ALBANY, June 7.
While "aristocracy! aristocracy!" has been and continues to be the burthen of the Jacobin song, it may not be amiss to notice a few of the grounds on which have originated that abuse and hostility which have failed and been instrumental in destroying institutions, the fabricators of which were influenced by the purest motives of regard to the public weal and public honor, to all that freedom consistent with justice, and the social and sacred duties of man. In the administration of elective governments, the power necessary to be delegated for the promotion and security of those great ends for which systems of control are established, must be confined to a number more limited, than the individuals whose natural and acquired talents are such as render them capable of speaking the public voice, and directing to the best advantage the public will. Talents, however, are not always the criterion of integrity and virtue: hence the disappointed in respect to honors and preferment, and who seek these not for the good which will result to the community from the discharge of their incumbent duties, but from motives of individual gratification and aggrandizement, are restless under disappointment, and sacrifice truth and honesty to corrupt the public opinion. Imaginary evils are first made the basis of popular alarm, and discontent is excited not on account of the experience of oppression or inconveniences, but on the ground that misfortunes will be the result of the measures pursued by those in authority: thus is the way paved for that conduct on the part of the people, or a portion of them, which may render farther governmental restraint necessary to preserve the system which upholds the civil and political rights and privileges of a nation. Demagogues, and disappointed office hunters, in former days, made the people the dupes of their artifices, and laid the foundation of those vices which undermined, and finally overthrew republican forms, and tyranny was established upon their ruins. If the systems of free governments formerly established, are examined, it will be found in most instances, that the design of the framers, was to secure to the people those blessings which may be enjoyed from equal rights, as respect the protection of life and property, and the due administration of justice; and where is the instance which can be referred to for controverting the position that, when changes, embracing more coercion, have taken place, the departure of the people from that virtue, without the prevalence of which free governments cannot exist, has been the cause of such changes.
In our own country, numerous have been the bugbears begotten by a faction to render the people discontented with their rulers, and to prepare the way for a change of men and of measures—and tho' sufficient virtue and good sense have hitherto influenced the majority to give to the government their decided support, yet it must be owned that the villainous arts of the leaders of faction have excited discontent in various quarters, and rendered the adoption of such laws absolutely necessary as might otherwise never have found a place in the American code. It is indeed true, if the people will suffer themselves to be acted upon to far as to prefer the councils of men whose language and conduct bespeak hostility to the delegated authorities—if they will confide in declaiming demagogues and disappointed seekers for office, and feed a jealousy against the rulers chosen by the major part, that the majority may be forced into measures effectually to check those evils, by power, which virtue and propriety may be unable to control. This has been the case in other states once free; and no just reason can be assigned against the probability of its being the lot of this country to witness a system less mild and happy than is at present enjoyed, should the vices engendered by faction take root too deep to be eradicated by the aids which our national authority at present supplies.
Mr. Madison of Virginia, was the author of an answer to the address of General Washington, to the first Congress under the new Constitution, after his acceptance of the Presidency in that answer Mr. Madison remarked, that America must hold herself responsible for the destiny of Republican Liberty. Madison was then a federalist—but like some individuals in this and other states, chagrined at not being appointed to office induced him afterwards to range himself under the banners of opposition—and thus to favour the views of a faction who have left no measure unflayed to render the destiny of Republican Liberty such as to be avoided, rather than courted, by the nations of the earth. But the early sentiments of Mr. Madison have hitherto preponderated with the majority of the people, and at the present day 'tis hoped are gaining ground, in opposition to principles which he advocated after his regeneration. In Virginia, his influence, combined probably with the influence not only of the Philosopher of Monticello , but also the exertions of the citoyen plébeien, to the Great Nation , and those of the citoyen of "precious confessing" memory, have not been able to prevent that state from returning nine decidedly federal characters as Members of the next Congress. Virginia, North-Carolina, South-Carolina, and Georgia, in the last Congress, furnished a majority of 19 democrats in their delegation—such has been the change of public opinion that the delegation from those states, to the next Congress, gives a majority, of nine friends and supporters of the American Government and its Administration.
In the paragraph immediately preceding, a departure from federal principles is traced to disappointment in regard to office. Who does not believe, had "Philo-Investigator" obtained the Comptrollership, that his zeal in behalf of federal men and federal measures would have burned with its former distinct-
guished light; and that his detestation of Jacobins would have still led him to bestow upon them all those epithets with which the most apparent contumely and hatred of their persons, as well as principles, used to inspire him? and who does not believe, that, had a certain great law character obtained a diplomatic mission to England, the Clintonian coalition would never have taken place, and his footsteps have been still traced in the federal path? and beyond all doubt too, instead of the blazing eloquence of Edward , having been witnessed in Congress against the alien and sedition laws, he would have stood forth the decided champion of still more energetic measures on the part of the government. But as the old saying is sic transit gloria mundi .

