TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.
Fellow Citizens,
IN disclosing the constitutionality of the Sedition law, some notice was unavoidably taken of some other objections that have been made to it and which the remonstrance very truly repents as of inferior weight. It has been objected that this law has created new offences—what are they? The law has been verbally laid before you, and relates only to two kinds of offences, unlawful conspiracies against the government and laws of the United States, and malicious libels against the government or either house of congress or the president. Is either a new offence? You have been told that an unlawful conspiracy to subvert the government, or to prevent the due execution of the laws, is an offence newly created by this act of congress. Rather I should say it was an offence created by the constitution, was coeval with it, and punishable as a treasonable conspiracy to oppose and prevent the due execution of the powers of the constitution or of the laws, be deemed a new offence? I almost blush while I answer before a sensible people an objection so futile as impudent. "If (says the remonstrance) we were influenced by any vague opinions of the right of the government to defend itself by laws against libels, riots and unlawful assemblies, we should be checked in no small degree by the spirit of the provisions against treason, which may be defined a direct attack upon the existence of the government. Supreme in enormity as this crime is, it is restricted to two cases expressed in language which for centuries have been fixed by judicial decisions." What, is it denied that the government may defend itself by laws against libels and treasonable conspiracies? Can any proposition more directly attack the existence of the government than this? Does it not explain the intentions of the authors and patrons of the sentiments contained in this remonstrance from Alabama? Is treason itself more directly pointed against the existence of the constitution than the sentiment that the United States may not protect and defend themselves by laws against conspiracies for stopping the wheels of government? Because, by the constitution, "treason against the United States" is defined to be "levying war against them or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort," it is inferred in the remonstrance that a conspiracy to commit treason is no offence at all, or that it is a new offence, unknown till the sedition law was passed. Can this, for a moment, be conceived to be a just inference? But suppose a new offence has been introduced by this law, I demand of any good citizen, who loves his country, if it has no been proper in itself. Congress is empowered "to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions." If such be the power of Congress, it seems to be their legislative duty to make a call upon the militia for any of those purposes as seldom necessary as possible—or shall the laws be suffered to be impeded in their execution by combinations of conspirators, until such combinations are suppressed by the militia?—shall insurgents be permitted to organize themselves for serious resistance, before the hand of government shall be stretched forth to reduce them to obedience? Rather, ought not all such unwarrantable and destructive conspiracies to be prevented in the due and ordinary course of legal punishment, and the militia be relieved from the painful service of using arms against their fellow citizens? Are not treasonable conspirators the precursors of treason? If the former may rightfully grow up and flourish, and there can be no law to prevent them, will not their fruit be open rebellion and treason? I cannot believe that this doctrine has been generally seen in its true light in this state. It is a doctrine too unnatural, too unreasonable, too monstrous for any prison to advocate, who have a real wish for the continuance of our constitution. While it takes away the power of self preservation, it gives a vital stab to it; and I am sure that many who have been led by means of gross misrepresentations of this and other laws to complain of them, have not a wish to put an end to the government. Another case of dissatisfaction is stated to be, that the expressions of the law are vague and uncertain; and that old offences are newly masked. To this, a short answer may be given. Examine the law and you will find the expressions the same as have been always in common use among us, and whose meaning has been definitely settled in our courts. An unlawful conspiracy of a number of persons, with intent to oppose and measure of the government, directed by the proper authority, or with intent to impede the operation of any law, or to intimidate or prevent any person holding an office under the United States, from performing his duty—seems to be language adapted to the understanding of every citizen. So also, "to counsel, advise, or attempt to procure any insurrection, riot, unlawful