ROVEREDO, April 16. The day before yesterday, field marshal Suwarrow arrived at Verona where the Emperor had been prepared for his reception and where the Russian guard arrived yesterday, the 15th instant. The other columns follow by forced marches, taking no resting days, but the infantry marching one day and being transported on waggons the next.
The Imperial army passed the river Mincio on the 14th and pushed their van as far as Sabbioneta della Stiviere. Generals Klebau and Elnitz remained on the right bank of the Mincio in order to surround Peschiera and Mantua, the bombardment of Peschiera goes on briskly, at Goito the Austrians surprised a corps of the French, and in the night of the 13th several hundred French prisoners taken there, were brought into Verona. The corps which advanced from Tyrol between the lakes of Garda and Iseo, is pushing forward, the column of general Vukassovich is only yet a few leagues from Brescia, where they are in want of artillery, and the garrison of the citadel consists only of 700 men.
In the night of the 13th instant, 13,000 Imperial troops marched through Verona, in order to reinforce the center of General Kray. The enemy having taken all the provisions away from the districts which they have evacuated, general Kray has issued a proclamation inviting the inhabitants of the Veronese, to bring provisions to the army.
Letter from Paris, April 18. The command in chief of the army of the Danube has now been actually taken from General Jourdan, and by two decrees of the 12th inst. General Massena has been appointed commander in chief of the army of the Danube and Helvetia, with the instruction to send all the Generals and Officers of the army of the Danube who did not remain at the head of their troops to Nancy and to send a list of their names to the Directory. It is said, that he has likewise an unlimited power to make his disposition as he shall think proper, and even to suspend generals of divisions and brigades, and to appoint others in their place. General Bernadotte has likewise left his command; his army of observation now only forming the left wing of the army of the Danube.
FRANKFORT, April 23. On the Upper Rhine, according to the latest accounts every thing is quiet as yet, and every one is full of expectation, of some great attempt towards Switzerland, of which it seems the whole depends and which must be decisive.
But letters from Switzerland and Alsace, are totally wanting, and we know nothing of what happens there. It is said that in the neighbourhood of Lucerne considerable troubles have arisen. It was reported yesterday, that Constance was in the hands of the French. On the 21st the outposts of the French Camp under Manheim, had skirmishes near Schwtzingen; at Nusslock, was likewise a skirmish.
The whole peasantry in the Odemwald, are under arms; near Manheim, are daily skirmishes between the French and the peasants. The engagement on the 20th was the severest, wherein several were killed on both sides: The bailiff of Gungenbach and two peasants were taken prisoners; a large imperial frigate Magazine is seizing at Eitensberg. The French Commissary Marguin in Mentz, in a proclamation to the inhabitants of the Left Bank of the Rhine, has declared—"That certain weighty circumstances delayed as yet the incorporation of these countries with the French Republic."
It is asserted here that the negotiations with the German Empire, will be continued at Cassel, and the Prussian Court, labours incessantly to procure a general peace, and it is even said that it has brought it so far with the Government of France, that they have agreed to evacuate those countries which they have taken possession of since the first of May, 1797, and likewise to consent to a general Congress.
VIENNA, April 20. The Emperor has promoted a great number of officers on account of their good behaviour, in the several actions with the French.
According to further accounts from Gen. Kray of the 8th inst: Gen. Corat Klenau had taken possession of Governolo, the only port which the enemy could make use of, to cross the lower Mincio, and made there, as well as in the strong castle of Ponte Milino more than 1000 men and seven officers prisoners, whereby we are now entire masters of the Tartaro and the Tion.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany arrived here on the evening of the 17th. On the 18th, in the afternoon field marshal Suwarrow executed the orders of arch Duke Charles and took the city of Schaffhausen. The said General adhered strictly to the instructions of his Royal Highness, to spare the city as much as possible, and for that purpose proposed a convention with the enemy that they should not make use of the elegant bridge, which is really a master piece of architecture, but the enemy refused, made opposition, and was forced to retreat, they committed the cruelty to set fire to the bridge which had been filled previously with combustibles, which was consumed with two houses adjoining thereto; but as for the rest, the city sustained no other damage.
