The Forgery of Letters addre(Ted to the Presi
dent under the name of « Nicholas Geoffry," has
been fufficiently exposed. A person hign in office
(Mr ; Rutledge) is charged with the freedom of
borrowing " an unoffending individual's name," to
serve the cause of party. If such men are entitled
Honorable, such tricks are not fo.-~
Major Seth Whitmore, of Winchester in Con
necticut, the gentleman who was so lately honor
ed by a prosecution and fine for /edition by the
federal party in that State, has been Since cbofen by
his fellow townsmen to represent them in the Le
gislature.
The eVent of the Delaware ele&ion is
highly important. It adds a state to the
republican interest. The popularity of Mr.
Bayard was calculated on as a certain securi
ty. His exertions during the last session of
Congress are well known ; and it is equally
well known, that on his talents and afliduity
the greatest reliince was placed by his party.
Mr. Rodney is a johng man whose charac
ter and talents) according to the belt informa
tion, warrant the high esteem in which he
is held by his fellow-citizens.
MILITARY
Yesterday the Portsmouth Artillery, command
ed by Capt. Edward J. Long, made their fecund
appearance this season ; although a small part of
this highly refpedtable corps were under arms,
the fpuit and correands with which their
Manoeuvres on the parade were performed, com
manded the highett approbation of a large con
course of fpeltators.
On the 18th inst. the Second Lieutenant in the
Portsmouth Artillery Company, (Mr. Richard
Evans) resigned his commifHon. Ihe resignation
of this 'able officer was regretted by the whole
Company ; they e^preffed their unanimous thahks
for his past ferviecs by three cheers and three guns.

characaturing him in every distortion u hich pre

of any party has a fairer claim to a well earned
reputation than Mr. Jefferfon ? And shall the

'Federal Forgeries.
We have seen a letter by which another vile for
gery has been detected. A letter was addressed to
the Preficleut, recommending certain persons to
office, in the name of a Republican . member of
Congress. A difeovery of the base trick was sea
sonable, and it is expected that the villain will be
discovered. Such are the measures of fame men
to get into office, who profefs to defp.fe the ad

"TRUE AS THE DIAL TO THE SUN."
Portsmouth, (n.h.)Octobi r 26.
ffl he valuable letter of Mr. Bacon, one
of the Maflachufetts delegates in Congress, is
recommended to the perusal of our readers,
as containing an ample refutation of certain
federal calumnies againd the present admin
illration. It is by such candid Hatements of
the motives and tendencies of public mea
fuies, that rational men arc to be convinced.
The greediness with which the Federal
Gormandizers pass from one dilh of dander
to another, and devour the naufeons doses
which are served up to them by their caterer
Callender, brings to our mind the fol
lowing whimsical description from Peter
Pindar:
[The reader, we trust, will pardon the
Indelicacy of the allusion, when he confijers
the fubjed to which it is applied.]
At Paris, in France, General Dnfoc, Governor

The character of tailender begins to appear
even to his patrons. They don't know how to
prove that a man was paid to induce him to write
a Book, after it was written. The last Examiner
fays, the Recorder had little original matter last
time, because Callender was drunk the whble
week.
Letters from France, received by the ship
Benjamin Franklin, lately arrived at Phila
delphia, from Havre de Grace, mentions that
the drafts issued by Mr. Pichon lad spring,
to the amount of 150,000 dollars, have
been duly paid ; and the fame letters express
a confidence that the subsequent ones will
likewise meet with a punctual payment. It
is further said, the French government have
provided a large fund in the United States,
to be appropriated to their eXpences, until
full confidence in bills is restored, and to
prevent further drafts. [Bffl.Gaz.]

An American Ship called the Philadelphia, of about
400 tons, bound to Antwerp with a cargo of sugar,
coffee, indigo, tea, linens and cotton, piloted by a
Dutch pilot which She got at Flushing, was run a-
Shore pu the banks of the Scheldt. This event has
determined the merchants to apply to the govern
ment for French pilots, to be stationed at the
mouth of the Scheldt, for the more fafe navigation
of that river in future.
Republican Integrity.
When Lord Carlifle, Mr. Eden and governor
Johnston came to this country, as commissioners
to accommodate the differences between Great
Britain and the United States, they employed an
American lady to make overtures to several of the
leading inembers of Congress. To Gen. Read,
die was authorifed to promise the fam ot £. 10,000
Eerling, and the best office in this country in his
majesty's gift, on condition of exercising his tal
ents and influence in bringing about a reconcilia
tion between the contending parties. His reply
to this proportion is perhaps equal to any thing on
record :“ Madam," said he, I am not worth pur
chasing, but such as fam, “ the King of England is
not rich enough to do it ."
Abuse of the President—The recent endeavors
to injure the adminifiration by abusing the presi
