PHIL.4DFIPHIA, NOV. 14.
Veferday at Boon, about 50 French prisoners,
tvaliiliiig chiefly of negroes, were landed from on
board the Ganges Uoop of war, now lying off
Market-street. They were received by a detach
ment of marines, under the command of Lieut.
Lewis, and conduced to the jail.
At the lame time the ^'Pirates, mentioffed in
our fall, were landed from the above Ship, and al
so conduced to prison. These miserable wretches
were chained together, and as they passed through
the directs, excited the attention of a vali con*
course of people.
The trial of David Frothingham, belonging to
the Office of the Argus, for copying in our pap?r
of the 6th, a publication which previously appear
ed in federal other prints, " dating that an attempt
bad been made to purchase the establishment of the
Aurora and that Alexander Hamilton was at the
bottom of it," takesfplace this day before the Su
pretue Court.
THE petulance and ill-humour of feme of our
high-toned federal printers, on the late appoint
ment of Commissioners to France, is really curious.
Xu our latt, we noticed the ravings of Mr. Fenno,
&i this fubjeft—and ravings they may well be
called ; for but very little sense is attached to
them. It is not a little singular, that such pure
dijciples as Fenno and Carbet, (herald be among the
hen to declaim against government, because it has
teen tit to prosecute a measure, the policy of which
they cannot eaiily digest. See these very men,
truly federal, who have proinifcuonlly dubb'd
every perlon a Jacobin who dared to think differ
ent from “ the powers that be" —now come for
ward, and directly, or indirectly,charge the Pre
tiJent of the U. States with having (without their
advice) paralized the Anglo-Federalists of Ameri
ca. " Tha' the integrity of the administration,
•' (fays Fenno) under which this unhappy measure
•' arose, admits not of question, yet the wisdom
^ and policy of iis scheme, may surely be canvaJJ
-' ed with freedom, at lead by its friends, without
•- any reliuquifnment of those principles, upon
•' which they have so long, so perjeveringly, and
“so ardently defended it. Shallow in ^ed, is
' Thatpulicy, which retired into recesses intricate
" as ute -Cretan labyrinth, leaves open no aven
“ ue, by which the counjel of friends might reach
•' it. Miferabie that government, which, assailed
«' by a powerful and profligate faction, to whose
" admonitions it would be death to lillen, mult
44 be at the fame time, debarred from profiting by
44 the opinions of its mop zealous adherants !" It
Should seem that Mr. Fenno now admits, that the
fiends to government may canvass with freedom,
the wisdom or policy of its measures. This senti
ment, which we readily agree to, does not exaft
1, tally with opinions heretofore held up by Fed
crul printers. 46 The government can do no
wrong," or in other words, they are chosen by
the people to execute the will of the people—
whatever they do, the people muff acquiesce in—
therefore, when the British Treaty was ratified,
however disgusting the measure, the people were
told—that it being the free a& of government,
to complain was Jeditious —and acquiefence was
expetted. To “ canvass withfreedom the wisdom
ami policy? of this measure, was deemed focobin
ical in tire extreme 1 Now that the executive has
ten fit to differ a little from these "friends to
government, they come forward, and with an
effrontry peculiar to themselves, claim the right
of canvassing its measures. It is fit that the peo
ple should trace the conduct of these apoffles of
order, thro' their various windings—and then
they will fee if conliftency is on their fide of the
qneftion. These men have conllantly advocated
rut the majority should rule, and chat the minor
ij &oul4 be quiet. In Pennsylvania, the Repub
- Icans, bye greasy majority have elected Mr. M'-
Kem Governor —do these friends to order, &c.
