The Creditors of Scott and M c Michael, formerly merchants of this city, and who failed in the year 1763, or 1764, (and from whom the subscriber purchased bills of exchange to amount of several hundred pounds sterling, which have lain by him ever since,) are requested, EVERY MAN OF THEM that is living, to meet at the City-Tavern on Tuesday, the 15th of November next, at 6 o'clock in the evening, in order to oblige Charles Cox, formerly of this city, now of New-Jersey, and John Bayard, formerly of said city, and Speaker of the House of Assembly of said State, now of Brunswick, New-Jersey, assignees of said Scott & M c Michael, to come forward and pay over the monies they have had in their hands belonging to the creditors there 32 or 33 years. Some years ago the creditors were called together; Mr. Cox appeared on behalf of himself and Mr. Bayard, and alleged that they were apprehensive they might be brought into trouble if they parted with the money (which I apprehend is some thousands,) as his Britannic Majesty had a debt due him for government bills: it was however agreed by the creditors met, that the assignees should take the opinion of counsel; they did so, and it was that they would be safe in dividing the money among the creditors. I urged Mr. Cox to bring the business to a final close; his answer was, it would be but a trifling sum; my reply was, if ever to trifling, I would have my proportion of it. It has however lain over. I therefore hope the creditors will now come forward and oblige the assignees to divide whatever they have, and they ought to pay interest too. George Meade. Philadelphia, 2d November, 1796.
The Creditors of Van Vleck and Barton, and William Barton, & Co. (who failed in the year 1784) are earnestly requested to meet at the City-Tavern on Wednesday the 9th November, at 6 o'clock in the evening in order to oblige the surviving assignees, Stephen M c Millin, and Andrew Hodge to close those affairs. John Chandler, deceased, who was one of the assignees, once offered to the subscriber 12/6 in the pound for his debt, which is for a returned bill of 8000 guilders, with coins damages and interest, and the assignees have never paid but 5/ in the pound, though they advertised goods belonging to William Barton & Co. in the year 1784 or 1785, and allowed every creditor the liberty of buying to the amount of 10/ in the pound of their debts. George Meade. Philadelphia, November 2d, 1796.
The Creditors of Clement Biddle & Co. are requested to meet at the City-Tavern on Monday the 14th inst.—in order to oblige the assignees to a settlement of their affairs, which have lain over their twelve years; the subscriber's demand is for a returned bill of 1,000 sterling, damages 20 per cent. and interest. George Meade. Philadelphia, 3d November, 1796.
N. B. Charles Biddle's name was inserted, by mistake as an assignee. It appears he is only an agent appointed by them. The foregoing advertisements are a good specimen of assignees. I could give a further one if it was necessary. STOP THE THIEVES!!!
LAST Wednesday Evening, October 19, between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock, the bed room of Mr. Ricketts in O'Ellie's hotel was entered, either by means of a key, or at the window, by some villain or villains, who must have been acquainted with the situation of the room (as the door was found locked after they had committed the theft) who took away from amongst several trunks, ONE which contained a valuable part of Mr. Rickett's property, out of which he is not yet able to ascertain the contents particularly. After bringing the said trunk away, and emptying it of upwards of a thousand dollars in cash and bank notes, the villains left it behind the circus, during the time that the performances of the evening were going forward. It is earnestly requested, that all tavern-keepers on the stage roads, and the ferry houses, as well as all civil officers, may be watchful in securing suspicious persons, who may have a redundancy of cash, which their appearance would by no means bespeak them to be possessed of. One Hundred Dollars Reward
Will be given for securing the thief or thieves, and a further reward for securing them with the property. Oct. 21.

LONDON, September 10.
TOULON.
