At the Federal Blast Furnace, In Carbon for Slitting, Planing, and Rolling Mills. SEYMOUR's Patent Rollers. THEIR superiority consists in being free from holes and honey-combed places, which are commonly found in rollers cast in sand, or clay moulds.

Another important advantage they have over others, is, that the necks require no turning, but are immediately fit for use, and from their accuracy, run with less friction, and require less water to make them perform their work. They may be had by application to the Patentee in Plymouth, of Gen. Nathaniel Goodwin, or of Messrs. Thatcher and Hayward. Boston, Aug. 31. Sept. 19—6t

LETTER from Mr. PICKERING Secretary of State, to the Chevalier DE TRUJO, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Catholic Majesty to the United States of America. (Concluded from the Puffington Gazette. )
DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
Philadelphia, August 8th, 1797.
On this, as well as on another occasion, you have thought fit to upbraid me with shewing to the British minister a degree of candour and confidence which you insinuate he does not deserve, and which, you seem to think, I have withheld from you. Yet, Sir, all the declarations made to me by that minister, verbally and in writing, touching the points in controversy between you and me, have been verified. As I have already said, you declared to me that you had just reasons for suspecting that an expedition was preparing on the lakes by the English, in order to attack Upper Louisiana. The British minister, in the first instance, assured me that he had no knowledge of it—and his subsequent inquiries enabled him further to assure me, that no such expedition had been or was intended by the British government. And I have in another place offered other reasons which confirm the truth of these assurances. Yet you tell me that the assurance given me by the British minister, but without any signature , did not inspire the servants of his Catholic Majesty with the same blind confidence which it produced in me. I shall take no other notice of this remark, than to put you right in point of fact. The note of the British minister containing the assurance to which you refer, is not "without a signature." This (like other official notes from that minister) has his signature—his name written with his own hand—at the head of it.
You declared to me "that you knew to a certainty that the English had made propositions to general Clarke, of Georgia, in order to avail themselves of his influence in that state, together with some other persons, for making a diversion, or serious attack against Florida." The British minister informed me, that although he knew nothing of general Clarke or his expedition from Georgia, a proposition had been made to him (the British minister) for an expedition against the Floridas; but that he told the projector that he had no power to authorize it: and besides, that there were among other objections to the plan, two of great weight—one that the Indians were to be employed—the other, that it would violate the neutral rights of the United States. The British minister has since shown me an original letter from lord Grenville, dated the 8th of last April, in which he informs the minister, that if there were no other objections to the plan, the two mentioned by him, viz. that it could not be executed without employing the Indians—and without violating the rights of the United States, would be sufficient to induce the British government to reject it. This proves, Sir, that Mr. Linton's declarations on this point were not "vague and unauthentic" as you pronounce them, but in strict conformity with truth.
As to general Clarke of Georgia, the British minister declared he had never even heard of him; and the extract of the letter from Mr. Jackson, the district attorney of Georgia, respecting gen. Clarke and any expedition forming there, in behalf of the English against the Floridas, will incline every candid inquirer at least to doubt whether such a project has ever been proposed to him. We shall afterwards see that Mr. Blount's plot does not appear to have any connection with an expedition under general Clarke.
Thus you see, Sir, that I have not blindly placed a confidence in the British minister: for aught that has yet appeared, he was entitled to the credit he has received.
I return to your letter. You mention your communications to the baron de Carondelet respecting the intended expedition from Canada: from that moment, you say, imperious necessity, and the great principle of self-defence, made his Catholic Majesty's officers turn their thoughts to objects of a more urgent nature than running the boundary line. And here you introduce "Mr. Blount's letter, and the late detected conspiracy, as evincing how far their conduct in this respect was necessary." It is wonderful, Sir, that you should attempt to make it be believed that Mr. Blount's letter and the late detected conspiracy, had any connection with the expedition which you suggested was preparing on the lakes of Canada against Upper Louisiana. All that is yet discovered of Mr. Blount's project or conspiracy, proves that it was to have been formed in one of the states south of the river Ohio ; and that it was designed against the Floridas, and perhaps Lower Louisiana. I therefore, feel myself, for this and the other reasons before exhibited, ill warranted in considering the suspected Canada expedition among the pretexts for delaying to evacuate the posts, and to run the boundary line: and consequently that your charge, that I have in this instance "palpably attempted to make groundless and unfair impressions on the public mind," is alike unfounded and unbecoming your public character to suggest.
In your next paragraph you thus address me. "Nor do you ill-founded insinuations stop here: sentiments and expressions still more violent, flow from that same hasty pen." This passage is in perfect correspondence with the general strain of your letter. Whether your charge is correctly made, is now to be examined.
I am ready to confess that my report this stigmatized was, from the paucity of
business, written in haste: but a revision of it satisfies me, nevertheless, that it is not inaccurate in its statements.
