New Philadelphia. THE proprietors of the high ground in the neighbourhood of this city, known by the name of Springe'sbury Manor; (bounded on the west by the river Schuylkill, on the east by Fourth Street, from Schuylkill, on the north by Francis's lane, and on the south by Callowhill Street) have agreed to appropriate it for the purpose of build- ing a new city as a summer retreat. The plan in two sections may be seen at the Coffee house. The main Street, 100 feet wide, runs nearly east and west along the top of the ridge, striking Schuylkill a little above the upper ferry, where nature has placed everlasting abut- ments, and stone in abundance to form a perma- nent bridge of one arch, that cannot be approach- ed by ice or floods. A street of 66 feet wide, is laid out on each side of, and parallel to the Main Street. These are cross- ed by five new Streets at right angles, and by the continuation of Front, Second, Third and Fourth Streets from Schuylkill. The situation is high, airy and healthy, and com- mands an extensive prospect. The water is good. The canal runs obliquely through it. It is just a sufficient distance from the Delaware for a pleasant walk, to give an appetite to dinner after the business of the day is over. April 3. dtf
To be sold at Public Vendue, On Saturday next the 13th inst. at 3 o'clock in the af- ternoon, on the premises, One hundred and eleven of the highest and best situated Lots in the New Town, Each containing 30 feet front, and about 200 deep. The whole is situated on the west side of Fourth Street from Schuylkill, on the high ground opposite Bush Hill gardens, agreeably to a plan at the Coffee house, and at the old city Auction Store. To accommodate purchasers, one lot will be put up at a time, and the buyer will have the right to take as many adjoining, as he may think proper, at the same rate. The terms are, one third cash, approved notes at three months for the remainder, when deeds clear of all encumbrances, will be given. Connelly & Co. Aucteers. April 3. dtf
Sales at Auction. On Saturday the 10th April, at 2 o'clock P. M. on the premises,  Sundry Building and Garden Lots, Some of them contiguous to, and others at a small distance from the city, containing from about one quarter of an acre to about four a- cres each. The small lots front on Vine and Callowhill Streets, near Schuylkill—the large lots front on the south side of Francis Street, on the east side of Schuylkill river, on the west side of Schuylkill, second Street, and on interme- diate streets—the whole containing about 140 a- cres, being part of the tract known by the name of Springe'sbury.
The situation of many of the lots is on high ground, commanding views of the Schuylkill, and supposed to be so much detached from the built parts of the city, as to be out of danger in case of an unhappy return of the fever. Maps showing the division of the ground, may be seen at the Coffee-house, at Ogden's tavern in Chestnut-Street, at Sybert's tavern in the Northern Liberties, and at the Middle and Upper Ferris on Schuylkill. The abundance of stone, for building, on part of the ground, will prove very advantageous to purchasers, as it is proposed to sell at the same time those large quarries on the east side of the Schuylkill, near and above the bridge. The terms will be cash for the lots of 40 1-2 and 50 feet front, and for those of a larger size one half cash immediately, and the other half to be paid in six months from the day of sale.

One Hundred Dollars Reward. RAN away from the Subscriber, on Tuesday the second of this inst. April, living in Kent county, Maryland, near Chester Town, the following described Negroes, viz. William, about 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, a yellowish com- plexioned fellow, about thirty years of age, formerly the property of doctor William Mat- thews, he has been very much given to running away, and has been so often described in the public papers within this twelve months that any further description of him seems needless. Jacob, about 6 feet high, and about 32 years of age, of a common Negro complexion, down look, his little finger of his left hand stands straight, occasioned by the cut of a knife. Patt, the wife of said Jacob, about 27 years of age, a small light made woman of a yellowish complexion, with thick lips for an American of her stature, she is a very good needle woman, and spins on either small or great wheel, and is very handy in any common house work. Two children of the said Jacob's and Patt's, the one a male child about four years old, the other a female child about two years old. The above described Negroes took with them, besides their own wearing apparel, three coats, two of which were lined with a light grey color, both new; one of the two was a great deal too large for either of the said fellows; the other coat of brown cloth, half worn; three under jackets, one a velver, another a drab, the other a light colored linsy cloth do, one new pair of Calf skin shoes, lined with linnen and bound with leather, one pair of boots remarkably large in the legs, several pairs of stockings and a silver watch, all stolen: their own wearing apparel as follows—William had on a light-horse regi- mental coat worked with silver twill, (which coat he had when he was brought home to me the first of February last, a round collar jacket (blue,) thickset breeches, patched with cordu- roy in the stride, with other necessary clothing. Jacob, two linsy cloth coats, lead colored, one new the other half worn, blue linsy cloth jacket, half worn, two pairs of linsy cloth trowsers, of a lead colour, the one new the o- ther half worn, tolerable good shoes and stock- ings. Patt has every day clothing, and her children wore home-made linen and linsy, her other clothing not so well known; it is uncer- tain which course they may take, as William is such an experienced coaster. Any person or persons apprehending said ne- groes or founding them, so that their master may get them again, shall be entitled to the a- bove reward, or in proportion for either of them, that is to say, 40 dollars for each of the fellows, and twenty dollars for the wench and children, and if brought home, all reasonable charges paid by BENSON GEARS.

