PHILADELPHIA.
SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 25.
From the WESTERN TELEGRAPHE.
THE Scots Irishman has changed his game—The abandoned Jacobins, who have hooked hands with Liane, and laid unto "evil be thou our good," he leaves to the vengeance of their injured country.—He thinks it in vain to probe a rotten limb, for which the amputating knife is the only remedy. That part of the community which he now addresses, although it exhibits more floridity, and appearance of health, yet it is far very far, from being sound—Doubt, doubt, eternal doubt, affects the nerves with a paralytic numbness; and an unconquerable reluctance to declare against dangerous principles corrupts the humor—Principles, on which the bloody hand of experience has wrote "FALSE," in such large characters as must strike the eye of the most heedless observer—There indeed, seems to be so great a tendency to putrefaction, that he has little hope of the application of his Scots pills being able to prevent it.
Oze service, however, the Scots Irishman will render the Small Federalists : He will rescue them from oblivion—The shades of distinction between a Jacobin and a Small Federalist are so fine, that a future Historian would be very apt to class them together, and describe them under the general name of Jacobins. But the poems of the Scots Irishman will be an authentic record, that such a distinct species existed. In the latter end of the nineteenth century, the historian of the United States, recording the transactions of the present time, after delineating the character of Jacobinism , and mournfully dwelling on its destructive progress, may write thus:—"It seems a ramification of the same seed existed, at the same time, in the United States, who pretended to respect the government, and gave a faint approbation to the measures which it had adopted to defend itself and the country from the dreadful effect which we have described, but who still approved and maintained the principles from which these effects proceeded. They were called in the cant of the times, small Federalists . But as no mention is made of them by any writer of these times, that has come down to us, except by an obscure poet, who wrote in an old language hardly now intelligible, it is probable they degenerated into mere Jacobins , and were lost in the original Genus ."
THE SCOTS-IRISHMAN TO THE SMA' FEDERALISTS.

MILTON.
AWA' frae me, ye wavin' gree! Your hums, an' has I canna bide— Ye jist can scud lang wi' the tide, Wi' wind in tail; But ye're na fit the ship to guide In adverse gale.
Altho' ye ken fu' well the port, Instead o' steering straight-gate for't, O' ilka poplar breeze the sport, Ye'd hang, an' swither; Till, in destruction's gulph absorpt, Ye'd link for ever.
Or failing, on a dang'rous coast, 'Mang rocks, an' shoals, an' shipwrecks tost, Whare ilka frightfu' sp'rit an' ghost Shrieks frae the shore, Ye'd fill doubt on, till ye'd be lost For evermore.
Still unconform'd by proof or fact, Ye'd doin' lie in danger's lap, Unheeding compass, chart or map— Or dreaming faint, Ay hoping to find out the track To Patriotland .
Frae your weak han's—Lord keep the helm! For should misfortune come pell-mell on, An' wild confusion o' our helm— Poor feckless crew!— Ilk ane maun strive to save himsel, then— Not look to you.
In stead o' scouring up your swords, Ye listen to deceitfu' words, The dolefu' screams o' ra'v'nous birds , What hope ae day, That ye an' a' the land affords Will be their prey.
Ye hear what baith sides hae to say— Sometimes turn this, sometimes that way, Like as between twa wips o' hay— Your mind's a road, On which opinions pass an' fray, But find na' abode.
Whan Harper pours his manly fence In a strong tide of eloquence, Ye think, round property a fence 'Twere best to draw, 'Gainst those who pay nae reverence To right nor law.
But, when the Gallatin does growl About tw' essence, wil' rufu' scowl , I'll say it charms ye to the soul To hear him squall. Like that ill-boding bird, the Owl, On ruin'd wall.
"Peace, peace," ye cry, "an' moderation" "Will be maist uelc'm to the nation, "By hailing in a middle station, "Between the parties." But are may judge by your profession, Which way your heart is.
Gif ever things come to a puff, We'll co'uld tell (but I will hush) Which hidey uppermost would with— Sure ye'll declare For philanthropic bug an' dugs— I'll fays nae mair.

NOTES.
* Their attachment to Jacobin principles , by which are meant the doctrines of equality, sovereignty of the people, and right of resistance, which, unless exploded from all free, and legitimate governments, no regular system of civil liberty can have long duration.—Order and the absolute reign of the laws, which are the very soul of Republics, can never be established. Chaos must forever overspread the political world, and mankind will finally revert to that state of savage independence, and self-government, which we see our Indian neighbours so happily enjoy, and which some humane modern philosophers have preferred to the blessings of civilized society.
