THE GAZETTE. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1.
ADDRESS. At a full meeting of the officers of the Guilford regiment of militia, and a large and respectable number of the inhabitants of the county, convened at the court house in Martinville, on Saturday the 15th September 1798, the following Address was unanimously voted to the President of the United States.
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AN address presented to you at this time on the subject of the relative situation of America with foreign nations, but more particularly with France, should at least possess some novelty of thought to procure with you an apology, or some strong reason urged, why it had been so long delayed to merit your reply. We hope you will not anticipate any thing new, for in fact, we only mean to adopt and urge the many and the excellent sentiments which have been already addressed to you by our fellow citizens throughout the Union.
Loving our country, determined to support it, its constitution, and the laws emanating from it—pleased with the administration of you sir, and your predecessor, who was and is no less beloved by you than by ourselves—detesting the parochial principles of France, which not only seems, but really are subverting every government within their vortex, can we be acquainted in our own minds,—could we be in the opinion of our fellow citizens, did we hesitate to make this declaration?
We abhor the modern innovations, and that word "Reform," which in the fond credulity of our imaginations, we believed to be for the amelioration of the situation of man, we now know as we would a monster ready to engulf all social order, annihilate civil government and subvert the heretofore approved course of things.
If France, compelled by that imperious necessity which is some times an apology with the historian for extending to destroy a social compact could even produce that, an improper prejudice of America might still furnish her with apologists—but when we see governments never yet obnoxious, even to fanciful writers, as well as those which imagination had formed tyrannical, and our own which has for its basis every principle preservative of the happiness and security of virtue and industry, attempted to be destroyed—can we resist the impulse of declaring that her nominal government is an unheard of tyranny—a compact with which would as rapidly, and as effectually destroy our rising empire, as an army of their Myrmidons might for the moment affect our internal order.
If we have not expressed these opinions so early as most of our fellow citizens, receive sir, our apology—so large an apportionment of the county of the county of Guilford never convened together as on this day, since the dispatches from our envoys to France arrived, and delicacy of sentiment in those who did, prevented them from obtruding their opinions as of those who did not.
It is needless to tell you that your administration has our warmest approbation—it is needless to tell you our determined resolution to support the measures of that administration, and 'tis only from your great and well known goodness we can hope an excuse for not expressing these opinions before this day.
We believe sincerely with you sir, in a sentiment lately expressed, that much indeed of our safety depends on the exertions used for the establishing an American Navy, and that a part of our fellow citizens cannot be more beneficially employed than by endeavouring to perfect it.
May that kind Providence, which has watched over the liberty and independence of the United States, continue its protection to you, one of their choicest guardians, and long preserve a life dear and essential to its country's happiness.  JOHN HAMILTON, Chairman.
Resolved Unanimously, That this Address be signed by Major John Hamilton, the chairman, in behalf of this meeting, and that it be transmitted to John Steele, Esq. with a request that he deliver the same to his excellency the President.
Attest,  DUNCAN CAMERON, Sec'y.
ANSWER. To the Officers of the Guilford Regiment of Militia, and the Inhabitants of the County, convened at the Court-house in Martinville, on the 15th of September, 1798.
GENTLEMEN, THE unanimous address adopted by you has been transmitted to me as you directed, by Major John Hamilton to Mr. Steele, and by Mr. Steele to me.
Addresses, like yours, so friendly to me and so animated with public spirit, can never stand in need of any apology. It is, on the contrary, very true, that the affectionate addresses of my fellow-citizens have flowed in upon me, from the various parts of the union, in such numbers, that it has been utterly impossible for me to preserve any regularity in my answers, without neglecting the indispensable duties of my office. This, and a long continued and very dangerous sickness in my family, most seriously alarming to me, will, I hope, be accepted by you, and by all others whose favors have not been duly noticed, as an apology for a seeming neglect which has been a very great mortification to me. There is no language within my command, sufficient to express the satisfaction I have felt, at the abundant proofs of harmony and unanimity among the people, especially in the Southern states, and in none more remarkably, than in North-Carolina.
Your patriotic address, adopted on the ground where a memorable battle was fought by freemen, on the 15th of March, 1781, in defence of their liberties and support of their independence, is peculiarly forcible and affecting.
(Signed) JOHN ADAMS. Quincy, October 19th, 1798.
From the COLUMBIAN MIRROR.  NUMBER IV.
TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.