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 10.
MR. FENNO, A PUBLICATION having appeared in your paper of last evening, signed Wil- iam Jackson, stating that I had informed him that captain Jones of the ship Thomas Willon, had the Yellow Fever, I must re- quest you to insert the following affidavit, in order to refute it, and as the piece merits no further reply, I shall leave my fellow citi- zens to judge between us, and refer them to the report made at the Health-office. I do solemnly swear that I never did tell major Jackson that the captain of the ship Thomas Willon, had the Yellow Fever, when I visited her—but on the contrary, I told him expressly that it was not the Yel- low Fever. Philadelphia City, ff. April 8, 1799. Sworn before, ALEX. TOD, Alderman.
I do certify and declare, that I visited the ship Thomas Willon, Thomas A. Jones master, after she arrived opposite the city of Philadelphia; together with Dr. James Hall the resident physician, and the health officer; and I do declare, that neither on our going on board; or while on board the ship; or at any other time, did Dr. Hall inform me that he suspected the capt. or the ship, had the yellow fever; nor did I ever hear him suggest any such suspicion to any other persons. SAMUEL DUFFIELD. April 8, 1799.
As a proof that Major Jackson could not believe the ship to be in so unhealthy a sit- uation as represented by himself, I subjoin the following affidavit. JAMES HALL. AT the request of Dr. Hall, we do here- by certify, that on the 22d day of March, Major Jackson, in company with several Custom-House officers, came on board the ship Thomas Willon, then at anchor below the fort, after remaining nearly half an hour and drinking several glasses of wine with the captain and passengers, being informed of the state of the ship and crew, he was asked by Mr. Williams if it was necessary to stop at the Hospital to be examined, before we went up to the city, to which he answered, he believed not. In the presence of THOMAS A. JONES, JAMES WILLIAMS, W. BROWN, I. H. BAILY. Philadelphia City, ff. April 8th, 1799. Sworn before ALEX. TOD, One of the Aldermen.
MR. FENNO, AS a gentleman, I regret the necessity of contradicting any man's af- fersion, and I regret still more, the necessity of denying my oath—but the faculty knows that there are cases on which emollients cease to act, and which yield only to the knife or the cautery; of this description is that case, which, with reluctance, I am forced to lay bare to the public. Doctor James Hall, resident Physician for the Port of Philadelphia, has asserted that he never said that captain Jones of the ship Thomas Willon, now in our harbor, had the yellow fever; he has gone further, and sworn "That he did not tell me that captain Jones had the yellow fever, but expressly that it was not the yellow fever." Now, let every man, who reads with at- tention the following affidavit, and who re- fers to the characters of the men that have made them, lay his hand on his breast and say what degree of credence is due to Dr. Hall's assertion, or to his oath.
The subscriber declares that after Doctor Hall had visited the ship Thomas Willon, on the morning of the 23d of March, he asked the Doctor what ailed the captain, and was answered, that he had the yellow fever. W. JACKSON. Sworn and subscribed before me, April 6 1799. ROBERT WHARTON, mayor.
In the course of conversation between Mr. Hopkins, Dr. Hall, and myself, on the subject of the ship Thomas Willon, after the Doctor had visited and ordered her down the river, the doctor's opinion respecting her situation was asked, he replied that the cap- tain had had a bad fever at Petit Guave, that he had a relapse at Jamaica, had caught cold on the passage, and again relapsed—that it was highly improper she should have come up before she was visited; he stated that soon after he had come on shore he met one of the members of the Assembly, that he mentioned to him that he had just been visiting a ship, the captain of which had the Yellow Fever, that the member of Assembly was off from him like a shot—from the whole of Dr. Hall's conversation I had no doubt that his opinion was, that the fever the captain had was a relapse of the yellow fever. ISAAC MILNOR. Affirmed and subscrib- ed before me, April 6th, 1799. ROBERT WHARTON, Mayor.
