GEORGE DAVIS'S Fall Importation is now arranged of which a more capital collection he believes was never offered for sale either in this City, London or Dublin. It combines almost every book in, with several valuable books out of print. Davis's confining himself to the sale of Law-Books only, it will appear obvious to professional Gentlemen, the advantages they have both in selection and price by purchasing from him.
His Catalogues being ready, gentlemen will particularly oblige him by calling for them—and to those residing at a distance, by favoring him with their address (post-paid) they shall be sent.

Extra of a letter from Mr. Jefferson, dated Paris, July 31, 1788.—Taken from the National Gazette, published by Philip Freneau, September 29, 1792.
"I sincerely rejoice at the acceptance of our new Constitution, by nine States. It is a good canvas, on which some strokes only want retouching. What there are, I think are sufficiently manifested by the general voice from north to south, which calls for a Bill of Rights."
"A declaration that the Federal Government will never restrain the press from printing any thing they please, will not take away the liability of the printers for false facts printed. The declaration that religious faith shall be unpunished, does not give impunity to criminal acts dictated by religious error."
Extract of another letter from the same gentleman, dated Paris, August 28, to be found in the same paper.
"I must now say a word on the declaration of rights, which you have been so good as to send me. I like it as far as it goes; but I should have been for going further, for instance, the following alterations and additions would have pleased me."
"Art. 4. The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their rights to speak, to write, or otherwise to publish any thing, but false facts, affecting injuriously the life, liberty, property, or reputation of others, or affecting the peace of the confederacy with foreign nations."
"1st Quere. If scandal and malice being added to falsehood, exempt a transaction from the legislative power of Congress, which, if it were false alone, by the admission of Mr. Jefferson, would be subject to that power?"
"2d Quere. By what variation in principles has it come to pass, that a sense anticipated by Mr. Jefferson, before the amendment concerning the freedom of the press, and of religion; and afterwards again with that amendment before him, confirmed as the true sense, when adopted by Congress, is to be considered as unconstitutional by that gentleman and his friends?"
COMMUNICATIONS.
MR. PENNO. LAST autumn in travelling through part of Virginia I frequently entered into conversation with gentlemen whom I occasional ly met at the public houses, on the subject of the Alien and Sedition Laws, and particularly when from their dialect I discovered them to be foreigners. I generally observed to them, I am sorry to hear you are so greatly alarmed at the late alien law of the Union—Alarmed (was their invariable answer) no such thing, you are totally misinformed; we are under no apprehension from its operation—We have truly much reason to complain of state laws and state tribunals, but depend upon the fact, upon the fact, 'tis the Virginians alone who complain of the alien laws. Now Mr. Printer, I desire that some of your wits will account for this enigma.
A STRANGER.
ONLY AN ELECTION TRICK.
However unwilling the democratic faction may be to admit any circumstance that tends to disclose the interested views of those whose lips constantly dwell upon patriotism, whose amorphous centers consist, it is no less a fact, that on various occasions they are compelled to have recourse to persons whom they cannot imitate, to support their characters as they are; i. e. they are necessitated to borrow the garb of virtue to conceal their own vicious deformity. To this cause and not to the united suffrages of his fellow-citizens, are we to impute the successful termination of a late election in a county not fifty miles from Philadelphia, in favor of a candidate whose duplicity swerved many well intentioned persons from their determined purpose.
A few weeks preceding the election, at a time when the genius of Columbia had called upon her sons to resist oppression offered from abroad, and to crush a growing faction at home—this disciple of Gallatin, knowing that a majority of the electors were with administration, even to their lives—artfully insinuated that he had just (then) returned from an interview with the President of the United States, at which he had tendered his services, to act in any rank he might be thought deserving of, and that his name was actually placed on the records of the Secretary at War. But fearing lest this would not fully support his pretensions to patriotism and not trusting to his usual trumpeter, (a democratic magistrate, who, if I mistake not, is from the turbulent nation) he boldly declared that during the American revolution, he was intrusted with a command and station, which placed it in his power, to have forever disconcerted our measures, to have buried our brightest hopes in everlasting night! Can it be, that he whose wisdom and rectitude were superior to every assault of fortune—Can it be, that Washington the great, the good, would trust an individual with the holding of a balance, the nicest turn of which would have decided the fate of America and posterity? Say, ye elder Sons of Liberty—ye whose breaths never cherished one traitorous idea, can this be so?
But mark, the election over and the candidate having thus seated himself in a chair of State; his friends say it was only an election trick—he has not been the President, nor would he take the trouble to ask any thing
of him—Perhaps his latter affection may be found to be as sound as his friends say his first was false.
