spring either From ignorance or a worse
source ; —ftill it can, and we presume it will
be demonstrated to 3pain and France, that
the interests of both those countries would
be deeply injured by the necelfary, the in
evitable effeft of a deliberative invasion of
bur rights on the Mississippi. On this point
it is unnecessary to dilate—There is, and can
be but one opinion in America ; and there is
but one sentiment. The spirit that exists on
the Atlantic is as indignant as that beyond the
mountains ; and if negociation Should fail ; if
moderate means Should not avail ; there is
an appeal which the undiffenting fuffrage of
America would call for, and which her unit s
ed Strength would render fuceefsful.
Under these circumstances, and a thousand
others, which it may at this moment be pru
dent rather to refle<si on, than express, we
hope, and our hope is rational, that in a Short
time our rights will be fully rellored, our
character vindicated, and a new fan&ion
givin to the superiority of those principles
which controul the measures of our govern
ment, over those which prevail too freque:.<-
ly in the councils of other nations.
Philadelphia, March 28—On Saturday
morning annul five o'clock, a tire was difeovered
in the printing-office of Mr. Thomas Plowman, in
Carter's alley, in this city, which ended in the
entire destruction of the house, and valuable prin
ting apparatus of Mr. Plowman, together with a
great quantity of valuable newly printed works of
various kinds, and printing paper. The fire sup
posed to have been accidentally communicated
from a pipe dove to the garret, where the confla
gration firft appeared, and which was so sudden
as to consume great part of the roof and upper
flory before the engines could be collected. Soon
after the water had begun to play upon the fire,
the roof fell in carrying with it the garrett floor
and the remaining floors successively to the cellar ;
several persons who were covered by the ruin
were with great difficulty extricated. Mr. Thomas
Bradford, jun. fortunately escaped by boldly pre
cipitating himfelf from one of the windows,with
out any Serious injury. Mr. C. P. Wayne was
severely bruised. Mr. Jones, cabinet maker, was
also severely bruised, as were some others whose
names we have not learned. One person we have
heard died in the course of the day in consequence
of the injury which he sustained in the fall of the
rubffifh. The house we underhand was of very fu
perficial construction,the walls it is said were only
one brick thick.

ANTI-EPIGRAMMATIC.
THE Long Tried Patriot's Ready foul,
Views with contempt the envious growl
Os Tories, Trimmers, Feds and Specs ;
Like Eagles tow'ring tow'rds the fun,
(Their lofty wings o'er Hooping Gulls) —
His noble race as yet begun,
With confidence refpedls.
While witless culls try every fide,
Pretended Patriots be denied
The Long Tried Patriots smile,
Their trimming infamy betray,
Their sordid motives then display,
Their Townsmen then beguile.
South Carolina=-We have as yet but partial ac
counts of the election for representatives from this
slate to Congress. Messrs. Lowndes, Huger,
Winn, Casey, Moore and Hampton, are elected—
the two firft are federalifts, and the four lad are
believed to be republicans.
If we had a file of some ohe of the federal
prints for a few years back, we might be induced
to make out a lift of all the plots and alarms which
have been manufactured by the men of virtue and
tatents —we know it would be rather long, and
are the more surprised that frefh ones are listened
to ; as to hoping for emendment from the federal
scribblers, we have given up that, they appeared
to vie with each other for the credit of creating
the mod alarm from the flighted cause. Aur.
The federalifts are so much disappointed in
their clamours for war and insurrection that they
vent all their spleen on the Spanish minister by
insinuations of collusions, and such other worthy
methods of detraction, ib
We hope Mr. Ross has not embraked for New-
Orleans it will be a difficult job to get back again,
added to the mortification of finding the port
•pen, bi
We conversed with a gentleman yeflefday who
informs us, that he came through Amherst on
Tuefday last, that a gang of forgers had been de
tected, to the number of 30 or 40, moil of which
had been secured in Amherst jail. They had cir
culated counterfeit bills of New-Hampshire bank
(20 dollars) and of Westerly bank (5 dollars) to a
large amount. Those that were confined in the
jail had succeeded in destroying the inside of the
building, and it was found necessary to Ration an
armed guard round <0 prevent their escape. It
appears that a combination of these villains ex
Mr. Plowman fuffers by this calamity the loss of
his whole property, the acquisition ofh series of
years of ardent and meritorious industry, We
understand that Mr. John Bioren is also a Sufferer
to a considerable amount.
