THE TRUE PATRIOT.
A DRAMATIC TALE.
ATTILIUS was Consul of Rome in the first Punic war; he had met with the utmost success against the Carthaginians; but falling into an ambuscade, he was taken by the enemy, and carried prisoner to Carthage, where, after being detained some time, the people thought it a stroke of policy to send him with Hamilcar, their Ambassador to Rome, upon his parole of honor, to treat about the exchange of captives, and reconcile all matters to the interest of Carthage; threatening, that, in case he failed, to put him to a cruel death.
On the day of his arrival in his native country, he discovered it was in a most prosperous condition, and that the patching up a peace would be highly injurious to the public good. Attilius, his daughter, was overjoyed at the return of her affectionate parent, and made no doubt but that she should see him restored to the arms of his friends and fellow-citizens.
Hamilcar, the Ambassador, had formerly visited Rome, and was struck with the beauty of a young lady, called Bercia, who felt a mutual regard for him. During his absence, on account of the Carthaginian war, she had been courted by Publus, the son of Attilius, and promised to him in marriage by her guardians; but, on her declaring her partiality to Hamilcar, Publus, though he tenderly loved her, nobly resigned his pretensions in favor of the man in whom he placed her future prospect of happiness.
This disinterested act so struck the Ambassador, that he advised Publus by all means to detain his father in Rome, as he well knew he would be treated with uncommon barbarity, if he returned with him to Carthage. Attilius, however, possessed too patriotic a soul to consider his own safety, where the good of his country was concerned; and absolutely declared to his children, the unshaken resolution he had formed of advising the Romans by no means to treat with their enemy, but to push on the war with the utmost vigor, and suffer him to depart to captivity and torture.
On the Senate's being convened, the Ambassador and Attilius appeared before it, when the former declared the offers of peace made by his countrymen, which Attilius with the most manly eloquence, conjured the Senators to reject, and at the same time insisted on strictly keeping his parole of honor. His behaviour effected and astonished all the audience; and the Senate at length perceiving all their efforts to oppose the heroic resolution formed by this extraordinary man, in vain, consented with great reluctance, to his departure. The people, on hearing the news of the singular determination he had made, took the alarm, and crowded in great numbers round his house, declaring their resolution to prevent his returning to Carthage.
Hamilcar found himself so obliged by Publus's recognition of Bercia, that he in some respects forgot his duty to his country, and advised Publus to release his father from the Carthaginian officers, in whose custody he remained. This advice was put into execution, almost as soon as it was given; but Attilius, with the utmost indignation, rebuked his son for this proceeding, and surrendered himself into the hands of his enemies; the tests and intricacies of his daughter, and the offers his son made to go to Carthage in his room, were alike unattended to. He insisted on Hamilcar's embarking for Africa with the utmost expedition, and preparations for that purpose were accordingly made. The clamour among the people ran through all quarters, and on his going from his house towards the port, they impeded his way in numbers. He made a stop near the Forum, and addressed them in the most pathetic manner; and, while he convinced their reason of the propriety of the step he was taking, he affected their humanity in the most exquisite degree, from the consequence which they knew must attend it. "If you deprive me of my chains, said this distinguished character, I am nothing; they are my honors, riches, titles; they will shame my enemies, and grace my country. If you deprive me of my chains, I shall be a wretched, lying, perfidious fugitive. Farewell, my friends, I bless the Gods, who rule us, that I leave you Romans. Ye Powers! O bless them with a liberal hand; let fortitude and valor, truth and justice, forever flourish and increase among them, and let all nations emulate the Roman glory!" At these words, he resolutely rushed through the crowd, and, followed by Hamilcar and his officers, embarked on board the Carthaginian vessel, and returned to Africa, where neither his faith nor virtue could preserve him from the fury of an enraged people, who, notwithstanding the representations of Hamilcar, cruelly deprived him of his life.
On Friday afternoon arrived at the port of New-York, the British Packet Carteret, Capt. Newman, in seven weeks and six days from Philadelphia, by which we have received the following
FOREIGN ADVICES.