The capture of Toulon by Lord Hood, forms one of the most important incidents of the present war, and the particulars of it are highly interesting at the present moment. For this reason we conceive the following article, extracted from the French deputy Insard's answer to Freron, which throws a strong light on the circumstances that preceded and followed that event, will not prove unacceptable; at the same time this detail may serve as an answer to the Republicans here, who are apt to blame the conduct of the English on that occasion:—
"The crime of the 31st of May had just been perpetrated, and the ardent Republicans of the South, enraged at the triumph of the Mountain, rose in insurrection, to revenge the Convention. Their cause was sacred, but they were subdued. The Mountain flushed with success, proscribed them in a mass. Numerous scaffolds were on the point of being erected by Freron; all convenience for provisions for that town was intercepted by land, and it was unable to procure any by sea, the port being blocked up by the English. Toulon was reduced to the dreadful dilemma of submitting either to the Mountain or the English, and of surrendering itself either to the mercy of Robespierre and Freron, or to that of Lord Hood. The former threatened the city with scaffolds, and the latter promised to break them down; the former condemned us to famine, and the latter offered to supply us with corn. Freron brought the constitution of 1793, dictated by Robespierre, in the presence of the executioner, and written with the purest blood of our representatives; and Lord Hood proposed to us to acknowledge the ancient work of the constituent assembly. Under these circumstances, some of the inhabitants were weak enough to prefer bread to death; the constitution of 1790, to the anarchical code of 1793; the mitigated ancient regime to the new regime of terror; and the future despotism of Princes to the present tyranny of Freron and the dictatorship of Robespierre. However grievous this crime may be, Freron and the Mountain must attribute it to their usurpations, cruelties, and crimes, which were its only cause."
The author then proceeds to the recapture of Toulon, the consequences of which he describes in the following manner:— "The great number of persons accused of federalism, and all rich and cautious inhabitants fled with the English. The population of Toulon, which amounted to 28,000 souls, was reduced to 8,000. Pursuant to a proclamation of Freron, ordering all good and loyal citizens to repair to the Camp de Mars, 3,000 citizens proceeded to that place. The new Sardanapalus made his appearance on horseback, surrounded by cannon, troops, and the furious worshippers of their God Marat. These cannibals fell on the assembled citizens, and chose their victims, as fancy, passion, or chance directed. One seized his enemy, another his rival; some their creditors, others the husbands of women they had seduced. All eagerly grasped the most wealthy. On a signal given by Freron, the air resounded with the cries of despair, and numbers of slain were heaped one on another; Freron cried out, that those who were not dead should raise themselves; the wounded did so, the cannon thundered again, and all who did not perish by their fire were put to the sword. Upwards of 800 citizens were thus massacred without judge or jury."
At Warwick assizes, Jones and Binns, two members of one of the Democratic societies in London, were indicted, under the last act for the punishment of treason and sedition, for delivering certain political lectures at Birmingham; in the course of which they used several seditious expressions, particularly in the indictments. One Bathurst was also indicted for seditious words.—But William Smith, a material witness for the prosecution, being absent, they were all admitted to bail, on their own recognizances of £. 500 each; and the indictments are removed into the court of king's bench, for trial.
The charge against Bathurst was for saying at a public meeting in Birmingham, "Citizens, I very much approve of what has been said. I beg leave to acquaint you, that I can answer for all the members of this society, who are firmly determined to support your society. The inhabitants of Birmingham can make arms, and will make arms—I myself am prepared with a dagger."
Jones and Binns were charged with uttering a great variety of seditious words, among which were—"Will you submit to be slaves, or will you be free?—I will lose the last drop of my blood to obtain a reform in Parliament.—The king has granted it to the Corsicans, but has refused it to his natural born subjects," &c.
At Somerset an action was brought against Geo. Donilhorpe, Esq. of Somerton, for not doing his duty as a magistrate, in order to suppress a riot on the 28th of July 1796, which the evidence endeavored to prove happened on that day in Somerton. The jury found him guilty.—Judgment is to be given in the court of king's bench next term.
NEW-YORK, November 3.
LEGISLATURE OF NEW-YORK.
Yesterday at one o'clock having been assigned for that purpose, the Senate, preceded by their sergeant-at-arms, moved in procession to the government-house, and presented the following address, in answer to the Governor's speech, at the opening of the session:—
The answer of the Senate of the state of New-York, to the speech of his excellency JOHN JAY, Governor of the said state.
Sir, The occasion which has called us together at this early season, to make choice of electors for a President and Vice President of the United States, presents itself to us, as one of the greatest national magnitude.
Whilst that venerable man, who now presides over the United States, yielded to the public will, and permitted himself to be elevated to that exalted station, the public mind was tranquil, under an assurance, that there would be perfect unanimity in designating this first of men, as our President.
