PROPOSAL
BY BENJAMIN DAVIES. For publishing by subscription, a periodical work to be entitled The Philadelphia Magazine and Review; or, Monthly Repository of Information and Amusement.
AFTER the many fruitless attempts, which have been made to establish a publication of this kind in Philadelphia, the proposals now submitted, will, perhaps, at first sight, appear to be nothing more than soliciting disapprobation. When, however, we observe an eager fear after knowledge spreading through all parts of our country, and when we consider, that, in these pursuits, Magazines and Reviews are of universally-admitted utility, we are led to be- lieve, that former undertakings in this way have failed from some other cause than the want of discernment or liberality in those, to whom the Editors looked up for support.
From causes, which are too evident to need enumerating here, America is, and long must be beholden in a very considerable degree, to the presses of Great Britain. The literature of the two countries is, indeed, a sort of common stock; but, for one publication of ours, we re- ceive, at least five hundred in return. While this is the case, it is extreme folly in the publish- er of a periodical work, to reject, from a host of spurious patriotism, all information, however useful, and all amusement, however delightful, merely because it is not of native production. Obvious, however, as the justice of these re- marks must appear, we have very little doubt in our minds, that an obstinate adherence to a con- trary notion has been the principal cause of the want of success, experienced by those who have gone before us.
Reason and interest unite in dictating to us a different plan. The Miscellaneous part , and principal part, therefore, of the Philadelphia Magazine , will consist of choice selections from the newest publications of merit, that shall ap- pear in Europe; but, particularly from the va- rious periodical works published in Great Bri- tain, of which we have taken care to insure the very earliest supply. At the same time, we trust it is unnecessary to say, that we shall always re- ceive with pleasure any original productions of genius, or piece of prose, of our own country; and we flatter ourselves with the hope of being often favoured with the agreeable task of giving to such productions merited praise and exten- sive publicity.
In selecting and arranging these materials, to suit the various tastes of our readers, we are less sure how difficult a task we have undertaken. To please all, we do not expect; it would be a vain presumption. But we are resolved to give offence to none, so far as conflicts with the su- perior respect we owe to the sacred cause of reli- gion, morality, and social order. In these are involved the glory and welfare of our country, and they will always be the Polar-star, that shall guide our labors.
The Miscellaneous part will be followed by a month- ly Summary of News and politics , foreign as well as domestic; under which head will be comprised a succinct account of the Proceedings of the General and State Legislatures , and the titles, at least, of all the laws they shall enact.
The next part of our undertaking, is a Re- view , of the principal works of note published in Great Britain. For this we must necessarily have recourse to the Reviews of that country. Though it will be impossible for us to furnish as complete an analysis as that from which we shall take our materials, we shall not fail to give such an account of every publication reviewed in that country, as will enable our readers information sufficient to enable them to avail themselves at a very early stage, of every valuable perform- ance that shall appear. The advantages arising from such information are evident. For want of it our professional men and men of taste are always kept a year or two in the rear of those of Great Britain. We do not hear of a work till a long time after it is published, and many very valuable ones we never hear of at all. All the various injuries and privations we suffer from this source will, we flatter ourselves, be entirely done away by a steady adherence to our plan.
To that of foreign, will be added a Review of Domestic Publications ; and here, we must con- fess, that we feel some difficulty, because the execution of the task must depend, in a great measure, upon the abilities of ourselves. How- ever, with a firm resolution to be guided by de- cency, candour and truth, and to take genius and virtue by the hand, whenever, and in what- ever garb, we may find them; with no wish to wound the feelings of any but the wicked, and with the most sincere desire of seeing our coun- trymen shine in every department of literature, we doubt not, that we shall be able to acquit ourselves to the satisfaction of all those who have the good-nature fairly to appreciate our motives, and the justice to make allowance for human imperfections.
The work will close with a monthly record of Marriages, Births, Deaths, Promotions , and other casual incidents.
As to what concerns the politics of this coun- try or of Europe, at this momentous period, we shall always view with jealousy every measure of the French Government, and it's ever active emissaries; and it is in this respect some men con- sider us as partial or prejudiced, we shall submit to their censure. For so full is our conviction that the war, which now desolates Europe, and menaces this country, is a war of ambition and plunder, on the part of France, that nothing can induce us to conceal our sentiments, or to withhold the small assistance that we can con- tribute to oppose them. For this reason we in- tend to devote a page or two of every number to historical facts, anecdotes, and remarks on
the Politics of France, from the age of Louis the Fourteenth to the present more alarming e- poch. For more than a century past has that refined and ambitious people been a volcano in the centre of Europe, discharging the surround- ing States by its intrigues, and once in every eight or ten years overwhelming its most fertile countries with devastation and carnage.
