CALLED TWITTENHAM, situated in the township of Upper Merion, and county of Delaware, 7 1-2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new Western road: containing 230 acres of excellent land, 45 of which are good watered meadow, 90 of prime woodland, and the rest arable of the first quality.

City of Washington, SCHEME of the LOTTERY, No. II, FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FEDERAL CITY.
Table with 2 columns: Prize Amount, Number of Prizes. Includes entries like 20,000 dollars (1 prize), 15,000 dollars (1 prize), 10,000 dollars (1 prize), etc.
16,739 Prizes, 33,261 Blanks. 50,000 Tickets, at Eight Dollars, 400,000
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 net 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 safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. SAMUEL BLODGET.

"It appears from the dedication, that the editor of this publication is the Rev. William Roberts, A. M., F. R. S. Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford; and from the first number, that the labor, and consequently the merit of these papers, have rested with the editor, excepting only a few contributions particularly mentioned. The editor's design has been, as he himself represents it, "to facilitate the forsaken topics of morality, life, nature, an etc., in the room of shallow politics and news-paper philosophy, and to betray men, under the mask of amusement, into serious and manly thoughts. This design was laudable, and the execution was meritorious. As literary productions, these periodical papers are entitled to distinction; but their highest praise is, that they are throughout calculated to promote virtue and good manners."

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
PHOCION—No. XVI.
THE votaries of Mr. Jefferson vainly endeavored to vindicate his conduct respecting his connection with the editor of the National Gazette and his opposition to the measures of government, while secretary of state.
In respect to the first they said, "that Mr. Paine was recommended by several of his fellow collegians, men of high reputation and who were interested in his welfare"; and that, to entitle him to the office which Mr. Jefferson bestowed on him, it was merely necessary that he should be a citizen of the United States, and irreproachable in point of morality and in other respects well qualified to discharge its duties." It is at once seen that, such an apology, to an enlightened public, is as insulting as was the conduct which it was designed to gloss over. As well might Mr. Jefferson, should he be elected president, and pension a printer to support his measures, attempt hereafter to varnish over such an act by a like vindication.
As to the second point, these votaries, whose devotion for their idol kindled at every form, in which he presented himself, even deduced matter of panegyric from his opposition to the measures of the government. 'Twas according to them, the sublime pitch of virtue in him, not only to have extra-officially embarrassed plans, originating with his colleagues, in the course of their progress, but to have continued his opposition to them, after they had been considered and enacted by the legislature, with such modifications as had appeared to them proper, and had been approved by the chief magistrate. Such conduct, in their opinion, marked a firm and virtuous independence of spirit.
If any proof were wanting of that strange perversion of all ideas of decorum and order, which has long characterized a certain party, this making a theme of encomium of what was truly a demonstration of a caballing, self-sufficient, and refractory temper, would afford it.
I shall endeavour to state what course a firm and virtuous independence of character, guided by a just and necessary sense of decorum, should have dictated to an officer in Mr. Jefferson's station.
I do not hesitate to reprobate the position, that a man, who had accepted an office in the executive department, should be held to throw the weight of his character into the scale, to support a measure, which in his conscience he disapproved, and in his station had opposed—or that the members of the administration should form together a close and secret combination, into whose measures the profane eye of the public should not pry. But there is a very obvious medium between acting or countenancing, and intriguing and machinating against a measure; between opposing it in the discharge of an official duty or volunteering an opposition to it in the discharge of no duty, between entering into a close and secret combination with the other members of the administration, and being the active leader of an opposition to its measures.
The true line of propriety appears to be the following:—A member of the administration in one department ought only to aid those measures of another, which he approves—Where he disapproves, if called upon to act officially, he ought to manifest his disapprobation, and avow his opposition; but, out of an official line, he ought not to interfere, "as long as he thinks fit to continue a part of the administration."
When the measure in question has become a law of the land, especially with a direct sanction of the chief magistrate, it is his peculiar duty to acquiesce. A contrary conduct is inconsistent with his relations as an officer of the government, and with a due respect as such for the decisions of the legislature and of the head of the executive department.