His having declined a re-election to this office, though much to be regretted, exhibits him in a point of view commanding the admiration of mankind. We cannot omit adding our testimony, that he has uniformly displayed in all his public walks, moderation, disinterestedness, penetration, and firmness, and that he has, on a late great constitutional and national question, evinced a steady and firm adherence to the constitution of the United States. These, Sir, are not only our sentiments, but we are firmly persuaded they are equally the sentiments of the great body of our constituents.
In deciding on electors, under these circumstances, we feel the period to be important, and that the utmost circumspection and caution are necessary, and we shall most assuredly never lose sight of the consideration, that the successor of this truly extraordinary man, ought to possess those leading principles of his predecessor, which, through the most perilous circumstances, have, under the smiles of heaven, conducted us to, and continued us in, that national prosperity, which so eminently distinguishes us amongst the nations of the earth.
We are happy to learn, that the claim of the Indians, calling themselves the Seven Nations of Canada, has been terminated and extinguished; and agree with your excellency, that under the peculiar circumstances of this case, without a reference to the justness of their claim, good policy required of us to pursue the measures adopted on this occasion.—The prospect of an adjustment of the claim of the Mohawks to other lands, and of the establishment of a friendly intercourse and confidence between us and the Indians on our borders, are also circumstances extremely grateful.
The funds of the state, and the manner in which they may be improved, and rendered productive, together with the other various and important subjects communicated by your excellency, evincive of much reflection and great solicitude for the welfare of our constituents, shall receive, as they merit our early and attentive consideration—and we beg your excellency to be assured, that we shall cheerfully and indefatigably exert ourselves to promote the interest of our constituents and the public weal.
By order of the Senate. STEPHEN VAN RENSSELAER, Pres. Senate Chamber, Nov. 7, 1796.
REPLY.
Gentlemen, I receive this address with those emotions which coincidence in opinion and a persuasion of mutual confidence naturally excite.
Whenever the independent representatives of free and enlightened republicans, bear testimony to distinguished merit, they do honor to a form of government, which in past ages has not been remarkable for justice, to real and living patriots.
It is only by adhering to those leading principles, to which you allude, that stability in our councils can be preserved, and the evils resulting from fluctuation be obviated. While legislators and statesmen are guided by those principles, our constitution will be secure from violation; wisdom and moderation will cherish union and harmony; an upright and well advised policy will consult the interests of the public; and instruction and morals will diminish ignorance and licentiousness.
From a people who know how to estimate men and measures, they who with you cheerfully and indefatigably exert themselves in promoting the general welfare and the public weal, may expect approbation and support.
JOHN JAY.
ANSWER of the Hon. House of Assembly of this State, to his Excellency, the Governor's Speech at the opening of the Session.
To his EXCELLENCY, JOHN JAY, Governor of the State of New-York.
Sir, The reflections you have been pleased to make on the occasion which has called us together at this early season, are as just as they are natural. Sensible how materially our national happiness must at all times be connected with the proper choice of a person to preside in the executive department of the United States; and equally sensible how much the delicacy of the task of providing for that choice, is at this juncture increased by the resolution to decline a re-election, which the ILLUSTRIOUS PATRIOT who has hitherto united the suffrages of his country, has lately announced, we shall act with correspondent circumspection. At the same time, we participate in the deep regret, common to all good citizens, which is inspired by the prospect of foregoing the services of a man, who has so often, so signal-ly and so successfully supported and promoted the greatest and best interests of his country. Reviewing his conduct, either in the arduous scenes of that war which secured to us independence and liberty, or in the critical transactions which, preferring us in honorable peace, have thus far exempted us from the calamities that overwhelm so large a part of the world; we find equal cause for admiration; we perceive in every situation the same stamp of wisdom, fortitude and virtue. In the relinquishment as in the execution of public trusts, we equally behold a man destined to give great examples; to merit and to acquire the affection and gratitude of his countrymen; the esteem and applause of mankind. May the benedict ruler of the universe bless his retreat with every enjoyment and satisfaction, a great and good man can desire, and to grant to his country a successor who will emulate so glorious a model!
