I never lost a race but the last I ran at Alexandria, which was owing to my being badly shod, as I lost all my plates before I got in.

THE LYON, NO QUADRUPED! On Tuesday evening last arrived in town from Philadelphia, General STEPHENS THOMPSON MASON, accompanied by his most valuable friend the VERMONT LYON, of spitting memory. Immediately on his arrival he received the adorations of all the DEMOCRATS, of our country, who were not averse to partake of his saliva, and the only thing wanting, to render the scene completely awful was the presence of Logan and Calender. The difference between the African and Vermont Lions is very considerable, the latter, tho' no quadruped, appears to be far the most beastly, while he possesses the sanguinary disposition, he is entirely destitute of all the noble qualities of the former. What the object of our blabbing senator is in receiving into his house such deplorable beings as a Calender and a Lyon appears mysterious, unless they are to receive some of the commissions that were probably received at Charleston in the tubs, from the French directory.
NEW-LONDON, March 29. Capt. Van Deurson informs that Mr. Robinson, the officer sent by captain Truxton to Guadalupe, Ballastere, to negotiate an exchange of prisoners, on landing was obliged to draw his sword to defend himself from insult. A file of soldiers, however, soon arrived for his protection. Desfontaines being at Point Petre; horses and a guard were furnished Mr. R. to conduct him there. Mr. Robinson has returned, and the French prisoners were all sent to Guadalupe, before captain V. left St. Kitts; excepting about forty Danes, Swedes, &c. who were detained. Captain Vandeurson brought dispatches from captain Truxton, which were this morning sent on to Philadelphia by express.
Arrived, ship Concord, Van Deurson, 12 days from St. Thomas's; two days before he left St. Thomas's, a French privateer brig chased on shore a brig from S. Carolina, on the west end of St. Thomas's. Came through the passage in company with the Montezuma, whom he left in chase of a brig, which he took for the French cruiser that run the brig a shore on St. Thomas's. Captain Van Deurson informs, that the Insurgente was all complete for sea, when he left St. Kitts, which was on the first of March, and commodore Truxton informed him that he intended she should sail on a cruise in one week; they were recruiting men for the Insurgente at St. Thomas's when he left there.
BOSTON, March 16. The Schooner Mary, capt. Watkins, arrived yesterday from Bourdeaux;—passage 95 days. Doctor Timothy Green came passenger in her. From the length of the passage political news cannot be expected. We have been favored with Paris papers to 10th Frimaire, [about the first of December] and Bourdeaux Commercial Advertisers to the 5th December. They contain little on subjects worthy observation. By this arrival we learn—that notwithstanding the French Directory enforces all its mandates with violence, and the public voice is obliged to take any pitch given it, the general opinion is opposed to an open war with the United States; while at the same time, a description of subjects are very willing to share the American property which daily arrives at Bourdeaux, and which is readily pronounced bon prise. To the disgrace of the American name, many of our unworthy countrymen, are partakers in this nefarious brigandage. Amongst them we have heard of a Randall, a Savage, &c. whose conduct would appear as black as Erebus, if even placed in contact with the most atrocious enormities of the licenced plunderers of the coast of Barbary.
A half column of the Paris "Gazette Nationale," is occupied in publishing the account of the erection of a pitiful Liberty Pole, in the town of Wallingford, in Vermont!

NATIONAL ETHICS. THERE are many influential men in America who possess much of the present French philosophy; men who are inimical to the Christian religion, and to the most important moral obligations, and rules of society which it imposes: some of whom are atheists, and with to unbridle every passion; to dissolve the bonds which hold community and introduce every thing unchaste, corrupt and devilish.—Others have prophesied, expected and assisted with all the weapons of farce, ridicule & sophistry, the speedy destruction of Christianity. There is an unfeeling feeling in infidels to make all other their opinion; to deprive men of a solace and comfort; which they can see gives cheerful-ness to their prosperity, and a balm to their afflictions. This unjustifiable inclination is predominant among the advocates of French Philosophy. The introduction of brothels would be to them a happy institute for the divine obligations of the marriage covenant. They would be satisfied were the ministers of the gospel, stage actors; and the temples of God converted to playhouses of indecency and corrupt manners, or a rendezvous for gamblers, tipplers, and the promiscuous fruition of abandoned prostitutes; a frolicking decade, instead of the sabbath, and eternal sleep, for a happy immortality. We wish not to impress the idea that all the Jacobins are men of this class; but that the larger part of the leading characters are such. The chief ruler among them has long borne such a character. We would demand of such men what can
be their object. The language of their hearts will repond—am'ition, such as moved the spirit of our Grand Parent, previous to his fall from Heaven, urges us on to deeds of hellish consequence and dreadful fame. Let them ask themselves a question, always useful in revolutions of religion as well as government: CUIBONO? Whose good will be advanced? Truth will answer, the good of none, not even of yourselves. We cannot but regret there should be, as certainly there are, many men of respectability for probity and understanding, who unwittingly support a party, the consequence of whose politics & opinions they themselves detest. Some of them have a dislike to the constitution; but the larger part a jealousy, virtuous when not carried to extremes, which makes them suspicious of every public officer and every measure of government. Let this jealousy be carefully watched, lest it carry them to lengths of which they may have afterwards cause of bitter repentance.

