FROM THE CENTINEL OF FREEDOM.
IF that venerable patriot; Dr. Franklin,
ponfidered the friendship of France, when
under a monarchy, of so much importance
to our fafety against the designs of Britain,
what would his• sensations be were he now
permitted to revisit the earth, and fee France
Formed into a great and powerful republic,
and instead of finding that union subsisting
between the two countries he so ardently re
commended to his countrymen, he Should
find a large party amongst us using every ef
fort to break offall conection with that coun
try, and coming to an open war with them:
What could have been his feelings could he
have been present and heard a man high in
office in this country, declare " that we
ought to carry on a war of extermination a
gainst the French republic, and that every
man, woman, and child in America, Should
be at eternal war with every man, woman,
and child in France r" It is said by the par
tizans of war, that the injuries and insults
which we have received from France, have
been so great, that war alone can heal the
wounded honor of our country ! lam will
ing to anmit that the French government
has in many instances, behaved sna very im-,
proper manner to this country ; the depre
dations committed upon our commerce by
their armad veflels, and their refufal to treat
with our envoys, I Shall not pretend to pal
liate or excuse. But I contend, that as
France is now disposed to dojuftice, that our
government has a&ed wifely in making ano
ther effort to preserve peace with that na
tion. Unjuftifieable as the condu& of the
late Diredory has been towards us, let me
afle, is it liberal to blame the whole nation
for ads committed by th;t government,
which is as much disapproved of at,prefent by
the people in France, as it is in this country.
Those persons who were at the head of af
fairs in France when we received those in
juries and infultl so justly complained of,
have been mostly driven from their polls and
others chosen in their places, who, beyond
all doubt, are Sincerely disposed to do justice
to fu?h of our citizens as have fuffered by
the illegal captures of their armed cruisers.
The President has, no doubt, received the
most positive assurance from the present Di
re&ory, that our Envoys Shall be received
'wtartl^ refpea whicTis dneto an independ
ent nation—and likewise, that persons Shall
be immediately appointed to treat with them
on the part of the French government. If
this is the case, let me ask, how could the
President, consistent with the duty he owes
tjs country, reject those overtures, particu
larly when the depredations on our com
merce by French vessels have nearly ceased?
At any rate, those captured of late by the
French, are by no means equal to those cap
tured by the British. Yet we hear no com
plaints of British captures by the partisans
of a French war ; they are willing to draw
a veil over every injury we receive from that
power: Is this confident with the patriot
um which thfl so much boasted of last year,
when they denounced every person who was
in favor of pacific measures at that time, as
French oartizans, and traitors to their coun
try? JUNIUS BRUTUS.
WIDE over the tremulous sea,
The moon spread her mantle of light, 1
And the gale, gently dying away,
. Breathed foft on the bosom ot night.
On the forecattle Maratan flood,
And pour'd forth his forrowful tale ;
His tears tell unseen on the flood,
His sighs pafl'd unheard on the gale :
“ Ah, wretch ! in wild anguish, he cry'd,
From country and liberty torn !
Ah Maratan, would thou hadfl died,
Ere o'er the salt waves thou wert born.
Through the groves of Angola I Gray'd,
Love and hope made my bosom their home,
There I talk'd With my favourite maifl,
Nor dreamt of the sorrow to come.
From the thicket the man hunter sprung.
My Cries echoed loud through the air;
There was fury and wrath on his tongue,
He was deaf to the voice of despair.
Accur&l be the merciless band,
Thus his love could from Maratan tear ;
And bladed this impotent hand,
That was fever'd from all 1 held dear.
Flow my tears—down my cheeks ever flow—
Still let sleep from my eye-lids depart,
And dill may the arrows of woe
Drink deep of the dream of my heart.
But hark ! o'er the filenc; of night,
My Ad%'s accents I IBr;
And moum'ul, beneath the wan light,
I fee her lov'd image appear.
Slow o'er ,e smooth ocean she glides,
As the n -I that hangs light on the ware ;
And fondly her lover (he chides,
Who lingers so long from his grave.
“ Oh, Maratan! taste the," she cries,
“ Here the reign of oppreflion is o'er ;
“ The tyrant is robb'd of his prize,
“ And Adila sorrows no more."
Now finking amidst the dim ray,
Her form seems to fade on my view :
0 ! day thee— my Adila, day !—
She beckons, and I must pursue.
To-morrow the white man in vain.
Shall proudly account mo ffi s slave:
My shackles 1 plunge in the main,
And ruth to the realms of the BRAVE !"
