With this day commences the third year
of the administration of Mr. Jefferfon ; if on
a review ofthe measures adopted under it
within the two last years there is cause to
Rejoice, the profpea before us is not less
flattering ; indeed the blessings refusing
from the change have been so univerlally
and sensibly felt, that the mere recurrence of
the day, without any excitement from the
public prints, must call form emotions of
gratitude to the founders of the present hap
py form of government by which the people
are enabled to displace obnoxious officers,
and Supply their places with men Sincerely
devoted to the welfare of tire whole commu
nity ; and encourage them to persevere in
maintaining by unity their present ascend
ency over a party whose Strength consists in
deceiving the people, or in dividing them,
hot in unmbe rs or refpedlability.,
Each successive day Since Mr. Jefferfon's
ele&on, has been accompanied by some evi
dence of the excellence of the conftitntion of
our government, of the uprightness of our
magistrates and of the demerits of the party
opposed to both-—From the exteremes to the
center of the union we have heard of the
encreafing confidence of the people in those
who a few years ago where denounced as
enemies, no date but has given tokens of af-<
tension or hopes of the future—of the feven
teen,but three or four fend federal majorities
to congress, and even these am far from be
ing ready to go to the length the leaders of
the opposing fadion would carry them The
State of parties in the next congress will de
signate more clearly than columns of anim
adversion the great preponderance of repub
lican influence ; even the fenatc, though
more remote from the controul of the peo
ple, will be purged of some of their word
enemihs. The State legislatures present a
more distinct view of the Slate of the public
mind, almost universally republican, even
Massachusetts fends 71 to 66 federalists. Yet
with these evidences before our eyes, we
are told the executive government does not
possess the confidence of the nation ; if the
nation meant ^he violent among the federal
ists, this would be true, at present it only
excites derision to talk in this way. But
while we rejoice at the pall and look with
well grouded hopes to the future if Should
never be forgotten that vigilance and un
ity are necessary to their consummation that
without these we become the prey of a de
sperate and vindictive minority, and to make
ourselves refpe&ed we must lose none of our
flrength. If every citizen determines to do
Lis duty, there is on fear but he will receive
•a continuance ofthe ease and fafety of per
son and property which are now faft under
the government of his choice. Aurora.
Extracts from Thornton's Hidory of London and
Wellminfter; after the great Fire in 1666.
“ THE fire broke out in the house oi one Farri
ner a baker, in Pudding-lane : the house was en
tirely built of wood, and pitched on the outside,
as were also all the rest in that lane" —the lane
was extremely narrow —" the buildings in the
other streets were chiefly of wood, and the flreets
narrow and irregular. The fire raged from Sat
urday, 2d Sept, till Tuefday the 5th —373 acres
of ground were uncovered, 13,200 hotites and.
89 pariih churches were destroyed the Brick
buildings near Temple bar checked it by 'little and
little until it happily got under on Wednesday
morning," - -
Observations —Chap. 20.
cc Though the deffr&Tion of London by the ,ate
dreadful fire occasioned great temporary difirefs,
yet in the end, it proved of the utmolt utility, by
restoring the city with more uniformity, conveni
ence and wholefomnefs than might have been ex
pected. Before this accident, the streets were
narrow crooked and incommodious ; the build
ings were chieffy of wood, dark, close, and ill
contrived ; and by the federal Itories projecting
beyond each other, as they were over the narrow
lireets, the circulation of the air was almost en
tirely obtruded. To these inconveniences may,
in some measure, be attributed the deftruCtion
which had been repeatedly made in the city by
Fire —and by the vifitaticfn of the plague ; tor,
as the air was confined, so the noisome vapours
hand penitential atoms were harboured and nour
kfhed. By the rebuilding of the city, and the en
largement of the streets, the free circulation of
air was admitted, the oflenfive vapours expelled,
and the city freed from pestilential disorders from
that time to this—and rendered fafe against fire by
Building in Brick, and Widening the Streets ; bpc
they Hopped fhorr, and loft an opportunity which
they have lamented ever since, by rejecting the
plan by Mr. Evline and fir Chriftopber Wren, for
widening, (Ireightening and regulating the fleets ,
—By the obstinacy of great part of the citizens in 1
refuting at that time to recede from the right ofi
building their houses on the old foundations, was}
an insurmountable obfiacle to the execution of,
this noble scheme ; which would certainly render|
the city of London one of the moll magnificent in
the universe." „ „ „
We cannot suppose that any citizen in Ports
mouth will be so tar blinded by interest and pre
judice,as to oppose the noble plan of widening and
laying out new streets on the ground now uncov
ered by the late fire. Every individual is inter
ested in promoting the plan to widen the (Ireets
and build in Brick, whenever an opportunity of
fers—every town in the union affords an example.
A prosecution for a libel has been commenced
by Ephraim Kirby, efq, the republican condidate
for the governmental chair of Connecticut, agaiuft
the editor of a paper printed in that state, entitl
ed the Vifitor,damages ten thousand dollars. This
is the third or fourth suit which has been initiall
ed by individuals on the republican fide, none at
the instance of the general government or its of
ficers—yet the federalists are clamorous about the
liberty of their presses. Without advocating or
disapproving these measures, it may be well now
and then to (hew the inconfiflency of the federal
ills when in power and out of it ; during Mr. Ad
ams's ariminillration we beard nothing but of the
licentiousness, now nothing but the liberty, of the
press ; then it was right to prosecute to fup
porx government and preserve private character,

now it is tyranny to do t'ne fim^, an? in an infin
itely lets degree ; four years ago we heard eulogies
on the common law, now it is wrong to infinite
a prosecution under it:—fuch incontittency mull be
evident to thole u ho have been political observers,
yet the party who have afted thus complain if
there is even a (hew of invelegation of the conduct
of their minions. If what they publish is corred
they have nothing to fear, if the contrary these
friends of the laws, of steady habits,fedition bills,
and of the immaculate common law, these former
enemies of licentiousness should not complain. Au.

In Rating the yeas and nays in the senate
of the United State on the question for strik
ing out Mr. Ross's regulations, and substitu
ting those of Mr. Brackenridge, we were
incorrect-— there were 15 yeas, and 11
nays, Mr. Bradley it appears voted on the
question..
It would be an admirable flroke of policy
if the federalists could drive this country in
to a War before the arrival of Mr. Munroe
in Europe—the rejult of his million must be
favorable, there can be no lefufal of " inde
mnity for the past arJ security for the fu
ture"—we are too powerful now not to make
it the interest of every European nation hav
ing transatlantic possessions to court our
friend(h:p, and finely they will not refufe
us an abjolute right ;---to prevent an amica
ble adjuftmeut of our differences appears to
be the aim of the federalifts now, as it was
when Mr. Adams sent ministers to France ;
by this pacific disposition be loft the confidence
of his former friendsand it needs excite no
wonder that Mr. Jefferfon is hated for the
fame cause.
