TO turn from French tunaionaries

The President, with the consent
of the Senate, has appointed Generals
Knox, Hamilton,Lee and Morgan,
Mjar Generals in the army of the U,
States.
The appointment of these officers re
fleas high honor upon the Prefideot's
difeernment. They were the spirit of
the army, in the war which established
our lodependrace. —Who then so proper
to defend it ? An army of true Ameri
cans, headed by Washington, and
seconded by Knox and his gallant asso
ciates, must be irrefiftabh.
Got Knox commanded the artillery
of the United States, during our revolu

Andmldeft manners mark the noblift mind,
So,while a country's wrong tby spirit free,

Alexander Hamilton, was at
tach^ to Gen. Washington's family
through the whole of the war. Be it
remembered, that, at that diftrefstul pe
riod, when the cause of freedom and in
dependence was reduced to its toweft ebb
—when the ftooreft hearts were apailed,
and brave men despaired of America's
success — when the continental army was
reduced from 15,000 men no less than
an eighth of its number, and the Great
WASHINGTON fled through the ,#.
j„, with a handful of men —hen the
faithful Hamilton was found by his
fide ;—like his leader, firm in danger,
and daring to hope fete his country, when
the world despaired Ai the capture of
Cornwallis, achieved by the Ameri
can army, and the troops of the good
Lewis XVI. during the siege of Yorktown,
it was necessary to dislodge the enemy
from two advanced redoubts ; to excite
emulation in the allied army, the attack
of one was entrusted to the royal troops ;
while Hamilton was feleded, as hero
of the American army, to storm the oth
er. His success is well known. And
it Should be known, also, that Hamil
ton attached as much honor on the
American name, for his humanity, as for
his bravery. In revenge for the death
of the brave Col. Ledyard, at fort
Gripwold, in New-London the marquis La
Fayette ordered him to give no quarter
to the British troops. Hamilton's
humanity triumphed, and only a few
Were flam in the heat of the storm.
When upbraided by the marquis, he ex
cused himfelf, with a fenteoce which
would have done honor to Anfidis, in
the freeft days of Greece: " Americans,"
replied Hamilton, " know how to
conquer, but not to murder."
Gen. Lee was a most adive partifen
officer. He commanded a legion; whose
exploits used to cheer us in our war for
independence. On the ig+h July, 1779,
with only about 350 Americans, he sur
prised and stormed the strong British
post at Pfale's Hook, flew ,0, and took
nigh zoo prisoners.
Gen. Morgan entered the American
army early ; was at Cambridge with a
party of riflemen; conduced himfelf
with great propriety, in various military
grades, until the year 1781 ; when a se
parate command displayed the full enef
gy of his abilities — And the battle of
the Cowpensjri S. Carolina, gave as favor
able a turn to the American arms at the
fouth, as the battle of Bennington had ef
fe&ed in the north wing of the Union.
On the 17th of Jan. 1781, he fought the
celebrated battle with the famous Tar
leton. Morgan was at the bead of
about 500 Americans. Tarleton
commanded 11co British troops, ioclu
ding 250 dragoons, Wd 2 field pieces.
Morgan charged the enemy with fixed
bayonets, and totally routed them.
Military annals do not record a more
complete defeat— 300 of the British were
killed and wounded, andSoo taken pri
foners ; 800 mofkets, 2 field pieces, 35
baggage waggons, and loodragoon hor
ses, were among the spoils and trophies
of the conquerors. Gen. Morgan
had only 12 men killed and 60 wounded.
Fellow Citizens, , ~
Those of you who have lived thro' the

A Lessen for venal Affemblresa
The Speech which was spoken b,
Oliver Cromwell, when be
differed the Long Parliament.
IT is b^h time for me to pot an end
to your fitting in this ptee, which you
have dishonored by your contempt at all
virtue, and defiled by your practice of
every vice • Ye are a faaious crew, and
enemies to all good government : Ye are
a pack of mercenary wretches,and would,
like Esau, fell your country for amefs
of pottage ; and like Judas, betray ,wur
God for a few pieces of money : Is there
a single virtue now remaining amongst
you ? Is there one vice you do not pot
fell ? Ye have no more religion than nty
horfe , gold is your god. Which of you
- have not bartered your confeience for
bribes ? Is there a man amongst you
that has the least care for the good of the
commonwealth? Ye sordid profitutes,
have you not defiled this sacred place, and
turned the Lord's temple into a den of
thieves^ by your immoral principles and
wicked practices ? Ye are grown intole
trably odious to the whole nation. Yuu
are deputed here by the petpie to get
grievances redressed, are not yourfeives
become the gieateft grievance ? -Yoof
country therefore call. l upon me to cleanse
this Augean stable, by putting a final
period to your iniquitous proceedings in
this house, and which, by God's help,
and the strength he has given roe, lam
now come to do : 1 command ye, there^
fore, upon the peril of your lives, to de
part immediately out of this place. Go,
get you out, make haste, ye venal frees,
begone ! So takeaway that /hiking bau.
ble there, and lock up the doors.

A report, highly derogatory to cuf

maliciously, circulated, in my neighbor

that honorable body at their last session,
solemnly appropriated, to their own %
one hundred and forty sets of the Laws
of the United States, (price fix dollars
per set) which had been forwarded by
