STATES We extract from the National Advo-: ,cate, the following able article, upon fhe comnarative power of the President of the united States and the King of Great -Britain, intending to- refute the assertion,' often .very gravely advanced by those who ought to know better, that ihe former has as much political power as the latter. The Advocate sets forth a variety of cases, shewing a! wide dis tinction between them, all jof which is here copied with some modifications for tfce sake of brevity. I -- ' 1. The King of Britain is hereditary. The President is elected by the 'people for a Tiirited period. V v 2. The King 'rtovereign ; his person is sa cred; he is not accountable for misconduct. The President may be impeached artd re moved from office; and compellej3 to answer for m"i8Conduct, in or out of office. 3. The King cart do no -ibrbvi his rninis , ters only being responsible. The President alone is answerable for his own conduct. 4. The King ahnet ean send & peceive em bassadors, i The President mav receive them, it beincr a matter of dvgnitv, not of power. He can send thenv fnlv with the advice and consent of the Senate, two thirdsfof the Sen- utors present concurring. 5. The King alone can make treaties and alliances. The President can d o it onlit wit ii advice and consent of the Senate; two thirds J presp-nt concurring. 6. :Tne King atone can make war or peace. The President neither, it being the exclusive power of Congress. . i 7. The King has an absolute negative upon acts of Parliament, j The Presk ent only a qualified one upon cts of Congress, they be coming laws, if passed by tron tJdvds of Con gress, after the President'sTtegative. i' 8. The King alone can raise and reprulate fleets apd armies, j This is the exclusive power of Congress the President being merely commander in chief of the .army and navy when in actual service. .9. The King alone " can erect fortifications, grant letters of marqtie, establish courts of Judicature. These are exclusive powers of Congress. ,, ' . '. 10. Tlie King alone, is the fountain of hon or, office and privileges," and can grant let ters of nobility, and erect corporations. In Tne y. States titles of nobiutv are unconsti- . tutiohal. All the rest are powers of Con -gress. j ;. , :j . , ;;. i ' 11. Tfie King alone can cfoin money, make toreign monev a legal tender, regulate com u-erce and weicrhts and measures ! All these ure powers of Congress. : 12. The King is head of the church, and regulates all spiritual poncerns. Neither Con- fcress'r.or.the President has anv spiritual ju- i iMixtion. i . " 13. The Kins: mav tiroroerue and dissolve the Parliament. The President can adjourn Congress only about the time of adjournment. '14. The Kins: may pardon in all cases. The President only for ofFendes against the Unit ed States, excepting cases of impeachment, 15. TJie King has an extensive ordinary na extraordinary revenue, j The: President a limited salary, ifixeti by Congress, Table to iiciuier increase or diminution, during the i'c"uu ior wnich he shall have been elected. He can receive no other compensation from the IT. States or any of them. j The King has a large implied power. ne i resident none, i The powers delegated "x- .kj. owics, or pronauteii to iue,siaies, v 'tsrrvcu io xue pcttoie ov.tlic states res- From this, the president lias no im mediate power of doing lirin and can ever be an object of serious apprehen sjon to the people. 1 ' On the contrary, The'king must be an object of continu al dread, and the exertions of the whoie people required, to prevent .him from 'urectly or, indirectly increasing his prerogative. . j. r -... ': x ,; Many well meaning citizens some Jinies express apprehensions for the sta uity of our government, and point to :'iat of England, to shew tlie greater olKlity of monarchical institutions. ? hft American government is ihe stron st on earth, and Mr. Jefferson has s,lewn it by an argument that nobody can answer. "It is the only govern -ment,? said he, where every man, the call of the law, would fly to the vandard of the law, and meet infrac- ons of the public order ast his own l-ersonal concern." It is-foiinded in ,Ie Verests of the whole rfeople," and l!