In addition to the foregoing statement to which I affirm and subscribe, I do also affirm that Dr. Hall told me expressly he had no doubt that the captain had the yellow fever. ROBERT HOPKINS. Affirmed and subscrib- ed before me, April 6th, 1799. ROBERT WHARTON, Mayor.
I do certify and declare, that about the 23d of last month, I met Dr. Hall in Chef- ten near Fifth-Street, and that the Doctor informed me in a serious and unqualified manner, that there was a confirmed case of the Yellow Fever on board of a vessel which he had that day visited, and ordered down the river to perform quarantine.—Which information I stated to several members of the Senate and House of Representatives of this state immediately after receiving it from the doctor—and which I also stated in my place in the house of representatives. MICHAEL KEPPELE. Sworn and subscribed } the 4th April 1799. } Corum REYNOLD KEEN.
With a view, no doubt, to repel any po- sitive testimony which might be brought against Dr. Hall's negative assertion and oath, he obtains a most curious negative certificate from his colleague, Dr. Samuel Duffield, consulting Physician for the Port of Phila- delphia. "I do certify and declare, that I visited the ship Thomas Willon, Thomas A. Jones master, after she arrived opposite the city of Philadelphia; together with Dr. James Hall the Resident Physician, and the Health officer; and I do declare, that neither on our going on board; or while on board the ship; or at any other time, did Dr. Hall inform me that he suspected the captain or any of the people on board, or belonging to the ship had the yellow fever; nor did I ever hear him suggest such suspicion to any other per- sons. SAMUEL DUFFIELD. "Philadelphia City, ff. April 8th, 1799. "Sworn before ALEX. TOD, Alderman."
If the two doctors will procure some per- son to inform them what is understood by a negative quantity in Algebra, they may form a tolerable guess what is likely to be the re- ception, by the public, which is pretty math- ematical in its deductions of their negative assertion, oath, and certificate. I shall only premise to the consulting phy- sician, that I think his negative certificate will pass for just about as much, as the resi- dent physician's negative oath and assertion will, when confronted by the positive testi- mony, which has been adduced to contradict them. Doctor Hall made application for another certificate of this kind, but the gentleman to whom he addressed himself, had learned his algebra differently from Doctor Duffield, and refused to grant his negative certificate to contradict affirmative testimony on oath —part of which had already been published in the newspapers. The consulting physician must have much greater confidence in his negative, than I have even in his positive powers. The roads, and the highways, and the streets, and the alleys, are, however, still open to Doctor Hall, and, by diligent appli- cation, I think he may get ten thousand children and old women to certify, that he never told them that Captain Jones had the yellow fever.
For an answer to what Doctor Hall calls a proof that I could not have thought the ship in so unhealthy a situation, &c. [See the captain and passengers' certificate, or affida- vit.] I refer to the following attestation by two honest, dispassionate, and disinterested men. We do hereby certify, that we went on board the ship Thomas Willon, in the river Delaware, in company with major Jackson, on the 22d day of March. Captain Roach went into the round-house to get the man- ifest from the Captain. Major Jackson and captain Ashmead remained on the deck. After captain Roach had been some mi- nutes in the round-house, he requested cap- tain Ashmead to ask major Jackson to walk into the round-house. Captain Ashmead told captain Roach he had already done so, but major Jackson informed him he preferred remaining on deck, and further told captain Ashmead that he thought her a very dirty ship, and that he did not think himself safe in being on board of her. Captain Roach then, on the request either of the captain or some of the passengers, asked major Jackson to walk into the round-house, which he did with apparent reluctance, and the captain offering him a glass of wine it was drank, and a second being offered to them, it was also taken—major Jackson and the subscri- bers continuing to stand while they remained in the round-house.
The subscribers declare they do not be- lieve major Jackson was more than five mi- nutes in the round-house, and that although they were so close as almost to touch him the whole time he was there, they did not hear him say that he did not believe the ship ought to stop at the Hospital—on the contrary, the pilot gave a positive assurance to captain Roach that he would not bring the ship up until she had been visited. Before we quitted the ship, Major Jackson told the subscribers that the bad smell had affected him very much. ISAAC ROACH, BENJAMIN ASHMEAD.