BOTTLED PORTER FOR SALE AT HARE'S BREWERY. June 20.
BOSTON June 18. Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in Europe, to his friend in town, dated in February.
"The French Directory continue their professions of a disposition for a reconciliation with the United States, and they have lately sent to the Council of Five Hundred, a message upon the subject of sea prizes, which has every semblance of a determination to discourage privateering, especially against the trade of neutral powers. But its real object is, to obtain a discretionary power, by virtue of which they might make and alter their maritime regulations at their pleasure. They ask of the Council to decree that all prize causes shall finally be settled "administratively." That is, they require not merely an united executive and legislative, but something more comprehensive still—an arbitrary power. Their argument is more ingenious than ingenuous. They say "Your laws concerning prizes are bad—therefore you must change them." That is, you must give us the power of dispensation from them. Whether the Council will notice, that in this case, the explanation is in direct opposition to the thing explained, and that under the pretence of making an alteration in the laws, the Directory ask for a power above the laws, is yet to be seen. But to every other eye it must be plain, that they are less concerned for a reformation of the laws, than for an addition to their own power. It is however evident from the facts alleged, in this document, that the system which they have hitherto pursued has been as pernicious, as it has been disgraceful to France. They tell us that the fate of all the privateers fitted out, is, to fall sooner or later into the hands of the English; that there is not a single merchant vessel under French colours sailing upon the ocean; that by privateering alone, they have, within the last three years, lost a balance of twenty thousand sailors, captured by the enemy, and that under their present marine laws, neutral vessels, laden for the account of the French Government, have been taken by French cruisers, and condemned by French Courts of Admiralty. This last circumstance serves to characterize, in a perfect manner, the wisdom and the justice of their regulations. Probably if the Directory could settle cases "administratively," they would find a remedy for this special case. But if the loss should fall upon a neutral merchant or government, instead of themselves, there is no reason to suppose they would be so equitable."
CINCINNATI, May 21. The following important and alarming intelligence was handed in for publication a few days ago:
Earl Washington, May 15th, 99. By a letter dated the 4th of May, 1799, I am informed from colonel David Strong, commanding at Detroit, that there is a report of a body of Indians collecting, who are meditating some hostile operations against some part of the frontiers. I am requested to make it known to the public.
EDWARD MILLER, Captain, Commanding.
LEXINGTON, May 28. By a gentleman just arrived here from Cincinnati, we are informed that general Wilkinson had received orders to repair immediately to Philadelphia. He also informs, that all officers of rank had received similar orders.
FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT, CHARLESTON,
CHARLESTON, June 3. Benjamin Woodie, esq. b's Britannic Majesty's consul in behalf of the Vigilant and other privateers, versus capt. John Thompson, of the brig Abigail , and James K. Hamilton. On Saturday last, Judge Bee pronounced a decree in the above new and interesting case. The particulars proved in court were, that the brig Abigail , of Philadelphia, on her passage from the Havannah to Campeachy, was captured by the Vigilant privateer, capt. Miller, and two others, of New Providence, who put a prize-master and eight men on board her, filled her state rooms with dry goods out of the privateers, and ordered her for New Providence; but that a few days after her capture, capt. Thompson, and Mr. Hamilton, the owner, with the assistance of a boy left on board with them, regained the command of their vessel, and brought her safe into Charleston.
Under these circumstances, it was contemplated to libel the Abigail and her cargo, in behalf of capt. Miller and the other privateers; but the libel was, in fact, limited to the goods put on board her from the privateers. Mr. Hamilton claimed the goods, on account of the damage he sustained by the frustration of his lawful voyage.
The case was argued by counsel on Friday. Mr. Marshall, for the libellant, contended that this court could not take up the question of damage in this case; that in an article of the British treaty, privateers had an acknowledged right to take in American vessels on mere suspicion: that for remedy in case of illegal capture, Americans can only resort to the British courts: and that by retaining their vessel, and refusing to go to New-Providence, the claimants had virtually relinquished all claim to damages.