Indeed it is more than eighteen hundred years since the great Roman Orator thought it his duty to warn his countrymen against that con- quered and those principles, for which the present race of Gauls are so justly to be dreaded as their savaged ancestors: "Galli fidem non habendam, hominibus leviibus, perfidis, et in ipsos Deos im- mortales impis."
By the proper management of this topic our countrymen will be able to see the real character of the nation, which so formerly considered as their friends, but now more justly censure as their most dangerous enemies; and they will be better prepared to appreciate any overtures, that may be made hereafter, for the restoration of peace and amity. In the execution of this part of our design, par- ticularly "we look with confidence for the support and assistance of all persons who shall consider our motives as laudable, and therefore with to con- tribute to the success of our design; of all who think, with us, that the press has been too long an engine of destruction, and that it ought, at length to be rendered a means of preservation, and an in- strument of protection."
"CREDO. Literature, well or ill conducted, is the great engine by which I am fully persuaded, all ci- vilized States must ultimately be supported or overthrown."
The CONDITIONS.
This work will be published in Monthly Numbers; and if a moderate encouragement is given the first number will appear on the first day of Feb- ruary next.

PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27.
THE FOLLOWING,
Are the Observations made by Mr. Gordon, on the proposition to instruct the Committee of Managers of the Impeachment of Wil- iam Blount, to request of the Senate, that the attendance of said Blount might be com- pelled.
MR. GORDON said, Gentlemen seemed to have taken up an idea that the object of the resolution was to declare to the Senate what mode ought to be pursued by them with respect to the prosecution which is be- fore them, and not whether this house would apply to the Senate to take further steps for the appearance of Mr. Blount. He believed there was a great difference between the two objects; for he did not think, that by the latter, the house proposed to deter- mine what belongs to the constitutional power of the Senate.
In what situation is this business before the Senate? The people of the United States have charged Mr. Blount with high crimes and misdemeanors against the United States. They have requested that steps might be taken to bring him before the Senate. The Sen- ate have complied with this request, and have informed this house, that he has not appeared. What is to be the next step? Ought not this house as prosecutor to come forward and request that further steps may be taken to bring this man before them that he may be prosecuted to effect? What is the practice at common law, when a process has failed to produce its object? When a Cap- ias has been sued out to apprehend a criminal and it has not been served, is not the next step to be taken by the prosecutor? There is, therefore, said he, a peculiar propriety in the House going on to request that a personal attendance may be compelled. This, instead of dictating to the Senate, would be proceed- ing in the usual and ordinary course of things.
The question, Mr. G. said, appeared to be whether or not this is a criminal prosecution. If it be a criminal prosecution, all admit that a personal appearance of the accused is neces- sary at his trial. But it is denied that it is a criminal prosecution, and it is therefore contended that a different course may be had.
What, said he, is a criminal prosecution? It is charge by the government against a citizen for violating a law or laws made for secur- ing the peace, welfare, or interest of the community, and prosecuted before a tribunal competent to decide upon the same. Here, then is a charge by the United States against a citizen, this charge consists of sundry high crimes and misdemeanors; of offences against the laws of the United States, directly tend- ing to involve their peace, interest and wel- fare. This offence is prosecuted before a tri- bunal competent to make the enquiry and pronounce a judgment thereon. The pro- secution has, therefore, every requisite of a criminal process.
