From the Boston Repertory.
The Jacobins, who think, and who indeed have reason to think, that this wise world is governed by names, have spared no pains to get a good name for their party and to fix a bad one upon their betters. It is well remembered that they once boasted of the denomination of Jacobins , and by their clubs became formally affiliated with the mother club of Paris. In the progress of liberty in that happy country whose constitution the Chronicle says is a model for all free republics, "the enlightened government" at length found the bayonet the prettiest instrument imaginable to obtain for "infinite man his long lost rights." Then down with the Jacobins; all France then hissed with execrations against these blood-thirsty monsters. Loud shouted the Chronicle ; down with the Jacobins.
The men who had nothing good in their principles, soon felt the necessity of claiming every thing good by their party appellation. They successively called themselves antifederalists, democrats, the people's friends, and finally republicans. To make such a name stick upon dirt, to give gold leaf upon grease, was no easy matter. It was often sarcastically requested that the clubs would shew their members in procession, that they would print a fair catalogue of their names, and allow the people to laugh at their "friends" at leisure. They most unkindly refused to let this comedy be acted for the public division.
But when Mr. Jefferson made his famous inaugural speech, he took the opportunity when he was using his political whitewash, to daub on the name of republicans; we are all federalists, all republicans, said he. Every body laughed at the awkward absurdity of the phrase, but few however have supposed that he submitted from policy to the disgrace of talking nonsense. Yet, there is little doubt that the object of his speech was to give an official currency to the name of republicans ; and as the federalists are more likely to be ground between the upper and nether millstone, than to see through either of them, they let the Jacobins strip off their old rags, foul as they were with blood and dirt, and bedeck themselves with the borrowed finery of the republican dress. Accordingly, there was not a newspaper that did not nauseate its readers with the word republican.
Be it remembered however, by the federalists, and they were warned of it at the time, the party that tamely suffers itself to be robbed of its good name will soon have nothing left to be robbed of. The federalists are republicans, they ever were such, and so was Washington. If the Jacobins are republicans, then light and darkness are precisely the same. Satan and Pain are two apostles. Washington and Jefferson might be proved to be and would pass for twin brothers. So might Pillsbury Nichols and John Adams or Rufus King and the sagacious Munroe.
The federalist who ever allows the Jacobins to take the exclusive name of republicans, is a poor spirited creature. By refusing to allow the name they must at length take some other, and that of Democrat is at their service. Democrats they are, the leaders excepted, who are Jacobins. Democrats, then let them be in print and in discourse, and let no federal newspaper ever disgrace its types by the mean surrender of our proper and till very lately undisputed appellation.
To cheat any man out of his christian name is ever deemed gross cheating; and one would scarcely expect that Tom Paine and his party would do it.
Not content with the impudent imposture of taking the best of names for themselves, the Jacobins have toiled hard to give the worst they could to the federalists. Anglo federalists is one such, monarchists is another—and they both shew how boldly the jacobin deceivers rely on the cullibility of their ignorant rabble. Was Washington an anglo federalist and a monarchist? Yet no federalist hesitates to praise his administration and to adopt the principles of his last address to the people. Of course every body knows what federalism is. It is not unfrequent nevertheless with Duane, to fish out of his dictionary some lucky wisdom about the proper import of the words federal and antifederal. Many of the quidnuncs among the jacobins have scribbled to prove that the denomination of federalists is not correctly assumed by the followers of Washington; and while we have a chief who is great in little things the microscopic tribe of statesmen will be numerous of course.
Attend then, federalists, to a plain statement and cherish the honorable name which so many worthies were proud to wear.
The states were united 30 years ago by a federal compact; but that compact was loose and inadequate to secure their union. To make it more adequate by giving further authority to the federal head, was the duty of all patriots, and was constantly urged by Washington. It was as constantly opposed from state pride or personal ambition by the Virginia lords, and in particular by governor Clinton. Now who in that day ought to be called the federalists, the advocates of a closer union or its opposers? The answer is given by every man, the advocates certainly.
Will any man of sense, will any fool even who can count his own fingers deny that the federalists, were the men who argued in favor of the adoption of the New constitution? Who opposed its adoption? the present democrats with Jefferson at their head as much as his letters from France could oppose it. Governor Clinton headed the opposers in the New York convention.