The final agreement concluded between this state and the Indian tribes, who style themselves the Seven Nations of Canada, was an event greatly to be desired, and the principles on which this settlement has been effected, merit our approbation. We unite in the hope, that the period of a complete adjustment of all Indian claims, to lands within this State, is not far distant, and that, influenced by the general fairness of our conduct, the Indians on our borders will consider our prosperity as justice and benevolence as their best protection.
The utility of a proper arrangement of our fiscal affairs, is evident; and the public welfare is so intimately connected with this interesting subject, that it cannot fail of demanding our serious attention.
tion—the various other objects recommended to our notice by your excellency, will receive a discussion due to their importance. To promote the happiness of our fellow citizens, and to ensure a continuance of our present prosperity, will be the object of our deliberations, and in all measures calculated to produce these desirable ends, we feel full confidence in the assurance of your excellency's aid and co-operation.
THE REPLY,
Gentlemen, I receive this address with particular satisfaction. You have done honour to the State by demonstrations of its gratitude for most signal services; and on an occasion that will always be memorable. Such acts encourage as well as reward genuine patriotism.
Striking is the contrast which you observe between the calamities that overwhelm so great a part of the world; and the honorable peace and singular prosperity which we enjoy.
To him who forbids those plagues to pass into our borders, most cordial gratitude is due; and it is worthy of remark, that those nations have most reason to expect the continuance of such favours, who receive them gratefully and use them rationally. Indeed it is not easy to form an idea of a free or human government, without admitting the most intimate connection to subsist between protection and allegiance.

PHOCION—No. XIX.
Mr. Jefferson's report on the commercial restrictions of other nations, and on the measures which the United States ought to pursue to counteract them, has been also referred to, as a subject of en comine .
The resolution of the House of Representatives, which called for this report, was transmitted to the Secretary of State on the 23d February 1791; the report was not delivered to the House until the 16th December 1793.—A period of near three years may well be considered as sufficiently extensive, to have enabled the Secretary to collect and digest with accuracy all the materials necessary for a report, comprized in fifteen short pages, without being afterwards exposed to animadversion for the commission of many important blunders, and even retratt , in a supplementary report of the 30th December, a positive assertion of a fact, evidently calculated to give the House an unfavorable impression of the British regulations.
The egregious errors contained in this short report of fifteen short pages (the work of near three years) are so numerous as to require more than an equal number of pages to specify them all. This is the less necessary as they were fully exposed at the time in the discussions which took place on the subject, in Congress, and pointed out by well informed commercial men in Boston and Philadelphia; the detection of these errors caused the total failure of the propositions, introduced by Mr. Madison, but of which, citizen Faubet informs us, in his intercepted letter , Mr. Jefferson was the real author.
It was obvious to those that examined it, that the whole object and tendency of the report was to swell the catalogue of supposed injuries, arising from the commercial regulations of Britain, and to diminish those of France, Spain and Portugal, particularly the former, by overlooking important discriminations in our favor on the part of Britain, and exhibiting her unfavorable discriminations in the most prominent colours, while, on the other hand, the disadvantageous restrictions of the other nations were grouped in the background and trifling preferences brought forward and swelled into immense benefits.
So eager was the Secretary in the pursuit of his favorite object, viz. to entangle the United States into altercations with England, which could only issue in war, that he not only advanced in support of his commercial propositions, theories directly the reverse of those he had elaborately inculcated in his Notes on Virginia, but he even flatly contradicted in one page a maxim of government which he had emphatically laid down no farther back than in the preceding page, and stated, with confidence, a commercial fact of no inconsiderable importance, which he was obliged to contradict in his supplementary report.
These three charges will now be detailed and supported by evidence from Mr. Jefferson's own pen.
1st. He advanced in his commercial report theories which he had strongly condemned in his Notes on Virginia.
