Portsmouth, July 20, 1802.
The Vice-President is laid to be on a tour of the
taftern States.
To America the events in France must
present objects of the deepeff sorrow. For
the French people whose blood was shed in
support of American independence, Ameri
cans must ever retain a cordial and generous
regard—an interest in their prosperity and
freedom—a sorrow for their misfortunes or
their debasement. Ent with their form of
government we have nothing to do ; there is
nothing in it congenial with ours nor enti
tled to our pralfe. With regard to the chief
of the French government, while he led her
armies to vi&ory against the legions of com
bined defects, he excited the admiration and
the applause of freemen. Bonaparte at Lodi
and at Marengo, held the fame ellimation
with freemen that Dumouriez held at Ge
mappe—thc gallant leader of armed freemen
against the slaves of despotism. Dumouriez
holds a different flation in hiftory at this
time ; and though their conditions are dis
similar, Bonaparte will perhaps obtain more
of that fame which follows temporary success
in magnificent enterprizes, but he will lose
the etteem of the whole virtuous part of man
kind.
In America there can be but one fentl
tnent in the minds of those who love liberty;
and the cause of virtue ; who love represen
tative democracy ; and that sentiment must
be Commiseration for a people who, after
conquering all Europe, have funk into indif
ference for the cause which inspired them
with glorious h roifm.
In any man not funk into the depths
of ignorant stupidity or corruption---whose
foul is not tormented by the confeioufnefs of
incurable depravity--or whose mind is so de
praved by a vicious education or habitual
proftigacy—the misfortunes of a single hu
man being, much less the misfortunes of
, thirty millions would excite companion, com
miseration, or pity. Such are the emotions
which we feel for France—and which we
can neither repress nor conceal.
If however the French people conceive
such a system as prevails, belt suited to their
moral and physical circumstances, we have
no right to dispute with them upon their
own concerns. It is our duty to look more
attentively to our own rights, and whenever
we perceive the causes of danger to France
or any other nation, to take early and firm
precautions against similar evil at home.—
Aurora.
gentleman in Baltimore.
"Reforesting the very interesting matter to
American creditors, nothing is yet decided ;
our Minister has demanded officially of the
Minister of Exterior Relations, that our
claims be paid ; several official notes have
passed between them on the fubjeSt, and at
last a report thereon is laid before the Con
fids ; so the business now stands and you will
allow that no great progress has been made.
All the other nedtral creditors are in the lame
predicament. The Legislative Body are Hill

Philadelphia, July 9.
The citizens of this commonwealth at the
ensuing election, ought to take special care
to injlru£t their representatives to promote, by
every eligible means, the improvement of
roads, bridges and canals. We already sur
pass every Rate in the Union in those par
ticulars, so far as we have gone ; and to know
correctly how superior our policy is to that
'of neighboring Rates, it would be ufeful to
travel in Maryland, the next Rate to us,
where there is scarcely a (tone bridge to be
seen, or a creek or river, of any depth, which
thero is not great peril in passing. It is ow
ing to our superior policy and improvement,
that we possess a larger white population than
any Rate in the Union-—that our lands bear
a higher value, and our produce brings a
higher price. Thousands are yearly emi
grated into Pennfylvania--rthe causes are to
be found in our policy and improvement.
Rxtrafl of a letter dated Paris, May 5, to a
A person of the name of John Michael,
who formerly held a commission in the army
of the United States, and who goes out of
military feivice in consequence of a law of
Congress, has made an attack upon the ad
ministration, because he was not retained in
Jervice—he begins a letter on the fubjeft of
his difeharge in this way. "My long con
“ templated sentence of deftruaion has at
" length come to hand. Our infamous Pre
" fident has ordered me into civil life."
If any thing were wanting to prove the
evils of military eUablifhments, this man's
detestable idea of going into civil life is to
him deJlruaion^-and the President, (whom
he nevertheless was willing to serve) is infa
mous for taking him from idleness.
The Federalists are a^uatly impoflors
and falfe prophets. They vowed arid de
clared, that if ever Jefferfon was placed in
the Presidential chair, that our Churches
would be demolished, and religion banished
from our happy land How revetfe is the
faa! Every Newspaper furnifhes us with
accounts of the " revival of religion," in
different parts of the Union. When shall
we be purged of this " race of vipers ?---
These Scribes, and Pharisees, Hypocrites,"
who make long Speeches to scare women and
children? Chron.
What do that people observe, who, happy
under an upright coridu& of public affairs,
fuffer themselves to be alarmed into an im
proper bias against the guardians of their
liberty ! Do they not deserve to be (hackled
with the manacles of ffavery ? Yes, even
more. When the concerns of the nation
are managed with economy and ability, and
no charge is exhibited against the magillrate
but the want of pomp and extravagance, it
evidently follows that there is no real ground
of complaint ; and where there is no cau\e
for complaining, how can the necessity exist
for raising enemies to him whom our own
choice has made the ruler ?—We speak of
fefferfon. The people it is hoped are too
wife to fuffer themselves at a time of the
greatest prosperity, to be duped by the de
signing, or fuffer themselves to be deluded
by those imaginary terrors which are de
pi&ed by the factious demagogues of the
day ; those disappointed men, who, were they
in power, would soon convince us that they
rule alone with a rod of iron.
If, however, under such circumstances,
the citizens of the United States should fuf
fer themselves to be fermented to a point
deftruaive to their welfare, we hesitate not
to fay, that they deserve something worse
than slavery ; they would merit the utmost,
severity of an Egyptian talk-master.

Seeks the salubrious fount with open lips,
