The Norfolk Mail STAGE.
THIS Stage starts from the GEORGE Tavern, at the corner of Second and Arch Streets, in Philadelphia, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 3 o'clock, in the morning; arrives at Dover the first day, at Snowhill the second day, at Northampton Court House the third day, and on the morning of the fourth day the passengers find a safe and comfortable packet to convey them to Norfolk.
A packet leaves Norfolk for Northampton ferry, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the Stage starts from this ferry for Philadelphia, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday; puts up at Snow Hill the first night, at Dover the 2d night, and arrives in Philadelphia in the evening of the third day.
The distance on this route, between Philadelphia and Norfolk, is 50 miles less than on any stage route between those places.
Too much cannot be said in favor of the road, which is most excellent indeed. The proprietors willingly engage to return the whole fare to any passenger, who, after having performed this route, will say that he ever travelled in a stage for the same distance, to good a road in America. August 11. dim. coif.
The Philadelphia, Alton, and Tuckerton MAIL STAGE.
THE proprietors beg leave to inform the public, that they have established a Stage between Philadelphia, Alton, Bally, Hampton, Speersville, and Martha Furnace, Wading River sitting mill, and the town of Tuckerton, in New-Jersey, to go once a week, and are provided with good horses, a comfortable carriage, and a careful driver, for the conveyance of the mail, passengers, and goods. The Stage will start every Thursday, at 10 o'clock, A. M. from Mr. Daniel Cooper's Ferry, and lodge that night at Fort Indiantown; on Longacunning; and on or about Friday, at 6 o'clock, P. M. arrive at Caleb Evans's, innkeeper, in Tuckerton, distant from the city 54 miles, from the Atlantic 6, and from the East Graving Plain 7 miles; where are good accommodations for travellers, and where are commodious and safe passage boats provided to convey passengers to Capt. William Warfield's wharf, on Tuckerton's Island, adjoining the Atlantic, where are good accommodations, and a convenient place to embark; the gentleman who wishes to regale himself with fishing, may at this place be highly gratified, there being at almost every season of the year trout and fish in abundance. The Stage on its return, starts from the aforesaid C. Evans's in Tuckerton, every Tuesday, at 6 o'clock, A. M. breakfasts at John Boland's, at Wading River Bridge, lodge that night at Longacunning, and at 1 o'clock, P. M. on Wednesday, arrive at the aforesaid Cooper's Ferry. It is presumed that no route of an equal distance will be less expensive, or furnish the traveller with a greater variety of amusement, as he will not only have a pleasant sail to the Atlantic from Tuckerton, but have the curiosity of seeing on the road either a number of capital forges and forges, and one flitting mill, in complete order, and at work; gentlemen too, who are owners, or factors, of any of the aforesaid iron works, are solicited to encourage and support this stage (by which they can be so well accommodated) the continuance of which will much depend on their aid. The rates of passengers and baggage are as follows: For a passenger from the aforesaid Daniel Cooper's Ferry to Tuckerton, including 14 lb. of baggage, Two Dollars; for every passenger per mile, Four Cents—150 lb. of baggage equal to a passenger. Passage of letters, newspapers, &c. will be agreeably to love. N. B. The mail crosses from the Old Ferry. THOMAS WARDLE & Co. Tuckerton, Sept. 28. Oct. 5—2awtf

The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA,
TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
TO THE PUBLIC.
(Concluded from Thursday's Gaz.)
Dr. Currie goes on to state the following gross misrepresentation from popular report: "That his mind was elevated to a state of enthusiasm bordering on phrensy..."
As the Dr. has not given us a single instance in proof of his assertion of the elevation of Dr. Rush's mind "to a state of enthusiasm bordering on phrensy"...
In many of the visits which Dr. Rush made to Kensington in the year 1793, I accompanied him. In one of those visits, (in which I was with him,) he was requested by a gentleman in Kensington to attend a number of poor families in his neighbourhood.
Did Dr. Currie by introducing this, and other malevolent stories against Dr. R. mean to "determine the question, whether, Dr. R. is entitled or not, to the credit of the important discoveries in the healing art..."