PARIS, April 11.
We learn from the Isle of France, that an armament fitted out at Bombay has taken one of the islands of the Little Archipelagoes to the north-east of the Isle of France, called the island of Don Diego Garcia, which was originally discovered by the Portuguese, and since often visited and occupied by the French. M. de Bourdonnay planted a colony there. There is at present no water upon the island, but a supply might be procured by digging wells. This place might not only serve for the English to touch at, but would in future become a rendezvous for the forces of that power, if they wanted to attack the Isles of France and Bourbon. These considerations have determined M. de Sonillac to dislodge them. The English landed with 500 men, 300 of whom were seapows; against these 800 men are to be opposed, which will, no doubt, be sufficient to oblige them to surrender the island again, as it is not imagined they can be sufficiently entrenched yet to resist 800 Europeans. We shall see whether the Cabinet of St. James's will disavow the conduct of their commanders in India.
L O N D O N, April 9.
The Magistrate of Health here has received authentic advice of the plague raging at Algiers, and that about sixty persons die there daily.
W H I T E H A L L, May 1.
The King has been pleased to appoint the Earl of Dunmore to be Captain General and Governor in Chief of the Bahama Islands in America.
L O N D O N, April 23.
A private letter from Gibraltar, dated March 20, has the following article:—By a vessel just arrived here from Tangiers, we have advice, that the Emperor of Morocco has absolutely declared war against the Spaniards, and was preparing a fleet of armed vessels to cruise against them in the Mediterranean; but one thing will stop his hostile intentions for some time, the plague having broke out in his army, which has carried off a great many of them, and particularly that part of it which he intended to have marched into some part of the Spanish territories.
By the last accounts from America, we learn, that the people of Virginia and Maryland are busy making a canal round the falls of the river Potomack. When this cut is finished, there will be a clear navigation of 800 miles from the ocean to the great river Ohio, from thence to the Mississippi, and then into the gulf or bay of Mexico, a distance of at least 3000 miles. At the head of the subscribers to this vast and truly patriotic undertaking, appears the illustrious name of George Washington.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, March 24.
A convention between this Court and that of Versailles is now on the tapis, relative to the negotiation of an extensive treaty of commerce and guarantee between the two Powers; but it is universally thought that no treaty of that kind will be agreed to, particularly as the majority of the Ministers are against it, and that several Ministers of other Powers have got intimation of such an attempt, and have declared in strong terms against it. The English and Dutch Ambassadors, together with the Consuls of other nations, have delivered memorials requiring an answer on this head.
MAY 2.
By letters yesterday received from Holland it is said, that the Patriots obtained a decided victory over the Stadholderian party, at the assembly, held on the 21st instant at Amsterdam. Nine of the principal Magistrates who espoused the cause of the Prince, have been suspended from their functions; three of whom had much exasperated the country against them, in voting at the Assembly of the States General diametrically opposite to the instructions of their constituents.
This determinate step, taken by the State of Amsterdam, will occasion much terror to the New Society, formed at the Hague in favor of the House of Orange.
It is reported that the King of France is not perfectly satisfied with his new Ministers. In a Committee assembled by his Majesty, at which were present only Mons. de Fourqueux, Contrôleur Général; Mons. de Lamoignon, Garde des Sceaux, M. le Baron de Breteuil, Ministre de Paris, and M. de Montmorin des Affaires Etrangères; it was proposed to his Majesty, by the two former to dismiss the Assembly of Notables; the two old Ministers were against the motion; it was debated for some time, when Monsieur le Maréchal de Segur, Minister de la Guerre, came in to speak to his Majesty, but finding him engaged, he retired, which gave rise to the report of his disgrace; M. le Baron de Breteuil, observing this, proposed to his Majesty to send for him to assist at the Committee; on his arrival, he joined the old Ministers, and the Assembly was continued much to the satisfaction of his Majesty. They are now employed about the fourth division of the plan into which M. de Calonne had divided the proposition; after which it is presumed they will be politely thanked.
