BROTHER JONATHAN'S NEW SONG. I WONDER what the matter means, A coming of such capers; The Parson says the French are mad, He read it in the papers. HORUS. Heigh ho! Billy Bow, I b'lieve the war's a comin'; 'N if it does, I'll get a gun Soon as I hear them drummin'. He says as how they steal our ships, Wherever they can get 'em; But 'fars if I was one o' the folks, I guess I'd shoot and hit 'em. Heigh ho! Billy Bow, &c. An' father says they told him prez, When he was down to Boston, They took a swinging fight of goods; Now I forget the cost of 'em. Heigh ho! Billy Bow, &c. I think it's darned wrong, before, Because we us'd 'em clever; An' uncle vows a sailor works Much harder than a weaver. Heigh ho! Billy Bow, &c. But rot 'em all, if that's their cut, Mayhap they'll come an' rob us; An' so we'd better drive 'em off, Before an' they can grab us. Heigh ho! Billy Bow, &c. An' Dobby talks, if I will go, She'd wait a year to marry; Tho' I'm afraid to wait so long, For fear of that there Harry. Heigh ho! Billy Bow, &c. An' I heard 'em say, a training day, That Washington's a gone; An' Cap'n Toby swears they'll fall, Like crows when he's a mowin'. Heigh ho! Billy Bow, &c. He said, that once, in t'other war, He run right at the bullets, An' never minded grenadiers. No more than we do pullets. Heigh ho! Billy Bow, &c. But, duce, I'll rather stay at home, A making wall an' haying; An' to have 'em come to us, I hope there'd be no haying. Heigh ho! Billy Bow, &c.
Communications. THE Congress of the United States have again convened. It is to be hoped that the present session, like the last, will be marked with strong and decisive measures. The attention of Europe is directed, in no small degree, to the conduct of this country. America has acquired great reputation from the noble firmness of her President, and the enthusiastic ardor of her youth. The wise and vigorous laws which were enacted during the last session of Congress have contributed, likewise, to give importance to her name. I trust the national legislature will be anxious to encrease the influence and respectability of their country. If this disposition sincerely actuates them, they will speak the language of candor and truth; they will treat with contempt and indignation those shameless professions of moderation with which the infamous tyrants of France are endeavoring to amuse and deceive. In our Chief Magistrate we may fairly repose an unbounded confidence. The indignant language in which he speaks of the wrongs of his country, and the zeal with which he urged the vindication of her honor, mark a firmness of spirit from which every thing is to be expected in the hour of danger. The French directors know that the Chief Magistrate of America can neither be intimidated by threats, nor corrupted by intrigue. He perfectly understands their policy. He knows that they can be haughty; and that they can be mean. Americans! Venerate the illustrious man who presides over the destinies of your country. He deserves all your admiration, gratitude, and love. The Senate of the United States is entitled, likewise, to your highest confidence. A majority of its members have steadily supported the honor of their country. It is on the House of Representatives that the infamous partisans of France place their hopes of success. And, indeed, the independent American is forced, with shame, to confess that a large proportion of its members have been the tools of a foreign power. Did not a shameless faction in that House seize every opportunity to excuse, to palliate, to justify the conduct of France? Did not one of its leaders openly declare that the differences between the two republics had all arisen from the scandalous conduct of the American Executive? After the publication of the dispatches these men were obliged to change their language, and to confess that France had acted improperly. But still they cried, that peace might be preserved if irritating measures were avoided. Dastardly and abandoned traitors! Look at the hirelings in the Council of Berne, who sold their country, and you will see in them a faithful image of yourselves. Like you they recommended mild and soothing measures. Like you, they declared that peace might be secured, if nothing was done to irritate. Like you, they talked of the purity of their motives, and of their anxieties to avert the calamities of war. The leaders of the faction know perfectly well the object which France has in view, and the means which she employs. They are not ignorant that she is aiming at universal dominion, and that professions of friendship are the instruments on which she places her greatest hopes of success. If, then, they have not conspired against their country, why did they oppose every energetic measure? The law for raising an army — the law for protecting our trade — the law for dissolving the treaty with France — the law for capturing French armed ships, were all opposed by the faction with the utmost perseverance and zeal. Alas! what would have been our situation had these men prevailed? — French privateers would have plundered our trade; they would still have scourged our coast; they would still have insulted us in our bays and rivers. The demands of tribute would still have been urged; — Apologies for the speech of the President would still have been insisted on; — the feelings of patriotism would have been extinguished. — The sentiment of national honor would have ceased to be felt or valued. Yes, my fellow citizens, to this situation would your country have been reduced, had these men succeeded in their views. But, under the blessings of heaven, their schemes were baffled, and a wise and noble policy was pursued. — Our trade is protected. — The American flag floats in triumph on the ocean, and not a French