LETTER I.
For forms of government let fools contest, — Whatever's best administered, is best."
IT is idle to contend about the form or name of a government, while the administration of it is neglected. In disputes of this nature, the practical part, the only part worthy of attention, and that alone which can be of any benefit to society is generally overlooked. Experience is the only test by which the utility of political plans can be proved, and use the only means by which the stability of political fabrics ascertained.
A government which appears perfect in theory, may be found when endeavored to be brought into practice, and accommodated to the actual state of mankind, not only very deficient in comprehensiveness and inapplicable in practice; but often at open variance with the objects it was intended to promote. A system in itself good, may also, by being administered by artful and ambitious characters, be rendered extremely prejudicial to the true interests of society. So much depends upon the administration of a government, that even systems, which appear very imperfect in construction and unjust in their principles, when administered by men of honesty, talents, and humanity, have been rendered not only easy and unburthensome but productive of great benefit to society; while the best systems administered by characters of a contrary description, moved by avaricious and sordid views, or instigated by ambitious desires, have given sanction to the most abominable cruelties; and been coverings under which the most iniquitous attacks have been made against the liberties and rights of the people; and whole nations thrown into confusion, exposed to anarchy, or reduced to slavery. History will furnish numberless examples of what I have advanced, and the experience of the present age will add sufficient comments.
Whenever the power of a government is prostituted to serve the purposes of parties or to promote personal aggrandizement, that government is disorganized; its principles corrupt, and its administration tyrannical. The people can no longer be pronounced free, when their own laws are turned against themselves, to deprive them of the use of their understandings, and to promote the selfish views of those who have got the possession of power. It is idle to talk about the goodness of laws, when they can give no protection. Laws like reason can be made to sit on either side, and bend to the purposes of the strongest power; and tho' a government shall enact laws ever so good in themselves—favorable to liberty and the security of person and property; yet if it cannot ensure their just application, impartial and prompt execution, the people will be as much exposed, and be as easily oppressed, as under laws the most despotic and tyrannical.
If the offices of justice are not independent of the reigning powers, especially in elective governments, where power is continually changing hands, and the judges free from this influence in the discharge of their duty, if they are dependent on aught but their good behaviour for their continuance in office, or are amenable for misbehaviour to any other jurisdiction than the great council of the nation; then there is no longer any security for justice, and it is absurd to talk about the privileges of the people when their liberty, nay, their lives are not in safety. When party spirit is the guide of men's actions, and when evil men get into power, the worst passions of the human heart are apt to take the lead, and their fury must be gratified. A court of justice which is under the controul of such directors, will be turned into an inquisition of vengeance, and judges whom they can remove at pleasure will be ready instruments to execute their iniquitous designs against their opponents, and assist them in committing legal murder (if I may be allowed the expression) on their adversaries.
The tyranny of a body of usurpers is not fictitious, neither is the depravity of a dependent judiciary a mere creature of the imagination, examples of both may be found in the history of all civilized nations; that of England will furnish abundant proofs for conviction, as the present age of France teaches by experience, the truth of these observations.
Such examples shew the facility with which inroads may be made into the constitution of a government, and the feeble-
ness of the barrier of a judiciary which is subject to the controul of the power of that government "when bad men bear sway," and the offices of justice is laid open to mean talents and unprincipled characters. How necessary is it then, for the freedom, prosperity and happiness of a people, that they should choose for their rulers men of abilities, well acquainted with the affairs of government, and possessed of a perfect knowledge of the constitution of their country, of sound morality and religious principles, endowed with strength of mind, and resolution to go through the duties of their offices with energy and fidelity, to stand firm to the laws of their country, unapproachable by the filthy hand of corruption, and proof against the alluring smiles of ambition? With such rulers, a nation will be prosperous, happy and great—with characters of a contrary description, the people will be exposed to wretchedness, tyranny and oppression; and holding their rights by the most precarious tenure, and one so easy to be violated, they must inevitably become slaves.
CATO.
FROM THE PALLADIUM.
For a people to look back and consider is the only way to profit by experience. Let us look back to the fine promises that were made two years ago, if we would only let Mr. Jefferson be President.