In his Notes on Virginia, page 174, he says, "The political economists of Europe, have established it as a principle, that every state should manufacture for itself: and this principle, like many others, we transfer to America, without calculating the difference of circumstances which should often produce a different result. In Europe, the lands are either cultivated, or locked up against the cultivator. Manufacture must, therefore, be resorted to, of necessity, not of choice, to support the surplus of their people. But we have an immensity of land, courting the industry of the husbandman. Is it best, then, that all our citizens should be employed in its improvement, or that one half should be called off from that, to exercise manufactures and handicrafts for the other? Those who labour in the earth are the chosen people of God, if ever he had a chosen people, whose breasts he has made his peculiar deposit for substantial and genuine virtue. It is the focus, in which he keeps alive that sacred fire, which otherwise might escape from the face of the earth. Corruption of morals in the mass of cultivators, is a phenomenon of which no age nor nation has furnished an example. It is the mark set on those who, not looking up to heaven, to their own soil and industry, as does the husbandman, for their subsistence, depend for it on the casualties and caprice of customers. Dependence begets subservience and venality; suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition. This, the natural progress and consequence of the arts, has sometimes, perhaps, been retarded by accidental circumstances: but generally speaking, the

proportion which the aggregate of the other classes of the citizens bears, in any state, to that of its husbandmen, is the proportion of its unfound to its healthy parts, and is a good enough barometer, whereby to measure its degree of corruption. While we have land to labour, then, let us never wish to see our citizens occupied at a work bench, or twirling a distaff. Carpenters, masons, smiths, are wanting in husbandry; but, for the general operation of manufacture, let our work-shops remain in Europe. It is better to carry provisions and materials to workmen there, than bring them to the provisions and materials, and, with them their manners and principles. The loss, by the transportation of commodities across the Atlantic, will be made up in happiness and permanence of government. The mors of great cities, add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body."
But notwithstanding this explicit condemnation of the system of domestic manufactures for the United States, in the year 1782, yet in his commercial report, in 1793, when precisely the same causes existed, we find a strong recommendation of measures, calculated to compel the United States to depend altogether for supply on domestic manufactures, there being no other nation, at that time, capable of furnishing them but Great-Britain, whose manufactures were to have been interdicted.
In that report, page 17, he recommends the burdening with duties or excluding such foreign manufactures as we take in greatest quantity, and which at the same time we could the soonest furnish to ourselves, or obtain from other countries, imposing on them duties, lighter at first, but heavier and heavier afterwards, as other channels of supply open. He adds, "such duties, having the effect of indirect encouragement to domestic manufactures of the same kind, may induce the manufacturer to come himself into these states; and here it would be in the power of the state governments to co-operate essentially, by opening the resources of encouragement, which are under their control, extending them liberally to artists in those particular branches of manufactures, for which their soil, climate, population, and other circumstances have matured them, and fostering the precious efforts and progress of household manufacture by some patronage suited to the nature of its objects, guided by the local information they possess, and guarded against abuse by their presence and attentions. The oppressions on our agricultural foreign ports would thus be made the occasion of relieving it from a dependence on the counsels and conduct of others, and PROMOTING ARTS, MANUFACTURES AND POPULATION AT HOME."
The glaring contradiction which these recited passages exhibits furnishes scope for several remarks: In the first place, he has evidently overlooked or forgotten in the commercial report all the injury which, in his notes, he had declared to flow from the introduction of domestic manufactures into the United States; and this is not all; in his notes, page 93, "he deprecates the importation of foreigners into the United States, because coming principally from monarchical countries they will either bring their pernicious maxims, or, if they throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, peccunias or is usual, says he, "from one extreme to another." And yet in his report he strongly recommends measures, calculated to produce the effect of introducing a mass of foreigners from that monarchical country, Britain, and the very worst kind of foreigners, in his estimation, manufacturers a class of people, the proportion of which, in society, says he, furnishes a barometer whereby to measure its degree of corruption.
When he wrote his notes, this country being at war with Great Britain, no stimulus was necessary to inflows was necessary to inflame our citizens; sufficient causes then existed, and then "manufacturers were the source of corruption, then foreigners were the source of licentiousness." But, when he wrote his report, a quarrel with Great Britain was a desirable thing; then it was necessary to inflame the Legislature of the United States, then it was proper that foreign manufactures should be interdicted, that the United States should manufacture for themselves, and not content with their own workmen, encourage the importation of manufacturers from foreign countries, altho' they were expected to bring with them pernicious habits, or an unbounded licentiousness! Such are the inconsistencies in which they involve themselves, who deviating from the line of political truth, pursue speculations calculated merely to answer party purposes.
