ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS.
rpHE Government of the U
nited States, has been
compared to a (hip—vie like the
simile ; the ship is, thank heav
en now under an easy fail, with
an chosen complement of officers
and men ; the crew contented
and happy —every man under
fands his duty, and sedulously
performs it —the profpea is flat
tering—and though the voyage
is long, the concerned have eve
ry reason to hope for the most
prosperous issue to the adven
ture.
There are some fellows who
wished to enter, but all the births
being taken up, they were not
received —and it appears for
tunace—for there is great reason
to suppose they would have rail
ed a mutiny on board —they turn
out to be a querulous, uneasy
gang—and are fabricating and
circulating the most infamous re
ports refpeaing the voyage, the
officers and men —it will not be
their fault if the enterprise does
not finally mifearry—and the

rocks or quick sands, and there
be stove to pieces.—These fel