assembly or combination, with intent" to do either of the evil acts beforementioned, seem to be words equally plain and intelligible. "To write, print, or publish; or to procure to be written, printed, uttered or published; or knowingly and willingly to assist or aid in writing, printing, uttering or publishing, any false, scandalous and malicious writings against the government of the United States or either house of congress, or the president, with intent to defame either of them," are expressions free from doubt; and I regret to observe, that offences have been too long permitted with impunity. In all these cases, an evil intent is indispensable to constitute the offence; and in all trials the jury possess the exclusive right of deciding whether the intent be good or bad. To give force to objections of this kind, it is painful to remark the misrepresentations which have found their way in the remonstrance. It asserts, that "the turpitude of a public officer may deserve censure; and yet if there be a combination between two men to exhibit him to the world, as unworthy of confidence for that very conduct, this may fall under the severe, denomination of intimidating or preventing him from undertaking, performing or executing his trust or duty." This is not truly said of the law. A public officer is still an object of candid scrutiny as heretofore. He may be exhibited in his real colours, as freely now as at any time heretofore; and there is no restraint upon speaking or printing the truth of any public officer whatever. As to libels, those only are mentioned in the law which defame the government or either house of congress, or the president, and every other officer remains under the ancient protection of the laws and constitution. Equally shameful and groundless is the assertion, that "he who barely records political events, and draws conclusions from them unfavorable to a president without any intention to publish them; the historian who writes now, but postpones the publication until the tumult shall have subsided is liable to a fine of two thousand dollars and an imprisonment of two years." In the same spirit it is also said that "if a printer be timid, he will discard every picture of public affairs or public servants, which is not so emblazoned with flattery as to shield him from the possibility of punishment." In a former paper I endeavored to show that the freedom of the press was unabridged, and if I have proved that to your satisfaction, which I trust I have done, nothing remains to be added to prove the fallacy of these assertions. But as if determined to reach the highest point possible for the purpose of alarming your fears, the remonstrance states that "one neighbor cannot lend to another for perusal a newspaper, which he knows to contain an assault on the president coming within this act, because this would be uttering or publishing." I have observed already that there can be no offence committed against this law without an evil intent, such as the law has described. How then can the harmless loan of a newspaper be tortured into a crime? What is there in the law, or any law of congress, which warrants so incredible a representation? Is it not an experiment on your credulity and an insult on your understanding? I pray you to consider by what means, and for what ends, so many erroneous statements, and so many disquieting assertions are to be found in a remonstrance coming from a country in which, at least, correct information might be obtained.

LONDON October 2. The British fleet is certainly at sea, in considerable force; Government received intimation of the fact on Saturday, and letter from Falmouth, received this morning, states that the American ship Mount Vernon, Capt. Merick, from Baltimore, has arrived Wednesday last, about 20 leagues West of the Scilly Islands, he fell in with the Clyde, Mermad, Ambuscade, and Stag frigates, when a boat from one of them boarded him, and informed him, that on the preceding day they had fallen in with nine sail of French men of war, with troops on board, which they supposed to be destined for Ireland. The frigates dispatched a cutter to seek Lord Bridport's fleet, and were steering for Ireland with the wind at East.
The Government account of the above force makes it consist of two sail of the line and nine frigates, and some apprehensions are entertained that their destination is not Ireland, but the West Indies; we will, however, hope, that Lord Bridport will be able to fall in with them. He failed from Torbay on Wednesday last.

CONGRESS AT RASTADT.
September 15.
Yesterday evening the French legation delivered in the following notes to the Imperial Minister Plenipotentiary.
The undersigned ministers plenipotentiary of the French republic for negotiating a peace with the German empire, have received the note of the deputation of the empire, which was communicated to them on the 15th Fructidor (Sept. 21) by the minister plenipotentiary of his Imperial majesty.