Dr. Currie proceeds thus: "Dr. W. he said was an assassin, because he expressed some doubts of the superior efficacy of mercurial purges to those of a less drastic kind."
"In his letter to Dr. Rodgers, after treating the opinions of all his fellow practitioners with the most insulting contempt, and declaring that he believes himself the unworthy instrument in the hands of a kind providence of recovering more than 99 of an hundred patients..."
"The doctor certainly intended to write a romance, for there is no mention in any of the authors he refers to of mercurial purges, or of relieving the cure of the disease on copious bleeding and purging..."
I have Dr. Rush's authority to deny that he ever used the epithet of assassin in speaking of Dr. Wistar. Upon reading Dr. Wistar's publication, Dr. R. expressed his surprise by quoting the following lines from Shakespeare.
"This was the most unkindest cut of all; For Brutus as you know was Cæsar's angel?"
The words were as expressive of ancient friendship and esteem, as they were of a supposed act of unkindestness. Dr. Rush means to lay the correspondence, that passed between him and Dr. W. in 1793, before the public...
I have already noticed Dr. Rush's letter to Dr. Rodgers. All that I have to say upon the extract which Dr. C. has here introduced, is that he has evinced a considerable share of malevolence by not finishing the sentence...
Dr. R. expressly says, after mentioning that he had "early adopted and extended a mode of treating the disorders, &c." in my first address to the public, I acknowledged that I received the first hints of the safety and efficacy of jalap and mercury, in this disorder in the military hospitals in the year 1777, &c.
I shall in this place resume my observations upon the following paragraph in Dr. Currie's piece, respecting blood-letting: "He also remembered to forget to mention..."
that he adopted his sanguinary code not from Draco but from Mosely, who was a mere empiric that practiced in Jamaica some years ago."
With what face does Dr. Currie dare to speak of blood-letting in such opprobrious language, after telling the public, that he had lately drawn from 90 to 100 ounces of the "vital fluid" from two of his patients in the yellow fever, at 9 and 11 bleedings?
In calling to recollection an author as Dr. Mosely, a "mere empiric" - Dr. Currie unfortunately "remembered to forget" (to use his favorite but borrowed expressions) the terms which he has himself used in speaking of that gentleman's practice in the yellow fever.
Dr. Currie proceeds thus: "He also, in a most extraordinary manner, remembered to forget the victims that were falling by the hands of his apostles, at the very time that he was boasting of recovering more than ninety-nine of a hundred."
"To crown all his extravagancies, he has lately threatened to prosecute Dr. Hodge for telling Dr. Way, on the second day of his fever, that he thought he might recover without any more bleeding."
"From this statement, I think Dr. Rush exempt from blame in the case of Dr. Way; and that there are cases of high inflammation in which the patient sometimes recovers, under the most herculean discipline, his most inveterate enemies must acknowledge."
This is certainly extraordinary language to come from a person who professes such an "inviolable regard" for truth! - Dr. Currie certainly "remembered to forget" whilst writing the above, that in spite of himself he was obliged to become one of the apostles of Dr. Rush!
The narrative which Dr. Currie has given of the sickness and death of Dr. Way, is commenced with a falsehood. Dr. Rush did not threaten to prosecute Dr. Hodge for "telling Dr. Way, on the 2d day of his fever, that he thought he might recover without any more bleeding."
The black servant informed him, and he left the house with the charitable ejaculation of "God damn his soul!"
Dr. Currie supposes Dr. Way sunk under the operation of eight grains of calomel. It appears extraordinary that he should dare...
to insult the public with such an opinion, after having lately given five grains of the same medicine every two hours to a patient in the same disease; - and after having spoken of this remedy in the following terms: - (See his 2d pamphlet, p. 41, 42, 43.) - "In conjunction with blood-letting, mercurial purges were found more certain in their effects and more serviceable than any other kind..."
With respect to the following assertion, which ought to have been introduced upon the subject of blood-letting, I have already shown that it is false. "Dr. Rush with that precipitation for which he has always been noted, instantly adopted the practice in its utmost latitude, without reflecting that difference of climate and constitution made a difference in the disease."