The success of every government, its capacity to combine the exertion of public strength with the preservation of personal right and private security, must always depend on the energy of the executive. Thus energy, again, must materially depend on the union and mutual deference, which subsist between the members of that department, and the conformity of their conduct with the views of the executive chief.
Difference of opinion between men engaged in any common pursuit, is a natural appendage of human nature. When only excited in the discharge of a duty, with delicacy and temper, among liberal and sensible men, it can create no animosity; but when it produces officious interferences, dictated by no call of duty; when it volunteers a display of itself in a quarter where there is no responsibility, it must inevitably beget ill-humour and discord.
Applied to the members of the executive administration of any government, and more particularly a republican government, it must necessarily tend to occasion, more or less, distracted councils, to foster factions in the community, and particularly to weaken the government.
Moreover, the heads of the several executive departments, are to be viewed as auxiliaries to the executive chief. Opposition to any measure of his, by either of those heads, except in the shape of frank, firm and independent advice to himself, is evidently contrary to the relations, which subsist between the parties. And a measure becomes his, so far as to involve this duty of acquiesce, as well by its having received his sanction in the form of a law, as by its having previously received his approbation.
One of the powers entrusted to our chief magistrate is, that of objecting to bills which have passed the two houses of congress. This supposes the duty of objecting, when he is of opinion that the object of any bill is either unconstitutional or pernicious. The approbation of a bill implies, that he does not think it either the one or the other; and it makes him responsible to the community for this opinion. The measure becomes his by adoption; nor could he escape a portion of the blame, which would finally attach itself to a bad measure, to which he had given his consent.
Solid as are these principles, the public ear has, notwithstanding, been frequently assailed with com-
mon place topics, and plausible flourishes and declarations against them. However such flourishes may be dexterously retailed by the traffickers in popular prejudice, these principles, founded on political truth, may, with candour, be submitted to the deliberate opinion of an enlightened and sober people.
It may be asked—What? is a man to sacrifice his conscience and his judgment to an office? Is he to be a dumb spectator of measures which he deems subversive of the rights and interests of his fellow-citizens? Is he to polypone to the frivolous rules of a false complaisance, or the arbitrary dictates of a tyrannical decorum, the higher duty which he owes to the community? I answer, no! he is to do none of these things. If he cannot coalesce with those, with whom he is associated, as far as the rules of official decorum, propriety, and obligation may require, without abandoning what he conceives to be the true interest of the community, let him place himself in a situation, in which he will experience no collision of opposite duties. Let him not cling to the honour or emoluments of an office, and content himself with defending the injured rights of the people, by oblique or indirect means. Let him renounce a situation which is a clog upon his patriotism; tell the people that he could no longer continue in it without forfeiting his duty to them, and that he had quit it to be more at liberty to afford them his best services.
Such is the course would have been indicated by a firm and virtuous independence of character, that would have been pursued by a man attentive to unite the sense of delicacy with the sense of duty—in earnest about the pernicious tendency of public measures, and more solicitous to act the disinterested friend of the people, than the interested, ambitious, and intriguing head of a party.
But Mr. Jefferson clung for four years to the honours and emoluments of office, under an administration, whose measures he greatly disapproved, and persistingly opposed, till a more perplexed state of affairs, and the alarming prospect of approaching war, dictated his relinquishment of a station, too pregnant with anxieties to continue an object of desire.
PHOCION.
From the VIRGINIA HERALD.
As containing sound, federal, republican principles, we publish the following extract from an address to Ralph Wormeley, Esq. a candidate for the office of elector in Virginia.
1st. Is a candidate for an electorship warranted, under the constitution, in declaring publicly the names of the persons for whom he shall vote?
2d. Can those, who have a legal right to vote for an elector, demand with constitutional propriety, any declaration of this sort?
