The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7. REGIMENTAL PARADE. Marietta, November 12th, 1798. To JOHN ADAMS, PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
SIR, WHEN, by a coalition of European powers, France was invaded, we sympathized in her defeats, and rejoiced in her victories...
In the beginning of the present European contest, the government of the United States wisely remained on a strict neutrality relative to the respective belligerent powers...

Corrupt as is the government of France, and demoralizing as are her principles, we regret that either should find advocates in America...
An usurped interference in the diplomatic concerns of our country (if such has existed) is derogatory to the dignity of our government...
Although we have scarcely respired from the sufferings of a savage war, and have but begun to lit under our vines, with alacrity, under the military auspices of the illustrious Washington, we will take the field to support the government, the constitution and independence of our country...

ANSWER, To the Militia of the County of Washington in the Territory of the United States, North West of the river Ohio.
GENTLEMEN, I HAVE this day received and read with much pleasure, your unanimous address, subscribed in your behalf by colonel Sproat, your commanding officer, at a regimental parade, in Marietta on the 12th day of November, 1798.
The coercion of terrorism, cannot be practiced in America, so early as in Europe, where the issue of a battle determines the fate of a nation, and the capture of a city involves the submission of a whole country.

CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Debate on Mr. Griswold's motion. (CONTINUED.) FRIDAY, December 28.
Mr. Harper—Had the opposition to this motion, Mr. Speaker, been at first placed on the liberal ground where the gentleman from Georgia, (Mr. Baldwin) has just now placed it, this discussion would, no doubt, have taken a different turn...
The gentleman from Virginia has indeed said, that he justifies this sort of interference only in cases where its object is to make peace...
In the next place, Mr. Speaker, I am willing to make the admission, though it certainly is not contained in any thing advanced by my colleague, I do admit that there might be a possibility of obtaining peace on terms which the government would be averse to accepting.
The gentleman from Virginia now desires to convert the word "peace" into a spell whereby every mouth is to be stopped.
The truth is, and the people of this country know it, that peace is desirable only in proportion to the terms whereon it can be obtained.
The confidence you express in my administration, and your kind wishes for my health are highly pleasing and deserve my best thanks. JOHN ADAMS. Philadelphia, Jan. 4th. 1799.

hands of the first bold and unprincipled faction that may choose to usurp them.
The gentleman from Virginia indeed admits, that if the envoy went to invite war, instead of securing peace, it would be highly criminal; and in this admission he has given the death blow to his own principle; for when the envoy goes for the ostensible purpose of securing peace, how are we to be assured that the real, though secret purpose is not to invite war? War may happen to suit a faction better than peace; and in that case they would send an envoy to invite or to hasten it; but they would never avow this object. It would be too odious. Therefore the mission would be covered under the plausible pretext of securing peace. The public and ostensible acts of the agent would wear this complexion. His secret negotiations would point to the other object. If the practice be admitted who shall guard us against the perversion of it? Who shall assure us that these self constituted millionaires of peace, will not be invaders and guides of invasion? Who shall assure us, that the very embassy now in question, had not this for its real object? that the envoy, instead of the language which I formerly supposed him to have held to the directory, did not address them to this effect, "Now is your time. Lose not a moment. The spirit of the nation is rising. Vigorous preparations are going on. A final force, aided by your party in America, may now suffice, but if you delay long, the enterprise will become very difficult, perhaps impracticable. In a short time, the nation will be in arms, and your party, without timely and efficacious assistance, will be entirely broken." In many situations, which may readily be imagined, this would be the natural secret language of the millionaires of a faction, whose efforts to prevent defensive preparations might be as great, and whose outcry about "Peace" might be as loud as those we have witnessed during the last two years.
The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gallatin) who proceeds with more caution, has not ventured to justify this mission directly, but he has done it in a more complete, though an indirect manner. He has contended that the impropriety of such acts must be estimated by the object for which they are done. If that object be, in an abstract view, innocent or laudable, the act may be justified. This amounts to the old Jesuitical and Jacobin principle, advertised to by my friend from Massachusetts (Mr. Otis) That the end justifies the means , a principle which in its application to human affairs, is the most wicked and mischievous that the heart of man ever imagined. Let a man once be convinced of this principle, and he is immediately freed from every moral or religious restraint, from all the ties of nature, and the feelings of humanity. He is himself to judge whether the end be a good one; and this decision will be according to his passions and his interests. The means are then laid open before him. There are, for instance, many persons in this country who think it a most desira-ble object to procure a change of administration, and of system, in our government. Convince them of the truth of this principle, "That if the object be a good one, the acts done to attain it may be justified." In other words "That the means are justified by the end;" and whether they will employ assassination, re-fraction, foreign influence, or foreign force, or all of them together, becomes a question, not of morality, but of mere expediency. Of all the engines employed by the modern over-turners of society, this principle has acted with the most destructive efficacy; and accordingly, it is practiced with the greatest seal, by all the modern apostles of insurrection.
The gentleman from Pennsylvania has entertained the house, and amused himself, with some very ingenious distinctions about the technical meaning of the word "negotiation." An agent of this kind, he says, cannot negotiate, because to negotiate is to conclude a treaty, which such an agent could not do. It must, however, be observed, that the word negotiate is not used in the resolution, which speaks of corresponding with any foreign government, or any subject in dispute between such government and this country. Besides, Mr. Speaker, even if the technical diplomatic meaning of the word negotiate were such as the gentleman from Pennsylvania has stated, which is by no means the case, yet we know that its common acceptance, in ordinary discourse, is to propose a plan on any subject, to discuss that plan, settle its terms, and arrange its various stipulations. In this sense, an agent of this kind might negotiate a treaty with a foreign power; might admit into it conditions wholly incompatible, in the opinion of the government, with the good of the country; might bring it and offer it to the government for acceptance; and should the government refuse it, however wisely, might publish it to the people, and employ it as an instrument of faction to excite discontent, deprive the government of public confidence, and force it, by these means, into a ruinous treaty, repugnant to its own judgment, and the true interests of the country. All this might be effected by such a mission, notwithstanding the ingenious distinctions of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, and according to the construction which he has put on the term negotiate . This, indeed, is the very course that would, no doubt, be pursued, as being most likely to accomplish the views of a faction connected with the enemy government. It is, however, only one out of numberless methods, in which such an intercourse, were any government weak enough to permit it, might be employed for its destruction, and ruin of the country.

