"frTth^hft Centinel it is dated, that with
ao 000 left in their number of free inhabitants,
• Virginia fends five more members to Congress.
'if Mr Jefefon will be so good as to recom
mend amendment in this important instance
to be added to the firing already proposed by
his Ton-in^w, Mr. Epeyt w>ll be much
more graeioufly received 10 New-England.

*bf benefit ofde <^ o
the election of the Anti-federal Ticket,
and to those exertions we will only op
pose your own interest in supporting
the Federal Ticket. A calm review of
the last falion of Congress will enable
you to determine whether your interest
has been at all confuted in the ads then
puffed. If it has been the objeft of the
ruling powers to promote the welfai e,
and relieve the burdens of New-Eng
land, your confidence has been misplac
ed, and abused, for your last delegation
to Congress Readily opposed all the
molt important ads. -If, however,
it appears, that the interests of New.
England have been most fhamefully a
bandoned ; that the interests of Virginia
have been the prime objed in view:—
If a system of legislation, partial—
weak—yet violent has focceeded to
the principles of Washington — the
wife and permanent ellablilhments of
the former administrations, then your
confidence in them has been deferred —
and while your fuffrages have clothed
them with honor, they have reflexed no
less credit On you for the judgment
and correct knowledge you have exhib
ited of our affairs : The repeal
of the Internal Taxes is not the lead
important ad passed the last session of
Congress. This motion was introduc
ed by a member from the southward,
and was warmly opposed by the Fede
ralists in every stage. They contended
that peace had returned to Europe ;
that consequently the receipts of our
Custom Houses would be less—that in
ftalments of the Public Debt was be
coming due and must be paid.—But
above all they infilled that if any part
of the public revenue could be given up,
that Necessaries and not Luxuries
of life fhouid be firft relieved. They
contested the bill day and night and re
peated motions were made to fubfticut^
rhe articles of Salt, Brown Sugar, Cof
fee, and Bohea Tea, for Pleasure Car
riages, Refined Sugar, and Whiskey.—
They were out-voted, and the bill in the
original form passed. Fellow citizens,
was your interests consulted in this aQ ?
The repeal of the judiciary Law,
was another important aft that the Fed
eralists objected to—We made it cur
study to prefen't you with the ihtereft
ing debates on this bill-—all the fpceches
that could lead you to a corred opinion
of its Constitutionality.—On this
ground it was mostly opposed—They
were as usual cut-voted, and the bill
passed. But it seemed hardly an object
to infringe the Constitution (for so it is
viewed by three fourths of the com
munity) to save 30,000 dollars (about
one cent to every citizen) annually—
leaving its inexpediency out of the ques
tion. -
flandings. Other a&s were passed, but
from the above you will, be able to
form an idea of the system that was
pursued.
You ,are now called to ele& your
men. The ticket we offer you we ad
vocate with some enthusiasm, because
we know them to be firmly attached to
Federal Principles—men warmly at
tached to Gen. Washington's maxims
of government — Republicans, not
merely in prefeffion, but in PRACTICE —
By a choice of such men, convince the
little politicians of the day, that you do
wish a revenue for the support of your
government, for the protection of your
commerce, and defence of your shores,
drawn from the wealthy and luxurious,
and not from the hands of labor.

A bill also passed tinder the splendid

ed to empower the Secretery of the
Treasury, by the help of two agents,^
to take up the Dutch debt as faft as it
became due, and place into Other hands

to pay off the whole* National Debt."