Fellow Citizens,
THE Sedition Law is charged also with unconstitutionality, because it is supposed to infringe the freedom of speech and of the press. Let this objection be examined, and let our enquiry be in what instances the freedom of speech or of the press is infringed. As to speech it is no where embraced in the law, it being explicitly confined to malicious defamations in print or writing. This is so apparent that I shall content myself merely with referring the attention of the reader to the words of the law which has been literally recited.
The freedom of the press has been long understood and completely enjoyed in our country. It is secured to us by the fundamental laws of each state, and by the government of the United States. From the means which have been taken to preserve it, we may learn how invaluable it is esteemed throughout America. By the third amendment article to the constitution it is provided that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the rights of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." If the law of congress which is now the subject of discussion declares and recognizes the freedom of the press, as it was believed to exist in all the states when the constitution was adopted, it is clear that it has not abridged it, and consequently is constitutional; for congress is not restrained from passing any law whatsoever concerning the press, out from passing any laws abridging the freedom of the press.
The freedom of the press differs from the licentiousness of the press, and the laws which prohibit and restrain the latter, will always be found to affirm and preserve the former. Our ideas concerning the liberty of the press have been originally derived from the British law, I beg leave to quote what a learned and celebrated English judge has written on the subject. Sir William Blackstone says "the liberty of the press is indeed essential to the nature of a free state; but this consists in laying no previous restraints upon publications, and not in freedom from censure for criminal matter un-published." Every freeman has an undoubted right to lay what sentiments he pleases before the public: To forbid this is to destroy the freedom of the press; but if he publishes what is improper, mischievous, or illegal, he must take the consequence of his own temerity.—To subject the press to the restrictive power of a licenser, as was formerly done before and since the revolution, is to subject all freedom of sentiment to the prejudice of one man, and make him the arbitrary and infallible judge of all controverted points in learning, religion and government: But to punish as the law does at present any dangerous and offensive writings, which, when published, shall, on a fair and impartial trial, be adjudged of a pernicious tendency, is necessary for the preservation of peace and good order of government and religion, the only solid foundations of civil liberty. Thus the will of individuals is still left free; the abuse only of that free will is the object of legal punishment. Neither is any restraint hereby laid upon freedom of thought or enquiry; liberty of private sentiment is still left; the disseminating, or making public of bad sentiments, destructive of the ends of society, is the crime which society corrects.—4 Blackstone's Com. 15.
So just has this view of the freedom of the press been considered in America, that in every state we have conformed to it, and in no state are libelous writings exempt from legal prosecution and punishment. In Pennsylvania it has been made a part of an article in its constitution—"that the printing presses shall be free to every person who undertakes to examine the proceedings of the legislature, or any branch of government, and no law shall ever be made to restrain the right thereof. The free communication of thoughts and opinions is one of the invaluable rights of man; and every citizen may freely speak, write and print on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that liberty."
This provision in the Pennsylvania constitution, adopted in the year 1790, is so exactly like the definition given by Judge Blackstone of the freedom of the press, as to furnish the strongest proof of the approbation of that state of his sentiments. There it is conceived perfectly compatible with the liberty of the press, to make every man responsible to the laws for an abuse of that liberty: There libels are deemed fit subjects of legal punishment, as they are in every other civilized country, where any degree of rational government exists. There it is no abridgement of the freedom of the press to punish every person, who shall, by writing, printing, uttering or publishing any false or malicious writings, defame the president of the United States, or congress, or the chief magistrate of that state. Such too is the sense of every other state on this subject. In every corner of the United States, the freedom of the press is alike understood, in theory; and it is every where enjoyed under the principle, that malicious and wicked falsehoods may not be printed with impu-
nity. In every state, a malicious falsehood uttered in writing, among the people, with an intent to defame the president, or to bring him into public contempt, is considered as an offence, punishable in the courts of the state. This the remonstrance itself in one part of it concedes, when it declares, "at the same time we protect against unmerited libels or unjust attacks on government; let them be punished, but let them be punished by the proper authority." Hence it appears that the freedom of the press is not abridged by a law that declares and limits the punishment of libels against our government. If such a law is confined to infringe the freedom of the press, then, in no part of the United States do we enjoy, or have we enjoyed a freedom of the press, and we are now to be taught by the Illuminati of Al-bemarle what the freedom of the press is.
If it is no abridgement of the freedom of the press to punish libels against the magistracy of the United States by means of the state courts, I cannot perceive that there will be any abridgement of it to punish the same kind of libels by means of the federal courts. What is punishable as libels by either tribunal, is admitted to be a public offence, for which reason it would seem more properly cognizable before the courts and under the laws of the United States.