You quote the passage in my report which has called forth this reproach; it is in these words: "That there is but too much reason to believe Mr. Elliott's suspicions well founded, that an undue influence has been exercised over the Indians by the officers of his Catholic Majesty, to prepare them for a rupture with the United States." And then you say that I mention the source of these "dreadful conjectures" to be, a private letter from Mr. Sargent, Secretary of the North Western Territory. Here you are extremely incorrect; as usual when you undertake to recite my conclusions, and the facts and circumstances upon which they are formed. It is from "a view of the whole correspondence" referred to in my reports of the 10th of June and 30th of July—On the intelligence received by the Secretary of War—and the private letter from colonel Sargent, that I drew the conclusion you have quoted.
Mr. Elliott formed his suspicions on the spot, from what was passing before him; and he is not a careless or un discerning observer.
General Wilkinson says—"Letters from all quarters announce the discontented and menacing aspect of the Savages; two white men have been recently murdered on the Ohio below the Cumberland; and the Savages beyond the Mississippi, and those who pass Massac, make no hesitation to avow their purpose for war." And, then he refers to a letter from colonel Hamtramck, who commands the United States troops at Detroit, in which the colonel says—"I am pretty sure that both the French and Spaniards have emissaries among the Indians. I have it from indubitable authority , that a large belt [by which is meant a Speech] from the Spaniards is now traveling through the different nations;" meaning the nations within the territories of the United States.
Colonel Sargent writes, it is true, a private letter ; but it is to a public officer; and his situation as Secretary and Governor for the time, of the North Western Territory, would render it his duty to be vigilant for its safety; and his character vouches for the accuracy of his information; and you do not question the truth of any part of his statement.
After mentioning that the Spaniards were re-inforcing their upper posts on the Mississippi, that upwards of three hundred men had arrived at St. Louis and were erecting formidable works; he adds—"It likewise appears, through various channels, that they are inviting a great number of Indians of the territory (meaning of the United States, North West of the Ohio) to cross the Mississippi: And for this express purpose, Mr. Loramie, an officer in the pay of the crown, made a tour through all this country last fall; since which time several Indians have been sent on the same errand, and generally furnished with plenty of cash to defray their expenses"—A large party of Delawares passed down White River about the 6th of May, on their way to the Spanish side bearing the national flag of Spain, sent them from St. Louis."
Lieutenant Pope, in his letter of May 9th, to the Secretary of War, says, "There have been several attempts made to draw on the Indians upon my troops: I have fully ascertained this fact, and demanded of the Governor to have a principal actor immediately brought to punishment, or sent out of the country. He has been sent for, and is now on board one of the Gallies, which is now about descending the river"—And, Sir, if you enquire, you will find that this "principal actor" (Rapels by name) was one of Governor Gayoso's agents.
These, Sir, are the grounds on which I expressed the opinion, That there was but too much reason to believe Mr. Elliott's suspicions well founded, that the officers of Spain had exercised an undue influence over the Indians to prepare them for a rupture with the United States.
This detail, Sir, strikingly shews how little you have understood, and how entirely you have misrepresented my reasoning on this subject. I leave you to reconcile your reflections on the British Minister and his nation for their inhumanity in employing the Indians in the American war, with your justification of the Spanish officers at this time, in securing the aid of the Indians in your war with the British. "The Spaniards (you say) have fortified St. Louis and availed themselves of EVERY MEANS OF DEFENCE which the country afforded;" meaning by the ingenious expression every means of defence which the country afforded , the employing of the Indians.
You are pleased next to charge me, in your customary style, with "falling into the most glaring inconsistency," because I remark that although, "it may be difficult to say whether this plan of exciting the Indians to direct hostilities against the United States, has been contemplated and promoted by any of our own citizens; yet it is certain that one or more of those citizens have proposed and taken measures to detach the Southern Indians from the interests of the United States, and to destroy the influence of the public agents over those nations, and thus to defeat the great objects of their appointments; the chief of which is to preserve peace."
Having quoted this passage from my report, you ask "How is it possible to reconcile such evident contradictions? On the one hand the Spanish officers are those who excite the Southern Indians against the United States, and on the other you quickly follow presuming, with sufficient foundation in my opinion, that it may be some citizens of the United States." Allow me, Sir, to ask you turn, how it was possible for you not to see that there is no contradiction? Is it not very possible that the Spanish officers might be counting the Chickasaws, who live above the Natchez, with large presents, and be preparing the Chac-
taws, who dwell along the Natchez district, and the Delawares, Shawanees, Miamis, and other tribes dwelling in the territory north-west of the Ohio, for war against the United States; while Mr. Blount and his agents were detaching the southern tribes of Cherokees and Creeks from the interests of the United States, and eventually to aid the British in an enterprize against the Floridas? The Cherokees and Creeks, you might have seen, were the only Indian nations mentioned in Governor Blount's letter. And is it not very possible, if these two nations should thus be led to war against the Spanish possessions, that they might not be excited to direct hostilities against the United States? And, therefore, that although Mr. Blount might contemplate the former, he might abstain from the latter? And is it not then my cautious manner of speaking of this latter, perfectly correct?
