PHILADELPHIA, June 27. of a letter from New York, dat- ed June 24. Arrived this morning the British sloop Plutus, Harriet, 25 days from Trinidad. Mr. Carmichael a passenger the schr. informs, that the English mail had arrived there; but that its contents were not known at the time of sailing; that there had been an Em- bargo on all British vessels bound home for several days, in consequence of an ex- pectation of war; that commodore Hood had failed on a cruise, to touch at Mar- tinique. Shortly after his sailing, a Bri- tish ship of war reached Barbadoes, with dispatches for the Commodore; but learn- ing that he failed immediately proceeded in quest of him. The universal conjec- ture was, that this sloop of war brought out some important dispatches relative to the affairs of Europe, and the general im- pression was in favour of war.

The Anniversary of American Inde- pendence being at hand, I take the op- portunity to recommend a suspension of business for that day. It was with dissatisfaction I have wit- nessed, for some few years back, mer- chants and others keeping their stores open on the day which every American should rejoice, for being a native of a free and independent country. Whether it pro- ceeds from meanness, I cannot tell; but in my eyes, it appears to originate from jealousy and a fear of your neighbour do- ing rather more business than yourself— but surely the trifling sum any person would gain by the business done on that day could be no object, when compared to the honor we would do our town by paying a respect to the spirit of '76. An Alexandrian.
HOW difficult it is for men to restrain their natural dispositions, we may every day perceive. The dictates for the heart will often be an overmatch of cunning. How completely does every writing of the democrats betray the hidden tyranny of their hearts! How plainly do they avow, that if they could help it, the federal press should be lock-jawed forever! Those in- consistent souls; bodies we should say; who fill the air with buzzes about the liberty of the press, like musquitos in a night of August, make no scruple to use every means to stop the pen by artifice, by ca- lumny, by menace, by more mean, base, unmanly, ungenerous and ungentlemanly detraction, than the most rancorous old tea-drinking midwife in Europe would stoop to make use of. From such things the man of honour, and the gentleman, re- coil as they would from the sting of a snake, the pollution of a jakes, or the in- fection of a jail distemper. That there are persons who, according to the notions of men of their own kidney pass for, and expect to be called gentlemen, and yet mix with this throng of mud larks, we have heard; but let it be recollected, that it is not a set of patriot words, or monkey ac- tions, or fiddling and fluting, or capering, or bowing like a dancing master; not horses, carriages, side tables stored with Madeira, and boards groaning under the fluttish, ill assorted plenty of fungous pride; nor fine houses, nor fine clothes— No! nor even rank or office, that can constitute the Gentleman. The gentle- man, that character than which none can pretend to one higher, is seated in the head and from early habit and disposition is im- moveable, unmixed, unchangeable and e- ternally the same. The real gentleman is as unalterable in his way, as the jacobin is in his. Some of the most mean, aban- doned and contemptible characters that ever brought disgrace upon that respecta- ble profession—the Actor—have been able to assume the character of the gentleman for five acts of a play, six nights in a week;
but they were as far from gentlemen, in the mean, as any ragged Newgate bird that ever graced a gibbet. The gentle- man must be uniform in his conduct, or all the letters of nobility of all the kings since the days of SOLOMON, would but leave him stuck in his native mire. If persons, having in general respects a claim to this character, hope under cover of su- perficial manners, and extrinsic qualities, to mask those practices which disgrace even the vilest pretenders to manhood, they ought to be laid bare to view; their pa- tents ought to be shook.
But, to return to the subject with which we set out. We say that nothing is more evident than this, that there is an univer- sal conspiracy among the democrats to crush the freedom of political discussion, and to stifle reason and argument. In every essay of theirs the Bastille and the  Boulevard are legibly written. In their understand efforts, (aye in those of some who would be thought above such things) we can trace the spirit of the Holy Brother- hood working like an old mole, or rather like an old gossip, and making inquisition for slander, purveying and prowling for food for personal scandal, in order to stop the discussion of political subjects; for out of discussion truth emanates, and to them truth is death.
The passage taken by the democratic writers from the Port Folio , and bandied about of late, has been actually called treasonable and seditious. Here we see, as with a glass, the germ of the worst ty- ranny. With men who are either so shameless as to maintain a proposition knowing it to be wrong, or so ignorant in the meaning of words as well as of laws as not to know that that charge is wrong, there is no use in arguing. But this we will say, that every citizen of a free country has a right to discuss abstract questions of politics, to avow his opinion, and to say, if he thinks it, that any one form of government under heaven is vici- ous. For our parts we will, and we with others as well as ourselves, to make the best use of the short time which the des- potism of democracy and immorality now getting to a head in this country will al- low, by speaking freely and loudly our opinions, upon that spirit of policy which bids fair to be the destruction of all that deserves to be called human in the human race.
In the despotism of France, MONTES- QUIEU freely discussed the merits and de- fects of every kind of government, and so far from being accused of treason, re- ceived unequivocal proofs of approbation from all France, and all Europe. In the same despotism, into which not an atom of democratic power had ever crept, ROUS- SEAU published that most democratic work "The Social Contract," and o- thers still worse, and never heard a word about a charge of treason or sedition. The Empress of Russia caused "Black- stone's Commentaries," in which despotism is so roughly handled, to be translated into Russian for the benefit of the people. In Denmark the most free discussions are al- lowed. And in England did not Tom Paine publish with impunity his " Rights of Man ?" Thus in France, Russia, Den- mark, and England, that discussion is au- thorised which is called treason in Ameri- ca. What! Americans, are you all blind? Do not prospective monitions visit your dreams by night, or your reveries by day? Look you through that long, fine, painted vista, which the political puppet show- men of the day have daubed upon the scene before you, do you not see the deception? Do you not perceive thro' the pores of the flimsy canvas the glimmering of the light behind? Do you not hear the buzz and the laugh at you, of the performers on the stage? Do you not hear the clanking of your future fetters? No, no such thing! Then put yourselves under the guidance of those who will take you by the hand; and they will lead you in safety through the dark meanderings and complicated machinery under the stage, till they bring you behind the scenes, where they will expose to you in their raw nakedness, the paltry slips of worm-eaten pine and rotten canvas upon which the prospect that has so long deluded you is painted, and reveal to you all the deceptions, artifices, and plans of the mechanists; all the tricks and capers of the signors, and all the soft me- retricious blandishments of the signoras, in this democratic pantomimical spectacle, by which you have so long been so long deceived.
