To GIDEON GRANGER, Esquire, Post Master General.
I shall make no apology for considering you the author of a piece signed "A Friend to Truth," which appeared in the National Intelligencer of Friday last, in defence of your fair fame, because no person but the P. M. General could have collected the various circumstances and transactions mentioned in the piece, and the stile, and sentiments appear every way worthy of the author of those letters of thanks of which you have been so very liberal to your deputies. Go on worthy sir, in the glorious work of reformation, which you have so happily begun and your name shall be enrolled among the worthies of the day, and your fair fame handed down to posterity, with distinguished lustre. Proceed, sir in your benevolent undertaking, and your name and that of your amiable friend and patron, will not be forgotten, whilst poverty and want continue to afflict mankind. You seem to review with a malicious pleasure the work of ruin and devastation, your short career has so far accomplished which is only equalled by the joy, arising from the contemplation of the opportunities which your situation still presents for the gratification of revenge and party spirit. There are yet many victims, fit sacrifices for the altars you have erected, to appease the manes of your departed reputation and happiness; there are yet many helpless families whose distresses cannot fail of administering consolation to your mind, as you acknowledge that there are many men in office of honor and character. Why do you suffer these fair monuments to remain to offend the eye of your philanthropic friend & prototype, or does he feast with too much delight on the pangs of a protracted existence, to have a more speedy dissolution.
You begin your apology by accusing the deputy post masters of being guilty of a breach of trust; you say that "before the dismissal of a single officer by him, the correspondence of one of the principal officers had been frequently violated; two appointments made by the Post Master General had been suppressed, and the papers never heard of, and the seal of the department had been twice broken at some of the offices."
To have punished these, it should have been necessary first to discover the authors. The chances were very much against your punishing the guilty persons, by the partial selections you have made. The genius of our government and the spirit of our laws, do not justify punishment upon slight suspicion.
You are equally unfortunate in attempting to blind the public by an attempt at specific charges. They are so vague and uncertain, that it is impossible for the public to justify you; for instance—you say "five (were removed) for wilful misconduct of various kinds." You are a lawyer sir you arraign these officers at the bar of the public, the people are to be the judges between you; are you so little versed in the forms of legal proceedings, so little acquainted with the laws of evidence, as to suppose that this vague and general charge against five of your fellow-citizens can be sufficient to condemn them in the public opinion. You ought to have known, that it is not a sufficient ground for a presentment much less for a condemnation.
"Two, for having aided the enemies of the country during the revolution, and maintaining to this day the same regard for British supremacy and royal government: Persons who ought to be permitted the free exercise of opinion, to have the enjoyment of their property and the just protection of the laws; but who, it is believed, ought not to be employed as officers of a government which they condemn and calumniate."
Where was the respect for your friend, the philosopher of Monticello, when you penned that sentence? Do you not blush for him, when your defence contains his condemnation? Have you already forgotten the appointment of Judge Stevens of Georgia, and the more noted one of Tench Coxe? Why could you not spare the feelings of your friend Mr. Milledge? The gallant manner in which he offered to volunteer in your behalf in the case of Mr. Hobby should have entitled him to some respect. In the zeal of defending your own reputation, you had forgotten your friends, and a person who is unacquainted with your zealous attachment to the chief
magistrate might be led to suppose, that you had joined with Callender and Cheetham in endeavoring to expose your old friend. I will acquit you of any such intention. It may appear somewhat surprising however, that this most amiable of men, should meet the language of reproach, from every pen, whether friend or foe—even his own writings rise up in judgment against him. If he attempts the defence of his own conduct, he but gives new ground for complaint and accusation; and the vindication of his friends conveys the most serious accusations. To those who do not know our chief magistrate, or are unacquainted with human nature, this may appear strange—But it is easily explained. His hypocrisy and profound dissimulation, have hitherto concealed his real character. His elevation to the presidency, exposes him to more general observation, obliges him to act more decisively and places him in a more responsible situation—Every action therefore tends to develop his real character. He is now no longer able to hold an official and confidential language. The people of the United States will shortly be acquainted with this paragon of all that is good and amiable. But I am wandering from the subject. The life and character of your patron is so fruitful in incidents, for useful and instructive observations, and there is such a similarity in your official conduct, that it is almost impossible to pass his name without a few remarks. I shall endeavor for the future to be more cautious.