I am happy to arrive at your last observation. And I with it was not, like the rest, exceptional and incorrect. These are your words—"Respecting the last article of your report, I have only to observe, that altho' you have constantly assured me that government had not the least information respecting the subject of my representations, and although the letter of Mr. Jackson, of Georgia, appears to coincide with your ideas, nevertheless time has shewn that I have complied with my duty by not reposing on such assurances. The plot is discovered, and nobody any longer doubts the expedition was to have taken place."
The expression that "you complied with your duty in not reposing on such assurances" may mean that you thought the assurances deceitful , and, therefore, not meriting belief. Perhaps you did not intend this. Perhaps you meant no more than that the government had been "remiss" in its duty, in not pursuing with eagerness the trains of your various suspicions. But I must shew you that here (as in all other instances) your criticisms are void of foundation, in either point of view.
The last article of the report respects general Clarke of Georgia, to whom you said you knew of a certainty that the English had made propositions in order to avail themselves of his influence in that state, with some other persons, for making a diversion or serious attack against Florida; and you add that "you do not doubt that in consequence of your information, the executive government will take the proper steps that Georgia also should not infringe the laws of neutrality." Here you confine your requests to Georgia , that she might not infringe the laws of neutrality: and my letter to Charles Jackson, esquire, the district attorney of that state, shews that the government took prompt measures to defeat the project of general Clarke and his associates, if such a project existed. I suppose none did exist: You acknowledge that the letter from Mr. Jackson coincides with my ideas. Your "certain knowledge" of an intended expedition in favor of the English from Georgia against Florida , under general Clarke, you have never supported by a shadow of evidence. If you possessed any evidence of the fact, it would be easy to produce it. What you call your "certain knowledge" could rest only on information, or the testimony of others, which might be as false or as vague and inconclusive, as the information about the Canada expedition; which I hope I have proved, to your conviction, never to have existed, even in idea. Yet you declared to me that you had "just reasons for suspecting that expedition was preparing on the lakes;" and hence how can I avoid concluding, that your "certain knowledge" in one case, like your "just reasons" in the other, were without a sufficient foundation.
But you say "The plot is discovered, and nobody any longer doubts that the expedition was to have taken place." Strange remark! Just the reverse of it should have been made. For although there is a discovery of Mr. Blount's plot, its extent is by no means ascertained; and far from nobody doubting, probably every body doubts whether the projected expedition was to have taken place. It was not to be undertaken but in conjunction with a British force—and on the proposal of the expedition to the British government it was totally rejected. Even Mr. Blount, who, if the project was adopted, expected to be at the head of it, ventures no farther than to say he believed that the plan would be attempted, but if attempted, that it would not be till the "fall;" and consequently your zeal in March and April, for which, at the expence of decency towards the American government, you take to yourself so much credit, had then no just object. This zeal of yours is displayed in the information you gave to the baron de Carondelet, in March or April, of the expedition supposed to be preparing in Canada against Upper Louisiana: yet you would now attempt to justify this zeal by the plot of Mr. Blount; although this plot and the Canada expedition were wholly distinct and unconnected.
I shall conclude this long letter with your eleven positions, which you state with as much serious formality as if they were all of them important, and all of them supported by facts or just reasoning. But the details I have given demonstrate that these positions are either unfounded, or simple propositions of not the smallest consequence. These are your positions addressed to me in your own words.
"1. That on the 27th of February I gave you sufficient particulars respecting the intended expedition, to have attracted the attention of this government."
Answer. I have offered reasons to prove that you gave me no particulars, but only mentioned your suspicions, and that you promised to give me your representations in writing; for which, of course, it was proper for me to wait.
"2. That altho' to this verbal communication, I added another in writing on the 2d of March, the President had not the least knowledge of it on the 9th of the same month; and that without doubt you must
have had very powerful motives to prevent you from communicating it to him."
Answer. I have accounted for the delay in a satisfactory manner. I have shewn that I had abundant reason to conclude your suspicions to be wholly unfounded, and for attaching no sort of consequence to them. The event demonstrates that I was right; and that instead of very powerful motives , none were needed for a delay of only four or five days, or for a much longer period; and that to notice your naked suspicions at all, was not an act of necessity, but of complaisance. I might with justice complain of your delay to answer my letter of the 16th of March, on a subject of very high importance to the United States, I mean the evacuation of the posts. I will not say that you were negligent—or "remiss"—but I will say that for a whole month you omitted to give me your short and unsatisfactory answer. The indisposition which you assign as the cause of the delay, did not prevent you from writing on other subjects—nor long from going abroad.
