FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. PHOCION—No. XIII. HAVING traced and ascertained the improper connection which existed between Mr. Jefferson, while secretary of state, and the editor of the National Gazette, it will not be ill-timed to call the public attention to some specimens of the spirit and disposition by which that gazette was influenced.
We all remember the alarming situation of this country in the summer of 1793, when the President's proclamation, supported by his energy and firmness and by the good sense of an enlightened nation, maintained our neutrality, and saved us from war, in spite of the persevering efforts of a host of foreign and domestic incendiaries. Mr. Jefferson is applauded by Hamilton for having been "an enthusiastic admirer of the French revolution, without however surrendering the independence and self-government of America even to forward that glorious cause;" for the proof of which he refers to the secretary of state's letter to Mr. Morris, then our minister at Paris, counteracting Genet's intrigues and demanding his recall.—Wonderful forbearance and moderation truly in the enthusiastic secretary, not surrender the independence and self-government of his own country, to forward the glorious cause of another!!! But the real sentiments and wishes of the secretary of state are to be looked for in the publications, which issued from a press, of which he was the instigator and patron, and from the pen of an editor, who was pensioned by him.
The ostensible writings of the mere organ of the executive will, after the public sentiment had become too unequivocal to be mistaken, are not sufficient to convince an intelligent people, that Mr. Jefferson was originally desirous of counteracting Genet's intrigues. We find by a recurrence to the National Gazette, that after the President issued his proclamation of neutrality, that gazette did not cease for months to reprobate in the most scurrilous terms the conduct of the executive, charging him with the commission of an illegal act, and with a flagrant violation of the constitution; and when the President ordered a prosecution to be instituted against two Americans for violating the neutrality of the country by entering on board a French privateer, that gazette accused him in the harshest language, of cruelly and illegally imprisoning innocent men "for having generously forsook their country, to assert the cause of liberty in France."
Mr. Jefferson's translator of the French language, after many similar attacks, impatient at length of the tyranny of the President and his resistance to the will of Genet, breaks out in his gazette, of Wednesday, 10th July, 1793, under the signature of Yuba, in the following patriotic strain:—"The minister of France, I hope, will act with firmness and with spirit: the people are his friends or the friends of France, and he will have nothing to apprehend; for, as yet, the people are the sovereign of the U. S. Too much complacency is already taken of France (not by the people) further condescension may lead to further abuses. If one of the leading features of our government is pusillanimity, when the British lion shews his teeth, let France and her minister as be become the dignity and justice of their cause, and the honest faith of nations."
This attempt to make a distinction between the people of the United States and their own government (so congenial with the attempts then made by the minister himself) and this exhortation to Genet to disregard the will of the government, were nothing short of a proposition to transfer all the powers of the executive to a foreign agent. And such was the disorganizing spirit, which then prevailed, that another gazette, the General Advertiser (now the Aurora) finding such doctrines countenanced by the secretary of state, declared, in a piece under the very appropriate signature of a Yacubin, that it was no longer possible to doubt that the intention of the executive was to look upon the treaty with France as a nullity, "and that the government was preparing to join the leagues of kings against France." So much were the enemies of the government elated, at that time, with the conviction that the secretary of state countenanced their views, that they were emboldened to pursue those high-handed measures, which would soon have prostrated our excellent constitution and placed us at the mercy of a foreign agent, had not the people themselves interposed.
When Genet, thus supported, boldly threw aside the mask, and raised the standard of opposition to our government, the people, whose government it was, came forth from New-Hampshire to Georgia, and with a loud voice and an impounding aspect, silenced the meddling and crafty foreigner and put to flight his patricide myrmidons. Then it was that Jefferson found it expedient to abandon so rash an intrigue, and to enlist on the side of the people; he, who had greatly disliked the constitution, while its fate was doubtful, but had apparently approved of it when it met a favorable reception from the people, with his usual cunning and political sagacity, supported the very measures of the executive, when they were found to be popular, which he had, thro' his agents, resisted while the contest with Genet was dubious. Then it was that, like the friends of the wished to do away all suspicions of having favored Genet's intrigues, by a parade of great zeal for the independence of our government; for, when it was decided, that the French republic purchased no men to do their duty, men about whose conduct the government could at least form uneasy conjectures, were seen giving themselves up with a scandalous ostentation to its views, and even seconding its declarations."
It will be proper, in this place, to state some facts and recur to some dates, which will throw great light on this subject, and fully corroborate the foregoing suggestions. * See the National Gazette of July 1793. † See the General Advertiser of July, 1793.
