In congratulating the federalists of the United States, on the re-election of the hon. Harrison G. Otis, to a seat in the national legislature, we discharge a duty which we know will diffuse general joy throughout the continent, amongst the friends to their country's independence and honor...

In all the states which surround Massachusetts, not one equivocal character has been elected to Congress. It is to be hoped the curse will not alight on the Mother of the American Revolution, of giving political existence to any who would, by their baseness, or indecision, destroy the fair prospect of inheritance, which is allotted her children.
We are assured of the re-election of the Hon. Messrs. Otis, Sewall, and Read. Further we have not learnt. In the 11 Western District, the Hon. Theodore Sedgwick, and Thomas Ives, Esquires, are the candidates.
NEWS EXPECTED. Capt. Drinkwater arrived here on Monday, from Portland, informs that the ship Cumberland, capt Scott, in 22 days from Ireland, had arrived there on Friday last. Capt. D. could gather no particular news; but if the passage has been as brief as reported, we may reasonably expect intelligence of moment.
NEWS FROM EUROPE. Yesterday capt. Elkins, in the brig Zephyr, arrived here from the Mediterranean. On the 16th August, capt. Elkins spoke a Greek Palace, 35 days from Smyrna; from whom he learnt, that Gen. Buonaparte had arrived at Alexandria (Scandaroon) and entrenched himself, that the French still continued to hold Malta, where the French garrison consisted of 6000 men; their place in the army being supplied by an equal number of Maltese. Buonaparte took with him from Malta a 64 gun ship, and a frigate.
The engagement between the Lyon British man of war, of 64 guns, and four Spanish frigates of 36 guns each, is confirmed. A person on board the Zephyr, who was in the Lyon when the battle commenced, who says, that about the 27th July, off Minorca, at 6 o'clock, A.M. saw four Spanish frigates, one of whom had carried away her foremast. The Lyon bore down upon them, and about 10, a line was formed by the Spanish, with the disabled ship in the center. At half past 10, the Spanish commenced action, which continued very warm for half an hour, when the Spaniards tacked, and left the disabled ship, which soon after struck; and was carried into Naples. The L. on lost but one man; the Spaniards about 80 killed and wounded.
AUTHENTIC. A letter from his Excellency Governor Frederick, of Surinam, and its dependencies, to a gentleman in this town, dated Sept. 10, 1798, says: "I shall redouble my care, to preserve the tranquility and good order of the interior of the colony; which to this moment, has continued without interruption. You know, that the first and surest means is to keep up a sufficient supply of articles of the first necessity; and it is that end that I shall continue, let what will happen, to admit and protect American vessels, which bring us those articles. I write this positively, to remove from your countrymen, in the present circumstances, all fear on this subject; and to assure them they shall be received and protected, as they ever have been."
It appears by letters from France, that the taking off the embargo was a partial measure; and that it has since been renewed in all the ports of France.
The world is not so blind as not to see—nor so unjust as not to acknowledge—the striking contrast between the conduct of the United States, towards France, and her conduct towards the United States. They allow, that on the part of France, it has been one continued tissue of insolence, outrage, dissimulation and cant; while they bear witness to the modest, honourable, open and ingenuous deportment of our country.
A correspondent says, that Gen. Defourneaux, who is appointed to succeed Victor Hugues, at Guadalupe, is greatly attached to the citizens of the United States. After the destruction of the Cape, he resided some years at Philadelphia New-York and Boston, and married his lady here. He adds our correspondent, the U.S. air of Paris has not infected him, we may expect some amelioration of Guadalupe enormities during his administration. Very well. Mr. Cor elp-endent, but it must be recollected, that he has been chosen by the French Directory.
THE JACOBIN OLE. Lately erected at Dedham, was, on Monday evening last, protracted with the dirt; and yesterday, one Fairbanks, a deluded ringleader, charged with being an accessory in erecting this rallying point of insurrection and civil war, was apprehended by the Marshal of the district, accompanied by several good citizens of a neighbouring town, and brought to this town, for examination—part of which he underwent before Judge Lowell, last evening.
WORCESTER, (Mass) November 7. We have not received exact accounts of the votes given in on Monday last, for Federal Representatives, in many of the towns in this district. The following is all the statement we are able to make this week; but we hope the clerks of the several towns will enable us to be more particular in our next.
AUGUSTA, October 25. To the People of Georgia. AT a time when every nerve ought to be exerted to preserve and perpetuate your liberty and independence, a few observations on the subject may afford you some information, and be of some use at this critical period.