quietly acquiefe ? No, they do not— but are
Taping abuse upon the man who is legitimately
telexed Governor of one of the firft Bates in the
Union. And these are the men who have been
advocating Alien Laws, Gag Bills, &c—and for
taut7 Republicans ! you fee for what 1 then be
not deceived. Shallow indeed mutt the policy of
rffit government be, which should (offer itfelf to
be influenced by such men ! Miferabie indeed mutt
that government be; which would but for a mo-<
went liken to " such a profligate faction .' — Alas
piOT fenno ! the grinders cease because they are
Capt. Boardman, who arrived here on Saturday
UU, informs, that the Ship Hope, of Norwich, of
14 guns, capt. Bill, was taken off St. Vincent's, by
a French privateer ofq guns and 80 men, and car
ried into Guadaloupe. The Frenchmen it appears,
drefled some of his people in women's clothes,
which served as a complete decoy. Gapt. Bill
fippoling her to be nothing more than a drogcr,
the privateer laid him on board before he could

His honor the Lieut. Gov. laid before the Board a Circular
Letter from his Grace the Duke of Portland, one of his M^efty's
Principal Secretaries of State, dating, that in confequencc of open
ing the ports in his Majetty's Weft India islands, to foreign vessels
for the importation of provisions, Mufcovado sugar has been per
mitted in fcvcral of the inlands, to be exported in American bot
toms, in return for the provisions brought in those veflhls,which
is not only contrary to the laws of navigation but very detri
mental to the commerce, navigation and revenue of Great-Brit
ain, especially as sugar now pays no duty on such exportation ;
and submitted to the board, the propriety of amending their re
solution of 18th August, 1798, in regard to such return cargoes :
The board having taken the fame into their mott serious con
fideratlon :
Resolved, That his honor the Lieut. Governor be advised, to
recommend to the fevcral officers of his Majefty' scuftoms, at the
feveralports of this itland, to permit the free importation of iheep,.
hogs, poultry, small live dock of all kinds, and all forts of fruit,
salted and other provilions and lumber of every description, as
well in British as infill other vessels belonging to neutral and 0-
thef Rates in amity with Great- Britain, from the day of the date
hereof until the firft day of March next, and until fix months no
tice fnould be given to the contrary : upon the like terms, charges
and conditions, and fubje& to the fame rules, regulations, vibra
tions and searches, as are observed with refpe& to vessels import
ing provisions to this iffand.
Resolved, That from and after the firft day of Jan. next, all
neutral vessels importing the foregoing articles, under the authori
ty of the above resolution, be permitted to export, from any
port or ports, place or places, of this island, such articles (sugar,
cocoa-nuts, coffee, ginger and pimento excepted) as may be ex
ported to foreign ports ; upon the like terms, stipulations, charges
and conditions, as are observed with respect to Britilh vessels, in
the like cases. True extract.
M. ATCINSON, Cl. Con.
We are far from wishing to promote envy and
jealousy between different parts of die Union—
the preservation of the federal fyOem is the firft
object of otir solicitude. But when New-England
Is continually held tip to view as the Sheet-anchor
of our fafety ; and when the feuthern Bates are li
belled for no other reason than because their rep
refentatives in Congress have dared confeient ioufly
to think and vote differently, on certain questions,
from a majority of the New-England members;
it becomes the people to examine cooly tor them
selves, whether their fonthern representatives have
not been equally assiduous as those of New-Eng
land to promote the honour, liberty and happiness
of united America.
The New-England people in general are repub
licans by nature; and if nearly all the channels ot
information in those Rates were not perverted by
a small, but infiduous and ever active fa&ion, we
are well convinced their local politics would not
at this day exhibit the fame features, in too many
"efpeds, as we find in the rotten Arißocraejes of
Europe (such as Switzerland for inßance before her
late revolution) where a few “ wellborn” families
monopolized all the honours and emoluments of
the government to themselves. But when, thro'
the undue influence of certain (peculating harpies
in New-England, principles have prevailed in those
Rates which in their effefts upon the general gov
ernment produced a funding fyflem, corroding the
the vital principles of a free constitution at the
moment of its birth, infufing it with a deadly poi
son, from which it will never recover ; a Britijh
Treaty as unconstitutional as it has been destruc
tive of our commercial rights and prosperity, and
in confluence of which we are now threatened
with a British War. When these and many other
just causes of general regret and deprecation for
years pad, may be imputed to thefineffe of a New-
England junto ; it is but a sorry policy to endeav
our to rivet our gratitude and attachment exclu
sively to New-England, at the expence of hatred,
opposition, or indifference to other equally re
spectable portions of our -common country.