But on examination it will be found that he has made application for a military employment—Without presuming to dictate, it might not be amiss to search into the real motives of a man whose political opinion has long run counter to the wise measures of administration—Whole individual opinion may be proven to be unfriendly to the President and the Commander in Chief—and whose public confession now declares, that he yet retains in idea where and when he might (Judas like) have betrayed our country's favour with a kiss.
To the FREEMEN of Philadelphia County.
FELLOW-CITIZENS, ON Friday next, the 21st instant, you will again be called to the exercise of a most important and interesting privilege, for the purpose of choosing a person to represent you in the State Legislature, in the room and stead of John Huston, Esq., who has resigned. It is at all times highly essential, that you should examine with candour and patriotism the qualifications of those men who solicit your suffrages for stations of trust and responsibility;—at present, however, when the honor and prosperity of our common country are at stake, it is peculiarly incumbent upon you, as free and enlightened citizens, to discriminate, with jealous circumspection, the pretended from the real friends of the government. On a subject of such immense moment, then, I trust you will listen to me with serious and profitable attention.
The active enemies of the Federal government, who have no effort of opposition untried however often foiled, are determined, at the ensuing special election, to support, with their votes, the disgraced and contemptible GEORGE LOGAN; a man whose recent conduct you are all convinced deserved, as it has received, the unqualified censure of every honest American; and who, by a long series of opposition to government, has proved his inveteracy to all legitimate authority. Citizens of Pennsylvania, you live in the centre of political information—you cannot be ignorant of the unwarrantable and presumptuous interference of this man—you cannot view, but with indignation and contempt, this feeble insect crawling from nothingness, and aspiring to the confidence of his country, without a particle of merit, or a single act of service to recommend him—Your own discernment, your active patriotism, your love of public virtue, your respect for the laws, all conspire to render him deservedly odious in your estimation.
Even had this man, in the assumption of a diplomatic character, effected an actual reconciliation, the unwarrantableness of his authority, the arrogance of the undertaking, would deserve your severest reprobation; and the terms of pacification, however favorable, coming through that dirty and illegal channel, would be rejected by a people right and independent.—France having no right to prescribe the qualifications of our ministers, we would concede to her, if we appeared the least thankful for the exertions of this impostor. But he has done nothing towards a reconciliation, even if we were inclined to avail ourselves of his embassy—He has visited France and returned—the fame has been done with as much effect, by many of our captains of vessels and seamen.
Under these considerations, fellow-citizens, how does your own reflection impell you to act? To elect him, will be to sanction his infamous presumption—it will be a stain on our state—a reproach to the general government of the United States, and a temptation to others to follow his footsteps. Let me conjure you, then, as you love order, as you love freedom and independence—as you esteem the present happy government, resist with unanimity and spirit, the unreal pretensions of this candidate for your suffrages.—I recommend to you, BENJAMIN CHEW, jr. a gentleman, in every respect capable of representing you with justice and credit.
December 15. A Fellow-Citizen.
A FACT. One of the M'Leans, who a few months ago rendered himself conspicuous in Canada by his jacobinical conduct, has made his escape to one of those western counties of Pennsylvania long since famous for harbouring Disturbers of public Tranquility.
EVERY editor of a news-paper accompanies his proposals to publish it, with a promise to be impartial. This was at first understood to imply "being open to all parties." The public were however early denied a latitude so great as this. Impartiality is not violated, it is now conceived, if facts are justly stated, and no necessary information withheld, though admission should be refused to all political sentiments opposed to those which the editor may espouse—Confide even in this restricted sense, how many breaches of impartiality appear; Claypoole's paper of yesterday exhibits a glaring instance of this. Let any one turn to it, who was present at the debate on the resolution for printing and distributing copies of the Alien and Sedition laws, and read that debate as given by him and he will be struck with the fullness of this charge. The speech of Mr. Gallatin is detailed in the full: it manner and seems to have greater force than it really possessed from being reduced in print. While the reply made by Mr. Harper, which displayed promptness of wit, fertility of genius, and correctness of judgment, is curtailed and mutilated so that it possesses none of the manly features which produced approbation and delight in those who heard it.
Friday, Dec. 14.
Extract of a Coup d'oeil over the situation of Europe, contained in the Spectateur du Nord, a German periodical work, for the month of August 1793.