I am inclined to decide in the negative. The mode of voting by ballot is the direct antithesis of the mode of voting, viva voce. The constitution expressly prefers the former to the latter. But you and your fellow candidates have superceded the former by introducing the latter, and have thus departed from the constitution, but without intending it, I dare say. What avails the balloting for a President and Vice-President, when every body knows before the tickets are put into the box, and even before the electors are chosen, for what persons each elector will vote. Is it not an idle form? a ridiculous ceremony? an unconstitutional sacrifice of substance to form? Is it not to all intents and purposes a viva voce mode of balloting? In the election of two such important officers as the President and Vice-President of the United States, it was easy to foresee that personal enmities would be engendered, party animosities excited, and violent contentions provoked, which might alternately terminate in civil commotions, and therefore, the vote by ballot was preferred in order to guard as much as possible against those evils. Who that recollects the turbulent and sometimes bloody scenes that were once exhibited in the Polish Diets, but must admire the prudence of those who formed the constitution, in endeavouring to prevent an exhibition of similar scenes in this country? Who that admires this prudence, but must regret that the constitution has been evaded and defeated in this respect? But the people, it is said, are in fault; they have required the candidates to be explicit. The people who, to indulge personal prepossessions of any kind, can request a candidate to act unconstitutionally, and the candidate who from popular views, can prevail with himself to grant such a request, are both equally and woefully deficient in some of those attributes which are most essential, under free governments, to the characters of pure citizens. If the people claim as rights those things to which they have no right, not only wrong but wrongs must follow. Nor let it be imagined, as designing knaves and fools, who are always the tools of knaves, would have us believe, that a demand for what is wrong, because it is made by the many, is therefore right.
That which it is wise and just to resist in a single individual, it is, a fortiori, more wise and more just to resist in many individuals. This principle is admitted, in the moral system of all unadulterated republics, as a fundamental truth. Sooner or later I hope it will be engraven on the heart of every American. Until this be done, every little faction will be formidable—When it is, every great one will be contemptible. The people is the wonder working phrase with which the demagogues and jacobins of the day attempt to effect all their pernicious schemes—but you have too good an understanding to be duped by it. You know that the people, in their sense of the phrase, is not the people—The constitution has taught us, who the people are—We must know no other, and this puts its decisive veto upon the questions I have stated.
Principles, not men, should govern us upon all, but especially upon public occasions. As you have expressed yourself generally to this effect; as you have, in a manner that does you credit, pronounced a well deserved panegyric upon the wise and patriotic system of administration adopted by our federal executive, and formed with so much und shaken firmness and conscious virtue, during a perilous and trying crisis; as I know you to be a friend to peace, order and good government, and to be honest, independent and federal; you shall have the vote of
ARGUS FEDERALIS.

Extract of a letter from Trenton, Nov. 3.
I send you the names of the Electors for the state of New Jersey, this day chosen by the Legislature by a very great majority, men of the first character, and all good and true Federalists.
Col. Aaron Ogden, Elizabeth-Town. Col. John Neilson, Brunswick. Gen. Elisha Lawrence, Monmouth county. Caleb Newbold, Burlington county. Col. Jonathan Rhea, Trenton. John Blackwood, Gloucester county. Capt. William Colefax, Bergen county.

From the American Daily Advertiser.
Messrs. CLAYPOOLE,
The right of voting at Elections being one of the most important privileges of free citizens, ought to be guarded from abuse with the most scrupulous jealousy; and as the acts of naturalization are not generally known, it may be of use to publish the following opinions on the subject, given by gentlemen of the highest legal abilities, for the information of your fellow citizens.
WE are clearly of opinion, that no foreigner having come into this country since the declaration of independence, is entitled to a vote at a general election, whatever may have been his length of residence, unless he has been naturalized according to the existing laws of Pennsylvania.
That the proper evidence of his having been naturalized prior to the 26th of March, 1790, is a certificate from a magistrate, of his having taken the oath or affirmation of allegiance to the State, as prescribed by law.
And that the proper evidence of naturalization since the 26th of March, 1790, is a certified copy of the record of the court where such person has been naturalized, conformable to the acts of Congress of the United States.
Signed, WILLIAM LEWIS. WILLIAM RAWLE. Nov. 3, 1796.
I concur in the above opinion. I regret that I am called upon so suddenly, that I have not an opportunity to give the reasons of my opinion. I conceive that since the 26th of March, 1790, a state legislature cannot determine what shall constitute citizenship. I do not know of any act by which the legislature of Pennsylvania have undertaken to constitute citizenship: a proviso in an act of the 13th March, 1789, leaves the question to the constitution—with that constitution this clause ceased to operate.
It is not revived by the Schedule to the present constitution, because not a substantive act, and because inconsistent with the present constitution.
