For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES. PHOCION—No. XVII. BY those who attended to the opposition of Mr. Jefferson, while secretary of state, to the measures of the treasury department, it was made a question, whether that opposition flowed altogether from his hostility to the head of that department (whose competition might, at a future period, be apprehended, and whose destruction was therefore desirable) or from his entertaining principles respecting public credit and national faith, very different from those which have influenced all nations, who cherish those valuable pillars of national strength.
As his conduct, while minister of the United States at Paris, in relation to this subject, may throw great light on his principles, I shall proceed to state the exact tenor of the advice which Mr. Jefferson gave to congress, respecting the transfer of the debt due to France, to a company of Hollanders. After mentioning an offer which had been made by such a company for the purchase of the debt, he concludes with these extraordinary expressions—"If there is a danger of the public payments not being punctual, I submit whether it may not be better, that the discounts which would then arise, should be transferred from a court, of whose good will we have so much need, to the benefit of a private company."
The above is an extract which was made from the letter in February 1787. The date of it was not noted, but the original being on the files in the department of state, will ascertain that, and all other particulars, relating to its contents—The genuineness of the extract may be depended upon.
This letter was the subject of a report from the board of treasury, in February 1787: That board treated the idea of transfer proposed as both unjust and impolitic: unjust, because the nation would contract an engagement, which there was no well grounded prospect of fulfilling; impolitic, because a failure in the payment of interest on the debt transferred (which was inevitable) would justly blast all hopes of credit with the citizens of the United Netherlands, in future pressing exigencies of the Union; and the board gave it as their opinion, that it would be advisable for congress, without delay, to instruct their minister at the court of France, to forbear giving his sanction to any such transfer.
Congress agreeing in the ideas of the board, caused an instruction to that effect to be sent to Mr. Jefferson. Here there was a solemn act of government condemning the principle as unjust and impolitic.
If the sentiment contained in the extract, which has been recited, can be vindicated from political profligacy—then it is necessary to unlearn all the ancient notions of justice, and to substitute some new-fashioned scheme of morality in their stead.
Here is no complicated problem, which sophistry may entangle or obscure. Here is a plain question of moral feeling. A government is encouraged on the express condition of not having a prospect of making a due provision for a debt which it owes, to incur in a transfer of that debt from a nation, well able to bear the inconveniences of failure or delay, to individuals, whose total ruin might be the consequence of it and upon the interested consideration of having need of the good-will of the creditor nation, and, with the dishonorable motive, as is clearly implied, of having more to apprehend from the discontent of that nation, than from those of disappointed and betrayed individuals. Let every honest and impartial mind, consulting its own spontaneous emotions, pronounce for itself upon the rectitude of such a suggestion.
An effort, scarcely plausible, has been heretofore made by the partisans of Mr. Jefferson, to explain away the turpitude of this advice. It was represented, that "a company of adventuring speculators had offered to purchase the debt at a discount, foreseeing the delay of payment, calculating the probable loss, and willing to encounter the hazard." But the terms employed by Mr. Jefferson refute this species of apology. His words are, "if there is a danger of the public payments not being punctual, I submit whether it may not be better, that the discounts which would then arise, should be transferred from a Court of whose good will we have so much need, to the benefit of a private company."
He plainly takes it for granted, that discounts would arise from the want of an adequate provision, and proposes that they should be transferred to the benefit of individuals. This he could not have taken for granted, if, in his conception, the purchasers had calculated on delay and loss.
The true construction then is, that the company expected to purchase at an under value, from the probability that the court of France might be willing to raise a sum of money on this fund, at a sacrifice—supposing that the United States, counting on her friendly indulgence, might be less inclined to press the reimbursement; not that they calculated on material delay, or neglect, when the transfer should be made to them. They probably made a very different calculation, (to wit) that as it would be ruinous to the credit of the United States abroad, to neglect any part of its debt, which was contracted there with individuals, from the impossibility of one part being distinguishable from another in the public apprehension; this consideration would stimulate to exertions to provide for it: And so it is evident from his own words that Mr. Jefferson understood it. But the persons who offered to purchase were by the apologist called SPECULATORS. The cry of speculation, as usual, was raised; and this, with some people, was the panacea, the universal cure for fraud and breach of faith.
It is true, as was alleged by the apologist, Mr. Jefferson mentioned an alternative, the obtaining of money by new loans, to reimburse the court of France; but this is not mentioned in any way that derogates from or sways the advice given in the first instance. He merely presents an alternative, in case the first idea should be disapproved.
It may be added the advice respecting the transfer of the debt was little more honorable to the United States, as it regarded the court of France, than as it respected the Dutch company. What a blemish on our national character, that a debt of so sacred a nature should have been transferred at so considerable a loss to so meritorious a creditor.