Mr. Pringle, for the claimant, refuted the above doctrine; and shewed, from approved authorities, that the principles assumed by the British, of making prizes of neutral vessels bound from one enemy's port to another, was entirely arbitrary, and contravened the laws of nations, as well as all colour of justice: that by coming into this court, the libellant acknowledged its complete jurisdiction: that the right of neutrals to defend their property, or to take it by force, was incontrovertible; and that neutrals have also the right, by law as well as in justice, to attach the persons and property of those by whom they may have suffered, wherever they can find them.
The court decreed, that the goods in question be sold by the marshal; that 12,233 dollars, 56 cents, be paid to the claimant, and the residue, if any, to the libellant.

CAPTURE OF VERONA. From "Le Point du Jour," a Paris paper of 24th Germinal, April 13th, handed to us by an obliging friend. [Mer. Ad.]
MILAN, 10 Germinal, (20 March.) The Commander in Chief, Scherer, writes to citizen Ricard, Ambassador of the Republic at Milan—
"Yesterday I gave you an account of a victory obtained by the French on the Adige, [it is the same which has been published at Paris by order of the Director,] to-day I open my letter to announce one much more important."
"For some days, large bodies of artillery and other troops had defiled towards the Adige from the Tyrol; the Imperial army occupied a camp before Verona; the fortifications had been furnished with a large quantity of artillery and a numerous garrison. The citizens had, at the same time, received orders to lay up provisions for many months, or to quit the city; every thing announced that it was the determination of the Austrians to maintain and defend this post to the last extremity."
"French valour has overturned their plan. A courier, arrived this morning, brings an account of a battle alike bloody and obstinate, which took place in the environs of Verona. The field of battle was covered with 15,000 killed and wounded: but the victory was on the side of the French. The Austrians experienced a total defeat; their camp was forced, and Verona capitulated."
"It was the 7th of this month that the French army commenced the attack of twenty two redoubts which defended the city of Verona. The attack and defence were equally obstinate—twice the French were repulsed; but, on the third attack, a skilful maneuvre of the division of general Moreau, and the bravery of the republicans, which continually increased, obtained the victory. The two armies agreed to a truce for twenty-four hours, to bury the dead. The 8th at night, Verona was taken; the garrison, consisting of 10,000 men, are made prisoners of war."
"The Swiss and Piedmontese legions distinguished themselves greatly, and have received the encomiums which they justly merit. The new levies have done wonders; one of them, who had, without avail, solicited to be admitted into the corps of grenadiers, was not discouraged, but proved that he was worthy."
"At the attack, he threw himself before the grenadiers, into the entrenchments of the Austrians, and there planting his fusze, and covering it with his bat became the cry, 'Long live the New Levies!' a sergeant of grenadiers pulled off his epaulets, and gave them to him. A Chief of Brigade, having gained the summit of a parapet, fell, pierced with balls, and cried, 'I die for my Republic!' (Extract from the official bulletin of the Helvetic Directory.)"
[The above is really a master-piece of veracity. The worthy new levy, the sergeant of grenadiers and the chief of Brigade, are, forsooth imagined beings, and the bloody victory of Verona, a matter of moonshine. 'Tis a lying world, my masters!]
BOSTON, June 19. Contained in Extracts of various letters from Europe by the last arrivals.