I have not time to explain myself farther, I therefore concur generally, nor do I conceive that any reasonable doubt can be entertained upon the subject.
Signed, JARED INGERSOLL. Nov. 3, 1796.
COMMUNICATIONS.
A correspondent remarks that the re-publication at this juncture of the treaties of Pavia & Pignerol, with a jesuitical emphasized preface, in Mellons Brown's and Bacha's papers, is an appropriate feature of the politics of those Gazettes, and of the whistling character of the compiler of the article.
The bore on the public, in loading the columns of those papers with documents of that nature, has rent the flimsy veil of blank impartiality, and will at a future day, serve to exhibit in proper person a certain cuddling proteus politician, who finds himself condemned to the Sisyphian task of rolling up hill a stone that will perpetually recoll upon him to the end of his pilgrimage.
Amongst the wicked and ridiculous tricks now playing off by the jacobins, to ensnare voters to their ticket, they have the impudence to call theirs the republican ticket, and the federal ticket the monarchy ticket: Who that knows the characters of the candidates can forbear laughing at such folly? In looking over the names of ISRAEL WHEELER & THOMAS MC KEAN, which should we be most apt to consider as the plain simple republican or the doughty imperious monarchist? Is there any citizen so ignorant as to suspect Israel Wheeler, and the other candidates on the federal ticket, of voting for a monarchy man? For shame, ye disorganizers—blush at such weak attempts to impose on the public—they are not to be duped by such tricks: All your calumnies will never persuade them that Israel Wheeler and Co. will vote for a king. The people can read as well as yourselves, and can take care of their liberties without your assistance.
Do the jacobins suppose that electioneering and publishing is to be all on one side? Who pays for the spies employed by them? Who began the attack? Who lent explosives all over the country with calumnies and falsehoods?
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. FENNO,
I observe that the address of the Author, recommending their ticket, is to be translated into French; but that appears unnecessary, for from the language and style, every plain man who reads it must be convinced that it was originally composed in the French language. I wish some of your French correspondents would inform me what these Anties mean by a tocsin, it is a foreign word we country people do not understand; we wish in future they would write in intelligible language.

Published by order of the Meeting, BENJ. FRANKLIN BACHE, Sec.
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 Carlon, Dauphin, William Wilson, Northumberland, Samuel Poffenbarger, 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, we are 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.
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.
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.
MR. PRINTER. Your inserting the inclosed address in your enterprising Gazette, will very much oblige A FEMALE FRIEND.
Return once more and bless our ravish'd sight, I nipse our souls with ever new delight; C harm us again—with more than magic art, K now that you captivate each female heart. E nchanting youth, our throbbing bosoms prove, T he pangs that wait on those who fondly love. T hen ah return, dear youth, and with thee bring S uch joys as only from thy presence spring. Petersburg, Virginia, Sept. 15.
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
RUTLAND, (Vermont) October 24.
The honorable Moses Robinson, late senator in for this state in congress, on Saturday the 15th inst. communicated to the governor, the following resignation of that important office.
Rutland, October 15, 1796.
Dear Sir,
Having received an appointment to the office of a senator of the United States, it was my intention to have served the whole term for which I was elected; but the circumstances of my domestic affairs are such, as render it wholly incompatible with either my interest or duty, any longer to hold that office.
I therefore take this method to communicate to the legislature, from whom I received the appointment, a resignation of said office. However desirable popular applause may be, yet the consciousness of having acted with integrity, and from the purest principles of love of our country, affords a consolation highly to be preferred.
The free suffrages of my fellow-citizens, for a number of years past, gave me an opportunity to express my attachment to their interest; and be assured, Sir, that a just sense of my obligation to my country, is too deeply impressed on my mind
ever to be effaced or to be an indifferent spectator of its prosperity or misfortunes.
I am, dear Sir, with respect, and sentiments of high esteem, Your excellency's most obedient and very humble servant, MOSES ROBINSON. His excellency Thomas Chittenden.
Hereafter there can be no question as to the federalism of the state of Vermont.
On Tuesday last, the general assembly of this state, chose the hon. Isaac Tichenor, senator to congress, in the room of Mr. Robinson, resigned. Mr. Tichenor is elected to serve at the next session of congress, and for the six years succeeding, and has accepted his appointment.