In the British Packet, Carteret, came passengers Mrs. White, Lady of the late Henry White, Esq. and her family.
On the 30th of April Alderman Newham, in the House of Commons, a second time, brought forward the situation of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales's affairs; a debate ensued in which Mr. Pitt, Mr. Fox, Mr. Grey, Mr. Drake, Mr. Rolle, Mr. Sheridan, Sir Edward, Ally spoke with much animation, but nothing was then done on the subject: the Alderman's motion for an address to the King on the subject lying over for the ensuing Friday. The first question on the Rastings impeachment for the 30th of May.
Advice has been received of the capture of the Sultana Hassen and Campis, Bucha Algerine corsairs, by a small Corsican and Genoese vessel; but the former pirates, by means of a sudden breeze got clear off. The Algerines supported a very smart engagement of seven glasses, and lost several men. They had just captured a Turkish vessel laden with cordage, which by this means became liberated.
The head of the Algerine Captain, who took an English ship off St. Vincent, was elevated on a pole, after it was severed from his body. Here it stood three days, and then was suffered to be buried. The English Captain generously made intercession for the Algerine; but the Dey would not listen to it, as the Englishman had flown his passport, and proved he was bound to England.
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, June 26.
The following generous offer of three hundred pounds, to be deducted from the Governor's salary for the present year, was, on Thursday last, communicated by the Secretary to the Legislature; and was committed to Mr. Sedgwick, Doctor Jarvis, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Jones, (of Bolton) and Mr. Ward, (of Salem) on the part of the House—Stephen Choate, Charles Turner, Cotton Tufts and Joseph B. Varnum, Esquires, on the part of the Senate, to report thereon.
If any new proof was requisite to fix his Excellency's character as a friend to the people, this disinterested favour would inobitably have that effect.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, As it has always given me the highest pleasure to meet the wishes of the people; and as the
Governor's salary has been among those objects which engaged the attention of the last Court, and has already attracted the notice of the present,—to prevent a decision on a subject, the constitutionality of which must, in its nature, be attended with some uncertainty; you will permit me, gentlemen, to make a voluntary offer of three hundred pounds to the community, to be deducted from my salary for the present year.—I shall, with pleasure, confine myself to the remaining sum, which the last Assembly determined to be sufficient to sustain the importance of that station to which I have had the honor of being appointed. And when we may rationally presume that the future situation of our affairs will be less perplexed than the present, I hope, that it will not be considered as a precedent to effect any successor in office, nor that I have any view, but that of contributing, as far as in me lies, to relieve the burthens of the people.

P H I L A D E L P H I A, June 27.
A correspondent congratulates the amateurs of music on the entertainment they are likely to receive at the theatre, from the talents of a performer, to whose abilities New-York, Charleston and Annapolis in America, and the cathedrals of Salisbury, Winchester, Gloucester, Bath, &c. in England, bear ample and approved testimony.
A correspondent informs us, that by a late regulation in New-York, coppers pass there at the rate of twenty-one for a shilling, Pennsylvania currency: In consequence of which it is said that great quantities of that coin (the greater part of which are base) are about to be sent into this city, where they are received at fifteen for the shilling.—The manifest injustice & injury of this traffic to the fair dealer it is hoped will operate as a caution against such imposition, and prevent the mischief before we are overwhelmed with that base metal.
The Irish newspapers present a miserable proof of the disorders which rage in that country. The Volunteer Evening Post, of the 2d of February, contains 12 or 13 proclamations from the Lord Lieutenant, offering sums for the discovery of ruffians who have committed depredations and horrid cruelties in different parts of the kingdom.
A friend to rational amusements expresses his surprise that notwithstanding the acknowledged merit of the pieces, and the favorable temperature of the evening, a very thin audience attended the entertainment at the opera-house on Monday last. The benevolent intention of the managers in favor of our brethren at Algiers, has perhaps been frustrated by the inattention of the citizens, to the object of the performance; and therefore it is hoped that during their short stay in this city, they will receive such encouragement, as may induce them to offer another opportunity for giving effect to so noble a charity. The taste and skill displayed in the ornaments and accommodations of the opera-house, deserve the acknowledgments of the public.
