftheObserver and the PubVick* What do you think the Observer means, ¦ by playing shuttle-cock with my poor name I at every lull and change of the moon ?
