THURSDAY, April 19. MR.

Upon neither of these occasions, had this new doctrine been broached, and yet in principle, they were certainly analogous, for in both cases, but especially the latter, hostilities might ensue upon the armed force protecting what was under its charge, and war might be the consequence.

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES. No. V.
From a retrospective view of what has been, a view of what is, and of what in all human probability will be, we are bound by every consideration to make preparation for the event.
In case we should be a prey to the rapacity of France without opposition, our fate would be as deplorable, as if we had met force with force.
The enthusiastic eccentricities of their rulers make them think impossibilities attainable.
I have seen some people (whom Hotspur would call "poppinjays") who would say, "it is a very pretty fight" if the city was on fire.
There is another description of men, who would remove from the settlements—run to the mountains—surrender every thing—do any thing—fly any where, to avoid fighting.
Sive per Syrtis iter æstuas, Sive facturus per inhospitalem Caucasum; vel quæ loca fabulosus Lambus Hydaspes.
No matter where—out of the reach of a cannon-ball. I hope, for the honor of the United States, that few such characters are to be found within her borders; but, of those procrastinating, fearless gentry, there are too many.
There are others again who are aware of the danger and of the necessity of resisting; but ashamed, or too stubborn to surrender French principles because they once held them.
Oh! my Countrymen! this is not the time for division, but unanimity—not for parties, but whole bodies? Let us all associate, that we may be stronger in our mutual support.
ARISTIDES. The following curious instance of the vigilance of the police of Paris, under the ancient government, is extracted from a "A Treatise on the Police of London"; a new and interesting work, which is now in the press, and will be published the latter end of this month.
A merchant of high respectability in Bourdeaux, had occasion to visit the metropolis upon commercial business, carrying with him bills and money to a very large amount.
On his arrival at the gates of Paris, a general looking man opened the door of his carriage, and addressed him to this effect: "Sir, I have been waiting for you some time; according to my notes you were to arrive at this hour, and your person, your carriage, and your portmanteau exactly answer the description I hold in my hand, you will permit me to have the honor of conducting you to Monsieur de Sartine."
The gentleman astonished and alarmed at this interruption, and still more so at hearing the name of the lieutenant of the police mentioned, demanded to know what Monsieur de Sartine wanted with him, adding at the same time, that he never had committed any offence against the laws, and that he could have no right to interrupt or detain him.
The messenger declared himself perfectly ignorant of the cause of the detention, stating at the same time, that when he had conducted him to Monsieur de Sartine, he should have executed his orders, which were merely ministerial.
After some further explanation, the gentleman permitted the officer to conduct him accordingly.
Monsieur de Sartine received him with great politeness; and after requesting him to be seated, to his great astonishment, he deferred his portmanteau, and told him the exact sum in bills and specie, which he had brought with him to Paris, and where he was to lodge, his usual time of going to bed, and a number of other circumstances, which the gentleman had conceived could only be known to himself.
Monsieur de Sartine, having thus excited attention, put this extraordinary question to him—"Sir, are you a man of courage?"
The gentleman, still more astonished at the singularity of such an interrogatory, demanded the reason why he put such a strange question to him, adding at the same time, that no man ever doubted his courage.
Mons. de Sartine, it seems, kept a sharp look out for these democratic vermin: he had complete lists of their whole fraternity in France, and he watched every step they took from one end of the kingdom to the other.
Twenty thousand of these Russians were employed by the philosophical illuminati to regenerate their countrymen.
If these be the sort of nerves that the Aurora boasted of on a late occasion, and I really suspect the young philosopher means no other, God preserve me, and all whom I love, from their regenerating cutouts.
However, be this as it may—as in one of those dreams of philosophy, with which the body politic has been greatly pestered, we have set a wide door open for the reception of strangers of all countries and descriptions, (some of whom are hardly landed before they begin to reform our government, while others resume their old trades of house-breaking and highway-robbery) it will not be amiss to learn from our older states how to manage such gentry, and how to guard our lives and estates from their depredations.
From the New-York Commercial Advertiser.
THE STAND—No. VI.
The inevitable conclusion from the facts which have been presented is, that revolutionary France has been and continues to be governed by a spirit of proselytism, conquest, domination and rapine.