THE ENVOY'S CRITERION No. II. THE means, employed to awaken our distinguished Envoy from his political lethargy, must be highly gratifying to every friend of honour and patriotism; and to every mind that views with contempt, a voluntary subject of Gallic chicane and imposition. The mind of Mr. G. as was manifest from the credulity and avidity, with which he received professions of the most glaring inconsistency, never experienced a single humiliating emotion, till his sensibility received a shock from the consideration of personal resentment and personal indignity. It was then that his mind became first susceptible of other ideas, than the volatile suggestions of vanity, aided by the fawning complaisance and grateful insinuations of designing hypocrites. It was then that he was brought to consider the source of his diplomatic authority deserving of higher consideration than his character. It was then, in short that a political regeneration began its work, and left our solitary Envoy no longer in a fitable habit to "dream of things impossible."
Although the renovating shock must have been too violent to leave him at first with the faculties of reasoning; on the return of cool reflection, the simple progress of analogy would lead him to a consideration of the original contempt shown him in conjunction with his colleagues when personal prejudices rendered him more conspicuous, than the diplomatic seal of his country!
The motives of this extraordinary politician, whatever may be his pretensions, are so clearly demonstrated in his line of conduct as to preclude the necessity of an explanation. A popular name must be singularly grateful to one so captivated with
Blackhead's Battery, whose praise defames, as though a fool should mean By spitting on your face to make it clean. To be the sole agent of softening the affections of the most formidable power the world had exhibited toward an offending nation, whose candid, and liberal proposals, could merit no return but "reign your authority, and deliver your purse" must be a deed of immortal honor; And the memory of the author must be cherished with the most lively emotions of gratitude, when his honourable bones, no longer active in the service of his country, should take up their peaceful abode in dull cold marble.

