who they locked in the cabin.. A
few days after they fell in with an A
merican schooner, bound from Phila
delphia to Jamaica, on board of which
Capt. Clifford put two of the French
men—the others he brought into this
port, where they arrived left Tuefday.
Threp were immediately committed to
gaol ; the prize master remained at the
marlhal's house, a prisoner. But the
citizens throughout the country were
so much enraged ar the treatment of the
French to our countrymen, that they
threatened to burn the marfhal'# house,
if the Frenchman was not immediately
sent to prison: Accordingly, he was
conduced thither last night, although
bis feet were ve'ry much frozen.
HARTFORD, March 18.
COMMUNICATION.
For some months part we have heard
much about Alien, Sedition, & Stamp
Flaws, in various parts qf the country.
In nene of the United States has there
been more clamour about the stamp
law, than in Vermont. Now let us
free with what reason the clamour has
been raised, and then look at their
Wh:fky Poles; In an estimate of the
Tale of ftampi for the bft fix monthsin
1798, (but the firft in which the law op
crated) Vermont p^id thirty five dollars,
and eighty-nine cents : Newyork, twen
ty three thousand one hundred and thirteen
dollars, eighth-nine cents : Pennsylva
nia, twenty thoafand and seventy nine dol
lars, fifty- eight cents • Maryland, siae
teen thousand feten hundred and Jixty
flex dollars, eight cents : Maffaebo
fetts, thirteen rhoufaud and two hundred
dollars : and Virginia, that great Hate,
which has the hrg it representation. ;
the molt inhabitants; and the most
Haves, : - - - - hub paid fee thousand
and thirty-eight dollars, feveky-four cents.
lam forty Kenfo^ky is not mentioned
in the edima^e ; but 1 presume the rea
foa is that flic has paid NOTHING !
What think you of Whiiky Poles /
From Jenks's Portland Gaz-rte.
A new feene of (peculation is now
before tih —France has offered to re
ceive a minifies, and has promised to
hiar our complaints. What affront
ry ! what arrogance ! what wicked
policy! What think' ye, my readers; is
the eiew of <hc Direttery in this myf
carious bufineG ? We ' will endeavor to'
unravelit. ^hen France rejected our
lot met mtniftcr, she was in hopes that
tercoodua would be patronized by the
people of Ji, country. —She, however,
djfcovered her error, and Kas refolded
to repair it by one of the most mafterfy
strokes in diplomatic hißory, Her in
-lamou< Direaprs reafod thus :—Such
has beenour treatment to America, that
rk President cannot confidently with
dignity.and honour appoint another
winifte, to negotiate a peace f —we will
therefore make the ofr r; and if he re
fufeb, as most probable he will, we shall
be able to throw the blame on the A
merican Government, and thereby ex
cise the people against it—Even Ihould
be, contrary to our willies And expecta
tions, comply with our offer still wecan
portri& the negotiation—give time for
our croifers to plunder the property of
American citizens^-ultimately we can
make such proportions as we know
will not' be accepted—and then, with
the appesrance.of hohefty and fairnefs,
we wjll juftify our proceedings, and
impure the failure of a' peace to the ob
stinacy and injuftiee of the American
minister. Therefore in either event,
we are fore to win the game—and to
tfed a change of public fentimenf.7
This, Americans ! is the plain lan
guage of the measure before u& —Read
jt, and think for yourfelvet.