When the wonders achieved by the arms of France are duly considered, the possibility of the overthrow of Great-Britain seems not to be chimerical. If by any of those extraordinary coincidences of circumstances which occasionally decide the fate of empires, the meditated expedition against England shall succeed, or if by the immense expense to which that country is driven, and the derangement of her commerce by the powerful means employed to that end, her affairs shall be thrown into such disorder as may enable France to dictate to her the terms of peace; in either of these unfortunate events, the probability is, that the United States will have to choose between the surrender of their sovereignty, the new modelling of their government according to the fancy of the directory—the emptying of their wealth by contributions into the coffers of the greedy and insatiable monster—and resistance to invasion, in order to compel submission to those ruinous conditions.
In opposition to this, it is suggested that the interest of France, concurring with the difficulty of execution, is a safe-guard against the enterprise. It is asked, what incentives sufficiently potent can stimulate to so unpromising an attempt?
The answer is, the strongest passions of bad hearts—inordinate ambition, the love of domination, that prime characteristic of the despots of France—the spirit of vengeance for the presumption of having thought and acted for ourselves, a spirit which has marked every step of the revolutionary leaders—the fanatical egotism of obliging the rest of the world to adapt their political system to the French standard of perfection—the desire of securing the future control of our affairs by humbling and ruining the independent supporters of their country, and of elevating the partisans and tools of France—the desire of entangling our commerce with preferences and restrictions which would give to her the monopoly—these passions the most impetuous; these motives the most enticing to a crooked policy, are sufficient persuasives to undertake the subjugation of this country.
Added to these primary inducements, the desire of finding an outlet for a part of the vast armies which, on the termination of the European war, are likely to perplex and endanger the men in power, would be an auxiliary motive of great force.
It is too much a part of our temper to indulge an overweening security. At the close of our revolution war, the phantom of perpetual peace danced before the eyes of every body.
There are currents in human affairs, when events, at other times little less than miraculous, are to be considered as natural and simple.
Admit that in our case invasion is upon the whole improbable; yet if there are any circumstances which pronounce that the apprehension of it is not absolutely chimerical, it is the part of wisdom to act as if it was likely to happen.
But what is to be done? Is it not wiser to compound on any terms than to provoke the consequences of resistance?
To do this is dishonor—it is ruin—it is death. Waving other considerations, there can be no reliance on its efficacy.
But in the event supposed, can we oppose with success? There is no event in which we may not look with confidence to a successful resistance.
The question returns, what is to be done? Shall we declare war? No—there are still chances for avoiding a general rupture which ought to be taken.
Our true policy is, in the attitude of calm defiance, to meet the aggressions upon us by proportionate resistance, and to prepare vigorously for further resistance.
in favour of striking out the 5th, 6th and 7th sections. As to the member from Virginia's not understanding him, he did not with that gentleman, but by the committee; for when he was urging arguments in favour of his own motion to strike out the 4th section, that gentleman represented him as arguing against it.
The fifth, sixth and seventh sections were then struck out without opposition.
Mr. SMITH now moved to strike out sixteen (the number of vessels to be employed) in the first section, for the purpose of inserting twelve.
Mr. SEWALL was sorry to differ in opinion from a gentleman whose conduct in joining heartily in effecting measures for the defence of our country, since his conviction from the late dispatches, with respect to the danger of our situation, must have afforded great satisfaction to the public.
Mr. JOSIAH PARKER seconded the motion in favour of twelve vessels, not because he thought sixteen too many, but because he thought it better to agree to such a force as could immediately be got ready.
Mr. BROOKS was in favour of the larger number. He did not think the objections to it well founded.
Mr. GALLATIN was in favour of the smaller number. He did not think they could be employed upon any rational plan as convoys, considering the extent of our coast and tonnage; but, in case of war, they might be used along our coast to drive off privateers.
Mr. J. WILLIAMS was in favour of the amendment, because he thought twelve vessels more than sufficient.
The question was put and carried 49 to 27. [The remainder of this debate to-morrow.]
it so, they had also been told, that the landed interest must be called upon for three, four, or five millions of dollars a year.