LONDON, September 22. Buonaparte, commander in chief of the army of Italy, to the inhabitants of the Tyrolese. Head-quarters at Brescia, 13th Fructidor, August 30.
"You solicit the protection of the French army. If you expect it you must shew yourselves worthy of it. Since the majority of you is well disposed, compel the few malcontents who are among you to be peaceable. Their outrageous conduct has a tendency to bring upon their country the calamities of war."
"The superiority of the French arms is now manifest. The Emperor's ministers, bought by English gold, betray that country. That unfortunate prince commits an error in every measure he adopts."
"You wish for peace! The French are fighting for that object. We march upon your territory for the express purpose of obliging the court of Vienna to accede to the prayer of desolated Europe, and to listen to the entreaties of her people; we come not here with a view of extending our dominions. Nature has pointed out the limits of France by the interfection of the Alps and the Rhine, in the same manner as she has placed the Tyrolese as a line of demarcation for the house of Austria."
"Tyrolese—whatever your past conduct may have been, return to your habitations! abandon the colours which have been so often disgraced, and which you are unable to defend."
"The conquerors of the Alps and of Italy are not now opposed to an host of enemies. They are in pursuit of a few victims whom the generosity of my country commands me to spare."
"We are formidable in battle, but we are the friends of those who give us an hospitable reception."
"The religion, the customs, and the property of the communes, who submit, shall be respected."
"The communes, whose Tyrolese inhabitants have not returned on our arrival, shall be burnt; the inhabitants taken as hostages and sent to France."
"When a commune has submitted, the Syndics shall be bound to deliver in one hour after, a list of the inhabitants who are in the pay of the Emperor, and if they should hide with the Tyrolese inhabitants their houses shall be immediately burnt, and their relations arrested and sent as hostages to France."