"The President's nomination, and the capture of the Insurgente, have been some time known at Paris, but are not noticed, although it appears that the affairs of the United States have before engaged a constant attention; in the latter end of February, an elaborate dissertation supposed to be written in Talleyrand's office, was printed in the Monitor, under the title of Remarks on the speech of President Adams to Congress:—This publication among other things asserts that the phrase of Mr. Gerry, which has been construed into a conditional engagement on the part of France, was intended merely as a compliment to Mr. Gerry, and not an engagement to receive another Minister—Still less did it mean to assume the right of preferring the character which alone should be received; it asserts that direct assurances on this head were afterwards given to the President through a channel free from suspicion—and it adds the next news from Philadelphia would confirm the private accounts already received of the pacific disposition of the American cabinet;—it is evident, says the writer, that the tone of the cabinet is lowered, and its views changed in respect to the views of the Great Nation.—There is much evidence besides the proof which this paper furishes of the determination of the Directory to suppress their resentments and be blind to every provocation and by apparent moderation and concessions to baffle the measures of union, safety and defence adopted by the United States.—Their means vary with circumstances but their end is the same; they will subscribe to a form of words that will amuse the people of the United States and appease their indignation; promises cost nothing, and their morality requires them to give all such — may be necessary to procure them a new influence over the American people. Simulation and insidious policy is become the more necessary from their late disasters:—Their three great armies which by a combined plan were to advance at the same time against the Austrians from Swabia, the Grisons and Italy, in expectation of forming a junction near Vienna, have each been repulsed with great loss."
The Archduke, who has turned upon the French their own system of war, has entered Switzerland, and by a judicious proclamation called upon the Swiss to assist him in expelling the French from their country; the left and centre of Jourdan's army have returned to the Rhine, and will be forced to re cross it—the Right has joined Massena
* Mr. Murray. † They have retroceded it.
in Switzerland where a battle may be soon expected; and if victory should be on the side of the Austrians, the Swiss will rise and avenge the perfidies and barbarities they have suffered from France.
"Twenty-five thousand Russians are in Italy, and will soon reach the scene of action—two other columns of Russians are marching towards Germany, one of them, it is said with Prince Constanine, the Emperor's second son is already on the confines of Austria, and the other stated at 50,000 men will follow with the utmost expedition.—Russia is at length engaged with great zeal, and if it were not for the disadvantages inseparable from all coalitions it might be presumed that the French would soon be punished for the miseries they have inflicted upon the civilized world.—At this moment the Directory are in the utmost dread of an explosion at Paris, as it is now they see their error in sending their ablest officers and best troops to perish in Egypt, for perith they probably must even if their enemies the Turks and Arabs never win a battle."
NAVAL AFFAIRS. The return of the ships of war of the United States, from the West-India station has excited great regret and murmuring in all the West-India islands. Insurance has risen 5 per cent there, in consequence.
French privateers swarm about the Straights of Gibraltar. In the Spanish ports continual threats of vengeance are exchanged between the French and Americans.
In a few weeks we hope to hear of an American squadron cruising in the European seas. Our commerce there requires protection, on both from French rapacity and Spanish piracy.
The Ganges, Baltimore, Norfolk, Eagle and Richmond, are cruising off Guadaloupe.
The Portmouth, of 24 guns, Capt. McNeil, has failed on a cruise; and has been spoken near Georges.
A Court-Martial will be held the 27th inst. on board the Constitution, for the trial of Lt. J. L. Cordis, of that ship. Capt. Talbot is appointed President.
The King of Great-Britain's third and fourth sons, Prince Edward and Ernest Augustus, are created Peers of Great Britain and Ireland; the former by the title of Duke of Kent and Strathern, and Earl of Dublin;—the latter by the title of Duke of Cumberland, and Earl of Armagh.

PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24.
[WHILE France fashions her conduct towards America by her idea of our character and situation, America is too willing to be deceived with respect to the character and situation of France. From this source spring nearly all the difficulties with which we have been overwhelmed since the eruption of French republicanism. Forbearance never wears the appearance of dignified moderation unless the power, by which aggression is to be repulsed, is very conspicuous. Our tameness has been mistaken for cowardice, and our reputation increasingly sullied by our ardor for reconciliation. With our fame we have lost our property, and our domestic tranquility, and we are yet disposed to rely on the faith of a nation whose perfidy is proverbial. Plunder and conquest are the objects of the Directory; we should therefore be extremely careful not to furnish them with weapons against ourselves. That weapons have been furnished (and weapons of all others the most destructive, the means of seducing the most ignorant and turbulent classes of the people) by procrastinating an avowed state of hostility, is seen and felt at home; and evidenced from the press of the Directory. The following article, translated from a Paris paper, abounding, with ignorance, impudence and falsehood, would never have existed to calumniate our government, if a formal declaration of war had immediately succeeded the return of our outraged minister, Mr. Pinckney. In such a state of things there would have been few barefaced and vaunting traitors, few deluded opposers of defensive measures, and more self-approbation in the community. But the consequences of delay have been humiliating in the extreme; and, considering the subsequent paragraphs as oozing from the muddy fountain of directorial artifice, lost must be the spirit of the nation indeed, if it is content to contemplate such a picture of itself, and be satisfied with the undefined and petty species of warfare that exists between the two countries.]
