an History of the
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

the American Philosophical Society, Fel-
low of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences, and Correspondent Member of
the Massachusetts Historical Society.
Two large quarto volumes, price Ten Dol-

them at T. Dobson's Store.
The importance of materials for a History
of the United States will be generally acknow-

preserve the early and authentic documents
on this subject which had become exceedingly
scarce, and were not obtained without diffi-
culty.
Many of these papers are very curious, and
will be highly interesting to the lovers of
American Antiquities, and when considered
as authentic memoirs of the early transac-
tions of a people destined to occupy a distin-
guished and enviable station in the annals of
human liberty, they become peculiarly inter-
esting and important.

History of the CLERGY, DURING THE French Revolution, In Three Parts. By the ABBE BARRUEL, Almoner To her serene Highness, the Princess of Conti. THIRD EDITION. Dec. 30
For the Gazette of the United States
In the Woods, 4th January, 1795. To ROBERT MICKLE, pro tem. Secre- tary of the Republican Society of Bal- timore.
SIR, WITH all the treachery and am- bitious views of Pistrinarius you feign your- selves to be injured and abused by the President of the United States in his speech to the two houses of Congress, and then with the whining cant, the very modest, downcast looks, and hum- ble supplicating voice of Catiline, when attacked in the Senate by Cicero, you throw yourselves upon the people and claim their protection—Like Catiline "you pray the people will not lightly receive any charge against you—" "such are your births—and such too have been the rule and course of your lives, that from the public you hope for every honorable, for every favor- able impression. The people cannot surely conceive that Secretary Mic- kle, and the members of the imma- culate, harmless self-created Club, of Baltimore who have rendered such services to the commonwealth could be conceived in fomenting a rebellion, while such upstarts as the President and members of Congress have undertaken its defence, and even now fabricate charges against us."
How this great incendiary was treated by the Senate of Rome, every body has read in Sallust. They rose with indignation; and in one voice proclaim- ed him a traitor and Parricide—He fled—And you ought to know the voice of the great body of the people of Amer- ica towards your self-created incendiary Clubs—and before now, like Bradford a brother in the Insurrection, would you have fled your country had you not more than Catiline's impudence, and Cæsar's ambition.
You call upon your accusers to declare to the people, who have a right to know, from what source of information they de- rive the sentiments they have expressed of your societies.—And the people, who have a right to be informed, call upon your nocturnal societies to declare who you are, and what you are? and by what authority you have organized yourselves into corporations and affili- ated with one another, in a wicked league against Government, from one end of the country to the other—and it proclaimed yourselves to be Censors over all constitutional authorities, and guardians of the people's rights. I say come forth and declare these things to the people; for till you have done this how can the people judge between you and the President, who, you say, has calumniated you for the exercise of this censorial right.—Declare also your regulations, your qualifications of mem- bership: The mysterious concealment of these things is evidence of the wick- edness of your association.—If these things were right and your views un- ambitious, we doubt not but you would have been open, frank and candid.— You never would have said, as you now do, that 'tis more thro' want of atten- tion than of respect to the people that you concealed your views and objects.—It is ridiculous for you to talk about respect for the people, and at the same time, to acknowledge you are so inattentive as not to think of your relation to them!
The idea you hold up of the char- acter of your Club deserves our attention. You would have us to look upon you as a Society of men whose duty it should be to watch the proceedings of our public officers—and a check to the men who, having ventured their health, their for- tunes and lives in the service of their country, might be disposed to slide into its vitals.—I suppose you mean, might become tyrants—to such also who set- ting out with purest zeal for the liberties of mankind, but having become corrupted in their progress, will never afterwards be induced to lay down the authority which the gratitude of the nation, or ne- cessity had intrusted them with.
At the first reading 'tis difficult to determine whether this part of your ad- dress favors most of bare-faced impu- dence, or profound ignorance; but on a second perusal, and noting your histo- rical blunders, and bewildered attempts to draw general conclusions from a few ill-digested facts, the whole of it may be considered as the legitimate "off- spring of ambition, begot on the body of ignorance," and midwife into the world by impudence.
