A letter received at Baltimore, from a respectable merchant in Bremen, mentions that the celebrated Lavater, had been taken prisoner by the French, and it was feared, would be guillotined, in revenge for a severe and cutting, but just address which he sometime since published against them.
MR. FENNO,
IN the Aurora of Monday are the following Arguments against the Election of his honor chief justice McKean.
Under a republican form of government, rotation in office ought to be particularly observed. It must be, in general, injurious to the public interest to retain men for long periods in authoritative stations, because the human mind is so prone to pride, to fond of power, and of the respect usually paid to official character, that it is with difficulty, and with deep regret, that many persons resign their public functions, after having long possessed them. Ambitious men are fond of pre-eminence, but are not very desirous to acquire a superiority over their fellow-citizens by their personal virtues. Much are and address is generally made use of by such characters to acquire places of rank and confidence; possession of which feeds their vanity, and adds to their ideas of self-complacency. During a long incumbency, arrogance and insolence are acquired, and when the individual holds his office from the appointment of one man, or only a few, he will be careful to please and to flatter them, and willing to act as a necessary tool for the promotion of improper or base designs, while by the people he is regarded as a haughty, over-bearing despot. To retire to private life, to be melted down into the mass of the community, is always dreaded by the man who is enamoured with the charms of magistracy.
But where officers are held for stated periods only, and the appointments prohibited from being constantly the same individuals; the public are better served, and the duties annexed to important stations more ably and better discharged. A spirit of emulation is excited in a people where the public officers are stationary. The candidates are careful of their characters, and endeavour by their patriotism to procure the suffrages of the people. When elections are annual, magistrates are generally active, and endeavour so to shine while in office; being regularly changed, they have not time to be corrupted by bad habits, or to be tainted with the hauteur and petulantia, so often the concomitants of men too long in power. Under monarchies, all those who attend upon the latter are severely felt, and in vain deplored: But republicans ought to be aware of the danger and inconvenience of not preserving the necessary rotation of their national, municipal or other functionaries.
To the Author of No. 5, addressed to the Managers of the Alms House and House of Employ.
"OH! that mine enemy would write a book," was a pious ejaculation and applies with double force against you in every piece which the public has been favored with—but your No. 5 (No. 4 deferred no notice) exceeds them all in point of deception and error. So zealous have you been to expose men who have no interest in their office but the public weal; and who devote many precious hours (exclusive of expense) to execute the duties imposed by law, that you really have discovered to every intelligent mind the blackest heart that ever disgraced the bosom of a christian.
First on the profits of labor. In 1797 the profits of the labor of 417 paupers was £465 9 8 3/4 In 1799 the profits of the labor of 605 paupers was £87 6 4
Bal. against you on this count £378 3 4 3/4 What a glorious discovery, for a busy meddling-toul like yours: the transports of angels could not have exceeded those which this delightful "comparison" filled your bosom. But these transports shall not last long. The greatest pleasure often produces the greatest pain: and now have you at.
Again you say, In 1797 your debts unpaid for which orders were given, were £1310 0 7 3/4 In 1799 your debts unpaid for which orders were given, were £7422 4 9 3/4
Now on both these comparative statements you have pitched upon the most unfavorable period that have occurred since the establishment of the institution. In 1797 the accounts then published for one year, and from which you take the sum of £1310 0 7 3/4, was for the year preceding 25th March in the
said year 1797; and the latter sum embraces the one year preceding the 25th March 1799. The first period therefore embraced a year entirely void of the calamities and disadvantages which were experienced by the managers during the year 1798, which were alone sufficient for producing the derangements which above, exclusive of the derangements which the fever of 1797 produced. Therefore the comparison is unjust and unfair. In a little uncommon for such witnesses as you appear to be, you jocularly tell us, that the foregoing is a specimen of modern times, and in place of throwing some light on the subject which you appear to make such a handle of, you go to the manufacturing part of the business, and shew to all the world that near 30 years ago this manufacturing business began to decline, and with one eye you can discover a decrease in the articles manufactured yearly, and every year since the year 1770. To prove which I shall form a table and omit the jargon of nonsense which has no foundation or authenticity but your say so. I mean your mats and points, and weaving on hire, and sundry items of this kind which are unworthy notice.
