Atheism.
it certainly can be of no consequence to the
people of America what are the religious or ir
religious opinions of any other n>en. No man is
accountable for the opinions of another, any more
than one nation for those of another. The folly
which could descend to so pitiful a forgery, can
not be cdnfidered in an any point of view entitled
to refpeft or credit. The artifice isfo contempti
ble and the end to be answered so infignificant and
^inapplicable in this country, that there is no mode
If accounting for the imposture upon any princi
ples of morality.' [Philad. paper.
f It is to be hoped that the minds of the good
people of NWEngland, will be relieved from
that Hate of anxiety, which they have laboured
under, for some time part, on account of having
been made to believe that Tom Paine had been
sent for, to assist the President inoverthrcuring re
ligion—when they are aflured that the ship, yhich
N» government has y^t seen fit to make the bills
< r notes of a private Bank a tender in payment of
debts, tire produce of the land or of labour still
not answer the purpose, these mull be disposed of,
not for other articles of trade but for money or
what is fubflituted in its place, which under the
present banking fyttem in New-HampShire, will be
a kind of paper bills or notes promiling payment
in Philadelphia. What condition mutt he be in
who is legally called upon by his creditors who
will receive nothing but filter and gold in pay
ment ? He mutt it allowed opportunity to do it,
pack up his bills, earned perhaps by the sweat of
his brow, travel upwards of 400 miles and there
.demand payment, which may be refufed by the
bankers there or not at their pleasure, if payment
be refufed, a demand muff be made in due form
of law, and proper evidence be had to prove such
demand, before the holder of those bills will be
entitled to recover or even tu ask payment of the
promises.
It appears to me an evil of a serious nature that
paper bills thus circumstanced mould make any
part of our circulating medium, and the evil is
rendered more formidable from the practice of
many in receiving any bills that are offered, with
out attending to their tenor ; and teven among
those who art cautious, and who seem determined
not to be deceived, instances are conflantly occur?
jug, where, in Spite of their vigilance, they find
tnemfelves imposed on with them.
Ihave no authority for faying that people are
employed to force those bills into circulation,
but, when 1 find they are carried about in hand
foils by men, who, for a long time have not been
able to hold any copfideable amount in bills of a
more valuable description ; that they are the mod
frequently offered in payment by men who are
molt wanting in punctuality ; that payment has
been refufed to honest tradesmen, who were
k&~n to be in prefling need of their dues, because
tht <were not willing to receive them?—l con
clude, thqp all is not right.
A Citizen of N^-Hampfoire.
About ten days (Ince, a vessel arrived at Port
land, from the Well-Indies, which had the fever
on board ; apd came immediately up to one of the
wharves near the heart of the town. In conse
quence of this imprudent Bep in the Captain,near
a dozen of the refpettable inhabitants of that
young and flourishing place, have fallen victims
to the fever imported in that vessel—One of those
victims was Mr. Elilha Hart of this town (son of
Edward Hart) who had resided at that place a
bout one month.
Too much precaution cannot be used with re
fpett to vessels from sickly foreign places.

^ORr LOGIC!
The opfen contempt of veracity, the unworthy
and unmanly tricks, the inlfnlibility to personal
feeling or felf re'fpett, daily exhibited in the
prints opposed to republicanism, have been fu
uniform and delru&ive of the intended ends,
that we have seldom thought it worth while to
bellow particular attention on this branch of po
litical profligacy. The impotture of this kind,
and the use Which has been made of it in the
Trefron Federdtift, (Judge Griffith's favorite pa
per) has induced us to otter a flight article on the
fubjeft.
Beside the fyflem of open falfehood and treach
erous insinuation, the Tory prints are accustomed
to resort to a species of forgery, where, Sy the ad
dition of a letter, the change of a word, of the
fubtrattion of a fentepce, they alter the whole
sense of an article of information or of dilcuflion,
and make use of their forgery as a matter of ar
gument, We (ball give an inllance of this, mean
est of all means, to prop up a weak cause.
Among several articles of foreign news receiv
ed lateLjL there was one dated Paris, July 17, as
f°' lo 'W'
" OTthe 19th inst, will be celebrated in
the Triple of Victory a festival consecrat
ed to the principles of Theism and Toleration,
as propagatedJby Voltaire."
This article was copied into the Philadelphia
Gazette, [and the United, States Oracle of the Qay
of Saturday laft.] but with the addition of the let
ter A to the wbrdTheijm, by which it was made
ABUNDANT HARVEST !
Messrs. Printers,
NEVER, since the remembrance of the oldefl
perlon living, has this country been bluffed with a
more fruitful season. But what are the confe
quences? I aiifwer. Never was provisions, and all
kind ot Produce at a higher price. For instance,
eight years since, to my perfect know ledge, the
article of Butter was fold for five pence a pound,
a nrl other things in proportion ! But behold the
contrail ! Butter has been fold at this (abundant)
season from IJ2d.ro iJ6d. a pound. But fays one,
how can this be remedied ? Very easy indeed.
Let every inhabitant of Portsmouth, resolve with
t^mfelves that they will not purchase a pound of
Better until the price is reduced to nine pence.
A pound of Better was never worth more ; and
can well be afforded for it.
When taxes were high; produce was cheap.
But now there is comparatively no taxes, we can
not help fudging our Country brethren hard, and
charge them with not a little undue advantage!!
Further, I cannot help remarking, the low aft of
a few Batter-hawking Shopkeepers, that ^keep a
watch at the entrance of the town, and purchase
all the Better they can meet with ; and afterward
make those persons in town pay the price they fee
fit to alk. These things, Messrs. Printers, are not
right, the town as a body, at their annual meet
ing Should order them different ; and thereby the
whole would be benefited.

A gentleman who arrived yelterday in the
Cheder Town packet, fays, that by an arrival
at Newcastle, the 16th (Wednesday) from Liver
pool, in 30 days, the important intelligence is re
ceived, that general Angereau, at the head of
75,000 men, had accomplished a landing between
Deal and Dover, after a severe conflict, in which
both French and English fuffered much. Wedo
hot vouch for the truth of this intelligence, we
give it as we have it given to us, but no doubt,
this, or tomorrow's poll will afeertain the truth