robber dare shew himself on our coast. — Washington has left his retirement, and has taken the command of the armies of his country. The feelings of patriotism have been kindled, and that mercenary spirit has vanished which would balance the expenses of war against national dishonor. — The conduct of our government has produced, likewise, the most happy effects in Europe. It is a noble example to those countries which have submitted to insults and injuries. It has taught them that force is the only weapon by which they can preserve their honor, and that safety is to be acquired only by speaking and acting boldly. Legislators of America! persevere in this wise and magnanimous course of policy. Forsake not the reputation which your country has acquired. I do not address myself to the leaders of the faction. — It would be in vain to talk to men whose hearts have long since been dead to the feelings of patriotism. They will continue to be faithful to their masters. If any firm measures are proposed they will declaim on the pacific disposition which France has lately exhibited, and conjure the House not to blast the fair prospect that is beginning to open on the country. Yes, fellow-citizens, the Genevese and his followers will be impudent enough to attribute the late measures of the directory to sincere and virtuous motives. Do you think this impossible? — I refer you to a speech which he delivered in the House of Representatives after the dispatches had been published. He represented it as highly improper to make known the communications from our commissioners. He declared that the Senate, in publishing them, had taken a step which would inevitably involve the country in a war. He said he entertained hopes that our differences would yet be adjusted, but that the Senate, by that rash measure, had rendered it impossible. Nay, he went so far, on one occasion, as to assert, that the corrupt propositions mentioned in the dispatches did not appear to have come from the directory, but to have been entirely the work of unauthorized agents. What may we not expect from a man who can make such declarations as these?
But the faction will not be contented with opposing future measures of energy. — They will make a violent effort for the repeal of the wine laws that have already been passed. The sedition bill will, probably, be the first thing that will call forth their zeal. Here they will exert their utmost powers. They will talk of liberty — of the constitution — of the freedom of the press. — They will tell the people and the state governments, that they ought not to remain inactive — that their dearest rights are invaded — and that nothing will save them from despotism, but an immediate and powerful interference. This is what their agents have been doing in every part of the country. And they have had too much success in deceiving and poisoning the public mind. If they prevail in their effort against the sedition bill, they will then endeavor to repeal the one concerning aliens. And here they will cant about the sacred trial by jury. It is of the highest importance to France that the President should be deprived of the power of sending dangerous aliens out of the country. She has conquered more by her agents than by her arms. Intrigue has first divided the people whom she has subdued, and then her ferocious soldiers have completed what treachery had begun. If this law is repealed, the agents of the directory may work under the very eyes of the government, and laugh at its weakness. Should the faction triumph in this attempt, it will then attack the law for raising an army. And here its orators will declaim on the enormous taxes that oppress the people. They will tell us of the states whose liberties have been destroyed by standing troops, and they will represent the militia as sufficient for every purpose of defence. After this they will call in and dismantle the armed ships. Yes, my countrymen, this is the course which the faction would with to pursue, and nothing will prevent them from making the attempt but a perfect conviction that it will fail of success. Indeed, if they think they can disturb and alarm the public mind by declaiming on these subjects, the certainty of defeat will only make them more violent in their propositions and their harangues.
Nothing can save us from ruin, but a firm and vigilant administration. It is time to speak openly and boldly. There is an absolute connection between the directory and the abandoned leaders of a faction here. Am I asked for my proofs? I refer to their constant apologies for the conduct of France; to their persevering efforts to keep the country disarmed; to the mission of the envoy Logan. Few persons can be so stupid as to believe that this man went to France entirely of his own accord. It can be proved that Jefferson was extremely intimate with him just before his departure. And at what time did he dispatches when the faction saw their dearest hopes in the greatest danger of being blasted by that glorious enthusiasm which fired the American breast. A change of conduct on the part of France was absolutely necessary, and Dr. Logan was dispatched to instruct the directory how to deceive and manage his country. They treated him with the greatest attention, and their official journal represented him as the envoy of the French party in America. He was said in the French papers to have passports signed by Jefferson and McKean, and to carry letters from Jefferson to Merlin and Talleyrand. Thus we have positive proof of a coalition between foreign enemies and domestic traitors. Americans! be vigilant — Mark the leaders
of the faction well — Watch all their motions, for they can assume a thousand forms, and practise a thousand deceits. PRINCETON, Dec. 3. ARISTIDES.