WILLIAM COBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOL. 50 CENTS) THE BAVIAID AND MEVIAD. By WILLIAM GIFFORD, ESQUIRE. To which are prefixed, A POETICAL EPISTLE TO THE AUTHOR By an American Gentleman.
[In introducing this celebrated work to the Gentlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to the taste of those for whose amusement and delight it is intended. No expense has been spared in the publication; and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America—This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle, which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to admire, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations.

PHILADELPHIA, May 25, 1799. JAMES HUMPHREYS Respectfully presents his Acknowledgments to those Gentlemen who have been pleased to subscribe to his proposal for a PALE-CURRENT in this City: It having now been suggested to him, that a DAILY EVENING ADVERTISER with the MARINE NEWS, a PRICE-CURRENT, &c. on the following Plan, will be more likely to meet general Encouragement—
HE PROPOSES, And trusts it will meet with their approbation, To publish on MONDAY the 17th of June, And to continue it to such as are pleased to encourage it, THE PHILADELPHIA AND MARINE REGISTER, On the following conditions:
IT will be printed on four pages, large quarto; will once a week at least, every Monday, and oftener as occasion may require, contain the Prices Current of this city, with the Duties on each article; the Prices Current of the different States, with those of Europe and the West-Indies, as often as they can be obtained accurate; also the Prices of Stocks, Causé of Exchange, &c. &c. with a regular account of Port Entries inward and outward, and the Marine Intelligence, foreign and domestic.
The price to subscribers within the city and liberties, to whom it will be delivered at their houses, will be Three Dollars the Year, or one and an half dollar to be paid at the expiration of three months, and the remainder at the end of the year: To subscribers at a greater distance, to whom it will be sent agreeable to their directions, the price will be Four Dollars the Year, two to be paid at the time of subscribing, and two at the end of the year. The utility of a paper to this city on the foregoing plan, properly conducted, must appear obvious to every one; and it is surely unnecessary to say any thing of the great advantage it must have in the Advertising Line, being particularly calculated to serve the interests of trade and business, and of course from the nature of it, as well as from its low terms, must command general circulation. Subscriptions and Advertisements are received by said Humphreys, at his office in 3d Street, opposite the Bank of the United States. June 1. Sat. 3t
G. SHAW,
Respectfully informs the public, he has received from ROBERT JOHNSTON, Apothecary, No. 20, Green Street, Soho, London, a fresh and very considerable supply of his highly esteemed Medicine. AWARE of the depredations made on every public medicine of established repute and extensive sale, R. Johnston, obtained the King of England's Patent for his invention, not "to recommend" but "to distinguish," Whitehead's Essence of Mustard from SPURIOUS IMITATIONS.
"Five years have now elapsed since Mr. Johnston first made known to the world this very extraordinary medicine; during this short period, its efficacy has been so clearly demonstrated that its sale has far exceeded any former example; comparatively there are few families in England or the United States which have not either heard of or experienced its beneficial effects and with heartfelt satisfaction he had the happiness to declare Whitehead's Essence of Mustard has cured more persons afflicted with Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Palsy, Complaints of the Stomach and other Painful Maladies."
Than all the Medicines ever before made public, indeed, the instances of its efficacy and letters of acknowledgment from "the most respectable characters" are innumerable that a large volume could not possibly contain them, it has also obtained the approbation of the most eminent men of the faculty and is honoured by the use and recommendation of the first families in England, Ireland and America. A COUNTERFEIT.
R. JOHNSTON has reason to believe a large quantity under the name of "Improved Essence of Mustard," as well as many others has been shipped for America, and considers it his duty to prevent imposition and disappointment. He therefore requests the afflicted to be particular in the purchase of his bottles, boxes, labels, and bill of directions which are closely copied, and words "by royal authority," artfully substituted for the words "by the king's patent" which may elude common observation. The Genuine is distinguished by the signature of R. Johnston, in his own hand writing on each label, and as an additional security is further signed on the outside wrapper by his only agent for the United States. G. SHAW, No. 129 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, by whom it is sold wholesale and retail, in pills and in a fluid state at one dollar each, box or bottle. FOR CHILBLAINS, SPRAINS AND BRUISES, It is a certain and effectual remedy, seldom requiring more than three or four applications. To the candid and liberal of the FACULTY, R. Johnston respectfully submits the following observations. The Fluid Essence of Mustard, as an embrocation worthy their particular attention, it differs in its nature from all others, and is out of the beaten tract of general practice—It is an active stimulant, easily controlled, may be either increased or diminished in its strength by the different methods of use, it is both elegant and convenient and is frequently found in the extemporaneous prescriptions of their brethren in England. The above Genuine Medicine, as well as many others of the first celebrity may be had by appointment of G. Shaw, or Mr. G. Bailey, Wilmington, Dr. Bargill, Maiden Lane, New-York, Messrs. Bailey and Walker, Charleston, William Black, Salem, (N. J.) Charles Hutton, Lancaster, A. C. Jorden, Norfolk, John Roberts, do. David Keen, Sweet Springs, Virginia, R. Lee, Baltimore, L. & J.