These observations will apply equally to those whom you may elect to represent you in congress, as those to represent you in the general assembly. A uniform advocate for Frenchmen and French measures must be a traitor to the Union, and ought to be as much avoided as the lava of a burning mountain. One of your representatives in congress having declined being a candidate, charity induces us to let him retire in peace. But the other (Mr. Baldwin) being a candidate, and using every low cunning and open effort to be re-elected, his conduct ought to be analyzed, and his public conduct examined.
If the length of time which he has been in Congress as your representative, would make good his title, he certainly stands foremost on the list; for, in February last, he was thirteen years a Member of Congress, from Georgia, and in that period he has received on his services from this state and the United States, upward of forty thousand dollars, and his expenditures are extravagantly rated at two dollars a day, making in thirteen years 9490 dollars; so that he made a clear profit, by being a Member of Congress, the enormous sum of THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. A modest republican would of himself retire from an office which he held thirteen, indeed nearly fourteen years, by which he pocketed thirty thousand dollars; but Mr. Baldwin is a French republican, he will not part with power if he can help it; and like his old friend Talleyrand, he wants a little more money.
Let us now turn our eyes to Mr. Baldwin's conduct in Congress. He voted against raising (if a case of need) 80,000 of the militia—he voted against arming our merchant vessels—he voted against providing a navy—he voted against fortifying our ports and harbours—he voted for renewing negotiations that their depredations on our commerce might continue. In short, he has on every occasion voted in favor of France, and against our own government.
The man who can thus sacrifice the government, the constitution, the laws and the honor of his native country, at the shrine of French despotism, must be influenced by motives not of the purest dye. But above all to support and countenance the scoffers of our holy religion, ought to make us pause, and enquire if he is not among those who believe there is no GOD.
A CHRISTIAN. Burke, Oct. 20, 1798.
NORFOLK, November 6. Saturday arrived here seven Masters of American vessels, viz. Ed. Jones, of the ship Mary of Charleston (S.C.) Charles Bridgham, of the ship Suffolk, of Alexandria; Christopher Frank, of the brig Lucy, of Boston; Thomas Shaw, of the brig Fufiler, Portsmouth (N.H.) Edward Watts, of the brig Maria, of do. Robert Strong, of the schooner Charlotte, of Portland; H. Brookings, of the sloop Friendship, of Boston, from Point Petre, Guadalupe (by way of St. Thomas's) where they were carried to, their vessels condemned without the form of a trial, or any kind of hearing, and put on board a prison ship, and there confined until the 4th ult. when they were liberated on their parole of honor not to take up arms against the French republic, until regularly exchanged as prisoners of war.
not to take up arms against the French republic, until regularly exchanged as prisoners of war. Privateers are daily fitting out and sailing, who capture and bring in all vessels without discrimination. Their treatment on board was an allowance of 40z. salt fish (sometimes changed for 3 oz. beef) 4lb. bread, and plenty of water.
The privateersmen did not forget to rob them of all their wearing apparel, &c. &c. Left there a number of other masters of vessels, among whom are Capt. Knox, of the brig Jane, of Philadelphia; Capt. Clark of the brig Iris, of New-Haven; Captain Treadwell, of the schooner Olive, of Boston; Capt. Raynes, of the schooner Clarissa, and Capt. Moulton, of the brig Serapis, of Old York; Captains Bartlett and Hutchings, of Newbury Port; Capt. ——, of the schooner Nancy, of New York, and several others, names unknown—all liberated on the same terms.
As they passed Bassetterre, were informed that twelve Americans were in jail here, being the masters and crews of two Newbury Port vessels lately carried in.
The above mentioned masters desire thus publicly to return their thanks to Captain Joshua Prebble, of the schooner John, of Frederickburg, for his polite treatment while on their passage from St. Thomas's, where he was so obliging as to offer them a passage to America.
The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14
The whole of the present confusion and trouble of Europe is a barbarous attack on the grand cement of civil society; the grand principle that unites men in a social state, and carries them forward in a general course of co-operation for mutual convenience and comfort. It is property, the meum and tuum , that is the most general motive of human actions: It is the security of this that is the great end and bond of society. The co-ordinates of Europe, all civilized nations, had long gone hand in hand together, in the common paths of peaceful commerce: Even in times of war, the dominion of morality was acknowledged—the rights of nations respected. But the French nation, led on by the madness of enthusiasm, and disclaiming all regard to laws human and divine, openly professes by physical force, to pursue the great end of physical enjoyment. The rulers of France, with arms in their hands, propose to make all other nations beavers of wood and drawers of water , and that they themselves, like the ancient Romans, shall live like sovereign princes. As the price of peace to peaceful nations, they demand contributions for their own private state, as well as for the public revenue. In a word, other nations are to be slaves: the French, under the affected name of citizens , are to be the only gentlemen!— Phil. Gaz.
