Law Book Store, No. 319, High Street. GEORGE DAVIS, IMPRESSED with the favors shown him in his efforts to establish a Store for the sale of Law Books only, begs leave to inform the Gentlemen of the Bar generally throughout the United States, that in addition to his collection now on hand, which he supposes to be more extensive, than in the possession of any one person for sale in America, he expects daily very large supplies from London & Dublin, particularly from the latter place, having chiefly confined his importations to those editions, as being in his opinion equally correct with the London copies, and well known to be infinitely lower charged. G. D. limiting himself, solely to the sale of Law Books, it will appear obvious to professional gentlemen the great advantages they have in purchasing from him, both as to selection and price, of which the encouragement he has received for several years past, is the best testimony he can offer.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY EVENING, April 5. For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
WHILE round our brow, in frenzy dabb'd from far, High beats the irrel surge of ruthless war; While mob-made tyrants, minions of an hour, Vile murder-kings, by murderers rais'd to power, With groveling insult, and base minded scorn, Drive us, like wretches, to a tyrannic bourne; Pant to spread havoc o'er our fertile plains; While curs implore, with paitie wiles, Braves public censure, and in Senates guiles; While impious foreigners in their fashi-ions cells, Re-urge their fires, and brew their mimic spells; While nought prevents to reason's sacred eye, But brave resistance or vile slavery; The patriot doubts, and precious hours consumes, To idly quib'les and unmanly glooms; O'er this volcano, threat'ning ev'ry hour Its burning lava on our heads to pour; In torpor sleeps, and that 'gainst danger's cry, Sees, hour by hour, some chance of vengeance die; Infatuate spirit! that way ruin lies; Each hour of doubt, an hour of freedom dies. As from a mazz'd bird, the flaming volcano night, Would fling its fate, and oft essays to fly; But all around, and still opprest with care, Clings to the floor, as wont to hover there. The fatal flame, still creeping slow and low, Levels the pile, and lays its tenant low. Rouse, then, while yet the pow'r to rouse remains; Let coward ease count o'er her peaceful gains; Dear bought those gains which from disgrace arise, And lost that state which hails no no-ten price. Let the red flag of vengeance be display'd, And ghosts of Russians steam on ev'ry blade; While the red throats of our loud cannon roar, And deadly thunder on the miscreants pour; A horde of monsters, whom no pangs can bind, Pests of the earth, and curs of all mankind; Then deep the late small vengeance bolts be hurl'd, And hosts of murderers crown the infernal world.
From the New-York Commercial Advertiser
THE STAND—No. 1.
THE enlightened friend of America never saw greater occasion of disquietude than at the present juncture. Our nation, thro' its official organs, has been treated with studied contempt and systematic insult; essential rights of the country are persistently violated, and its independence and liberty eventually threatened, by the most flagitious, despotic and vindictive government that ever disgraced the annals of mankind; by a government marching with hasty and colossal strides to universal empire—and, in the execution of this hideous project, wielding with absolute authority the whole physical force of the most enthralled and most powerful nation on earth. In a situation like this, how great is the cause to lament, how affliction to every heart, alive to the honour and interest of its country, to observe, that distracted and inefficient councils, that a palsied and unconscionous state of the public mind, afford too little assurance of measures adequate either to the urgency of the evils which are felt, or to the magnitude of the dangers which are in prospect.
When Great-Britain attempted to wrest from us those rights, without which we must have descended from the rank of free men, a keen and strong sense of injury and danger ran with electric swiftness thro' the breasts of our citizens. The mass and weight of talents, property and character, hastened to congregate in the public cause. The great body of our community every where burnt with a holy zeal to defend it, and were eager to make sacrifices on the altar of their country.
If the nation with which we were called to contend was then the preponderating power of Europe; if by her great wealth and the success of her arms she was in a condition to bias or to awe the cabinets of princes; if her fleets covered and domineered over the ocean, facilitating depredation and invasion; if the penalties of rebellion hung over an unsuccessful contest; if America was yet in the cradle of her political existence; if her population little exceeded two millions; if she was without government, without fleets or armies, arsenals or magazines, without military knowledge; still her citizens had a just and elevated sense of her rights, were thoroughly awake to the violence and injustice of the attack upon them, saw the conduct of her adversary without apology or extenuation; and, under the impulse of these impressions and views, determined with little front of unanimity to brave every hazard in her defence. This magnanimous spirit was the sure pledge that all the energies of the country would be exerted to bring all its resources into action, that whatever was possible would be done towards effectual opposition; and this, combined with the immense advantage of distance, warranted the expectation of ultimate success. The event justified the expectation and rewarded the glorious spirit from which it was derived.