Richard Winter & Co. Savannah, and in every principal town in the United States. N.B. The public are desired to enquire for Whitehead's Essence of Mustard, all others being a base and spurious imitation. GEO. SHAW. 229, Chestnut-street, where Venders may be supplied. "Caution against Counterfeits." Agents are appointed by G. Shaw in every principal town of the United States, and there is no certainty of purchasing the Genuine Essence of Mustard in any part of America, unless it is signed on the outside wrapper by G. Shaw, No. 129, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, where shopkeepers are supplied and a liberal discount allowed them. May 13

TERMS
Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public.
TERMS.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars 75 cents per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars, whole bound but, as the publisher does not intend to print many more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers. Each volume will contain about three left of letter-press from the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those former ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost inestimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation. The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798.

We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom, render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves.

BOSTON, June 8.
GRIEVOUS MORTALITY.
The painful task has devolved on us, to announce an event, which though expected for some time past, will not be read without the most painful regret. Yesterday died, in the 53rd year of his age, to the unspeakable grief of an affectionate family, and of a sympathizing community, His Excellency INCREASE SUMNER, Esq. Governor of this Commonwealth.
The disease under which he labored, was uncommonly painful; but his patience and resignation were equally remarkable, and his exit peaceful and easy.
A lively remembrance of his public virtues will be cherished in the breasts of a grateful people; and the friends of their country will mingle their tears with those of his disconsolate relatives.
This distressing event was yesterday announced to the Legislature, by his honor, the lieutenant governor, in the following
MESSAGE.
Gentlemen of the Senate, & Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, It is with the deepest sorrow that I communicate the melancholy event of the death of his late Excellency Increase Sumner, Esq. which happened this day about 11 o'clock. I am ready to attend to the Executive business of the Commonwealth, agreeably to the provision of the Constitution; and shall also be ready to unite with you, in our respects to the remains of so worthy and valuable a chief magistrate.
MOSES GILL.
Council Chamber, June 7th, 1799. [Committed to the President, Hon. Messrs. Sexton, Jones, Davis, and Mason, of the Senate; and Messrs. Speaker, Sprague, (of Lancaster) Smith, (of Boston) Skinner, Titcomb and Storer, (of Portland) of the House to report thereon.
Immediately on the announcement of the death of our late beloved Governor, the bells were tolled for one hour.
We understand the funeral will be on Wednesday next.
The Boston frigate is almost completely rigged. She bids fair to do honor to her name.
A letter from capt. Andrew Cazneau, of the ship Britannia, of Boston, to his friend in this town, gives the following account; which though the event was not entirely fortunate, may serve as another specimen of American spirit:
"On the 15th April, at 3 P. M. I fell in with a French privateer of 10 guns, and 95 men, and engaged her for three quarters of an hour, but he having so much the advantage of sailing, run up along side, and boarded us with 50 men, and obliged me to submit: They had killed two, and wounded three of our crew, and we killed seven of them. Myself and all hands were taken on board the privateer, and at 8 P. M. the same day, were taken by the Surprize, capt. Hamilton, and at one A. M. the Surprize retook the Britannia, and sent her into this port (Jamaica)."
The Britannia mounted eight 4 pounders, and 14 men.
We with "our General" would when in town, take a view of our wharves, enumerate the ranks of shipping, which have recently wasted into port the riches of the world; and hear the busy din of industry which animates every section of the metropolis; and then ask himself, what number of those vessels would at this time have been devoted to pamper the vices of picarooning Frenchmen—and how great a portion of the sweet music of the ax and hammer, which enables the industrious to taste the "early Charlton, golden hothouse, and marrowfat," would have been annihilated—had the nefarious object of his non-arming town-meeting been accomplished. Citizens. *Heath.
THE BRIGHT AND DARK side stated.
The following passage from the new play of "Lovers' Vows," deserves to be presented to our readers. At the request of Baron von Wildenham, the Pastor waits upon Amelia, to speak of Matrimony in general. She desires him to begin with the disagreeable side, that "the best might be preferred to the last."
PASTOR.