The constitution of Pennsylvania has also provided "that in prosecution for the publication of papers investigating the officers or men in a public capacity, or where the matter published is proper for public information, the truth thereof may be given in evidence, and in all indictments for libels, the jury shall have right to determine the law and the facts under the direction of the court as in other cases." In these respects the sedition law of congress has also altered the old law as it was received in America. Under it also, the truth may now be given in evidence, which before was not admitted; and the jury may now determine the law and the facts, though before they could only determine the facts. So careful has congress been to guard and cherish the freedom of the press by the regulations of law, which they have an undoubted right to do, though they are restrained from abridging.
With this view of the constitution of the United States, and of the principles of the law, let us particularly attend to what it has enacted. The sedition law has enacted that any person after conviction shall be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars; and by imprisonment not exceeding two years, who shall write, print, utter or publish, any false, scandalous and malicious writing or writings, against the government of the United States, or either house of congress, or the President, with intent.
 1st. To defame or bring them or either of them into contempt.  2dly. Or to excite against them or either of them the hatred of the people;  3dly. Or to stir up sedition within the United States;  4thly. Or to excite any unlawful combinations therein for opposing or resisting any law of the United States, or any act of the President done in pursuance of such law, or of the powers in him vested by the constitution;  5thly. Or to resist, oppose, or defeat any such law or act;  6thly. Or to aid, encourage, or abet any hostile designs of any foreign nation against the United States, their people or government. 
Every thing here enumerated is criminal in itself and ought to be prevented; and surely to prevent false and malicious publications, intended to promote the commission of such crimes, was the duty of the legislature. I repeat it, the law forbids nothing that a good citizen wishes to do: It imposes no restraint on truth, but endeavours to suppress wicked falsehood.—Can this be deemed an abridgement of the press—or rather, is it not placing the press upon the proper foundation to render it a permanent blessing to society?
To conclude the point of constitutionality the rights of the states and the jurisdiction of the state courts, retain their full force; neither are abridged or impaired in their cognizance of the offences specified in the law. They remain entire and in their former condition—Nor has the freedom of the press been infringed, but it has been declared and acknowledged as it has ever been understood to exist in this country. If opinions were circulated and acquiring credit in the community, that it was not criminal to libel the congress, the president, or the government of the United States, this law, by giving reasonable notice to the people of the errors of such opinions will not fail to produce the most salutary and beneficial effects upon the cause of good order and rational liberty, without which a state of society must be a state of misery and oppression.

The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA,
SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1.
From London, via New-York, we have just received the following letter, enclosing the London Gazette Extraordinary, the pleasing contents of which follow.
DEAR SIR, I have wrote you fully by the Clothier and sent your late papers. I now enclose you OFFICIAL DETAILS of the victory obtained over the Toulon Fleet by Admiral Nelson...
Admiralty Office, October 2, 1798. The hon. captain Capel, of his majesty's ship Mutine, arrived this morning, with Dispatches from Rear-admiral Sir Horatio Nelson, K. B. to Evan Nepean, Esq. Secretary of the Admiralty, of which the following are copies:
Vanguard, Mouth of the Nile, August 7, 1798.
SIR, Herewith I have the honor to transmit you a copy of my letter to the Earl of St. Vincent, together with a line of battle of the English and French squadrons, also a list of killed and wounded. I have the pleasure to inform you, that eight of our ships have already top-gallant yards across, and ready for any service; the others, with the prizes, will soon be ready for sea.
I have the honor to be, &c. HORATIO NELSON. P.S. The island I have taken possession of, and brought of the two thirteen-inch mortars, all the brass guns, and destroyed the iron ones.
EVAN NEPEAN, Esq. Vanguard, off the Mouth of the Nile, August 3, 1798.
MY LORD, Almighty God has blessed his majesty's arms in the late battle, by a great victory over the fleet of the enemy, whom I attacked at sun-set on the 1st of August, off the mouth of the Nile. The enemy were moored in a strong line of battle for defending the entrance of the bay (of Aboukir) flanked by numerous gun boats, four frigates and a battery of guns and mortars on an island in their van; but nothing could withstand the squadron your lordship did me the honor to place under my command.
Could any thing from my pen add to the characters of the Captains, I would write it with pleasure, but that is impossible. I have to regret the loss of Captain Westcott of the Majestic, who was killed early in the action; but the ship continued to be so well fought by her First Lieutenant, Mr. Cathcart, that I have given him an order to command her till your Lordship's pleasure is known.