This definition of a criminal process, Mr. G. said, would not be called in question. Is there not, then, a charge of a criminal na- ture? It is stated to be for high crimes and misdemeanors. Is it not brought before a competent tribunal? It certainly is. Can- not the Senate proceed to judgment upon it; they are bound by the Constitution to do so. There is, therefore, every requisite which con- stitutes a criminal prosecution. Will it still be said that this is a civil and not a criminal process. If so, it must be maintained that it is the judgment and not the offence, which constitutes a criminal prosecution. Admit- ting that the criminal code is entirely al- tered; that for all offences against the laws of the United States, no other judgment shall be rendered than that of disqualification for office; suppose that by the common law, a judgment never operated against a person, but only against his estate; it would follow, that neither by the laws of the United States nor at common law, could there be any such thing as criminal jurisdiction. Will it be said that the United States could not so frame their laws as to exclude any punishment of the person; and yet if this should take place, according to the ideas of Gentlemen, our criminal law would be no more. But, said Mr. G. is not the disqualification to hold an office under the United States, or a re- moval from one, a punishment? If a man hold an office during good behaviour, it is a freehold; and shall it be said, when a man forfeits a freehold, and is divested of it, he is not punished? Certainly not. Another objection has been made and almost every ob- jection is resolved into this, viz. that the proposed application involves inconvenience and a procrastination of the trial. The gen- tleman from Virginia has said that it might entirely frustrate the impeachment, and pre- vent a judgment from being obtained. This declaration, he said, must have been made without consideration, because if the present laws are not sufficient for the purpose, it could not be said that more efficient provisions could not be made. This remark he illus- trated by a reference to the law establishing the judiciary. Mr. G. denied that there is any analogy between this case and a suit in rem in the civil law, and that the argument used by the gentleman from Connecticut respecting the admission of bail in certain cases, instead of operating in favor of, would operate a- gainst the opinion which that gentleman had maintained. The same gentleman had main- tained that the constitution of the United States had in contradistinction from every other system of laws, regarded public detrac- tion and exile from all public stations, as the highest punishment that could be inflicted, and yet this is effected by a procedure not criminal. This sort of argument, Mr. G. said, produces a strange assembly of ideas. Another gentleman had said that the object of an indictment was to secure the community from the pernicious effects of a man's crimes. And, said Mr. G. are not those effects likely to be much greater from the re-election of a man of infamous charac-
ter to an important office under the govern- ment than could possibly arise from a simple breach of the peace, a case of assault and bat- tery only.
Mr. G. stated another consequence which would flow from deviating from the com- mon law proceedings, and allowing accused persons to appear by attorney? A confes- sion conclusive upon the principal, as if made personally by himself. If therefore there be an appearance by attorney on an im- peachment, the plea of guilty made by the attorney will be equally binding on his prin- cipal as if made by him in person. Suppose then an individual arraigned before the Sen- ate for high treason; that he wishes to ap- pear by attorney and is allowed to do so; that the attorney appears and confesses his client to be guilty. He wishes to know indictment for the same treason, be conclu- sive evidence and whether the accused would not upon the production of this evidence as a record, be chopped to say he was not guilty. If he knew anything about the opera- tion of a plea or confession in a court of plea, the party could not contradict this record, so that the life of an innocent person might possibly be in the power of an attorney in fact never employed by him.
Again, in civil suits, if a man shall ap- pear for another without authority, and such cases have happened, the person aggrieved has an adequate mode of redress: But could one, where any attorney appearing without authority, may be the instrument by which a man shall be, for ever rendered infamous and incapable of holding any future office under the United States? No compensation could be recovered, no sum of money could be adequate with such an injury. Mr. G. said he might go on to point out a variety of other cases in which an appearance by attorney might be attended with bad effects, but those he had mentioned, he supposed would be sufficient. Another consideration occurred to him. The constitution speaking of the judgment to be awarded on a conviction upon an impeachment, has limited the powers of the court, but has not defined what other judgment may be awarded, which shall fall short of the one there specified.
A case may be supposed in which the Sen- ate may determine that either a removal from office, or a disqualification, will be too severe a judgment for the offences which may be proved; they might be of opinion, that a judgment of censure would be an ade- quate punishment; but under such circum- stances, surely the presence of the person would be indispensable.
He hoped, therefore, the resolution would be agreed to, and if it should be found e- ventually necessary, a law would be passed to make the necessary provisions.
THE FOLLOWING
PETITION
Is now handing about for the signatures of the citizens.
