EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1795—page 32. We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes...

Mr. FENNO,
The following congratulatory and consolatory Epistle would have been published by me on your arrival at my name sake place, but for a very good reason, that I shall in own you of presently.
And here let me tell you our printer is a most prodigious friend to the liberty of the press, and never will, upon any consideration, publish any thing that our party don't like—and this I pronounce to be the true genuine liberty of the press so pathetically spoken of by the German Republican Society, and many other great and learned bodies—for, let your wits say what they will, it is down right slavery of the press, if a printer be not at liberty to publish just what he chooses, and to reject whatever exposes the principles held by himself and his party.
But the printer has declared that my piece is inadmissible because in it private characters are calumniated by comparing them to a noted and infamous traitor,—but somehow or other it escaped his attention, that if there be any calumny in the comparison alluded to (which however, I am not much inclined to believe) it had its origin with him who adopted the signature; and my name sake's remark should have been applied to the author of Benedict Arnold , which he printed.—But to be serious, I have half a mind to be angry with our printer for this declaration of his; yet as it must have been made in jest, it shall not interrupt our friendship—tho' I confess, I do not altogether like setting on so solemn a subject. The true reason why our printer did not publish my epistle is, that in his opinion, it exhibit rather too much flattery and adulation for a good democrat in the encomiums which I pass on some of our illustrious worthies—as his modesty is highly commendable, I beg you will in-kerit in your paper.
BEN TINKER.
BEN TINKER, TO BENEDICT ARNOLD,
SENDETH GREETING:
YOUR Serene Highness's most gracious sayings, having just reached me, I haste to congratulate you most cordially on the subject of your constant and sincere attachment to the liberties of your country; and to prostrate myself, in all humility, at the sacred hoofs of the most excellent and trust-worthy Commander in Chief of the patriotic forces of the Democratic and Republican Societies—virtue is always rewarded; and thy old helpmate, and guardian Angel hath not forsaken thee, but in his journeying to and fro, he hath found thee an honourable birth among thy kindred, and over thy people.
My heart triumphs mightily in the joyful expectation that under thy glorious auspices, thou wife man of the East, even of Nova Scotia , the virtuous band of patriots who have appointed thee to be their leader, their champion, and their valiant Chief in war, will, in good time, succeed in their noble undertakings; for, indeed, dread Sir, when I consider the matchless prowess and long tried abilities, which have so eminently distinguished you above my uncle Tom, I entertain vast hopes, that things will be more prudently managed, by you, and your worthy coadjutors, than they were under his giddy administration; for, notwithstanding my dear uncle is a rare good patriot, he was rather premature in his measures, as you very shrewdly remark; but, under the happy, wise, firm, and hopeful councils of the "tria juncta," Benedict, Blair, and Henry , our ill fortune must be retrieved—and huge trees of laurels shall decorate the manly head of every faithful volunteer in the great and good cause.
Should the people of the United States, continue their most abominable attachment to a government of their own choice, and which, if persisted in, must inevitably prove their everlasting ruin; you will exert the power vested in you, to compel them to abandon their stupid, horrid policy, so shall an ignorant and perverse generation, be taught the ways of democratic subjection, whether they will or no; and the glorious "tria juncta," Benedict, Blair, and Henry , "all, all honourable men," close their virtuous career, as they began, a blessing to mankind, their country, and themselves.
And, faithful triumvirate, since you have formed yourselves in battle array, flout it out most valiantly, until every vile aristocrat, that is, every friend to good order and government be forced to bite the dust. Go up against the aristocratic city, for Benedict's guardian angel shall deliver it into your hands; and thus shall ye do with the wretched inhabitants thereof: Whosoever hath not two bold fronts, as each of you have, not being a disciple of Benedict , and
of course, not a democrat, but a knavish aristocrat, him shall ye smite, even unto death: He that did not bethink himself, in exciting the Western Insurrection; he that ridiculed your unanswerable arguments in support of the good faith; he that mocked you, or laughed you to scorn; all who have sacrilegiously doubted the purity of your intentions; who have asserted that your will ought not to be paramount to all law and gospel; that you are fond of loaves and fishes ; that you abhor excises, because you do abhor them; that you are not powerful promulgators of great political rightness; that you ever strove to increase the public debt, by honorable exertions to involve your country in a war; that you once loved the French, but now hate them, because, when you fraternized with them, they greedily swallowed the frogs, toads, and soup-meagre , dressed for them by the popular fashions, but now, most inhumanly, and like cannibals, devour the popular fashions; that you do not understand the letter and spirit of our Constitution, much better than those who framed it; that you ever prated, like children, about government, administration, ministers, and judges—and cried most vehemently and manfully, against all political distinctions, where you had not the pre-eminence; all such being rank aristocrats and liars, ye shall neither pity nor spare, but utterly destroy.