The ptrfon,who had some concern in

es to assure its readers, that none of its

the former Editor,with whom he is in

whafe moral and literary character he

APOLOGY.
I have been defined to apologife for
publishing, in my last, two fart ques
tions ; and a tittle Dab at Eleaioneering.
As for the " Qjeftions," I fee no kind
of harm in them. They were com
municated by a correspondent) who ap
peared candid and wished to wound the
feelings of no honest man. He was
grieved, that fueli a report was in circu
lation, in a certain town, and wished,
merely for an investigation, that the re
port might be contradicted. If these
" qufiom" are found d on matters of
fad, ? hey ought to be exposed. If not,
humanity and justice demand, that, the
truth b- ascertained.
A# to the Dab at Electioneering —it|
was a rq^J^m fat, and aimed at no in
dividuals : I am sorry if any body,
hereabouts, feels Bounded.
— Postscript.
Since preparing the above for the press, a
gentleman, living more than 25 miles from
the College, called on me to know where I
got the piece Signed " a legal voter," infix
ing that-it mud have come from one of his
neighbors, who had always been trying to in
jure him, and keep him cut of the General
Court# I could not convince him of his
roiGske, tho' I knew and afcrted the contrary.
Av, said I to myfelf, zs he left me,
" The galled horse winces !"

DEVOTION with VICTORY.
[Between the mid impiety of a
Frenchman and the f'befwdera/ion of !
all friends of ordefr, law, and religion,l
/what a ftejking contrast !—We wiiil
not dispute the bravery or the genlr- j
al/bip of Buonaparte ; but compare ,
his bombartic beading style, after a l |
victory, with that of the modest and|
pious Nelson, after the battle of the ;
Nile. See the following effufion ef 1
gratitude to the God of Battles, in
the motnent of mingled triumph and
confufion,]
" Vanguard, off the mouth of the
(Nile, id day of Aug. 1798.
" Almighty God having blessed his Ma
jesty's arms with vi&cry, the Admiral intends
returning Public Thanksgiving for the fame
at two o'clock this day, and he recommends
every Chip doing the fame as loon as conven
ient._
" To the refpeaive Captains of the
"Squadron."
At two o'clock accordingly on that day,
public service was performed on the quarter
deck of the Vanguard, by the Rev. Mr.
Comyo, the other Chips following the ex
ample of the Admiral though perhaps not all
at the fame time.
This solemn aS of gratitude to Heaven
seemed to make a very deep impression upon
several of the prisoners, both officers and
men, some ofthe former of whom remarked,
“that it was no wonder we conld preserve
such order and discipline, when we could
ipiprefs the minds of our men, with such
fentimenta after a viaory so great, and at a
moment of such seeming confuhon."
LORD NELSON.
At the latter end of ia& year, this gallant
Officer received a pension of a thousand
pounds per annum, in consequence, as was
said, of the loss of his arm, but in fa& a# a
final! recompeace for a whole life of danger,
hardship, enterprize, and service. Previous
to the iffning of the grant a positive custom
required, that he ffiould diftin&ly Bate his
services to hit Majesty. The follbwlag is
the memorial which was delivered in upon
the occasion :—
To the Kings most Excellent Majesty, the
memorial of Sir Horatio Nelson, K'.B. and
a Rear Admiral in your Majeftfs fleet
HUMBLY SHEWETH, ''

[A BALTIMORE GAZETTE
Has the following pertinent remarks on the
late Sunday Riot, which took place among the;
United Irishmen in Philadelphia.];
" Nothing more is necessary , condemn
these rioters, than their choice of Sunday for
the tranfaaion. Hard, indeed, that not one
day in the week Gould be secure to thole who
with to spend it in peace, quietneft, & P ra y; l
er, France would have never been rendered
so detestable for its horrid enormities, had
! not religion been 6r° prostrated. At pre - ,
ent there is not, not has there been for many ,
years,.a day of prayer and rest in their coun
try. It is inconsistent with jacobin princi
ples—and fbould they ever endeavour to in
troduce such into our country, they will firft
attempt to lessen the refpe& we have for the
sabbath. This done, morality goes, of course.
On this account, it is much to be wished for,
that these gentlemen, who came over diffat
istied with their own country; and now very
little better pleated with the one they have
come to, will be so handled as to force them
, back again; or make them better citizens—-
for no man can be tailed a good citizen,who,
in the view of the church; and immediate!,
after service, insults the fame by a profana
tion of the sabbath to political purposes."
