the underlined Minister Plenipotentiary considers it his duty to remark to the Secretary of State, that the neutral governments or the allies of Republic have nothing to fear as to the treatment of their flag by the French, since, if keeping in the bounds of their neutrality, they cause rights of that neutrality to be respected by the English, the Republic will respect them. But if weakness, partiality or other motives, they suffer the English to sport with that neutrality and turn it to their advantage, could they then claim, when, France, to restore the balance of power to its equilibrium, shall act in the same manner as the English? No, certainly; for the right of a nation consists in granting to belligerent powers the same advantages, and that right no longer exists when, in the course of the war, that neutral nation grants to one of the belligerent powers, advantages not stipulated by treaties or to the war, or suffers that power to seize them. The neutral government cannot then in if the other belligerent power will enjoy advantages which its enemy enjoys, or, if it seizes them; otherwise that neutral government would, with respect to it, from the line of neutrality and would become its enemy. The underlined Minister Plenipotentiary thinks it his duty to develop these principles. He is not doubt that the Secretary of State feels all force, and that the government of the United States will maintain from all violation a neutrality
Mr. FINNO, You may be assured that the following is from the FOUNTAIN HEAD of Democracy. It may justly be called A BAIT FOR GUDGEONS. [To be said or sung.]
FREE MEN OF PENNSYLVANIA. Take caution. The aristocrats of our country are endeavoring to deceive you with the name of Washington. They presume to call their "Washington ticket." Beware fellow-citizens of the Washington ticket, it is intended to support the election of the monarchist ADAMS, and begins with the name of Israel Wheeler. OUR REPUBLICAN ticket begins with the name of Thomas M c Kean, and is intended to support the election of the REPUBLICAN JEFFERSON. Believe us, fellow-citizens, that your President Washington loves a republican and hates a monarchist. He therefore wishes that the republican Jefferson may be his successor.
Free men of Pennsylvania Take caution—or you'll rue the day Th' aristocrats you may believe us Are now endeavoring to deceive us With the name of Washington To make their ticket freely run With most consummate impudence To which we have the sole pretence Presume to call it by a name 'Tis our's by patent to defame. Then fellow-citizens beware, This ticket is a cunning snare; It is intended to support That friend of monarchs and a court— John Adams they design shall seal in By the name of Israel Wheeler. Our ticket is republican, And this the compass of our plan— Remember on it first is seen The worthy name of T. M c Kean; And to support it is intended, A name which freedom has defended; So pure a democratic son, God ne'er before made such a one. Believe us, fellow-citizens, (We never lie with tongues on pens) Your Washington—the truth we state Loves what we love—hates we hate; Republicans and monarchists, The first adores—the last detests— Whene'er the helm he quits, he wishes That we may share the loaves and fishes; That Jefferson the great professor, May be by us made his successor.
long years the flam'drous peal has rung orth to south, on every demo's tongue, , they curs'd him in their drunken dreams; , the press groan'd with their lying themes— sw—to crown the whole, they'd blast his fame, king their designs and his, the same.
of a letter from Hagar's town, (Maryland,) dated 21st October, 1796. General Heister has been here twice within few weeks, and appears to have taken very much pains with some of our citizens, to prejudice them against Mr. Adams, to whom they were very favourable; and what renders it more probable, are the means which he has used on occasion, considering that he is not an inhabitant of this state, and of course an intruder at our elections; this is also the more barefaced, as he and only have lately been completely defeated in this district. It is only since the general's visit we have had the pleasure of seeing several of his denouncing John Adams as a monarchist and the patriotic Jefferson. The general, extreme affection for this district, has furnished our citizens with some select and choice extracts from that gentleman's book, merely to save good farmers the labor of reading so voluminous work, which, were they to do, would prove-convey to them an opinion of that writer, different from that which the general wishes to create.
a meeting of a number of citizens, at Ogden, New-market ward, October 29, 1796. Tickets for electors, which have been published in the news-papers, were read, and it was unanimously agreed to support the following as a truly Republican Ticket. Having been framed and recommended by a meeting of a number of the members of the legislature, and other citizens, the friends of good government, from different parts of the state, immediately previous to the rising of the assembly, viz. Michael Whelen, Philadelphia, Samuel Miles, Mary Wynkoop, Bucks, John Arndt, Northampton, Eleazer Eckhart, Berks, Thomas Bull, Chester, Robert Coleman, Lancaster, John Carson, Dauphin, William Wilson, Northumberland, Samuel Poffethwaite, Cumberland, Robert Hay, York, Jasmin Elliott, Huntingdon, Samuel Douglas, Fayette, John Woods, Allegheny, James Stokely, Washington.
motion it was resolved, that the following be signed by the citizens of Pennsylvania, be signed by the chairman and published. New-Gazette, period when the peculiar situation of our country and the chief magistrate of the United States, are we summoned to the choice of electors of a President and Vice-President, and on the prudence of that choice, will in a great measure depend our future peace and happiness. Whilst the desolating sword of War is destroying the fallen countries in Europe—America is kept in peace. The wise and prudent system of policy, adopted by our present administration, dispelled the clouds which for a while darkened our political horizon, and secured to our country prosperity and happiness. We are now to determine, whether, approving of the measures adopted by George Washington, and sensible of the blessings they have conferred on our country, we will choose electors who have uniform-

ly evinced an approbation of his conduct, and are therefore expected to give their suffrages in favor of men who will probably continue the present system of wise and patriotic policy. If such is our determination, the persons now recommended will naturally become the objects of our choice. To the prudence of those republican citizens, sincerely attached to our national government, we safely entrust the power of making appointments so important and interesting.
With no desire of dictating to our fellow-citizens, and with no interest but what is common to all, do we address you. The happiness of our country is involved in the choice that shall be made, and we therefore solicit your warmest exertions in support of characters whose suffrages will ensure the peace and prosperity of the United States.

stances similar to those of '93; a fees itself obliged to abandon, with respect to them and neutral powers in general, the favourable line of conduct they had pursued, and to adopt different measures, the blame should fall upon the British government—It is their conduct which the French government has been obliged to follow.

