FROM THE Anchor Club.
TO develop the causes which continue to confine this country to that tame and dishonorable policy, which has marked all her transactions with France, is a task no less useful than difficult. To remedy an evil, it is first necessary to ascertain the source whence that evil springs. In tracing this enquiry, the farther we advance, the stronger is our ground for alarm. Amongst the most prominent of those causes which have contributed to repress the spirit of America from rising in arms against France, is undoubtedly that power amongst ourselves, that France had it in contemplation to reduce these states under her dominion so early as the year 1756,—that she at that time had agents in Philadelphia, in pursuance of that plan,—that she commenced the war of 1778 against Great Britain, and sent armies to America, with this express view, are well established facts. That this mad conception of her maddest ambition, was resuscitated and warmly cherished by the eccentric projectors of the Revolution, is also authenticated by facts of general notoriety,—by the mission and instructions of the incendiary, Genet, by the history of Fauchet, Randolph, and the Flour Merchants, by the Western Insurrection they produced, by the activity in that Insurrection of the infamous Genevan, a man notoriously sold to France, by the odd adventures of Adet and his train, by the appeal of the latter to the people, in which he exhorts them to abolish their government and cleave to France, by the labors of Lachaife, of Marcellus, of Volney, —, and the rest of her numerous (or rather numberless) tribe of emissaries here.
These are a few of the direct evidences of a systematized plan to reduce America under French domination. The collateral evidences are voluminous indeed. Whether we search for them in public or in private walks,—whether we dive into the records of those perilous instruments of hers, the Democratic Societies, or exalt our view to the Areopagus of the country, on either and on every side, deep and damning circumstances stare us in the face, and compel conviction. In the artful artifices heaped on our great men, by public acts of the Revolutionizers, in their statues of Franklin and of Jefferson, and the apotheosis of the former in the Pantheon,—in their affected humility of conceding to America the honor of setting them an illustrious example, by her Revolution, we discover ramifications of the same system, still undeviatingly, though remotely pursued.
But in working out this grand design, an instrument more powerful, because more extensive and immediate in its operations, and more dangerous from the secrecy, art and address, which it admitted in management, was found in the Press. Through this medium have her servants, in eight years, worked more corruption, destroyed more morality, and excited more ill-temper, than could have been effected by all her other means in a century. It is, in short, chiefly by this means, that she has reduced the country to its present state; and by the manner in which she has availed herself of that engine, no less than in the selection of it, has she displayed a "skill" which our fortune alone has enabled us to countervail.
Presses hired by France, writers hired by France to supply those presses with the fuel of sedition, are of much longer standing in America, than most people imagine. But the necessities of the revolution, called for the more regular and systematic employment of them. In the capital France had a printer, formally appointed and salaried: three "counsellors to the republic," received each 100 louis d'or, per ann. for furnishing the literary stock of this imprimerie de la Republique . Since France commenced her depredations upon this country, the declaratiomations issued from this polluted source, have uniformly dilated upon, these two prominent points,—The power of France and the policy of peace. Every thing, said these, should be sacrificed to peace. By yielding up part of our possessions, we retain the rest along with peace: if we refuse her demands, she is all powerful, and will take the whole.
The Pope (they instance) incurred the seizure of some of his dominions, made war; and they for stripped him of all. The long train of miseries attendant on war, the ghastly crowd of horrors, all reeking from the pencils of perverse poets,—of Southey, Fawcett and of Merry, have been made to pass in review, an hundred and an hundred times. The continual dropping of water will wear away stone. The brain of ignorance, teized with the endless repetition of these fantasies, became impressed with them as oracles of truth, and really looked on war as murder and misery in the abstract. Swift, along the extended line of communication, shot like baneful and portentous meteors, all these degenerating efforts; their impression is at this day every where felt.