It was true that our shipping amounts to about 800,000 tons, or perhaps, deducting for captures, it may be reduced to 700,000, and that our seamen amount to 40 or 50,000,
As to the commerce of this country, he thought it had been extended too far.
Mr. W. asked if the strength of the country did not consist in the number of its inhabitants?
This expensive protection of commerce had long been foreseen, and on that ground the establishment of a Navy had always been opposed;
Mr. MACON said, the present debate was a very uncommon one, for they were all upon one side.
Mr. HARPER had no doubt the landed interest would have sense enough to see that the connection between the commercial and agricultural interests was such, that whatever was paid for the protection of one was paid for the protection of the other.

to invigorate our Treasury by calling into activity the principal untouched resources of revenue—to fortify in earnest our chief seaports—to establish foundries and increase our arsenals—to create a respectable naval force and to raise with the utmost diligence a considerable army. Our merchant vessels ought to be permitted not only to arm themselves but to sink or capture their assailants. Our vessels of war ought to cruise on our coast and serve as convoys to our trade. In doing this they ought also to be authorized not only to sink or capture assailants, but likewise to capture and bring in privateers found hovering within twenty leagues of our coast. For this last measure, precedent, if requisite, is to be found in the conduct of neutral powers on other occasions.
This course, it will be objected, implies a state of war. Let it be so—But it will be a limited and mitigated state of war, to grow into general war or not, at the election of France. What may be that election will probably depend on future and incalculable events. The continuation of success on the part of France, would ensure war. The want of it might facilitate accommodation. There are examples in which states have been for a long time in a state of partial hostility without proceeding to general rupture. The duration of this course of conduct on our part may be restricted to the continuance of the two last decrees of France; that by which the trade of neutrals with the ports of her enemies has been intercepted, and that by which vessels and their cargoes composed in whole or in part of British fabrics are liable to seizure and condemnation.
The declared suspension of our treaties with France is a measure of evident justice and necessity. It is the natural consequence of a total violation on one side. It would be preposterous to be fettered by treaties which are wholly disregarded by the other party. It is essentially our interest to get rid of the guarantee in the treaty of alliance which on the part of France is likely to be henceforth nugatory; on the part of the United States it is a substantial and dangerous stipulation, obliging them in good faith to take part with France in any future, defensive war in which her West-India colonies may be attacked. The confederate convention is likewise a mischievous instrument devised by France in the spirit of extending her influence into other countries, and producing to a certain extent IMPERIUM IN IMPERIO.
It may be happy for the United States that an occasion has been furnished by France in which with good faith they may break thro' these trammels; re-adjusting, when reconciliation shall take place, a basis of concession or intercourse more convenient and more eligible.
The resolution to raise an army, it is to be feared is that one of the measures suggested which will meet with the greatest obstacle—and yet it is the one which ought to unite opinion. Being merely a precaution for internal security, it can in no sense tend to provoke war; and looking to eventual security in a case which if it should happen would threaten our very existence as a nation, it is the most important.
The history of our revolution war is a serious admonition to it. The American cause had nearly been lost for want of creating in the first instance a solid force, commensurate in duration with the war. Immense additional expense and waste and a variety of other evils were incurred which might have been avoided.
Suppose an invasion, and that we are left to depend on militia alone—Can it be doubted, that a rapid and formidable progress would in the first instance be made by the invader? Who can answer what dismay this might inspire—how far it might go to create general panic—to rally under the banners of the enemy the false and the timid? The imagination cannot without alarm anticipate the consequences. Prudence commands that they shall be guarded against. To have a good army on foot will be the best of all precautions to prevent as well as to repel invasion.
The propriety of the measure is so palpable, that it will argue treachery or incapacity in our councils, if it be not adopted. The friends of the government owe it to their own characters to press it; its opposers can give no better proof that they are not abandoned to a foreign power than to concur in it. The public safety will be more indebted to its advocates than to the advocates of any other measure, in proportion as our Independence and Liberty are of more consequence than our trade.
It is the fervent wish of Patriotism that our Councils and nation may be united and resolute. The dearest interests call for it. A great public danger commands it. Every good man will rejoice to embrace the adversary of his former opinions if he will now by candor and energy evince his attachment to his country. Whoever does not do this consigns himself to irrevocable dishonor. But it is not the triumph over a political rival, which the true lover of his country desires—it is the safety and the welfare of that country—and he will gladly share with his bitterest opponent, the glory of defending and preserving her. Americans! be unanimous, be virtuous, be firm, exert your courage, truth in heaven, and nobly defy the enemies both of GOD and MAN! TITUS MANLIUS.