Whatever may be the satisfaction which the undersigned may derive from the pacific language of the deputation of the empire; whatever may be the confidence they are disposed to place in it, they are nevertheless compelled to observe, that after more than nine months spent in negotiation, words, and even intentions, are not sufficient; realities are necessary in order to prove a sincere desire for peace. Peace must be concluded, and the undersigned are unrelenting in their endeavors to hold it out. It is true, indeed, that the deputation seems at present disposed to emerge from that state of indecision in which it has been held; it has recently assented to one of the important demands which have been made in the name of the French republic (to wit) the demolition of the fortifications of Ehrenbreitstein; and this assent, which it this day renews, is expressed in a manner which shows that the undersigned were not deceived when they made the uncontradicted declaration, that they regarded and accepted that assent as pure and simple. But why permit to remain in one of the preceding conclusions the conditional disposition that had crept into it? Why frustrate the good effects of a revolution, which, by obviating difficulties, and by restoring to the sacrifice made by the deputation the whole of its merits, might have given to the French government

an additional assurance, of the reciprocal loyalty of the negotiations, and a firmer solidity to future engagements? It is also true that the deputation of the empire flews itself fully disposed to cede to the French republic the fortified island of St. Peter; but it seems to set an exaggerated price upon that cession, which would considerably reduce its value, and even the mere proposal of it would induce a belief that the deputation too easily forgot the many sacrifices which the French government has already made with a wish to restore peace to the empire.
It is in general a mistake, and one can and ought to repeat it, to think of establishing between two contracting powers a reciprocity of advantages rigorously exact: that nice balance is scarcely ever to be found, either in the nature of things, or the respective position of persons; and if it could be admitted in the present negotiation, it is evident that there would result from it a real inequality for the French republic, which in that case would not only lose a considerable part of the proportional satisfaction which is due to it, but which would also be diminished in its hands the important advantages which it might have preserved, and which diminution would rise from the effect of that reciprocity. Such a system, utterly irreconcilable with any peace whatever, and much more unfounded, when contrasted with the splendor of the French victories, could never be seriously insisted on by sincere and judicious negotiators.
Notwithstanding these observations, which were deemed necessary, the undersigned will not deny but that the note of the deputation of the empire has offered them some amelioration in the state of affairs, and the happy though tardy possibility of a result impatiently looked for by both nations. It appears, indeed, from the analysis of that note, that at least all the essential difficulties are now reducible to these three questions:
 1. The retaining by the French, or the restoration to the empire, of the fortified places Kehl and Cassel.  2. The transfer upon the countries given in exchange on the right bank of the Rhine of the debts which shall fall upon those ceded on the left bank.  3. The application or exemption of the French laws concerning the emigrants. All the rest, as the deputation observes, will be easily adjusted, when the great obstacles are removed. The attention of the undersigned then is wholly directed to these three questions, and the examination they have given to them has been the more scrupulous, because the two last seem nearly to affect the welfare, the liberty, and the fortune of a great number of families in the two states; objects which the French government holds sacred in its political relations with other countries, as well as in its internal administration. Accordingly they do not hesitate to make the following proclamations and declarations, at the same time under the express reservation that the fortified island of St. Pierre shall immediately be ceded to the French republic, and at the same time all the clauses and conditions annexed to the demolition of Ehrenbreitstein, and other demands of the undersigned, shall be annulled. 
1. It would be useless here to relate the well known reasons which so powerfully induce the French republic to retain possession of Cassel and Kehl, with their dependencies. The same reasons still prevent them from agreeing totally to abandon these possessions. It is natural to believe that the princes and other states of the empire should consider this point in a political view, that they should ultimately regret their not having sufficiently perceived or properly appreciated this object. But instead of a salutary confidence, in seeing several fortified places in the hands of the French, they seem to have experienced an opposite feeling. In order to expel all apprehensions, the French republic gives up the fortresses of Kehl and Cassel, which shall be dismantled, and only shall retain the territories.
2. With respect to the debts; the deputation surely have not presumed that the French government could agree to any arrangement which should be calculated too sensibly to depreciate the cession of the left bank of the Rhine; to perpetuate between the two nations the seeds of intricate difficulties, and to transfer to a territory united to France the expense of the war, which the empire itself has incurred. The debts of the countries ceded, as the undersigned have uniformly said, shall be transferred to the countries on the right bank given in way of indemnification; but the republic will consent that the provincial and communal debts, with the exception of those which may have been contracted on account of and for the expenses of the war, shall be and continue to affect the ceded territories. The rights of the third creditors are reserved.