The proclamation of neutrality was issued 22d April 1793. Genet arrived in the ensuing month in Philadelphia; and, supported by the Jacobin Societies, the discontented and seditious of all classes, and the National Gazette, immediately began his intrigues against our government. The United States were kept in a state of perpetual ferment and alarm from the time of Genet's arrival in Philadelphia, till the month of August, when his open threat, "to appeal from the President to the people," roused the people to come forward and support their President, and thus completely overset Genet and his adherents, and all their wicked machinations. Now, Jefferson's letter to Morris was not written till the 16th August; and the gazette, published under his auspices, was filled, from the moment the proclamation was issued, till the month of August, with invectives against the President for issuing it, and with exhortations to Genet to persist in his career!
A few extracts from that letter will aggravate, if possible, the gross misconception of the secretary of state, in having tolerated such treasonable sentiments from a press, the editor of which was a confidential clerk in his department, and was paid by him with the money of the government, which he was thus openly resisting. He informs Mr. Morris, "that Genet's landing at one of the most distant points of the Union, from his points both of departure and destination, was calculated to excite attention, and that very soon afterwards the government learnt that he was undertaking to authorise the fitting out privateers at Charleston, enlisting American citizens and giving them commissions to commit hostilities on nations at peace with us, that these vessels were being brought prizes into our ports, that the French consuls were assuming to hold courts, &c. &c. and all this before Genet had ever presented himself or his credentials to the President." He adds, "Genet, not content with using our force, whether we will or not, in a military line, against nations with whom we are at peace, undertakes also to direct the civil government; thus in his letter of June 8th, he promised to respect the political opinions of the President, 'till the representatives should have confirmed or rejected them, as if the President had undertaken to decide what belonged to the decision of Congress: in his letter of June 14th, he says more openly, that the President ought not to have taken on himself to decide on the subject of the letter, but that it was of importance enough to have consulted congress thereon; and in that of 22d June, he tells the President, in direct terms, that congress ought already to have been occupied on certain questions which he had been too hasty in deciding, thus making himself, and not the President, the judge of the powers assigned by the constitution, and dictating to him the occasion when he shall exercise the power of convening congress."
From the extracts it then appears, that as early as May, the attention of the government had been excited to view with anxiety Genet's conduct, that he had, even before he was accredited by our government, fitted out privateers, enlisted Americans, raised a military force, assumed jurisdiction, and not content with that, had proceeded as early as June, to undertake to direct our civil government, dictating to the President the exercise of his powers. And yet, strange to tell, Mr. Jefferson's translator of the French language, the very clerk in his office, who had confidentially translated these very insolent letters, in his newspaper of 10th July, published under the eye of Mr. Jefferson, "exhorts Genet to act with firmness and spirit, tells him that the people are his friends, that as yet they and not the President, are sovereign, that the President is pusillanimous, and that Genet has nothing to do but to act as becomes the dignity of his cause!" And stranger still, this clerk, thus openly encouraging the surrender of our self-government and independence to a foreign agent, retained his place as confidential clerk to the very man, who makes these complaints the basis of Genet's recall and the accusations of the very officer, whose duty it was to punish such treasonable practices!
In another part of the letter, the secretary says, "If our citizens have not been already shedding each other's blood, it is not owing to the moderation of Mr. Genet, but to the forbearance of the government." And yet the secretary suffered within his bosom the abettor of Genet!
After this, who will be hard enough to say, that Jefferson did not connive at Genet's practices, while the issue of his contest remained doubtful? Had he felt the indignation which, at that alarming crisis, swelled the heart of every independent and patriotic citizen, would he not have spurned from his office, the foul source of such atrocities? The wretched apology offered by Jefferson's friends, "that he could not, in a free country, control the publications of that Gazette," is too contemptible to require an answer. Could he not dismiss from his office a confidential clerk, entrusted with the secrets of the department of state, who was betraying his trust, and openly abetting a foreign agent in a contest with the government of his own country? Ought he to have maintained any further official connection with a Gazette, which exhorted the foreign agent to persevere with spirit in usurping our government, dictating to the executive, and committing acts which must terminate in civil war? This circumstance is so strongly stamped with political infamy, that it can admit of no apology. It marks the views of Mr. Jefferson, in colours which cannot be effaced: it fixes a stain on his administration, which can never be washed out.