But of the peaceable inhabitants, who have said neither good nor evil of you, of those shall ye make bearers of wood and drawers of water , and they shall be your servants.
And if any doubt that you have not brought about the Millennium, and are so hardened in unbelief, as to think you are not Political Gods—such shall ye ride, as a man rideth his ass—but the ass that wantonly breaketh wind beneath his democratic rider, that ass shall ye slay, for he is an abomination in your sight.
And when ye have accomplished all these things, then shall ye cause your servants to cart you in great pomp, magnificence, and triumph, through the streets of the city, in the same manner as thou Benedict was carted before; and a Jubilee shall be held, and there shall be much dancing, and singing, and rejoicing on the occasion.
All which is submitted, with profound respect, by BEN TINKER.
From the AMERICAN DAILY ADVERTISER.
GERMANICUS, LETTER 1.
To the Citizens of the United States.
IT must at this day be the conviction of us all, that American Liberty, renown and happiness, draw much of their support from the constitution of the United States. Nor can any man, however deluded by political theories, believe that being once lost, it can ever be succeeded by a general system of national government, flowing from the will of the people. It has escaped the dangers, with which it was surrounded at its birth: it has reached manhood, only by your protecting care: it must cease to exist, when your pleasure shall so decree. Beware then lest a temper, which knows no bounds to its just sympathy with human rights, but human nature itself, should seduce you to approve institutions, baneful in their principle; but courting your favor by specious professions, while in fact they prepare by the well-concerted approaches of a few to ensnare your affections and thus become the directors of your power.—Let me intreat you to follow me in a calm discussion, which shall, in all its parts, be accompanied by my personal persuasion of its truth; and will adopt no censure, which that principle does not fairly invite.
By the Constitution of the United States it is required of the President, "from time to time to give to the Congress information of the state of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such measures, as he shall judge necessary and expedient." Unhappily, the late insurrection occupied a gloomy space in the posture of our affairs at the commencement of the present session. It had threatened the authority of government: it had degraded the American character: it had probably nourished in those nations, who stand accountable to us for the most malicious injuries, a secret hope, that, with a civil tumult in our own bosom, we should at least suspend the desire of revenge: it had carried into the field bodies of patriotic Citizens, at a season, truly interesting to agriculture, commerce, and every other employment: and had opened a new expence—the
more hateful, as it may retard the redemption of the public debt. If in his first communication to Congress, the President had with an affected conciseness, announced merely the past existence of this internal storm, and left the world to gather from conjecture or uncertain report its cause, and course, the public mind would have been alive to questions, "like these: Where is that paternal vigilance, which has hitherto penetrated the most remote relations of our common welfare? Are the springs of this commotion concealed from him whose office renders him the centre of intelligence? or must we rather conclude, that the mouth, which we have been taught to revere, as the oracle of our safety, is shut by the fear of hazarding popularity by obeying the dictates of conscience?—Are we so near the dissolution of order, that we ought not to be informed of the tottering of the Republic? Are the will or thoughtless friends of disorder too mighty to be irritated? Would some retrenchments at the heart of the Union have been betrayed by the history of the emergency?" The universal voice would have declared, that these things could not be so; and it would have resounded through the continent, that a silence, so extraordinary, could be no otherwise solved, than by an apprehension, that the development of our western troubles would shake the favorite measures of administration.
Wisely therefore was it resolved by the President, to disclose without reserve the essential circumstances of this momentous scene. Of these the two, most prominent at this time, are contained in the following extracts.