TO THE INDEPENDENT
Portsmouth,
SIR, —Finding that a story long since
propagated under circumstances, which
it was expected would soon consign it
to oblivion, (and by which I have been
complimented at the expence of Gene
rals Washington and La Fayette) has
of late been revived and has acquired.a
degree of importance by being repeated
in different publications as well in Eu
rope as America—it becomes a duty
to counterad its currency and influence
by an explicit disavowal.
The story imports in substance, that
General La Fayette, with the appro
bation or connivance of General Wash-
ington, ordered me, as the officer who
was to command the attack on a Brit
ish redoubt, in the course of the siege
of York-Town, to put to death all those
of the enemy who should happen to be
taken in the redoubt; and that through
motives of humanity I forbore to exe
cute the order.
Positively. and unequivocally I de
clare, that no such ridr fimilaf order,
nor any intimation nor hint resembling
it, was ever bv me received or under*
flood to have Hto given.
It is needlefs'ltymter into an expla
nation ^ of some o^h^£s on the oc
casion alluded to, wnraf^tey be con
jedured to have given rifero the calum
ny. .It is enough to fay that they were
entirely unconnected with any ad of
either of the Generals who have been
accused. With esteem, I am, Sir,
four obedient servant,
A. HAMILTON.

Extract of a letter, dated Wafoingtoa dug. 16.
“ A paragraph has appeared in the
Wafhingten Federalist, stating, that
from the latest information, it is appre
hended that both the Emperor of Mo
rocco and Dey of Algiers, have declar
ed War against the United States. Such
publications alarm the public mind ex
ceffiyely ; not only raise the premium
of insurance, but cause great uneasiness
to'thofe who may have friends qr pro
perty in the Mediterranean. They also -
tend to flop expeditions preparing for
that sea. It is true that the frigate N.
York, is manning with intent toioin
the squadron, under Commodore Mor
ris ! But it is not true that there is any
appearance of danger from Algiers ;.
on the contrary, the condud of that
Regency is of the most friendly kind,
the Dey can have no pretext for War,
there being nothing due to him from
the, United States.
“ Some apprehensions are entertain
ed with refpe& to Morocco. The Em
peror demanded from Commodore
receive an insertion in the federal news
papers in the United States. It was
not without much regret we once saw
the Hander which is here meant to be
destroyed, find its way into one of our
most refpe&able public prints, from the
Antiffacobin Review—a work of great
literary merit, but whatever relates to
this country difcoloured with gross, un
jaftifiable misrepresentation.
From our Country Paper of Tuefdoy last.
In the Gazette of this day, a piece
fignod “ A Voice in the Wilderness," is
inserted with an intention to divide the
Federal interest at the ensuing election
for members of Congrefs.—Abiel Fos
ter, George B. Upham, and Daniel
Blasdel, Esquires are mentioned as
Candidates. But we are enabled to as
sure the public from the belt authority
that neither of those gentlemen are can
didates, or would accept the office if
chosen : and that holding up those gen
tlemen as candidates must be a meart
Jacobin trick to divide the federal votes.
The lift published by us was agreed up
on by the federalifts at Concord in June
laft,after it was known that Judge Foster
and Mr. Upham had declined being
re-elected ; and that Mr. Blafdel (a
good federalift) aflifted at the caucus
when the federal ticket was agreed
upon.
How very near does this author referable Bel
zebub himfelf going about seeking whom he
may deceive, under the meek and specious title of
A voice from the uildcrnefi freaking truth and
peace, while his every feature is prominent with
deceit ? Beware then of wolves in fheeps cloth
ing
Remember Federalists, that if we lose this
election, it will be through our own supineness,
for which we shall stand accountable not only
to our own consciences, but to posterity, to
whom incalculable evils may result from a de
praved course of government.
Let us then unite on Monday next, and give
our fuffrages to the men on whole integrity and
ability we may fafely rely for our Representa
tives in Congress, whose names ure inferred in
this day's Oracle, and not fuffer ourselves to
be milled by any machiavilianifm of the day.
A FEDERALIST,
The views of that writer in the last Gazette
who stiles himfelf "A Voice from the Wildernefif
are too loosely veiled in the darkness of Jacobin
ifm to mislead the enlightened Federalists of
New-Hamplhire. He is here endeavouring to
practice the arts of his cotemporaries in France ;
divide and conquer—is the motto of their stan
dard, and such an one would not be misplaced
on his. But let him know that the Federalists
of this State are not to be gulled by machina
tions of this kind, emanating either from the
Wilderness of Strafford, or the modern pande
monium.