PHOCION. FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. MR. FENNO. THE Subscriber might have spared his anger against Phocion, and his trouble in publishing Mr. Jefferson's accounts, had he read Phocion with any common attention; for, in that case, he would have discovered, that there was no insinuation whatever against Mr. Jefferson for not having seized his accounts. God knows there are subjects enough of fortifying (as his friends do in respect to Mr. Adams) to fashion. Phocion stated, that Randolph had been excavating for Jefferson, and that a late legal call on one
of these would prove injurious to him; that the late legal call on Randolph (which is now notorious, and the subject of table conversation) would prove injurious both to himself and to his friends for whom he was canvassing. This is so plain, that the mildest way of looking at it by the Subscriber, is almost sufficient to excite a suspicion, that he had some crafty, who was not aimed at in this charge. But as the Subscriber seems to be so well acquainted with the accounts and balances of the secretary of state, and to have such easy access to the secrets of the treasury, he would greatly gratify the curiosity of the public, now very much alive on the subject, by stating Mr. Randolph's account, and the balance existing against him, when he left office, on which he is publicly said to be just by the comptroller of the treasury. Report makes the balance 50,000 dollars. A QUERIST.
At a meeting of a number of citizens, on Saturday evening, at Mr. Little's school-house, Colonel JOHN BARKER, in the Chair—the following address was unanimously agreed upon, and ordered to be published. TO THE FREEMEN OF PENNSYLVANIA. FELLOW-CITIZENS,
AT this eventful period, when republicanism itself is menaced, when every thing dear to a freeman is involved in the issue of the approaching election, permit us to sound the tocsin of alarm. The independence of our country, accomplished by the energy of freemen and cemented with their best blood, is now in danger under the bands which united us to a corrupt monarchy. A common danger pressed us together during our revolutionary struggle, and we achieved our independence and enthusiastic operation, what the energy of government alone on common occasions could have effected. When the revolutionary ardor had begun to spend itself in calm and philosophical reflection, a sense of mutual interest and a sentiment of republicanism, led us to strengthen our bond of union under a constitution of virtual instead of nominal authority. This constitution formed and accepted by the people has guaranteed to them republican rights, and among those, the right to elect their chief magistrate. On the proper exercise of this right depends the future liberties and happiness of our country. Attempts are at this moment making to place in the Presidential chair, a man who has proclaimed to the world his hostility to republican government. JOHN ADAMS is in nomination for the Presidency of the United States! He who is the professed champion of the British constitution—he who is the declared advocate of ranks and orders in society—he who is the enthusiastic friend of hereditary power—he who has avowed, that a government ought to have the authority of changing the constitution!—this is the man who is held up to your view as a fit character for President of the United States.
Beware, fellow-citizens, how you are insidiously led to give your suffrages to men who favour Mr. Adams's election. Neither the rights which you have derived from nature and your revolution, nor the constitution under whose beneficent shade you promised yourselves security, can afford you protection, when you place at the head of your government the declared enemy of republicanism, and the man who contends for the right of those in authority to change the social compact. The existence of a standing army may be the "critical occasion," which he contends for, and the will of a President, with such an instrument to exact obedience, may be substituted for our constitution. We pronounce with the utmost solemnity, that our constitution will afford no bulwark against encroachments on our rights, when administered by men who contend for the power of moulding it according to their own sense of expediency.
Beware fellow-citizens, of the artifices made use of by the friends of Mr. Adams. They have framed a ticket correspondent with their wishes, and this ticket they have denominated the Jefferson ticket, and have palmed it upon numbers of republicans under that treacherous garb. Aware of the badness of their cause, they are compelled to retreat to dishonest means to accomplish their purposes. Such a cause, like the bird of night, skulks from the light of the sun. Be not imposed upon—the ticket which they have promulgated is composed of characters, that they believe will befriended the election of Mr. Adams. This alone is sufficient to stamp it with your abhorrence.
Friday the 4th of November will be the day of election. Let no consideration prevent you from asserting the most invaluable right of a freeman on that day. Neglect may make it the last day on which you will have the opportunity of exercising such privilege. Mr. Adams may be elected through your inattention, and his "critical occasion" may occur, which will rob you of your birth-right for ever. Let every citizen be impressed with the belief, that his single vote will decide the fate of his country, and he will then be animated with a proper sense of the importance of the occasion, and his zeal will be correspondent. As the election is to be by the state at large every vote will be of importance; to neglect giving a vote, therefore, under the belief, that you are in a minority in any particular district, will be a serious evil and ought to be cautiously guarded against. The state of things has placed the decision of this important question in the hands of Pennsylvania, viewing therefore the importance and responsibility attached to our situation, our exertions ought to receive an additional excitement.
