the said William, John and Joseph, 2 ,
about disposing of their shares in said

further states to your honors, thft in the

The Senate of the State of New%

meet your address at the opening of the
present session of the Legislature.
Assembled for thepurpofe of consult
ing the common good of our Ceuftitu
ents, we contemplate, with fatisfaaion,
the advantages we enjoy, under a free
Government, to render a people happy ;
the effeds of which are so apparent in
our present internal tranquility; and un
ion.
While we view the nation of France,
under the falfe pretext of eftablilhing
liberty amongst themselves and other na #
tions of the earth, tyrannizing over the
viaims of their ambition ; unprovoked,
ly and indiscriminately desolating cities,
and overturning Governments— we can
not but prize the blessings of our owp, &
resolve, st every hazard, to defend it.
The Constitution of our general Gov
ernment, lecures to us every privilege
which a rational mind can desire, and i,
the admiration of the wisest politicians.

the mutual services rendered each other,
for many years, had united them to us in
bonds of amity which no inconfiderabie
ciufe could have broken ; and while the
liberty and happiness of man appeared to
us their only obj a, our good wishes at
tended them in every yutfuit : But ava
rice and power, gaining afeendency o
ver honesty and rerfon, hurried them on
to such wild extravagancies, as astonish
ed the most friendly nations, and incurred
our just resentment.
When we turn our attention to the
long continued depredations on our
Commerce, the repeated insults to our
General Government in the rejeaion of
our Envoys, and the insidious measures
pursued to divide and diftr^a our Coun
cils, every tender feeling is ex foguifhed
—But what bettercan we exp^tt from a
Nation divested of piety and every moral
sense, & whose Creed is Aheira ! —With
such, friendfllip cannot be maintained,
and solemn treaties are as idle tales.
From a Charge delivered bj ^uige Rufo of
Pennsylvania in August las, andpuWfad
at the requefl of toe Grandfuries in the
Counties of Berks, Luzerne, and Northam
; herland.
GUR country has been too long allied ,
to France—it was the connexion
of unfufpeairig, youthful virtue with an
old bawd; at one period disguised in
robes of monarchy, and another in the less
fafeinating garb of a republican drcfs—
bpt invariably,he fame.
From a nation thus perfidious and
ambitious— from a country thus Beeped
in. blood and ailt manner of vice and cor
ruption ; surely every benevolent heart,
every lover of his country and virtue,
will rejoice thatwe are at least divorced.
The maxim, that evil communications
corrupt good morals, is not less true with
refpea to individuals, than to nations.
The Treaty of 1778 laid the foundation
of a continual intercourse between the
two countries, and drew them into a
close, but unnatural union. Their poli
tics—their infidelity—and their immor
alities, became fashionable, and have
fotead like an infeaious disorder through
our land. The French nation distin
guished by enterprizes equally brilliant
and wicked, attraded admiratiot, which
has been followed by an imitation of her
principles, and an approbation of her
crimes. And it seemed highly probable,
. r? 'b ' \°b"
L is to befamented, that any Ameri
can Citizen would takes part on the fide
of cur enentity to calumniate our fa
vorite Ruleri, aid weaken the arm of
. Government. Re lament also, the a
'bufe of that funCTmer,tal privilege in out
Constitution, ^ Liberty of the Prejs : But
calumny, when iffudig: frem feme parti
cular periodical fountains, and aimed at
66 a WASHINGTON, or an ABAMS,"
is praise : For such iiluftrious characters
need only to be named, to be admired ;
whole wife and patriotic exertions, from
the commencement of qur revolution, to
the present day, have uniformly tended
to obtain and preserve our Liberty and
Independence.
The measures pursued by the Execu
tive of our General Government, in ap
pointing and inftru&ing Envoys with a
view to operate a reconciliation between
tW'.'TJnited States and the French Re
public, are evidence to us of superior
wisdom, and an ardent desire for peace ;
and the effe& of their negotiation convin
cing, that further attempts would prove
kuiilefs. Nothing therefore remains,
but to place ourselves in a proper Situa
tion of defence, having no alternative
but the ultimate argument of injured Re
publics : But in any event, relying on
the wisdom of our Cenftituted Authori
ties to didate, we Shall ever stand ready
to co-operate with them tor the general
fafety.-
The important snd interesting fubjeds
contained in the communications trom
pur neighboring States, together with
those which more immediately concern
this, will meet our early and due atten
tion ; confident of your Excellency's
, readiness to unite with us, in every mea
sure conducive to the welfare of our com

Hail aufoicious day ! Henceforth the ri
diculous claim of national gratitude, will
be no longer rung in our ears by ungen
erous benefadors. Let the jroenteentb
day of July be had in everlasting remem
brance. Upon the anniversary of that
day, let the voice of joy and gratitude be
heard through our land. It is a declara
tion, I true, of our Independence on
France, and perpetual exemption from
the baneful eff^s of her morals, her re
ligion, and her politics. From calami
ties,- infinitely more to be dreaded, than
those commemorated upon the fourth of

Co„ °f 4 letter f rra Rear Admiral Nel
son,fa the Earle, St Vimnte,dated off
the Mouth of tbs Nils, 3d Au„ft, 1798.
MY LORD,
Almighty god has bieffed hit
Majesty's arms in the battle, by a
great vidcry over the fleet of the enemy,
whom 1 attacked at sunset on the ift of
Auguftoff the mouth of the Nile. The
enemy were moored in a Strong line of
battle for defending the entrance of the
Bay, (of Shoals) flanked by numerous
gun-boats, four frigate, and a battery of
guns and mortars on an ifl^d in their
van ; but nothing could winlhnd the
Squadron your Lordship did me the hon
our to place under my command. Their
high state of difcipliae is well known to
you, and with the judgment of the Cap
tains, together with the valor, and that
of their officers and men of every def.
cription, it was absolutely irresistible.
Could any thing from my pen add to
the characters of the Ca,ts. I would write
it with pleasure, but that is impeffibie.
I have to regret the loss of Captain
Wefcott, of the M frftic, who was killed
early in the adion, but the Ship was con
tinued to'be so well fought by her First
Lieutenant, Mr. Cuthbert, that I have
given him an order to command her un
til your Lordship's pleasure is known.
The Ships of the enemy, all but their
two van Ships, are nearly difmafted ; and
those two, with two frigates, I am ferry
to fay, made their escape, nor was it in
my power, I assure you, to prevent them.
Captain Hood, most handsomely endesv
cured to do it, but I had no Ship in con
dition to Support the Zealoussand I was
obliged to call her in. The support and
assistance, I have received from Capt.
Berry,\ cannot be fufficiently expressed.
I was wounded in the head and obliged
to be carried cff the deck, but the Service
fuffered nothing by that event. Capt.
Berry was fully equal to the important
service then going on, and to him I must
beg leave to refer you for every informa
tion relative to the viaory. He will pre
font yen with the Flag of the fecund in
command, that of the commander in
chief being burnt in the L'Orierit.
Herewith I transmit you lifts of killed
and wounded, and the lines of battle of
ourselves and the French.
I have the honour to be, &c.