And now, my fellow citizens will do me justice by believing that, in this unpleasant controversy, I have not been altogether ac- tuated by motives of self-vindication. I can at least assure them that my views were ex- tended to another, and an important inter- est. Conscious that no man can justly charge me with a breach of truth, and that no gen- tleman will dare to do it, I should, in silence, have despised the tales which, on this occa- sion, I have been forced to put down by the oaths and affirmations of other men; and had not a sense of public duty compelled me to expose such shameless conduct and asser- tions, which, if longer tolerated, may eventu- ate in the most disastrous consequences to our

city, I should not, although attacked in this most indecent and unprovoked manner, by some, who are strangers to the interests and feelings of our community, and by others, who, like them, are strangers to decorum, have condescended to enter the lists with such antagonists.
Whether further cognizance will be taken of this affair by that authority, to which it officially belongs, remains to be seen. I have done my duty, and however the consequences may affect myself, I am careless of them.

IMPORTANT FACT.
The President of the United States has recently come to a determination to raise the 24 additional regiments, which a late law of Congress provisionally authorized him to do, and the officers will be immediately appointed. It seems that an apprehension of immediate danger has operated upon the President's mind, and determined him to this measure.
We are told there is reason to believe that the French have determined on an invasion of some of the Southern States. It is not to be supposed that their designs are to be effected by any great armament from France, but by the more sure and fatal operation of secret emissaries, who will combine the slaves with the enemies of our government in Virginia, Kentucky, &c. and thus employ the force of the country in its own destruction.
NEW-YORK, April 3.
The fatal effects of security and supineness have been too awfully displayed on the continent of Europe, in the subversion of government, and the destruction of all order and happiness in that convulsed quarter of the globe, that one would imagine every nation and every man, would at this eventful period be "at all eyes, all ears" to the public safety. Yet, astonishing infatuation, AMERICANS pursue their private interests with ardor, while their political concerns with the most criminal listlessness. They behold the storm gathering its tremendous horrors in the skirts of their own horizon, and yet are unmoved. Fellow citizens, this apathy merits the severest reproaches. You see an incendiary band of desperate ruffians preparing to wrap your dwellings in one general conflagration—and yet you fold your arms, and hope no mischief will befall you. Amazing folly and delusion.—No: Frenchmen without, and French partisans within, meditate—and if you are not united, vigilant and firm, will accomplish your ruin.
COMMUNICATION.
Friday evening a dispute arose between captain John Saunders, of St. Augustine, and captain Peter Sackett, of this city, which ended in a challenge given by the latter, which was accepted by the former. They accordingly chose their seconds, and next morning repaired to Powles-Hook, where each one took his ground, and the latter fired and killed, upon which the former stepped up and told him that his life was in his hands, but he feared to take the advantage of a naked man, and fired his pistol in the air, upon which their seconds interfered, and the contest ended.

COMMUNICATION.
When the whole country is disturbed and alarmed by a daring band of wretches openly defying their government at defiance, it behooves us to apply ourselves in seriousness not merely to the simple object of crushing that object of crushing that insurrection and punishing those insurgents who have annoyed the public peace, but to some solid and settled means of warding off future similar scenes of inquietude and oppression. A government like ours, peculiarly depends for the success of its administration, upon popular prejudices. A knowledge that it has been resisted with impunity, endangers new resistance; and every thing that it loses in dignity and vigor, is gathered up by a power which lurks in secret for its destruction. The insurrection in Northampton, seems to have subsided; and the mischiefs, untimely furred up to action by their short-sighted deluders, have vanished at their nod. It seems extremely proper and necessary, that the men who by their misrepresentations excited this country to its late absurd and ruinous delirium should feel the weight of the sedition law.
It is apprehended, there can be but little difficulty in substantiating by the evidence of their own hands and seals, the activity and exertion of certain persons in this way, who it is nevertheless to be feared will be suffered to escape with impunity by means of a too great anxiety to chastise the ostensible agents. The wound should be probed to the bottom, and these men, should as eminently feel the retribution of justice, as they eminently violated the dictates. They should be exiled forever, at least from that country, and all future communication with it, interdicted to them.
The gallic mammoth has found in the verdant fields of Naples, a repast much needed to refresh his famishing spirits; but the suffocation he there devours, is deadly poison to him. It is there he will shed his tusks, and there deposit the last remains of that adventurous greatness, which had nearly rendered him a non-descript.
The infliction of exemplary legal punishments upon those shocking monsters, who have so frequently and so lately disturbed the peace of the city, by their outrages, will doubtless fill their patron and protector, Fouquier Tinville, the infamous, with grief and shame: But grief and shame, in the decline of life, are of short duration.

Extract of an authentic letter from the Camp at Quaker Town, dated April 8, 1799.