There remains then no doubt, who are the federalists, nor why they are properly so called nor what federalism is. And as long as common honesty has any voice in our government, and Connecticut at least still has a voice in congress, we will triumph in a minority that overwhelms the Randolphs and Nicholsons with ridicule and dismay, we will glory in the name of federalists , that Griswold, and Goddard, & Dana and so many worthies have made as we hope forever illustrious.
From the BALANCE.
THE KNIGHT OF 30,000.
"Alas I'm sore beset," was old Norval's exclamation, when detected and obliged to reveal his former knavery; and methinks it would very well suit the present distress of his excellency of Pennsylvania. He is indeed "sore beset." Like Actæon, he is hunted by the very hounds which he himself has trained. He has the whole republican pack at his heels; and since the brave governor appears determined to stand at bay and defy them all, we are likely to see some fine sport.
Were we not too well acquainted with Gov. M c Kean's principles, we might be inclined to commiserate his unpleasant situation. But every audacious fellow has his character and administration; every low, dirty artifice made use of to undermine his popularity, while it excites our indignation against his wicked and unprincipled foes, unluckily for him recalls to memory some transaction that passed while he was a laborer in the vineyard of the people. He is now reaping the harvest of his political iniquity, and we wish him much joy of his crop, but fancy the feast of harvest home will not prove one of the most agreeable.
These republicans are most ungrateful dogs. It was M c Kean who revived and reared the democratic bantling in Pennsylvania. It was he who taught it how to pull down constituted authorities; to blacken the character of every man in power, and then to talk so sweetly and so lovingly about "liberty and '76" and all that. Little did he imagine, simple man! with all his wisdom and foresight, that this sturdy vagabond would one day pluck him by the beard, and call him knave.
If his excellency has not yet repented of his sins, let him set about it immediately. He already begins to feel the force of the scripture denunciation, "with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." This may serve to explain the conduct of his old cronies, which I dare say appears unnatural in the extreme. It may also assist him in swallowing many a bad-tasted bolus which he is yet to receive out of Duane's pill-shop. By the way it is somewhat laughable to see what wry faces his excellency makes in swallowing this fellow's physic; and with how little compunction the brawny Irishman crams it down his throat. But as it is no laughing matter to be obliged to swallow the nauseous potions of this renegado quack, I sincerely hope the good governor will arm himself with christian fortitude, and peaceably suffer himself to be blackballed for the good of the cause.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 3.
Extract of a letter from St. Thomas received per the Mary, Monteath, arrived at Philadelphia, dated June 10.
"From appearances there must be a considerable change of property in these islands. The French have thirty sail of the line and ten frigates at Martinique. The British, (it is said and believed) have 21 sail of the line at Barbadoes. The French admiral has demanded the surrender of all the English islands in due form. If the British fleet has arrived, the answer no doubt will be a noisy one."
Extract of a letter, from London, dated May 10.
"I heard it this morning at one of the public offices, that government having strong reasons to suspect that after Bonaparte shall have returned from Italy, the long meditated design to invade some part of his majesty's dominions, will be attempted, every exertion is making at the out posts, and in the king's yards to fit out and man armed vessels of every description. A hot press began on Monday and still continues. It is imagined that the combined fleets will cruise on the West India station to draw off admiral Gardner, from before Brest; and that in the event of a general junction of the French fleets, a grand attack on England or Ireland will be the consequence."
"A levy en masse is expected to take place. The city light horse are all out this morning. The infantry volunteers are also assembling in their respective districts. Every thing proclaims that, events of importance to the safety of the country, are at hand.—God grant us a good deliverance!"
Extract of a printed circular letter from a respectable commercial house in Liverpool to their correspondents in N. York, dated
"Liverpool, 15th May, 1805. "Since our letter of yesterday, we have received advices from London stating that the treaty with Russia, which has been so long depending, is said to be at last brought to a sort of conclusion. A messenger had emperor with a copy of it ratified by the a treaty offensive and defensive to be effect however only in certain events. The emperor of Russia stipulates to join this country with a certain number of ships, and with all his land forces against France, unless Bonaparte agrees to certain terms of peace, in which the general interests of Europe shall be provided for. In order, therefore, to ascertain the views of Bonaparte on this subject, it is stated that a Russian plenipotentiary is gone to meet him at Milan, and to offer the mediation of the emperor Alexander for the restoration of peace. It is also understood that the treaty with Russia leaves room for the accession of other powers, and it is thought probable that Sweden will accept a subsidy. In consequence of this news, corn and flour are looking up, and the holders now ask higher prices; good wheat would fetch in this market 13s. per bushel of 70lb."