To the SENATE and House of Represen- tatives of the Commonwealth of Penn- sylvania, in

again enjoy a permanent state of health and prosperity. Far be it from us to petition or desire that the Legislature should, in the smallest degree, interfere with the rights of conscience, to properly secure to every individual by the constitutions of Pennsylvania and of the United States: But, within constitutional limits and just bounds of legislative authority, there are certain great and leading principles of moral and religious obligation, which the very existence of conscience, or a moral faculty in the human mind, must suppose, and a regard to which, not only the peace, order and happiness, but the very existence of civil society, indispensably requires. The enforcement of a sacred regard to these principles, both by the influence of their own example, and by enacting and executing suitable laws for the purpose, your petitioners conceive to be not merely within the province of legislators and magistrates, but among their most important and indispensable duties. With this impression we do earnestly intreat, that the Legislature of Pennsylvania would speedily adopt the most efficient measures for suppressing all those acts of atrocious wickedness, which have too long abounded in the midst of us; and especially of slopping, as far as possible, the sources of that profane debauchery, dissoluteness of manners, and criminal idleness, which both from their natural tendency, and by provoking the righteous judgments of a Holy God, threaten us with destruction.
Your petitioners are especially desirous in this address of calling the attention of the Legislature, fearfully and seriously, to the passing of an act more effectually and generally to provide for the suppression of vice and immorality; a draft of which was made at their former sessions, and which, after being read and printed, was left, as your petitioners have been informed, on the files of the House of Representatives. And your petitioners are highly solicitous, that in this act the most effective provision may be made to ensure its execution, by those whose duty it shall be to enforce it; because the inexecution of laws of this description is among the weightiest grievances which your petitioners have to deplore; and, as they believe, is among the most crying sins with which our city and land are chargeable.
VERGENNES, December 13. Lyon has conceived an idea that the federal constitution would free him from arrest, while on his way to Congress. Accordingly, he goes to the further part of his prison, advances towards the door, calls on people to witness that he is on his way to Congress, and when he has proceeded to the door exclaims vociferously that he is arrested! Some of his adherents, in the first part of the time of his imprisonment, appeared very much irritated; but now they say, Lyon chose to go to goal; for, when his time of confinement is expired, he intends to sue the United States for false imprisonment, and will recover very heavy damages!!

To the REGIMENTAL SURGEON.
IN your second publication in the Gazette of the United States, last Saturday, you assert that "the first cases" of the late fever "were traced to the ship Deborah , which arrived at Philadelphia on the 18th July, on board of which several persons died during her passage from Jamaica to this port, and one of her crew at the Marine Hospital soon after her arrival."
That the fever was in various parts of Philadelphia before the arrival of the Deborah , appears from the letter of the Academy of Medicine, to Governor Mifflin, published a few days since. In that letter the names and places of abode of eight persons are given, who had the disease before the arrival of the Deborah .
You say "while the Deborah was performing quarantine, Alexander Phillips acknowledged to Mr. Purdon and Mr. Towne, that he brought up a sick man from on board a vessel lying at the fort." Mr. Milnor informed Mr. Purdon, that Phillips told him he brought a man from the Deborah the night of her quarantine, who was taken sick on the 2d, and died on the 6th August.
Without dwelling upon the folly evinced by Phillips, in publishing a story which he well knew would occasion his being heavily fined, I will just mention that Mr. Milnor denies having ever made the assertion above related on his authority.
It was fully ascertained by the Board of Health, that the man by name Ralston, who is said to have worked on board the Deborah , and died very yellow on the 5th day from the attack, had been taking Mercury for upwards of five weeks before, and when very feeble had gone to work, but was obliged to leave off; and that the cause of his fever was the labor being disproportioned to his strength, and a violent cold taken by chopping wood during a rain, after he came home.
The carpenter attended by Dr. Currie at A. Thompson's, in Water, below Walnut-street, declared to Mr. T. that he had not been more than five minutes on the gunnel of the Deborah , and if that ship had been as full of contagion as a slave ship, he could not have scarcely taken a dose from this short exposure in the open air.
"Alexander Morrison, who is said to have died in the same house, on the 28th July, after having appeared like one intoxicated for two days," was declared by his physician to the coroner, to have died of the "cramp in his stomach." The fact was, that the man had been actually stupified with liquor during the above period, as Mr. Thompson affirms. That he did not die of the fever, will appear from the coroner's inquest.
You say that "David Sparks affirms that Phillips got liquor from him before the Deborah came up, and told him it was to take with him, as he was going to bring up one of his old lodgers from the Deborah ."