Washington, Adams and their "sect," the democrats insisted were monarchists, and no men were truly friendly to the constitution, or fit to be entrusted with it, but Mr. Jefferson and his party. The promesse was made and repeated a thousand times that the constitution should be treated by Mr. Jefferson with more reverence and caution, guarded with more vigilance, and fortified with stronger new defences, than could ever be expected from the federal administrations. Compare experience with prophecy.
Mr. Jefferson has turned out officers and filled their places in the recess of the senate, thereby doing alone , and by a fetch, what the constitution has invested the senate with the advisory power to assist in doing, or to hinder being done.
He has recommended the repeal of the judiciary law, and signed the act for its repeal, against the plain letter as well as spirit of the constitution. Read Mr. Bayard's, Mr. Rutledge's and other federal speeches, and let democratic obstinacy remain obstinate as it must be— blind it can no longer be. In eighteen months the Constitution has suffered more blows and more wounds than in all the other twelve years of its existence.
Mr. Jefferson's administration was, we were told, to secure peace and harmony at home. Yet, in fact never did political discord run higher. Never were the Jacobins more rancorous, they are so fierce they cannot even refrain from backbiting one another. Never before did so large and so enlightened a portion of our citizens censure the government. There is no despot in Europe , the present king of France excepted, and perhaps it is not necessary to except him, who would with so much levity and presumption as Mr. Jefferson has done, affront the sense and morals, and alarm the serious apprehensions of the wise and honest, and wealthy of his subjects. Instead of the promised harmony being restored to social intercourse, there is at present probably no government existing where so few persons heartily concur in support of the ruling administration. As Mr. Burke says, it is an administration formed in contempt of the people's election, because deducting the black votes, it holds by force of the suffrages of the minority. The people of New-England, who gave not one of these votes, have neither lot nor portion in it. Nevertheless, they will, and they ought to obey it. But they will, and they ought, at the next election to change it, if they can, for a better: and, in the mean time, it is proper to note the astonishing deceit of the fine promises that were made when it was in progress and courting popular favor. By remembering those promises, yet fresh, and marking the facts yet fresher, which shew them to be false, the people will be less liable than heretofore to be deceived by the same acts and the same set of deceivers.
At home they will see our government frittered away. Its revenue, that nobody felt the burthen of paying, trucked off for popularity. A dram of W. India pays tax; a dram of whiskey is free. The backwoodsmen will, no doubt, like the plan of drawing tribute from the middle and
northern states, and expending it in forts and garrisons, and pleasant rides on horseback, after any things, but Indians, once or twice a year for their militia—all which they have heretofore charged at a dollar a day, and taken their coûts from the United States treasury. The lords of Virginia loll in their gilt coaches tax free while an old widow's bohea and brown sugar in New-England pay tax. This is equality . Surely the new men will not dissolve the union: They want us , to pay taxes.
Our government, since the new order of things, has less force than ever from the sword. By disbanding the meagre regiments on the frontier, it has discouraged young men of good hopes from taking commissions in a service that cannot be expected to last a year. The reassembling of an army, if made necessary by the threats or preparations of a foreign nation, would be more difficult than ever. Our navy has scarcely the remains of life and energy. Our treasury is made lean by the repeal of taxes that the Virginians and the western and southern States had but just begun to pay. Yet the Chronicle , in its wisdom, states how little they pay and how much we pay, to reconcile us to the repeal. Our exigencies are to be met by ruinous sales of the Bank Stock, by expensive new Dutch loans to pay off the accruing installments. Our government seems to get on like an unthrifty farmer, who sells a piece of land to pay his taxes or hired men; or like a tenant who burns the boards and timber of your barn, and then boasts how little it costs him for fire wood. Instead of a regularly accruing income from Bank Shares, and internal taxes, already our reformers resort to shifts and temporary expedients. They seem not to look quite two years forward. For if the most manifest deficiency in the funds should appear, they dare not lay new taxes. Their popularity will not bear such a shock, and what is the general interest of America compared with a great man's popularity?
Look from the scenes of discord, corruption and disgrace at home, and see how well our affairs stand abroad. If Great Britain be friendly no thanks to this man's administration. Surely his little policy of buying only French buttons for his servants' liveries has not won the confidence and good will of that nation. Surely the ignorant rash resolutions of Mr. MADISON, framed and intended to make war on the British trade and manufactures, while France was then at an open war with her fleets and armies, was not the measure that saved us from a ruinous contest with England, and a still more ruinous dependence on the terrible friendship of France. No—it is owing to the federal policy that we are now and have remained at peace with England.