"The Viper cutter, just come in, states, that on the 5th instant she spoke with a Guernsey privateer, which had seen the French and Spanish fleets, on the 3d inst. in lat. 44, long. 15, west, steering a S. W. course. This account rather favors the opinion that they are going to Ireland; but it is still generally believed, that a combined attack on our West-India possessions, is the object they have in view."
Jamaica, which is threatened by the French, was taken by the British from the Spaniards in 1656. Its annual exports are conjectured to amount to twelve or fifteen millions of dollars. It is about 140 miles long, and 40 broad; and probably now contains 50,000 free inhabitants and near 300,000 slaves. If the blacks are attached to their masters, and will act heartily against the invaders, the French will be defeated at once; and if they cannot be trusted with arms by the British in defending the island and it should be conquered, the French would experience with them in a short time a repetition of the St. Domingo tragedy.
Mr. Pitt has assured those immediately concerned, that no time had been lost in preparing for the protection of the West India islands; and that naval and military forces have been sent thither.
A letter from Havanna, dated June 10, says, we have not had an arrival from

On the night of the 8th of January last, brig John and Mary, from Grenada, was wrecked on the south side of the Isle of Sable. The captain perished soon after landing; the people got to Mr. Morris's house, where they were kindly treated; remained till the 15th day, when they left that island in a small boat, and arrived at Lunenburg on the 18th, twelve puncheons of rum were saved from the wreck.
Correspondent at New-York, under date of Saturday noon, writes to us as follows: (Phil. True American.) Arrived this morning, schooner Dolores, Williams, of Middletown, in 17 days from St. Kitts. June 23, spoke schooner Providence, 43 hours from Alexandria for Barbadoes. Captain W. informs, that 4 days previous to his sailing a Hamburg ship for Thomas touched there, the captain of which, 100 leagues to the eastward of Barbadoes, had fallen in with a British fleet of 17 sail of the line, under Admiral Bickerton, in pursuit of the Toulon fleet. News had reached St. Kitts, of their arrival at Barbadoes; but the British islands being embargoed, it was found difficult to obtain correct information. Captain W. informs, that the British homeward merchant ships had sailed from St. Kitts, without delay.
Consulate of the United States of America. St. Petersburg, 1st January, 1805. As there is a probability that very rigorous quarantine regulations will be adopted by this government, in consequence of the extension of the yellow fever to various of the ports of Europe, in order to anticipate them, I conceive it highly necessary, that our vessels in general bound to the Baltic, & particularly those destined to the ports of Russia, be provided with the usual documents declaratory of the state of the health of the district of the United States from which they clear, and in the event of their touching at other places, previous to their entering the Baltic, that they procure there from the like attestations, or otherwise very injurious detentions may result.
For the information of the merchants of the United States. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, Sir, Your most obedient servant, LEVETT HARRIS. MUHLENBERG, esqr. Col. Director of the Customs of the Port of Philadelphia.
Perhaps in no instance has the character of the democratic party been more particularly delineated, or their disinterested patriotism more clearly exhibited than in the following lines, which we extract from the Mercury. They are the productions of a zealous democrat, who is "feelingly alive" to the divisions that exist among his brethren; in endeavoring to trace the origin of those divisions, he thus strips sham patriotism of its mask: (Con. Gaz.) The spirit of competition mixes itself with our reflections, and discolours our judgment. But this cause of division was likely to operate upon the republicans as long as the federal party maintained its formidable influence. It was not till the downfall of this system, that the republican members were brought into competition and collision with each other. It was not till that moment then, that the republicans, who had already obtained the honors and emoluments of an office, or who had the greatest chance of obtaining them, became the objects of rivalry and contention. Is it then that the vain and the interested, and all those who have assumed the fairest pretensions of patriotism to promote their own ambitious purposes, step forward to claim their expected reward. Have we not braved, they will say, all the terrors of the American revolution? Have we not displayed an equal enthusiasm in our conflicts with the federal party? Have we not adhered to your administration in spite of relentless opposition and repeated menace? And are we not now entitled to some of the fruits of the victory?"azzled by this splendid picture of their exploits, these men are prone to believe that no recompense can be too great for their services, no competition can be well entitled to the confidence of the people. Let these splendid expectations be disappointed, & their adherence to the repub-
lican interest is no longer to be trusted. Here then is one source of division. But let their efforts be successful in sowing suspicions of their rival's principles, and in overthrowing his pretensions; and they immediately create a new division among the republican party. The virtue of their rivals may not indeed be affected by this defeat, though their bosoms may still beat as high as ever with the fervor of republican principles; yet they are maimed in their exertions to promote the republican cause; the eye of suspicion has fastened upon them; and the people will no longer receive benefit from those in whom they will no longer confide.