By this day's Mail. NEW-YORK, April 26. ESCAPES. The citizens were alarmed yesterday, about noon, by the ringing of the bells. It proved to be a call to the gaol, which had been broken open by the prisoners, principally debtors, twenty four of whom had escaped.
A circumstance of this kind interests every class of men, we have therefore taken pains to obtain particulars, which are thus stated—
A few moments before twelve, upwards of forty prisoners, came driving down stairs in a body, armed with pistols, which had spring bayonets affixed to them, and clubs. They knocked down the turnkey and assaulted the front inner door, the lock of which they absolutely burst off. Seeing opposition in front of the prison collecting, they flew to the rear of the house, and pried their way through into the yard, firing at every one who opposed them, and forced their way through a crowd of officers and citizens who found it impossible to stem their impetuosity—but, by skill and numbers, the officers and citizens retook ten of them through the fire of all their pistols; not however, without receiving many wounds. The other fourteen made a successful escape: their names are in the Sheriff's advertisement in this paper, by which 200 dollars are offered for their apprehension. Those taken were put in the dungeon.
The officers of the gaol appear to have faithfully performed their duty—what man, unconscious of delinquency, could oppose such a torrent.
Their being armed in such a manner, may be conceived somewhat mysterious—but there could easily have been smuggling in from time to time, by the friends of the prisoners.
Many citizens acquired much credit by their exertions, at the risk of their lives, in aiding the magistrates in this moment of alarm. There are many evidences also of the vigilance of the officers; Mr. William W. Parker, deputy sheriff, took two of the prisoners himself, each armed with pistols: and we are told that this is not the first instance of his exertions in cases of this kind.
It pains us to mention the fate of our worthy fellow-citizen, Mr. Peter Lorillard, tobacconist, in Chatham Street; he received a ball thro' his body, from one of the prisoners, after he had retaken him, and his fate was conceived very dangerous last evening.
One Long, a carman, unfortunately received four wounds in his body and limbs, with buck shot, but they were not conceived dangerous. Three other citizens were slightly wounded. Watson, now in the dungeon was badly wounded, before he resigned. (Argus.)
JAIL - MUTINY. We have to record an extremely unpleasant occurrence of yesterday.
About 12 o'clock, a number of prisoners, some confined for debt, others for forgery and swindling, armed with pistols, &c. made a descent upon the Turnkeys, and with the most undaunted proceedings forced their way through the doors. Having got out, they had to contend with a body of citizens called together by the alarm, and who, to prevent their escape, made use of various means to secure them; and here we are sorry to say, that Mr. Peter Lorillard, a respectable tobacco manufacturer, was shot through the body by one of the escapees and is now expiring. One or two other citizens were slightly wounded; a Mr. Watson, prisoner, dangerously so.
The agitation produced by this affray has rendered it impossible to be particular.
Not more than four or five got off, the rest are in the dungeon. It is not yet ascertained who shot Mr. Lorillard.
Placed as Mr. Hazard, the keeper was, no man could have behaved with more becoming firmness; and since the return of those misguided objects of legal severity, Mr. Hazard's tenderness and humanity has excited even their thanks. [Daily Gaz.]
Extract of a letter from Jeremie, dated March 4. "It is 15 days since the Brigands have been on our territory; they entered by 1 o Quest, where they were well received, leaving 300 killed, and having a great many wounded. Two days afterwards, Dumoulin was attacked by the Brigands at Jacques Thomas; the first shock lasted two hours, when they retired, leaving 83 dead on the field, of which three-fourths were mulattoes; in an hour and a half they returned to the char. e and carried the post, the garrison being obliged to retreat for want of ammunition; we lost 25 men, which is inconsiderable when we consider that 120 men were only there to defend the post against 800—the bravery of the commander, officers and soldiers, cannot be surpassed. Dumoulin was slightly wounded. It is impossible to describe the wisdom and activity of Col. Spencer; he was everywhere in an instant."