Table with 2 columns: Articles Manufactured, Year. Rows include Years (1770-1779), Number of Looms, Number of Persons, Points of Linen, Yarns of Linen, Stockings, Hats, Woolens, made up, Linen, Number of Persons, Years.
Thus by the foregoing statement it appears that as the number of paupers increased, the quantity of articles manufactured decreased, for 417 persons in the year 1797 did not earn upon a nice calculation one fourth as much as 605 persons earned in 1770. (I suppose you was a manager in 1770) you certainly would never have offered such a comparative statement as this, to prove the declension of labour in the Alms-House, under the present system: you certainly was not in the possession of common understanding, when you brought this "comparison" forward, unless, indeed, your "mats and points and cloathing for the Pennsylvania Hospital," was to cover the nakedness of your "comparison" and make up the lee way of your drifting intent; now, sir, or madam, or whatever you are, let me offer you a comparative statement:
In 1770, when you In 1799, three of did more work than the present Managers you have ever done had only been in four times, and which, by monthly, the fever the bye, wants some prevented their taking thing more than your upon them the duties bare assertion, to prove of their office till November in place of the present Managers took their seats at the board on the day after the date of the accounts now in question were made up to:
In 1770, more than In 1799, by a late grants than paupers, vagrants and such were admitted, because persons heretofore admitted were the law designated that played in the Alms as a proper place for House, were sent to employing such persons in the common prison, fons; nine tenths of and infirm old decrepit who are able to be persons and young children were alone admitted to be proper objects for the care of the "Guardians of the poor."
In 1770, two hundred and ninety persons were admitted to (not of the same the Alms-House, when description of persons as the population was you ignorantly assert) about one fourth of all of them poor, the present population needy, decrepit, in the city, which firm persons, not one proves the great pro- in twenty able to do portion of idle persons the least work and sent in as vagrants, scarcely able to clean and who were capable their own apartments, of working.
Upon the slightest examination of the foregoing comparison, an intelligent mind will readily discover that every thing is in favor of the present management. Little more than double the number of persons are now in the house than was in it during the year 1770, although the population of the city has increased four fold: and had not the calamity occasioned by the fever been experienced, I am convinced there would not have been more than in 1770. I should be glad, however, to know why you stopped at the year 1770, or indeed why you went so far back. If some deep, malignant design did not lurk at the bottom of your "well meant address," would you have gone farther back to look for comparisons than the period when the law placed the institution upon its present footing? As well might you have gone to the prison and compared the work of the hale, healthy, strong persons employed there, as to have made a comparison between the manufacturers of 1770 and 1799. Such barefaced impositions as these will never answer. It requires well authenticated facts to shake the humanity of the citizens of Philadelphia. Bold assertions, equivocating and perplexing comparisons will not do: and as I before observed, your drift is well understood by me, and will very soon be understood by every person within the city and district. Men governed by such principles as you possess, or at least appear to possess, if I may judge from your writings, ought to be very cautious indeed. It is not the number of pieces which will produce conviction on the citizens possessing the candor and foresight of the people of Philadelphia; and I am now firmly of opinion that had you stopped short on the publication of No. 4 your views would have been much better answered: but you remind me of an old proverb, which is fully verified in you: "give a man (I mean such a one as you) rope enough and he will hang himself." This I take for granted will be the case, and as you have discovered so much treachery in your comparison, and brought forward statements upon such unfair grounds I shall henceforth hold it beneath me to pursue you further: under a well founded conviction that the present managers, as well as those for some years back, have done every thing in their power for the public interest, and that they will continue to do so I firmly believe. Therefore any thing which you can offer in future will be viewed, I trust, in the same light which your conduct has from the first appeared to me, the offspring of a malignant, bale inverteracy against every principle of humanity and benevolence.