THE intelligence of a peace at Rastadt, either "form and pressure," from the cabalistic efforts of a party whose wishes are invariably hostile to the tranquility and every substantial reason to discredit it. All lies amounts merely to this, viz. that at the date of the last advices from Rastadt the negotiating aspect. That the commissioners of the empire were disposed to concede to the imperious and dishonorable conditions of the French republic, is not apparent. Nor is it more obvious, that the latter were inclined to relinquish their demands — Where then are to be found, reasons to induce a belief that this wavering and disgraceful negotiation is at length terminated? When we know also that every fresh courier from Vienna or Paris gives a different complexion to their proceedings? Besides, certain events have since taken place which will materially affect the disposition of all parties in this Congress. The house of Austria, trembling for her existence, will have perceived, before the consummated a treaty which stipulates her own disgrace, and secures her future annihilation, the ambitious projects of her adversaries frustrated in all quarters, the marine of France expired; and the strength of her ancient ally, whom she basely deserted, daily rising in magnificent superiority over the seas. The account of these events must have reached the plenipotentiaries at the moment when the empire were deliberating on the cession of the left bank of the Rhine, and must of course have given an important bias to their decision. This decision it is to be hoped, will be reversed, for the renewal of a continental war, on the occurrence of which the friends of religion and rational liberty may congratulate themselves, as the infallible precursor of the total downfall of that detestable system in France, which has given birth to a catalogue of enormities unparalleled in history.
But even should the reverse of this have occurred; — should the empire have acquiesced in the disgraceful terms of the Republic; — have agreed to open a door for the admission of a democratic-jacobinical propaganda, and thereby abandoned the dissolution of her unwieldy, disjointed constitution — the world has nothing to apprehend. The success of this new villainy will only protract a little longer the duration of the Republic. Great Britain, forsaken by her allies, is alone equal to the overthrow of her enemy. In the north and east, however, a host of powerful auxiliaries is arising; the issue of whose joint operations will at once restore order and tranquility to the world, and reflect everlasting infamy upon those powers who, from a pusillanimous policy, were induced to fall off from a war, for the continuance of which they had every motive of interest as well as duty.
of the President would still have been insisted on; — the feelings of patriotism would have been extinguished. — The sentiment of national honor would have ceased to be felt or valued. Yes, my fellow citizens, to this situation would your country have been reduced, had these men succeeded in their views. But, under the blessings of heaven, their schemes were baffled, and a wise and noble policy was pursued. — Our trade is protected. — The American flag floats in triumph on the ocean, and not a French robber dare shew himself on our coast. — Washington has left his retirement, and has taken the command of the armies of his country. The feelings of patriotism have been kindled, and that mercenary spirit has vanished which would balance the expenses of war against national dishonor. — The conduct of our government has produced, likewise, the most happy effects in Europe. It is a noble example to those countries which have submitted to insults and injuries. It has taught them that force is the only weapon by which they can preserve their honor, and that safety is to be acquired only by speaking and acting boldly. Legislators of America! persevere in this wise and magnanimous course of policy. Forsake not the reputation which your country has acquired. I do not address myself to the leaders of the faction. — It would be in vain to talk to men whose hearts have long since been dead to the feelings of patriotism. They will continue to be faithful to their masters. If any firm measures are proposed they will declaim on the pacific disposition which France has lately exhibited, and conjure the House not to blast the fair prospect that is beginning to open on the country. Yes, fellow-citizens, the Genevese and his followers will be impudent enough to attribute the late measures of the directory to sincere and virtuous motives. Do you think this impossible? — I refer you to a speech which he delivered in the House of Representatives after the dispatches had been published. He represented it as highly improper to make known the communications from our commissioners. He declared that the Senate, in publishing them, had taken a step which would inevitably involve the country in a war. He said he entertained hopes that our differences would yet be adjusted, but that the Senate, by that rash measure, had rendered it impossible. Nay, he went so far, on one occasion, as to assert, that the corrupt propositions mentioned in the dispatches did not appear to have come from the directory, but to have been entirely the work of unauthorized agents. What may we not expect from a man who can make such declarations as these?