TRANSLATION
From "L'Ami des Loix" of the 23d Pluviôse, year 7 (11 Feb. 1799).
"Thanks to the wisdom of the Executive Directory! An alliance sought after, slips again from the insatiable maker of coalitions, Pitt. His long intrigues in the United States prove abortive, at the moment, when his dissimulation hardly hid the hope of success. The same fate awaits him in Germany, awaits him where ever the opinion of the people is of some weight. The hour that he had fixed on for the expulsion of liberty from Italy, has seen two republics rise on the ruins of two thrones."
"Upon what then was founded the chivalry-like arrogance of George the IIIrd's last speech to his venal Parliament? It seemed, as if the four quarters of the globe had promised him that he would take up arms against France; America, at least, had promised her word."
"Since Vendemiaire (October) last, the British Agents had designated in all the newspapers of the United States the exact epocha when Mack should open the career. They expected there with a secret anxiety the communication which the President, John Adams, would make at the meeting of Congress. We have just read that speech! It is no longer the Echo of those of George the IIIrd. It is no longer, passionate delamations, bitter reflections, exaggerated reproaches, where with the President had filled his former communications, and his answers to the popular addresses, in order to draw all the opinions in favor of war. The Directory's moderation has imposed on him the obligation to be moderate."
"In this respect, equity is satisfied; pride; reconciliation is close to combat; pacific professions accompany the recommendation of defensive measures. A French republic is invited to renew her amicable relation with the American republic; the question of etiquette, on the renewal of association, is introduced with delicacy. The President announces that he would send a minister, if he had explicit assurances of his reception. He pledges himself to receive in a manner becoming the representative of a great nation, the minister the Directory would send."
[The ridiculously continued use these republican tyrants make of the hackneyed terms, "British Agents" and "British intrigue" is calculated to excite merriment rather than serious chagrin at the insinuation that our rulers are under the influence and direction of any other nation than their own. If a detestation of the conduct of France has been expressed with spirit, it was the expression of the feelings of the people of the United States, and not of George the IIIrd. His opinions were unquestionably similar to those of the President, for all the enemies of France entertained the same; but they had
no relation to the President's speeches and addresses; therefore, if any deviation from those opinions has taken place, it is a departure from the ground assumed by our government; not from the dictates of a British ministry. It might have been proper for us never to have discovered our indignation, or never to have relinquished it, until our complaints were redressed.]
"We could not explain this change of language, without the assistance of our private letters; but we see that notwithstanding the epidemic disorder which had caused the cities to be deserted, and the printers under English influence, all the correspondence of the Minister of Foreign Relations with Mr. Gerry, has been published, and mediated upon by the citizens of the United States. The insidious commentaries of the British party have not been able to put out the rays of light which it has carried into the minds of the people. The manoeuvres directed against France were seen through; the danger to which American Liberty was exposed, has been felt; the people availed themselves of the elections, to leave out of the legislature suspected speakers, and to carry to its true Republicanism. But a few months since, an American hardly dared to express in public, his regret for the hostile course given to the differences existing between the two countries, a doubt whether it was true that the Directory was for war, and some aversion to an English alliance. Now a most respectable opposition is formed. It has a balance in Congress; and in March next it will reign over the remainder of the representation seduced by British intrigues. The great mass of the citizens backs it, and it dares to express the wish for an honorable peace. The knowledge of the dispositions of the Directory, manifested by its Arrests of 13th and 29th Thermidor last, was sufficient for that purpose."