3. The undersigned declare, that the laws respecting emigration are not applicable to countries ceded and not united, not even to Mentz. They make this consolatory declaration with pleasure; but as the article to which this forms a reply, is enumerated among the 18 articles annexed to the note of the deputation of the 3d of March, and this article is connected with articles mentioned in the note of the 11th of the same month, it is proper here to explain this point precisely. The undersigned declares then, that they have now answered those articles and propositions in every point capable of discussion, farther refusing themselves to their note of the 19th Germinal, and declaring that the French legation does not, and never can regard these articles and propositions, but as isolated, distinct from one another, and independent of all others, and that they will oppose every application of them employed to invalidate or elude the point agreed upon.
The ministers plenipotentiary of the French Republic present this note as the pledge of peace.
France and Germany being now the judges of the affair, the French legation flatters themselves that the deputation of the empire will unite with them in this opinion, and that they will not take upon them the responsibility of being the first to produce a rupture. They give the minister plenipotentiary of his majesty the emperor their assurances of the most distinguished consideration.
(Signed) BONNIER, JOHN DEBRY, ROBERJEOT. Rastadt, 28th Fructidor, Sept. 14, 6th year of the French Republic.
The undersigned ministers plenipotentiary of the French republic for the negotiation of peace with the Germanic empire, received on the 28th (Sept. 14) a second note from the deputation of the empire transmitted to them by the minister plenipotentiary of his majesty the emperor.
The particular object of this note is to demand the recall of the republican troops on the right bank. The undersigned invite the deputation of the empire to weigh well this truly solemn demonstration since the opening of the conferences—that the executive directory of the French republic is sincerely desirous of peace and a speedy and perfect reconciliation between the two states; that it desires nothing so much as to see not merely diminished but entirely suppressed, by the happy inutility of defensive precautions, the circumstances connected with the present situation of affairs, and that this anxiety for precaution may utterly cease.
The deputation of the empire cannot, on its side, fail to perceive, that the demand which it renews at present is premature; that the abandoning the military positions being necessarily the first consequence of an effectuated pacification, there is no peremptory reason why the troops of the republic should be withdrawn from the other side of the Rhine. By repeating an observation thus essentially just, the undersigned will avail themselves of it, in order to throw a very bold and ungrounded assertion on, propagated far and near, and which the enemies of the French nation will, doubtless, not be backward to circulate and enforce. It has been said that the republican troops had transgressed this line marked by the annuity. The ministers plenipotentiary of the French republic give a formal and full contradiction to this pretended fact. They assert that the republican troops have not overstepped the lines fixed on for the two armies. This example, to which it were easy to annex others of a similar nature, ought to have reminded the deputation of the empire to guard itself against all kinds of reports, exaggerated or absolutely false, which may have been, or shall hereafter be made to them, uniformly with the hope of exasperating the public mind, and perhaps to withdraw their attention from designs that are truly hostile. No one can be ignorant that certain individual hardships are inseparable from the transition from a state of war to that of peace: it is not the fault of the undersigned that this transition has not proved happy and rapid; it behaves the deputation of the empire to become daily more thoroughly convinced that the most efficacious labor that can ever be exerted for the false and happy ones of nations, are principally and only those that tend to prevent the calamities of war by a speedy pacification. It belongs to the deputation to yield to the wishes of the Princes, and of all the inhabitants of Germany, whose remonstrances, and even whose complaints swell into a cry for peace. Then all subjects of uneasiness on either side must cease, and the remembrance of past sufferings will be drowned in the enjoyment of a tranquil and durable prosperity.
The ministers plenipotentiary of the French republic, in closing the present note refer themselves expressly to what they have declared in their first note of this day, relative to the 18 articles annexed to the note of the deputation of the empire of the 3d March, and to the hints thrown out in the note 11th of the same month.