"3. That it does not appear by the documents presented by the Secretary of War, that government had given orders to the military commanders to cause the territory and neutrality of the United States to be respected."
Answer. I have shown that none were necessary to be given.
"4. That you made to the English minister a communication which in my opinion you ought not; and that even if you thought it necessary, you delayed doing it for two months, that is from the 27th of February to the 28th of April, although it respected a most urgent and important object."
Answer. On the 28th of April, I informed you by letter that I had communicated to the British minister your suspicions of an expedition preparing by the English against Upper Louisiana; and as for upwards of two months you expressed no dissatisfaction on account of this communication, I might well conclude you did not think it improper. Nay in your letter of July 11th, which I am now answering, you refer with apparent approbation to this very communication, connected with the declaration which accompanied it to the British minister, that the President could not consent to the march of any troops, either British or Spanish, through the territory of the United States; and you consider it as a "determinate disposition" of the American government on this point. I have also shewn, that admitting this communication to Mr. Linton to be proper, I did not delay doing it for two months nor two weeks; altho' it respected at best but an imaginary project .
"5. That the Baron de Carondelet could very well have received my letters, without its necessarily following that his had come to hand."
Answer. I have shown that you did not understand my reasoning on this point; which went to prove that your answer of the 17th of April to my letter of the 16th of March, about the evacuation of the posts, was wanting in candour.
"6. That the Baron did not represent Mr. Elliott's not writing to him officially as a complaint, but as an observation, and that in fact he never has done it in those terms."
Answer. I have shown that whether the Baron's assertion should have been called a complaint or an observation was perfectly immaterial; I meant to shew it was unfounded; and this you yourself admit.
"7. That the proofs you allege to exculpate Mr. Elliott respecting his intentions of taking the fort of Natchez, by surprise are purely negative."
Answer. I offered them only as negative proofs. Yet when one compliant or assertion against Mr. Elliott was known and acknowledged not to be true, the negative testimony of gentlemen likely to be well informed, would be deemed sufficient to bring another, and in its nature very improbable, complaint or assertion of the same person, into discredit.
"8. That it is not merely pretences, but very powerful reasons which have impeded the evacuation of the Posts, and the running of the boundary line."
Answer. The point of view in which I have now exhibited the conduct of the Spanish governors relative to the evacuation of the posts and the running of the boundary line I should suppose might convince you that the causes which they have offered for the delay, are mere pretences: the American citizens, to whom you have appealed, have been convinced only by reading the printed documents, without any comments.
"9. That the insinuations with which you are willing to persuade the American people that our arming is directed against them, are unjust as well as unfounded, as by Mr. Blount's letter it is clearly demonstrated to be a precaution for the mere purpose of defence."
Answer. The grounds of my suggestions, which you call "insinuations" are detailed in this letter, and embrace too many facts and circumstances to be abridged:—permit me to desire you to review them. I shall only repeat, that nothing is more certain than that Mr. Blount's letter has not the remotest reference to the suspected Canada expedition; which is your only pretence for reinforcing the posts in Upper Louisiana—for calling the Indians to your aid—for holding the posts at the Natchez, and Walnut Hills—and for delaying to run the boundary line.
"10. That you evidently contradict yourself, when on one hand you are pleased to attribute to us the movements of the Indians, and in the very next paragraph you shew it might proceed from American citizens, as it actually does, according to Mr. Blount's letter; and that he acted with the knowledge and intelligence of the very same British minister, in whose private notes, without signature, and perhaps not of his own handwriting, you place such implicit confidence."
Answer. I have shown that there is not a shadow of contradiction in my observations
on this subject; and your assertion to the contrary must proceed only from your not understanding them. You say that Mr. Blount acted in this matter with the knowledge and intelligence of the British minister. This is not likely to be true. It is in proof, by other evidence than the British minister's notes, that he did not and could not authorize the projected expedition against the Floridas—and particularly that one of his strong objections against it was, that it contemplated the employing of the Indians; although he thought it proper to submit the project to the consideration and decision of his government. Nobody therefore will believe that he authorized Mr. Blount, or was even privy to his measures, for preparing the Indians for war. Besides, Doctor Romayne, who may be presumed to be well acquainted with Mr. Blount's plot, suggests that it is not the project offered to Mr. Linton by Chisholm. These are his words: "Mr. Blount is totally unknown to Mr. Linton, and so are all his views." And there is a passage in Mr. Blount's letter which countenances the doctor's assertion, and indicates, that although Chisholm and Blount had some communications with each other, yet that their views were not precisely the same. Mr. Blount, in his letter to Carey, says, "Where Captain Chisholm is, I do not know."