As was foreseen, so it has turned out, that the affair of the Baltimore has been abominably exaggerated.
It now appears, that Capt. Loring, being distressed for men, applied to Capt. Phillips for such British seamen as he had on board. It is added, that on Capt. Phillips's expressing his reluctance to part with any of his men, the Commodore sent armed boats, and took out fifty five men, of which he retained five, returning the rest. This latter part of the story is absurd, and is no doubt not less unfounded than the thousand other misrepresentations which have been circulated.
On the question of right in this case, a few remarks occur. — By the law of nations, the control of a power over its subjects, under any circumstances, in any situation, is indisputably clear. The Retaliation had a right to board the Queen and demand every American seaman in her, and had she done so, they would have been given up: Every British commander has express instructions to do so. It is not to be presumed, however, that such cases are to become common. Circumstances may exist to render the practice oppressive. Were it general, however, Britain and not America, would be the sufferers by it.
Rendering due homage to that active jealousy, which is so unremittingly alive to the great interests of National Independence, it may nevertheless be politic, by tempering it with proper reflection, to bar it from running into an excess which may justly incur ridicule and contempt.
Britain and America are engaged in a common war with an infernal enemy. It is essential that the popular indignation be in no degree diverted from the outrages of that common enemy. But this is the direct tendency of all the execrable cant that has been poured forth on this subject. After all, on what is the bluff founded? On the idea that Britain will condescend — this very presumption renders any step unnecessary. It is presumed we are not to compel England to give up her principle.
All that can with any sense be said, is — If Commodore Loring was in distress for men, and politely requested them of Capt. Phillips, it is a pity he did not supply him. If Capt. Phillips found it fit to evade the request it is a pity commodore Loring had not waved it. On the whole, the occurrence is not to be regretted — as it will produce an understanding on a point which if left unsettled, might have given rise to a more unpleasant scene; and it has given an opportunity to the advocates of Government to evince their jealousy on a point of national pride, and to refute the foul calumnies of the faction of levelers.