AN ENEMY TO HYPOCRISY. (To be continued.)
FROM THE BALANCE.
Continued from the Alexandria Advertiser of the 24th inst.
THE Anti-federalists, defeated in their open and daring attempts to prostrate the American executive at the feet of an insolent young Frenchman, erected a masked battery, behind which they busied their "fury darts" and discharged their volleys against the person and measures of Washington. The jacobinical societies, those flamina of perpetual and eternal revolutions, having previous to this period been planted over France, the leaders of the anti-federalists under the auspices of Genet, erected the black flag of Jacobinism in this country, by establishing societies, affiliating and corresponding with those in France. It was the plain design of this establishment to overtop and controul the constitutional authorities, and to effect a close and intimate coalescence with the French: at the same time, it gave such a compleat system and organization to opposition, that the heads of the party were enabled to communicate their plans, with secrecy and dispatch, to their subordinates over the whole union.
The insidious designs and pernicious tendency of those societies did not escape the eagle-eye of Washington, who with his usual firmness and independence, remonstrated against them in one of his communications to Congress; but he stirred a nest of hornets, and quickly experienced the venom of their stings. It was at that period that the anti-federalists took the name of Jacobins—a name that they obtained by their adherence to the Jacobins in France, and with which, for a time, they appeared to be well pleased. They were the professed admirers of the French Jacobins; they applauded their disorganizing measures; they palliated and, by the plea of necessity, even justified their horrible assassinations and massacres, and seemed to view them as a noble band of patriots, combined together to free the world from the shackles of slavery: nor did they disown and discard the appropriate name of Jacobins, till after the Jacobinical fraternity in France, immersed in unfathomable depths of the blackest infamy, had excited general abhorrence and execration, as well among their own nation, as throughout all the rest of the globe.
The rulers of France, though aided by a powerful French party in this country, having been baffled in their attempts (first openly by Genet, and then covertly and icidiously by his successors) to controul our Government and to draw the nation into their war, threw off the mask of friendship, manifested a high tone of resentment and menaced the United States with the vengeance of the terrible republic. And, in the mean time, and partly even before this period, in virtue of laws so framed as compleatly to answer their nefarious purposes, they subjected a large portion of the vast American property on
the seas, to plunder and confiscation. It is well remembered that those depredations and piracies from the great republic did not excite the least glow of indignation in the breasts of the anti-federalists; but were even approved by them, as a righteous chastisement of the monarchical views and anti-republican measures of our own administration. At this perplexing and alarming crisis, Washington, who frequently manifested a disposition to conciliate the oppositionists, sent over citizen Monroe, one of the leaders of the adverse party, and now Governor of Virginia, an ambassador to France, with instructions to present a firm and spirited remonstrance to the French government, and to demand a repeal of the iniquitous maritime laws, which had already produced on the part of this country, extensive waste and spoliations. Did Monroe, on this occasion, assume the manly and dignified attitude of an Ambassador from a free and independent nation?—Did he stand erect and speak the language of a Roman or a Spartan? No: to the disgrace of his country, he prostrated himself before the footstool of the French executive, and had the servility and baseness to declare, in effect, that if the piratical laws in question were really for the interest of France, the Americans would bear the effects of their operation, not only with patience, but with pleasure. If an ambassador from Rome or from Sparta had thus shamefully betrayed his country, he would inevitably have suffered the punishment of death. The official conduct of this gentleman was, however, highly applauded by the anti-federalists, and his recall sharpened their indignation and drew forth their keen reproaches.