A sordid spirit, which has contributed unjustly to bring disgrace on the mercantile character of our country, has also co-operated in retarding a vigorous hostility to the views of France. Amidst all the tricks of the great nation, notwithstanding her role d'equipage, sea letter, and other traps for our commerce, a few men had still contrived to maintain a gainful trade with France, and her possessions;—these all join in the hue and cry against war, and effectively co-operate with the democrats, in enlarging on the blessings of peace.
It is time openly to proclaim the truth, that war is an evil only by comparison, and that it is a contingency in the lot of nations, more dangerous to be shunned than fought. E.
TO THE Promoters of Literature.
THE managers of the Beula Seminary, impelled by motives of pure morality, having resolved to dispose of the following property by way of LOTTERY, in order to assist them in erecting a convenient building for the accommodation of one hundred students, and the necessary professors in the different departments of science—do offer for sale three hundred and fifty lots in BEULA, each fifty-eight feet by one hundred and twenty-five, at twenty dollars per ticket, each ticket entitled to a lot to be determined by ballot; ten dollars to be paid on receipt of the ticket, and the remaining ten on the delivery of the deed. The ballot to take place before impartial men, as soon as the whole number of tickets are sold. The managers, anticipating the difficulty of obtaining cash for the whole, have resolved to receive an equivalent, for some of the lots, in select books; philosophical apparatus, or in produce and materials for building, delivered on the spot.
It may be observed, that the value of prizes in this lottery will be more than double the amount of all the tickets; for 350 lots, would at their average estimation, produce at least 15,750 dollars; whilst, according to the present proposals, the sum obtained for them will be only 7,000 dollars. Tickets may be had during this winter, of Morgan J. Rees, president of the board of managers, no. 177. South Second-street, Philadelphia; who will receive proposals and plans for the erection of the building. It is intended to be of brick or stone; its situation on the summit of a gradual rising eminence, commanding an extensive prospect of the surrounding country; an observatory to be on its top.
Land and out lots in the vicinity of the Town may be had on moderate terms by applying as above. Mechanics and laborers, of good morals will meet with encouragement. jan. 19. 3aw2m

PHILADELPHIA,
TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29.
COMMUNICATION.
AT a crisis so momentous as the present, it is the indispensable duty of every native American Citizen, to be constantly on his watch-tower and endeavor by every possible circumspection to detect the embers of a disorganizing faction and expose them to the merited chastisement of those laws, made and promulgated for the general good. With this impression in full force on my mind, I was called to make an excursion a few days ago through the county of Montgomery, where, I was more and more convinced, of the necessity of the most energetic measures in government and promptitude in those whose duty it is to enforce laws; from observing what I once supposed was confined within the city, the alarming extent and increasing virulence of the United Irishmen.
Notwithstanding many solemn protestations to the contrary, it is but too true, that this cursed up has infected our atmosphere also and poisoned the current of life in many of our once worthy fellow countrymen—I was induced to investigate the cause of this growing calamity, that if possible I might snatch one deluded citizen from this destructive influence.
First—It appears that in this county, as unfortunately in too many others within this state, a great disproportion of outcasts from the French and Irish nations; but particularly of the latter, have unguardedly been admitted as settlers. These, discovering ample scope for the display of their disorderly talents, have combined with certain Americans, who have sold their birthright for a potage and others, citizens by name; but nature abhors the unnatural reality; are constantly inveighing against the proceedings of our government, which on all occasions they prevent, because their wishes tend to the production of every species of confusion.—Thus their first step is to create a want of confidence in those representatives, whose talents must eventually prove the salvation of the nation; and this among those whose deficiency in point of information, prevents them from discovering the dangerous tendency of such suggestions.
Second—But the most ostensible reason I conceive to be owing to the great number of democrats who have been advanced to the office of magistrates, either through gross inattention, or as more than probable, through the particular favor of one, who, if really a friend to our constitution and constituted authorities, has a peculiar way of evincing it. These magistrates, so far from discountenancing, in every instance make it a point to encourage that illiberality of sentiments which relates to men and measures; because it is perfectly congenial to their own feelings. From these causes the spirit of disaffection is growing to an alarming degree.