They assure the minister plenipotentiary of his imperial majesty of their most distinguished consideration. (Signed) BONNIER, JOHN DEBRY, ROBERJEOT. Rastadt, 28th Fructidor, Sept. 14, 6th year of the French Republic.
HAMBURGH, October 6. They write from Paris under the date of 28th September, that further accounts were received there of Buonaparte's landing in Egypt.
The fleet arrived at Alexandria on the 13th Messidor (July 1.) The English fleet had been there three days before. In the night of the 2d July they began landing the troops, and Buonaparte in person went on board one of the gallies, and followed the columns. On the 2d July they landed, and in the evening Alexandria was besieged, before even the artillery had been landed. They had no other arms or weapons than bayonets and ladders for scaling the walls. Two or three hundred were killed or wounded. The division that began the siege was commanded by generals Kleber and Menou. The former was wounded in the head by a musket shot, and the latter received a contusion in the thigh by a stone from the walls. At length French courage conquered, and they took Alexandria. After it was taken, instead of committing any cruelties, they showed the greatest friendship to the inhabitants. The sheriff was kept in his place, and received the tricoloured scarf as a compliment. They took possession of the place and the arms. Buonaparte assembled all the leading characters to insure the safety of himself and army.
When the French came to take possession of some other fortifications, the garrisons of Alexandria, fired on them and killed several. The Arabians intercepted the watering parties, and killed ripe from the ship Tonnant. The same day about 30 Arabs appeared in the neighbourhood, and were surrounded by a detachment of French cavalry, and all killed except one. After the surrender of Alexandria, Buonaparte sent several detachments to reconnoitre the adjacent villages, particularly Rosetta, which place opened its gates and sent a deputation to the French troops with the tricoloured flag.
After Buonaparte had taken possession of Alexandria and the adjacent towns, he embarked his army on the Nile for Cairo, he himself went by land to meet them and take the command. Cairo was attacked; gen. Brun, and the brigadier general Viall, at the
head of the columns, took a situation which ensured them the city. On the 23d July Buonaparte entered Cairo.
On the 28th July admiral Brueys made known these circumstances by proclamation. The battle of the 2d August was already made known through the division generals and government commissioners.
Besides the loss of Brueys, we must lament the loss of Captain Petit Thouars, who lost one of his legs and would not suffer himself to be dressed. He kept the quarter-deck to encourage and command his crew. The English fleet has suferred as much as ours. The French ship Generaux is very probably at present at Corfu. All the gun boats, the ships Le Caule and Dubois, together with all the transports, are either in the port of Alexandria or on the Nile, where they are very safe. Admiral Brueys, who, as it is already known, lost his life in the battle, made the capture of Cairo known on board his fleet, by the following proclamation: "Fellow Citizens, our brave Commanders have taken possession of Grand Cairo, the principal city of Egypt. The Bays placed all their hopes in the defence of this city. Ten thousand Mamelukes attacked them with great violence, but were repulsed immediately. One thousand of them were cut to pieces, and a great number drowned in the Nile. The remainder took to flight in the greatest confusion, and almost the whole of them were wounded. We took all their baggage, took all their baggage, three hundred loaded Camels, and three hundred horses richly caparisoned. The generals Brun and Viall, followed by their brave troops, took the Port of Cairo by assault. The city of Grand Cairo, which contains 400,000 inhabitants, sent a deputation to the French army. General Buonaparte entered Cairo with the acclamations of all the citizens. The Capture of this city ensures all Egypt, and gives another palm to our victorious trophies. Long live the French people, and the French Republic!" (Signed) BRUEYS.