† An old name for Satan —This gentleman's character is, at least, a decided one.
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
JOEL BARLOW.
One of the prettiest traits in a Jacobin's character is inconsistency; the faculty of clinging to sides and principles at pleasure.—The following paragraphs, respecting Mr. John Adams, now President, are taken from Joel Barlow's Oration in July 1787 —"Adams to his immortal honor, and timely assistance of his country, has set the great example. His treatise, in defense of the constitution, too confined to state republics, is calculated to do infinite service, by correcting thousands of erroneous sentiments arising from our inexperience—sentiments which, if uncorrected in this early stage of our political existence, will be the source of calamities without measure and without end: Should that venerable philosopher and statesman be induced to continue his enquiries, by tracing the history of confederacies, and with his usual energy and perspicuity delineate and defend a system adapted to the circumstances of the United States—I will not say he could deserve more from his disinterested country, but he would crown a life of patriotic labors , and render an essential additional service to the world." So much for Barlow in 1787.
Now see Barlow illuminated, in 1798. In his letter to his brother Baldwin, which Lyons so kindly published, speaking of President Adams's Speech at the opening of Congress, he says, "We wondered that the answer of both houses had not been, an order to send him to a mad-house!" John Adams in 1787 was a " Venerable Philosopher and Statesman "—in 1798 he deserves a mad-house! Look ye Jacobins ; where is the change; in John Adams or Joel Barlow ? To show an atheist and Jacobin , in his true character, let him see what he said and wrote one year ago!
From the Salem (Mass.) Gazette.
The French Directorial Agent of Guadalupe , Desfourneaux , has at length thrown off the mask of pretended friendship, and proclaimed hostilities with our country. That he had Directorial instructions, to sanction the measure, no one can doubt. The brave Truxton , by capturing the free-booting Insurgent , roufed the passions of the hypocrite, and drew him from the cool wiles of deceit to DECLARE WAR . When a country assumes war, as means of defence—when government, property, morals and religion are threatened—when all the social ties that make life dear to us are dependants—she then grasps the sword of justice, as much as when the laws of the country employ coercion to curb robbers and thieves; it then becomes good men to throw away the olive branch, and form themselves into phalanges of determined foes, to oppose unprincipled enemies.
While peace is talked of, and there are no appearances of its being realized, it has still a tendency to seduce the simple, and to make them coalesce with the Jacobins in their clamors against government. The partisans of France watch every crisis of public affairs with reserved anxiety, while their fertile imaginations distribute insinuations, lies and reproches, to help a successful termination in their favour. Even Desfourneaux , in his War Proclamation , is not un mindful of their intrigues, so congenial to the French character : he pretends to respect negotiations that may have begun. But here we may see by glancing our eyes over the proclamation, that he has variety of views to gratify; one of which is, by making to appear that the Directory are yet pacific, he still promises himself to give activity to the machinations of the Jacobins in this country; another, by having the public plunder deposited in the national coffers of which he is the master, he designs to enrich himself with American spoils, as his predecessor our good friend Victor Hugues did. But, while morals and honesty have retreated from the French , and degraded them into a nation of freebooters, we hope the Americans will not weigh their happiness by money feales, and degrade themselves into a nation of misers.

NEW-YORK, May 22.
Mr. DANIEL N. TRAIN , a young gentleman of genius and abilities, late a pupil of Ruffin , the famous Carver, of Philadelphia some time since arrived in this city, has lately completed the ornaments of the ship Adams , soon to be launched at the Walsobogh , Long Island.—The following is a sketch of these ornaments:
On the head of the ship is figure of the President, represented in the attitude of addressing both Houses of Congress. In his left hand is a scroll, supposed to be his address—his right is raised in a spirited position, as if in the act of bidding defiance to the enemies of America—At his side is a branch of oak, springing from a rock, emblematic of his firmness and patriotic virtues in support of the rights of his country.
On the stern, in the center of the Taffrail, are the Arms of the United States, supported by Syble and Neptune —the latter with his left hand resting on his Trident, and his right extended over our "INFANT NAVY," with some attributes of Commerce—The former reclining on a sheaf of Wheat, with a Scepter in her right hand—in the left is the Key of the Earth, and supporting a Cornucopia—At her side is a Youth with the Emblems of Agriculture, offering its productions for the support of the United States.
The ornamental part of this vessel exhibits a striking proof of Mr. TRAIN's abilities. We wish him equal success in the Carvings for the 44, now building at Corlies's Yard , which, we are told, he is engaged to execute.