Far different is the picture of our present situation! The FIVE TYRANTS of France, after binding in chains their own countrymen, after prostrating surrounding nations, and vanquishing all external resistance to their revolutionary despotism at home, without the shadow of necessity, with no discernible motive, other than to confirm their usurpation and extend the sphere of their domination abroad—These implacable TYRANTS obstinately and remorselessly persist in prolonging the calamities of mankind and seem resolved as far as they can to multiply and perpetuate them. Acting upon the pretension to universal empire, they have at length in fact, tho' not in name, decreed war against all nations not in league with themselves; and towards this country, in particular, they add to a long train of unprovoked aggressions and affronts the insupportable outrage of refusing to receive the extraordinary ambassadors whom we sent to endeavour to appease and conciliate. Thus have they, in regard to us, filled up the measure of national insult and humiliation. 'Tis not in their power, unless we
are accomplices in the design, to sink us lower. 'Tis only in our own power to do this by an abject submission to their will.
But though a knowledge of the true character of the citizens of this country will not permit it to be supposed that a majority either in our public councils or in the community can be so degraded or infatuated; yet to the firm and independent lover of his country, there are appearances at once mortifying and alarming.
Among those who divide our legislative councils, we perceive hitherto, on the one side unremitting efforts to justify or excuse the despots of France, to vilify and discredit our own government, of course to destroy its necessary vigor, and to distract the opinions and to damp the zeal of our citizens, what is worse, to divert their affections from their own to a foreign country; on the other side, we have as yet seen neither expanded views of our situation, nor measures at all proportioned to the seriousness and extent of the danger. While our independence is menaced, little more is heard than of guarding our trade, and this too in very feeble and tremulous accents.
In the community, though in a founder state than its representatives, we discover the vestiges of the same divisions which pervade our councils. A few, happily a contemptible few, prostituted to a foreign enemy, seem willing that their country should become a province to France. Some of these dare even to insinuate the treasonable and parriacidal sentiment, that in case of invasion, they would join the standard of France. Another and a more considerable part are weak enough to appear disposed to sacrifice our commerce, to endure every indignity and even to become tributary, rather than to encounter war or increase the chances of it; as if a nation could preserve any rights, could even retain its freedom, which should conduct itself on the principle of passive obedience to injury and outrage; as if the debasement of the public mind did not include the debasement of the individual mind and the dereliction of whatever adorns or exalts human nature; as if there could be any security in compounding with tyranny and injustice by degrading compliances; as if submission to the existing violations of our sovereignty would not invite still greater, and what the appetite to devour us by the allurements of an unrelenting prey; as if war was ever to be averted by betraying unequivocally a pusillanimous dread of it as the greatest of all evils.
This country, had doubtless powerful motives to cultivate peace. It was its policy, for the sake of this object, to go a great way in yielding secondary interests, and to meet injury with patience as long as it could be done without the manifest abandonment of essential rights; without absolute dishonor. But to do more than this is suicide in any people who have the least chance of contending with effect. The conduct of our government has corresponded with the cogent inducements to a pacific system. Towards Great-Britain it displayed forbearance—towards France it has shown humility. In the case of Great-Britain, its moderation was attended with success. But the inexorable arrogance and rapacity of the oppressors of unhappy France bar all the avenues to reconciliation as well as to redress, accumulating upon us injury and insult till there is no choice left but between resistance and infamy.
My countrymen! can ye hesitate which to prefer? can ye consent to taste the brutalizing cup of disgrace, to wear the livery of foreign masters, to put on the hateful fetters of foreign bondage? Will it make any difference to you that the badge of your servitude is a cap rather than an epaulet? Will tyranny be less odious because five instead of one inflict the rod?—What is there to deter you from the manful vindication of your rights and your honor?