Mr. Sparks positively denies ever having said that Phillips declared his intention of bringing up a person from the ship. And that Phillips did not go on board, appears from the declaration of Mrs. Doyle, his neighbour, who says, that Phillips asked her, when he was going down, whether she would not send some liquor to a friend on board; to which she replied, that she would not; and when Phillips returned, he told her that he had been refused permission to go on board; so careful was the captain to avoid all communication with the city while his ship was in quarantine. The contradiction between the dates, proves the inaccuracy of your statement. Phillips purchased the liquor to take with him on the 10th July—and you say he went down and brought up the sick man the day before the expiration of the Deborah 's quarantine, which happened on the 18th July!! It is, moreover, improbable that Phillips was on board, because the captain of the Deborah , Mr. Edward Yard, having been in the West-India trade several years from this port, knows that a heavy penalty attends the granting permission to any one to come on board during quarantine; but I may further mention, that the widow of A. Phillips, is willing to be qualified that her husband never brought up any sick person from the Deborah . Abraham Smith, who went with Phillips down to the Deborah , will also prove that he never went on board that vessel.
You say that "A. Thompson and John Doyle, neighbors to Phillips, assert that he brought a sick sailor from the Deborah to his house." Both these men declare, they never did assert the fact from their own knowledge.
The above facts tend strongly to disprove the assertion, that Phillips brought up three men from the Deborah . Moreover, none of the persons said to have taken the disease from going on board the Deborah , communicated it to those in the same house with them; a circumstance which is decisive in its authority, that no human contagion was derived from that vessel by those who are supposed first to have taken ill by being on board of her.
Finally, admitting the fact that Phillips brought up three men, or twenty men, all
ill of the yellow fever,—the origin of the fever cannot be ascribed, by any reasonable person, to the contagion communicated by them, when it is considered that the most indubitable evidence has been offered to the Legislature, that eight strongly marked cases of the disease occurred in various parts of the city before the Deborah arrived even in the Delaware.
DETECTOR.
Dr. James Mease.
SIR, On an inquest taken on the body of Alexander Morrison on the 29th of July 1798, in Water near Walnut-street; it was the opinion of the jurors from the evidence, also corroborated by a physician whose name or person I do not recollect, that he came to his death by too free a use of spirituous liquors and the heat of the weather, which produced the cramp that occasioned his death.
JOHN LEACOCK.
MR. FENNO.
In your paper of last Saturday it is asserted upon my authority, that the late Mr. Phillips brought up a sick man from the Deborah . I never did assert the fact from my own knowledge, nor ever mentioned it as a common report. On the contrary, Mr. Phillips told me that he had not been admitted on board, and that it was well I did not send some articles to a friend in the ship by him, for that reason.
I am, Sir,
Yours,
JOHN DOYLE.
December 24:
MR. FENNO.
IN your paper of last Saturday I observe the following paragraph in a piece respecting the origin of the late fever, viz. "Mr. I. Milnor informed Mr. Purdon that Phillips told him that he told him he brought a man from the Deborah the last night of her quarantine, who was taken sick on the 2d and died on the 5th of August."
This statement is not accurate. In a conversation with Mr. Purdon at the Spread Eagle, on the Lancaster Road, on the subject of the Fever, during its prevalence, I mentioned to him that I understood it could be proved from the confession of Phillips himself, that he brought up a man from the Deborah , but I did not assert the fact upon the authority of Phillips, for I never exchanged a word with him in my life; I did not even know him—what I told Mr. Purdon was founded upon a conversation with Mr. R. Jackson, one of the Inspectors of the Customs, a short time before, who mentioned the above in the Surveyor's Office. Upon since applying to Mr. Jackson upon this subject he states that Mr. Purdon told him that Phillips had declared to him that he brought up three men from the Deborah previous to her arrival at the Fort.
I do not wish to insinuate that Mr. Purdon intentionally misrepresented my information; I have no doubt that he related the fact agreeable to the impression made upon his mind, but the above is the exact statement I made to him, in the course of a very short conversation, while my horse and chair were getting ready.
I am, Sir, yours,
I. MILNOR.
December 24, 1798.
MR. FENNO.
OBSERVING in your paper of last Saturday the following assertion, "Atcheson Thompson and John Doyle, neighbours to Alexander Phillips, also assert, that he brought a sick sailor from the Deborah to his house;"—Justice to myself obliges me to declare that I never asserted the fact, from my own knowledge, and if I ever did mention the circumstance, it was merely as common report. And as for Alexander Morrison who died suddenly, he was only two days in my house—he came from New-York in a ship called the Hero ; and as for the carpenter, he came in the ship John , belonging to Mr. John Donaldson, four weeks before the Deborah arrived, and he never was on board the Deborah more than five minutes, and that was before her hatchets were broken open, and then he only stood upon her gunwale.