"We are here now two days, and shall proceed immediately to Miller's town; when we reach that place, I expect to be permitted to return home. We have been successful since we let out, and shall have a drove of rascals sufficient to fill a gaol; we have already taken 31 of them, 15 of which there is sufficient proof to convict of high treason; the others of misdemeanor. Some of them are frightened almost to death; the fear they are in, is punishment almost sufficient for the greatest of the offenders. By to-morrow night we shall have about 50 more bad fellows; the small fry are admitted to bail. The main guard is pretty well filled.

McGurk, whose trial and conviction before the last Mayor's Court, was published in yesterday's gazette, has been sentenced to a fine of 40 dollars to the Commonwealth, and to pay costs of prosecution—to give security to keep the peace and be of good behaviour, for twelve calendar months, himself in the sum of 200 dollars, with one or more sufficient sureties in the same sum, and to stand committed until the sentence be complied with.
At the same time sentence of five years imprisonment, and a penalty of one thousand dollars each, was pronounced on three culprits, convicted of having set fire to the prison of this city.
The trial of Joseph Scott, indicted for an assault on Mr. Andrew Brown, concluded the April sessions. From the evidence given in this case it appeared, that the defendant had gone to the house of the prosecutor, in company with one O'Flanagan; and while the latter was committing the most inhuman and unmanly outrages on the person of Mr. Brown, he (the said J. Scott) stood by a mute spectator—that when an individual attempted to interpose, the defendant in a rude and insolent manner, prevented him from affording relief—and that throughout the whole affair, he had countenanced, encouraged, and facilitated the assault.—The jury, after retiring for about twenty minutes, returned with a verdict of NOT GUILTY.
GRATITUDE.
The citizen Anquetil, a man of letters, attached to the department of foreign affairs in France, has dedicated to the minister Talleyrand, a book, entitled "Motifs des Guerres et des Traites de Paix de la France"—on, Motives of the Wars and Treaties of Peace of France, from the year 1643 to 1783.—He says the idea of the work was suggested to him by M. Talleyrand.
Having expressed his opinion on the war which began in 1755, that England's real motive was "to beat down and to annihilate the French marine, which was recovering itself"—he adds—
"On the other hand, Louis the sixteenth entered into a league with the Americans, not to relieve them from the dominion of England, nor to procure for them the advantages of liberty; but in order to deprive the British marine of the resources of a whole continent, well furnished with ports, whose forces were very useful to the English in their last wars against the French—and in order to recover possession of some parts of the fishery and commerce which the former had invaded; but in which the French did not succeed."
The American advocates for the everlasting gratitude of the United States to France, if they will not give credit to the evidence offered by their own government, should at least respect the declarations of the French themselves—that we are under no obligations for their aid in the American war, in which the French became parties for their own sakes alone, and not to procure for us independence, or any advantage whatever. This declaration of citizen Anquetil may be justly considered as sanctioned by the present government of France.

IT has fared with the poet of the United States, as it has with the manufacturer of cloths; each has a good home-spun ware, and each has failed of railing that fine nap, and giving that brilliant color to their manufactures, which strike the eye of people of fashion. As we may without vanity, be presumed to be at the top of our trade, we have thought it our duty to examine critically and scientifically, the most modish, literary manufactures of Europe, to discover the causes of their tonish superiority; and to avail ourselves of our discoveries, for the benefit of the fine writers as manufacturers of our own country. The great Frederick of Prussia stole the art of making China from Canton, and the Englishman, Wedgwood, by a similar address, has caused the wares of Birmingham and Stafford to rival the porcelain of Potsdam, and the vases of Etruria.
We shall proceed to acquaint our brother tradesmen with our discoveries in order.
In our opinion, one of the principal causes of the fashionable superiority of poetry, woven in European looms, is the judicious use of epithets. These should be gorgeous, splendid, far fetched, and obnoxious; that is to say, almost unintelligible. The fault of the American Parnassian weaver is, that he makes both warp and filling of strong, plain, good sense, when the stuff will find a much readier market, if he will merely warp with sense and fill with epithet. Doubtless, there is now on hand many a durable piece of American stuff, which would command a ready market, if tampered with choice epithets, after the manner of those ingenious weavers, Mrs. CHARLOTTE SMITH, DELLA CRUSCA, and ANNA MATILDA.