BOSTON, April 23. The Sch. Two Friends, Tufton, which failed from hence to Halifax, the 21 st March is lost off Cape Sable. We are very sorry to add to this account the loss of the crew and passengers, 32 in number, five of which we understand Mr. C.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, April 27.
Yesterday, the House of Representatives of the United States went into a committee of the whole on the bill providing for the expenses of the Military Establishment for the year 1795. The several items in the bill were generally filed agreeably to the estimate of the Secretary of War, without debate, except in the case of the Quarter Master's Department. It was proposed by Mr. Harper to fill this blank with 200,000 dollars; by Mr. Gallatin with 150,000. The first was negatived, and the latter carried. The committee of the whole went through the bill, the house took up the amendments, agreed to them, and ordered the bill to be engrossed for a third reading.
In the course of the sitting, Mr. Thomas presented a petition from 200 inhabitants of this city and liberties, expressive of their approbation of the conduct of the Executive in its negotiations with France, and a determination to support every measure which may be thought necessary by the constituted authorities, for the support of our government, constitution and independence. A very large body of merchants and others attended the house with this petition.
The Speaker said he had received a letter this morning, signed Thomas Paine, which he was desired to lay before the house. It was accordingly read. It stated, that when he (Mr. Paine) had concluded the late treaty with the Spanish government, the Spanish Minister, the Prince of Peace, informed him the presents usually given in such cases would be prepared for him, and that also when he took leave of the British Court the like information was given to him by the Minister there. To both which he replied, that the constitution of the United States forbade its ministers from receiving any presents from a foreign Prince or State, without the consent of Congress; that in due time he would ask that consent, and accordingly this letter was for the determination of Congress. It was moved by Mr. Rutledge to refer this letter to a select committee; Mr. Macon wished it to go to a committee of the whole house. After some observations, the latter motion was negatived, and the former carried.

Married on Monday evening last, by the Rev. M. I. Rhee, Mr. David Ellis, Merchant, to Miss Martha Brown, both of Southwark.
By the arrival of the ship Argus, capt. Black at New-York, 11 days from New Orleans, we learn—
That on the 23 rd March the Spanish troops evacuated the Walnut Hills.
On the 30 th instant Guion hoisted the American flag on the fort at the Natchez.
On the 2 nd April major Kerley arrived from the Chickasaw Bluff.
The works on Walnut Hill have not been burnt by the Indians as reported.
Nothing can be more unequivocal than the patriotic expression of the sentiment of the citizens of Philadelphia on the present situation of our country, and their approbation of the measures of the government. It has been expressed, Tit. By an address signed by FIVE HUNDRED Merchants; 2 nd . by the address of the Mayor and Aldermen and the Select and Common Councils in their corporate capacity; 3 rd . by the memorial of the citizens at large, signed by about FIVE THOUSAND, although the Quakers, who are all decided friends of the Government, declined signing on account, not of the general tenor or intention of the things, but of some expressions rather strong for the religious and peaceable tenets of that sect.
VALERIUS. It is to be remarked that in the infamous Letter addressed to the President, in yesterday's Aurora under the signature of Valerius, a complete sentence is taken from the ASSASSIN FELTON's letter to the Duke of Buckingham, previous to his murder. We see what class of authors these fellows consult and what models they choose for imitation.
EXTRACT OF LYING. "Firm—united—let us be," &c.
Bache, finding this sentiment of union and patriotism rapidly spreading throughout the United States, and cementing the bond of men of all parties in one common bond of interest and brotherhood, attacks it with wickedness and virulence wherever he finds it. The long song with the enthusiastic applause of every American at the Theatre on Wednesday last, has excited his keenest resentment and called for an exertion of his abandoned Lying faculty. I shall point out a few of the most glaring falsehoods in his account of this song and its reception, leaving the smaller ones as undeserving of censure. When you find a little lie or a harmless one in the Aurora, praise it, as it is the nearest approach to truth that can be expected from that quarter, and is entitled to the same kind of pre-eminence that a simple pick pocket would have among a gang of cut throats and assassins.
