In addition to their talents for difeharging the
duties ot that important office—lt is no Imall re
commendation that they are not party men—b..i
r 'haviug invariably devoted themselves to the ser
vice of their country in ourlate revolution, they
have continued true to her interests even iince,
without differing their minds to be contaminated
With the poifpn of English or French politic--
such are the men we want in public ottice, ano
such it is hoped the state will consult their own
inured b, eKting, al;ho' their names may not
be found writfen in the Oracle of the Day.
rte SEVENTEENTH OF JULY.
The 17th of July has puffed away, without being
diftingnifhed from its lifter days of the fleering
year-—No orations, no feafts, no firings happened
on it—No encomiums on the British treaty, no
eulogiums 04 its friends, no denunciations of its
foes will was blank,fadnefs and despair—only one
solitary flag waved its melancholy folds over the
navy (lore, to remind the way-faring passenger
that every hope of avenging onthe fahhieft Gaui,
our reparation from Great-Britain—with all the
rich harvelt of agencies, eommiffions, contracts,
andthe wealth-giving jobs of war, had gone—
alas, forever gone 1 What a change in the revolu
tion of one Abort year— Tell it not in Gath, left
the Jacobins rejoice — and the unfeeling Republi
cans triumph. •

Extract of a letter from Washington, Georgia, dot
ed June 21, to a gentleman in Wilmington.
" BOWLES is making a good deal of difturb
auce among the Indians, and has taken one of the
Spamfli forts. Qar governuient it is said, has giv
en orders this week, to have 5000 of the militia in
readiness at a moment's warning, in contequence
of an express received from Cot Hawkins, our
Indian Agent—l had it from a gentleman who left
Louisville on Wtdoe^ay last, who said the Gov
ernor informed him, that he had iflued the orders
on that day.'' %
Extrafl of a letter dated Halifai, 23d June, 1800.
" l am sorry to inform you that we [the Danish
fliip Muhleufels,] were captured on the sfth init.
by the St. Albans British man of war, Capi. Hardy,
tinder a late order from England, to fend in all
Vessels bound to or from enemies ports for legal
adjudication ! !"
NEW-YORK, JULY It).
Capt. Waterman, from Lisbon, informs us, that
on the tint of June, off the Rock of Gibraltar, he
few a fleet of ihips of war, which he supposed to
be Englidi—he counted 34 fail. The probability
, is, that these (hipshave oii board the 12,000 troops,
that were about failing from England at the date
.of dur lalt accounts) said to he defined for the
fouth.of France, under the Command of Sir Ralph
Abercromby. „'
The hit accounts from Jamaica, fthte, that there
were lying in the harbor of Mairagnahaj 12 or ig
fail of American vessels without a foul on boaru,
their crews, it was supposed, having been murder
ed by Rigaud's sanguinary adherents.
The captain of the flbop from st. Croix, arriv
ed here yelterday, informs, that 75 fail of Amerir
can vessels (including 7 French privateers, prizes
to the U. S. ships) failed from St. Thomas the firlt
ind. under conft>y of the frigate Adams.
The?.Albans, 0,64 guns, has left this port for
Halifax. , Messrs. Macdonald and Gujlieruard,
Commidinners under the 6th orticle of the Treaty
with Great Britain; were passengers.
'S4LEM,tULT 21.
INTERESTING. V
On Friday evening arrived here the brig Essex,
Jos. Orne matter, from Barcelona, via Gibraltar,
32 days from the latter plate. Accounts were re
ceived at Barcelona the day before Capt. O. failed
May 23, that on the i,th or 18th of Miy, Gen.
Madeira made a fuccefslul Tally from Genoa, and
killed and took a great dumber of Andrians. The
repprt Was generally believed at Barcelona. There
was not the lead probability pf Genoa's falling,
4tgreat reinforcements were marching to its re
lief. The city was conflantly fupblied with grain
and provilions by flat bottomed noatsirom Bar
celona, which from their conttni&on could fad
in shore, and of course out .of the reach of the
guns of the blockading (hips.
• There was an expedition going on from Gib
raltar, from whence Gen. Abercrombie failed the
12th June, with two regiments of foot and two
of cavalry. Its destination was unknown, but
supposed either for Genoa or Malta. .
.Fhe French privateers have seated troubling onr
vessels in the Straights tinlefs armed, or bound to
Gibraltar, which is blockaded by the Spaniards,
who take all vessels bound there.
Accounts by Capt. O. weunderftand have been
received that the king of Spain by proclamation
had forbid the further piracies on the American
Commerce by the gunboats from Algeziras, &c.
By an arrival into Bolton, which left Halifax
the rith intt. we are happy to learn, that the
Hannah, of this port, the Juno, and sch. Vandyck
of Button, have been released from the fang# of
tie British in Nova Scotia. The 14th 'mil. was'
originally appointed for the trial of the Juno st
is therefore believed that the two lift vellels were
given up without trial—the ich'r Vandyke cer
tainly was. It is gratifying to find more bonefl
men than we thought there were—.but unkfs clam
ages are allowed, we ffiall dill think the judges
&c. have only been honed by the halves. We have
not learnt the fate of the schooner owned by Nlf.
Hooper jof Marblehead—but as (he was fimilarl
floated with the others, it is hopedihe may meet
the Game fate. . 1