ALBANY, May 15.
On Saturday last arrived in this city, from Windsor , in Vermont , a party of 120 artillery, under the command of Lieutenant Leonard and Vates , of the United States artillery. They are all young good looking men; and, we understand, have been chiefly enlisted at Windsor and its vicinity. On Tuesday they went on ship board, and on Wednesday failed for Port Jay , in the harbor of New-York .
Hon. John Myer , Esq. Messrs. Thomas Manly and John Mills , are chosen members of Assembly for Herkemer county—they are fede-alists .
Charles Teed , Nathan Rockwell , Geo. Gomb , Abel Smith , and Abijah Gilbert , are elected members of Assembly for the county of Wettscheffer —the three first are federalist .
John R. Syers , Esq. is elected member of Assembly for Richmond county—a fede-alist .
No doubt is entertained but there will be a majority of ten or twelve decided friends of government in the House of Assembly, at the next meeting of the Legislature of this state. This is tolerable well, considering what sort of a group we had the last winter.
LANSINGBURGH, May 14.
From the result of the election in different parts of the state, we are led to believe that Federalism will again have an ascendancy in our House of Assembly. The counties of Columbia and New-York have entirely changed their representatives. From this circumstance it is presumed, that Virginia resolutions will not in future receive the unmerited attention they were indulged with the last session, and the Massachusetts amendments to the constitution of the United States will find advocates sufficient for their adoption in the Legislature at New-York .
HARRISBURGH, May 15.
An accident took place yesterday morning in this town, which ought to serve as a serious warning to all dealers in Gunpowder: As two men were purchasing the above article at the store of Mr. Henry Fulton , one of them with a view of trying its strength, by flashing a little in the span of his gun, communicated a spark to about 5 pounds which Mr. Fulton was in the act of weighing. The store-house being a good deal confined, considerable damage was done to the goods by the explosion, and the whole dwelling house wrecked in a surprizing manner. It is an extraordinary circumstance, however, and it is with much pleasure we observe, that no one was dangerously wounded. Mr. Fulton , altho' within one foot of the powder, was not so much wounded as the two men, who were some yards distant.

BOSTON, May 21.
THE FOREIGN ARTICLES.
This day presented, though few in number, are later in date, than those published in our last Mercury. On Saturday the Ranger arrived from Liverpool; and is the last vessel from England by three or four days. It was rumored on Saturday and Sunday, with great confidence, that the papers brought by this vessel contained a contradiction of the news we had the pleasure first to announce, of a partial defeat experienced by the French in an engagement with the Austrians. Instead of being contradicted it seems confirmed. The rumor was predicated on a letter from Mafena; which is merely the official account of French successes on the first moment of recommencing hostilities, the private account of which was published in our paper of May 3, and has never been controverted. The private statement, however, made that event of more importance, than it proves to be by the official. That stated 4500 Austrians to have been made prisoners. This, 3500. This Gallic outrage was the first notice the Austrians had of the recommencement of war. For be it known, that Gen. Mafena, without special provocation, attacked the Austrians at Chur, on the 6th of March; and that the French Directory did not ask for a declaration of war, of the branch of the French Government, in which the Constitution has vested the right to make such declaration, until the thirtieth day of March. And yet they try to out-face the world, and denounce the Austrians the aggressors. Mafena's violence being the first notice of the new war—it is not extraordinary that the unsupporting troops of the Emperor, in the primary conflict should meet with disaster. But it is very probable they would seize the first moment of retaliation. We have no accounts of French success after this affair, and if the news of their misfortune is not true, many days must have been passed in inactivity—which, considering the crisis, and the vicinity of the belligerent armies, is highly improbable. It is, therefore, we think, a just deduction from all circumstances, that the French have been defeated. Indeed, we may conclude from the very latest news, that defeat has not been confined to Mafena's corps, but has been experienced by the grand army under Jourdan. The ambition, avarice, insolence and tyranny of the French, has roused the indignation of the world—has fringed the arms of her foes to mighty deeds; and neither her diplomatic skill, nor infatuate myrmidons can save her from merited flagellation.
IRELAND.
Still continues convulsed. But the strong arm of England grapples her, and prevents her doing much harm to herself, or her protectors; and preserves her from being poisoned by the noxious vapors of French Quacks. Notwithstanding the disturbed situation of Ireland, the Parliament, at the end of March, directed a book to be opened for the Loan of 4,000,000, which there is no doubt will be raised.
THE DUTCH FLEET.