But the faction will not be contented with opposing future measures of energy. — They will make a violent effort for the repeal of the wine laws that have already been passed. The sedition bill will, probably, be the first thing that will call forth their zeal. Here they will exert their utmost powers. They will talk of liberty — of the constitution — of the freedom of the press. — They will tell the people and the state governments, that they ought not to remain inactive — that their dearest rights are invaded — and that nothing will save them from despotism, but an immediate and powerful interference. This is what their agents have been doing in every part of the country. And they have had too much success in deceiving and poisoning the public mind. If they prevail in their effort against the sedition bill, they will then endeavor to repeal the one concerning aliens. And here they will cant about the sacred trial by jury. It is of the highest importance to France that the President should be deprived of the power of sending dangerous aliens out of the country. She has conquered more by her agents than by her arms. Intrigue has first divided the people whom she has subdued, and then her ferocious soldiers have completed what treachery had begun. If this law is repealed, the agents of the directory may work under the very eyes of the government, and laugh at its weakness. Should the faction triumph in this attempt, it will then attack the law for raising an army. And here its orators will declaim on the enormous taxes that oppress the people. They will tell us of the states whose liberties have been destroyed by standing troops, and they will represent the militia as sufficient for every purpose of defence. After this they will call in and dismantle the armed ships. Yes, my countrymen, this is the course which the faction would with to pursue, and nothing will prevent them from making the attempt but a perfect conviction that it will fail of success. Indeed, if they think they can disturb and alarm the public mind by declaiming on these subjects, the certainty of defeat will only make them more violent in their propositions and their harangues.
Nothing can save us from ruin, but a firm and vigilant administration. It is time to speak openly and boldly. There is an absolute connection between the directory and the abandoned leaders of a faction here. Am I asked for my proofs? I refer to their constant apologies for the conduct of France; to their persevering efforts to keep the country disarmed; to the mission of the envoy Logan. Few persons can be so stupid as to believe that this man went to France entirely of his own accord. It can be proved that Jefferson was extremely intimate with him just before his departure. And at what time did he dispatches when the faction saw their dearest hopes in the greatest danger of being blasted by that glorious enthusiasm which fired the American breast. A change of conduct on the part of France was absolutely necessary, and Dr. Logan was dispatched to instruct the directory how to deceive and manage his country. They treated him with the greatest attention, and their official journal represented him as the envoy of the French party in America. He was said in the French papers to have passports signed by Jefferson and McKean, and to carry letters from Jefferson to Merlin and Talleyrand. Thus we have positive proof of a coalition between foreign enemies and domestic traitors. Americans! be vigilant — Mark the leaders

With regard to the interior of France, it is more than probable it will hasten a change that is evidently approaching.

I beg leave to recommend the following very interesting summary of recent events to the attention of my subscribers. It has been translated for this Gazette, from a letter in an important periodical work, published in Lower Saxony, of so late a date as the 26th of September.
"Lower Saxony, 26th September, '98. "I was mistaken, Sir, in supposing that a sea belongs to that Power which combines the advantages of governing on its coasts, of possessing the best ports, and the power of excluding an enemy from its ports. Every sea belongs to the nation whose marine is most powerful, whose means are most skilful, and who has the best means to come and to go. Should other effects affect to usurp its empire, she holds the power to punish their temerity; and the very hours, wherein they believe themselves secured from her vengeance, specially become the theatre of their disgrace and ruin."
The ships of war destined to protect the most important expedition that has been undertaken for ages; those ships, which left their own harbors with a few of their own officers and sailors, which reached their destination without obstacle, and landing the future conqueror, or Egypt and India at Alexandria, appeared in the road of that port, to defy the flag and power of the British navy; all these ships were no sooner discovered, than they were attacked and annihilated—and Nelson might say "Je n'ai fait que passer, ils n'étoient déjà plus."
But you are about to ask me what becomes of the conquerors of Egypt; and India? will they not be exterminated on the very soil of which they already believe themselves masters? In fact they seem destined to a fate still more miserable than that of their fleet. These men who had triumphed over the greatest generals, and the most disciplined armies, are doomed the victims of some savage tyrant.
Such is the fatal result of ignorance and presumption. The fleet of France has been lost through the ignorance of the Directors; and if Buonaparte perishes in Egypt, he falls the victim of an extravagant presumption. (To be continued)