I left him in Philadelphia, in March, and he frequently visited the minister and spoke upon the subject; but I believe he will go into the Creek nation by way of South-Carolina or Georgia. He gave out he was going to England; but I did not believe him." These last words afford a pretty strong proof that they were not acting wholly in concert. Probably Mr. Blount endeavoured to persuade Chisholm that he would co-operate in the prosecution of his scheme; while at the same time he might have another of his own or in concert with doctor Romayne, and stand ready in the event of things, to make his advantage of either; whichever should offer the best prospect of success: Doctor Romayne, you see, says that Mr. Blount is totally unknown to Mr. Linton; But it is well known that Mr. Blount was your frequent guest, and intimate companion; and that he was on this intimate footing with you during the whole time that you were representing to the government, your suspicions of British expeditions. Yet after the discovery of the conspiracy was made public, you formally requested the American government to punish him for so scandalous a crime. But seeing that Mr. Blount was a citizen of the United States, and not a subject of Spain, it would have been decent in you to have left him with his own government without interposing your advice. But especially when you knew that the President had laid his letter before Congress; and the two houses were deliberating on the mode of punishing him; when the investigation had proceeded so far that a committee of the Senate had reported a resolution to expel Mr. Blount from the Senate; and a committee of the House had reported a resolution that he should be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors: For you then to interfere was singularly improper; and it was such an ostentatious display of zeal, as under all the known circumstances, suggests more than one interpretation.
"11. That although in all your official communications, you have always manifested to me that the American government knew of nothing which indicated any foundation for my suspicions, Mr. Blount's letter clearly proves that I was perfectly in the right."
Answer. This remark is perfectly inconsequential; for your communications exhibited your suspicions of projected expeditions only from Canada and Georgia; and I have shown that Mr. Blount's letter has no relation to either.
I thought I had reached the end of your criticisms; but in your concluding paragraph you accuse of an "unjust partiality," meaning, no doubt, towards the British minister and his nation. The details I have given in this letter, I trust will abundantly prove that this charge is as unfounded as it is indecent. Those details verify the representations of the conduct of certain Spanish officers which are given in my report of the 3d of July to the President. If the truth has excited any unpleasant sensations, those only are to blame whose injudicious acts obliged me plain to declare. Instead of this task, I should have been happy to execute the grateful office of stating to the President the good faith and amicable manner in which the officers of his Catholic Majesty had executed the treaty of Friendship, limits and navigation between our two nations.
You think also that my report to the President is not calculated to strengthen the bonds of friendship which unite Spain and America.—Friendship, Sir, cannot subsist without mutual confidence; and confidence springs from sincerity. But the proceedings of the Spanish officers, which are the subject of this correspondence, have shaken the confidence of the government and of the citizens of the United States; and my report to the President only exhibits a summary of those proceedings; or rather the plain and obvious conclusions from the authentic facts and circumstances detailed in the documents, then and before presented to his view. And I dare venture to say, that every independent American has from the same premises drawn the same conclusions.
Nothing, Sir, will give truer satisfaction to the government and citizens of the United States than to see such a change in the proceedings of the Spanish officers as will restore confidence. The change would be easy, and the effect certain. Let them withdraw their troops and garrisons from the territories of the United States. Let them commence and prosecute the running of the boundary line. Let them cease to stop, control or regulate the passage of our citizens on the Mississippi, feeling that they have a right to navigate it with perfect freedom—And let them cease to send Agents or Enissaries among the Indians residing within

the territories of the United States. When they shall do these things (and the good faith of his Catholic Majesty pledged in the treaty renders their doing them an indispensable duty) then we shall forget what is past; our confidence will return; and with it that beneficial intercourse and those friendly acts by which neighbours may promote each others interests, welfare and happiness. — And for such a state of things, whatever you may have imagined to the contrary, no one more ardently wishes; and on its arrival, no one will more sincerely rejoice, than Your obedient servant, TIMOTHY PICKERING.

NEW-YORK, October 19. THE ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN BY THE CITIZENS OF NEW-YORK TO JOHN ADAMS, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
In contemplating the rapid progress of an enlightened nation to the summit of public virtue and happiness, there is perhaps no circumstance more deserving of our notice and admiration, than that which evinces the gratitude of a people toward those illustrious personages who have eminently contributed to their prosperity.
Under any period of time of which any annals are preserved, we discover this proper propensity to reward distinguished and useful actions. The manner of conferring these marks of public gratitude, has varied according to the state of society in which the actions, which were its object, have been performed. The additional incentives which a virtuous mind must feel for devoting its best exertions to the public welfare, are too obvious to be particularly mentioned; but the advantage which results to society, from a grateful notice of them, is universally acknowledged.
Among a people possessing so extensive privileges (and those privileges so well secured) — in a nation also equally enlightened as ours, the danger of excessive adoration is reduced to a phantom. It can never be exercised. No man can look for, or obtain, more than the warm yet rational expression of the joy and gratitude of the American People.