"The very forbearance to press prosecutions was misinterpreted into a fear of urging the execution of the laws; and associations of men began to denounce threats against the officers employed. From a belief, that by a more formal concert, their operation might be defeated, certain self-created societies assumed the tone of condemnation."
Again: "And when in the calm moments of reflection, they (that is, "every deserter of Citizens") shall have retraced the origin and progress of the insurrection, let them determine, whether it has not been fomented by combinations of men, who careless of consequences, and disregarding the unerring truth, that those who rouse, cannot always appease a civil commotion,—have disseminated from an ignorance or perversion of facts, suspicions, jealousies and accusations of the whole government."
The Senate confirmed the force of these remarks by this reply: "Our anxiety, arising from the licentious and open resistance to the laws, in the western counties of Pennsylvania, has been increased by the proceedings of self-created societies relative to the laws and administration of the government; proceedings, in our apprehension, founded in political error; calculated, if not intended, to disorganize our government; and which by inspiring delusive hopes of support, have been influential in misleading our fellow citizens in the scene of insurrection."
The House of Representatives experienced more difficulty in accommodating their answer to the opinion of the majority. The committee who were the authors of the first draught, had passed over those societies without notice. I have not been able to collect with certainty, in what manner it was proposed in the committee of the whole house to supply this omission; altho' the statement, now to be given, cannot wander far from the real occurrences. It was moved by some member who was disinclined to connect any of the democratic societies with the insurrection, to insert this clause by way of amendment to the address: "In tracing the origin and progress of the insurrection, we can entertain no doubt, that certain combinations of men, careless of consequences, and disregarding the truth, by disseminating suspicions, jealousies and accusations of the government have had all the agency you ascribe to them, in fomenting this daring outrage against social order and the authority of the laws." A motion was then made by another member to impute this agency as well to "certain self-created societies," as to the "combinations" of men; but it was negatived by a majority of one, or two at the utmost. For the transactions of the house we have a sure guide, and speak of them with confidence. Upon the reporting of the amendment to the house, without the addition of "self-created societies;" the insertion of them was again urged; and obtained a majority of forty seven to forty five. The next effort
was to restrict the "self-created societies and combinations of men, to the four western counties of Pennsylvania, and parts adjacent;" and the house being equally divided, the speaker decided in favour of the restriction.
The last struggle for a change in the original amendment, consisted in an attempt to procure a vote, that "the self-created societies and combinations of men in the four western counties of Pennsylvania and parts adjacent" were "countenance by self-created societies elsewhere." This was ineffectual forty two being in the affirmative, and fifty in the negative. But upon the main question, whether the house would agree to the clause, as it was amended, the whole was discarded. At length, the opposition on each side was moulded into this sentiment: "and we learn with the greatest concern that any misrepresentations whatever, of the government and its proceedings, either by individuals or combinations of men, should have been made, and so far credited, as to foment the flagrant outrage, which has been committed on the laws."
As legislative contests are always waged with zeal, and knowledge, they are sooner or later fit for the judgement of the people To this judgement the self-created societies would have been consigned, without any animadversions from my pen, if they had not vindicated themselves upon grounds, which at a future day may bear the scaffolding of a revolution, generated not by oppression, or by the love of pure freedom, but by design or a restless caprice.
The papers, which will appear under the signature of "Germanicus" have for their object to shew,
1. That the comments in the President's speech upon the self-created societies, are the genuine inferences from facts. 2. That his recommendation to "every description of citizens" was due from his functions, and their affectionate reliance on his wisdom and virtue. 3. That in neither of those comments, nor in that recommendation, did he intimate any expectation of a sanction from Congress, which the Constitution did not permit, and the crisis demand. 4. That the apologies offered in defence of the societies militate against the holy interests of republicanism.
While this division of the subject will meet the mischief, which has been inculcated, in all its aspects; it will particularly discriminate those societies, which seem to have been contemplated in the speech from others, which, though morally and politically innocent, are solicited to catch the alarm.