Messrs. COLON & SPONDEE,
Have, at a great expense, erected an Epithet Jenny, with which they card, spin, and twist all kinds of epithets; single threaded, double, twisted, and long rolled epithets, by the hank, or pound. A few real gold and silver wire, and spangled ditto, for the manufacturer of epilogues and theatrical addresses. Ditto tin for songs. N. B. They may be sewed on old plain poetry, so that the team cannot be discovered, through the best Spectacles.

Extract of a Letter from Captain Thomas Truxton, dated St. Christopher's, 16th March 1799,—to the Secretary of the Navy.
"Since I had the honor to write you on the 7th instant, by the Norfolk, I have captured off the Road of Basse Terre, Guadalupe, a Letter of Marque Schooner, called the Union, mounting six carriage guns, and navigated with 32 men (lading, provisions and dry goods) and have brought her into this road."
A TORRENT OF ELOQUENCE.
From the pen of the late Right Honourable EDMUND BURKE.
The following is an extract from Mr. Burke's "Third Letter to a Member of Parliament, on the proposals for peace with the Regicide Directory of France," published since his death—"Mr. B. (says the Reviewers) instead of the whining, pitiful conduct of Mr. Pitt, on the return of Lord Malmesbury from France, would have had the minister adopt the language of menace, and assume the attitude of defiance. Here (say they) he pours out a torrent of eloquence, so powerful and so terrible, that we cannot withhold it from our readers."
"AFTER such an elaborate display had been made of the injustice and insolence of an enemy, who seems to have been irritated by every one of the means which had been commonly used with effect to soothe the rage of intemperate power, the natural result would be, that the scabbard, in which we vainly attempted to plunge our sword, should have been thrown away with scorn. It would have been natural, that, rising in the fulness of their might, insulted majesty, despiled dignity, violated justice, rejected supplication, patience goaded into fury, would have poured out all the length of the reins upon all the wretch which they had restrained. It might have been expected, that emulous of the glory of the youthful hero in alliance with him, touched by the example of what one man, well formed and well placed, may do in the most desperate state of affairs, convinced there is a courage of the cabinet full as powerful and far less vulgar than that of the field, our minister would have changed the whole line of that unprosperous prudence, which hitherto had produced all the effects of the blindest temerity."
"If he found his situation full of danger (and I do not deny that it is perilous in the extreme) he must feel that it is also full of glory; and that he is placed on the stage, than which no more of fire had been afforded the highest heaven of invention, could imagine any thing more awful and august. It was hoped, that in this swelling scene, in which he moved with some of the first potentates of Europe for his fellow actors, and with so many of the rest for the anxious spectators of a part, which, as he plays it, determines forever their destiny and his own, like Ulysses, in the unravelling point of the epic story, he would have thrown off his patience and his rags together; and, stripped of unworthy disguises, he would have stood forth in the form and in the attitude of an hero. On that day, it was thought he would have assumed the port of Mars; that he would bid to be brought forth from their hideous kennel (where his scrupulous tenderness had too long immured them) those impatient dogs of war, whose fierce regards affright even the minister of Vengeance that feeds them; that he would let them loose, in famine, fever, plagues, and death, upon a guilty race, to whose frame, and to all whose habits, order, peace, religion, and virtue, are alien and abhorrent. It was expected that he would at least have thought of active and effectual war; that he would no longer amuse the British lion in chase of mice and rats; that he would no longer employ that whole naval power of Great Britain, once the terror of the world, to prey upon the miserable remains of a peddling commerce, which the enemy did not regard, and from which none could profit. It was expected that he would have re-asserted the justice of his cause; that he would have remated whatever remained to him of his allies, & endeavoured to rec-er those whom their fears had led astray; that he would have re-kindled the martial ardor of his citizens; that he would have held out to them the example of their ancestry, the affertor of Europe and a scourge of French ambition; that he would have reminded them of a prosperity, which, if this nefarious robbery, under the fraudulent name and false colour of a government, should in full power be seated in the heart of Europe, must forever be consigned to vice, impiety, barbarism, and the most ignominious slavery of body and mind. In so holy a cause, it was presumed that he would (as in the beginning of the war he did) have opened all the temples; and with prayer, with fasting, and with supplication (better directed than to the grim moloch of regicide in France) have called upon us to raise that united cry, which has so often stormed heaven, and with a pious violence forced down blessings upon a repentant people. It was hoped that when he had invoked upon his endeavours the favourable regard of the Protector of the human race, it would be seen that his menaces to the enemy, and his prayers to the Almighty, were not followed, but accompanied, with correspondent action. It was hoped that his shrilling trumpet should be heard, not to announce a show, but to found a charge."