Partial ebullitions, ill directed, will occasionally occur among every people: But in a country happily situated as ours, these will be seldom found — In a cool deliberate appeal to the good sense of Americans, the result will in the end be generally favorable to tranquility and public virtue. Indulging this idea, we take pleasure in noticing the attention paid by our fellow citizens to the present Chief Magistrate of the Union.
Agreeable to arrangements, an entertainment was yesterday given to the President, at the New City Assembly Room, Broadway.
Upwards of three hundred citizens were seated at this entertainment, prepared by Mr. De La Croix; which for elegance and taste has never been equalled in this city.
The tables, elegantly disposed, presented a most amiable which would vie with any effort in any quarter of the world. They consisted of — 1. A beautiful Bower of Trees arranged along the table, representing within, the principal Cities of America united with a Garland of Roses. 2d. A magnificent display in Sugar, at the head of the table, representing a strong golden column, with the inscription, "Constitution." On the said column was fixed the figure of Wisdom, having in one hand the bust of President Adams, and in the other a Garland of Roses entwining sixteen columns, representing the States of America, with this inscription, "Unity their Roses which unite you, be always without Thorns;" the other Garland, which united the Cities of America, was supported by Prudence and Fortitude.
In several different places were disposed Temple, analogous to the felicity of the day.
The other substantial appendages were such as would be expected: they gave entire satisfaction.
The chair was filled by Rich Varick, Esq. Mayor of the city. He was supported by Maj. Gen. Morris, Mr. Lawrence, Senator from New-York, Mr. Dayton, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Maj. Gen. Gates, Brigadier Gen. Hughes, and other distinguished characters.
After Dinner the following TOASTS were drank.
1. The United States of America: — Prosperity to their Agriculture, their Manufactures, and their Commerce. 2. The Senate and House of Representatives. May they in their deliberations be guided by the best interests of their Country; and may they receive the cordial support of their Constituents. 3. GEORGE WASHINGTON — May he long enjoy the Patriot's best reward — the affections of a grateful and a happy People. 4. The State of New York. 5. JOHN JAY — Governor of the State. 6. The Nations in alliance with America: May existing differences be speedily terminated; and the bond of our Friendship be more firmly strengthened. 7. The MARQUIS LA FAYETTE — May the cloud of sorrow which has lately obscured his days be soon dispersed; and may the Sun of Happiness gild the remaining hours of his life. 8. KOSCIUSKO. May private Friendship and public Honor sooth the wounds he has received in the cause of Freedom. 9. PUBLIC GRATITUDE. May it be ever the reward of the firm and disinterested Patriot. 10. PUBLIC GOOD. May it be the invariable pursuit of each American Citizen. 11. PUBLIC SPIRIT. While it rouses us against Foreign Hostility; may it also secure us against Foreign Intrigue. 12. The State of Massachusetts; our elder Sister in the cause of Freedom. May she continue to be the Nurse of Patriots and of Heroes. 13. The Nations of the earth. United by one common Nature, may they feel that they have but one common interest — the Happiness of each other. 14. The genuine Spirit of Liberty — which breathes peace and Good Will to all mankind. 15. The heroes who have fallen in defence of American freedom. Taught by their great example, may we learn that our lives and fortunes are ever at the disposal of our country. 16. THE FAIR OF AMERICA. VOLUNTEER TOASTS. By the President of the United States. Prosperity to the citizens of the State of New York. By the Mayor (Chairman) After the President had retired, John Adams, President of the United States.
By the Vice-President (Mr. C. Sands) A speedy peace to all the world. By the Speaker of the House of Representatives The Farmer of Mount Vernon, in his retirement. By Mr. Edward Livingston, The Colossus of American Freedom — May it beldrde the commerce of the world, and like that of Rhodes, never fall but in a concussion of Nature. By General Hughes, The memory of Peyton Randolph, the President of the first American Congress.
Among the many institutions in this city, the Reading Room lately established is not of the least utility. Here the Man of Science may find a small though handsome collection of valuable books to entertain him; the Politician can be amply gratified in perusing the most valuable newspapers of the United States on their first arrival in the city, and obtain the earliest information of every thing that is passing. Where can a winter's evening be more usefully or agreeably spent than in the Reading Room, where a delicious repast is prepared for the amateurs of literature? Strangers also may here spend an half hour or more to advantage, and at a very small expence. From the promising appearance, there is reason to expect that this new institution will be of great utility, and reward the exertions of the Proprietor, who leaves nothing undone to render his Room pleasing and comfortable.

WASHINGTON, October 10. Extract of a letter from Brownsville, dated October 7. 1797. "Mr. Purdie of this place, arrived yesterday from New-Orleans, in 45 days. — He reports that the Spaniards have given up the posts to the United States — that Mr. Elliott and the Commissioners are now running the boundary line; and that Governor Gayoso is now governor of New-Orleans.
The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20.
Extract of a letter from Washington county, Virginia, dated Oct. 1, 1797.