The legislature of Vermont choose the electors for that state. That they will be true federalists is undoubted.

WINCHESTER, October 28.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Maryland to his correspondent here. "We have had a very warmly contested election in Hager's Town. Sp-g, with all his influence, supported Ruggold, as an anti treaty man, against a plain, honest German. He is a spirited young fellow, and supported himself with a becoming dignity. He publicly avowed himself a friend to order and good government, and to that Great Man who, by a certain party, has been so much insulted and vilified. The young man was supported by the Germans, his staunch friends, who, when they understood the nature of the dispute, cleaved to him as one man:—For, being a plain, sensible people, and finding themselves happy and thriving under the present establishment, they did not wish to run the risk of a change."
AMERICAN CLAIMS. In the High Court of Admiralty. Sir James Marriott, Judge.
Samuel Bayard, agent of the United States, &c. in behalf of Messrs. John and Thomas Stephens and Israel Thorndike, citizens of the United States, and owners of the schooner Relief and cargo, Afa Cole, master.—Claimants—against General Sir Charles Grey and Admiral Sir John Jarvis.
The Relief was an American vessel seized by the British forces at Martinique shortly after the capture of that island. On the 19th of April 1794, she was libelled in a pretended Court of Admiralty established at Martinique by the captors. On the 5th of May the vessel and cargo were sold, and on the 14th they were condemned.
On the 28th of Feb. 1795, Mr. Bayard filed his claim in the High Court of Admiralty on behalf of the owners; and a motion thereupon issued against Admiral Jarvis and General Grey, directing them to bring into the registry of the court the ship's papers and all depositions taken in preparatory. The captors, though a year had elapsed from the time of the issuing of the monition, brought in no papers; and the king's advocate and proctor admitted, that they did not expect to bring in any. The cause was therefore heard on the ex parte evidence produced by the claimants.
Doctors Nicholl and Lawrence for the claimants, and Sir William Scott, the king's advocate for the captors.
On the 2d of Feb. 1796 Sir James Marriott delivered his opinion as follows:
Since the king's advocate and proctor both admitted that there is no prospect of shortly, if at all, receiving from their clients any further papers respecting these American vessels seized at Martinique, as they admit this vessel to be one of those seized and sold by persons under the orders of Sir Charles Grey and Sir John Jarvis, and as the claimants have done all in their power to have the ships papers
brought forward, and, not being able to obtain them from the captors, have furnished such as were in their power, I do not see how I can do otherwise than decree the restitution of this vessel and cargo.
Dr. Nicholl then moved, that the restitution might be accompanied with costs and damages, and Sir William Scott submitting to the judgment of the court, the Judge further declared as follows:
Whenever a wrong has been done, it is the duty of a court of justice, when applied to, not only to repair that wrong, but to decree the party aggrieved compensation for the loss he may have sustained by the illegal detention of his property. In all cases where seamen have come into this court to demand the wages that have been wrongfully detained from them, I have made it a rule, to direct payment not only of the wages due them, but also the costs and charges they have been put to in recovering them. It is immaterial whether the defendants in this case have done the wrong themselves or others under their command. They knew of the seizure and sale of these vessels; they constituted this pretended court of admiralty for the purpose of condemning them; and their agents have received the proceeds of these vessels and cargoes, which I have no doubt they have taken good care of. But these proceedings are against the Americans were wrongful, and they must have justice done them. This money so illegally gotten must be refunded to its proper owners. It is a pity that brave men are not always wise men. But I have nothing to say to them as officers or as men: they appear now before the court as parties to a suit, and it is my duty to enforce the rules of justice.
As to Sir Charles Grey he might have had little to do in the business; but Sir John Jarvis ought and must have known better—Let the vessel be restored with costs and damages.
As the king's advocate was not prepared in the other cases, the judge, with the consent of the claimant's counsel, directed them to stand over to the next admiralty day; but at the same time he said, Don't let it be told in America, that this court declines sitting to hear and decide these cases. I am willing to hear as many as counsel are prepared to argue. The captors were in a great hurry to sell these vessels and pocket the money. As they have now had the use of it long enough, they should restore it with a good grace to those who have a right to demand it.