PHOCION. I have said that the report consists of only fifteen pages; it will be noted that the five first printed pages consist of title page, and introductory letter, &c. Mr. Madison, in his speech in support of the Secretary's report, makes this observation, speaking of the British manufacturers: "Here are three hundred thousand souls who live by our custom; let them be driven to poverty and despair by acts of their own government, and what would be the consequence? Most probably an acquisition of so many useful citizens to the United States."

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Massachusetts, dated 1st November.
"The election of Mr. Swanwick will be useful, if it should keep your good men in Philadelphia, (and you know I maintain, notwithstanding you send us such a man) that you have many good and true men in your city, if this election should, I say, stir up your citizens to exert themselves to preserve our government, your affliction will be wholesome, tho' no joyous. Excuses for the want of due exertions at elections are at hand, and indeed they are often called for. The satisfied people are not the sort of folks to stir. The malcontents do it of course and without a respite. Pretended grievances too, (in our happy country none are real) ruinous as would injury, as much again as actual oppression would encumber—as hypocritical pills are worse than common diseases, at least the sufferer bears them less patiently. We must expect it therefore that the tons of confusion will excel us in art and industry. I fear that the friends of order are too confident and too indolent in this quarter. Gov. Adams is proposed as an elector and Mr. Bowdoin as member of Congress. Both would fail if due pains was taken. Col. Dawes and young Mr. Otis will be proposed on the federal side.—I hope with success."
"There is a four leaven in the vicinity of Boston which the Chronicle has mixed up so artfully that it will be long before we can get rid of it. With such a governor we cannot expect unleavened cakes. I trust we shall put off the old man next spring.—You know the whole text."
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO, AFTER the full Vindication of Mr. Adams's opinions, which has appeared at different times in your paper, your readers must be surprised to see further attempts to calumniate that virtuous citizen, by the hacknied trick of detaching half a dozen words from a particular sentence or subject. The quotation in yesterday's paper, given by a writer calling himself a Federalist , so far from derogating from Mr. Adams's republicanism, when examined, and taken in conjunction with the whole subject, rather proves his sincere and steady love for the human race.
It is well known that in the antient republics, their Kings were nothing more than Chief Magistrates; in the page preceding the one quoted, viz. 254. Mr. Adams tells us that the King of Lacedemon was but the first among equals, having no negative upon the Senate. In page 249, he tells us, that from the days of Homer to those of Lycurgus, the governments of Greece were monarchical in name and pretension, but aristocratical in reality, that in Lacedemon, where there were eight and twenty archons, contending against two kings, they had brought the whole country into the utmost confusion—in page 253, that the whole executive and the most important part of the legislative power was committed to a Senate—that all authority was thus nearly collected into one centre, and that the nobility—and that it was necessary to counterbalance this dangerous authority, by instituting assemblies of the people. In p. 254, he says, But the Lawgiver saw that the King and people were both too weak, and the Senate would still have power to scramble after the magistracies which were to be annually appointed; he therefore contrived a kind of solemn alliance, to be perpetually renewed, between the monarchical and democratical branches, by which the Senate might be awed into moderation. In this constitution, then, were three orders: if the Senate and nobles should prevail in one assembly of the people, so far as to carry any unconstitutional point, the Kings and Ephori would find a resource in the other to lead them back. Mr. Adams then observes "that this republic possessed the three essential parts of the best possible government"—that is, call it a republic or a monarchy, wherever there exists a nobility, or a wealthy and pow-
erful class of citizens, their power must be balanced, by an executive and by the people.
These ideas are not confined to Mr. Adams; they are found in the writings and speeches of every politician who has studied the subject of government. In the speech of Mr. Charles Pinckney, printed in Carey's Museum, as delivered in the Convention of South Carolina, that gentleman, who had been a member of the Federal Convention, in a panegyric on the Constitution, after describing the best ingredients of the three constituent parts of government viz. Monarchy, Aristocracy & Democracy , proceeds thus: "the citizens of the United States would reprobate, with indignation, the idea of a Monarchy : but the essential qualities of a Monarchy —unity of council—vigour, and secrecy, and a dispatch, are qualities essential in every government." Nobody ever thought of accusing that gentleman of being a friend to monarchy, and yet his ideas are peculiarly the same as those of Mr. Adams on this subject.