One previous reflection forces itself into view. The President must have foreseen, that the wrath of the societies would be kindled with insinuations against himself. Under such an impression he displays a new testimony of his firmness in executing, whatsoever he deems conducive to the public good. But it is not to be understood from hence, that the mantle of even his lustre is to cover, or sanctify, what in others would be error. Let it weigh only this much that, when a man, whose services, integrity and sage experience are the constant themes of praise among his fellow-citizens, & of veneration in his fellow-hemisphere, deliberately warns us against associations, which are powerful engines of a revolution, we ought to examine well their consequences, before we are enticed into them, by the trifling fancy, that we thereby acquire a political rank.
GERMANICUS.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday, January 16. Debate on the reported plan for reducing the public debt.
Continued.
Mr. S. Smith differed entirely from Mr. Ames, on the subject before the House. It had been alleged by gentlemen on the other side of the question, that when government laid a protecting duty, they had a right to impose a tax on the American manufacture thus protected, as soon as it was able to bear one. Mr. S. Smith objected to this maxim, on various grounds; and admitting that it was well founded, a multitude of other kinds of manufactures, of some of whom he read a long list, might be equally fair objects of taxation with those in the resolution before the committee. He also entered at large into the subject of the revenue, and insisted that he had been well grounded in his assertions, as to the possibility of discharging all which had been proposed of the public debt without having recourse to the present destructive excise duties. Refined sugar and snuff had been called luxuries, and for that reason held up as fit objects of revenue. There was no better way of introducing an excise upon a manufacture than by calling it a luxury. This would serve as a plausible precedent, and when once a precedent had been established, there is opened a door for doing any thing.
Mr. Madison did not think that the turn which the debate had taken was at all a proper one. The question before the House was only this, whether it was at present proper to prolong the taxes comprehended in the resolution. The house can, for this time, go on
without deciding the point. The proper statement of the question hereafter would perhaps be, whether it was better to proceed with existing articles of manufacture, subjected by the gentleman from Maryland, or to lay one general and efficient tax on property. The present taxes consisted of two sorts, viz. permanent, as the impost, &c. and temporary, as the excises in question. The permanent taxes could therefore be applied to the permanent object of reducing the public debt; and the temporary taxes to the temporary object as the military establishment &c. Instead of the question asked whether the public debt could be discharged by taxes for two years, it would be as proper to ask whether a military establishment, to which no appropriations could be constitutionally made for more than two years, ought to be provided for by taxes of indefinite continuance. He did not deny that there might be a reversionary appropriation of such taxes to the public debt, after the temporary purpose should have expired. But the practicability of such an arrangement was not a sufficient answer to the objections against making permanent new taxes uncertain in their product, contested in their principles, and which had been adopted under other circumstances, for other purposes.
The present subject, he said, in relation to the discharge of the public debt, had in every view been extremely magnified. Its importance lay, he thought, chiefly in its leading the attention of the committee to a comparison of the two general resources for paying off the public debt, namely, excises, and taxes apportioned on the several states according to the constitutional rule, and collected from individuals according to their property. If nothing more was intended than merely to pay the annual two per cent. which the funding law permitted Congress to pay, it was probable the impost alone might yield a competent surplus, without resorting either to excises, or apportional taxes. But if, as was professed, and as, he hoped, was intended, a great and effective plan was to be sought after, for the purpose of freeing the public from the evil of the debt, with as much dispatch as possible, we must then face the alternative of a system of excises, or of a general tax on property. Between these different modes of revenue, a choice was to be made. He pressed it on the attention of the committee, that if excises were to be preferred, it was in vain to hope they could be limited to a few trifling subjects, such as manufactured snuff and sugar. They must be extended to all the manufactures men are in the habit of using. (The gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Smith.) The whole country would be covered in fact with excises. Every manufacture must be made to contribute, and even then it would not be possible to draw forth as much revenue as would be paid in the other mode. He was aware that objections and prejudices existed against a tax laid on property. He regretted that such a difference of opinion prevailed not only in Congress, but in different parts of the union on this subject. He was persuaded, nevertheless that a tax on property was not only a more economical, and in every respect a more eligible resource, than a general system of excises, yielding the same amount of revenue, but that on the whole a majority of the people of America would be found less averse to it. He could speak with confidence on this point, as far as his own communications extended. Much he thought, of the dislike to a tax on property might be removed by taking different objects in different states, as might be most convenient or acceptable to them. This was perfectly consistent with the constitution, which did not require uniformity in this instance. In some states a tax on land, in others a tax on other articles of property; or partly on land and partly on other articles, might be most satisfactory; and the tax laws of the states would always assist in digesting the regulations for the purpose. He supposed that if this course should be taken, a million, or even two millions of dollars or more, could be raised in a year, and that the people would be willing to make such an exertion, rather than be saddled with a permanent debt; whereas he did not believe, that an excise system, if extended to every article manufactured in the country, could be made to produce anything like such a sum. If, however, he was deceived in this point, and a general system of excises adequate to the purpose should be proposed, and it should be apparent that the general disposition was more favourable to such a system, than to a tax apportioned in the manner prescribed in the constitution, he was ready to give up his objections. Much as he disliked excises, he thought a perpetual public debt a still greater evil.

