ARISTIDES.
No. V.
To the Citizens of Western America
TO pursue our administration thro' all their ungenerous policy respecting the navigation of the Mississippi and the indian warfare, would be but to repeat a series of follies and vices, too deeply impressed in the minds of the citizens of the west, to be shortly effaced.
Under the full influence of principles so ungenerous to the genuine spirit of Republican government, we find our administration called upon to take a part in the great transactions of Europe. The question submitted to their decision was solemn and important. Whether the freemen of America would lend an assisting hand, to relieve from the galling chains of despotism, their friends, their allies, and enslaved millions. Independent of every generous and grateful consideration, our experience convinces us that sound policy dictated a close adherence to the cause of liberty espoused by the French nation.
It is painful to dwell on a gloomy and melancholy picture, but the task is indispensable. The physician is compelled to probe to the bottom the cankerous sore, before he can apply his healing applications.
having pursued a system of policy, inimical to France, and convinced that Republic, beyond the shadow of doubt, that although we protected an attachment to the cause of Liberty, our administration were at heart its devoted enemies. When she no longer will submit to our duplicity, and from necessity imitates the conduct of our friends the British, we are alive to our injured interest.
ARISTIDES. MIL 4N June 13. The definitive treaty of peace between France and Austria was concluded on the 18th ult. at Campo Formio.
part of the Emperor, by the Neapolitan ambassador, Marquis di Gallo, and the Austrian general, Count de Meerfeld.

Among the pictures are the master pieces of Paul Veronese, Titian and Palma. Among the statues are the four famous horses of the Sun, which are of the workmanship of Lysippus.

We this day learn that the Irish parliament is actually dissolved—much we understand, to the disappointment of our ministers here who had dispatched an express to delay the dissolution.
It is fixed that parliament should be prorogued on Friday next; The deluded to treason in various parts of Ireland, still continue to give up arms, take the oath of allegiance, and embrace the amnesty and forgiveness held out by the lenience of government.
July 14.
Letters from Germany mention, that the Hessians had attempted to pass the line of demarcation, and the French had opposed it;
in consequence of which, a bloody battle had taken place between the two parties.
At 12 o'clock on Wednesday night Mr. Kast, a king's messenger arrived in town from Lord Malmesbury.
Several of the ministers being out of town, it was 1 o'clock yesterday before the cabinet met to hear the dispatches read; and such has been the profound secrecy observed in regard to them, that nothing has transpired to us on which we close to venture an opinion.
We learn that several conferences have taken place between M. Le Tourneur and Lord Malmesbury, and that each has delivered to the other his project. The dispatches, we believe, wholly relate to the propositions made by the French as the basis of peace.
The Paris papers received contained no other news than of the sailing of a division of the French fleet from Toulon, and of a very small vote of credit being granted to the minister of marine, until he makes up his accounts.
On Monday the 10 instant the following seven mutineers, of the Leopard, viz. Dennis Sullivan, Alexander Kawson, Wm. Welch, Joseph Pearson, Wm. Reis, Geo. Shave, and Thomas Sterling, were executed at the Nore.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
PARODY—By a News Printer.
TO dun—or not to dun? that is the question: Whether 'tis better that the purse should suffer (For lack of cash) by baneful emptiness: Or by a gentle dun to fill it up: To dun! to get the money—and be enabled To live and pay our debts—'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To dun—to be denied Denied, with 'call again'—Aye, there's the rub; For in that 'call again' what evils come— What disappointment fore—chagrin and woe— Worst time is waited—and what shoes are worn In consequence—must give me pain. —It is this That makes so many debts not worth collecting: 'Tis this which sickens business to despair, And keeps from HONEST LABOR its reward. While 'tis in language of complaint we speak, We don't forget our many, many FRIENDS; To them a debt of gratitude we owe: To them our gratitude we freely pay. Blest by their kindness, still our bark shall sail, Enjoy the pleasing calm, nor dread the boisterous gale.
