ARISTIDES.
No. 1.
To the Citizens of Western America.
AT this eventful crisis of American concerns, a citizen, who is sensible of the danger to which he is exposed, by an attempt to awaken the feelings of his country and to excite it to reflection, ventures to call your attention from objects of less importance, to those in which you are deeply interested. He claims your attention, not from a vain desire to promote those useless and idle murmurings too common in society. His unaffected feeling would be to rouse the genuine feelings of 1775, awaken the slumbering and dispel the fatal apathy, which seems to have seized the patriots of that day. And while he thus would attempt to renew the spirit of that important moment, which gave birth to the liberty of man, he neither fears the resentment of the unworthy deserters of their country's good, nor solicits your favor—a conviction of the impending dangers to which you are exposed, justify in his mind every effort to awaken you to your real situation.
Deeply interested in every event important to the happiness of America, we cannot but partake in the sensations which arise at this solemn crisis—distant observers as we are, of the infinitely various changes in men and measures on the Atlantic coast, we perhaps are better qualified to judge aright, respecting the transactions of our government, than those who are immediately under its influence—amidst the conflict of contending interests which we there discover, it is difficult at first view to trace the causes or consequences of political measures. But the mind devoted to researches, which have for their object the real happiness of mankind, can distinguish the truth with a degree of accuracy, although enveloped in the dark and intricate labyrinth of intrigue.
The period has arrived when to observe and be silent is no longer a virtue; it is our duty and our substantial interest requires us not only carefully to watch over, but firmly to protect those blessings for which we so dearly paid. In the enlightened day in which we live, we have not perhaps to fear an immediate and direct deprivation of those rights which we hold sacred—but it becomes us to inquire to what extent incessant and almost insensible inroads on those rights will reach. And whether from the unceasing thirst for domination which power begets, we have not more to dread from the gradual approach of political vice, than from its most direct attacks. Those inquiries worthy the attention of every freeman; and however unwilling we may be to excite improper discontent in the minds of our fellow citizens and alarm them with imaginary evils—he who faithfully and candidly exposes to their view dangers which he dreads, deserves not their censure.
We have infinitely more to apprehend from supineness and inattention to the most important of all human concerns, the preservation of our rights, than from an excess of watchfulness. We who are in possession of a large share of political happiness, wrap ourselves in security and nothing but a self-evident encroachment on our freedom will rouse us; our passions must generally be excited before we begin to reflect. It will, perhaps, be inquired what particular incident has occurred to awaken us—although no particular one remarkable for its malignity should be discovered; we shall on a fair and candid examination find that a complication of political inquiry renders the situation of the United States truly affecting. To know the real situation in which we stand, it will be necessary to review the conduct of the administration of our government, and even extend our inquiries into the origin of our association. But before this task is undertaken, it will be proper to take a slight view of our present situation.
The period has arrived when the man who dares avow an attachment to the cause of liberty and equality, is exposed to the tortures of the inquisition erected under the eye of the administration of the general government—no character is too dignified—no fame too fair, to escape the assassinating calumny of the wretched hirelings of our administration and their corrupt-
ing allies the British. A patriot of 75 with a spirit of divination could not have foretold, that at this time, it would be dangerous at the seat of American government, to declare a fixed aversion to royalty and its vices; and to profess an attachment to the cause of those who were struggling for liberty. Such however is the fact; and he who is so hardy as to make the experiment, will feel the lash of offended aristocracy. If his person should escape for the present, his reputation will be blasted by every infamous artifice that falsehood and calumny can invent. Every incident of his life will be exposed with the most malignant perversion of his motives: the vile panders of administration will insinuate themselves into the secret recesses of his domestic concerns, and expose every weakness which the keen eye of malice can magnify to a crime. No part of the United States seems exempt from the observation of British hirelings—no collection of citizens are free from the ridicule of their mercenary Cobber. Express a sentiment adverse to the conduct of administration, and it flies with the utmost rapidity to the leaders of the inquisition.
Infinitely superior to the shafts of hireling ridicule, and proof against the venomous breath of British slander, let us as becomes the freemen of America, inquire into the causes that have thus rapidly debased our infant government. In our inquiries after political truth, we must not suffer ourselves to be influenced by those imposing names, attached either to men or measures. The enemies to equal liberty are profuse in the epithets they affix on those who stand forth in defence of the rights of man; and they assume with equal modesty every name descriptive of public virtue.
It has become a matter of some difficulty to distinguish the friend of liberty and the real American. If we were to suppose that those who profess to be attached to the federal government, who affect to be lovers of order and averse to licentiousness, were that class of men who fought and bled in defence of liberty, we should err extremely. We shall on inquiry find that virtuous band of federalists to be composed of tories and their descendants, British merchants and Americans their slaves, sycophants who swarm around all governments, bankers, speculators, stock holders, certificate holders, Yankees of degenerate principles, royalists disguised and aristocrats unmasked. This is the virtuous band who from the purest affection to American liberty, rally around the standard of our immaculate administration, and on whom in time of need it will rely for support.