ATCHESON THOMPSON.
December 24.
MR. FENNO.
I must beg you to correct a mistake committed in your paper of Saturday, said to be an assertion of mine, as I never said that Mr. Phillips told me he was going to bring up one of his lodgers; but all that I remember that passed between Mr. Phillips and me was on the 10th day of July, when Mr. Phillips got some liquors from me, and said he was going down to the ship Deborah , that there were some of his lodgers on board. I asked Mr. Phillips if he thought he would be allowed to go on board, he said that if he was not, he would try to send the liquors to the poor fellows.
DAVID SPARKS.
December 24.
MR. FENNO.
The very judicious observations of a writer in your paper on the tenor of the Aurora advertisements, accounts also for an odd circumstance which occurred a few days since. Upon an order for the publication of a Bankrupt's notice, application was made to the court, to point out some medium of publication. "Extremely well thought of," said his honor; "it is highly proper that the court should direct in such a case; suppose we say Claypoole's, Bradford's or—or—the Aurora ."
As his honor the chief justice is a man, the meanest of whose actions is ever distinguished by strict propriety, there can be no doubt, that the reflections of your correspondent occurred to him; and it must on all hands be allowed "highly proper" that those who find themselves already bankrupted by Jacobinism, can no where else so appropriately figure, as in a Gazette, the principles of which tend to bankrupt the whole community.
SIR, The fellow who was arrested in the Northern Liberties for traducing the President, owed his arrest to some of the members of that spirited and patriotic body of men the Potters', or first Troop of Volunteer Cavalry,—and they should have credit for it.
Your humble servant.
We hear, a negro, servant to the Honorable Thomas McKean, Doctor of Laws, was within some weeks last past, safely delivered of a son and heir—who with the mother is likely to do well. And further we learn, that the little infant, having been christened by the surname of Buonaparte , is become a great favourite.
A good Democrat in Southwark lately christened his child Buonaparte . There was punch, and there was wine, and there was plumb-pudding, and every thing that's good, offered up in abundance to the crowd of neighbours assembled at the solemnity of Little Boney Part's sprinkling. Soon came the news that Heaven had length frowned on the bold murderer, and that his fortune and of course his fame were on the wane. The sickle parent actually revealed the deed, and thus saved his infant from lugging thro' life a load of mockery and ridicule.
Communications.
The character of the President is daily rising in dignity and greatness. His last address to Congress is full of wisdom and virtue. It discovers a fixed determination to maintain the honor of his country, and oppose calm dignity to the empty threats, and vile accusations of the French regents. What a contrast does the conduct of the American and French Executives exhibit to the world—the historian will speak of the mildness, the virtue, and the forbearance of the one; and of the avarice, the rapacity, and the meanness of the other. But let it not be supposed that the foreign language which the American government so long employed proceeded from pusillanimity or fear. No. It was the consequence of the distracted state of the public mind, of the violent opposition to strong measures in the House of Representatives, of a virtuous resolution in the Chief Magistrate to exhaust all the sources of conciliation before an appeal should be made to the sword. The French rulers have, at length, violated the last principles of decency, and the American government no longer uses the language of affection and friendship. Let that language be discarded until the miserable people of France are relieved from the tyranny under which they groan, and are governed by honest men. The only object of the directory is to deceive and destroy. They may vary their means, but their end is always the same.
The President gives it as his solemn opinion that vigorous preparations for war are indispensable; and this opinion he founds, in a great measure, on the perfidy which France has displayed in her conduct towards the nations of Europe. At the same time, he says that the sacred rights of embassy shall be respected, and that a disposition on the part of France to make reparation for past injuries, and to do justice in future will remove every obstacle to a friendly intercourse between the two countries.
UNITED STATES vs. RANDOLPH.