The American Ambassador that succeeded Monroe was disdainfully rejected by the French government. Afterwards an extraordinary embassy was sent, consisting of three men of distinguished characters, invested with ample powers, and bearing instructions of a most pacific and conciliatory nature. They also were neither acknowledged, nor admitted to an audience: but after waiting a long time, exposed to public scorn and derision, they at length indirectly and informally received propositions to the following effect; that the indispensable preliminaries to a negotiation would be a gratuity of fifty thousand pounds for private pocket expenses, and the purchase, at par, of a sum of depreciated paper, equal to the whole amount of American property, which had been plundered by the French cruisers. In the mean time, our envoys were reminded of the diplomatic skill of France, of the strength of her party in this country, and of the fate of the little republic of Venice, which the French had seized, and afterward bartered it away. Gallic insults did not stop here. The Directory of France selected and detained one of the Envoys, and, with a haughty contempt, ordered the other two away: a measure that, too plainly to be misunderstood, spoke to our government in the following language;—"We permit you to nominate Ambassadors, and out of your nomination we will select the particular men who shall be invested with ambassadorial authority." We are now to review the different manners in which those intolerable insults were received and responded by the two political parties in this country.

The Printer at Cincinnati, has forwarded to the editor of this paper "A List of Non-Resident's Lands, entered by the Auditor in the Military District, between the Miami and Scioto Rivers, for territorial taxation for the year 1802, territory of the United States, North-West of the Ohio."
Any person interested may examine it by calling at the office.
OFFICIAL.
Under the instructions of the Secretary of the Navy, Commodore Morris will employ constantly one frigate in convoying our outward bound Merchantmen from Cadiz through the Straights and another in convoying our homeward bound merchantmen from Malaga; and every convoy, when in the Gut will have an additional protection. The distribution of the other frigates will from time to time be such, as in the judgment of the commodore, will afford the best protection to our commerce, and as will most effectually repress the predatory disposition of its enemies.

Extract of a letter from Bordeaux received at Charleston, dated June 20.
"The bad season has had great effect on the price of the brandies. The prospect of the grapes was great, in consequence of which brandies were beginning to fall, when severe frosts destroyed all the hopes of the farmers. Brandy has therefore risen, and stand this day at 550 francs for fifty velts. I am certain they will not be lower for four months to come. The whole of Orleans, Touraine, La Bourgogne, and all the north of France, have lost their hopes of a crop of wine; all those countries have been visited by severe frosts."
"The whole of our weights have been changed by order of the government: our quintal now is equal to 112 lbs. English. We can make no use now of our former weights."
Rice in Bordeaux was from 30 to 35 livres, not much in demand. Cottons were also dull, and were selling at a loss.
ON SELF GOVERNMENT.
He that is master of himself is king. Tho' his body should be in prison or in chains his mind is free, and he exercises within himself, a most noble sovereignty. On the other hand, the monarch, who glitters on his throne, and has power of life and death over a million of men, is himself a slave, if he submits his reason to the controul of passion and appetite.
Alexander, by common consent, has obtained the name of Great, because, forsooth, his sword had shed more blood than that of any other man. He was the Great Butcher, not of herds and flocks, but of men. In reality, however, as to a most important point, he was Alexander the little. After all his conquests, he was a slave. He was a miserable victim to drunkenness and to violent anger; and in the rage of passion, inflamed by wine, he flew Citus, his best friend and ablest general, with his own hand. The old philosopher was much more deserving of the title of Great, who, when his servant had acted in a provoking manner toward him, said to the offender, "I would correct you, if I were not angry." No man is truly great who does not govern himself; nor is any man really little, who uniformly and steadily maintains self-government.
Would you obtain the honor of a conqueror? The field is open. Conquer your own unruly passions and appetites, and lay those rebels prostrate at the feet of reason. It is a most noble conquest. Would you be a ruler? Govern yourself. Be the commandant of your own garrison. This kind of authority (and it is in the power of every one to exercise it) is equally necessary, useful and honorable. Hence the wise man remarked, "He that ruleth his own spirit is better than the mighty."

FREDERICKSBURG.