( citizens of the United States, ex Cept a few aristocrats in IVi astichuetts, oum think for a moment, of. a change. ne people support it from enlighUn ,,a c'iction of itsrexcellence,fcpro-uucpd- by-accurate knowledge of its attire snd operations;" and will conti nue this support; while; . they shall be as well informed as at present. Will they continuethus well inform ed ? - The. affirmative is readily given. Facilities of education have, been great ly multiplied since the adoption of the federal constitution, and the present generation : is much better instructed than the last. We have every reason for supposing a farther multiplication of these facilities, and may therefore safely say, that as the present genera tion is too enlightened to desire a change, we have no reason for appre hending such a desire j in posterity, whose means of knowledge will doubt less be greater than our own. , ; The government of England, on the contrary, is far from being stable. It has undergone more and ploodier re volutions than any in Europe, and is destined to shocks yet more terrible than any of former periods. It is not founded in the interests of the maiori ty, but is wielded solely for the benefit of the nobility, clerg-y; office-holders, and fundTholders. The property 'of the nation ; is m few hands, and . the great majority, having nothing to lose, and every thing to" gain by a change would seize the nrst opportunity tor effecting one. So complicated is the system, that the removal of one part would cause the destruction of the whole. " The payment of the national debt would overturn it. liepealing the riht of primogeniture and equal ly dividing landed property among heirs, would overturn it. . Abolishing the order of bishops and applying the cnurcn property to tne equal support of the clenrv, without distinction, of sect, would overturn it. In short, in numerable institutions, apparently no wiie connected; with the government, are'its strongest pillars, j for it is a go vernment administered to protect the interests of a few against those of the many. . : J; . The greatest support of this govern ment, is the ignorance of the people. Could the people of the British empire, by any means, be suddenly enlighten ed t that degree pervading the people of the United States they would not submit to their govern men t one week.' These, therefore, who boast of sta bility of this government, seem imper fectly acquainted. 'with its character, and will find in its history, sufficient to lead them to different conclusionsi uli fcfc l uou t must die. - vv hen we , , m " mm i -vm-rl onnir to mind this . awful sentence, which has been passed upon every crea ' ture inhabiting this ball ol earth, how insignificant appear the jlow pursuits which agitate tne toning race oi imen: Ife who has been for a series of years, building airy castles, and preparing for future enjoyment, who lias been filling nis parns yitn plenty, ana nis siores wnn aDiinaance, now is ne astonisneuj when tohim is sent this awful summons ! His proud projects vanish, into empti hess, and more worthless than chaff ap pear those base designs of grandeur, wnicnnau called iortn all. the energies of his mind. ! Is ot so with the christian who I ' -. -. j ' ' Has made the statutes of the Lord His study and delight. To him death comes not un looked for. He knows it is the lot of our frail na ture, and hef rejoices in it asthe road to blessedness. Sustained by the hope of glory, he sinks not under the rend irtgs of pain ; the agonies of disease are considered as the price of his passport to a hannier siate, and resigned, he re ceives the cup of affliction. Those who stand at his bed side, who behold him throw of the shackles of mortalityhis countenance beaming with smiles and lips utteringpraise; must surely be con vinced that he had followed no j cun ningly devised fables," and sceptics might be induced to wish that their ex it might resemble his. j i From the JVev-York Commercial Advertiser. Every body has heard of Irish Bulls, but it is seldom we have a genuine blunder of this sort, on as good author ity as the following In 1 808, the pre sent C&pt.

Chrystie, and Colonel Lraruner, now oi uus city, oi tne Ar my, -formed one mess, at Oswego, on IakS Ontario5, The servant of Colonel (then Ensign) Gardner,was an Irish lad of about twenty, who was known in the mess oy tne name oi otigo one occasion, ; when jthe gentlemen were drinking- their tea, the fire fell downl and a coal lodged in a large crack where it soon produced a' blaze. 'Put ?oul ; the fire, Sligb," said one of the getaUfi men, the pad seizeq the teaKettie, in haste, but when he Had it over thej fire, he suspended his. operations," though es very featurein his face expressed doubt, anxiety, and zeal. -f Put out the fire,59 cried the head of the mess, in a voice of thunder. The poor boy wished to obey, - but his brain (was on fire itself. He thought he saw instantaneous de struction in the act. The dry, shingle x V . ."-f.it i "1 til edifice-was in names; before his mind's eye1, and forgetful of Bis customary ;obe dience, he ventured to expostulate ; he cried in a tone-or awful remonstrance, "The water's warrein, Sir."