Philadelphia, November 8.
MR. FENNO, Sir, In a late paper a complimentary article addressed to the Poet Della Crusca, the publication of the following effusion on the arrival of Mrs. Merry, formerly the celebrated Miss Brunton, will equally oblige the friends of merit, and the admirers of the Drama.—
FROM scenes made horrid with domestic cries, Illustrious Merry greets our calmer skies! In families congenial to our sacred dome, Here flies the Muse to gain a tranquil home; Here uncontroul'd to wake the Tragic flame, And blaze refulgent on the torch of fame!— Expectant fancy views the fateful stream Of Shakespeare's glory, from her pathos beam; From founds transcendent shall his spirit fly, Glow in her breath, or sparkle in her eye; And while attentive to fictions woe, In fabled pity nature's tears shall flow; Draw from our hearts the apprehensive sigh, When to our fears, a Juliet seems to die; When lost to love, the mad Ophelia's rage, In laughing sadness treads the tearful stage; Or by her art a mental transport raise, When virtue, favor'd, meets the burst of praise.— Ere long, thus Brunton, by her magic pow'r, In mingled joys, shall amplify the hour; By peerless efforts of a boundless mind, Make murder pity, and the knife be kind; Learn flouts to weep; and inert bosoms move, To deeds of virtue, or the shades of love; Touch the quick nerve of patriotic zeal, Or, by reflection, conscious guilt reveal. Thus shall the blaze, and in the book of fame, Add honours brighter to a BRILLIANT NAME!
November 5th, 1796. R.
If the partisans of the Jefferson ticket are more successful, the nearer they are to the focus of a certain influence, will not this fact justify the serious alarms of those who deprecate the example of the Polish diets at their election of chief magistrate, which have terminated in the destruction of the liberties of that miserable nation?
The shoutings of "liberty and equality," the mercenary cries of "no king," which disgraced a late election, are so closely copied from the proceedings in France, which first prepared and afterwards established the arbitrary power of ROBESPIERRE, that there is no little reason to apprehend a similar tyranny in this country, if those succeed, who are now so closely copying and have always vindicated the preparatory steps which led to the despotism of that monster and man-slayer.—When popular tyranny shall trample on the necks of the wealthy and industrious, then they will begin to wrylie, and struggle to rise, but it will be too late; a guillotine will silence them, and their property become, by confiscations, the prey of plundering demagogues.
For the Gazette of the United States. Mr. Fenno, IN the Notes on Virginia, published not long since in your paper, Mr. Jefferson declares, p. 175, that corruption of morals encreases in America, in proportion as the citizens quit the culture of the earth to become manufacturers or artists; and that, "the proportion which the aggregate of the other classes bears to its husbandmen is the proportion of its unsound to its healthy parts, and is a good enough barometer whereby to measure its degree of corrup-
sion; and that the mobs of great cities are just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body." From what I have learnt of the late proceedings in your great city, I think I shall be a convert to that philosopher's great sagacity, for he seems to have exactly hit it. Will some of your correspondents please to inform me if it is true, that the Jefferson party paraded your streets on the election day with FRENCH COCKADES in their hats. We are told such things in the country, but can't believe them. A FARMER.
Extract from Jefferson's letter from Paris, on the subject of the federal constitution. (See Dunlap's Advertiser, of October '92.)
"The second feature I dislike, and greatly dislike, is the abandonment in every instance of the necessity of rotation in office, and most particularly in case of the PRESIDENT. Experience concurs with reason in concluding that the first magistrate will ALWAYS be re-elected, if the constitution permits it; he is then an OFFICER FOR LIFE. This once observed, it becomes of so much consequence to CERTAIN NATIONS to have a FRIEND or a foe, at the head of our affairs, that they will interfere with MONEY and with ARMS. A GALLOMAN, or an anglo-man, will be supported by the nation he FRIENDS, if once elected, and if at a second or third election out voted by one or two votes, he will PRETEND FALSE VOICES, foul play, HOLD POSSESSION of the reins of government, be supported by the states voting for him, especially if they are the CENTRAL ones, lying in a compact body themselves, and separating their opponents; and they will be aided by one nation of Europe, while the majority are aided by another. The election of a President of America, some years hence, will be much more interesting to CERTAIN nations of Europe, than ever the election of a king of Poland was. Reflect on all the instances in history ancient and modern, of ELECTIVE MONARCHIES, and say if they do not give FOUNDATION for my fears? The Roman Emperors, the Popes, while they were of any importance, the German Emperors till they became hereditary in practice, the Kings of Poland, the Dey of the Ottoman dependencies. It may be said that if elections are to be attended with these disorders, the feldmer they are renewed the better. But experience shews, that the only way to prevent disorder is to render them uninteresting by frequent changes. An incapacity to be elected a second time would have been the only effectual preventative. The power of removing him every fourth year by the vote of the people, is a power which will not be EXERCISED. The king of Poland is REMOVABLE every day by the Diet, yet he is NEVER removed." * This was written in 1783.
MR. FENNO, THE above quotation, which I declare to be genuine, affords very melancholy and alarming prospect indeed for this country. If the writer of it should be elected President—While minister in FRANCE, acquainted with the views and policy of that nation, and versed in the history of her intrigues with Sweden, Turkey, Poland, and other nations, acquainted also with the history of ancient and modern republics, and with the consequences of having a head of our affairs that they will interfere with MONEY and with ARMS (or THREATS, which may produce the same effect) that a GALLOMAN (a Frenchman) will be supported by the nation he FRIENDS if once elected, and that at subsequent elections, he will pretend foul play, and in opposition to the VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, HOLD POSSESSION of the office and will be supported by the CENTRAL states and the NATION he is attached to—Mr. Jefferson is an avowed GALLOMAN, disposed on all occasions to BEFRIEND the French nation; we have seen something, very like symptoms of THREATS and NOXIOUS INFLUENCE in the election; the Jefferson ticket was distributed under the auspices of the FRENCH COCKADE; if he shall be elected, has he not flatly intimated, in the above quotation, that he will, at subsequent elections, continue to HOLD POSSESSION, in opposition to the VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, if supported by the CENTRAL states and the NATION he befriends? Has he not declared that he will be PRESIDENT FOR LIFE, in other words, KING, under the protection of France? AN ENEMY TO FOREIGN INFLUENCE.
SWANN'S, Riding School, Horse Academy & Infirmary. Adjoining the Public square, Market Street. T. SWANN
RETURNS his sincere thanks to those gentlemen by whom he has been employed, during his residence in this City, and flatters himself that the success of his efforts, in the numerous, obstinate and dangerous diseases in Horses, in which he has been consulted, together with his moderate charges, will secure their future favors and recommendation.
He now begs leave to inform them and the public at large that his spacious and commodious premises, erected for the purpose above described are open for the reception of pupils of either sex, who wish to be instructed in the Art of Riding, and the right method of governing their horses, so as to ride them with ease, elegance, and safety—their horses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the riders; the natural powers which are shut up in them, will be unfolded by art, calling forth uniformity of motion, and giving to that noble animal all those beauties of action which providence has so bountifully bestowed on them.
Also, at his hospital, every disorder to which the horse is liable will be treated according to the rules of art, confirmed by long and repeated experience.
The utility of the above institution has never been questioned; that it has long been wanted in this city, every gentleman's stud will manifest, and T. SWANN as the full establisher of the veterinary art, solicits and relies upon the support of that public (which he is ever anxious in serving) to enable him to bring it to perfection. The idea of a subscription for that purpose has been hinted by several gentlemen, who wish to be returned by the institution—the amount of each subscription to be agreeable to the rate of charges stated in his hand bill. Such subscription is now open, and the signatures of many respectable gentlemen already obtained. He therefore informs his friends and such Ladies and gentlemen to whom he has not the honor of being known, that he shall in a few days take the liberty of waiting upon them and soliciting their support and protection.
N. B. Horses are properly prepared for those Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to be instructed. Nov 5. t b&f.