I shall now refresh Dr. Currie's memory with certain instances of his extraordinary forgetfulness.
He has forgotten his obligations to Dr. Rush, for his early patronage of him when he had not a friend in Philadelphia!
He has forgotten, in calling Dr. Rush's medical character in question, the high opinion he once expressed of it in the following dedication of a treatise upon the "Autumnal Remitting Fever" in the year 1789.
"To BENJAMIN RUSH, M. D. Professor of the Theory and Practice of Physic in the College of Philadelphia; Censor of the College of Physicians, &c. - This Dissertation is respectfully dedicated, as a testimony of the very exalted opinion which the author entertains of his amiable and engaging manners, as a gentleman, and of his distinguished abilities in the several departments of science, and especially in that of medicine."
The Title of the Book. "A Dissertation on the Autumnal Remitting Fever. By William Currie, Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia."
"Philadelphia: Printed by Peter Stewart, 1789."
Also, in the following extract from his publication in the Federal Gazette of September 21st, 1793.
"I know Dr. Rush's liberality too well to suppose that any animadversions on his opinions, where truth is the object of enquiry, can give him offence; especially when they come from one whose intentions he knows to be well meant, who acknowledges himself under PARTICULAR obligations to him for past services, and still remains his, and the public's most grateful and devoted servant, WM. CURRIE."
He has forgotten the respectful terms in which he mentions his name in his treatise on the diseases of the United States; and how many extracts he has taken from Dr. Rush's publications, to assist in filling up that work!
He has forgotten in composing his account of Dr. R.'s conduct in 1793, all his own absurdities, contradictions and falsehoods, by which he distracted the citizens of Philadelphia!
He has forgotten the disgrace he has incurred by deserting his patients in the late epidemic, and skulking from danger alternately in the country and behind a printing press!
He has forgotten that his ideas upon the subject of duelling were not always the same as they are at present, as has been shown lately in the public prints; it "affords (says Dr. C. in his publication of the 20th October) to every reflecting mind the strongest argument that he is deficient in common sense, or that his cause is unfound, and will not bear a fair and rational discussion."
In viewing Dr. Currie as the tool, and ostensible author of the publication which has been the subject of these remarks, his mind may be regarded as a sink into which a number of filthy streams have flowed, which after rankling, and putrifying for four years in his bosom, have at last emitted a noxious vapour, offensive to every body, but fatal to himself alone.
I shall conclude my reply to Dr. Currie's publication of the 6th of October, by remarking, that the most interesting spectacle I saw in the year 1793, was my respected preceptor, in a scene of business and distress for some weeks, such as few men probably were ever engaged in. Living almost without sleep - intent chiefly in developing the nature and changes of the fever, and in attending to the poor; afflicted by sickness grief and calamity; and yet under all these circumstances, firm, patient and cheerful.
* This was the practice of that "mere empiric" Dr. Mosely, in the West-Indies. * The greatest part of Dr. Currie's publication was written in 1793.
even cheerful. I have however, lived to see a spectacle of a more interesting and affecting nature, viz: This same man whilst performing similar services to his fellow-citizens in the year 1797, insulted and traduced with as much virulence, as if he had been the author of our late calamity; and that too in one instance by a man whom he never injured, and who owes more to him than to any other man in Philadelphia.
Dr. Currie, in his publication of the 20th October, although he professes truth to be the object of his researches, says, "no notice will be taken of any thing that comes from the pen of any person but Dr. Rush himself on the present occasion."
He ought to have known long ago from the silence with which Dr. Rush treated his indecent observations upon his account of the origin of the yellow fever of 1793, that nothing he writes would command the notice of Dr. R. Truth however is the same from whatever source it comes. He may answer these remarks or not as he thinks proper. Had I not committed myself by my declaration that his publication was false or misrepresenting, I would not have troubled the public with this reply to it. Dr. C. cannot deny what has been advanced; I therefore leave it to the public to judge if my declaration was too harsh. Hereafter any publication with Dr. Currie's name to it will be its own refutation.