VINES.
To the Gentlemen of Philadelphia. AMONGST fruit trees, the superiority of the vine is universally acknowledged, and the reason why there are so few, and why those few bear so little fruit, is, that the plants are not properly cultivated.
That part of the culture of the vine which requires most experience and most care, is the pruning, for which the season is now arrived. The subscriber, who has to remain some days in the city, will with pleasure prune the vines (gratis) of any gentleman who will accept of his services, and who will send his address to him at Mr. Mouton's, No. 27, Sugar alley.—His long experience in the culture of the vine, and the extraordinary success of his vineyard at SPRING MILL, must he imagines, be a sufficient assurance, that this inestimable plant can never suffer under his hands. LEWIS JOCKY. Philadelphia, 20th March, 1799.
P. S. Mr. Jocky requests the several printers to give the above a place in their gazettes; and, though its insertion can tend to the benefit of their customers alone, he will look upon it as a favour, which he shall be happy to repay by a bottle of his old American Wine, if they will honor him with a visit at Spring Mill, 13 miles from Philadelphia, on the Ridge Road.
To all whom it may concern. THE Creditors of the Subscriber are desired to take notice, that application has been made to the Court of Common Pleas of Milfin County, in the State of Pennsylvania, in order that the applicants may receive the benefit of the several laws passed for the relief of insolvent debtors, and that the said court have appointed Monday in April next, to hear him and his creditors at the court house in Lewis Town, in the said county.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, Dec. 23. Dispatches were received on Friday, at the Office of Mr. Secretary Dundas, from Earl Macartney, Governor of the Settlement of the Cape of Good Hope, dated the 18th of September. And private letters were understood, were received, at the same time, from General Dundas and Admiral Sir Hugh Christian, K. B. of so late a date as the 1st of October. We are happy to learn that the garrison and inhabitants of the settlement were in a state of perfect health. By the arrangements that are made at the Cape for sending a reinforcement of troops to India, to consist of about Two Thousand Men, added to the force already there, any hopes of conquest which the French might have formed in that quarter of the world, would be completely disappointed.
YARMOUTH, Dec. 16. The Russian Admiral's ship from the violence of her beating, makes a great deal of water, and on Friday evening her rudder came on shore. Yesterday, the Diana packet Capt. Osborne, landed her mails, passengers, and upwards of 30,000. in specie and bullion. Admiral Lord Duncan this day struck his flag, and Vice Admiral Dickson hoisted his flag, blue, at the fore, on board the Monmouth. This day his Lordship left Yarmouth for his seat in Perthshire. The packets, owing to a thick fog, are still prevented from sailing.
PETERSBURGH, November 15. The Emperor Paul I. immediately after his accession to the Throne renounced the Alliance with the Powers at war with France by the advice of Prince Karakin, whom he appointed his Minister. Having since been succeeded in the office of Vice-Chancellor, which is the second station in the Empire, by M. de Kotshubey, nephew of the Chancellor for Prince Bedhorodsko, there was an immediate change in the political system of the court. It was M. de Kotshubey, who during his Embassy at Constantinople made the basis of the Treaty between Russia and the Porte. The first change was followed by many others both in the Administration and the Army.
The Corps of General Rosenberg entered Germany to serve as auxiliaries against the French it is composed of two columns, each consisting of two divisions. The first column and division, commanded by Lieutenant-General Levow, consists of 6,380 Infantry and 3,234 Cavalry. The first division of the second column has 6,307 Foot and 2,787 Horse, is under the command of Lieutenant-General Paul Swelkowsky, having Brigadier Tislow under him. He also leads the second division, with which are the Majors General Kodschin and Serelkowsky; that is composed of 5,145 Infantry, and 3,072 Cavalry—the whole of the four divisions amounting to 23,402 Foot and 12,287 Horse. In this army are a great number of Cossacks, who from the advanced and rear guard of each division.
The Court Gazette has published the order issued to the Army by the Emperor previous to its march. His Majesty expresses, to the Colonels of the Regiment and the Commandants of Grenadier Battalions, "his great satisfaction and acknowledgment of the order order that reigns in this corps; and to the soldiers, convinced of their invaluable fidelity, their zeal and bravery, he already anticipates those heroic actions by which they will signalize themselves in the annihilation of those who are the enemies of religion, as well as of humanity in general." [This Letter which is from a distinguished personage in Russia, may serve to refute the absurd stories with which the Paris Papers are filled respecting the composition and discipline of the Russian Army now marching towards the Danube.]

PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 25.
There is every reason to doubt the information contained in our Gazette of Saturday, respecting the pretended disorders of the king of Naples. We find that a similar report prevailed in Paris, and was even published in the Gazettes of the Pentarchs with all the air of authenticity, so far back as the 20th December.
It is very possible that McDonald may have gained some advantage over the detachment under the Prince, who had made a division towards Civita Vecchia and Ancona.
The state of things in France, from the murder of the unfortunate monarch, to the present hour, is very truly expressed in the following passage from Boileau, adapted by the author of The Pursuits of Literature.
"Désirons à l'envie leur propre République Lions contre Lions, pires contre parents, Combattent follement pour LE CHOIX DES TYRANS."
The superiority of a good man over a villain is never more discernible than in times of embarrassment or danger. The one is upheld through every extremity by the mens conscia recti: animated by the belief that he deserves no evils, he is proud to confide that evil will affail him in vain.
Of all the various species of democrats, your cream-visaged, smiling gentry, are the most detestable. Those pleasant, jocular, good-humored democrats who are "the best of company," invariably possess on near inspection, the heart of Robespierre along with the visage of Carrier.
A correspondent of a newspaper printed at Augusta, in Georgia, suggests to the corporation the propriety of prohibiting shooting and sporting on the Sabbath-day.
In addition (he observes) to the impiety of such open profanation of that day, the public worship is frequently interrupted thereby, and an example set highly pernicious to the rising generation.
GENS GRIS.
Every person who has attended to the state and progress of the French revolution, through its different stages, must have observed the almost continual existence of three distinct parties, down to the murder of the king; from which time, I consider them as all united and interested in one common view.
The Democratic papers have suspended their abuse of our naval officers, who have recently distinguished themselves by making captures from the enemy, in order to abet the sovereign people who have risen à la Française in the northern parts of this state.
Mrs. Robinson, the Poetess and Novel-ist, having finished her Sappho and Pléion, sent a billet to Mr. Boarden, compositor of Dramatic pieces, with a request that he would furnish her with a few puffs for her Sappho and Pléion.