PHILADELPHIA,
TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1796.
The ship Juno arrived at Baltimore from Bristol the 3d instant, is stated to have had only 29 day's passage, consequently could have brought London papers to the second or third of October. The Baltimore papers however contain only Bristol accounts to the 24th September. London accounts to the 23d have been published several days since.
The Courier Francois of this morning mentions a check having been received by the army of Moreau on the 12th of September, and a retreat in consequence.
The same paper says that the salvation of Moreau's army depends entirely on Wurmer's being totally defeated by Buonaparte.

The expected election of Peleg Sprague, Esq. to complete the federal representation of New Hampshire—A tranquil session of a really patriotic Congress—A better representation than heretofore of Pennsylvania. The decadence of new fangled democracy. A majority of Americans voting that John Adams, shall be their second President, and that the man who has so ably defended shall be the guardian of their constitution.
LONGEVITY.—The Rev. Mr. FLAGG, of this town, was born in 1704, graduated at Harvard College, in 1725, and is the oldest clergyman in the catalogue. On Saturday last he rode half a mile on horseback to dine with company. He retains his mental faculties unimpaired; hears and sees well, and reads with great pleasure. He is a sincere patriot in every sense of the word; is very much pleased with the friendly address of our illustrious President, but is sorry for the occasion.

BALTIMORE, November 4. Late and Important.
By the Juno, Captain Peak, arrived yesterday from Bristol, we have received the Bristol Gazette to the 24th September inclusive, from which the following articles are extracted:—
The Juno had 29 days passage.
BRISTOL, September 24. POSTSCRIPT.
London, Thursday Night. Yesterday, Dutch papers to the 23d inst. inclusive, were received at the office of one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state. These papers, the writers of which can scarcely be suspected of fabricating any thing inimical to the cause of the French, contain accounts from Jourdan's army as late as the 9th inst. By these accounts it appears, that the Archduke had vigorously pursued his flying foe; that Jourdan, driven back to the Rhine, attempted on the 8th to make a stand on its right bank. He received the attack of the victorious Austrians, and again experienced a complete defeat—so complete, that it is reasonably concluded, his army is almost wholly annihilated. On the 9th, General Jourdan himself is stated to have crossed the Rhine, with a small body of attendants. The Austrians were said to be in possession of Frankfort. Two different Dutch papers of the same date, likewise state, that Moreau had experienced a complete defeat at Ingolstadt. This circumstance is strongly supported by probability; for the Austrian army under Gen. Latour, reinforced by 40,000 men, and no doubt invigorated by the accounts of the archduke's rapid success, would be itself in a state to act offensively. The advices by this day's Hamburg mail confirm this supposition.
The Dutch papers above quoted, further state the accounts of a victory gained in the Tyrol, over the French army under the command of Gen. Massena. No particulars of this last affair are given; but this account is corroborated by advice received yesterday by the Neapolitan Ambassador, which state some advantages gained by the Neapolitan army, acting in conjunction with the Austrians in considerable force against the French.
This morning arrived in town the Hamburg mail due on Sunday last. It gives an ample confirmation to the news above stated to have reached town yesterday in the Dutch papers.
Jourdan's defeat and retreat are painted in still stronger colours than they have yet appeared in this country. The left wing of his army is said, in a letter from Wessel of the 10th, to have been entirely cut off, and that it was not known what had become of it. The loss in artillery and baggage sustained by the French, has been very great.
Letters from Cologne of the 9th, state, that a part of Jourdan's army had then began to cross the Rhine.
An article from Ratisbon of the 2d, contains the account of an action having taken place on the 1st instant, between the Austrians and the French army under general Moreau. This action took place between Ingolstadt and Geilenfeldt. Moreau was completely defeated, and the loss is stated to have been considerable on both sides.
This mail likewise confirms the report of general Massena's defeat in the Tyrol.
An intimation has been given to our ministers from the empress of Russia, through the medium of her ambassador at our court, that she is ready, if a peace should be immediately concluded, to march an army of 50,000 men into Germany, to act against the French, in conjunction with the Austrians. This circumstance is by no means an unpleasant one, even should a negotiation take place. To obtain fair and honorable terms of peace, it is essential that we should be prepared for a vigorous prosecution of the war.
Letters have been received in the city from Leghorn, stating, in positive terms, the death of general Buonaparte; but no particulars are mentioned.
Mr. Hammond, under secretary of state landed at Scarborough on Monday. He brought over with him captain Anstruther's dispatches, which he forwarded to town, and arrived yesterday morning.
No passport, nor any answer to the application said to be made for one, has yet reached this country. Whatever that answer may be, it cannot be said that the Directory have rashly given it .
The Paris papers say, that general Moreau has got possession of Ratisbon, from whence the French were marching to take the archduke in the rear.
An express was received late last night from Paris, with an account of some signal victories obtained by the French army in Italy.