Dr. C. has attempted to be witty upon me for wearing a Spencer; I think it probable that Dr. Currie would esteem himself happy if the peculiar cut of his Coat was the only thing that now attracted the attention of the public. He has by his publication set a mark upon himself. From this time forward he must be viewed with horror and contempt.
JOHN REDMAN COXE.
* This man whilst practicing in Chester county had a severe fever, which in all probability would have terminated his existence, but for the exertions of Dr. Rush, who visited him in the country, and by his prescriptions preserved his life.

Admiralty Office, September 2, 1797. Captain Waller, of her Majesty's ship Emerald, arrived here yesterday with dispatches from admiral Lord St. Vincent, to Evan Nepean, Esq. Secretary of the Admiralty, of which the following are extracts:
Ville de Paris, off Cadiz, August 16, 1797.
SIR, I Desire you will acquaint the lords commissioners of the admiralty, that I detached rear-admiral Nelson, and the squadron named in the margin, with orders to make an attempt upon the town of Santa Cruz, in the island of Teneriffe, which, from a variety of intelligence, I conceived was vulnerable. On Saturday, the 15th of July, the Rear Admiral parted company, and on Tuesday the 18th, the Leander having joined from Lisbon, I sent her after the rear-admiral, under instructions left by him.
The Emerald joined yesterday, with the inclosed dispatch and reports from the rear-admiral; and although the enterprise has not succeeded, his Majesty's arms have acquired a very great degree of lustre: Nothing from my pen can add to the eulogy the rear-admiral gives of the gallantry of the officers and men employed under him. I have greatly to lament the heavy loss the country has sustained in the severe wound of rear-admiral Nelson, and the death of captain Bowen, lieutenant Gibson, and the other brave men who fell in this vigorous and persevering assault.
The moment the rear-admiral joins, it is my intention to send the Sea-Horse to England with him, the wound capt. Freemantle has received in his arm also requiring change of climate; and I hope that both of them will live to render important services to their king and country.
I am Sir, Your obedient humble servant, ST. VINCENT.
Theus, off Santa Cruz, July 27. SIR,
In obedience to your orders to make a vigorous attack on the town of Santa Cruz in the island of Teneriffe, I directed from the ships under my command, one thousand men, including marines, to be prepared for landing, under the direction of captain Troubridge, of his majesty's ship Culloden, and captains Hood, Thompson, Freemantle, Bowen, Miller, and Waller, who very handsomely volunteered their services, and although I am under the painful necessity of acquainting you that we have not been able to succeed in our attack, yet it is my duty to state, that I believe more daring intrepidity never was shewn than by the captains, officers and men you did me the honour to place under my command.
Inclosed I transmit you a list of killed and wounded; and amongst the former it is with the deepest sorrow I have to place the name of captain Richard Bowen, of his majesty's ship Terpsichore, than whom a more enterprising, able and gallant officer does not grace his majesty's naval service; and with great regret I have to mention the loss of lieutenant John Gibson, commander of the Fox cutter, and a great number of gallant officers and men.
I have the honour to be, &c. HORATIO NELSON. Sir John Jervis, K. B. &c. &c. &c.

PARIS, September 5.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Belguin to Mr. Wickham, Ambassador of England to Switzerland.
"You had yesterday the goodness to speak to me of a letter which his Highness the Prince de Condé wrote to M. Imbert Colomes, principal agent of the King at Lyons, &c. &c."
The same, to the Marquis de Montesson, November 2.
"I received, Sir, your letter, which you did me the honour to write to me on the 31st ult.; but I must own that I have found it too short. It confines itself to referring me to Mr. Wickham, Ambassador from England to Switzerland to obtain from him the letter from M. Imbert Colomes."
The same, to the Prince of Condé.
"My lord, what I had so much reason to apprehend, has taken place: your royal highness will recollect the various scenes which have been played off at Mulheim in this respect. But your lordship could not have expected that Mr. Wickham, after having told you that all was arranged - after I had consented to serve under the orders of Messrs Reay and de Chavannes, he saw no inconvenience in sending him to Lyons; that he had written to prepare the minds of men for my reception; your lordship did not, I say, expect that this M. Wickham would afterwards tell me that terror prevailed at Lyons, and that M. Imbert Colomes and others had been obliged to secrete themselves, &c."