With an immense ocean rolling between the United States and France—with ample materials for ship-building, and a body of hardy seamen more numerous and more expert than France can boast, with a population exceeding five millions, spread over a wide extent of country, offering no one point, the seizure of which, as of the great capitals of Europe, might decide the issue, with a soil liberal of all the productions that give strength and resource, with the rudiments of the most essential manufactures capable of being developed in proportion to our wants, with a numerous, and in many quarters well appointed militia, with respectable revenues and a flourishing credit, with many of the principle sources of taxation yet untouched, with considerable arseals and the means of extending them, with experienced officers ready to form an army under the command of the same illustrious chief who, before led them to victory and glory, and who, if the occasion should require it, could not hesitate to obey the summons of his country—what a striking and encouraging contrast does this situation in many respects present, to that in which we defied the thunder of Britain? what is there in it to excuse or palliate the cowardice and baseness of a tame surrender of our rights to France?
The question is unnecessary. The people of America are neither idiots nor dastards. They did not break one yoke to put on another. Though a portion of them have been hitherto misled; yet not even these, still less the great body of the nation, can be long unaware of the true situation, or blind to the treacherous arts by which they are attempted to be hoodwinked. The unfaithful and guilty leaders of a foreign faction, unmasked in all their intrinsic deformity, must quickly shrink from the scene, appalled and confounded. The virtuous whom they have led astray will renounce their exotic standard. Honest men of all parties will unite to maintain and defend the honor and the sovereignty of their country. The crisis demands it. 'Tis folly to doubt. The despots of France are waging
war against us. Intoxicated with success and the inordinate love of power, they virtually threaten our independence. All amicable means have in vain been tried towards accommodation. The problem now to be solved is whether we will maintain or surrender our sovereignty. To maintain it with firmness is the most sacred of duties, the most glorious of tasks. The happiness of our country, the honor of the American name demands it. The genius of Independence exhorts to it. The secret morning voice of oppressed millions in the very country whose despotism menaces us, admonish to it by their suffering example. The offended dignity of man commands us not to be accessory to its further degradation. Reverence to the SUPREME GOVERNOR of the universe enjoins us not to bow the knee to the modern TITANS who erect their impious crests against him and vainly imagine they can subvert his eternal throne.
But 'tis not enough to resist. 'Tis requisite to resist with energy. That will be a narrow view of our situation which does not contemplate, that we may be called, at our very doors to defend our independence and liberty, and which does not provide against it, by bringing into activity and completely organizing all the resources of our country. A respectable naval force, ought to protect our commerce, and a respectable army ought both to diminish the temptation to invasion, by lessening the apparent chance of success, and to guarantee us, not only against the final success of such an attempt, but against the serious though partial calamities, which in that case would certainly await us, if we have to rely on militia alone against the enterprising of veteran troops, drenched in blood and slaughter and led by a skillful and daring chief!

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY—APRIL 4.
The bill authorizing an expenditure, and making an appropriation for the reimbursement of money advanced by the Consuls of the United States in foreign countries, was read the third time and passed.
Mr. Livingston reported a bill declaring the assent of Congress to two acts of the state of North-Carolina therein mentioned, which was twice read and committed.
Mr. D. Foster, from the committee of claims, made a report on the petition of Joshua Green, who prays for an increase of his pension, and that it may be paid in future in the state of Pennsylvania, instead of New-York. The report states, that no legislative interference is necessary in the latter case and that it is not expedient to grant the former. Concurred in.
Mr. Sitgreaves presented the petition of John Vaughan, of this city, merchant, stating that he lodged a quantity of silver bullion, in the mint, between the first of January and the 21st of November, 1795, for which he received a warrant for 230,888 ounces of sterling silver, which was issued upon the report of the then Assayer of the mint, whose assays were calculated at the rate of nine parts fine to one part of alloy, and not at the rate of 1485 fine to 179 alloy, as the law requires, by which deviation from the law, he has suffered a loss of 2,260 dollars, and on which account he prays relief.
Mr. Sitgreaves moved to refer this petition to a select committee; but this course being objected to by Mr. Macon who said it properly came under the business of the committee of claims, it was referred to that committee.
