The Tour of JACOBINISM.
The term facobinifm, (fays a' late Lon
don paper) has now performed a tour of
all nations and all principles, and will in
time be fairly worn out, unless our min
idry, in their great wisdom, mill fee fit
to apply it to some new purposes. It
may yet, if judicially managed be the
preamble of a bill, or the prelude of a
tax.

The POISON, and its ANTIDOTE.
A °fecret Committee ofAccufationf es
tablished for the blackest purposes in a
neighboring commercial town,lately for#
warded a memorial to President Jeffers
son against their Colle&or, a worthy cit#

from office. The President rejeded
the memorial, and instituted an inquiry

ing the latter an opportunity of defend

rantable junfdiction over us. We have
reminded them of the circumstances of
our emigration and settlement here. We
have appealed to their nativejuftice and
magnanimity, and we have conjured
them by the ties of their common kin
dred to disavow these usurpations, which
would inevitably interrupt our connec
tions and correspondence. They too
have been deaf to the voice of justice
and of consanguinity. We must there
fore acquiesce in the necessity, which de^
nounces our separation, and hold them,
as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies
in war, in peace friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of
the U. S. of America, in General Con
gress assembled, appealing to the Su
preme Judge of the world for the re&i
tude of our intentions, do in the name,
and by authority of the good people of
these colonies, solemnly publish and de
clare, that these United Colonies are and
of right ought to be, Free and Independ
ent States, that they are absolved from
all allegiance to the British crown, and
that all political conneaion between them
and the state of Great Britain, is and
ought to be, totally diflolved; and that
as Free and Independent States, they
have full power to levy war, conclude
peace, contrast alliances, establish com
merce, and to do all other a&s & things
which Independent S ates may of right
do. And for the support of this decla
ration, with a firm reliance on the pro

fortunes and our sacred honor.

The Minister of marine has received
from Citizen yenue, the Marine Prefect
of Toulon, a report dated ift Floreal,
in which we read the following details :
One of the veflels under command
of Citizen Breaux, which failed for
Egypt, the 28th Ventofe. (18th March)
by orders of General Ganthume, was
taken by the British, when about 20
leagues from land, and sent into Mahon.
The Captain and crew, which were
sent back in a cartel, arrived at Mar
seilles 29th Germinal, (18th April.)
The Captain writes to his agent, who
is now at Toulon, that an English fri
gate, which failed from Alexandria the
3d Germinal, (23d March) and arrived
at Mahon the nth, has brought the
news that the English were completely
defeated by Gen. Menou. The Captain
adds, that this intelligence has spread the
utmost consternation through Mahon. °

Paris, Ma, 4. It was pubiifhed yes
terday and we now repeat it, that the
Government has received official dis
patches from Egypt, which confirm the
accounts which have prevailed for some
time; that the English have been totally
defeated.
Paris, April 27. Letters from Holland announce
that 17 ships, 6 frigates, and five other vessels of
war, are ready for sea. They are in two divisions
of the Texel and Meufc. The English have not
more than 5 vessels in fight from the Texel.

the French corsairs have taken advantage of the
absence of the English cruisers from the neigh
borhood of Dunkirk and the channel, and have
made captures even upon thecoafts of England.

loss to underhand, in which it was stated
that a secret committee, had been seeking
the removal of an officer of Revenue in
some neighbouring town ; so many of
ficers of that description have abused
their authority to purposes of persecution
and avarice, that excepting the fare!
committee part of the article, one might
have put a finger on any part of the of
ficial map without danger of error. Up
on enquiry, however, we found that the
Rate of Delaware was the precise fcite
in question, and Allen M'Lane, Esq.
the officer allued to. The article, how
ever, was incorrectly stated in a few par=
ticulars. There was no secret committee,
but a fair, open and manly accusation
of abuse of office, certified upon the
oaths of several persons. Again, it was
not to the p^efent administration that the
complaint was made, but to the late,
when Mr Wolcott presided in the Treas:
ury. Neither is it true that the officer
in question has been reinstated, for he
never was dismissed ; the truth is, that
the investigation is now going on in Del
aware, and of course the Executive can
not have decided on the difmiffion or
continuance in office but upon the proof
or difproof of the criminality charged.
It was rather indifcre^ in the Philadelphia
Gazette to bring the fubje& into notice
during the investigation ; but as it has
been done we think it right to let the
matter ft rait.
FOREIGN ARTIC LES.

Welearn, with pleafare, that the Republicans
in Salilbury, to the number of about 200, met at
the North meeting house, the qthinft. in honor
of the day which gave our nation birth. They had
an oration, dinner, toasts, &c. with hilarity.
Itis also with pleasure, we notice the meeting
of our Republican brethren in Bofcawen ; who,
we understand, were much indebted to Lieut. Si
las Call, whole military spirit & exercises, awoke
frelh ardour in the patriotic breast, and gave a
sweet zest to the erj oyments ol the ever memota

breathe a sweet incense, highly congenial to the
patriotic feelings. In most of the towns, where 7
Boston, july 13. By papers in our
possession, it appears, that the French
Republic, after a series of the most ex#
traordinary viciffitades in her fortunes,
has at length a firm a^d free government,
under the auspices of as great a man as
this or any age has produced. Order if
preserved, persons and property secured,
freedom of worship eftabfyfhed ; and
the Law governs without favour or
affection. The arts and fences are
encouraged, taxes are diminiwed, and
an almost universal tranquillity pervades
each and every department, froni Pied
mont to the Belgic. This at leaft\is the
picture given, not only by the French pa
pers, but by every gentleman of candour
and integrity who has lately visited that
wonderful nation.
Flour in France is two thirds cheaper
than in England; and it is scarcely felt
that they are yet at war. While her for#
mer enemies, such as Austria, Prussia,
Spain, Holland and the Northern Pow#
ers, are now ranked among herfirmeft
friends and faithful allies.
It is asserted that the land tax in France
for the last year, is reduced already one
third ; and Bonaparte is still as much re
fpeded and beloved in that great Re
public, as was Washington himfelf,
in the height of his popularity, in this
country.
IMPORTANT. —Last night arrived at
this port the ship Eliza, Livingston, from
Charleston. Capt. Livingston states, that
just before he left Charleston, a vessel
arrived there from Hamburg, whence
she failed the 30th of April, the Captain
of which reports, and which is confirm
ed by a letter from a merchant there,
that intelligence had been received at
Hamburg, that the Ruffian and Swedish
fleets having formed a junction in the
Baltic, had a BATTLE with Nelson,
who after removing his flag four times
in the action, sustained a compleat de#
feat, with the loss of 13 (hips of the line,
and the residue of his fleet completely