"On Mr. BLOUNT's arrival, in Tennessee, a few of his partisans essayed to have him brought forward as a candidate for a Senator. This gave an opportunity for the citizens to see several gentlemen unmasked. The final trial took place last week, and Judge Anderson and Mr. Jackson were easily elected Senators in the room of Blount and Cocke. This is considered as a fatal overthrow to the ci-devant Governor and his plans in Tennessee."

COMMUNICATIONS.
There is a great deal of jargon in the style of our anti-federal faction. They say a free government is supported by opinion; they pretend to be friends to the Federal government, and yet are incessantly laboring to destroy the good opinion which the people entertain of it.
Our government is representative; to abuse the administration is to abuse the people who elect the representatives; and yet the faction who do abuse it, call themselves friends of the people!
The British government is strong; our anti-federal faction hate a "strong government," and yet they assail the administration with weapons exactly similar to those employed by the minority in England against the British government.
The faction pretend to be friendly to the Constitution of the United States; though inimical to the administration; but their weapons of attack against it, being proper for a strong government only, it is evident that if they succeed our constitution falls of course.
This faction with either to subvert the constitution, or get themselves into power. One event perhaps involves the other; both are to be equally dreaded. In the latter alternative, it is not presuming too much to say, that they would make the government strong enough, without consulting the people.
The Federal interest has always been the prop and support of the union of the States. There is not a spark of jealousy extant that has not been struck from the anvil of the anti-federal faction. This faction speaks a foreign language, it is in no measure assimilated to the spirit and genius of our country. It is nourished on our misfortunes abroad, and droops under our union and prosperity at home. The justice done to our claims in England is ablow at its existence, and should France follow the British example and make a righteous compensation, faction would hang itself in despair — a consummation in both cases devotedly to be wished.
The Aurora has suggested to the French government, the policy of interdicting the importation of fish from the Eastern states into the French islands. A correspondent remarked on the occasion, that the Aurora man must have believed that the French purchased the fish when they did not want, or could do without it. The eastern fishermen are however just as much obliged to the writer for his friendly hint, as if they did. It is not expected that France should make any commercial sacrifice — we know she never did. When she wants our fish she will buy it. That is doing as much as others do, and France will never do more, or less.
When first the murdering Jacobins let loose their defolating thunder on the Corinthian pillars of Society, and the civilization of the world, then fell, suddenly, into jargonie confusion, all the useful and long known distinctions of polished life. Every thing became sophisticated, and nothing any longer known by its right name.
Opposition to order and to law, became Republicanism.
Anarchy, Democracy.
Riot, debauchery, assault and battery, and murder, Liberty and Equality.
Licentiousness, atheism, and universal carnage, the Age of Reason.
Was it not enough that so large and so fair a portion of the earth lay prostrate in the dust, and bleeding at every pore, but while these portentous omens of dissolution stared us in the face, we must extend over these temperate and happy plains that same curse of contention and civil strife, which had reduced "vine-covered hills and gay regions," to a den of wild beasts, — a horde of human monsters prowling round the earth in search of new objects for devastation.
Past the murderous strife of a furious revolutionary contest, — delivered from a heart-rending war of more than seven years, during which the loud roaring thunder rattled in our ears, from the arms of kindred foes; — enjoying liberty and happiness, in all that perfection which can be realized by man; — insulated from the mad passions and senseless contests of the rest of mankind; what had we to do with their revolutions, their liberty and equality, their new-fangled reason, their atheism or their fanaticism? We have idly suffered the barriers to be frittered away, which kept all these evils aloof from our land, and with the fury of a horde of wolves they now come rushing on, to embody all the weak and giddy throng of idlers, ignoramus and knaves, against order, virtue, and true liberty.
Let us then in nautical phrase, clap a stopper on the growth of foreign heresies, lest while we add our "mite of more" to that destroying torrent, which has "too much already," we enrol ourselves on the same black list with those whose enormities must be wiped away in atonement tremendous and severe.

TRANSLATION.
From the Paris Paper called L'ECLAIR. Petition of Mathieu Dumas, member of the council of five hundred, in the name of Louis Lebegue Duportail, former minister of war.
"Citizen representatives, in undertaking to present to you the remonstrance of my honorable friend, general Duportail, former minister of war, against the inscription of his name on the odious lists of proscription, I am actuated by a fraternal sentiment, I fulfil a civic duty.
"The case of this citizen renders necessary a decision of the legislative body, seeing that, on the one hand, no law concerning emigration, even those the most barbarously expost facto, can be applied to him with the least appearance of justice, and that, on the other hand, he cannot be comprized in any of the exceptions contained in these very laws, in as much as the forced sense, which is sought to be given to the expression of the constitutional act, abandonment of the country, has never been fixed by law.