Judge of the truth of the above from the following facts:
At the late election in this county, two judges, violent democrats, posted on the bench in opposition to one honest, worthy servant of the public. The clerk, a jacobin Frenchman, who has been keeping up his part of the farce for some time, by assuring the unsuspecting that the President was in too much haste for war—that the French government as he called it, sincerely desired to be on the most friendly terms with us—of this he was fully informed by frequent letters from that country, particularly during the delay of Mr. Gerry. From this retailer of deception first originated the report among this people, that the directory had revoked the orders for capturing American vessels—that many of their privateers were laid up, that an ambassador was to accompany Mr. Gerry for the purpose of accommodating all differences, and yet he does not hesitate to say, that we only are the aggressors. Thus you see we have one of the juggling lift among us, who, though an alien may pass such censures on our administration as best suits his purposes, and that in the presence of Irish democratic magistrates who not only suffer such insolence to go unpunished, but countenances his vote at elections!!
Further—A candidate for a seat in the House of Congress, has since the election acknowledged that his success was owing to ingenuity—of what kind, we learn in part from one of your publications some weeks back; and now, that the judges, whose opinions predominated at the election, did actually suffer several to vote for this candidate, who were neither Americans nor citizens. This appears to be an age conspicuous for ex-divines becoming political judges.
Further—A very full meeting of these discontented gentry was held on the 29th ult at the Inn of Mr. ——, for the purpose of appointing committees of conference agreeably to their nefarious constitution, which committees were to meet at the house of Mr. ——, on the 12th inst. no doubt to make arrangements for communicating with the societies of the same stamp in the city.
The most notorious character in the above group, is said to be an Irishman, who, for a length of time, commanded a company of United Irishmen in his native country; but finding himself closely pressed by the vigilance of authority, he abandoned his wife and Ireland for America in 1792 or 1793—Here discovering a wide field for the exercise of his savage principles, he commenced his career by refusing to become an American citizen and associating particularly with those who have long viewed the regularity of our government with malevolence.
Since the promulgation of the alien bill (which I sincerely wish had been passed ten years ago) this captain John, if you please, has been assiduously engaged in riding about the country, for the purpose of misleading the people as to the true intent of this bill,
the house tax, the stamp tax, and the sedition bill. Having founded the alarm for rebellion, he was elected as the most proper person to ride in character of a courier, to notify and collect the members of the different committees!—For you must know, such is the authority vested in the general body, that many are appointed who were not present; this is considered as the most effectual method of scaring a wavering or timid disposition.
This champion of sedition is attended generally by a very loquacious waiter (an apt fellow for a recruiting corporal in this business) many years older than himself and from the same country. This last has long since been placed upon honorable record by the legislature of Pennsylvania, and therefore conceives he may with some plausibility make a second attempt to stop the wheels of government.
But what shall we say of that man (an old man) who having faithfully discharged his duty to his country during the revolutionary war, now attaches himself to the measures of this infamous band? Who, that he may conceal his political apostasy from the zealous friends of administration, is constrained to have recourse to that badge, which none but truly virtuous Americans should wear! Who, to gratify private animosity seeks public ruin, by becoming a spy for an army of foreign and domestic cut throats. Rare business for one upon whose head time has long since placed his mark!
But these government reformers, cloak their movements under the specious pretext of communicating upon the subject of preparing a petition to be presented to congress for the repeal of the laws before noticed. If this is their intention, why not admit others to their meeting, than those who have evinced themselves inimical to the present administration? Why aliens and seditious apostate Americans only?
Why appoint those for their committeemen, whose views tend to the destruction of public tranquility? Why not others, for even in Nazareth some good may be found.
Wherefore send a man to embody their committees, whose irregular conduct in Ireland, obliged him to fly from merited justice and whose officious behaviour in this country, proves him unworthy the name of an American citizen; wherefore, but for motives which they dare not name. S.
PROPOSALS BY BENJAMIN DAVIES, For publishing by subscription, a periodical work to be entitled The Philadelphia Magazine and Review; or, Monthly Repository of Information and Amusement.