A JACOBIN'S NAME. We are requested to mention the Jacobin's name, who petitioned to Victor Hughes for fraternal treatment. (As stated in the last Oracle.) It was a capt. Malon, in a brig from Philadelphia. We have not been able to obtain a copy of Victor's letter; but it is supposed to have run in the following style:
HEALTH & FRATERNITY. Dear Sir, Your's of this day's date is received.—Can you think that the Terrible Republic needs the support of American traitors? The magnanimous French nation despises such scoundrels! The only discrimination I shall make, is to confine you with greater severity, and keep you on shorter allowance; for the villain who prefers any country to his own, merits the guillotine. V. HUGUES.
Violent Snow Storm.
On Saturday evening last, commenced a violent Snow Storm; Sunday it abated, Sunday night it increased to greater violence, and the wind blew exceedingly hard from the N.E. The tempest continued all day on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and on the evening of Wednesday the weather cleared up. The quantity of snow which fell seems almost incredible, and the oldest people assert that they never knew such a storm to occur in the season. The country posts from various parts inform, that they were obliged to ride through fields for miles together, and some places where paths had been showed, the snow on both sides of the road was as high as their heads when on their horses. They also observed in several instances the snow was so banked against different houses, that it was with great difficulty the inhabitants could get out, until they dug under the banks, and let the snow recede above their heads. A few instances of a similar nature occurred in this town and the vicinity.

The following introduction to the Extract from Mr. Abercrombie's Sermon, was omitted through haste, in yesterday's Gazette.
MR. FENNO. Finding that the sermon lately preached by the Rev. Mr. A. on the opening of the Episcopal Churches has been mentioned with considerable commendation, and a desire expressed by many to see the latter part of it printed—I have procured it from the author, who sacrificing his own judgment to the solicitation of his friends has permitted me to transcribe it for your Gazette. Friday, Nov. 30. M.
A country jacobin insinuates that Joe Thomas has got a captaincy in the army. Thus do these catiffs evince their contempt for one of the most important institutions of this country, and thus wantonly insult the whole body of American officers.
A candidate for congress at the Southward, declares with great force on the decided opposition he is going to shew, in defence of our liberties, against England, France or any other power whatever. This patriotism is certainly of an exceptionable kind; for in the words of Hudibras, it may be alled
"Who have not enemies plus satis, Who came to argue pejus hate us!"
The people of America will cease to wonder at the increased vilification heaped on Great Britain from the press of the Aurora, when they learn that the present "doer" of that infamous paper is a miscreant, whose conduct, as a Printer, in the East-Indies had been such as to call for the most rigorous interposition of the government.
Lord Cornwallis found it necessary to put the forger "Jasper Deight" in irons with an intention of sending him to his account in England—from this situation the culprit contrived to escape to this country.
Quere. Does not the treaty with Great Britain provide for surrendering Fugitives from justice? Or did the vagabond arrive in America anterior to this salutary provision?
Dulness is not the less obnoxious for its greater or smaller quantity. Of this our Jacobin gazettes are striking evidences. From the Farthing Post, to the Daily Royal, they are alike insipid and disgusting. Their wit is of the drum kind, flat at both ends, and as to any thing else, a man might as well look for a Powder House in Hell as for one spark of sense, honesty or truth in their gazettes.
Poets and Orators are licensed in their extravagancies. This circumstance furnishes an apology for the declaration made to the President by his excellency the Governor; viz. "that not only the Officers of the militia, but every individual of the State of Pennsylvania, were ready to defend with their lives the present administration of the Federal government."—This was a bold hyperbole.
The insolent Barras, in the noon-tide of his fortune, vaunted of the esteem in which France was held by her allies. "France, strong in the esteem of her allies," said he, "surrounded by a crowd of victories," &c. —This short-sighted usurper looked only on one side of the mirror. A little penetration would have suggested to him, that the time might (as it has) come, when France, strongly detested by her allies, and surrounded by a crowd of defeats, must condescendingly stoop to the very governments he had most despised, insulted and abused.
How must Mr. H-Devil of St. Domingo have lared when he received Toussaint's mandate to take himself and his Directorial Banditti from the Island at a very short and unqualified notice!