"But in every event, I dare to hope that your highness will not leave me any longer without a letter from M. Imbert Colomes, in order to put me in possession of the money expended by me, amounting to 368 livres."
"It appears that M. Imbert Colomes was, at Lyons, the treasurer of the king."

CONGRESS.
Fifty-one members of the House of Re- presentatives took their seats—not being a quorum, they adjourned till to-morrow.
Mr. MARSHALL, one of the three extra envoys from the United States to France, is stated in a letter from Havre de Grace of the 23d September, to have arrived at Am- sterdam. "In 2 or 3 days he will arrive at Paris, together with Mr. Pinckney."
"The constitution of the third year" was the rallying point of the triumvirate in France—and yet the authors and supporters of that constitution are proscribed and banished.
The constitution prohibits the armies from del- iberating on political subjects—and yet the Trium- virate attribute their success against the authors and friends of the constitution to the deliberations of the armies.
The constitution declares the inviolability of the persons of the representatives; and yet the Triumvirs have proscribed and banished upwards of fifty of the representatives of the sovereign people, without trial.
There were thirty-five Newspapers printed in Paris previous to the late political Tornado—Thir- ty-two were suppressed by the Triumvirs, and the Printers proscribed and banished—four conti- nue to be published—all of which are said to be edited by foreigners. By this it would appear that the citizens of Paris are opposed to the directory in a ratio of more than eight to one. The truth however can hardly be known, while the bayonet continues to give law.
The apathy with which the people of France ap- pear to view the recent usurpations, and the over- throw of the constitution, sufficiently evinces the horrid condition of the country. Handed, during six years, from one mad faction to another,— from Marat to Robespierre; and from Robespierre to Rewbell,—dripped of their possessions by enor- mous requisitions, they fully realize that no change of circumstances can deteriorate their condition.
The enthusiastic fervor which has led them thro' death and carnage, has evaporated, and left behind the lees of misery and despair. Awakened from their dreams of liberty and their fantastic concep- tions of equality, they behold their religion taken from them, their privileges abolished, and their property wrested from their hands. "Madness has brought them to the gates of Hell,—and there has left them."

MR. PENNO.
Your publishing the following British Review of a pamphlet, which well deserves the perusal of every serious and candid inquirer after religious truth, will, I am confident be pleasing to many of your readers.
The dangerous and unscriptural doctrines which the author so ably refutes, are, it is to be feared, rapidly extending their malignant in- fluence among us; and therefore every truly valuable effort to check their progress, and ex- pose their fallacy, merits general attention. As such Dr. Wharton's publication has justly been considered by the reviewers, and being the pro- duction of an American pen, it will, I trust, meet with as favorable a reception here, as it has in Europe. Yours,
A SUBSCRIBER.

A SHORT AND CANDID ENQUIRY
Into the proofs of Chr's Divinity, in which Dr. Priestley's opinion concerning Chr's Divinity is occasionally considered. In a Letter to a Friend, by C. H. WHARTON, D. D. and Member of the Philosophical Society of Phi- ladelphia.
[Philadelphia: Ormrod & Conrad. 1796.] This pamphlet appears to have been writ- ten and published in the year 1791; but on account of Dr. Priestley's arrival in Am- erica, and preaching the first open and avow-
ed defence of the Unitarian system ever pub- lished in that city, it is now re-pub- lished with a preface, containing some re- marks on that discourse. Dr. W. states the serious alarm it had occasioned among "the professors of the ancient doctrines respect- ing Jesus Christ, and salvation thro' him," and assures Dr. P. that however ready they may be to sacrifice their prejudices to revealed truth, yet conceiving their only solid foun- dation, "for present tranquility and future retribution," to be, "the consolatory tenet of vicarious atonement," they cannot yield up their present system of faith "to any thing short of unanswerable arguments, and the most luminous conviction."