Even with France, for whom our jacobins now in power were so eager to devote the United States to poverty, if not to destruction, even with France we are on bad terms. Fame lays our minister at Paris is treated very much as the French Cabinet has been in the habit of treating our Ministers. Our ships and sailors are seized in the West-Indies, and we daily expect a hostile colony in Louisiana. Spain too confiscates our property in her colonial ports. Allowing that no man more laments these disasters than Mr. JEFFERSON (an allowance that is made, however, only for argument's sake,) nevertheless we see by the event the fallacy of the hope that were two years ago boasted of being realized if Mr. JEFFERSON was President. Our affairs cannot well be concieved to stand worse in relation to France and Spain. BONAPARTE views our jacobins, as he does those of Paris, with contempt; He would as soon trust CORDORCET as CORDORCET's friend Mr. JEFFERSON.
Thus at home and abroad the citizens survey the scene with disappointment and disgust. Bad as all this certainly is, it is only the beginning of our evil days. The promised new defences of the Constitution inspires the people with a still livelier terror. Mr. EPPES, son in-law to the President, announces the revolutionary assault that is to be made on the last fortress of our security. The senate is to be new modelled, and all the power of government so distributed, that in Virginia the United States are to live, and move, and have their being. Delaware and Jersey will be as free as two men in the flocks: As free as the Italian and Helvetic Republics in alliance with France.

The ship Andromache , Pearce, came up yesterday in 44 days from Greenock. She brings the latest European Intelligence that has hitherto been received, but scarcely an article of any political consequence. Our Greenock papers are to the 13th July, inclusive; they are principally occupied with the business of the general election of members to serve in the Imperial Parliament of the United Kingdom, and with local occurrences of every little interest.

The London Gazette contains the appointment of Francis Drake, Esq. as his Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary at the court of the Elector Palatine.
The election for members of Parliament has commenced in various parts of England and Scotland. Mr. Fox, from all appearances will be returned member for Westminster. Mr. Windham has lost his election at Norwich. Generals Gascogne and Tarlton are chosen for Liverpool; and the Right Hon. Henry Dundas for Edinburgh.
Paris papers of the 3d July assert, that a convention was signed on the 4th of June, at Paris between the French minister for foreign affairs, and the ministers of the principal courts of Europe, interested in the affairs of the indemnities.

GREENOCK, July 6.
The following is an extract of a letter from a merchant in Glasgow, to his friends in Edinburgh: "Never were our manufactures so flourishing as since the preliminaries were signed. Upwards of fifteen thousand people have come to settle here since the beginning of October, the building was never so brisk; yet not an empty house in town, and many families cooped up in a single room. Our new demands are chiefly from Spain, Italy, &c. The American trade no person chooses to touch now; having scarce any other market left us before, it has been quite overlooked. Above three millions worth of English goods were in the city of New-York alone when accounts of the peace arrived there, and they have been selling 50 per cent. below prime cost, which has occasioned a great number of Bankruptcies."
London, July 12.
In proportion as the date of the 14th of July draws near, the Paris papers seem

anxious to announce not only the numbers that have voted for giving the Consulship for life to Bonaparte, but those that have added to their votes, the wish to vest him with the power of naming his successor. In the Seine and Oise 7880 persons, and in the district of Chalon in the Saone and Loire, 8602, out of 12,886 made that addition to their votes. We have but little doubt that this power will be vested in Bonaparte, and at no distant period.
Grain is diminishing in price in several of the departments of France. At Paris, however, it is extremely dear.
The Emperor of Russia, and the King and Queen of Prussia left Memel on the 16th June. Nothing has transpired upon the subject of the conferences between the two Monarchs.
General Andreossi is gone to the country near Paris; of course, he cannot be expected here for some weeks. His arrival will be entirely regulated by the progress in the commercial regulations now making.
Among other reports in Paris it is said, an infernal machine has been discovered under a little bridge, over which the Chief consul passes, in his way to Malmaison.
More troops have been embarked at Brest for Martinique. Admiral Villaret (as our private correspondence informs us some days ago) has been appointed captain-general of the Island, and will sail immediately with two sail of the line, some frigates and transports.