M. FENNO.
A scurrilous writer in your Gazette of Tuesday evening last, under the signature of Phocion, asserts as follows.
"We are informed by the Newspapers that Randolph has been to visit Mr. Jefferson, and has announced his determination to serve if elected President; he has not yet announced his own determination to return to his former Secretary-ship, if his friend should be President; but his activity in canvassing for him, leaves no room for doubt as to his wishes and expectations: it is apprehended, however, by some of the friends of both these characters, that a late legal call on one of them, for the immediate settlement of some old accounts and balances, will prove highly injurious to both."
The baseless of Phocion's insinuation, Mr. Fenno, as contained in the above paragraphs, will be best exposed by publishing Mr. Jefferson's settlement of his public accounts as Secretary of State, made at the Treasury of the United States, the 30th of December, 1793, being the day before he retired from the public service; for which purpose I send you an authentic copy of that settlement, certified by Mr. Moultrie, Register of the Treasury, showing that the balance of 4786 dollars, 67 cents, then stated to be due from Mr. Jefferson, was on the said 30th of December 1793, paid into the Bank of the United States by Mr. Jefferson, and passed to the credit of the Department of State with the bank.

From a London Paper of September 19.
It is rather strange that Buonaparte should not have taken the trouble to inform the Directory of so important and signal a victory as that announced in Garrau's letter; nor is it less singular, that neither the General of Division who acquainted Garrau with those brilliant exploits, nor the place should have been named, from whence he gave this momentous information.
ELECTIONEERING FALSEHOOD.
In a handbill published this morning, signed John Barker, chairman, there is this assertion, that Mr. Adams "avowed, that the government ought to have the authority of changing the constitution." This is founded on an extract said to be taken from an answer to Paine's Rights of Man, under the signature of Publicola, published two or three years ago in the newspapers. It is the truth, that Mr. Adams neither wrote nor dictated a sentence of the publication under the signature of Publicola; nor did he ever see it until it was in print.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
The canals and locks on the Connecticut advance rapidly, and great quantities of produce are daily floating in them.
Blodget's canal, so called, at Amoskeag falls, in the state of New-Hampshire, opens the 18th inst. which is, as we hear, the day that Essex canal, at Patucket falls, opens. Blodget's canal was so near being completed thirty days ago, that fifty tons of timber passed through it. This great and arduous piece of work, cutting through large rocks, making dams and locks of near a mile in length, gradually sinking fifty feet, has been performed in two years and a half, under the direction and at the expence of Samuel Blodget, Esq. of Haverhill, who is the sole proprietor thereof. The aqueduct in our vicinity is prosecuting with vigour.
NEW-YORK, October 29.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in Amsterdam, to their correspondents in this city, dated September 19, 1796.
The news of the day is, that the KING of PRUSSIA had declared WAR against the EMPEROR of GERMANY—that his troops are marching—and that likely the ports of Hamburg, and Embden will be shut against British vessels, to oblige that court to enter into terms of PEACE.
How far the news is certain, we cannot say—but we are certainly on the eve of a general Peace does not take place soon, War is likely to rage with redoubled animosity.
From the Morning Chronicle.
LONDON, September 19.
A Courier from Paris has been expected since Friday last at the house of Count Wedel Jarlsberg, the Danish Minister, who, as we have already stated, has sent to the executive directory for a passport for an English Envoy to go to Paris. The Courier was not returned at 10 o'clock last night, nor has any passport been received. It is necessary to give the public this information.
It is very generally believed that a treaty has been lately entered into between France and Prussia, in which the port of Hamburg is ceded to his majesty.
There is some mention made in private letters from Hamburg, of the King of Prussia and the Empress of Russia, not being on the best footing.

"The country grain has already got up from 50 R. to 64 a 66 per faneg. and as the winter approaches must go much higher; we have not therefore a doubt, but good American wheat, particularly the white sort, will readily sell for R. 60 per faneg. or upwards, during the winter: and what contributes eventually to an advance on that article, is, the very few supplies that can be expected from Barbary, owing to the dissensions in that country, and all foreign navigation being prohibited to most of those ports. Five fanegas are equal to 8 bushels, and 20 Re make one Mexican dollar of your currency. We have had lately some importations of flour from England and France, which sold at sundry prices, from 17 to 20 dollars per bbl. of Spain, on board. During the present troubles, as besides the embarrassments of the court of Barbary, already alluded to, our supplies from Sicily will be totally intercepted by the English fleet in the Mediterranean, who detain all vessels going to or sailing from the ports of Italy, since they have got into the possession of the French. Some small parcels of rice, lately imported here, have sold at 3 dls. per quintal, on board; but this price we consider two high to be supported, unless we should again be unfortunately involved in a war with England, of which there are actually very strong apprehensions; such an event would at once cause an advance on all your products here, and in none more than in fish. The actual price of Raves is 140 to 1200 on board, and bees-wax, at 72 per quintal. beef and pork would answer here, in case of a war with England."

STOP THE THIEVES!!! LAST Wednesday Evening, October 19, between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock, the bed room of Mr. Ricketts in O'Eller's hotel was entered, either by means of false keys, 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. Ricketts'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 circus were going on 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 detecting suspicious persons, who may have a redundancy of cash, which their appearance would by no means befit them to be possessed of. One Hundred Dollars Reward Will be given for securing the thief or thieves, and a further reward for securing them with the property. Oct. 21. d