New-York, July 3.
To-morrow being the Anniversary of that auspicious day, on which the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA were declared INDEPENDENT, preparations have been made for its celebration.
Agreeably to Brigade Orders of the 27th ult. the Light-Infantry Companies of the first and third regiments of the City Militia, together with the Grenadiers of the first regiment, and the Brigade Company of Artillery, will parade at 8 o'clock, and march to the Race-Ground at 10 o'clock; where they are to perform such firings and manœuvres as are directed for the day. The whole to be commanded by Major Christie of the first regiment.
The Anniversary Meeting of that illustrious Institution the Society of the Cincinnati is to be held in this city, on the memorable fourth of July.—This Society has very properly assigned this day for their stated annual meeting—that they may have an opportunity, in their collective capacity, to commemorate that Independence for which they have so nobly contended—to renew and perpetuate a friendship, which was formed in the Field of Mars, and in those tumultuous times when nought was heard but the TRUMP OF WAR.
We are informed, that an ORATION in commemoration of this important event, is to be delivered by a gentleman who holds a dignified station, and who possesses the graces of an Orator.—To hear a recital of the principal events of the late arduous contest—a recapitulation of the deeds of those WORTHIES who have distinguished themselves in the cabinet and field, must surely be pleasing to every citizen of America: And whilst the Eulogies of those DEPARTED HEROES, who have sacrificed their lives at the Shrine of Freedom, may move the tender feelings of the heart, we must, at the same time, be excited to form an elevated conception of their PATRIOTISM, BRAVERY, and MAGNANIMITY.
On Wednesday morning the 20th ult. a duel was fought at Newport, Rhode-Island, between Captain Corner, of the French ship Les Trois Amis, and his second in command, when the former was wounded in the breast with a pistol ball, which it is feared will prove fatal; the latter is apprehended, and committed to gaol in Newport. They met in a field, without seconds or attendants.
A pamphlet lately published in England, respecting the East India company, contains the following observations:
The benefit of a monopoly consists in this, that it makes the directors the dupes of a court and ministry; but at the same time the directors have it in their power to make their own, and this or that man's fortune, at the expence of the community. Here whatever other arguments are used, is the basis whereon monopolies are established, and fortified factories erected, free trade prevented, and all manner of arbitrary measures grounded.—After this it will not be difficult to shew the evils resulting from the India trade being monopolized, as they more particularly concern our situation at home: It is the very foundation and support of smuggling; and, instead of bringing us a balance of trade, has, in the article of tea only, been the means of carrying millions out of the kingdom; and, by trading as a company, given the main benefit of that commodity to the Dutch, French, Danes and Swedes; nay, even the United States, our quondam colonies, have put in for a share of what is drawn out of the blood and vitals of the British people."

On Friday last the Convention of the Clergy and Lay Deputies of the Episcopal Church within this State, which had convened on Wednesday last, adjourned to meet again, at this place, in November next.
In the morning, previous to the adjournment, the Right Rev. Doctor Provost, Bishop of the Episcopal Church of this State, was inducted into his office in St. Paul's Chapel.

It was the saying of an eminent old surgeon to his apprentices,—Young man probe before you to the bottom; it is better the patient feel pain at the present, than to have his wound healed in haste, which breaking out again may prove incurable. The political operator reasons in the same manner, in regard to the wounds of the State; they should not be skinned over but cured.

It is not owing to a want of knowledge, if the present respectable Convention fail to establish an energetic government, which will diffuse equal advantages to the remotest corner of the United States. It will be owing to the narrow minds, or selfish views of little politicians, perhaps corrupted by the influence of a foreign power, who hates to see the United States rise into importance and respect among the nations of the earth.
It is thought that the persons who opposed the impost, and laboured for emissions of paper, were ignorant of, or inimical to, the interests of America.