Mr. Otis proposed a resolution to the house, calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for a statement of the shipping belonging to the different districts of the United States; when,
Mr. Gallatin observing that it would be best to adopt a similar resolution to the one formerly agreed upon, including foreign, as well as domestic shipping, the following was agreed to:
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to lay before the house, a statement, exhibiting the tonnage of shipping belonging to the several districts of the United States, at the last period for which an account can be prepared, distinguishing the registered from the enrolled and licenced tonnage; also, a comparative statement of the tonnage of vessels employed in the trade between the United States and Foreign Countries, from Jan. 1st, 1795, to the latest period at which an account can be made up, distinguishing the foreign from the domestic tonnage.
Mr. Kittera wished the house to take up the bill which he reported on Monday, respecting authorizing certain officers to administer oaths.
Mr. Allen hoped the galleries would be cleared, in order that they might again go into the consideration of the confidential communication from the President of yesterday.
Mr. Gallatin supposed that that business would not occupy much time, it would be best deferred till the close of the sitting, and in the mean time go on with other business.
Mr. Allen said, he wished to take up the confidential business, as he supposed the papers would be made public, and he was desirous that it should be decided upon as early as possible.
Mr. Gallatin said, that it was the gentleman's intention, he had no objection. The galleries were cleared accordingly; and the whole of the sitting was occupied with this business. We have not learnt that any vote was taken with respect to the printing the papers, or for taking off the secrecy from the farther consideration of them. Adjourmed.
General Williams, in his observations on Monday, in favour of the new Militia Bill
which proposes the establishment of a select corps of young men of the age of 18 and under the age of 24 years; and a reserved corps of persons of 24 and under the age of 40. Estimated the expense attending the present system as far beyond what it is generally thought to be, and considerably more than the system proposed would be. He supposes there are now about 600,000 men enrolled, who at least spend six days a year in the militia service, which if reckoned at a dollar a day (including expenses) amounts to 3,600,000 dollars per annum. By the bill now proposed it is supposed the select corps will consist of about 150,000 men who are to be employed, about twelve days in a year; the reserved corps about 350,000, to be called out only one day in the year; so that the differences of expense in favour of the new system, would amount to 1,265,000 dollars. Besides, the present system, he said, exonerates one-fifth of the people from the service, by exceptions in favour of officers of various kinds, which he deemed unequal and unjust. In fine, that the present system is burdensome, at the same time that it is inadequate to the defence of the country, and if not amended, would be the means of introducing into this country, what is the bane of all free government a STANDING ARMY.
NEW-YORK, April 2.
From Lausanne we learn that on the 25th of January, the green flag was displayed at the house where the committee of Union were assembled, with this inscription, "The Alemannic Republic." Green, it is said, was the color of William Tell, and other Swiss patriots. All the citizens decorated themselves with the green cockade. The armed force assembled and proclaimed citizen Debons commander. The troops proceeded to plant Liberty poles on the square St. Francois, amidst the most vivid acclamations of "long live liberty" "long live the Alemannic Republic."
General Weiss is preparing to defend the Swiss territory, and General Medart is collecting troops and artillery to maintain the new Alemannic Republic. A war with Switzerland at least with Berne, seems inevitable. This necessarily will involve the whole Helvetic confederacy unless French intrigue has dissolved it.
The important crisis of Europe has determined the court of Denmark to issue orders to the military commander in chief to recruit with activity and to augment the number of those employed in the artillery, and to complete the corps of Chasseurs. It is supposed these troops are destined to preserve the neutrality of Denmark and her possessions in the neighborhood of the Elbe. It is also reported that twelve ships will be put in commission, and a cordon of troops established on the frontiers of Holstein.
The French papers announce that an open animosity already exists between the young King of Sweden and his house.
Two French citizens at Toulon have invented a new hydraulic machine, which it is said will enable a person to travel on the bottom of the ocean.
Query. Will not these machines be more eligible for conveying Frenchmen to England, than the rafts.
NASSAU, (N. P.) Feb. 20.