For the ORACLE.
"UNITED IVE STAND."
Dale and the Swedish admiral, permis
sion to fend two fllips laden with wheat
for Tripoli, and for his men to take
possession of the Tripolitan (hip block
aded in Gibraltar, and to carry her to
one ofhis ports. This demand was re
futed by both commanders ; The Em
peror about the fame time reminded
Mr. Simpson, the American Consul,
that the American Government had
promised three years pad to supply him
with too gun carriages, with which
they had never complied. On being
refufed, the Emperor asked passports
for his two (hips, to proceed with their
cargoes of wheat to lurns ; this request
was, I believe assented to. Early in
June the Emperor renewed the former
demand for his two flips to proceed to
Tripoli with wheat ; and also that the
Tripolitan (hip of war fhouid be deliver
ed to his people, and a passport given
permitting her to proceed to Tripoli ;
this was of course refufed. Com.
Morrishad gone over to Tangiers to ad
jutt the fubjed. Should Morocco go
to war we ihall have for the protection
of our commerce on the spot, the Che
sapeake and Adams—The Constella
tion and the four Swedish ships, will
completely blockade Tripoli, and it is
expected compel that regency to peace.
The New-York will proceed imme
diately and join the Commodore. The
Emperor's maritime force is not Consi
dered of any great importance ; the
situation of his ports on the Atlantic a
lone, make him dangerous. It is hop
ed that when he receives the gun car
riages promised, that he will not per
sist in such unreasonable demands—
Commodore Morris meant to order
the Boston and the schooner to join him
immediately."
Capt. Blanchard arrived at Portland from
Cape- Francois, informs, that intelligence was
received at that place from Port-au-Paux, that
on the 27th July the blacks had risen on the|
white inhabitants of the latter place and killed;
200 of them. No troops had arrived there.|
Never were any person's writings more com
pletely guarded against an undue influence,'
than Callender's. The Federalist's long ago
denounced him as void of principle; the Jaco
bins now do the fame. With the opinion of all
parties thus against him, his writings can have
no other rffeQ than what they derive from the
irresistible force of fads and argument.

An Essay on the Yellow-Fever, by a
gentleman who has resided long in the
U. States, has appeared in the London
Morning Chronicle, of Jam last.
The Essayist goes into an historical
statement of fads,and reasons with can
dor from his premises. The prominent
features of his dissertations are—That
the Yellow-Fever is a disorder of the
fame nature as plagues—like it, origi
nated in the. warm climates of Asia or
Africa ; was introduced to the Weft-
Indies by the African Ships, and has
become general to the islands, whose
warm climate keeps it in continual ex
istence ; that Europe is preserved from
it by the length of the voyage from the
Weil-Indies; but the immerife com
merce of the United States, with the
shortness of the voyage, render the
Weft-Indies to them the fame source
of contagion, that the Levant is to Eu
rope ; that the increase of commerce
with the Weft-Indies, especially with
Guadaloupe and St: Domingo, which
have been rhe principal feenes of mili
tary operations and feat of this disorder
—the throngs of passengers, and the
promiscuous baggage and every species
of goods brought home,have conftautly
cohWyed the contagion to opr sea ports,
that the difference among the physical
faculty, prosecuted with rancor and en
thusiasm, both on the origin, nature &
treatment of the disease, have proved
one of the severest afflictions that has
accompanied it, by robbing the unhap
py victim of all the comfort,which con
fidence in a physician is capable of in
spiring. He elofes, by ooferving ; —
" The unhappy inhabitants of Ameri
ca have already exhausted,almoft eve
ry effort in perfecting the internal po
lice of their cities, until attention to
cleanliness can do little more ; had they
been equally attentive to establish gen
eral and rigorous quarantines, in all
probability they would have been, ere
this, free from the attacks of this dread
ful disease. Instead, therefore of call
ing away their attention to delusive
theories, we ought to Strengthen them
in the resolution to adopt regulations
which we have found effectual our
selves, and to cheer them by the hope,
that these will, under kind Providence,
ensure their future fafety."