ilh, Whole mterefe after he became fecYetary, he
has ever espoused, viewed his difmiffion as the 6g-
Ual of the President's having abandoned the war
fylleni with France, into which they imagined
they had decoyed him too far io retreat ; and
from that period, in.conjunction with an eallern
junto, they have befu inudioully contriving to
prevent his re election, by introducing General
Pinckney iu his place=-Nay, so incensed are some
of his former adherents, at his deserting his party,
as they term it, that it is supposed they had rather
have even Jefferfon for Prefidenr, than that Ad
^ms fbbuld again be elected—indeed, it is current
ly reported, that one of the Mfcchufetts senators
beiore leaving this place, did openly avow it—By
this you may perceive that all the atofebf Jetfer
fon, is fougded in the basest fallhood, and fabri
cated merely to aafwer party purposes - -while
they are compelled secretly to refpett him for his
inflexible integrity, untainted morals and real pi
et; —:h7 as a true Republican and firm friend to
the democratic genius of our constitution, they
fear and hate him—Any one that may hand e
qually in the way of their tyrannical plans, will
receive an equal ihare of theit calumny, and this
begins to be verified in the perfqn of the Prelident,
of whom they now boldly fay, what a democrat
would hardly dare to whisper. The event of the
Prefidebtial election is considered as uncertain,
but if the eastern junto fhouki draw New-England
in to vote for Pinckney, at they bate ptomiled to
do, Adams will infallibly lose it. 4

Efforts have been made by the anglo-federalifts
who deprive Penufylvama of a voice in the elc
tion; from file above Itatemerit It is evident that
the republican interell it it could be base enough
to fuller so flagrant and daring an attempt oiLUie
rights bf this date, itand in no need of the „
votes, of this comniodwealth, but could give the r
opponents the 7 votes of Jertey, and the 3 of Del

From which it will also be seen, that if as some

The idea ot foreign novation has resulted from
the hue and cry of those who wished it. The an
ti-republicans of America fur some years pall
have mutt ardently wished that, war with France
might taeptee/and, ir order to forward their
delires, they have begun to tight before the enemy
approached out mores; nay, while they were
1000 leagues off : what is more, while that very
evenly &as so engaged at home it was impoffiote
for them to leave weir own country, or even to
think <if invading this. It was well known that
France had no such serious design, and the propa
gation of the opinion was intended only to work
political mifehief. The farce we believe is nearly
over, and good sense united with republican
ftrmmfs will conduct the affairs of the American
citizens.',