Thomas Jefferson is the man on whom the friends of republican government call their eyes—a man of such enlightened views, such pure patriotism, such unflinching integrity, and such zeal for human happiness, can alone make our country flourishing, tranquil and happy. He will be the cement of discordant interests and of jarring passions—of no party but the great party of human benefactors, he
* The very act by which septennial parliaments were established in England, afford sufficient proof that the power of altering the constitution itself ought to be delegated, and even exercised by the government upon certain critical occasions. [Answer to Paine's Rights of Man, by John Adams, Esq.]

will allay the heats of our country, heal its divisions, and calm the boisterous elements of political controversy—under the administration of a man, un- constrained by party spirit, citizen may smoke the calumet of peace with citizen, and every man may sit down in quiet under his own vine and his own fig-tree—to promote the election of the great Jefferson ought to be the object of every friend to republicanism and his country, to this end the following ticket was framed and is recommended to your serious attention.
JEFFERSON TICKET.
ELECTORS. Thomas McKean, city of Philadelphia. Jacob Morgan, county of do. James Boyd, Chester. Jonas Hartzell, Northampton. Peter Muhlenberg, Montgomery. Joseph Heister, Berks. William McClay, Dauphin. James Hanna, Bucks. James Whitehill, Lancaster. William Irvin, Cumberland. Abraham Smith, Franklin. William Brown, Mifflin. John Piper, Bedford. John Smilie, Fayette. James Edgar, Washington.
Ordered, that the foregoing address be published in all the public papers of this city, that there be translations of it, into the French and German languages, for those respective papers, and that there be struck off a convenient number of hard bills, containing the minutes of this meeting, together with the address, for the use of the citizens.
By order of the Meeting.
JOHN BARKER, Chairman. JOHN CLOYD, Secretary.
Mr. FENNO.
IN your paper of last evening an answer is given to a hand bill, by an assertion that it contained a falsehood, before the hand bill itself was published by you; I will not remark upon a conduct so extraordinary, but only say, the extract alluded to, was taken from a pamphlet originally published in the United States, and reprinted in London, entitled, "an answer to Paine's Rights of Man," by John Adams, Esq. The letters have not the signature of Publicola, and if you or any one else doubts, such doubts may be satisfied, by an application to the chairman, who signed the address, in whose possession the pamphlet may be seen. I hope, Sir, you will have the candor to give this a place in your paper of Tuesday evening, with the address.
A FRIEND TO TRUTH.
N. B. The above hand bill it will be remarked, was printed, and in circulation, before the paragraph appeared; and, the assertion that the hand bill contained a falsehood is not obviated, by a London editor's affixing Mr. Adams's name to the work in question, (for it is the same) without any authority whatsoever for so doing.
NORTHERN LIBERTIES, Oct. 29, 1796.
Agreeably to public notice, a number of citizens from different parts of the county of Philadelphia, assembled at the town-house in the Northern Liberties, to consider and determine upon fit characters for Electors of a President and Vice-President of the United States:
William Coats, Esq. was appointed to the chair. On motion, the two tickets published in the public prints, were read, and the following was unanimously agreed upon.
JEFFERSON TICKET.
ELECTORS. Thomas McKean John Whitehill Jacob Morgan William Irvin James Boyd Abraham Smith Jonas Hartzell William Brown Peter Muhlenberg John Piper Joseph Heister John Smilie William McClay James Edgar James Hanna
On motion, resolved unanimously, that the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the chairman and secretary, and published in the American and German languages.
By order of the meeting.
WILLIAM COATS, chairman.
Attest. M. LEIB, secretary.
At a meeting of a number of citizens, at Ogden's tavern, New-market ward, October 29, 1796. The two tickets for electors, which have been published in the news-papers, were read, and it was unanimously agreed to support the following as a truly Federal and Republican Ticket.
The same having been framed and recommended at a respectable meeting of a number of the members of the legislature, and other citizens, the friends of order and good government, from different parts of the state, immediately previous to the rising of the assembly, viz.
Israel Whelen, Philadelphia, Samuel Miles, Henry Wynkoop, Bucks, John Arndt, Northampton, Valentine Eckhart, Berks, Thomas Bull, Chester, Robert Coleman, Lancaster, John Carson, Dauphin, William Wilson, Northumberland, Samuel Poffethwaite, Cumberland, Jacob Hay, York. Benjamin Elliott, Huntingdon, Ephraim Douglas, Fayette, John Woods, Allegheny, Thomas Stokely, Washington.