A fellow who has for many years hawked mint water, and other distillations about the streets, in a wheel-barrow, and who has attracted considerable attention by the dull monotony and nasal twang of his cries, has actually amassed a considerable property, by retailing out his liquors in small drams, so as to be enabled to carry on his vocation by proxy . A striking evidence, that diligence and perseverance, even tho' in the lowest calling, may, in course of time, ensure the happiest success.
A little farthing post, printed in Connecticut, bears this pompous motto: "Pliant as reeds where streams of Freedom glide, Firm as the hills to stem oppression's tide." After this should have been added, "Multum in parvo."
[From Leghorn!] Previous to Buonaparte's leaving Malta, he marched an army against Mount Vescuvius , which he took after a terrible discharge from the enemy of lava and flame, and ordered it to be sent to France, for the purpose of being added to the museum at Paris!
As a chimney sweeper of the name of Horih, in Dublin, conspired with others to set all the public offices in the city on fire; one of the Irish Journalists remarks by way of pun, that if he carried his plan of conflagration into execution, it would have been a very dark transaction .
At a late sale of Bankrupt's effects a pillow was put up to auction. The auctioneer recommended it strongly, by saying that it must be a good one to sleep on, since he could sleep on it, who owed so much.
General Washington, does not, as was expected, go on to Trenton; but remains here till the other general officers arrive, when it is expected that some effective measures for the security of the country will be immediately resolved on.
In a London paper we notice the elopement of Mrs. Grace Gammon, from the bed and board of her disconsolate partner. Who would not sympathize with a man who could not save his bacon?
Mr. HARPER. I am happy to inform my readers, that Robert Goodloe Harper, Esq. is elected by the vast majority of 1005 votes. This shows that the people of South Carolina have a just sense of the honour reflected on them by the illustrious talents and unshaken integrity of their Representative. How great do these electors appear, when compared to the constituents of a LYON or a LEID!
The influence of Mr. Harper is not confined within the walls of congress, nor within the boundaries of this extensive country. His celebrated pamphlet on the "Dispute with France" has spread all over Europe,
except in the free republic of France. It has, I believe, passed through eleven numerous editions in Great Britain; besides which an abridgement of it has been published at a low price, by which means it has reached every cottage in the kingdom. His Speech , too, on the Intercourse Bill ; that speech, in which he so nobly vindicates GENERAL WASHINGTON against the vile aspersions of MUNKRO and his crew, and in which he so ably defends the conduct of the administration; that Speech has been published in London, and, though on a subject entirely local, has been read with an avidity seldom equalled.
Thus is this gentleman the defender of the honor of the government and the country, and as such, he is entitled to the gratitude as well as the admiration of his countrymen. Porcupine.
SEE THE LYON! A curious Hibernian Lyon to be seen at Verennes in Vermont. [Price two Mills.]
This animal is said to be the most curious and extraordinary Beast ever seen in this country. Though this is confidently asserted to be the real Lyon, yet it is so far from belonging to the noble African race, that it resembles them in nothing but the name. He is said to roar much louder than the Lion which was exhibited up and down Connecticut river the year before last; but in addition to his roaring talents, he is said to have the faculty of Spitting, from which circumstance naturalists aver, that he must be of the mongrel breed, partaking in a very considerable degree of the Tiger or Cat kind.
This is supposed to be the same creature that exposed himself to view the last winter at Philadelphia, like a Monkey in all shapes to the infinite diversion of the public; where he was taken the same instant, for an Owl by his stupidity, for a Lamb by his patience, for a Cow by his courage, for an Ass by his braying, for a Cat by his spitting, and for a Lion, by nothing but his being the greatest of all beasts. He is a frightful looking animal, yet has never been found to be dangerous—for in all pugilacul contests, which are his delight, he is generally quite tame, unless armed with a wooden sword; being the same that was flog'd at Windsor, and can'd at Congress without any signs of resentment. He has, however, of late grown so reltive and troublesome, that his owners have thought fit to Cage him, where he may at any time be seen, by the curious in Beasts, who all agree in his being the most extraordinary one ever exhibited. "Walk up, gentlemen, and see the Lion." [Han. pap.]
