NEW O D E—
To a popular tune.
GOD save the rights of man !
Give us a heart to (can
Biefiings so dear !
Let them be spread around
Wherever man is found,
And with the welcome lonnd
Rayidi his ear i
Let us with Fiance agree
And bid the world be free,
While tyrants fall
Let the rude savage hod
Of their vast numbers boast —
Freedom's almighty trust
Laughs at them all !
Tho' hods of Haves confp're
To quench fair Gallia's fire
Still fliall they fail ;
Tho' traitors round her rife
Leagn'd with her enemies,
To war each patriot flies,
And will prevail !
No more is valour's flame
Devoted to a name ;
Taught to adore—
Soldiers of liberty
Disdain to bow the knee }
But teach Equality
To every (hore.
The world at last will join
To aid thy great design,
Dear liberty !
To Ruflia's frozen lands
The generous flame expands—
On Asia's burning sands
Shall man be free.
In this our western world,
Be freedom's flag uufurl'd
Through all ou' ft,ores !
May no deftruftive b'aft
Our (Lies with clouds o'ercaft ;
May freedom's fabric last
While time endures !
If e'er hrr cause should fail,
Ambition's fiends aflai ,
Slaves to a throne—
May no proud despot daunt
■Should he his ilandard plant,
Freedom will never want
Her WASHINGTON!

" THE writers opposed to the French,
are fond of setting up a man of Jiraw, jufl
to have the fatisfaftion of beating bin:
down. They exclaim aganft involving
curfelves in the present quarrels of Eu
rope. No man has ever appeared to urgs
this } no American wifhesto be concerned
in the contest ; but the only question is.
whether <we are obligated to comply with tin
terms oj a sacred treaty ? The honor and
pledged faith of the States were violently
contended for, in discharging our public
debt, and the fund-ng fyflem was eflablifh
ed on these principles. But our engage
ments bv a solemn treaty, (which are the
great basis of national honor and security)
are held up by these writers, as a fubjedt ol
a trifling nature ; as not worthy our atten
tion, and ou ( ,ht to be set aside by fophijlry.
or any other artifice we can devise. Out
treaty, fay they, is with " His Chrijliat
Majejly," but now the government is
changed, we are not bound to comply with
it- How would this reasoning have suited
these persons as it related to the public
debt. It might have been allied, whether
our engagements were with the army ; and
lince they had alienated their property,
and fold their notes at 2/6 in the pound,
whether we were bound to discharge them
at 20/"? Such an interrogatory, would
hsve been anathematized, as it refpe&ed
the funding system j anjl if it had prevail
ed, thousands who are now wrapt up in
their paper certificates, and bank scripts,
would have remained in their original state
of obfeurity.
All writers on governmeut, hold up the
facrednefs of treaties—that they are to bi.
faithfully observed. Those writers there
fore, that are for breaking our treaty with
France, and for giving equal terms to Eng.
land, do not understand the ties which bind
nations, who have by treaty become allies.
England has no claim upon us, but France
has ; if we should at this moment prove
perfidious to the latter, we may place our
selves in a very disagreeable filiation
Should we hesitate to eomply with our
treaty, France may so far resent it, as to
declare war against us. In this cafe, what
would become of our trade ? The whole
commerce we now carry on to any advan
tage ,is with the French : The Engli/h have
ever shewn a determfnation to injure us in
every part of our trade : France, on the
contrary, has opened her ports both in
Europe and the Wejl-Indies. The English
embarrass us in ail our connexions with
them, while the French art: pursuing the
mod liberal measures to facilitate our com
mercial negotiations. Our importations
from England, confiding of gew-gaws, to
pamper our follies, are dedru&ive to the
interellof this country: It' atradethat will
finally ruin U3, and in time render the
greatest part of those who are concerned
in it vaflals to a set of Britiih rc/idents who
reside among us, merely to overjee the con
dud of their customers, and to receive
their money as fad as they colledt it in
th :ir stores and ftiops.
Upon the whole, our duty is to rdhere
to our treaty, and to give it a fair, candid
condru£tion ; not attempt to nullify it by
!rifling fubtcr?~ug-es, or pettyfogging sophis
try. We wish to live in peace with all na
tions, and the moil effectual method to se
cure our tranquility, is to ast ftriftly on
the principles of national honor No civil
ized nr.tion can dejtre us to break the so
lemn obligation of a treaty, neither is it
i xpedted that France will require any thing
unr afonab/e to draw us into the p.efent
war. The generosity of that nation, it is
probable, will permit lis to continue in
drift neutrality, and we have move to hope
from theirfriendly difpofuion, than from tlie
fnphi/lry and aiufe of writers who are w,fil
ing to explain away the obligations of our
treaty." llrid. Chron ]
\\ e are informed that in consequence
of initru£tions from the executive of the
United States, to the Attorney for the
di drift of Pennsylvania, prosecutions have
been inllituted against John Singleterry,
and Gideon Henfield, charged w.'.h vio

schooner Genet, in the service of France,
and, with others on board the said fchoo
ner, capturing feverat v.fTels, the property,
and otherwise annoying the trade nd

The printer, anxious to render this work as
jerfeft as the nature of it will allow, most ear
leftly request?, that such gentlemen, throughout
he United States, as have it in their power, wHI
urnidi him with documents for cone&ing the
>ast errors in the geography of America, and for
urnirtiing a more complete system of geography
:han has yet appeared.

"ill be given in tne 47th and 48th number?.
N. L. Ihe fubferibers, and the public in ge
neral are requested to consider the following very
Tiaterial circumstance——The London quarto edi
ion is fold here, for fiiteen dollars, although it
.ontains only 25 maps and plates, and of the geo
graphy of the United States, as has been observed
ibove, only about 30 pages—whereas, Caie\'s
:dition will contain 42 mrps and plates, and have
wo hundred pages of letter picfs more. And it
need not be observed, tTiat the seventeen maps to
be added, are of more importance co Americans
by far, than the 2.5 London ones. The observa
tion will apply with equal force to the letter press
additions.
The maps will be published in such order of
fucceliion as they are engraveo, and dire&ions will
be printed for the proper manner of placing them
by the bookbinder.
