The sentiments which have been
expressed in the various addresses of
the citizens of the United States, ^0
our beloved President, demonstrates
the high estimation in which his ser
vices are held by them—and that he
is in their estimation, the faviour of
his country. A testimony which all
the cavillings of weak or defining
fctibblers can never invalidate,
France will surely soon br Eman
cipated from its present welched fi.

MR.RANLET,
I Send you an observation made by
a worthy member of Congress, in
the debates, which I think I have
net seen in your paper.— This gen
tieman was making feme remarks
that called up the idea of federal and
antifederal—He observed, tie did not
thirik the idea was proper 1 , fixed—
that there was many for ratifying the
confutation, and many againd it——
cenfequently from the wQrd ratify
^ be more
natural to °diftinguilh,by calling those
who were in favour of the coaftituxioh
by the appellation of RATS, & those
who were against it AN IT-RATS-^
Further; your correspondent thinks
himfelf frilly authorifed to agree,
with the ingenious gentleman, that
the definition is not only more natu
ral, brit much more expressive; fob
by the number of RATS appointed
to office under the new government,
and their large salaries—it is likely
they will consume the greeted part
of the public revenue;

in Ireland, for a rape.
His defence Was ingenious.
=He gave in proof that he
had a garden of BEANS in
which the profecutrix committ
ed, nightly, trejpaffes and dep=
redations -fora
~ That having taught her
fading his BEANS, he de
clared, if foe came again Jhe
might exped fueb consequences
as those Jhe swore to on the tri
al.
She cadde and he kept his
Word.
The court There of opinion,
tbat the notice and the tres
passes in tbe BEAN garden
purged tbe all of felony, by
Jbewing consent a priori in tbe
profecutrix—and the culprit
was acquitted.
As be departedfroni tbe bar,
Mr. CbJlello, wbo bad ^en
Courifel again ft, said—" My
good friend; you^ have made d
inog excellent defence io save
four bacon, but a very bad
one to save beans"
- And it was remarked that