This cause has at length been fully argued on both sides, to the joy of all true believers in the pure principles of Jacobinism. Judgment is still suspended. If any thing could render the character of the ex-secretary more transparent, than has been effected by his own extraordinary, delicate, and sublime narratives; it surely received the most brilliant polish from the subtle and refined arguments of his liberal council, notwithstanding the frequent and irritating interruptions by that creature of power, the Attorney for the United States, in consequence of the talents of the witty Mr. W. and the found logic of the serious General, aided by the conclusive testimony of the narrative alone, the cause of Jacobinism will triumph. The Attorney, it is true, produced volumes of documents which were filed vouchers; but it was evident from the first blush of them that they were fabricated by old Tim, and his coadjutors in political iniquity. Oliver and Co. The worst that could be made of the whole affair was, that Mr. R. had injured Mr. Scott, by an attempt to serve his old friend Morris. Mr. R. is known to all to be a good lawyer, and a cunning one too; but he has unfortunately (for lawyers at least) opened the eyes of other people, by showing them an easier way to pay debts than the old fashioned one of pone dulum , and a I am rather in the vocation myself, saith I, I shall lose not a moment to pay off all my old scores. I have an uncle in London too; and as Mr. W. has maintained, it is only necessary to prove he is able, and then my bill duly drawn and endorsed.—By Heavens! this is too good—I shall soon be able to look my creditors in the face, and keep my carriage, &c. &c. Huzzah for Jacobinism! Huzzah for the ex-secretary! But hold! I have heard it whispered that Capt. Hans Hessel is still living—that he is jealous of his honor, and that he certainly will return to America, and deny having received any money even for medals!!

CONGRESS.
Yesterday, in the House of Representatives of the United States, the speaker laid before the house a letter from the Secretary of the Navy, communicating a report of the vessels of war employed in, and preparing for the service of the United States, made in pursuance of a resolution of this house, of the 18th inst. This communication was referred to the Committee on the subject of the Navy, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Griswold laid on the table, the following resolution; viz:—
Resolved,
"That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of amending the act, entitled "An Act in addition to the act, entitled An Act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States," so far as to extend the penalties, if need be, to all persons citizens of the United States, who shall usurp the Executive authority of this government, by commencing or carrying on correspondence with the government of any foreign Prince or State, relating to controversies or disputes which do or shall exist between such Prince or State and the United States."
The house then took up, in a committee of the whole, and went thro' the bill for establishing a uniform system of Bankruptcy, after which Mr. Otis proposed to amend the tenth section, by offering a substitute; upon which the committee rose, without taking a question.
Mr. Walm presented a petition from the merchants and traders of Philadelphia, praying that the act prohibiting intercourse with France may be so modified, as not to prevent their taking means to recover debts due in France and her colonies, is—This petition was referred to the committee to whom was committed that part of the President's speech which relates to extending and invigorating our measures of defence.
In Committee of the whole, the house agreed to the bill respecting balances due from certain states—which was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
The bill for taking an enumeration of the inhabitants of the U. S. after making a few amendments, was also agreed to, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.

A CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. JOHN A. SHAEFFER, of Philadelphia, who has for a few years past been in the southern States, has had the effrontery to draw several Bills of Ex- change on Timothy Pickering, Esq. Secretary of State, and myself, and by that means has defrauded a number of persons of their money, deceiving them by an exhibition of letters and papers with the names affixed of divers public characters and rep- utable merchants highly recommendatory of said Shaeffer; to one of these papers I find my name subscribed, but I do not know the man; these are villainous forgeries! To prevent further imposition, I have to request the printers of New-Jersey in the United States to publish this for the benefit of their fellow-citizens.

THIS DAY PUBLISHED, By WILLIAM YOUNG, Corner of Chestnut and Second-Street, JOAN OF ARC, An Epic Poem, By RICHARD SOUTH, Esq. "WE do not hesitate to declare our opinion that the poetical powers displayed in it are of a very superior kind. Conceptions more lofty and daring, sentiments more commanding, and lan- guage more energetic, will not easily be found— as the glow of feelings and genius animates the whole. The language is, for the most part, most harmonious, and not unfrequently, it has a strong resemblance to that of Milton; and not unfrequently, it has a strong polish of Shakespeare." Monthly Review, vol. 19, p. 351.
A HISTORY, OR ANECDOTES OF THE REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA, IN THE YEAR 1762. Translated from the French of M. de Rulhiere. With an elegant Head of the late Empress.

"We shall only add, that we have seldom met with more interesting original anecdotes, than those that are contained in the little work which we have now reviewed."