AFTER the many fruitless attempts, which have been made to establish a publication of this kind in Philadelphia, the proposals now submitted, will, perhaps, at first sight, appear to be nothing more than soliciting disappointment. When, however, we observe an eager thirst after knowledge spreading through all parts in our country, and when we consider, that, in these pursuits, Magazines and Reviews are of universally-admitted utility, we are led to believe, that former undertakings in this way have failed from some other cause than the want of discernment or liberality in those, to whom the Editors looked up for support.
From causes, which are too evident to need enumerating here, America is, and long must be beholden in a very considerable degree, to the presses of Great Britain. The literature of the two countries is, indeed, a sort of common stock; but, for one publication of ours, we receive, at least five hundred in return. While this is the case, it is extreme folly in the publisher of a periodical work, to reject, from a sort of spurious patriotism, all information, however useful, and all amusement, however delightful, merely because it is not of native production. Obvious, however, as the justice of these remarks must appear, we have very little doubt in our minds, that an obstinate adherence to a contrary notion has been the principal cause of the want of success, experienced by those who have gone before us.
Reason and interest unite in dictating to us a different plan. The Miscellaneous part, and principal part, therefore, of the Philadelphia Magazine, will consist of choice selections from the newest publications of merit, that shall appear in Europe; but, particularly from the various periodical works published in Great-Britain, of which we have taken care to insure the very earliest supply. At the same time, we trust it is unnecessary to say, that we shall always receive with pleasure any original productions of genius, in verse or prose, of our own country; and we flatter ourselves with the hope of being often favoured with the agreeable task of giving to such productions merited praise, and extensive publicity.
In selecting and arranging these materials, to suit the various tastes of our readers, we are sensible how difficult a task we have undertaken. To please all, we do not expect; it would be a vain presumption. But we are resolved to give offence to none, so far as conflicts with the superior respect we owe to the sacred cause of religion, morality, and social order. In these are involved the glory and welfare of our country, and they will always be the Polar-Star, that shall guide our labors.
The Miscellaneous will be followed by a monthly Summary of News and politics, foreign as well as domestic; under which head will be comprised a succinct account of the Proceedings of the General and State Legislatures, and the titles, at least, of all the laws they shall enact.
The next part of our undertaking, is a Review, of the principal works of note published in Great-Britain. For this we must necessarily have recourse to the Reviews of that country. Though it will be impossible for us to furnish as complete an analysis as that from which we shall take our materials, we shall not fail to give such an account of every publication reviewed in that country, as will convey to our readers information sufficient to enable them to avail themselves at a very early stage, of every valuable performance that shall appear. The advantages arising from such information are evident. For want of it our professional men and men of taste are always kept a year or two in the rear of those of Great-Britain. We do not hear of a work till a long time after it is published, and many very valuable ones we never hear of at all. All the various injuries and privations we suffer from this source will, we flatter ourselves, be entirely done away by a steady adherence to our plan.
To that of foreign, will be added a Review of Domestic Publications; and here, we must confess, that we feel some diffidence, because the execution of the task must depend, in a great measure, upon the abilities of ourselves. How-
ever, with a firm resolution to be guided by decency, candour and truth; and to take genius and virtue by the hand, whenever, and in whatever garb, we may find them; with no wish to wound the feelings of any but the wicked, and with the most sincere desire of seeing our countrymen shine in every department of literature, we doubt not, that we shall be able to acquit ourselves to the satisfaction of all those who have the good-nature fairly to appreciate our motives, and the justice to make allowance for human imperfections.
The work will close with a monthly record of Marriages, Births, Deaths, Promotions, and other casual incidents.