TIT FOR TAT,
Or, more about Goose-traps.
MR. FENNO, I HAVE noticed a paragraph in your paper respecting the new Insurance Company, or Companies if you please; for though I have not seen the scheme of more than one, yet I am an advocate for both, if both are wanted; and I have heard several of our most respectable gentlemen in trade say, that the existence of several companies, by reducing the present high prices of insurance, would prove generally beneficial to our country.
I have also heard it said that a gentleman, at far from 169 Chestnut-street, has joined the opposition to the proposed additional company or companies, and that the ludicrous story of a Goose-trap in the Philadelphia Gazette, was told by him before it appeared in that paper — in application to new Bank and Insurance Companies, "wherever there were others already sufficient for all the purposes of business." — It was the Hon. Mr. Harper, I think, who told me it was dangerous for those to throw stones who reside in glass-houses — such was the observation of a gentleman at the Coffee-house, last Saturday evening, while the Goose-trap story was in circulation, when the following "Goose-traps" (the gentleman must excuse me, 'tis an appellation of his own fixing) originated by him, were enumerated in a circle of friends:
The Union Bank of the state of Massachusetts. The Insurance Co. of North America. The Bank of Columbia at George-Town. The Bridge over the Potomac at ditto. One Federal City Lottery, drawn. One ditto not drawn. One Bridge for this city, over Schuylkill, not yet built. Add to this the universal charge against this most eminent Goose-trap maker, of hav-
ing been most instrumental in arousing the public attention, and also in aiding to obtain, by overflown representations, the several grants of Congress towards that most ridiculous of all ridiculous Goose-traps, the City of Washington.
As I do not mean to be severe on the gentleman, but merely to remind him of his own glass-houses and goose-traps, I will now proceed to a point of more importance.
If more public institutions, like those of Insurance Companies and Banks, are really wanted, let a petition go forward to open, on a given day, a public subscription, that all who choose to adventure may have an equal chance with the original trap-makers, and let there be a stipulation that part of the money so raised shall be employed for bringing water into the city, and for the sake of this last object only will I subscribe my mite. NO GULL.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in London, dated 5th October 1798.
"Nelson's victory off the Nile has been more glorious and decisive than any recorded in the annals of naval battles."
"Buonaparte arrived at Alexandria three days after the English fleet, on their first visit, had left it. Alexandria was immediately taken possession of; a corps of 5000 troops were left there; and Buonaparte with about 18,000 men proceeded to Cairo, which he entered on the 22d of July. The landing and progress of the French were resisted by the Mamelukes and Arabs, and though the contests were always unequal; there is reason to believe that the French have suffered considerable loss."
"Several advice boats have been taken with Buonaparte's dispatches, and a great number of private letters, some of the latter written since the destruction of the fleet: they are all in a desponding style, describing the difficulties to be much greater than were expected; the army to be wasting with disease, and on every motion harrassed by the Arabs and country troops. So little has been the success in revolutionizing the public opinion, and so active and hostile are the Egyptians, that not even a letter can be sent from Cairo to Alexandria without an escort of 600 horses! The Porte whom Buonaparte hoped to conciliate by declaring against the Bays, and professing a deference for the Ottoman Power, issued a declaration of war against France on the 2d of September, the immediate consequence of which was the sending of the French charge of affairs to the Seven Powers, and the arrest of all the French throughout the Turkish dominions and the sequestration of their goods."
"The ultimate object of Buonaparte in India; but his complete establishment in Egypt was first to be accomplished. A letter from the commissary general complains of their want of provisions, and particularly of wine or of some substitute, without which the waters and climate of Egypt will, in his opinion, in a short time destroy the army. Buonaparte himself is disappointed and dejected; in a private letter to a friend at Paris, he reveals his despondency, expresses his intention to return to Paris this winter, and gives orders that his house should be kept prepared to receive him. Letters from Talien to his wife, written after the battle which he saw, and of the disastrous issue of which he says he was about setting out to carry the news to Buonaparte, breathe the same regrets and disappointment."

THIS DAY PUBLISHED, BY WILLIAM YOUNG, Corner of Chestnut and Second-streets, JOAN OF ARC, AN EPIC POEM, By Robert Southey; with notes. "WE do not hesitate to declare our opinion that the * epic powers displayed in it are of a very superior kind—Conceptions more lofty and daring, sentiments more commanding, and language more energetic, will not easily be found: nor does scarcely any part of it sink into languor, as the glow of feelings and genius animates the whole. The language is, for the most part, modeled on that of Milton; and not unfrequently, it has a strong relish of Shakespeare." Monthly Review, vol 19, p. 361. A HISTORY, OR ANECDOTES OF THE REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA, IN THE YEAR 1762. Translated from the French of M. de Rulhiere; With an elegant Head of the late Empress. [The second edition, price 75 cents.] "The grounds of M. de Rulhiere's information are indisputable, and his readers appear to have every reason to be satisfied with his discernment, in unfolding the motives and circumstances that concurred in bringing about this striking event. We shall only add, that we have seldom met with more interesting original anecdotes, than those that are contained in the little work which we have now reviewed."