Philadelphia, November 4.
If Mr. Jefferson (says a Boston paper) should succeed in the Presidency, he must either change the entire system of the present administration, or offend the friends to whom he will be indebted for his elevation. Without doubt, he will prefer the former alternative. Have we considered, and are we ready to meet this change? The officers at the heads of the great departments will immediately retire from posts in which they cannot enjoy the confidence of the President. The French party—the party who rejoice at the news of a decree for capturing our property; who would justify the French in breaking solemn treaties; who contend publicly that France ought to make war upon us, unless we unite in a strong party with them; that zealous, imbecile, and headstrong party would take the lead in our affairs. Are we prepared for this change? Is not the advantage that might result from it at least problematical? And is not our present prosperity certain? Can we do better? May we not do worse? Think of these things, and think of JOHN ADAMS.
REPLY to the communication in the Aurora of this morning, on the subject of citizen Adet's Note.
The whole substance of the above vindication of citizen Adet's Note, rests altogether on this ground; that, "inasmuch as by our commercial treaty, with France, that nation is to enjoy all the advantages relating to commerce, which may be granted by the United States to the most favor'd nations, the paying for them the equivalent, if any, that has been paid by such nations, and inasmuch as the United States have granted by treaty to Great-Britain the right to seize French property found on board American vessels, therefore France has an equivalent right to seize British property found on board our vessels."
The fallacy of the above reasoning will be detected by a few plain observations, the conclusion resting entirely on premises which are universally known to be false.
Let any unprejudiced man read the preamble and the first, second and third articles of the treaty, and he will find that they mean no more than, "that France is to be permitted to import all goods into the United States, which the most favor'd nations may be permitted to import, and shall pay no higher duties or tonnage on her goods or vessels than the most favor'd nations; and that her ships shall enjoy in passing from one port of the United States to another and in navigating to and from the United States the same privileges that any other nation enjoys."
Therefore even admitting that the United States had granted by treaty to G.B. the right of seizing enemy's property, found in their vessels, a correspondent right could not have been claimed by France under the treaty, inasmuch as it cannot be considered as a commercial privilege, however she might have had a right to claim it under the laws of neutrality.
But it is denied, that the United States have granted this right by treaty to Great-Britain. She had long practised upon it as derived from the law of nations, and exercised it at the time the United States formed their commercial treaty with France. For proof of this, see Jefferson's reasoning on the subject, in his letters to Genet and Morris, (printed Correspondence) in which the exercise of this right is clearly and incontrovertibly proved to belong to Great-Britain, and in which reasoning, the French republic have apparently acquiesced for three years.
Moreover, on reference to the 17th article of our treaty with England, it will shew that, so far from having granted this right, the United States have obtained a relaxation in the exercise of it; the law of nations having authorised a more vexatious exercise of the right, than is permitted by the treaty.
France then, well apprized of this right, enters into an express stipulation with the United States, that she will not exercise it towards them, when they shall be at peace, and she at war.
And yet, after a long acquiescence in this exemption, and a formal recognition of it, (by the repeal
of a decree which had for a moment suspended it, she now chooses to consider it as working unequal, and affirms that as the reason for its threatened violation.
The executive directory, (taking a very different ground from the Apologist in the Aurora,) states the threatened violation, to rest "on the detriment which France may receive from the advantages which she had by her treaty secured to the United States."
The law of nations furnishes no justification of the kind; the books, on the contrary, say, "that the injury a nation may sustain from a treaty, is not a justifiable reason for such nation to refuse complying with its conditions."
Marian's, law of nations, p 52.
"Real treaties never cease to be obligatory, except in cases where all treaties become invalid."
Id. p. 55.
"The maritime powers have begun to issue declarations to advertise the neutral powers, that they shall look upon such and such merchandise as contraband: but the effects of these declarations cannot by any means be extended to those neutral powers, with which the powers that issue them have treaties of commerce, in which THIS MATTER IS SETTLED."
Id. p. 321.
"One of the parties has not a right to swerve from a treaty, otherwise valid and obligatory, except in the case of a collision, or in that of an infraction by the other."
Id. p. 34.