As to what concerns the politics of this country or of Europe, at this momentous period, we shall always view with jealousy every measure of the French Government, and it's ever-active emissaries; and it in this respect some men consider us as partial or prejudiced, we shall submit to their censure. For to all who are convinced that the war, which now desolates Europe, and menaces this country, is a war of ambition and plunder, on the part of France, that nothing can induce us to conceal our sentiments, or to withhold the small assistance that we can contribute to oppose them. For this reason we intend to devote a page or two of every number to historical facts, anecdotes, and remarks on the Politics of France, from the age of Louis the Fourteenth to the present more alarming epoch. For more than a century past has that restless and ambitious people been like a volcano in the centre of Europe, disturbing the surrounding States by its intrigues, and once in every eight or ten years overwhelming its most fertile countries with devastation and carnage.
Indeed it is more than eighteen hundred years since the great Roman Orator thought it his duty to warn his countrymen against that conduct and those principles, for which the present race of Gauls are as justly to be dreaded as their savage ancestors: "Gallis fidem non habendam, hominibus levibus, perfidis, et in ipsas Deos immortales impis."
By the proper management of this topic our countrymen will be able to see the real character of the nation, which the formerly considered as their friends, and now more justly execrate as their most dangerous enemies; and they will be better prepared to appreciate any overtures, that may be made hereafter, for the restoration of peace and amity.
In the execution of this part of our design, particularly "we look with confidence for the support and assistance of all persons who shall consider our motives as laudable, and therefore with to contribute to the success of our design;—of all who think, with us, that the press has been too long an engine of destruction, and that it ought, at length to be rendered a mean of preservation, and an instrument of protection."
"CICERO. "Literature, well or ill conducted, is the great engine by which, I am fully persuaded, all civilized States must ultimately be supported or overthrown." Pursuit of Literature.

WHEREAS , By an Act of Congress passed the sixteenth day of July in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety eight, the President of the United States is authorised to borrow on behalf of the United States from any other body or bodies politic or corporate, or from any person or persons, and upon such terms and conditions as he shall judge most advantageous for the United States, a sum not exceeding five millions of dollars, so however, that no contract or engagement be made which shall preclude the United States from reimbursing any sum or sums borrowed at any time after the expiration of fifteen years from the date of such loan. And whereas , it is declared by the said Act, that so much as may be necessary of the surplus of the duties on imports and Tonnage beyond the permanent appropriations hereforecharged upon them by law, shall be pledged and appropriated for paying the interest, and also for paying and discharging the principal sum or sums of all the monies which may be borrowed, according to the term or terms which may be fixed, pursuant to the authority aforesaid— And whereas by the said Act, the faith of the United States is pledged to establish sufficient permanent Revenues for making up any deficiency that may hereafter appear in the provisions before-mentioned for paying the interest and principal sums, or either of them, of any monies which may be borrowed pursuant to the said Act. And whereas the President of the United States did by an Act or Commission under his hand dated the ninth day of January in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety eight, authorise and empower, the Secretary of the Treasury, to borrow on behalf of the United States, any sum not exceeding in the whole, five millions of dollars and to make such contract or contracts as should be necessary, and for the interest of the United States, in pursuance of the Act of Congress above recited.  Now therefore, the undersigned, Secretary of the Treasury, in pursuance of the Act of Congress, and the authority from the President of the United States, above mentioned, doth hereby on behalf of the United States of America, contract and engage in manner following, to wit:
1st. A book for receiving subscriptions to a Loan of five millions of dollars for the use of the United States shall be opened in the city of Philadelphia, at the Bank of the United States on Thursday the twenty eighth day of February ensuing, which book shall continue open for the purpose of receiving subscriptions, until the whole of the said five millions of dollars shall be subscribed. It more than five millions of dollars shall be subscribed on the first day of opening the said Loan, the surplus shall be deducted in proportion to the sums subscribed by individuals, exceeding four thousand dollars.  2d. For every hundred dollars which may be subscribed there shall be forthwith deposited and paid the sum of twelve dollars and fifty cents, and like payments of twelve dollars and fifty cents, shall be made within the first ten days of the months of April, May, June, July, August, September and October ensuing. The Secretary of the Treasury however reserves the right of reducing the number of installments by special agreement, with the individuals who may become subscribers.
3d.