Mr. Green post master at this place, than whom few more worthy men exist, has been dismissed from office, by that true republican and immaculate patriot Gideon Granger of Connecticut. Mr. Green had apprehended, that his having been a federalist, and opposed to the present party in power, would be a sufficient cause for his removal; but some months had elapsed, and he hoped that persecution would not assail the mansions of virtue and innocence, and began to believe that his numerous & respectable family, would receive undisturbed, the small perquisites arising from the office he held.
Deluded man! to place confidence in an executive whose acts are stamped with deception and intrigue, with public and private distress—Whose steps are marked with revenge, oppression, persecution and folly.

Believing that the public interest will be promoted by the appointment of a new post master at Frederickburg, I have accordingly appointed John Benfon, Esq. to be post master at that place, to whom on the receipt of this, be pleased to deliver the Post Office property in your possession, taking his receipt therefor if you desire it. You will close your accounts with this office, so soon as convenient.—Accept sir, my thanks for all the faithful services you have performed.
With esteem
GIDEON GRANGER."
N. B. Your successor does not come into office until the 15th of May next which time is allowed for the arrangement of the business of your office.
Timothy Green. Esq.
I must now beg leave to address a few words to Gideon Granger, on the subject of the above letter.
Was I a Junius, had I his faculties, was I like him capable of attacking corruption at its source, I would say, that, than your letter to Mr Timothy Green, there never was a greater instance of absurdity, of assertion predicated upon false ground, that disgraced the flagrant pen of insolence or the haggard recesses of tyrannical mandate. Never sir, was there a more wanton sacrifice of merit; and never was a position more untenable than yours. Never was any thing more barefaced and shameful than this removal; and never a greater inconsistency than thanking a man for his faithful services, while the public good required the removal of that man from the office, in which those services were performed. I shall hazard the assertion sir, in defiance of your high authority, that man, in or near this place, is more fit for the office of post master, than Mr. Green—this fact sir, has been stated to you in private letters, from Democratic gentlemen of high reputation, residing in this
vicinity—And going further sir, I will hazard one more assertion, that in this removal (unless Mr. Green has been guilty of fraud, & in which case you were bound in duty, to make that fraud public) you have violated the feeling, of every independent citizen and of humanity, you have carried distress into a worthy family, you have committed an outrage on common decency, you have passed an insult on the general will of this community, that shall not be pardoned. It will prove a link in that chain of enormities, which must shortly rouse the American mind from its slumbers, which shall awaken indignation in every honest breast, which shall induce the true philosopher to arm himself in defence of injured virtue, and the christian to pray for the reformation of a vile administration.
Who told you this pretty story sir, that the public interest would be promoted by this removal? for surely you knew it not of yourself—What sycophant dared to deny the positive position of at least nine tenths of the inhabitants of this place? not three months have elapsed, since almost every person in this town, signed a memorial addressed to you, in favor of Mr. Green, which was handed you, and which (unless it be contrary to your principles, to have an honest document there) is now laying on the tables of your office.
This memorial sir was signed by as many democrats as Federalists. They knew the worth of Mr. Green—they knew the growing excellence of his sweet family—they knew his fitness to fill this office—they knew that the public interest would not be benefitted by this removal—They felt for a good man, however in a few shades, they might differ from him in politics—and in the honesty of their hearts, they disdained to become accomplices in the villainy of his removal. But the laudable exertions have no effect. Twelve months since for the sovereignty of the people, was the only thing heard from the mouth of a jacobin—No sooner however is the power placed in their hands than the people, their petitions and their sovereignty are scouted from notice.
Go on, sir in the sunshine of your omnipotence, for believe me, it will not last you long—Orbs of superior light, will gradually open on the day, and as the jack a lantern vanishes before the firmness of a well informed mind, so will you sink into retirement when virtue once more becomes a recommendation for office.
WARREN.
A number of the principal Sachems, chiefs and Warriors of the Seneca Nation of Indians, form Buffalo Creek, visited Albany last week; and we are informed have concluded a treaty with this state, by which they cede their title to all the lands referred along the Niagara river from Buffalo's Creek to Stedman's farm, including Black Rock. This is doubtless a great acquisition to this state, as well as to the U. S. not only on account of the value of the lands, but also it secures the carrying places at the Niagara Falls, & the most advantageous situation for establishing a military post to guard that important pass.