PARIS, July 7.
The earthquake, which was more or less felt in different parts of Europe on the 12th of last May, almost destroyed the city of Grema, in upper Italy; Senfino also suffered very much at the same time, and has not as yet recovered from the dreadful effects of the calamity. The town of Manguin was entirely swallowed up, and an immense lake instantaneously appeared on the site on which it stood. Three churches and twelve houses are demolished at Breseia; the convulsion, in fine, was severely felt in many parts of Switzerland, and even in Darmstadt, near the Nidda.
Ali, the Pacha of Janina, the new Governor of Romelia, (says a letter from Semlin of the 19th ult.) transmitted a manifesto to Pashwan Oglou, the substance of which is, that although he had already defeated and humbled three powerful Pashas, he advised him to conduct himself very peaceably towards him, and not to come too near to Romelia; and he added that, if he attempted it, he would experience a reception which he might neither like nor expect.
Pashwan answered the manifesto in these words: "I learn with pleasure that thou hast attained so dignified a situation; I congratulate thee on the occasion, and ask thee for thy friendship; in the mean time I remain Pashwan Oglou, and if thou shouldst chance to march against me, or to violate my territory, I can assure thee that I shall not only defend it, but teach thee on thy own ground who I am and what I can do."
Corn is fallen considerably in price in most markets of the department of l'Oise, Seine and Oise, Seine Inferieure, &c.—At Neuchatel, a sack of wheat weighing 150 Killigrams (330 pounds) was sold for 50 franks.
The epidemic fever, which has long raged at, and in the environs of Brussels, continues with unabated violence; some of the first members of the faculty are of opinion that it is attended with pestilential symptoms, and that it cannot be classed among the diseases hitherto known. Many hundreds have already been carried off by this dreadful calamity.
NORFOLK, August 31.
It was reported on the 30th ult. at St. John's (Antigua) "that a transport, homeward bound, with the Buffs on board, consisting of about 600 men, had foundered on the Anagado Rocks near Tortola, and that not more than 100 had been saved."
We learn by captain Bayton from St. Thomas's, that the French Islands to be given up, will not be taken possession of previous to the first October. The cause of this delay is owing to there not being a sufficiency of troops sent out to take complete charge of them.
Yesterday came up to town the pilot-boat Nancy, belonging to Captain Wood, of Hampton, who brought up the crew of
the schooner Jupiter, capt. ... which had funk on the Middle Ground on Sunday. The circumstances, as related to us, are as follows: On Sunday morning (being then five days out from Savannah bound to New-York) they discovered the vessel had sprung a leak; every exertion was made not only to stop it, but to clear her by pumping; they stood for the Capes of Virginia, and at two o'clock in the afternoon the went down head foremost on the tail of the Middle Ground. The pilot boat seeing the Jupiter in distress, stood for her and was fortunate enough to take off all the crew but the captain, who as she went down leaped over her stern and swam for the pilot boat; but before they could render him any assistance, owing to the eddy made by her sinking, he was unfortunately drowned. A few of the people's cloaths were saved.
Arrived, sch'r Eliza, capt. Cox, St. Thomas; sch'r Rising Sun, Bayton, do. sch'r Success, Knight, failed in company for this port.

BARBARY POWERS.
Dispatches, we understand, have been received by government from Mr. SIMPSON, our Consul to Morocco, dated July 16th at Gibraltar, which place, as falsely rumoured, he had not left. The reports respecting Captain M'Niel's engagement with the Tunisians does not appear to have been confirmed by subsequent information, which in case of such action, ought to have been received by Mr. Simpson.
The Enterprise, Capt. Sterret, had arrived at Gibraltar on the 2d of July from the squadron cruising off Tripoli. The letters of Captain Sterret are also silent as to M'Niel's engagement, or his own, as reported; which with respect to the latter, amounts to disproof.
The warlike operations of Morocco, from the latest authentic accounts, were not very active. The new frigates, lately built, the one of 36, and the other of 22 guns, were equipping slowly at Salee on the Atlantic—the ol' frigate lay at La Rath in the sand—two gallies were fitting out at Tirtuan with considerable spirit.