The ships of the enemy, all but their two rear ships, are nearly dismasted; and those two, with two frigates, I am sorry to say, made their escape; nor was it, I assure you, in my power to prevent them. Captain Hood most handsomely endeavoured to do it, but I had no ship in a condition to support the Zealous, and I was obliged to call her in.
The support and assistance I have received from Captain Berry cannot be sufficiently expressed. I was wounded in the head, and obliged to be carried off the deck, but the service suffered no loss by that event. Captain Berry was fully equal to the important service then going on, and to him I must beg leave to refer you for every information relative to this victory. He will present you with the Flag of the second in command, that of the commander in chief being burnt in the L'Orient.
Herewith I transmit you lists of the killed and wounded, and the lines of battle of ourselves and the French.
I have the honor to be, &c. HORATIO NELSON.

Vanguard, off the mouth of the Nile, Aug. 11, '98.
SIR, HEREWITH I send you a copy of my letter to the Earl of St. Vincent of this date.
I have the honor to be, &c. HORATIO NELSON.
EVAN NEPEAN, Esq. Vanguard, off the mouth of the Nile, Aug. 11, '98.
MY LORD, THE Swiftsure brought in this morning La Fortune, French corvette of 18 guns and 250 men.
I have the honor to be, &c. HORATIO NELSON. Earl St. Vincent.
Such is the account that has been sent home by Sir Horatio of this most splendid action. He would no doubt have entered more into the detail, but he considered the business as not yet ended, while a single battery or ship remained to be destroyed. After the battle it appears that he proceeded instantly to seize on and dismantle the batteries on shore, by which he had been annoyed; and to employ his whole force in measures for destroying the transports which were left at Alexandria and Rosetta. According to the report made by the Hon. Capt. Capel, these measures were taken with such skill, and executed with such alacrity, that it was thought very few, if any, of them would escape, and the whole armament amounted to 350 vessels. So complete a destruction has not occurred in the annals of our maritime glory, since the overthrow of the Spanish Armada; and though the battle was fought at so great a distance from our shores, in its consequences it may be little less auspicious to England, since it is manifest that the armament was directed against a vital part of our empire, and the French General might have reached his destination. It is in vain to deny that they are formidable by land, however contemptible by sea; and we have reason to thank our glorious marine that we have been able to check the progress of their career on our own element. We consider their career as completely checked, for it will now be impossible for Buonaparte to proceed to India. Ministers yesterday, along with a short extract of the news, published the following information:
"Buonaparte was at Cairo, completely at variance with all his officers, who are discontented with the expedition. The soldiers are all sickly, and poisoned with the water of the country."
"The Grand Signior is making every effort to collect a force to cut off supplies. Buonaparte's dispatches are taken."
We understand that these dispatches stated to the Directory, that without reinforcements it would be impossible for him to proceed, or even to maintain his position at Cairo for any length of time, as the inhabitants in general were inimical to his progress.
But to return to the victory
As commodore Trowbridge, in the Culloden, unfortunately got ashore before the action, and though he made every exertion, was unable to participate in the glory of the fight, this reduced the two lines of battle to an equality in point of numerical force; but in weight of metal, number of guns and men, of frigates and gun boats, and in the material circumstances of batteries on shore, the French had greatly the advantage. The French had three 80 gun ships, and one of 120 guns, whereas we had none of higher than 74's. The French had 1190 guns, the English only 1012, and from that number a deduction must be made of the Culloden's seventy-four guns, as she was unable to take any part in the action. When these things are considered, and it is reflected that the English Admiral run close in shore to make the attack on a fleet moored to receive him; that the battle was fought at night, and that but two out of thirteen of the enemy's ships engaged escaped, it is in all its characters, a most splendid victory.
It was also, as remarkable, we understand, for single acts of heroism, as for the general display of gallantry. Captain Darby, in the Bellerophon, of 74 guns, attacked the L'Orient, of 120 singly, and burnt her; it was in the explosion of this ship that he lost so many of his officers and men.
There were so many prisoners made, that we understand Sir Horatio determined to put them ashore as soon as he had completed the destruction of the transports.
Of the two frigates that escaped one was afterwards taken at Rhodes.
There is no account of the arrival of the two line of battle ships which escaped, and the other frigate, having arrived at any port in France, and it is therefore probable they may also fall into our hands, and complete the destruction of the whole.