The Creditors of Scott and M c Michael,
formerly merchants of this city, and who failed in the year 1763, or 1764, (and from whom the subscribers purchased bills of exchange to amount of several hundred pounds sterling, which have lain by him ever since,) are requested, EVERY MAN OF THEM that is living, to meet at the City-Tavern on Tuesday, the 15th of November next, at 6 o'clock in the evening, in order to oblige Charles Cox, formerly of this city, now of New-Jersey, and John Bayard, formerly of said city, and speaker of the House of Assembly of said state, now of Brunswick, New-Jersey, assignees of said Scott & M c Michael, to come forward and pay over the monies they have had in their hands belonging to the creditors these 32 or 33 years. Some years ago the creditors were called together; Mr. Cox appeared in behalf of himself and Mr. Bayard, and alleged that they were apprehensive they might be brought into trouble if they parted with the money (which I apprehend is some thousands,) as his Britannic Majesty had a debt due him for government bills: it was however agreed by the creditors that, if the assignees should take the opinion of counsel; they did so, and it was that they would be safe in dividing the money among the creditors. I urged Mr. Cox to bring the business to a final close; his answer was, it would be but a trifling sum; my reply was, if ever to trifling, I would have my proportion of it. It has however lain over. I therefore hope the creditors will now come forward and oblige the assignees to divide whatever they have, and they ought to pay interest too. George Meade. Philadelphia, 2d November, 1796. dtw N.

My demand is for a balance due on a returned bill of 1000. sterling, costs, damages and interest. George Meade. Philadelphia, November 2d, 1796. dtw N.

(who failed in the year 1784) are earnestly requested to meet at the City-Tavern, on Wednesday the 9th November, at 6 o'clock in the evening in order to oblige the surviving assignees, Stephen Austin, and Andrew Hodge to close their affairs. John Chandler, deceased, who was one of the assignees, once offered to the subscriber 12/6 in the pound for his debt, which is for a returned bill of 8000 guilders, with costs damages and interest, and the assignees have never paid but 5/ in the pound, though they advertised goods belonging to William Barton & Co. in the year 1784 or 1785, and allowed every creditor the liberty of buying to the amount of 10/ in the pound of their debts. George Meade. Philadelphia, November 2d, 1796. dtw N.

STOP THE THIEVES!!!
LAST Wednesday Evening, October 19, between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock, the bed room of Mr. Ricketts in O'Brien's hotel was entered, either by means of false key, or at the window, by some villain or villains, who must have been acquainted with the situation of the house (as the door was found locked after they had committed the theft) who took away from amongst several trunks, ONE which contained a valuable part of Mr. Rickett's property, but of which he is not yet able to ascertain the contents particularly. After bringing the said trunk away, and emptying it of upwards of a thousand dollars in cash and bank notes, the villains left it behind the circus, during the time that the performances of the evening were going forward. It is earnestly requested, that all tavern-keepers on the stage roads, and the ferry houses, as well as all civil officers, may be watchful in securing suspicious persons, who may have a redundancy of cash, which their appearance would by no means bespeak them to be possessed of.
One Hundred Dollars Reward
Will be given for securing the thief or thieves, and a further reward for locating them with the property. Oct. 21.