It is a foul aspersion on federalism, that it ever associates with crime. The great founder of the federal fabric was Washington.—He it was who chiefly filled the various departments with the wisest and best characters he could select, at a time when the question truly was, "Is he capable, is he honest?" The appointments by him thus made, have in many, in most instances been vacated by the present executive chief of the United States—and for what purpose? To put in characters more honest or more capable? No, this he would have found impossible—but to remunerate his own "set," his party friends, for the good offices they had rendered him personally, in raising him to a clear 25,000 dollars per annum. This circumstance above all others, marks the narrowness of Mr. Jefferson's mind, and proves him to be a most unfit character to conduct the affairs of a great nation—as wholly unquali-
fied to conciliate the general affection so as to promote the general interest.
(N. Y. Com. Adv.)
Where is the President of the United States?
Ans.—At Monticello, moralizing on the instability of fortune, deploring his declining popularity, and revenging himself on his fellow citizens, by persecuting the good and patronizing the wicked, who flee to him for protection.
Where is the secretary of State?
Ans. On his farm lost in reverie and contemplation, trembling for the past, and anxiously expecting the future.
Where is Monsieur Gallatin, purse holder?
At New-York selling bank stock—If you are asked what he is doing with the money, shrug up your shoulders and look wise.
Where is the Secretary of the navy?
Ans. Attending to his family in Baltimore, where should he be?
Where is the man of law?
Ans. Studying law cases, writing political anathemas, venting his spleen in the Agis, and electioneering—And all this for the sake of 3600 dollars per annum, paid quarterly.
Where is the Post Master General?
Ans. Gone to see his family on public business—nearly franked. Endeavoring to undermine the morals, and shake the steady habits of Connecticut, and looking out for new objects of prey.
Where is the God of War?
At his post, with the whole weight of government upon his shoulders—Ye Gods and Goddesses what a sight is there.
"And still they gazed and still the wonder grew, That one small head should carry all he knew."
As the American Mars has just returned from an airing in the country, and has had the benefit of two very pleasant jaunts this summer to Harper's Ferry and Norfolk on public business to see the country, it is conjectured he will be able to hold out for several weeks or until he is regularly re-

THE FACTION SPLITTING.
"O Lord make them like a wheel!"
David.
IN his infamous inaugural speech, Mr. Jefferson talked much about "restoring harmony to social intercourse;" In his next speech; or what will be more in the stile of Buonaparte—his next message, he will find ample employment in recommending "harmony" amongst his own Sect; who since they find that there are not so many offices as candidates; are everywhere quarrelling, and telling truths to each other. they are called all birds that bewry their own nests. On this principle they are foul birds indeed. Let us attend for a moment to their abuse of one another. Callender swears there are not three greater "Liars," or three more contemptible "Scoundrels on earth, than Duane, Cheetham, and Jones;"—and Duane, Cheetham, and Jones (who are brother editors to Callender) in their turn swear that Callender is a "Drunken Beast;" and notwithstanding he has been a confident and correspondent of Mr. Jefferson, and fingered some substantial tokens of this friendship; yet that the "set" never could repose confidence in him, and always considered him as a disgrace to their party! Risum teneatis! Wood (another imported patriot) too affirms, that all the black lies, in his history of Mr. Adams's Administration, were furnished by Duane, and Duane very wittily retorts, by calling Wood a fool, a parasite, and one who put himself up for sale, by crying—"Who'll buy Wood—ho—Who'll buy Wood." The Clinton tribe are voiding all their filth to bespatter the Vice President—whom they denominate a chanting hypocrite, a faithless partizan, and an ambitious, selfish demagogue. The Burrtes in their turn, prove the Clintonians to be intriguers, hypocrites, and aiming only at personal aggrandizement. Bishop, of New-Haven Custom House, ridicules and exposes Cheetham, and the other manufacturers of the Clintonian publications; threatens them with another 20 cent pamphlet; and declares the truth is not in them. The Clintonians in their turn, tell truths of Bishop—of his pilgrimage to Lancaster, in Pennsylvania, during the contest in the Legislature on the subject of the Electors; and that after the election he was heard to say, "that Mr. Jefferson was a weak pusillanimous man; and he was sorry Mr. Burr was not elected President." For once Bishop happened to be in the right, Cheetham too, calls Mr. Van Ness, a go-
between; Charges Dr. Eustis with being a trimmer, and several others of the late triumphant majority in Congress, as time servers, and partizans of Mr. Burr. These gentlemen have as yet retorted upon Cheetham, Mr. Senator Clinton publickly declares one of Mr. Jefferson's marshals to be "a liar and a Scoundrel;" and risks his life sooner than retract the assertion. On the other hand, Colonel Swartwout affirms, that De Witt Clinton, the would be Vice President of the United States, is influenced in his political conduct by unworthy motives. The above are facts, which the most hardened democrat dare not deny. We could continue for an hour to enumerate instances of the truths which the democratic sect are daily telling of each other. The above may suffice for the present. Let them twist on and expose each other naked to the public eye. Good will come out of evil; and the people keep on praying, "O Lord, make them like a Wheel" until they whose right it is shall rule.