1 Albany paper.
It is hoped, that the opponents to the late mis
sion toFrapce,now perceive,that they have been all
in the wrong. Switzerland seems to be abandoned
by the Archduke ; and Genoa seems to be abandon
ed by Suwarrow. Amsterdam is fafer The French
have invaded Germany again. Buonaparte is not
taken. Praffia, and Saxorty have inflexibly refuf
ed to furnifh even those Supplies of troops and
money, which the German conßitution demands:
and the prudent elector of Hanover ) who is so
meritorioußy aftiveas king of Great Britain) keeps
bis German dominions within the pale of an un
constitutional German neutrality. It must be a
pleasant fight, at a British levee, to fee the Ruffian
ambassadors giving the fraternal embrace to the
Iting of England, minister English, and turning his
plenipotentiary rear to the king of England's min
ister Hanoverian. Vie suppose, if the Ruffian were
to embr ce the Hanoverian, the king of England
would declare war and order all the Ruffian flips
to be Qen.
Recent advices from Great-Britam acquaint us,
that the national debt is arrived at five hundred
millions bfpounds Berling- Mr. Pitt, is certainly
a man of vast abilities — at encreafing the public
debt. There is no need of ere&iag a column to
perpetuate his talents in that way. England can
never be allowed to forget this great work of his.
But let America remember that, in the reign of a
(ingle KING, one thousand five hundred millions
of dollars of this debt have been accumulated.
These regal and aristocratic governments carry, in
their constitutions, the principles of death. Armies
navies—hierarchies— secret-Service-money —
parade—luxury—and wanton expence—From
such contrivances to impoverish our land, good Lord
deliver us. The bloody conflicts of Europe are
not half the evils of that devoted region. The
taxes and miseries of the fubßantial and inducti
ons elates of the people will be endless and, ex
treme. May the divine father of mankind quick
ly banish despotism from the world and temper
the excesses of those whom this Bupendous- con
flift for liberty has too—too far inflamed. Itmay
be said of Republicanism, as has been happily said
before "Nullum numen abeft,fiJit : PRUDENT!a."
If the genius of liberty be prudent, all Heaven will
defend and protest her. [Phil. Aurora.
li is acknowledged on all hands, that the cap
tures from us by the British since the fufpeulion of
our intercourse with the French Republic exceed
the greatelf plunderers. How would our conn
try ring with the cry of indignation from Phila
delphia to Boston, if the French were to menace
us tor fending another mission to England for com
penfatiou. How indignant then mult every Amer
ican be, that we are threatened by the English for
fending a mission, for recovery of our money to
the French Republic ! Oh Columbia, once, " hap
py land," how do these would-be tyrants pf tne
ocean insult and injure thee. Surely the English
are full as dangerous for the evident ambition for
the unroerfal Sovereignty of the Ocean, and for the
Colonies of their enemies, as the French for their
projects in Europe—Wherever the French go,
they at least find real deJpetifm in the old Govern
ment of the Country. But the Englilh cripple ev
ery nation's means of naval defence, and chances
of foreign trade; . \ {

In ancient times, Denmark and Norway used to
ravage at pleasure, lay waste England ; and it is
not yet three centuries since the Czar of Mufeevy
made offers of marriage to the daughter of an En
glish Earl, and was refufed! Let ns contrail these
times with the present, and then think on the La
bility of human affairs. These changes are great,
but not unexampled : An Earl of Flanders was
crowned at Constantinople ; and Bruges and Ghent
were larger and richer than London and Paris both
put together. Their Size remains, but there is
now no music in the ancient halls—it may be said,
fab ingemlittora truncos.
Mr. Hamilton has commenced a prosecution a
gaintt the Editor of the N.York Patriotic Register
Mr. David Frothingham, for publishing a piece, in
timating that, he, (Mr. H.) was concerned in the
business of endeavouring to buy of Mrs. Eacne the
right of the Aurora. Mr. H. appears to be very
much offended at this charge, , as, he fays, it is
“ calculated to inspire a belief that the Independence
“ and liberty of the press, are endangered by the
" intrigues of ambitious citizens, aided by foreign
gold." 0 ! theJe sons of Zeruiah !
The last injunctions of Mr. Greenleaf, the late
Editor of the Argus, and Patriotic Register; was
that their pages might never be polluted to the
adulation of power, nor become the apologists of
vice, ambition, tyranny, or oppression.
The numerous friends which Mr, Munroe has
in Virginia, and the exertions they are making to
ensure his election as Governor, teem to indicate
that the people of that State are not backward in
Importing those Republican principles to which
they have hitherto adhered, and for which, (to use
the expreflion of one of their " truly" Jacobin
editors) " they have been so copiously abated."