The owner of a Goat, which had been trespassing for some time, went to a magistrate to inform against himself, and desired to know his fine, which was half a dollar.
In the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, a bill designating taxable property being under consideration, a federal member observed that asses were not mentioned in the bill, and moved to amend it, by inserting the word asses.

At a meeting of the officers of the first regiment of the militia of Philadelphia, commanded by lieut. col. Francis Gurney, at the house of major Pancake, on the 20th March, 1799, the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to, and signed by them respectively.
Resolved, That we the subscribers, officers of the first regiment of Philadelphia militia, being convened on business relative to our corps, embrace the occasion, which our meeting affords, to express our abhorrence and detestation of the designs manifested by certain evil disposed persons against the tranquility and happiness of our country.
Resolved, That we will exert all our influence with our fellow citizens to frustrate the vile and boasted diplomatic skill of any foreign enemy, and the still baser and more detestable intentions of a domestic faction against our beloved country.

Philadelphia Rifle Company
having met at the house of Lewis Young, March 20, 1799.—Twenty members present. The critical situation in which this country stands at present, being threatened by a perfidious foreign enemy, and its tranquility shaken by a domestic faction, who have with force and arms opposed the operation of the laws of the United States having been mentioned,
A motion was made and seconded, That this company will turn out when thereunto legally required, either to suppress internal insurrection or repel foreign invasion.
On the question being put it was unanimously agreed to.
The members present expressed their disapprobation in strong terms of those who had been tantalizing the company by giving their signatures and withholding their services.
Therefore resolved, That the third section of the articles of association be transferred and printed, and at the next meeting all who do not come forward with a proper excuse be expelled the company and their names given to the public, in order to prevent further imposition, on other uniform companies.
SECTION 3d.
As soon as the Officers shall be commissioned and the Company equipped with Arms and Uniform, we then pledge ourselves to each other to turn out in defence of our country, either to repel foreign invasion, or suppress internal insurrection when thereunto legally required.
The company are requested to meet at the house of Lewis Young in 6th street, THIS Evening, at 6 o'clock, without uniform. JOHN COYLE, captain. OBA. STOCKTON, 1st lieut. LODEWYK SHARPE, 2d lieut. March 25th.
From a Paris paper of November 11.
Department of the Ardèche and the Upper Loire.
The ex-marquis of Surville, commander for the pretender in the south of France, and whose arrestation was lately announced, was condemned to the punishment of death, on the 17th Vendémiaire, by the military commission sitting at Puy.
The conspirator was no ways terrified by the presence of his judges. He persisted in
declaring that his name was not Surville, but Dulard. He thought that this obdurate denial of his name would tend to intimidate the witnesses against him. But this person was too strongly identified to encourage the hope that a borrowed name would save him from conviction, either by witness or judges: he was unanimously recognized as the ex-marquis of Surville.
"If you had not been so anxious for my speedy destruction, and I could have had a conference with Barras, I should have made a discovery which would have astonished all France. You, gentleman, tell the public, if you please, that I do not die like a wretched brother, but that I die for my king. I have been sincere, and I die in defending my cause. I acknowledge that I am not able to conceive why I did not succeed in my enterprise. I had more than thirty departments at my command, and several of the constituted authorities. It must be concluded that Providence has been hostile to the success of my projects."
Having made this short declaration, he requested pen, ink and paper, to write a last adieu to his spouse. This letter, which is deeply fraught with the most sentimental eloquence, has, among others, these words: "To-morrow, my dear friend, a baptism of blood will wash away all the stains of my life." He then addressed the following letter to his beloved most Christian Majesty, recommending to him the Jailor of Puy:
"I am about to die for the glory of the French name, and for the august cause of your most Christian Majesty. I entrust these lines to the keeper of the prison of Puy, from whence I am to proceed to execution; he will convince your majesty of the impossibility of my transmitting another communication. This man has not been destitute of regard for me; and he has promised, that he will treat with tenderness all who may be in my situation. It is on this account that I entreat in his favor the clemency and attention of your majesty. Deign, Sire, to accept the most respectful homage of the most faithful of your servants, and to forgive the inefficacy of the efforts which he has made to prove himself worthy of the confidence with which your majesty has condescended to honor him."
I am, With the profoundest respect, Sire, Your most Christian Majesty's Most humble & obed't servant The Marquis of Surville.
The moment which was to terminate his existence being arrived, he walked forth to meet his fate with all the courage which royal fanaticism had so deeply infused into his mind, accompanied by a Constitutional Priest.
DED—On Tuesday last, of a lingering illness, Mr. Richard Renshaw, of this city.