Dr. P. asserts, "that Christianity, be- side being proved to be true, must be shown to be rational." But with Dr. W. the simple question is, "are these doctrines communicated to us by divine revelation, or are they not? The reasonableness of this revelation is not to be proved or examined, because revelation implies information of something which reason cannot discover; and therefore must be different from all the deductions of reason." If christianity con- tain nothing but what lies within the reach of human reason, why was revelation at all necessary to man? or why is it said to bring life and immortality to light? Why does St. Paul tell Timothy that great is the mystery of godliness? Where was the need of Christ's laborious life, unparallelled suffer- ings, and ignominious death, to sanction o- pinions, to introduce a system of morals, which reason alone could establish?
Having thus stated the question, and en- deavored to show that the mere reformation of human morals could not be the grand design of Christianity, Dr. W. leads us to his enquiry on the ground of scripture and antiquity.
After the utmost, and apparently the most sincere professions of candor, and even veneration for Dr. Priestley's character as a Philosopher and a man of letters, Dr. W. gives a short abstract of the doctrine of the new Testament respecting Christ, in a pro- gressive order—showing that our Lord first taught his disciples to conceive of him as a prophet, the promised messiah—and then gradually led them on, to the higher parts of his character, and to the sublimer truths of Christianity, as they were able to bear his instructions. So the Apostles with like caution and prudence, began with the first principles of Christianity, and led their con- verts on gradually to perfection. To this evidence Dr. W. subjoins the usual proofs from the Acts of the Apostles, and the Re- velation of St. John, that the first Chris- tians actually worshipped Jesus Christ.
In the next place Dr. W. appeals to the early ecclesiastical writers, viz. Hegippus, Clemens Romanus, Irenaeus, Ignatius, Poly-carp, and Justin Martyr; particularly the latter: but the passages have been so often cited that we forbear to copy them: we shall however transcribe a few remarka- ble extracts from early Pagan writers, which strongly corroborate the assertion that Jesus Christ was worshipped by the first believers.
1. Pliny asserts, that, "the Christians met before daylight to address themselves, in a form of prayer to Christ, [so Dr. W. trans- lates carmenque Christo] as to some God." 2. Antoninus Pius, in an Edict directed to the States of Asia, lays of the same Chris- tians, "It is more eligible for them to be persecuted and die for their God, than to continue in life." 3. Lucian charges them with "rejecting the Gods of the Greeks, and, worshipping only that deceiver who was crucified." 4. Porphyry confesses, that "since Jesus (whom he elsewhere calls the dead God) has been worshipped, no one has experienced public assistance from the Gods." Lastly, Julian reproaches the Christians "for worshipping two Gods, contrary to the express command of Moses."
Upon the whole we consider this as a tract, which does honor to the author, and may be very seasonable in Philadelphia. If it has any blemishes, they are such as are very uncommon among polemic writers, viz.—an excessive candour, and extravagant ad- miration of the author's antagonist, Dr. Priestley.

NO PEACE.
By the Argus arrived on Saturday from London, letters are received which confirm the return of Lord Malmesbury from Lille.
In some letters it is stated that his Lord- ship had received information from the French directory, that, if the propositions made on their part were not immediately acceded to, he must leave their territories in 48 hours.
The abruptness of his departure, war- rants us in believing the probability of such a message.
The Argus left Cowes the 22d.
In a review of the warlike preparations making by the court of Vienna, and the de- lay attending the definitive treaty with France, we are inclined to believe this latter event not so near at hand as has been before con- jectured.
In the treaty pending between the Em- peror and France, it has been agreed, that if Mantua was retained by the French, that the Emperor was to be allowed the privilege of erecting another fortress, on the new frontiers of his states.
We were obligingly favored last night with a Norfolk paper of Nov. 7, containing the lat- est European advices to Sept. 21, received there by the ship Rifeon, Capt. Shore, in six weeks from London.
LONDON, September 21.
By the letter sent on Tuesday evening to the Lord Mayor by Mr. Doyne, which we insert- ed in yesterday's Courier, it appears that it was in consequence of an intimation from the French Plenipotentiaries that Lord Malmesbury has thus quitted Lille without having accomplished "the object of his mission."