[Here is a string of absurd and silly falsehoods that answer well enough to dust the eyes of those deluded wretches who are suffering under the oppression of the administration that vents them. They serve however, to convince us that any negotiation with France, at present, must be tedious, expensive and unsatisfactory. While private letters animate their hopes of a powerful party in this country, they will continue to meet our demands of indemnification with their ultimatums, a LOAN and a BRIBE. It is in vain they have a majority in Congress if that majority is unproductive. The Arrests of the Directory of 13th and 29th Thermidor last, like the worm-eaten foliage of a sickly tree, will not perform the function for which they were produced; the United States sees through them. Here follows the proof positive of this mighty charge.]
"We will cite but one fact—and it is a decisive one. A Doctor Logan arrived in France (at the epocha of these Arrests) for agricultural researches; received as a learned man by some of the Directors, he returns immediately to undecieve his countrymen. He lands at New-York. Tribes of spies are set upon him: the English faction persecutes him; the President denounces him to the Senate; and the people of Pennsylvania places him among their legislators."
[To a person unacquainted with Dr. Logan's character, his reception as a learner would not be surprising; but he would be at a loss to account for his immediate return. A learned man is not in danger of being flattered into a good opinion of the enemies of his country. But mistaken as this writer is in the character of the Doctor, and the predominant objects of his embassy, he is still more mistaken with respect to the "decisive fact" upon which he grounds his belief, in a great measure, of the subordination of America to the views and interests of the Directory. The constituents of Dr. Logan (perhaps 1000 men) would have elected, to represent them, any wretch of equal audacity, whose principles were known to be consonant with the holy right of insurrection, though he had been snatched from the gallows. They were the children of France, it is true, devoted to licentiousness: many of them fugitives from the goals of Ireland. The county of Philadelphia, which this self-appointed envoy represents, is composed of the suburbs of the city, and several thinly inhabited townships in its vicinity. The liberties of Philadelphia will chime with all the Union to produce, in the same space, an equal number of men so shamefully violent as are the electors who people these districts; yet the opinions of these men are represented as the epitome of the American mind. Dr. Logan, I believe, is very generally execrated for his assurance, and despised for his vanity.]
"What was the President to do, in a state of things so different from his expectations? All the means to warm up the minds were exhausted; and the national good sense had risen uppermost: the true papers of the negotiation were disseminated, and fables could no longer be invented: it became necessary to go with the circumstances, and it is what he has done."
"Has he done it with freedom? And can this change be supposed sincere? We think not. He had so far engaged himself, that
it was difficult for him to conciliate what had passed with the present; and from that, a certain stiffness is discovered in his expression of pacific dispositions. He is still surrounded with men, who are humbled, because their plan miscarried: from thence, is to be discovered a light shade of humor, which characterises every forced measure."
"The tenor even of his speeches, shews, that he does not choose to appear to have been in the wrong, and that he wishes to fix the attention of his co-citizens, on the point which hurts them. He brings back to their recollection the enormous losses of their commerce, and the indemnities they are entitled to; he observes to them that the offers of reconciliation from the Executive Directory have not been followed by any modification of measures; he takes care they should not forget, that every American vessel met at sea by French corsairs is arrested; that none escape condemnation; that the tribunals constantly adopt the conclusions of the captors; that the arrest of 12 Ventose 5 year, has no more protected them that complied therewith, than the treaty had before protected those who navigated under its faith; that the depredations continue in the French colonies, notwithstanding the prohibition of the Directory; that the execution given to the law of the 20 Nivose (concerning British goods) is more vexatious to neutrality than the law itself. He announces that till then the Council of Five Hundred had rejected every proposition brought forward for a revision of the laws relative to cruizers; he persists to demand from Congress that the perspective of a speedy reconciliation should not cause to be neglected the means of defence."