Another object of these Chiefs in visiting our seat of government, we are informed, was to intercede for one of their friends, an Indian, who is it alledged has unfortunately killed a white man, & which has produced some agitation in that quarter—These Indians state, that five instances have happened since the peace where Indians of their nation have been inhumanly murdered by the white people, and that in no instance have the perpetrators been punished for these crimes, and that this is the first instance on their part.—This fact is undoubtedly true. They say they have been assiduous in cautioning their young warriors to guard against evils of this kind, and they should therefore think it cruel if their brother should suffer death for this act, especially as it is said to have been done unintentionally, under the influence of intoxication and passion. They wished if possible that he might be admitted to bail until trial, stating that imprisonment to an Indian is worse than death. They considered this as a reasonable request, and which they have been induced to believe might be granted consistent with our laws. This however could not be done. They have certainly acted with great candour and magnanimity in delivering up the accused, who is a near relation of one of the principal chiefs, and belongs to one of the first families in the nation.
Although these Chiefs could not obtain the full object of their wishes in the pre-
sent instance, we are told they have returned to their nation perfectly satisfied with the treatment which they have received from our Executive, and with the assurance he gave them that their unfortunate brother would be treated with every degree of lenity and humanity which the mildness of our laws admit.

Extract of a letter from Kingston, (Jam.) dated the 29th ult.
"I have just time to inform you of the loss of the brig Friends, who went on shore on the breakers, on the reef of Plumb Point, near to Port Royal entrance, on Tuesday morning the 20th inst. before day light. This shocking circumstance I can account for in no other way than there being a violent lee current along shore; the vessel was hove too waiting for a pilot. Very small part of the cargo will be saved; and no part of the vessel, except the sails and part of the running rigging."
The Friends sailed from N. York the 19th of June, bound to Kingston.
S O N G.
Tell me, where's the violet fled, Late so gaily blowing, Springing 'neath fair Flora's tread, Choicest sweets bestowing? Swain, the vernal scene is o'er, And the vi'let blooms no more!
Say, where hides the blushing rose, Pride of fragrant morning, Garland meet for beauty's brows; Hill and dale adorning? Gentle maid, the summer's fled, And the hopeless rose is dead!
Bear me then to yonder rill, Late so freely flowing, Watering many a daffodil On its margin glowing, Sun and wind exhausts its store; Yonder rivulet gilds no more!
Lead me to the bow'ry shade Late with roses flaunting; Lov'd resort of youth and maid, Am'rous ditty chanting. Hail and storm with fury shower; Leafless mourns the rifled bow'r!
Say, where hides the village maid, Late you c't adorning, Oft I've met her in the glade, Fair and fresh as morning? Swain, how short is beauty's bloom! Seek her in her grassy tomb!
Whither roves the tuneful swain, Who, of rural pleasures, Rose and vi'let, rill, and plain, Sung in softest measures? Maiden, (swift life's vision flies, Death has clos'd the poet's eyes!

Just come from the Press 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 genii, 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 of 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 PERSONÆ.  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.
Formerly friend and intimate companion of Britannia, genius of Britain; but having been disgusted at something a little tending toward tyranny, in the conduct of her friend Britannia, she (Eluth.) flies from Britain, and alighting on the top of the Alleghany mountain, throws herself, for protection, into the arms of Americana. Need the reader be told that Americana immediately granted an asylum to this charming Goddess?—that she did that she does, and that she will for ever protect her from all her foes?
THIRTEEN INFLUENCING GENII, Residing in the Air, and presiding over the thirteen United States,
ETHURIUS, Commander in chief of Americana and Galliana's united aerial legions.
TULMENIFER, 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.
JELEMNO, 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. (Respublica Regina)
TYPHON, Genius of tyranny, & FAS.  TIDO, 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.
HYBELA, 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,  JAMES TOBINE.