But to prove more fully that Mr. Adams's sentiments are favorable to the people and that all his views tend to their happiness, I will quote some further extracts from the same chapter—speaking of the institutions of Lycurgus, which he reprobates, he says, these must be considered as calculated to gratify his own family pride, rather than promote the happiness of his people. Morality and humanity, as well as all the comforts, elegancies and pleasures of life must be sacrificed to this glaring phantom of vanity, superstition and ambition, as if fighting and intriguing, and not life and happiness, were the end of man and society—as if the love of one's country and of glory were amiable passions, when not limited by justice and general benevolence, and as if nations were to be chained together for ever, merely that one family might reign among them. Lycurgus shackled the Spartans to the ambitious views of his family for fourteen successions of Herculean kings, at the expence of the continual disturbance of all Greece and the constant misery of his people. Human nature perished under this frigid system of national and family pride. Population, the surest indicator of national happiness, decreased, &c."

PERSECUTION.
The English government has ever been censured for requiring a test of her citizens, as a condition of eligibility to offices. All liberal men reprobate the English test law; justly, for it is a flagrant infringement of the rights of conscience, and of no more consequence to the security of the government than whether the English wear cocked hats or round hats.
The French, though they join in reprobating the English oppression, have fallen into the same error under another shape. By an order of the Directory, citizens of France are not to be employed in public service, unless they say citizen instead of monseigneur ; and by a notice of Mr. Auct in this country, no Frenchman is entitled to the privileges of French citizens, unless he wears a tri-coloured cockade.
Now matters stand thus. An Englishman cannot enjoy the advantages of office in Great-Britain, without swearing a certain oath, and subscribing certain articles and taking the sacrament. A Frenchman is deprived of the same advantages, unless he says citizen , and wears a cockade with three colours. The two cases are exactly similar in principle. It is as much an act of tyranny to compel a man to wear a cockade, as it is to compel him to repeat certain words. Both are oppressive, and tend only to make hypocrites without the smallest security to Government. The pretences in both cases are the same—to keep out of office all who are not friendly to the existing government either in church or state. The result is, that an external badge, and not principle, becomes the test of a good and faithful citizen. One is ecclesiastical tyranny, the other is political republican tyranny! Risum teneatis?

CHARACTER OF JOHN ADAMS, Vice-President of the United States.
From a Poem just published, and sold by J. Ormerod
YE, who have fought in Freedom's sacred cause, Who grace our Senates or expound our laws, Freemen, who deem your country's honors dear, Indulge the Muse, and lend a patient ear:— Say, if on you the rights of suffrage wait, Whom hail we next as FATHER of the STATE? To each hath Heaven peculiar gifts assign'd, And men, like stars, to certain spheres confin'd; In paths eccentric few allow'd to stray, Drawing a splendid train and bright'ning all the way. Saturnine souls, who think and move by rule, Excel in grave debate, and reasonings cool; Impetuous minds, of more impassion'd form, "Ride in the whirlwind and direct the storm." Hence these in councils, those in arms excel, But few indeed are those who govern well. For in his breath who sways the rod of state, Must centre every gift supremely great; And as the stars which gild the vault of night, Unnumber'd pour effulgence on the sight, So Chiefs and Senators in crowds abound, But rare as comets Washingtons are found. Is there a man, thro' thrie ten years well tried, Who never crouch'd or meanly chang'd his side, Ardent and foremost in his country's cause, The friend of order and of equal laws, Who views with stern contempt a clam'rous throng? Stiffe in their heart, and freedom on their tongue; A whistling tribe, who at their Leader's nod, Would sell their souls, their country, or their God; Who, had they liv'd in Jove's imperial reign, Had join'd the giants, and enthron'd a Paine. Is there a man, in whose capacious mind, A MURRAY, LOCKE and CHATHAM live combin'd, Who joins to all that men or books have taught, The fire of genius and the force of thought? Is there a man, who in these changeful days, Unaw'd by censure, unallur'd by praise, True to his aim, and obstinately good, While fashions rag'd, unmov'd as Atlas stood? Whose antient virtues sties high revere, And Rome reviv'd behold her Censor here; Such, as ere Grecian spoils her temples grac'd, And solid virtue sunk to Attic taste. Should such a man preside, the land were blest, Advert your eyes, and Adams stands confest. Fir'd at the name enraptur'd Fancy flies, Old Time rolls back and years long past arise, To memory fresh unfolds the solemn scene, Columbia's fires in high Divan convene, Of dread concerns, commission'd to consult, And chains and empires wait the great result: Full in the front I see the Patriot stand, All fire his eye, all energy his hand— Such graceful majesty round Tully shone, When Rome's proud master trembled on his throne, "Ye guardian powers of eloquence divine, Prepare each soul to grasp the grand design! Inspire my tongue the glorious cause to plead, Impel each hand to sign the deathless deed!"— He ceas'd—Absent remp'tur'd thro' the throng, While INDEPENDENCE thunder'd from his tongue."