"But a recent discovery, demonstrates better than any thing else, the bottom of John Adams's heart. It cannot be doubted that at the very time he was composing his speech, he delivered some letters of marque to armed vessels having goods on board. One of them has just been arrested on the coast of St. Jean de Luz, having 4 guns and 12 men—her letter authorizes her to capture all French armed vessels met with within the limits of the United States; and on the high seas, in conformity to a law of Congress of 21 Messidor 6th year. This law, which is well known, is merely defensive; how can John Adams derive from it the means of aggression? Puerile means, it is true, but offensive by intention."
"The Executive Directory have pronounced themselves for a frank reconciliation; all the republicans of the United States have welcomed their declaration; the British cabinet is out-played, but it does not give up the game—What shall it not attempt to disunite again the two countries? It knows, that if it can suggest prosecutions superior to the Directory's moderation, it will destroy the happy fruits of eight months patience. Such is the explanation of the enigma. How many men yet in the United States do blindly follow that internal policy of a court, which seeks its salvation in a general conflagration! If the President be not of that number, he has them, at least for counsellors."
"However, it does not matter—Such is the excellency of a representative government that all power yields to the national pulse. The Directory knows how they can RALLY THE UNITED STATES TO THE GREAT CONFEDERATION OF REPUBLICS."
[Regarding as the sentiments of a solitary individual, this publication would be too unimportant to excite resentment, or to challenge observation; but when we see it contains the opinion, and is perhaps]
"Some one of the Directory, can we survey it with complacency. The confession at the conclusion is disavowed by their partisans here, and disbelieved by too many of our honest citizens; yet it is nevertheless true that their end is to revolutionize America, or in their own file of expressions "RALLY HER TO THE GREAT CONFEDERATION OF REPUBLICS." This is no novelty; the secret machinations of their government have constantly tended to the same point, but it has not before, been treated so daringly and expressly as the universal sentiment of Frenchmen. Alarming as this truth is, we regard it with unconcern, and our passive silence under their pretensions will shortly be pleaded as an evidence of their justice. It is in vain to declaim against France; it is home and there alone we must find for the evil."
"How repeatedly and how forcibly have we been warned of her various purposes. If we desired proofs, and were anxious for conviction, the bloody scenes of Europe would have furnished us with both. The same perverseness which preceded the downfall of all the republics in that quarter are still hovering, with baleful aspect, over our own. Insults and flatteries, menaces and concessions, robberies and relinquishments have all been marshalled like so many pioneers, to prepare the way for the spoiler. But it would seem we have seen these things only in our dreams, and heard the voice of warning only in our slumbers. An unruled calm broods over our minds, and the little spirit that was roused among us is subsiding again into apathy and indifference. While this temper deadens every national energy, and invigorates the nerves of faction, well may the director affirm "IT KNOWS THE WAY TO RALLY THE UNITED STATES TO THE GREAT CONFEDERATION OF REPUBLICS."
Well may it assert its controul over our lives, liberties and property. These are not the observations of one who is enamoured with the task of reprimand; he feels the alarming situation of his country, and will eschew to extend the feeling. He desires not to censure but to awaken. Could this be done hope would revive; we might drive the monster from our shores, and share the glory of his destruction.]
To W. IN this paper of the 22d inst. there is a piece signed W. reflecting on my well meant address to the managers of the Alms house and house of employ. It struck me at once, from the intemperate expressions that are in it, that the author was not quite right in his mind, and I pitied him. But I have since heard that a certain gentleman wrote it, whom I will not name. Be it who it will, the author lays it as hastily written. In this situation, I seem to take any advantage, and therefore I freely forgive all his abuse, as well of my character as of my employment, which he insinuates is a picker of oakum in goal; and further I give him leave to write it over if he chooses.
After this indulgence, I hope he will for his own reputation's sake, examine it well, and not commit himself prematurely, but take time, and let us have the new edition of his work as soon as he can, revised, corrected, and improved, for it is much wanted.
This from his friend, the author of No 1—to the Managers of the Alms House and House of Employment.