"True there are men, who assume to themselves the title & garb of republicanism to conceal their own contracted designs. These men remain under the banners of the party so long as they have a hope of sharing in the spoils. But once let them feel the futility of these hopes, once let them see that there are others who better deserve respect, and who are more successful in its attainment; and their ambition will be confined to the discovery of some plausible pretext for deserting to the opposite party."
FROM THE PORT FOLIO. To the Right Wheel.—STEUBEN. ALTHOUGH I can't, like Sterne, turn Cappadocia, Pontus or Phrygia, into a sermon or essay, yet like Smollett, I never travel from Dan to Beersheba, and cry, "It's all barren." This military phrase of the able baron's, certainly conveys more than mechanical operation upon platoons and columns. The art of wheeling to the right, altho' so often taught on muster days, has never been rightly practised, although the world has been wheeling above four thousand years.
I recollect an anecdote of a soldier, who after climbing a commanding eminence, so sensibly felt his elevation, that he gave words of command to kingdoms, and ordered them to wheel to the right. Had he been obeyed, I verily believe that their majesties, who are now fighting, would have kept snug at home in their own courts, and made no slaughter, but at festive boards. Russia would have wheeled from the massacre of Poland; and half a score of kingdoms would have kept ignorant of their destiny, by not giving Frenchmen an opportunity to give them chace, and his Sardinian majesty never would have said to his armies, wheel this way, or that way, or any way, if you can only wheel yourselves, and my kingdom, from the grasp of Bonaparte.
Religion has been ever wheeling; and I unluckily live in a place, where may be counted many sects, that Hannah Adams never dreamt of. In one place they hold sinners under water until they are filled; with belief. In another, they find but five in sixty, that are elected to future bliss; and in another, they send sinners of all colors, conduct and persuasions, to the abodes of happiness; a shrewd genius observes, that none of them wheel to the right. The ladies, whose rotundity often renders them fine subjects for wheeling, and who have been revolving in the orbit of fashion, ever since Adam's wife stitched her apron of fig leaves, are said by wicked wits, not always to move right. The amorous bosom, which in modern days, has swollen prodigiously to view, and the rotund waist, so tempting to the clasp, are by no means signs of error; but moralists suspect, that chastity has been long wheeling to the left.
'Tother night, as a grogshop full of toppers, sat hiccuping their songs one to the other, his wife and children, and made for home; a new made corporal starts up and orders him to wheel to the right, 'gad says he, I wheel every way and some times must be right.