COMMUNICATION.
Suffolk County, New Jersey, 5th July, 1799.
Yesterday, being the Anniversary of the Independence of the United States a respectable company of Ladies, and Gentlemen, from Easton, Greenwich, Oxford Furnace, and Belvidere, assembled under an arbour upon the bank of the Pequannock—to commemorate that eventful day, and at the same time to testify, in the most unequivocal manner, their perfect approbation of the existing Laws and Government of the United States, as they respect both her foreign, and domestic concerns. A collation suited to the occasion was prepared under the direction of majors Hoops and Paul, capt. Ball and Mr. Samuel Showers, at which Thomas Bullman Esq. Presided, major Robert Deane, vice-President—When internal dissensions, and foreign influence, are threatening to subvert our Government, by sacrilegiously destroying our altars, which at such a vast expence of blood and treasure have been raised, and consecrated to Peace and Virtue, it certainly becomes every American, to acknowledge with the most heartfelt gratitude the obligations which are due to those illustrious characters, under whose guidance we have been led to the temple of National honor and greatness. Impressed forcibly with these sentiments the following toasts were unanimously agreed to, and given.
1. The day—May it ever be regarded by Americans, as the glorious birth day of their national freedom. 2. The United States—May neither foreign influence, nor domestic dissention lead them from their duty. 3. The President of the United States. 4. General George Washington—May the affection and gratitude of his Countrymen, be as permanent as his public services, and private virtues are illustrious. 5. The Congress of 1776. 6. The Majority of the Congress of the United States, may they retain their virtuous ascendancy, and may their deliberations be guided by wisdom, unanimity and firmness. 7. The general Government—May it be energetic in the Executive, and in the judiciary impartial; and may every enemy to it, feel its weight, and perish. 8. May skill, candor, and integrity characterize our public servants. 9. The Governor of the State of New Jersey. 10. The militia of New Jersey, who are resolved never to shun danger, when the honour of their Government requires support. 11. The memory of those brave, and virtuous Men, who fell in defence of our National rights. 12. May the principles of RATIONAL freedom be established and revered throughout the union. 13. May the accusing angel be vigilant, and the recording angel correct in handing to infamy, the names of those who oppose, in any degree whatever the laws of our Country. 14. The Army and Navy of the United States—May they ever continue a Bulwark against those, who would build their greatness, on their country's ruin. 15. May every disorganizer be an Infurgent and every where meet with a Truxon. 16. May the pure spirit which gave birth to this day never degenerate.
Toasts drank at New-Brunswick (N. J.) on the 4th of July.
The American Eagle, may his talons ever teach the Gallic Cock his proper distance. The Army and Navy of the United States. May our power explore every inlet of the habitable globe—our flag ride triumphant on every ocean—may impartiality wield the sword of justice, and impetuosity the sword of war. Public spirit—while it rouses us in opposition to foreign hostility, may it secure us against foreign intrigue. The nations of the earth—united by one common nature, may they feel but one common interest, the happiness of each other. When the implements of war are necessary to defend our Country's rights or resent her wrongs, may coolness take aim and courage draw the trigger. The American Navy—may its yearly increase and success, be in geometrical proportion—3 cheers. The brave capt. Truxon of the Constellation, his officers and crew—may the same spirit and success inspire and attend the whole American navy—3 cheers. Buonaparte and his army in Egypt—may they be beaten to hard labour, and when they complain may the answer from their task master be, ye are idle—6 cheers. The French fleet at sea—may it be safely conducted by an English Squadron into a British port—3 cheers. Generals Pinckney and Marshall our late envoys to the land of villainy and hypocrisy—may their country revere and reward their tried wisdom, and incorruptible integrity. Timothy Pickering, that great republican. Oliver Wolcott, that sagacious, indefatigable, and upright financier. Benjamin Stoddert, under his faithful hands may our navy grow to be the bulwark of our commerce and our shores. Drunk at Kingston, (N. J.) May those radicals in America, that oppose our happy government, be speedily transported to their beloved France, and feel about their necks the mild authority of those philosophers of liberty. Buonaparte and his plundering army—may the devil soon claim his own in all false Mahometans. Marshal Suwarow—may the old Russian bear crush the monkeys between his teeth. The American Navy—may our oaks rush to the main to defend those lands which they now adorn. The gallant Truxon, who only wants a fleet like Nelson, like him to be the Fugitive. Our brave townsmen, Thomas Tiugey, and the other commanders of our navy—may they soon clear the ocean of its pirates.