It would seem that the retribution of their crimes is fast overtaking these monsters of iniquity in every part of the world. Nor do we think it requires the gift of divination to predict their complete overthrow before the end of the present century, although to near its close.
The atrocious conduct of the jacobin governor Jackson towards the federal printer McMillan, would alone have been sufficient to shew the despotic disposition of our opposition chiefs, if such proof were wanting to evince that all bawling democrats have ever become tyrants, when in office.
Before our marine establishment had commenced, many said it was a premature business; but now, this veritable this ever changing multitude say "we have been tardy in our naval preparations."
The Jacobins, in their pointless malice, are incessantly railing at establishments, the introduction of which their own vices and misconduct alone render indispensable to the security of the government. Thus a navy, a standing army, or any other institution which is calculated to strengthen the arms of legal authority, and raise it above the daring efforts of faction, are called the "instruments of tyranny" or "the idol of despotism."—Let the wretches relinquish their diabolical projects, & peaceably observe the laws, or it will become the will of every good citizen to see an establishment formidable regular militia, competent to overawe or subdue them.
It is now universally confessed that we ought to have armed in defence of our commerce twelve months sooner than we did; and as it is demonstrated by actual losses that 6 to 8 millions might thus have escaped from French piracy, our Federal Executive are justly entitled to additional esteem for the foresight and prudence they evinced although overruled by the folly or ignorance of their numerous opponents.

In the House of Representatives of the United States, this day, forty nine members only appeared. It requiring five more to constitute a quorum, the house adjourned till to-morrow morning, at eleven o'clock.

COMMUNICATIONS.
MR. FENNO. IN your Gazette I have noted that long expected event, the expulsion of the French agents from St. Domingo, with much pleasure. The many robberies which have been committed by Santhonax and his French successors form a striking contrast with the honorable conduct of the black chief Toussaint, now sovereign lord of St. Domingo, and whatever may be the form of the new government for that island, it must at all events be better than the last. If the British government should join with us in our wishes for the Independence of St. Domingo, it will be fortunate for both countries, and humble the vanity of the Cinque Ictes more than the defeat of admiral Brueys. Add to this the commercial prospects which need no comment. MERCATOR.
MR. FENNO. IN approbation of that spirit with which you have volunteered in your enquiry into the progress of that horrid plot forming in this City, under the name of United Irishmen against our laws our properties and the government of our country, I refer you to an item in their gazette, the Aurora, of this morning, where a bold villain expresses his admiration, that the editor of a New-York paper, Mr. Snowden, should dare to speak in opposition to our enemies, the French, "while there are from twenty to thirty thousand United Irishmen in America." LOOK OUT.

Forty Dollars Reward FOR APPREHENDING A GENTLEMAN NEGRO, By name GEORGE or GEORGE PARKER, the property of the subscriber, who has thought proper on the night of the 21st inst. to escape from his master without any provocation or just cause; he was formerly the property of Beckwith Butler, esq. and lived a considerable time with Potterenger, whose tavern in Frederickburg having been much company and travelled with several gentlemen through different parts of this state, he is much known. It is therefore conjectured he will push for some of the northern cities or towns as he has discovered an aversion to plantation work, though he may perhaps have crossed the ridge where he has a brother belonging to major Butler. This fellow is about five feet seven inches high, well proportioned and walks active and brisk, his countenance is open and agreeable enough when in good humour; he can hardly be surpised in thievishness, and is a very capable waiting-man, house servant, barber, &c. To describe his dress would be useless, as he possessed a variety of clothes, though when dressed lately, he wore a green coat bound with white ferreting and spotted jacket and breeches. Whoever brings him home or secures him in jail so that I may get him again, shall have the above reward. ALEXANDER VASS. Nov. 23, 1798. N. B.—Masters of vessels and Stage Drivers are requested to beware of suffering said fellow to impose on them by assisting his escape. A. V. November 3