Whether this be the case or not, and what- ever might have been the object of Ld. Malmes- bury's second journey to France no event that has taken place during the eventful period of the last three years, has tended so much to de- press the spirits of our noble negotiator, as the return of our noble negotiator, without having made peace with a power, against which, sad experience has taught us, if we continue to make war, inevitable, utter ruin to this country must be the result.
Year after year has Mr. Pitt carried on this cruel conflict, in which some of the best blood of Europe has unhappily been shed, though at the commencement of each campaign, he has invariably found himself in a worse situation than that which preceded it.
And yet what is our situation? what are our resources? how are we to carry on our schemes of warfare against a victorious nation, whose energy in arms does not seem to be affected by its domestic disorders? A debt insupportable in any country, an exhausted treasury, taxes in- productive, manufactures decaying. But why should we attempt to portray the wretched situation of this once flourishing country? Ere long it will be presented by Mr. Pitt himself in colours sufficiently striking: for he will soon have to lay before the public a sketch at least, of the expenses that must necessarily be incurred by the continuance of the war, and a list of the new taxes which he may deem it necessary to impose on the suffering inhabitants of this country, for the purpose of opposing what, in the new phra- seology of parliament, are called French principles.
OF the Lizard capt. Shore was boarded by a French row boat—treated politely and dis- missed. In the channel spoke the ship Washing- ton, of and from Baltimore, bound to Am- sterdam—30 days out; all well.
NORFOLK, Nov. 8.
All prospects of Peace done away!

Shore, arrived at Hampton Roads on Monday last, and which we were kindly favored with, we are enabled to lay before the public the CERTAINTY of Lord Malmes- bury being ordered out of France, and of his arrival in London on the 20th Septem- ber—consequently

Mr. RUSSELL.
PAUL R. NO. 20, of the French Council of 500, in a speech relative to the approach of the troops towards Paris, speaks of "the il- lum purged to counteract the Executive Author- ity, and to extend the limits of the Legislative power."
It is important to American politicians to note the incurable jealousy, implanted in the na- ture of man, which never fails to alarm every public body for its own powers, and inspires it with a dread of encroachment from the co-ordinate branches of Government. The speech, referred to is an instance of its truth among a thousand which might be quoted. The Directory having a good army at its back can answer these accusations by two hundred thou- sand sharp pointed arguments. Thus it stands strong at least for the present, but without the direct support of the sword, it would sink in- to insignificance, and become the puppet and plaything of the Council, or more properly the tool which one faction would seize as hereto- fore, to knock down another. Thus the Exe- cutive Power, when despatched of the necessary constitutional strength for its own self defence, must preserve itself by the power of the sword. If that cannot be done with success, faction seizes it and becomes master of the laws. This has already happened again very lately, if the armies had not interfered in open contempt of constitution. This plain truth flares our Fa- cobs in the face, that the constitution so much preferred by them to our own is so fully construe- ed for the French, or they are so fully versed in the application of exterior force, and not by the boasted principles of its machinery. In a word we see that these quack philosophers have talked so much to men about their rights, that they have quite overlooked their nature. Thus in the unbalanced government of ancient Rome, they talked about their liberty and the commonwealth as the French do now, but when the Senate and People dis- aged, there was no way to proceed, but to employ the sword of Pompey against that of Cæsar, (the Hober and Pithagoras of France) so that whichsoever prevailed, it was still the sword of the one or the other that was victor.
The conflict of opinions in respect to the powers of the respective branches of the French Government, is by no means over. The same Vaucluse before quoted deprecates the event of the Legislative body's being "reduced to the impotence of only enacting laws." There spoke the spirit of the Giles and the Galletins, and the profound statesmen who ratify or reject treaties in mob-meetings and by force of brick bats. Our Democrats have no idea of any other power than a single assembly, whose despotism has over proved furious and wild, though short liv- ed. It is the well known forerunner of oligar- chy or monarchy. The same French orator in- sists that it is the duty of the Legislature "to superintend the execution of the laws." As this is also the duty of the Directory, a fine foun- dation is laid for anarchy and misrule, for the conflict of one branch with another, and in conse- quence for the oppression and massacre of the citizen.
