PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 16.
REFLECTIONS FOR THE YEAR 1794.
The tyranny of Greatbritain was in
part checked by the brave font of
Columbia, aided by their Gallic friends
—the spirit of Liberty triumphed in
America, and the essence of it quick
ly pervaded all France—the tyrants
of Europe combined their whole force
to check its career, but to little pur*
pose, for what have they done ?—
They've caused the death of both
King and Queen, have killed an hun
m/retiwfaod Frenchmen the font of
t liberty, ind loft as many brave delud
ad slaves of their own armies—got
possession (by bribery and treachery)
of some of the most important posts
of France, and expeded soon to sub
due the whole land, but alas I where
are they now ?— — Driven over the riv
er Rhine with shame and disgrace,
Ktheir.juft reward—and what conse
quence is to follow /—Freedom to
the whole earth !—the vidorious ar
mies of Frenchmen, now purged and
purified of traireroui generals, are car
rying all before them in their enemy's
own country !—Contributions of im
f menfe sums demanded wherever they
conquer, and paid down immediately
—provisions, forage, ammunition, all
at their command ! in short, their
enemies are so chap-fallen and panic
struck of late, that the very name of
a Frenchman harrows up their fouls,
and away they fly to woods and cav
erns tythdufands to hide themselves
from the just vengeance of an indig
nant intuited nation. So much for
despotism ! The stupid and wicked
kisgs of Europe have brought mill
ions of hornets about their ears !

Arrived here, the (hip Commerce,
Captain Loring, from Gibraltar, in
64 days. He came out with an En
glish convoy, in company with the
Raven, Plummer, of Boston, who put
into Cadiz. By accounts from the
Levant, there was but one American
ship within the Streights: A few days
previous to Captain Loring's failing,
an Algerine brig, of 22 guns, and
280 men, came into Gibraltar, to wa
ter, after which (he failed on a cruize
to the westward. By means of a

schooner, (formerly of Marblehead)
6 guns, I Tartan, 4 guns, and two
Xebecks. They are ail well manned,
and equipped. They were then on a
cruize of 60 days,
The number of Cbriflian slaves in
Algiers was 862, about 130 Americans
—To alleviate thetr bufferings, a benev
olent charaaer at Cadiz, forwarded
them 1000 dollars, and a gentleman of
Hamburgh, 5001. Herling. The elev
en American prizes fold for 410 000
dollars, and the eflimated ranfam for
the 130 Americans is 240 000.
Previous to the Algerines coming out
American bottoms were in great de
mand, and for three months the freights
exceeded 150 000 dollars from Cadiz
162 American vessels arrived at Ca
diz the last year.

likely to be buffered by the United
States ; from a violation of our neu

from a failure in the execution of the

it expedient that our commercial in

remain as extensive as it now is, there
fore resolved, that from the day
of next our commercial intercourse
with that nation be suspended."

I waited in person on the Judge, to

to be a spiritless fee of people, who
will not rouse up until they cut our

set our houses on fire over bur sleepy