WITH the disagreeable? Oh, madam, when two affectionate congenial hearts unite, the marriage state has then no disagreeable side. Hand in hand the happy pair journey through life. Where they find their path occasionally strewed clear their way. If a stream crosses their steps, the strongest bears the weakest over; or if a rock is to be climbed, the stronger takes the weaker by the hand—patience and love are their companions. What would be impracticable to one, to their united efforts proves but sport—and when they have the summit, the weather wipes the sweats from the brows of her more vigorous partner. Their joys, their pains, are never divided guests, nor will one ever experience a pang of sorrow while transport warms the bosom of the other. A smile illuminates the countenance of both; or tears distil from both their eyes. But their raptures are more lively and extatic than single unparticipated joy; their sorrows less corroding than solitary woes; for participation enhances the one, and alleviates the other. Thus their whole life resembles a beautiful summer's day; beautiful, even tho' a transient shower may intervene; for showers refresh the face of nature, and the sun bursts from the cloud with renovated lustre. And when the evening of their day draws on, it finds them surrounded with flowers, which they themselves have planted and reared
ed patiently awaiting the approach of night. —Then, then, indeed; for night will come —the one takes the lead and first lies down to sleep, and happy that one to whose lot it falls; the survivor wanders in melancholy solitude weeping at not being allowed to sleep also. And this is the only disagreeable feature of such a marriage.
AMELIA—Oh I will marry!
PASTOR—Right madam, this picture is alluring: but recollect that 'tis a picture for which two loving and congenial hearts fat as the models. But if motives of mere convenience (what the world generally terms prudence) if parental authority, rashness or caprice, tie the bonds of hymen, then alas! the state of matrimony has no agreeable side. No longer free and unshackled, man nor woman walk with light and airy steps, but victims of a late repentance drag along their galling chains. Satiety is depicted on each brow. Images of lost happiness, painted in strong colors by imagination's delusive hand, and more tempting in proportion as they are unattainable. Sanguine and romantic hopes, which happily might never have been realized if this marriage had not taken place, but the practicality of which the mind holds certain, if the parties were not fettered by wedlock. These ideas incessantly harrows the soul, and condemn them to actual suffering, where otherwise patience would only have been called into exertion. Gradually they accustom themselves to contemplate their irksome companion as the hateful cause of all the evils which beset them. Gall infuses itself into their conversation, coldness into their caresses. To none are they more captious, from none more apt to take offence, than from their wedded partner; and what would yield them delight in a stranger, is viewed with apathy in the person of their nearest connection. In this manner, with averted face and down cast eyes the hapless pair drag on through life, till at length one lies down to sleep:—then exultingly the survivor lifts the head, and triumphantly exclaims "Liberty! Liberty!"—And this forms the only pleasing feature of such a marriage.
AMELIA—I will not marry!
NEW-YORK, June 11.
THE ADAMS is a ship built after the model of the Flora, English frigate, a vessel that out-sailed every thing that ever came in sight—Indeed, she was so much valued for her sailing, that she was raised (after being sunk at Rhode-Island during the war) and made a West-India merchantman. She was a vessel like the ADAMS, unequalled for beauty and model. The ADAMS is a 32 gun frigate, her heaviest metal 12 pounders—of which she carries 24. She is 710 TONS burthen, and will carry 225 men—commanded by Richard Valentine Morris, (son of the old General, of Morristown) whose abilities as a Sailor and a Soldier, in the true meaning of the words, have never been called in question, and 'tis presumed never will be, except to hear from him that fitteth in the chair of state, Well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a small frigate, I will make thee ruler of a seventy-four. She will sail in about two months, and it is rumored her destination is the Mediterranean and Gibraltar station; she will find enough amusement in that quarter, no doubt—and we hope that she may prove to her country and the convoy she may take in charge, "as a Wall of Fire round about them and a Glory in the midst."—She hauled over to town yesterday afternoon, and will fit for sea with all possible dispatch.
We are informed that a letter has been received by a respectable merchant here from the supercargo of the ship Ontario, who has arrived at Rhode-Island, with the Doctor and seven of the men. The supercargo informs, that the remainder of the ship's company are on board the ship Swift, bound for this port—but the Ontario is totally lost.
HOLLAND.
Capt. Pepper, who arrived at Boston from Holland, in a very short passage, furnishes news of the French disasters. He contradicts the information of an insurrection in Holland. We did not expect such an event from the heavy Dutchmen. He says the French troops are principally withdrawn—and the people are pleased at the circumstance, because provisions are plentier and cheaper. Many Dutch men of war have been dismantled, and their crews discharged.
Though we do not ascertain Holland to be in a state of insurrection, it appears from one fact, to be in an unusually perilous situation. A Lawyer, appointed Minister of Justice refused to accept the office, although the law punishes such refusal with 8 years exile, and total loss of the right of voting; and the salary of the Minister of Justice is 900 guilders per ann. The Dutch paper which contains this article, adds that so frequent are the refusals to accept offices, that compulsion must be resorted to, or the government will be disorganized.
Foreign papers say, that there never was so many pieces of artillery employed by an army as now by the Austrians. In one action they had 300 pieces incessantly playing upon the enemy during the fight.
The Danes are fitting out 11 ships of the line; and have laid an additional duty of 10 per cent. on East and West-India Goods to defray the expence.