From the New York Evening Post. A poem has lately been published in Salem, entitled, THE POWER OF SOLITUDE, in two parts, by J. STORY; which, by the delicacy of its sentiments and melody of its verse, promises to obtain for the author a very considerable share of applause. The design of the work, says the writer, is no less to exhibit descriptions of the rural life and local scenery, than to mark the influence of solitude upon the passions and faculties of mankind. He begins with recounting the pleasures of retirement, and undertakes to shew, that the tender and sublime emotions of the soul, when reposing in the shades of solitude, are derived from that principle of association and sym-
pathy which nature has implanted in the human breast. The poem begins: O'er the dim glen when autumn's dewy ray Sheds the mild lustre of retiring day, While scarce the breeze with whispering murmur flows To hymn its dirge at evening's placid close: When awful silence holds her sullen reign, And moonlight sparkles on the dimpled main; Or through some ancient solitary tower, Disports loe shadows at the midnight hour: Whence flows the charm these hallow'd scenes impart, To warm the fancy and affect the heart? Why swells the breast, alive at ev'ry pore, With throbs unknown, with pains unfelt before? Why turns the restless glance on ev'ry side In grateful gloom, or melancholy pride? Touch'd by quick sympathy's mysterious spring, Thought's airy spites in many circles wing, On the fine nerves impels a trembling thrill, And move obedient to the wakeful will, Till memory's trains in quick succession rise, And round RETIREMENT blend harmonic dyes. Another observation of the poet is, that social scenes are incapable of affording consolation to the heart in the unfortunate incidents of life, in disappointment, sorrow, and despair—
The lovely Maid, whose native virtues flow Chaste, as the airy web of printless snow, It in sad hour, the prey of treach'rous toil, Her rifled honor fell some plunder's spoil, How vain the hope to hide from public fame Her deep contrition and ingenuous shame! Where're she turns, the circled crime prevails In smiles reproaches, and in sneers affails, And like some troubled ghost, in thin disguise, The pointed insult meets her downcast eyes, In vain may eloquence in mercy plead To spare the person, yet detect the deed, Ungenerous censure dooms to deadlier woe The wretch who suffer'd, than who dealt the blow. Poor wand'ring outcast, though with arrowy sway, Embitter'd memory haunt the fatal day, When life's bright visions with pollution fled, And virtue sickened with the tears she shed; No more return'd the scenes of festive mirth, When youth and fancy cheer'd the social hearth, Or tript with truant steps the verdant heath To watch the sun beam, as it blush'd in death; Yet shall meek Solitude, with temp'rate sway, Gild the deep shade, and light the closing day, Lull the keen pangs, thy bleeding breast that tore, And hallow transports, life can ne'er restore.

THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively practised by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a Citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe; who proposes to execute by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Shakespeare Gallery, New-York, by permission of the Proprietor: being
A PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON, Supported by LIBERTY, VIRTUE, and JUSTICE. VIRTUE is holding the emblem of the reward he merited. In the right of the piece, AMERICA, characterised as an Ab-origina, is seated in a pensive posture, lamenting her loss. In the left is PAINTING turned to HISTORY, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer, "There is none more worthy than Washington."
The whole forming a more emblematical tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the public. To those who esteem his public services and his private worth, and to the patrons of improvements in the fine arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already furnished with different engravings on this subject, will, it is hoped, still find room for the present undertaking, when they consider, that it will be a PAINTING, and the design new, executed by a process, which renders it more durable than oil paintings—that it requires no glass—that while their prints contain, perhaps a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of six beautiful allegorical figures.—The price also is reduced so as to leave, comparative merits, no object.
Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on delivery, (which is little more than the price of an engraving of the same size) are received by Conrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia; Robert Gray, Alexandria; Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol-hill City of Washington; and generally by Booksellers throughout the Union; who will please to return their Subscription papers to Conrad and Co. Philadelphia, previous to the first of November next, when the work will be ready for delivery. Frames will be procured, of any pattern, if required on the most moderate terms.
IT IS ALSO PROPOSED TO EXECUTE PORTRAITS Of Mr. and Mrs. Washington, On a smaller scale, 15 inches by 12; executed by the same process, and will be ready for delivery at the same time, on subscriptions of Four Dollars and Fifty Cents each, including a Gilt Frame. It is a principal aim of this work, to produce the most correct likenesses of this amiable couple. One of the Paintings is now to be seen at Mr. Gadsby's Hotel, for a few days, who will receive subscriptions. As this copy is ordered to be sent to Richmond soon, another will be forwarded, if subscribers offer, to Robert Gray's, King Street Alexandria, with whom subscribers may also enter their names. The Artist presumes that the secret art of Polygraphick Painting is known only to himself in the U. States; having travelled from the Carolinas to Massachusetts without finding a master of it. By this art, original paintings may be multiplied, so as to render it difficult to point out the difference. The Polygraphick picture, of the two, when compared together, is the most brilliant, and the nature of the process cannot fail rendering it more durable. In fine the whole is so exact and beautiful a copy, that the mind is lost in conjecture as to the method in which it is executed. July 3.

DRUGGIST; The following Valuable Medicines: Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomach Bitters. PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Billious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Billious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Billious Cholics, Colicky pains, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, droppies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle. Price 25 cents a box.