A self-created society of men, whose duty it shall be to watch over our rulers and public officers! over the President of the United States—the Governors —the Senators and representatives of the federal and State Governments— all freely elected, directly or indirectly,
by the people—what fine fellows you are! Pray repeat this to your club at your next meeting; and if perchance a blush should creep on your cheeks, we may hope you are not yet lost to all sense of shame, and that repentance is yet possible. Have the people imposed this duty upon you, or have you assum- ed it as you do your name? Have the people requested your superintendence of their public officers? no, Robert you give strong marks of being actuated by deceitful, ambitious spirits! If the people had supposed such a censorial body were necessary it is to be imagined they would have passed it over in silence at the adoption of the Constitution; and left it to be pointed out to them, and organized by a denounced Jacobin. What do you make of yourselves less than a corporate body of censors of perpetual duration, and perfectly inde- pendent of the people! You have de- nounced the President, Congress and the laws—where will you stop? Have we not reason to fear that your Socie- ties, like your brethren the Jacobins of France, are aiming at a controul over the constitutional authorities of the coun- try? Have not some of your self-created societies declared under your signature of office that the President is guilty of having violated the fundamental princi- ples of the Constitution? I believe they have, and till now I did not know that any body of men or Corporation what- ever had a right to pronounce this sen- tence in their corporate capacity, except the Senate of the United States, nor even in this case, before he has been im- peached by the House of Representa- tives who are the great inquisitors of the Nation. When we choose our Re- presentatives, we know what powers we intrust to them, and how long they are to exercise them; among the powers de- legated, is that of enquiring into the conducts, and impeaching all public officers from the highest to the lowest, not excepting the supreme executive of the Nation. In addition to this, and for the greater security of the people, the President is vested by law, with power to remove most of the public of- ficers excepting those who are appoint- ed during good behaviour; are not all these guards sufficient, that you and your Clubs must wickedly endeavour to thrust yourselves in the places of the national functionaries, & usurp this most important power! and after all, the only apology you make for yourselves is, by declaring with the blind fanatical fanatic of the Jacobin, Jacques Clement, that you "conceal in the secret of radi- cal conviction, and your consciences compel you to proceed as you have done." This is the defence made by all fanat- ics, and those who suffer themselves to be led into open rebellions and insur- rections, by men more corrupt and am- bitious than themselves. Reflect a lit- tle on the enormities your societies have already to answer for, and before it be too late, amend your ways, and re- trieve your characters.
Good bye, for the present, I must speak a word or two to your good friend and great ally, in the business of Insur- gency: Blair McClenachan, who has lately made his appearance with the ring- tail of President, to the Insurgent Club of Pennsylvania, tagged to his name— and in the meantime, I beg leave to subscribe myself, with due respect to your persons, and proper detestation of your principles and conduct. ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MORE ADVICE TO A PARTY.
Whatever is popular, you must pre- tend to be for—whatever is unpopular, you must be against! but you must not stop there—for you will not fail to raise a hue and cry against the other party, as if they were against all popular measures, and advocates of all such as are obnox- ious. Caves will arise too which will call for a relaxation of this rule of court- ing popularity. The people were fle- dly bent on peace, and on peace mea- sures—They approved the proclama- tion of neutrality; and the fitting out pri- vateers in our sea-ports was abhorred by all, except some gangs of cut-throats. Yet you were obliged to make a seem- ing popularity in favour of Genet and privateering. What was done then might, on other urgent occasions, be done again. Your lying newspapers will call you the People—your clubs, if they should not become too infamous to help your cause, will swear to it, and will proceed to vote the officers of gov- ernment out-laws—you can keep up a clamour that will drown the still, small voice of conscience, and the remonstran- ces of real patriots. One newspaper can make as much noise as a bell; and every one knows that if the bell-ringer
takes it into his head to ring for fire, nobody can prevent an alarm. When you get into scrapes, and the law snaps hold of you, nothing is easier than to club and pack a jury to let you off. Only remember, that such select remedies should not be made too com- mon.
Nothing could be better conducted than your system, since the arrival of Genet, except in one point, and then you missed it. You hurried matters too fast; you mistook your own noise for the voice of the people—and so you failed for that time.