The grateful Return. A subscription has been opened at Savannah, in Georgia, for the relief of the Suffering Poor in Philadelphia: The Editor of the Georgia Gazette remarks—"It is in pealing to be informed, that some thousands of dollars, which remained undivided among the sufferers by the fire here in 1796, will be most cheerfully relinquished in favor of the Philadelphians, accompanied with a desire to the Corporation to transmit the same immediately."
COMMUNICATION. In the military parade of this forenoon, every thing would have been highly pleasing and intereeling, but for one reflection which irresistibly stole upon the minds of the spectators, viz. that a large majority of the characters who were presenting their respects to the ILLUSTRIOUS CHIEF, differed widely from him in political sentiments; especially as to the occasion of this warlike preparation ! This idea struck a damp upon the satisfaction which otherwise would have been excited by the survey of such a scene of mingled patriotism and gratitude. Let the officers of the Philadelphia brigade of militia, who are conspicuous for personal bravery and skill, reflect upon this lamentable truth ; and while admiring the virtues and dignity of their LEADER, operate on their minds a coincidence of sentiment and conduct. Then will these public displays be accompanied with public admiration and applause.
Annapolis, November 8. Yesterday a sufficient number of members appearing, the house of delegates met, and made choice of Henry H. Chapman, Esq. of Charles county, for their Speaker.
New-York, Nov. 13. Unexampled Liberty, by the Society of Friends with New-Lebanon, (commonly called Shakers.) On the 8th inst. came to the City of Albany, consigned to the Committee, Twenty Seven Waggons, loaded with Good Provisions, consisting of flour, meal, beef, pease, &c, put up in the best order, a Voluntary Donation , from the Society of Friends, at New-Lebanon, for the relief of their afflicted Fellow-Citizens in the City of New-York. The provisions were immediately shipped on board Captain Houlton's vessel, which sailed for New-York. In recording this instance of pure genuine benevolence and charity, we feel most strongly impressed (as must every mind) with sentiments highly favorable to the moral principles of the Friends' Society. What a dignity and lustre is here added to their uniform and acknowledged character for benevolence and charity! "I was an hungred, and ye gave me food."
We are happy to learn, that our information was not quite correct, as to the number of persons drowned on Saturday last, the following are the names: Benjamin Bonnel, esq. of Chatham, Charles Hedges, David D.

Sixty Dollars Reward. MADE their escape from the Gaol in the borough of Lancaster, on Saturday evening last, between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock, two French prisoners, part of the crew of La Croyable. The one named Etienne Aultin, a native of Bordeaux in France, 26 years of age, about 5 feet 6 inches high, dark eyes and complexion, by trade a carpenter, supposed to be unacquainted with the English or German language. Had on when he went away, a white hat, pantaloons, and short jacket, tight made, and probably took with him some other clothes. The other named Peter Depries, a native of Bujon in France, 20 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches high, grey eyes, dark complexion, a seaman by occupation, a dirty ill-looking fellow. Had on when he went away, a blue sailor's jacket, with large trow trousers, an old wool hat, speaks imperfect German. Also, made his escape the same day, about nine o'clock in the morning, from the same gaol, a negro man named Peter Hudson, about 5 feet 4 inches high, of a smiling countenance, lately convicted of a felony in this county. Had on when he went away, a long blue coat, a pair of white trowsers, both ragged, and a black hat. Twenty-five dollars will be paid for apprehending and securing in any goal, each or either of the above named Frenchmen, and Ten dollars for the negro, by Christian Carpenter, jun. Sheriff.

Forty Dollars Reward. FOR APPREHENDING A GENTLEMAN NEGRO, BY NAME GEORGE or GEORGE PARKER, the property of the subscriber, who has thought proper on the night of the 24th inst. to escape from his master without any provocation or fault; he was formerly the property of Beckwith Butler, Esq. and lived a considerable time with Pottinger, who kept tavern in Frederickburg, having seen much company and travelled with several gentlemen through different parts of this state, he is much known. It is therefore conjectured he will push for some of the northern cities or towns as he has discovered an aversion to plantation work, though he may perhaps have crossed the ridge where he has a brother belonging to major Butler. This fellow is about five feet seven inches high, well proportioned and walks active and brisk, his countenance is open and agreeable enough when in good humour; he can hardly be forsook in thredwicks, and is a very capable waiting-man, would serve a barber, &c. To describe his dress would be useless, as he possessed a variety of clothes, though when dressed lately, he wore a green coat bound with white serging and spotted jacket and breeches. Whoever brings him home or secures in goal in this or any other state the said negro, to whom I may meet him again, shall have the above reward. ALEXANDER VASS. Falmouth, Oct. 23, 1798.