But he should much prefer another system, and he repeated the caution, that the alternative was not between a tax on property, and the petty excises in question, which could not be felt in the work of sinking the debt; but between such a tax and excises spread over a sufficient number of manufactures to produce an equal sum of revenue. He again also suggested to the attention of the committee that the question was not whether the laws should be repealed, but whether they should remain as they stood, till their merit could be better known, and the whole subject be more fully taken up; and that all that was at this time aimed at with respect to the debt, would be attained by allotting the temporary part of the revenue to temporary purposes.
Foreign Intelligence. LONDON, November 10.
The dispatches received by Government from the British army, confirm our account of the attack made by the French on the British out posts on the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th ult. These attacks, however, do not appear to have been productive of any important consequences. The French continue before Nimeguen and Maastricht. A fort, attended with some success, had been made from the latter place. It was reported on Saturday and yesterday, that the Duke of York had received a reinforcement of 25,000 men. If such a reinforcement has been received; it is strange that the Gazette makes no mention of it.
The Duke of Brunswick is arrived at Nimeguen, to take upon him the command of the British army. The most important information that we have received this morning, relates to the negotiations for peace between several of the allied powers and the French Republic.
The King of Prussia, we have strong reasons for believing, has actually concluded a Peace with France. It was signed at Neufchâtel on the 12th of last month.
Our letters from Amsterdam assure us, that the King of Spain has also made peace, and that the treaty was signed at Paris on the 18th ult. There is also at Paris an Ambassador, who is negotiating a peace between the Germanic Empire and the French Republic.
The Emperor of Germany has not yet made any overtures for a termination of hostilities, but our letters from Vienna assure us that his Imperial Majesty has expressed a wish for the establishment of peace.
With sentiments of deep regret we communicate to the public the following intelligence which has been received by a Merchant at Amsterdam. That the Russians have again been successful against the Polish Patriots; that they have defeated Prince Poniatowski, and taken Warsaw by storm. Happy shall we be to be able to contradict this most unrelenting intelligence.
Letters from Hamburg mention that the gallant Kosciosko survived his wounds but a short time; that after his death his head was severed from his body, placed on a pike, and carried through the ranks of the Russian army.
The States of Holland and West Friesland have rejected by a great majority, the plan of a general inundation.
A fresh plot has been discovered at Rome against the life of his holiness the Pope; 1500 persons are concerned in it, and 58 of them are in custody.
In our paper of Saturday, we stated that a fort was to have been made by the garrison of Nimeguen in the night between the 4th and 5th. We are now enabled to inform the public, that the sortie (principally by the 12th regiment) was made in the night of the 4th, and that it was successful, the greatest part of the enemy's works before Nimeguen having been destroyed.—[Sun.]
We have several letters from different correspondents in the army, which confirm the advantage gained over the enemy by the garrison of Maastricht in a fortunate sortie which they made a few days ago. Some of our letters state the loss of the French at 2,000 killed others at 3,000, and some even as high as 4,000 men. Certain it is, it was very considerable; the works of the enemy were destroyed and their cannon spiked. The Austrians lost from 900 to 1000 men in this glorious and fortunate enterprise, which may probably be the means of the siege of Maastricht being raised.—Sun.