Take better care another time; make haste, slowly, and let mischief ripen on the tree, before you gather it. One false step of the party, especially that of the whisky insurrection, should make you prudent and wary; and then your final success is almost beyond the risk of accidents. You will be most terrible after your defeat.
Hamper and obstruct every salutary proposition with constitutional doubts. All the half-wits will believe, and all the knaves will proclaim, that your quibbles are profound principles, and your hints of possible inconvenience, in- spired foretellings of certain ruin and despotism. It will grow into a habit that every good thing is unconstitutional. All measures of energy, of system, and order, fall, naturally, under these objections. Order in our finances is an encroachment on the constitution; there- fore, in a short time, you may abolish the treasury department, and appoint a committee of fifteen to be sole finan- cier and secretary. In the progress of things, you may disband the army, and instead of regular troops, employ militia at a three-fold expence.
This will display the glory of your economy—it will swell your praises at the next election, as hatters of a stand- ing army—it will glorify you also as the champions and trumpeters of the militia. You will find even a militia army the object of jealousy—and, there- fore, you should democratise it, and vest the command in a committee of fifteen; or in the town-meeting of the state- house yard. In that case no Cromwell leader, no conquering Cæsar could rise from a general to a monarch.
Make a motion to reduce the exor- bitant compensations; but, mind, let your zeal in pressing it be active or forbear- ing, according to circumstances—for, tho' it is a good thing to move, it would be a bad one to carry. It would be fallacious for the party to reduce the salaries, or the public debt, because you want all subjects of complaint to be kept in full force, power, and virtue; and you will be reduced, by reducing the public debt—therefore, as you re- gard your life and being, keep that debt up as high as you can, all the time cur- ring it, and curling those who are in ear- nest to pay it off, because they deem it a public blessing. It is true, they nei- ther say any such thing, nor do they omit any occasion to prove the contrary by their votes: But stand to it that they are the political heretics, whose faith is pinned on the public debt. For- bid foreign noblemen to settle here; but make the rabble of Paris welcome. You may have occasion for them to su- perintend your lamp-posts, and to assist at the celebration of your tenth of Au- gust and second of September.
Thus while the times are prosperous and quiet, good men will be supine and negligent—the voice of the real people will not be raised; you may then act almost unresisted. Your buzz of insin- cero, jealousy, and accusation, will be heard; you may sow the seeds of clubs, insurrections, and tumult, in every soil— as the devouring insects are employed in the first warm weather of the spring to lay their eggs under the moss and bark of the trees; in due time they hatch out, and become caterpillars and cankerworms.
In times of danger and trouble, the passions of the multitude will be up, and you will have the direction of them; no matter what sets passion up, and pulls reason down, you will rise by it into power and consequence. Good times will increase your strength—bad times will call it forth.
Public prosperity is not the time for you to execute your schemes; it is, how- ever, the time to prepare them. But prosperity has, in all countries, its ebb and flow. America will have, again, days of sorrow and alarm—that will be your time. The heroes, the statesmen, the patriots who now oppose you, and hold up the government, will wear out, or become weary and disaffected, and re- tire from office. Men, after my own heart will, one by one, in time of peace, or a host at once, in case of confusion, sueced to the helm. The ship of state will then be your prize, and the cargo will belong to the captors: Therefore, if you love power, wait for it—be flow-
and cautious in your measures, and re- member, that the power of party, which never ceases to act—which is changed, but not impaired by defeat—which is proof against flame, against principle, and against force, will prevail at last. Your imprudence may delay your suc- cess, but cannot finally prevent it.
ANARCH.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.
Extract of a letter from Northampton, Massachusetts, Dec. 31, 1794.
Our navigable Canal at South Hadley Falls in Connecticut river was opened last Wednesday.
The President, Directors and other Proprietors with about fifty passengers had the pleasure of sailing out of the Canal into the Machine prepared to receive the loaded boats—after we were in, the water was let out of the machine; and the sluice gate being hoisted, the wheel of the machinery was put in motion, and moved majestically down the inclined plane till we reached the water below— We were then by means of the water op- erating on the same wheel machinery, drawn back (or made to ascend this stupendous artificial acclivity) and sailed out of the machine into the Canal again.