Notwithstanding what has been asserted of their having put to sea; were positively laying up in the Texel on the 24th of March. They were in readiness; and consisted of 6 ships of the line, many frigates and transports.
FRENCH PRIVATEERS.
Among other measures of the French Minister of Marine, for equipping a large fleet at Brest, he has again resorted to that horrid expedient which has been so often and so bitterly condemned in the English, that of impressing seamen. In the progress of this measure many French Privateers have been unmanned, or uncavalry, and are, from that cause alone, we believe, laid up. We have no reason to think privateering abolished in France.
His Excellency Gov. SUMNER.
It is with most painful emotions we inform our readers, that at a consultation of respectable Physicians—they concurred in opinion, that no hopes remained of the recovery of our universally esteemed Chief Magistrate from the Disease with which he is afflicted. In conveying this information, we wish to prepare the public mind for a very distressing event, which we have too much reason to suppose we shall shortly have to announce.
THE LAUNCH.
Yesterday the frigate Boston, pierced for 32 guns was launched from the Continental Ship Yard, at the North End. Every thing was in excellent preparation, and at half past eleven, the spur shores and block being removed, she glided regularly and safely to the element, in which we hope she will be conspicuously honorable to our Country. Her appearance on the water was beautiful and majestic, and commanded the admiration of the best judges. The exhilarating scene, was honored with the presence of the President of the United States, Lieut. Governor Gill, the most respectable Citizens, and a general collection of people perhaps as numerous as ever attended on the like occasion. Capt. Gardner's Company of Artillery, were paraded by that active and spirited officer, marched to the wharf of Jeffrey and Russell, and announced the moment of the launch by suitable discharges from their field pieces. Salutes were also fired from several armed vessels in the harbor, and the American Flag was exultingly hoisted on every mast. The Frigate Boston, has been built by the merchants of the town, to be loaned to government; and very extraordinary dispatch has been made in completing her. Mr. Hart was the Master Builder. The Frigate immediately after she was
afloat was warped to Hancock's wharf—and will, it is believed, very soon be ready for active service.
We venture to assert, that this is the first Copper-bottomed ship built in America, whose bolts and spikes, (drawn from Malleable Copper) have been manufactured in the United States. We think the public are under obligation to Paul Revere, Esq. for his indefatigable attention to this Branch of Naval Architecture, especially at the time when the British Government has prohibited the exportation of that valuable Article.
NEW-YORK, May 24.
Captain Taber, of the brig Lucretia, arrived at New Bedford from the Havannah, spoke on his passage a vessel from New York for the Havannah, from which he was informed, that they had been boarded by a French privateer off the Capes of Virginia, but being in ballast was suffered to proceed; and that he was further informed, there were 3 French privateers, a brig and two sloops, of 12 guns each, cruising between the Capes of Virginia and Sandy Hook.
LONDON, March 28.
A Greek vessel, containing three Frenchmen in disguise, and amongst them a Secretary of Buonaparte's, was captured by a Turkish ship, and the prisoners sent to Constantinople. There was found upon them, in sequins and piastres, about a million and a half livres tournois.
At Smyrna, the French are hunted like wild beasts. Several chained together, had perished in the dungeons, but through the efforts of the English Consul and the merchants, enraged at these cruelties, others were set at liberty, and landed in Italy.

When the King of Sardinia visited the Pope, he addressed him in these words—"I cease to lament my misfortunes since they procure me the consolation of kissing your Holiness's feet!"
The death of Major L. ought to be an example to all young men. He to a Baronet and to an estate of 9000 pounds a year, blest with the affections of a beautiful woman to whom he was about to be married, but devoted to the Gaming Table, he had involved himself considerably in debt. His father Sir William, paid all his engagements on a promise of honor that he would play no more; and it is said that Miss K——, to whom he was attached, further strengthened what is called in play the tying him up, by declaring that their union depended on his swearing himself from the gaming table—lost a large sum—and the next morning, stung by reflection on the forfeiture of his promise, shot himself through the head.

An express boat from Cape Francois, is arrived in the Delaware. Capt. Yard, of this city, has arrived in here, instructed (as we are informed) with dispatches from General Toussaint and Dr. Stevens, (agent for the United States) to the American government.
We are informed that at this time there are actually cruising in the West Indies, 12 vessels of war, belonging to the United States. The apprehensions that have been entertained, that the commerce of this country in those seas, was left in an unprotected state, by the return of so many of the armed vessels, must subside, particularly as several of them are on the point of returning to that station.