On motion it was resolved, that the following address to the citizens of Pennsylvania, be signed by the chairman and published.
Fellow-Citizens,
At a period when the peculiar situation of our country calls for no common share of wisdom, patriotism and firmness in the chief magistrate of the United States, are we summoned to the choice of electors of a President and Vice President, and on
the prudence of that choice, will in a great measure depend our future peace and happiness. Whilst the desolating sword of War is destroying the fairest countries in Europe—America is kept in peace. The wise and prudent system of policy, adopted by our present administration, dispelled the clouds which for a while darkened our political horizon, and secured to our country prosperity and happiness.
We are now to determine, whether, approving of the measures adopted by George Washington, and sensible of the blessings they have conferred on our country, we will choose electors who have uniformly evinced an approbation of his conduct, and may therefore be expected to give their suffrages in favor of men who will probably continue the same system of wise and patriotic policy. If such be our determination, the persons now recommended will naturally become the objects of our choice. To the prudence of those republican citizens, sincerely attached to our national government, we may safely entrust the power of making appointments so important and interesting.
With no desire of dictating to our fellow-citizens, and with no interest but what is common to all, do we address you. The happiness of our country is involved in the choice that shall be made, and we therefore solicit your warmest exertions in support of characters whose suffrages will ensure the peace and prosperity of the United States.
GEORGE LATIMER, Chairman. Attest. JOSEPH HOPKINSON, Sec'y.
At a meeting of a number of citizens at Hill's tavern, North Mulberry Ward, October 31, 1796.
The two tickets published in the news-papers, for electors, having been read, and also the proceedings of a meeting held at Ogden's tavern, in New-Market Ward, on the 29th inst.
It was resolved, That this meeting approve of and adopt the proceedings and resolutions there had, and do recommend to their fellow-citizens, the ticket there agreed on, to wit:
[See the Ticket referred upon by the meeting at Ogden's tavern.]

PHILADELPHIA,
TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1796.
The Poem published by Mr. Ormrod this day, is a beautiful and concise paraphrase on the President's farewell address—It will be read with pleasure by every friend to this country, every one who has a taste for elegant poetry—It is a fine specimen for school recitation—it would excite applause on the stage, and would not disgrace the pulpit.
"Bid schools recite it—let the priestly train Chant it on feasted days, nor deem the task profane: When round your knees your infant offspring throng, To join the matin prayer, or evening song, Those rites perform'd, invite them to attend The farewell counsels of their good OLD FRIEND, And say, he left you, as his last bequest, These golden rules to make a nation blest."
This morning about 5 o'clock, a fire broke out in a wooden stable, back of Hunter's buildings in High-street; the stable was consumed without further mischief.
COMMUNICATIONS.
A correspondent remarks that Jacobinism must be at a low ebb indeed in Charleston, (S. C.) when, at the late election, the whole force of the party could muster but 53 votes for their candidate—and that candidate their great champion—a man who had denounced Mr. Jay, and impeached the President of the United States on account of the Treaty with Great Britain.
The Democratic Clubs have called meetings in several parts of the city and suburbs, of such persons as they know will receive implicitly whatever they see proper to dictate. These meetings have accordingly, they say, voted to support, what the club have dubbed the "Jefferson ticket." But science-keepers, or the political grannies of the gentlemen whose names they have taken this liberty with.
This assumption on the part of the club is perfectly in style with their prototypes of Paris—but is entirely subversive of the excellent provision of the constitution of this country, which contemplates a free and unbiased election.
Mr. FENNO.
THE late decree of the French directory authorising a further interruption of the commerce of their very dear allies and sister republic, has given the lie to the speculative affection that monarchs were the only treaty breakers—that the French government would regard our interest as their own. We have been told this a thousand times, but we were not till lately let into the true sense of the equivocal. Yet while we are vexed at this ingratitude of those who learn'd us to be free, and of our Vice-President how to frame a government to preserve that freedom, let us do justice to the French by acknowledging, that they were advised to this attack by our own adopted citizens. Yes, the period which elapsed from the time of British aggression, to that of the French decrees, if taken in connection with the numerous publications of the Jacobins and their repeated assertions that the French would and ought to attack us for having made a peace with Great Britain, will show who were the advisers to the step. Alas, to what lengths will party spirit carry these wicked men, who would ruin their country rather than fail in their mad predictions!