UNITED STATES. NEW-YORK, January 21. TAMMANY SOCIETY TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. Fellow-Citizens,
WE ADDRESS you not alone because it is now considered a question interesting to every patriot, how far the existence of political institutions of a nature like ours, has a friendly or malign influence on public happiness; But attempts having been made to stain the character of this Society by originating therein measures hostile to the great interests of the community, it is proper that an open declaration should be made of our views and sentiments.
We avow then our hearty and entire approbation of the conduct of the President of the United States in his late endeavours to discountenance certain self-created societies; and we perceive from the irritation a consciousness of merited censure has occasioned in various parts of the country, that the appellation by which he chose to distinguish them has been sufficiently discriminating. The event presents him to us as the firm and independent patriot, the prudent and sagacious statesman.
With him we love our country and we are grateful to heaven for its glorious constitution of government—Nay we are happy in its administration, trusting that at the helm even among those who have been generally in opposition to measures terminating in national prosperity and honour, are men distinguished for their talents and for their integrity.
We hold this constitution as the great palladium of civil liberty, security of peace and property to ourselves and happiness to posterity, and are ready to devote to its support our lives and fortunes.
It has within itself an active power of regeneration which nothing can impede but the madness of faction or an extreme licentiousness of ignorance.
Civil and natural liberty are to be carefully distinguished. The former is as excellent as the latter is dangerous. The latter must be abridged in order to secure the former. Civil liberty is wisdom and order, natural liberty is ignorance and anarchy.
While the citizens of the United States are careful to educate their youth in moral and political science, their liberties cannot be greatly endangered. Nothing is wanting but information and virtue generally diffused. Inordinate jealousy which has often proved the bane of republics, watches with a jaundiced eye those constituted authorities which support the best interests of the community; engendering at the same time the polluted streams of faction, disappointment, ambition, avarice, falsehood and disorder.
We claim it as the unquestionable right of the citizens to associate, to speak, and to publish their sentiments whether for or against the laws. But such associations are only excellent as revolutionary means when a government is to be overturned. An exercise of this right in a free and happy country like this resembles the sport of firebrands; it is phrenzy, and this phrenzy is in proportion to the party zeal of the self created-association to the secrecy of its measures, and the permanency of its compact.
It violates this leading principle in republicanism that rights are to be equally exercised. It discovers under the garb of democracy the cloven foot of aristocracy. It will be often seen to operate as a system of threat, illiberality and sedition. Ought it not to be sufficient to the patriot that the real wants and wishes of the community fairly and indiscriminately collected on particular occasions are conveyed to that common centre, wherein is collected also the public wisdom, sympathies and virtue?
This society disclaims a faction or disaffected dignity of merit. It interferes not with the constituted authorities of the country, unless it might be in support of the laws. If there be well meaning men in self-created societies, who suppose they can legislate better than its representatives this society can only pity their presumptuous delusion; but designing men, who would rise on the ruins of the tried friends of the people, ought to dread the public information. No dark recess remains long obscured, mysteries are soon disclosed under the brightness of our political day. We trust that the reputation of Tammany Society will ever be preferred from measures founded either in honest delusion or political artifice.

From which it appears the five first named persons are elected. Aaron Kitchell also had 2065 votes to supply the place of Abraham Clark, Esq. deceased, till the 4th day of March next, and we presume is elected.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.
From a Correspondent. Were M. Genet to exercise a degree of candour, of which we believe him capable, from his natural frankness, we doubt not, but that he "could a tale unfold that" would evince the imminent danger in which we stood, at the time he endeavoured, by orders from the Republic, to involve us in War. That he was ordered so to do, is a fact—yet have the Democratic Clubs owed their existence to the spirit of these orders, and yet do they still go on. America need but open her eyes on these vipers.
At a stated meeting of the society for the institution and support of the First Day or Sunday Schools, held the 15th inst. the following gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year, viz.

There is a publication in the Pittsburgh Gazette of the 17th inst. signed David Redick, in which, after a denial of some charges that have been brought forward against the Democratic Society of Washington—relative to their contributing to the late Insurrection, or interfering in elections—he withdraws himself from said Society—and advises the dissolution of the same.
Extract from the Pittsburgh Gazette of the 17th inst.