It was in the plans of the Directory that the Americans should pay also their tribute;
but thanks to their sagacity, and above all to their nation, they have hitherto known how to disappoint these calculations; they have even been able to obtain words of sweetness and of peace, in place of that imperious and menacing language, which, a few months since, the Directory held towards them. You have seen the singular correspondence of the minister of foreign relations, with the envoy of America, who remained at Paris after the departure of his colleagues. You have admired the able and honest politics of that minister who, being unwilling to admit the Envoys invested with a character and furnished with ample powers, obstinately persists in recognizing those powers and that character in an Envoy who no longer acknowledges them himself.
You will have admired that delicate and scrupulous policy, which no longer wishes Mr. Gerry to return to the preliminary measure of a loan, the idea of which never entered into the pure views of the Directory. You will have admired the frank and simple policy of citizen Talleyrand, who wishes to negotiate with all his might, when there are no longer negotiators; who speaks of the alienation of the Directory, when for three years the Directory has abused the alienation of the Americans; who wishes, in fine, to use all means of avoiding a rupture, and of preserving peace, when France for five years has made war upon America. It would be difficult, says Mr. Gerry in his letter to the minister, to find in the history of civilized nations, any examples approaching in cruelty to the depredations, the outrages, and the sanguinary atrocities, exercised by the French upon the commerce and the citizens of the United States. It is after such a war, that they insult the patience of the Americans, by reproaching them with their alienation, and to whom they presume they have rendered ample justice, by publishing a tardy arrest against these cruel and plundering corsairs, of whom they have so long complained.
The vigorous measures taken by the United States, will, without doubt, contribute more to the protection of their commerce, than the phrases of citizen Talleyrand and the article of the Directory. But both these last have only labored in their vocation, while endeavoring to disarm those enemies they could not debauch; while laboring to avoid a war which may hurt, and which cannot enrich them; while seeking to heap on the Americans, all the odium of a rupture; and to fortify amongst them the disorganizing party which menaces their repose.
You may qualify as you please the conduct of the Directory towards the United States. It will be easily judged of by all sensible men, and I perceive that it has been appreciated justly by even those who most favor the principles of the French government.
At London, the most popular Journals of the opposition, are, some of them merry with the virtues of the directory, others loud in reprobation of the baseness and corruption of that government. They also give into suspicions of the honesty of the minister Talleyrand, and they are scandalized at this Republican adopter of the duplicity of the ancient court. On the whole, I find that the friends of democracy, the few remaining men of truth and decency amongst them recover a little from their enthusiasm for the French Revolutionizers, the greatest enemies of the real liberty and independence of nations. If such be the language of those friends of liberty the least suspected of demagoguery, in England, where as yet they have not known French liberty but by others' experience; what think, must be the thoughts of the friends of real liberty in Holland, in Italy, in Switzerland, and in America.

Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated October 20th, 1798.
"The Emperor of Russia has sent 60,000 men to the assistance of Austria against France—30,000 have already arrived in the Tyrol, and the remainder are on their march."
"A secret expedition, under the command of General Stuart, consisting of 8000 men, are soon to sail from hence and Gibraltar, supposed for the Mediterranean."

FRENCH ACCOUNT Of an engagement, between the Mediterranean Fleet.
"On board Le Guillaume Tell, Malta, August 28."
"The English attacked us in the anchorage of Bequiers, on the 1st of August about six in the evening; and of thirteen ships and four frigates, which composed our force, 11 ships & 2 frigates, have remained on the scene of action. But had it not been for the blowing up of the L'Orient, our bravery compensating our deficiency in numbers and tactics, would have been sufficient to find the English along with ourselves, in one common overthrow. The enemy have only six ships remaining in a serviceable condition. I assure you that never has there been a more dreadful combat. We were within less than pistol shot of each other."
"Our fleet consisted of 13 ships, which were moored in a line at the distance of two thirds of a cable from each other, in the Roads of Bequiers. We had no conception that we should be attacked on the land side, considering the small space between us and the banks along the shore; but the English shot along in this direction in so masterly a manner, that only their first ship touched the ground; and the rest passed in two lines on the starboard and larboard sides of our headmost vessels. Our line was thus between two fires from the van to the L'Orient, which was in the centre."
"The superb ship L'Orient took fire at ten o'clock. She was attacked so closely, that it was the wedding of the English ships which set her on fire, and the sailors fought each other with their rammers. It was impossible to extinguish the flames. It was a terrible, but melancholy spectacle to see this vessel fighting to the last extremity, though with the certain prospect of destruction. About midnight the blew up. Our vessels were then thrown into disorder—every one cut their cables to escape the wreck."

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 of divers public characters and re- putable merchants highly complimentary 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 Newspapers in the United States to publish this for the benefit of their fellow-citizens.