If we look for the genuine American, amidst those who feel the spirit of 75; who profess to feel grateful sensations towards their first allies the French; who abhor the British government and its mercenaries; and who despise the administration of any government which patronizes the crimes of royalty, and fleches from the citizen, by every indirect means, the honest earnings of his labour and squanders it on the toad eaters of government—The virtuous band of federalists would lead us to suppose that men of this description were anarchists, patrons of licentiousness, sans culottes and fraternizing ragamuffins, only fit for the guillotine. But happy for us, we are so far removed from those foul nests of political iniquity, the large commercial cities on the Atlantic shore, that we can think and act like the free born sons of America ought to do. We can distinguish between those who are friends to the cause of equal liberty, in whatever country it may be struggling with unjust domination—and those who to gain and preserve wealth and undue ascendancy over mankind, would trample on the sacred rights of man and sacrifice millions of citizens.
ARISTIDES.
PARIS, June 5.
The treaty of peace with the Emperor is signed. There will be no congress. The Emperor has undertaken to arrange every thing relating to the princes of the empire, and to act as a mediator with the King of England. This news is official.
June 10.
A decree of the Executive Directory authorises general Buonaparte to make new intercessions with the Emperor, in favor of La Fayette and the other prisoners at Olmutz.
June 12. OF PEACE.
An English cartel has arrived at Calais with dispatches, containing two packets, one for the municipality, in which was found inclosed a letter, signed Grenville, by which the English minister, on informing them that Mr. Pitt was no longer in place, requested them to forward instantly to the Directory the packet intended for them. These dispatches contain new overtures made by the King, to the Directory, to bring about a prompt and definitive pacification—The high esteem in which citizen Barthélemy is held in England, and the happy influence of his nomination, will contribute no little to accelerate this moment. General peace will therefore probably be one of the first benefits for which France will be indebted to its new director. He could not arrive under more happy auspices.
June 19.
Notwithstanding the language of the English papers we are assured that this deposition of Mr. Pitt, has been officially announced to the French government.
The proposition brought by the packet boat from Calais, says the 'Journal of Freemen,' were only propositions 'Ala MALMSBURY.' They were intended to procure a passport for an English minister who would not treat except in a Congress. The directory has supported the character which it developed relative to the policy of Pitt, and will not treat except with England alone.
NEW-LONDON, August 2.
We are informed, says an Albany paper, by a gentleman of this city, who left the county of Onondago on Saturday last, that on the preceding evening a gentleman arrived there from Niagara, who gave information that the British troops in that quarter, with a general muster of Indians, headed by Col. Brandt, had marched towards the Mississippi, in hopes of meeting a large force of Spaniards and French, in their progress towards Canada; and that a company of American artillery had also marched on the same route, for the purpose of protecting the neutrality and honor of the United States.
BOSTON, August 8.
At a numerous meeting of the Whig Club of England, held at the Crown and Anchor tavern in the Strand, on Tuesday the 6th of June 1797.
The Earl of Thanet in the chair. On the motion of General Tarleton, seconded by Mr. Fox, it was unanimously resolved,
"That the Polish general Thaddæus Kosciusko, be requested by the Club to accept of a sword, as a public testimony of their sense of his exalted virtue, and of his gallant, generous, and exemplary efforts to save his country."
Mr. Fox moved, and it was resolved unanimously, "That a committee be appointed to provide a sword accordingly, and that general Tarleton do present it to general Kosciusko, in the name of the Whig Club of England."
BALTIMORE, August 15.
A gentleman arrived in this city on Sunday last from Alexandria, and brought with him and lodged in our post office here, dispatches from Mr. Pinckney to our Executive.—Those dispatches were received at Alexandria, by the ship Saratoga, captain Brewers, in 42 days from Rotterdam. Capt. B. informed the above gentleman, that the day before leaving port (June 28) he dined with general Pinckney, who informed him, that the executive Directory had invited him to return to Paris and resume his functions; that he was only waiting for fresh instructions from his government to comply with their invitation; and that every thing indicated an amicable and speedy settlement of all the differences between that country and this. Captain B. also mentions that the French government disavow the capture of American vessels—that it was principally owing to a pack of abandoned Americans in France, that orders were ever issued to molest our trade—but that they had now sunk into disgrace and the true American character began to be respected again.
It was generally reported and believed at Rotterdam, that the mutiny
in the Nore fleet had subsided, and that they had failed to join Admiral Duncan.
[Fed. Gaz.]
[The following is the copy of a hand bill published at Alexandria.]
Office of The Times, Saturday evening, August 12.
Several vessels have arrived this morning, among which is the Saratoga, Capt. Towers from Rotterdam.
Captain Towers left that place the 28th of June.—We have conversed with him, and he confirms the pleasing intelligence contained in our paper of this morning—that our differences with France, from every appearance, would be amicably settled. American vessels that had lately been carried into France had been liberated. This information he received from Mr. Pinckney himself, who was at Rotterdam with Mr. Adams. Capt. Towers has brought dispatches to the Secretary of State from Mr. Pinckney.
BY JOHN ADAMS,
President of the United States of America. A PROCLAMATION.

HERE is at my house a remarkably small African negro woman, about forty years old, speaks very broken, says her name is Jenny, and that she formerly belonged to James Rutter in London county, Virginia, who gave her her freedom; and that she came to Kentucky to see her children, who, she says, belonged to Nancy Stephens. She has been in Lexington about six weeks, and as it is possible she may be a runaway, I have thought proper to give this information in order that the owner may know where to get her.