Notice to Creditors.
WILLIAM S THOM, late shopkeeper, of this city, having assigned to us the subscribers, all the goods belonging to him, secreted in the cellar of John Poor, school-master, Cherry-street, on the night of the 28th ult. and there attached; as well as all other effects, real, personal, and mixed, for the benefit of such of his creditors only, as shall on or before the first of April next ensuing, file a discharge now in our possession: therefore such of them as wish to avail themselves of a dividend then to be made, are requested to bring in their accounts properly attested, otherwise they will be excluded therefrom: And all persons indebted to the said William S Thom, are hereby desired to make immediate payment to either of us, being the only persons authorized to receive the same.

Mr. John Poor's name being mentioned in the above notice to my creditors, I would inform the public that he had no interest or concern, whatever in the property belonging to me deposited in his cellar, and neither were said goods secreted, as above stated. William S Thom. march 22 dt RA
WILLIAM S THOM, informs the public that JOHN POOR had no interest nor concern in the Goods which were deposited in his cellar. Whatever suspicions we might entertain on the subject, it would be hard to prove his having an interest in the property, it is however an unfortunate circumstance that gentleman, that in the same advertisement William Thom likewise asserts that those goods were not secreted. In order that a true judgment may be formed of the credit due to this false we will ask—Why were the goods packed up after dark, with the window over the door darkened by a blanket hung up behind it?—Why was a porter called up out of his bed? and why was the candle extinguished when they were taken away, and his poor little boy left, as he laid, in the dark, till the whole (three loads) were carried off?—two of these loads were hauled to John Poor's cellar, and received by himself at near eleven o'clock at night. Several days elapsed before the porter employed in the business was discovered—On asking him and a Sheriff's officer to this schoolmaster's, he at first denied having any such goods in his possession, but on being informed that the porter was ready to attest that he delivered them to him, he confessed there were some goods in his cellar, but would not confess that he knew where they came from, whom they were, or any thing about them. Indeed to great was his caution, that he absolutely refused to take a receipt from the Sheriff's officer when he took them away. We shall just add, that this schoolmaster was the first person suspected by us to have the goods in his possession, as we can fully prove.

The Constitutional Gazette; AND Republican Courier.
The Subscriber respectfully offers to the Public, proposals for a Newspaper, under the title of the Constitutional Gazette; and Republican Courier.
It is intended to be published three times a week in the city of Philadelphia; viz. on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening. The subscription will be five dollars per annum, half to be paid by subscribers in the city when called for. The difficulty of collecting small sums in the country, renders it necessary to ask the subscription, out of the city, to be paid in advance, or the name of a person in Philadelphia who will pay them regularly.
Although the proposed Newspaper will be of a smaller size than the unhappy sheets now generally in use, it will contain as much as the generality of the daily Gazettes. It is expected that a very small portion of it will be occupied by advertisements, which will occasion an unusual quantity of intelligence and information. It will be published in the quarto form, and regularly paged, to render it convenient for binding in volumes, to each of which an Index will be attempted.
The principles intended to be supported, are those of the Federal and State Constitutions. The friends of the tranquility, peace and happiness of this country, may rely on a calm, decent and firm adherence to those valuable Republican codes. The Editor is unwilling to make large promises, but he assures his friends and the public, that he has ground to rely on important literary and political contributions from various sources. Without such an expectation, he would not have undertaken, at this time, to publish a new Gazette. He believes the Press to be the noblest instrument in the command of Freemen, and he flatters himself that The Constitutional Gazette will not be found among the most exceptional, nor among the least useful.