As the unceasing efforts of our Democrats are to break down our national Executive, such wild French principles as those before quoted, ought to attract the attention of American read- ers. They have already borne some of their bitter fruits in France, and more are ripening. NO DEMOCRAT.

Copy of a letter from Captain Thomas Wolley, commander of his Majesty's ship Arethusa, to Evan Nepean, Esq. dated Spithead, 13th Sept.
I am to acquaint you, that on the 20th Aug. being in lat. 30 deg. 49 min. and long. 55 deg. 50 min. having in tow a ship under Prussian colours from Surinam, which I have detained, suspecting her Dutch property, we perceived at day light, three sail to the windward of us, one of which, deceived by our appearance bore down upon us, under French colours, to within half gun shot, when she began to fire, which she continu- ed for more than half an hour before attempt- ed to escape. We were, however, fortu- nate enough to have disabled her in that time as to render her endeavours fruitless. On striking she proved to be la Gaiete, French Corvette, of 20 French 8 pounders, and 186 men, commanded by M. Guinec, Enseigne de vaisseau. She is a very hand- some ship, and quite new, this being her first voyage. She left France in April last for Cayenne, which last place she sailed from about 4 weeks before we fell in with her in company with l'Espoir a brig of 14 guns; who kept to the windward during the action, and stood away as soon as she saw the fate of the Gaiete. They had not taken any thing. I am sorry to have to add a list of killed and wounded.

At the Federal Blast Furnace, In Carbon for Slitting, Plating, 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. These patent rollers are cast in iron moulds, previously heated, and will be foundry, and will be found to be more dense, solid and durable than any rollers heretofore used. 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 Genl. Nathaniel Goodwin, or of Messrs. Thatcher and Hayward. Boston, Aug. 31. Sept. 19. 56t

Consisting of a variety of Miscellaneous Pieces for the instruction and amusement of YOUNG PERSONS—xxVolumes handsomely printed and bound up in two volumes, price Two Dollars. The variety and excellence of these pieces are such, that the book needs only to be known to be universally esteemed one of the most valuable publications that can be put into the hands of young persons. "Delightful task to rear the tender thought, To teach the young idea how to shoot, To pour the fresh instruction o'er the mind, To breathe th' enlivening spirit, and to fix The generous purpose in the glowing breast."

THIS DAY IS PUBLISHED, By THOMAS DOBSON, at the Stone House, No. 41, fourth Second-street, Letters and Conversations, Between several Young Ladies, on improving and interesting subjects. Translated from the Dutch of Madame de Genlis With alterations and improvements. Printed on fine paper, and neatly bound. Price one dollar. AMIDST the tide of modern Romance, paining tales of extraordinary distress, or of desperate or artful villainy, which "harrow up the soul," and which it would be for the honor of young ladies to be ignorant of, this little book comes forward so-far-fetched notice, where, in a variety of incidents, not exceeding the bounds of real life, the proper, because elegant and natural dignity and importance of the female character is exhibited in an interesting point of view, and presents examples of real and attainable excellence. The publisher was so much pleased with the personal, that he was persuaded he should do a pleasing service to the community by sending it into circulation. August 24. mw&1w

Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Shippensburg and Sunbury STAGES. THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time subsisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved; but, not as M. Slough intimates to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the subject from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th December last, a recital of which is not now deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer, may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching himself to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippensburg, or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witzmer, is determined to prosecute and carry on it, with every care, attention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the public can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle and Shippensburg. The fare as hitherto established. For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, arrive at Sunbury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Monday. WILLIAM GEER. Lancaster, Jan. 27, 1797.
N. B. This line of Stages starts from the house of William Ferris, in Lancaster, on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, proceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder in Harrisburg every Wednesday morning, on the same evening arrives at Lancaster, Cochem's in Shippensburg, and returns from thence on every Thursday; performing the same routine daily in its tour from Philadelphia.