But to the Aurora—"For some days past" (says Bache) "the Anglo-monarchical Tory party (to wit, the opposers of French tribute and submission) "have appeared at the Theatre in full triumph, and the President's March and other Aristocratic tunes" (to wit, Yankee Doodle and Stony Point) "have been loudly vociferated for and vehemently applauded" and long may they be so. He says "the admirers of British tyranny assembled on Wednesday evening, in consequence of the Managers having announced in the Bills of the day that there would be given a Patriotic Song to the tune of the President's March."—A LIE—The Managers announced no such thing neither in the Bills of the day nor any where else. "When the wished for song came—which contained the most ridiculous bombast, the vilest adulation to Anglo Monarchical party."—A LIE—The song is now before the public and they will see that there is not throughout, a single allusion to any party or any party principle or question. It contains general ex-
pressions of love and attachment to our country and liberties, without reproach to any foreign nation. It applauds the warthies who fought and bled for American freedom, (whom I suppose Bache calls the Anglo-monarchical party) without censure or abuse of any body. It contains a fervent wish of unanimity, of a cordial and brotherly coalition of all good men of all parties. It is this wish, joined with the prospect we now have of this unanimity, that strikes the pangs of hell through Bache and his associates in French corruption, & blasts the vile projects they have so long fostered with an adder's vigilance and care. It is this glorious, happy prospect which invigorates the wings of the AMERICAN EAGLE, and promises it a flight far above the efforts of foreign influence and corruption, or domestic faction and treason. But the two Presidents are spoken of with respect, and this offends the delicacy of Bache. And if I shall ever see the day when my countrymen shall forget the services of a WASHINGTON and an ADAMS, when the recollection and applause of them shall be unwelcome to their ears, I shall see the day when American virtue and gratitude are buried and extinct. Bache goes on to say that the Anglo-monarchical party "in the fury of their exultation, threatened to throw over or otherwise ill treat every person who did not join heartily in the applause."—A LIE—and every person at the theatre, and Bache himself was there, knows it to be so. He then goes on to abuse the managers, and asked why the orchestra refused to play Ca Ira when repeatedly called for—a LIE—one or two weak and solitary voices, it is true, one of which was probably Bache, and the other his friend and companion Callender, called once or twice in a feeble tone for Ca Ira , but were instantly overwhelmed with loud and irresistible huzzas, and a general call for Stony Point , which was played.
I was about to remark many other falsehoods in this paltry effort of malice and disappointment, but I have already spent more time on the wretch, than he deserves. He concludes by inviting the republican party if they go again to this temple of aristocracy, "at least to go in a party sufficiently strong to protect themselves from outrage, from insult and from degradation." Infamous incendiary, who thus endeavors to excite tumult and riot in a place of public amusement that might end with the most serious consequences. Outrage or insult have never been offered to any body there; and I am sure no AMERICAN REPUBLICAN will feel degradation from an American Song that interferes with no party, but that, if such a one there is, they hate American independence, and would prostrate us at the feet of France, paying tribute for our existence, and licking the feet that tread on us.
AN AMERICAN. Quere: Why did Bache, on Wednesday evening after the play was over, send his compliments to Mr. Fox, and request a copy of this vile Anglo-monarchical Song?
Extra of a letter from Boston, dated 22 nd April, 1798.
"As to our political appearance we have not looked or felt so well for two years back. Since the communications have been made public, there seems to be but one sentiment in this quarter. We may possibly have ten or a dozen headstrong fools, or bribed knaves that may yet justify one of the most corrupt, and abandoned governments, if it may be called a government, that ever existed. But these Tools and Knaves at present have judgment enough to keep out of sight."

PROPOSES TO PRINT BY SUBSCRIPTION, The Philadelphia Price Current, And Market Day Advertiser.
To be published every Wednesday and Saturday morning, on the following conditions. It will be printed on four pages quarto. It will contain the Prices Current (wholesale) at Philadelphia, with the duties on each article—The Prices Current at Boston, New-York, Charleston, and other parts of the United States, with the Prices Current at London, the West Indies and elsewhere as often as they can be had accurate and to be relied on. The rates of insurance—the price of stocks—course of exchange, &c. &c. Likewise a regular account of entries, inward and outward—with such marine and other intelligence as shall be thought useful and important—and the remainder of the paper will be appropriated to advertisements.