A very short time will show who were the private advisers, of the French directory, who to do them justice, did not readily engage in this mischievous and imprudent measure; but what half-boiled, who under the specious name of patriotic citizens, enjoy our rights and privileges while they are seeking to destroy our commerce and agriculture, and with these the several mechanical and other branches, which have recently raised us to a rank with some of the first European nations. Whenever these mischievous men are detected, they
immediately quote their champion, who in his 19th note of Virginia, page 174, says, "Let us never wish to see our citizens at a work bench or a distaff. The loss of navigation will, he says, be made up by happiness; and further, that the "mobs of cities" are fore to the body politic; in short, that none but "workers in the earth," like his slaves in Virginia, are or can be endowed with a divine spirit, or spiritual grace; hence it follows, of course, that all the other classes of citizens are to be damned. These are the sentiments of the great Mr. Jefferson, and of his satellites; but they are not to be found in any other civilized country since the age of common sense, except in lunatic hospitals.

Wallace, from Philadelphia, ran aground on a reef, on the 29th October, on the West Caie. It is feared the vessel will be lost. Ship Henrietta, Crane, from St. Ubes is below, Schr. Lilly, Ellis, N. Carolina 12 Captain Da Costa of the brig Clarissa, 32 days from Cape Francois informs, that an embargo was laid on there in consequence of the sailing of the Harmony frigate, commanded by capt. Barney, bound to Nantz, in company with a ship of 22 guns a brig of 18, and another frigate, which was to see him to a certain latitude and then return; on board of this small squadron General Laveaux, Sonthonax, and another person, whose name he could not learn, together with several deputies took their passage—the inhabitants at the Cape were every day more and more alarmed at the desperate behaviour of the negroes and people of colour. Captain Da Costa got out through the interference of a French gentleman who came passenger to this country—18 sail of American vessels lay at Cape Francois, amongst them, capt. Baker of this port.
The following is an accurate statement of the number of vessels lying in the harbour of Philadelphia on Saturday last, exclusive of sloops and other river craft, viz. Ships 76; Brigs, 93; Schooners, 72; Sloops 50—total 291. There are 8 vessels on the stocks in Kensington and 1 in Southwark.
Copy of a letter from capt. Richard Burman, to his owners, in Alexandria, dated Turk's Island, Sept. 1796.
The 16th of September, in lat. 20, long. 70, 20, I fell in with the wreck of a fine new brig, called the Michael of Hartford, and took from her the captain and crew (consisting of ten men,) with some of her sails, rigging, anchor, &c. The master's name is Ebenezer Arnold, of Winton. She was loaded with slaves, corn, butter, &c. together with 40 oxen on deck, and was upset in a gale of wind on the 3d of September. These unfortunate men, whom I was providentially the means of saving from the jaws of death, subsisted five days without food or water. When the weather abating they found a crow bar in the steerage floor, with which they scuttled the main deck, and got out one cask of water, and one barrel of corn meal, on which they lived 8 days more, making in all 13 days from the time of their being upset until I relieved them.

Making in the whole 169 registered vessels.
Passengers in the Mary, arrived yesterday, 42 days from London:—
Mr. Giles L. Barret, and Miss Juliana Webb, Lady. Mr. John Simpson & Lady. Eleanor Webb.
The above passengers are engaged for the New Theatre.
Nothing further has transpired from Halifax.—The French fleet at the eastward, is said to be admiral Richery's. But a Liverpool paper of Sept. 22, the latest on the continent, mentions its arrival at Carthagena. It is certain, that admiral Mann has failed to join Jervis. In searching the English papers, we see no account of admiral Graves having failed.
The Squadron at Newfoundland, we think, is not Richery's, and that it consists of five large frigates, three of 44, and two of 36 guns.
We are happy to learn, that captain Goodwin, in the ship Seraphim, captured and carried into Corsica, has been dismissed, and at the last dates, was safe at Malaga. On her voyage from Bahia, she was taken by a privateer, and three men put on board her, which captain Goodwin rose upon, and confined. She has a very valuable cargo on board.

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'Eller's hotel was entered, either by means of false keys, or at the window, by some villain or villains, who must have been acquainted with the situation of the house (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. Ricketts's property, but of which he is not yet able to ascertain the contents particularly. After broiling 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. d

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A nett deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the most fulsome indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET.
Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wallis Cooper's Ferry. PRINTED BY JOHN FENNO, —No. 119— CHESTNUT-STREET. (Price Eight Dollars per Annum.)