The French Admiral's ship, L'Orient which was blown up, had on board it appears, 1000 men. Admiral Bruey's himself who commanded her, and the Captain on board, were both killed before
she took fire. On board this ship was the whole of the treasure taken by the French at Malta, which was very considerable. The number of men on board le Toulon, the other French ship which was burnt, is stated in the Gazette to be 700; and the crews of l'Artemise frigate burnt, and le Sericuse funk, amounted to 500. The total loss of the French is estimated at between four and five thousand; that of the British in killed and wounded, amounts to 895. Admiral Nelson received a severe wound in the head from the splinter, but we are happy to add, that in a private letter from the Admiral to Lady Spencer, he says that he is nearly recovered. Sir James Saumarez is also in a fair way of recovery.
Extract of a Letter from on board the Orion, dated Bequier road, August 9.
"Sir Horatio Nelson has sent an officer to India, with the account of the victory; lieutenant Duval, of the Zealous, is charged with his dispatches, and set off yesterday in a Turkish boat which was to land him in Syria, on his way to Aleppo: a vessel detained the day before with dispatches and letters from Buonaparte's army at Grand Cairo, will make the admiral's dispatches still more interesting to our settlements in India, as they all tend to represent the French army in the most disastrous situation, as well from the services they have undergone in their march across the sandy deserts, as from the depredations of the Mamelukes and Arabs, and also from deprived of wine and spirits, without which the French troops find it next to impossible to resist the excessive heat, or endure fatigue. It appears that Buonaparte meant to proceed to Suez, and demanded transports and craft to meet him on the Nile; but when he hears the defeat of the French Fleet, it will throw him into despair, particularly as the squadron of Sir Horatio Nelson proposes to keep up there, will effectually cut off for some time, all communication with Alexandria."
The Guerrier being an old ship, Sir Horatio Nelson proposed to destroy her, and to send the others to England under the convoy of Sir James Saumarez, with those of our ships which had suffered most in the action; these are the Orion, Bellerophon, Alexander, Majestic, Theseus, Goliath, and Defence.
Sir James Saumarez was getting well of his wounds. He hoped, soon, to be as well as ever.
Captain Berry is coming home over land, through Italy and Germany, with dispatches.
The demonstrations of joy last night were universal, and continued to a late hour. The Admiralty Office set the example of an illumination, which immediately became general, and which is expected to take place again this night.
We rejoice to learn that Ministers are resolved to make our great Naval superiority effectual to the renovation of our commerce in the Mediterranean and the Levant: a compact is entered into with the King of Naples, by which the ports of Sicily are to be put into our possession for the defence of his dominions, and for the purposes of our naval operations in those seas. Gen. Stewart is actually gone to take the command, and our troops lately in Portugal are on their way thither. A most critical post will be thus established. The blockade of Malta will be formed and continued without danger to our ships, as they will take shelter in the ports of Messina and Syracuse, and hopes are even entertained that the islands will fall into our hands. The first fruits of this victory may be its surrender, and its possession would greatly facilitate the recovery of the Levant trade.
In this view at least, this great event ought to be considered as one of the most valuable, as it certainly is the most shining conquest we have gained. Every man who either has a guinea at stake, or is in hopes, by his industry and exertions, to acquire a stake in the country, ought to feel proud of the elevation which our fleets have given to the British name, and in the security they have conferred on the British shores.

Forty Dollars Reward FOR APPREHENDING A GENTLEMAN NEGRO, By name GEORGE or GEORGE PARKER, the property of the subscriber, who has thought proper on the night of the 21st inst. to clop from his master without any provocation or just cause; he was formerly the property of Beckwith Butler, Esq. and lived a considerable time with Potomac, whose tavern in Frederickburg, having been much company and travelled with several gentlemen through different parts of this state, he is much known. It is therefore conjectured he will pass for some of the northern cities or towns as he has discovered an aversion to plantation work, though he may perhaps have crossed the ridge where he has a brother belonging to major Butler. This fellow is about five feet seven inches high, well proportioned and walks active and brisk, his countenance is open and agreeable enough when in good humour; he can hardly be supposed in shrewdness, and is a very capable waiting-man, house servant, barber &c. To describe his dress would be useless, as he possessed a variety of clothes, though when dressed lately, he wore a green coat bound with white fretting and spotted jacket and breeches. Whoever brings him home or secures him in this or any other state the said slave, so that I may get him again, shall have the above reward. ALEXANDER VASS. Falmouth Oct. 23, 1798. N. B.—Masters of vessels and Stage Drivers are requested to beware of suffering said fellow to pass on them by assisting his escape. A. V. November 3 w&f.4w