Of Mr. Wm. Pechin, Baltimore, and now ready for sale, at R. & J. Gray's Book-Store, and this office—
A NEW DRAMATIC WORK, Of that species of composition usually denominated, ALLEGORICAL MASQUE.
Written in blank verse, and observing throughout, that sort of doctrine which is contained in the Arabian Nights Entertainment, or in Spenser's Fairy Queen, viz. the idea of genius, and aerial spirits of inferior order.
This dramatic, allegorical, and political masque will evidently prove, on perusal, to be, as it were a thin, transparent veil or allegory, thro' which the reader will very easily view the most important events in the rise, progress and termination of the late war between Britain and the United States of America.
It is printed on fine paper, with an excellent type, and consisting of five very long acts: in all, containing about 130 large octavo pages.
DRAMATIS PERSONAE.
AMERICANA, Genius of America, A great and powerful spirit, residing "since young creation's birth," on the utmost summit of the Alleghany mountain.
GALLIANA, Genius of France, A mighty spirit presiding over the Gallic nation
ELUTHERIA, Goddess of Liberty. FULMENFER, A long-tried and faithful servant of Americana, who, after having been in France to solicit the assistance of Galliana, accompanies both her & Eluthera, in their aerial flight from Europe to America.
JELEMMO, Chief of the virtuous spirits who attend upon Americana, and reside in her pavilion.
ARIANTHUS, Another spirit of the same character; residing likewise in the pavilion of his queen. (Reipublica Regina)
TYPHON, Genius of Tyranny, & FAS-TADO, Genius of Pride, Pretended friends to Britannia, and to Virtue, but secretly her greatest foes. Powerful magicians—open and professed enemies to Americana and her divine friend Eluthera.
VESPERIA, Chief of the female spirits who attend on the person of Americana.
HYBLA, Chief of the mountain nymphs,
TINTORETTA, Chief of the Hemmadyads, or wood nymphs.
OFFA, Chief of the Gnomes, or mischievous spirits. MUSIDORUS,
The only Mortal who appears in the piece, an ancient hermit, long residing in the most unfrequented part of the Alleghany mountain, who, having been decoyed by the mischievous Gnome, Offa, up to the summit of the mountain, to that sacred spot inhabited by the Genius of America; she, in regard to the good mortal's many virtues, commands her servants to perform the Allegorical Masque, "more for his information than amusement," as the old man was totally ignorant of the wonderful revolution which happened in his native land, during his long seclusion from the world.
THIS WORK IS ENTITLED.
AMERICANA; OR
A NEW TALE of the GENII, And is most respectfully inscribed to Thomas Jefferson; who, had he never been President of the United States, the new Tale of the Genii, although written one and twenty years ago, would never in all probability, have been published by his most obedient servant,

The method he will employ is new; and so easy, that any of his students, (even children) may in less than 3 months, be able to ask, in French, for the necessaries of life.
Any person wishing to learn the French Language will leave their names at the office of the Alexandria Advertiser, where the terms will be made known.

TRACT OF LAND,
Lying on both sides of Goose Creek, in this County, and running from thence to the said town; containing about five thousand acres, most of which has been laid off in lots, and since leased for lives or a term of years; from the peculiarly eligible situation of this land, and its great fitness for the improving state of agriculture that is taking place in this neighborhood, it is hoped that it will be an object worth the attention of those who wish to vest their money in landed property; one third of the purchase money will be required on the day of sale, the remaining two thirds to be paid by two annual installments; six per cents of the Stock of the U.