THE
BAVIAD

By WILLIAM GIFFORD, Esquire.
To which is prefixed,
A POETICAL EPISTLE TO THE AUTHOR
By an American Gentleman.
[In introducing this celebrated work to the Gentlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to the taste of those for whose amusement and delight it is intended. No expense has been spared in the publication; and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America.]
This edition has an advantage over former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to admire the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations.
37 Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Somerville, Maiden Lane, New York; also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Hysten and other places, as soon as associations offer.]

The Swift-Sure, A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of Buffalo, Newtown, Scotch-Plains, Springfield and Newark. THE excellence of this road, the populousness of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswic, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Thorough-Fare from Philadelphia to New York. During the present year, a minute survey of it has been taken, and its superiority over the Old Road, both in winter and summer, has been clearly ascertained.—There are good bridges over all the other waters but the Delaware, and here the crossing is performed with great safety and in less than half the time required at the Trenton Ferry. The road is several miles shorter than the old road, but this is amongst the least of its advantages, because daily experience proves to us, that dispatch as well as economy in travelling principally depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country, and, in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It presents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The soil, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little all in summer, which circumstance, added to the beauty of the country, and a considerable proportion of shade, will always render travelling in the latter season peculiarly agreeable. The Swift-Sure starts from PHILADELPHIA at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth street. It goes through Frankford to Buffalo, where it stops to breakfast; from Buffalo it goes through Newtown to Pennypack; from Pennypack through Hopewell, Millstone, Boundbrook, Quibbletown and Plainfield to Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it stops at Springfield to breakfast, from whence it goes through Newark and arrives at New-York at noon. From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For seats at New-York, application may be made to Edward Martin, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtlandt, corner of Greenwich street, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 42, Broad street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars. Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile. Each passenger is allowed to take on 14 lbs. of baggage carriage free; but all other baggage, taken on by a passenger, will be charged at 4 cents per pound weight. With respect to packages sent on without passengers, the proprietors presume they have adopted a regulation, which, though unknown to other lines of stages, they think must meet with general approbation. They pledge themselves to make good every package on the following conditions. The person who delivers the package at the office shall see it entered in the stage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; he will then state the value of the package, and pay (exclusive of the carriage) one per cent. on the value, as insurance, and for which he will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance, if he estimates his package at one dollar, he will pay one cent. and if at one hundred dollars, he will pay one dollar insurance, and in like proportion for packages of any other value. Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike this regulation; it will, however, be optional with every one to avail himself of this security or not. But the proprietors think it right to state very explicitly, that they will be responsible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insurance receipt cannot be produced. In the distribution of the route, the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and stages as always afford a good accommodation and entertainment for the passengers at the most reasonable rates. The stages are well equipped furnished with fleet and steady horses, and committed to the care of intelligent sober and obliging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the persons they employ is continually an object of their attention.—They take care also to see that the passengers are well provided for and politely treated at the taverns, and that no sort of chicanery or insolence is practised upon them; in short, they have spared neither pains nor expense to render the SWIFT-SURE the very best line of stages in America. The line has now run nearly a month, during which time a great number of gentlemen have gone through, both from Philadelphia and New-York. Every passenger has found the road to surpass very far all that has been said of its excellence; and the Proprietors of the Swift-Sure are extremely happy to hear the behaviour of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns, spoken of with the highest satisfaction.