The idea of having the Supreme Federal Power divided into two or more branches meets with universal approbation—it will be a check on the intriguing spirit of the members of one house, and will be the means of bringing the deliberations of the supreme power to greater maturity—it will be a guard against precipitancy and temerity of Council. The advantage of two branches has been conspicuous lately in Maryland—the firmness of their Senate, saved that country from perdition.
I reprobate the idea of a division of the States into three or four republics—the greatest enemy to America could have suggested nothing worse or more destructive.
By reading the history of Ireland, when each of its provinces was a separate State, we may judge of the fatal consequences. The ancient and brave inhabitants of Spain would never have been conquered by the Carthaginians, or Romans, had they not been divided into different independent States, and employed one against the other, by the intrigue and corruption of their enemies.—But we need not look so far back, to mark the certain and fatal consequence of such division. Not to mention the unhappy state of England during the Heptarchy; Chevy-chase, Flowden Field, and Bannockburn, are unanswerable arguments against it. What calamitous times these were, when Britain was divided only into two States. My opinion is, that America would be happier under the government of France, or the present Empress of Russia, than be divided according to that malevolent suggestion. But let us be under one vigorous government, established on liberal principles; possessed of coercion and energy sufficient to pervade and invigorate the whole—we will then rise immediately into the highest consideration—our friendship and trade will be courted by all the powers of Europe, and in a few years, the Algerines themselves will stand in awe of the brave and enterprising Americans.
You mention the federal debt:—The domestic debt rose to the enormous height by the inexperience of the supreme power, in '78, '79 and 80.—They employed their Commissaries, Quarter-Masters, and Contractors, upon commission, instead of agreeing for the ration; the commutation for half pay increased it considerably. For what purpose the foreign debt was contracted, or how it was expended, I believe no particular account has been given. But if you and I, and all the men in America, do but wear our old coat one year longer, we would save a sum nearly equal to the half of our foreign debt.
Can you mention a nation on the face of the earth, that does not manufacture, that exports to much as the United States? After our trade is put under proper regulations, and we have begun to manufacture, the public debt will dwindle into nothing. A more extensive plan of finance will probably be adopted by the new government, by which means many partial, ill-contrived taxes, will be taken off the people, which will fix their affection and attachment to government.
You tell me that you suspect a combination against the federal Government in Rhode-Island and New-York.—The majority of the House of Delegates of Rhode-Island have lost all character, and even shame itself: Yet you see there are honest men in that State—the Judges behaved handsomely in the affair of the tender law, and the minority have sent some Gentlemen to the Convention, who no doubt will meet with all the attention they can expect.
There were a number of British General Officers and members of Parliament in New-York last year, whether they have been tampering with government, time, the revealer of secrets, will display. But there being a dead vote against the impost, without the least altercation, after the necessity of

the measure was demonstrated, gives room for suspicion. Let the case be as it will, such is the present temper of the Americans, and the resentment for the contempt they have so univertially incurred on account of the weakness of government is so great, that I believe, upon my honor, the Supreme Federal Power, after an adequate government is determined upon, may command the service of 20,000 volunteers for a year without pay, to execute their orders, and fix government upon a firm and permanent basis."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of distinction in Paris, to his friend in this city, dated May 7.
"I am happy in informing you, that the late arrangements of the ministry, have operated most favorably to the American Commerce; the now prime Minister, Count de Montmorin, and the Archbishop of Thoulouse, who is at the head of the Council of Finance, have assured the Marquis de la Fayette, (with whom I had a conversation yesterday) that the American trade should have their full support. I am well acquainted with the new Comptroller-General, late Intendant of Normandy; he is also very favorably inclined towards America. You may assure all our friends that there are no indulgencies in the power of the present ministry in every department, but they will grant, and endeavor to promote a lasting union between the two countries."
"Honfleur," will, I believe, become a free port; it belongs to the Duke of Orleans, who is endeavouring, all he can, to bring it about. He has offered to advance, gratis, half the expence of clearing out the basin, and building store-houses to receive American produce."