COMMUNICATION.
HOW differently the real patriots of the United States, and the American Jacobins, are affected by the disasters of France. If the French are compelled to retreat after a battle, the Jacobins declare that they gained the battle, notwithstanding the circumstance of the retreat, which will appear in the sequel, to have been a pre-concerted maneuvre to encircle the Archduke, or some Austrian General, and make the capture of Vienna more certain, and that no credit whatever is due to any accounts selected from either English or German newspapers. Why this extraordinary earnestness, and anxiety for French successes? Is it because they see, or think they see, in their successes, the downfall of the American government? Such dreadful hopes, nourished by the party in Holland, in Geneva, in Switzerland, and those other countries, which France has directly, or indirectly, subjected to her power. These lessons, so far from weakening the confidence of the Jacobins in French fraternity, seem to invigorate and strengthen it. They are willing, provided they can reign here, to suffer the French directory to be Vice-roys over them. The real Patriots of the United States on the other hand, do not endeavor to diminish the disasters of the enemies of France, by comments or denials of well authenticated facts, nor conceal the pleasure they feel, at any increase in the number of her enemies; at the same time as lovers of their country, they cannot but rejoice at every event, which weakens the power of the Directory, and diminishes their resources to extend their dominion, by bringing under their subjection all parts of the civilized world.
It is certain that a proposition was made in the Directory by Carnot to give to the Duke of Parma, a portion of the Papal territory, and Modena, in exchange for Louisiana and Florida, which Carnot said, the King of Spain would have ceded to France, with the design of procuring to the Infant, a more considerable establishment. The declared object of Carnot in this exchange, was "to REPUBLICANIZE A VAST, AND BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY IN AMERICA, WHICH WOULD NECESSARILY GIVE TO FRANCE, AN IMMENSE INFLUENCE OVER THE UNITED STATES."
This Carnot, it ought to be known, was thought to be the Director, who was most inclined to favour the United States. The Directory, it appears, rejected Carnot's proposition upon two grounds. 1st. They did not wish to create a new kingdom in Europe, and 2dly, Better informed than Carnot, they knew that they could obtain the Florida's and Louisiana on much easier terms from Spain, and at a more convenient time for their purposes.
Is it then matter of surprize, that the real patriots of the United States, should feel the utmost horror for French friendship and perceive no security for their country, but in French disasters, and in REAL, not PAPER PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.

Also arrived the brig Rover, Stubbs, from Lisbon, after passage of 63 days; consequently brings no news.
Extract of a letter from Wilmington, (D.) dated Tuesday last.

To the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser.
SIR, I read with pleasure in the Mercantile Advertiser two weeks ago the beautiful Latin Epitaph of Dr. Lowth on his Daughter, "Cura Maria vale." &c. as well as the excellent English version which accompanied it. I have in my possession a translation which approaches nearer to the Latin original than that of the Crewkerne Scholar, though it partakes not so largely of the spirit of Poesy. If you think proper to insert it, it is at your service, and I shall be happy to see it occupy a corner in your paper.