Peace now reigns triumphant in this country, and the citizens appear universally disposed to maintain it—they have seen their folly, and it is hoped will profit by experience—they have discovered those to be their enemies whom they considered as friends, and they will, no doubt, instil it into the minds of their children, that it may be handed from one generation to another, to think and speak with horror of those who were the beginners of the late unfortunate calamity.

Notes to Correspondents.
"Cato" we hope will excuse us for omitting to insert his Essay on the danger of Foreign influence.—It is almost impossible for a foreigner to write English, unless it be his mother tongue, without violating our idiom.—The Aurora is evidence of this—in that paper we perpetually see a Fricasse of new fangled opinions and they are attempted to be palmed upon us as a dish of American Hominy.—We like Cato's ideas, but dislike imposition.
"Phelim's" information about the Mingo Creek Democratic Clubs is too generally known to need publication—Besides it would now be useless cruelty to recall the attention of the public to names—Let the consciences of these gentlemen
alone—They were incendiaries—but the engines lately used upon them and their party have cooled them—they are now too contemptible for notice.
In yesterday's Gazette it was stated that the proprietors of the German School had passed a vote "that no political societies or clubs should in future hold their meetings in said School House" on further Information we learn that the vote was passed by a great majority of the members present of the vestry, or Corporation of the German Lutheran Society.

Inscripted to the Citizens of the United States of North America. By Mrs. Rowson. As performed at the New Theatres in Philadelphia and Baltimore.  Extract from the Preface. My chief aim has been, to offer to the public a Dramatic Entertainment, which, while it might excite a smile, or call forth the tear of sensibility, might contain no one sentiment, in the least prejudicial to the moral or political principles of the government under which I live. On the contrary, it has been my endeavour, to place the social virtues in the fairest point of view, and hold up to merited contempt and ridicule, their opposite vices. If, in this attempt, I have been the least successful, I shall reap the reward to which I aspire, in the smiles and approbation of a liberal public. Sold by M. Carey, No. 148, and Rice & Co.

Inland Navigation. In the Press and speedily will be published by  Zachariah Poulson, jun.

With an Appendix, containing Abstracts of the Acts of the Legislature since the year 1795, and their Grants of Money for improving Roads and Navigable Waters throughout the State—which is annexed. "An Explanatory Map." Published by Direction of the President and Managers of the Schuylkill and Susquehanna, and the Delaware and Schuylkill Navigation Companies. "Here smooth CANALS, across the extend- e plain Stretch their long arms to join the distant main. The sons of toil, with many a weary stroke Scour the hard bottom of the solid rock; Resisted through the stony opposing clay, With steady patience, work their gradual way; Compel the Genius of the unwilling flood Through the brown morass of the aged wood; Cross the lone waste the silver urn they pour, And cheer the barren heath or fallen moor. "The traveller, with pleasing wonder sees The white sail gleaming through the dusky trees; And views the altered landscape with sur- prize And doubts the magic scenes that round him lie. Now like a flock of swans, above his head, Their woven wings the flying vessels spread Now meeting stream, in artful maze aglide While each, unmingled, pours a separate tide; Now, though the hidden veins of earth they flow And visit sulphurous mines and caves be- low. The dusky streams obey the guiding hand, And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND! Jan. 19

A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the neces- sary expenses of printing, &c. and the sur- plus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington. The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The drawing will be under the management of 24 gentlemen approved by the commissioners for the City of Wash- ington, for the time being, and acting on oath.
SAMUEL BLODGET. Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James Wolf & Co. Baltimore; of Gideon Deatton, Savannah; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Rich- mond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's Ferry. Aug. 30
Several causes have combined to re- tard the drawing of the above Lottery, the principal of which are, three other respec- table and similar institutions, viz. One to erect the Piers at New Castle, one to for- ward the city of Paterson, and that to erect an addition to Harvard College. These having trebled the quantity of tick- ets at market, have rendered extraor- dinary exertions necessary to complete the sales in as short a time as possible; and the public are assured, that from the present prospects, the business may soon be brought to a conclusion, and an early day will be named for drawing, and the names of the managers announced in the course of the present month.