An order of council was issued on the 20th of November, granting permission to Spanish vessels having not more than one deck, to trade between the free ports of Jamaica and the Bahamas, and the Spanish colonies in America, according to the several regulations of the free port act, notwithstanding the present hostilities; and also allowing the same liberty to British vessels licensed for that purpose by the governors of Jamaica and Bahamas. Instructions are in consequence issued to the commanders, not to molest the vessels, British or Spanish, regularly so licensed, and bona fide employed in the said trade.
March 2.
Admiral Sir Hyde Parker's squadron, said to consist of 25 sail, including frigates and sloops, had been several weeks in sight of Havanna, and excited very serious alarm. Provisions, stores, &c. were daily carried into the Moro, &c. to prepare for a siege. The Spanish corvettes were blocked upon in Marannoa, and it was expected would be cut out by the British.
American vessels were suffered to go in and come out of the Havannah, without molestation.
BERMUDA, Feb. 10.
Sunday arrived and came too in Five Fathom Hole, his majesty's ship Thetis, of 38 guns, the hon. A. T. Cochrane, Esq. commander; and his majesty's ship Porcupine, of 24 guns, C. D. Pater, Esq. commander, both from Hampton Roads, with fars, &c. for the naval yard here; but on Monday it blew a heavy gale, and in the night they were obliged to put to sea again. On Wednesday the wind being fair, they failed into Murray's anchorage. They sail again on a cruise in a few days.
By an order, it is said, of the admiralty, the naval yard here is to be furnished with spars of all kinds for such of his majesty's ships as may call in to be refitted, which are to be brought by such frigates as come from America occasionally. Two other frigates are daily looked for with more.
Some time since his majesty's ships Thetis and Prevoyante, on their cruise, looked into the Havanna, and although they were close in with the harbor, no ships offered to come out to them, although there were several of the line lying at anchor, as well as frigates.
March 3.
Yesterday failed his majesty's ship Hind, Esq. Larcom, for New-Providence, in which went passenger his excellency, governor Dowdeswell, appointed to the Bahamas.

NO. V. AND LAST. On an EXAMINATION of the late ALARMING attempts in Congress...
FELLOW CITIZENS!
I have considered in detail the various rights, powers and duties of the several branches of our government...
But can Mr. Gallatin, or Mr. Nicholas, point us to the example of the house of commons having exercised, or claimed a power like the one contended for by them?
"Our friends" and Mr. Gallatin's countrymen the French, have lately made an essay upon a "checked and balanced" government.
This objection is solid, I therefore pass to the consideration of our practice, in the several states as well as in Congress.
In the construction of all public as well as private contracts, the most natural, certainly the fairest and most proper rule, is to aim at the discovery of the objects and intentions of the contracting parties.
Substantially our ancestors throughout New England, adopted the English form of government. They established that beautiful and regular system...

MY FELLOW CITIZENS!
It was reserved for a Frenchman to have the honor of introducing this "new light" into our national assembly.
A Censor, which I consider the same, in the year 1796, generously offered to teach us how we might render our constitution a dead letter.
Albert Gallatin first erected the standard of the house in hostility to the constitution, and Nicholas, Livingston, Freeman, Skinner, and other choice spirits soon rallied...
The first attempt was to destroy a treaty, solemnly ratified by two constitutional branches. The second was to strike all the officers of the mint...

MR. DUNNING.
Being a farmer, and not very well acquainted with public affairs, I would wish to be informed on certain points.
1. Are our members of Congress men of character for integrity and honesty, or were they chosen by rogues for their knavery?
2. Have they the same interest in the safety and prosperity of our country as we have in general?
3. Will their being chosen by the people once in two years be likely to have any influence on them to pursue the good of the country?
4. Are our members of Congress men of information; and particularly on politics?
5. Have they as good means of knowledge, as the writers in our news-papers at home by the fire-side?
Now Mr. Dunning, I don't profess to know but little, but, if our members of congress are men of integrity and of information...
honest, good sense and means of knowledge. Who are they?
If any man will show them to me, I will be obliged to him. But if he can't show me men of better character for honesty, and sense and information...
So if he don't show me, that those who call themselves republicans, are more honest men, and better informed, than those who are called friends of Government...

P. S. What is the reason? Mr. Dunning, that the prints are so full of pieces in the spring and fall?
