_MRS. CLARK AFLOAT._

In the Ship Ann Maria arrived at New-Haven the following wax
passengers, viz. King George III, _Bonaparte,_ Washington,
_Jefferson,_ Hamilton, _Burr,_ Hillhouse, _Madison,_
Pickering, _Giles_ and _Mrs. Mary Ann Clark._ The
Custom-House officers made prisoners of all these passengers
for violating the Non-Importation Act, but being proved that
they were of East-Haven manufacture and unconscious of crime,
we are happy to hear they have been all liberated. King
George III. was taken in such bad company as is a sufficient
proof that he is _crazy._ Napoleon undoubtedly rejoiced when
he beheld the faithful execution in our waters, of his
continental system. Washington and Hamilton were glad that
they were in their graves, before their country had been
plunged so deeply in disgrace. Had not Pickering and
Hillhouse been indeed made of _wax,_ they would have thrown
Bonaparte and Jefferson overboard and given them the freedom
of the Seas. If the custom-house officers had kept possession
of Poor Madison, they could never have obtained much money
for him, as he now is a sorry _figure,_ since he has been
scalped and tomahawked by Smith. Burr, the democratic
vice-president and traitor, who has now gone home to France,
ought to be exhibited for the instruction of the People, in
every village. Giles must have been liable to have been
York-_sheared_ by Mrs. Clark, who, on a July day, when the
weather was at blood heat, must have been in a _melting_ mood