Besides, France, herself previous to her treaty with us, had always exercised the same right, as resulting from the law of nations, by seizing enemy's property in neutral bottoms, where not secured by treaty. (See Marine Ordinances, under the articles, prize.)
And at the very moment that she complains of the exercise of this right on the part of Great-Britain, she has made a practical comment on the laws of nations, in this respect by seizing enemy's property, even on NEUTRAL TERRITORY; in the case of the seizing of British property at Leghorn.
Thus we see that before and subsequent to her commercial treaty with the United States, she has practised upon the same principle which she seems now disposed to force the United States into a War to compel England to renounce.
The foregoing remarks, and the authorities which have been referred to, leave no room for doubt in the mind of every independent American, that if the threat of the French government shall be carried into execution, the United States will have learnt a new lesson in politics—that the most liberal, sincere and faithful observance of treaties, the most generous construction of the laws of neutrality, nay, even an exposure to danger, by measures not warranted either by our treaty or the laws of neutrality, are not sufficient to retain the friendship of that nation and to preserve inviolate her stipulations when she feels from them a momentary inconvenience, which she had fully contemplated at the time they were made.

The Creditors of Scott and M c Michael, formerly merchants of this city, and who failed in the year 1763, or 1764 (and from whom the subscriber purchased bills of exchange to amount of several hundred pounds sterling, which have lain by him ever since,) are requested, every MAN of them that is living, to meet at the City-Tavern on Tuesday, the 15th of November next, at 6 o'clock in the evening, in order to oblige Charles Cox, formerly of this city, now of New-Jersey, and John Bayard, formerly of said city, and speaker of the House of Assembly of said state, now of Brunswick, New-Jersey, assignees of said Scott & M c Michael, to come forward and pay over the monies they have had in their hands belonging to the creditors there 32 or 33 years. Some years ago the creditors were called together; Mr. Cox appeared in behalf of himself and Mr. Bayard, and alleged that they were apprehensive they might be brought into trouble if they parted with the money (which I apprehend is some thousands,) as his Britannic Majesty had a debt due him for government bills: it was however agreed by the creditors met, that the assignees should take the opinion of counsel; they did so, and it was that they would be safe in dividing the money among the creditors. I urged Mr. Cox to bring the business to a final close; his answer was, it would be but a trifling sum; my reply was, if ever so trifling, I would have my proportion of it. It has however lain over.
I therefore hope the creditors will now come forward and oblige the assignees to divide whatever they have, and they ought to pay interest too. George Meade. Philadelphia, 2d November, 1796. diw 5N.

My demand is for a balance due on a returned bill of 1000. sterling, costs, damages and interest. George Meade. Philadelphia, November 2d, 1796. diw 8N.
The Creditors of Van Vleck and Barton, and William Barton, & Co. (who failed in the year 1784) are earnestly requested to meet at the City-Tavern, on Wednesday the 9th November, at 6 o'clock in the evening in order to oblige the surviving assignees, Stephen Austin, and Andrew Lodge to close their affairs. John Chandler, deceased, who was one of the assignees, once offered to the subscriber 12/6 in the pound for his debt, which is for a returned bill of 8000 guilders, with costs damages and interest, and the assignees have never paid but 5/ in the pound, though they advertised goods belonging to William Barton & Co. in the year 1784 or 1785, and allowed every creditor the liberty of buying to the amount of 10/ in the pound of their debts. George Meade. Philadelphia, November 2d, 1796. diw 9N.
The Creditors of Clement Biddle & Co. are requested to meet at the City-Tavern on Monday the 14th inst. in order to oblige the assignees to a settlement of their affairs, which have lain over these twelve years; the subscriber's demands is for a returned bill of 1000. sterling, damages 20 per cent. and interest.

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 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 bringing the said trunk away, and emptying it of upwards of a thousand dollars in cash and bank notes, the villains left it behind the circus, during the time that the performances of the evening were going forward.
It is earnestly requested, that all tavern-keepers on the stage roads, and the ferry houses, as well as all civil officers, may be watchful in securing suspicious persons, who may have a redundancy of cash, which their appearance would by no means bespeak them to be possessed of.
One Hundred Dollars Reward Will be given for securing the thief or thieves, and a further reward for securing them with the property. Oct. 21. d