Treasury of the United States.
NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sum of the Fixed Debt, or Stock, having a present interest of six per centum per annum.
1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 23rd day of April, 1796, intituled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, to wit: "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and September for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital. Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the original capital; and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then due, according to the contract, for the final redemption of the said Stock."
2d. All distinction between payments on account of Interest and Principal being thus abolished by the establishment of the permanent rule of reimbursement above described, it has become necessary to vary accordingly the powers of attorney for receiving dividends; the public creditors will therefore observe that the following form is established for all powers of attorney which may be granted after the due promulgation of this notice, viz:

SWANN'S, Riding School, Horse Academy & Infirmary, Adjoining the Public Square, Market Street. T. SWANN
RETURNS his sincere thanks to those gentlemen by whom he has been employed, during his residence in this City, and flatters himself that the success of his efforts, in the numerous, obstinate and dangerous diseases in Horses, in which he has been consulted, together with his moderate charges, will secure their future favors and recommendation. He now begs leave to inform them and the public at large that his spacious and commodious premises, erected for the purpose, are described as open for the reception of pupils of either sex, who wish to be instructed in the Art of Riding, and the right method of governing their horses, so as to ride them with ease, elegance, and safety—their horses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the riders; the natural powers which are shut up in them, will be unfolded by art, calling forth uniformity of motion, and giving to that noble animal all those beauties of action which providence has so bountifully bestowed on them. Also, at his hospital, every disorder to which the horse is liable will be treated according to the rules of art, confirmed by long and repeated experience.
The quality of the above institution has never been questioned, and it has long been wanted in this city; every gentleman's stud will be manfully, and T.

TO BE SOLD,
A LEASE for fifteen years, from the 25th March next, in that capital and beautiful FARM, called PROSPECT-HILL, Situated within one quarter of a mile from the Brandywine Mills, and half a mile from the borough of Wilmington. THE dwelling house is built of stone, two stories high, gently finished, and contains four handsome rooms on a floor, besides an entry, with capital garrets, and convenient cellars. It is generally thought to command the most agreeable prospect of the Delaware, from the force of that river to the Capes. This prospect is greatly embellished by a full view of a vast body of meadows, through which the Christians and Brandywine creeks are seen winding in beautiful meanders. Near the house are a Kitchen, a spacious stone stable and hay loft, a barn, a carriage house, milk-house, &c. and a well of as pure water as any on the continent. The garden contains an acre and quarter of land, abounding with fruit, and particularly with peach trees, of the very best kind, brought from Maryland, and in full bearing. There is, moreover, on the place, a young apple orchard beginning to bear, and several old trees that produce abundantly, besides cherry and other ornamental trees, in great numbers. The farm consists of near sixty acres of land, of good quality, and clear of incumbrances, except taxes, twenty of which are now in excellent clover and timothy, and ten more will be ready for sowing next spring. A residence of nearly 8 years has convinced the subscriber that the situation is remarkably healthy. The great post road from Philadelphia to the Southward runs within seventy yards of the house. In a word, the beauties and convenience of this situation cannot be exaggerated in an advertisement, and when examined, will probably command the attention of any person who is desirous of living at one of the most elegant country seats on the continent. The purchaser may enter on the premises next spring, or perhaps, this fall, if application be immediately made to Doctor NICHOLAS WAY, in Philadelphia, to Doctor WHARTON, on the premises, or, in his absence, to Mr. GEORGE TRUITT, in Wilmington. A quantity of excellent Hay, Grain in the ground, some Stock, &c. may be had by the purchaser at the time of sale. Nov. 7. cod t