"Louis Lebegue Duportail, minister of war at the close of the session of the constituent assembly, and at the commencement of that of the legislative assembly, was decreed in a slate of accusation in the night between the 15th and 16th of August: he partook in that proscription the fortune of Tarbe and the unfortunate Duport Duterre.
"Strong in his own innocence, he wished to render himself up to imprisonment in the Abbey; I was fortunate enough to prevent him. An old domestic of the brave general Gouvion, or rather his faithful friend, the citizen Moutonier, who came to Paris in search of me, after the death of that brave general, offered to Duportail, in Paris, even in the very midst of the volcano, an asylum which his generosity, his courage and his intelligence, rendered inaccessible to the researches of tyranny.
"General Duportail owes his safety to the severe precaution of breaking off all connection, both with his family and his friends; he remained in that obscure retreat during twenty-two months and sixteen days, and did not attempt to leave it, until the decree which, assailing with the stroke of death the crime of hospitality, alarmed his delicacy, poisoned all his gratitude, and no longer permitted him to jeopardize his benefactor.
"He left Paris the 3d of May, 1794, with the passport of an American officer, who was happy in lending his assistance to one of those officers who had the most contributed in conquering the independence of the United States.
"Before he left France, Duportail re-registered in a public act, deponed in the hands of the notaries Hua and Martin, in presence of eight witnesses, a protest against the violence to which he found himself compelled to yield, and made, as an accused, a solemn reserve of his rights. You will bear with still greater interest, citizens representatives, the reading of this piece, because it has since formed the basis of an act of accusation against the courageous magistrate who received from the minister this profession of civic faith; the unhappy notary was, a short time after, dragged to the scaffold for having attested that noble and touching complaint of a citizen abandoned by the laws, and who protested against the abandonment of his country.
"General Duportail arrived in America the 16th July, 1794, and has not left it at this time.
"A few days after his departure, two of his brothers were accused by Fouquier
Tinville, of having forwarded to that general, whom the monster supposed to be in La Vendee, men, arms, and money; they were dragged to the scaffold."
Died at sea, on his return to Maryland from the Natches, general DAVID FORMAN, late of Jersey. He was a gentleman of great capacity and enterprize — During our late revolutionary war, he rendered most essential and important services, in a military capacity, to his country; and no man ever proved himself a more firm and decided patriot (not in the prostitute interpretation of the word, but in the genuine sense of it) than gen. Forman. He loved his country, and his patriotism was truly Spartan. In a social view, no man was more worthy — none more friendly — none more hospitable. He was generous, kind and beneficent to the poor — forbearing to those within his power; — and he was known! but, his pride was that of conscious dignity and honor; — it was that pride which preserves a man from the commission of a meanless — his high spirit disdained a dishonorable action. His pride was worthy of imitation. In a domestic view — but let those he has left behind him say what a Husband — what a Father — what a Master — what a Friend he was !!!
GAZETTE MARINE LIST.
PORT OF PHILADELPHIA.
The ship Ganges, capt. Greene, is safe arrived at the fort, in 19 weeks from Bengal, all well. The Ganges left Calcutta the first of June but brings no interesting intelligence. Seven or eight Indians were sitting out to join admiral Rainier in a secret expedition, supposed to be intended to take Manila.
Capt. Greene touched at St. Helena, on the 21st of August, where seventeen passengers, who had embarked with him at Calcutta, intending for Europe, by way of America, left the Ganges on being informed that war had broke out between the United States and France. On Saturday last, off Sinnepuxent Capt. Greene fell in with the frigate Thetis, Captain Cochran, who conducted himself in the most agreeable manner towards Captain Greene, and the passengers, who are Messrs. R. Willing, C. Francis, and John Gull, of this city. A ship from New-York and a vessel from Salem, had arrived at Calcutta.

BOSTON, October 14.
On Thursday last, Stephen Smith, alias Allen, was executed on the common, for burglary. He was attended by the Rev. Drs. Stillman and Thatcher; the latter of whom addressed the Throne of Mercy, in one of the most fervent, pertinent and affecting prayers ever delivered. Before being turned off, Smith acknowledged the justice of his fate, warned the many surrounding spectators of the vices which had accelerated his death, and appeared to be suitably affected with his situation. After hanging the usual time, he was cut down, buried, and, we learn, was afterwards taken up for dissection. Smith, in a confession published yesterday, which is said to be accurate, mentions his being born in Virginia, and committing many thefts there and in New Brunswick. He confesses that he set fire to the houses of Mr. Turner and Mr. Goldsbury, in which he had no accomplices; and no other object than to procure money. He was 28 years old.
LITERARY.
We hear that the Rev. Mr. Stearns, of Lincoln, is about publishing a poem, entitled "A Lady's Philosophy of Love." Beyond the precept of Horace, or the example of Pope, it has lain 23 years, "unknown and unknown," in the closet of the author. — From the established reputation of the author, as a genius and a scholar, the public expectation is greatly raised, and we doubt not will be amply gratified.