I do assure you, my friend, we were very much delighted—Every thing op- erated in every point of view agreeable to our most sanguine wishes.
Thus perfect the theory—thus complete the execution of the works!
This is the first experiment in this coun- try for over coming so great a fall of water by means of the inclined plane—and I be- lieve the experiment has not been made in any country on such extensive principles— and in several important parts of this work we have a clear title to originality.
This inclined plane with its concomi- tant machinery is well worthy the inspec- tion of the curious and ingenious artian, and of the philosophic mechanic—both would be entertained—perhaps instructed!
The machine constructed for the purpose of conveying the boats up and down the inclined plane was invented by Mr. Pres- cott, our Superintendent—a gentleman of great mechanical ingenuity—I shall there- fore call it, in honor of the inventor, the Prescottian Machine.
As you have never seen the works I will give you a sketch of them—tho' it will be a very imperfect one.
A Dam begins on the western shore near the head of the falls and runs eleven rods into the river; then turns and runs down the river inclining to the eastern shore one hundred and thirty rods—here a strong guard lock is made and connected with the end of the dam and eastern bank of the river—The dam, or a weir higher than the fresh ever rises, is then contin- ued thirty rods further to land over which the river never flows; and here the dig- ging of the Canal begins—it is eighteen feet wide, and runs two miles varying greatly in its depth—and terminates thro' a hill of solid rock fifty three feet higher than the bed of the river below—This per- pendicular height of fifty three feet is over- come, or surmounted, by means of water works operating on the inclined plane— The inclined plane joins the Canal at the hill, and gradually descends two hundred and thirty feet to the bed of the river;— and here, the water being shallow, another Canal begins and is dug one hun- dred and twenty five rods to deep water in the river below the rapids.
At the head of the inclined plane is a simple but ingenious and powerful wheel machinery connected by cables with the Prescottian machine—This is drawn up the inclined plane by throwing a quantity of water out of the Canal thro' a sluice way upon a wheel, and winding the cable round a large cylinder—Loaded boats are also safely let down the plane by throwing a less quantity of water on the same wheel, which in this case, operates as a check, and prevents the machine with its contents from running precipitately down; the op- erator can at pleasure and in an instant, re- tard, accelerate or stop the motion of the machine on any part of the inclined plane. When a boat is to be taken into the ma- chine from the upper Canal, a gate is opened and the water of the Canal fills the ma- chine and the boat falls in—the gate that lets the water in is then shut, and side gates are opened to let the water out; then the water wheel is set in motion, and the machine with the loaded boats in it de- scends the inclined plane into the water of the lower Canal—here the machine is im- mediately filled with the water again, and the boat floats off and sails on its course to Hartford—and here also the boats, com- ing up the river, sail into the machine &— and as it emerges from the Canal the wa- ter runs out, and it ascends the inclined plane to the upper Canal where the water is again let in, and the boat floats out, passes thro' the Canal into the river above the falls and proceeds on its destined voy- age thro' a fertile and delightful country!
A boat will pass up or down the inclined plane in ten minutes without any manu- al labor whatever other than opening and shutting gates which is instantly done. The mechanism of the machine for rais- ing the boats up and down the inclined plane, is made water tight, and is fixed ex- actly strong wheels, there on each side two near the fore part—two in the centre and two abaft—but of different diameters suited to the inclination of the plane so as to keep the machine and loaded boats per- fectly horizontal in this aerial voyage.

Mr. Page, in the House of Representatives of Congress, on the 22d of December last, on an amendment proposed by Mr. Dexter to the naturalization bill.
Mr. Page said, that he approved the design of the mover, because he thought nothing more desirable than to see good order, public virtue, and true morality...

This Work will be comprised in Eight Duodecimo Volumes, printed on a fine American paper, in a file of Typographical Elegance that shall reflect the highest credit on the American press. II. That it shall be embellished with a beautiful Frontispiece of Shakspeare, engraved by the best American Artist. III. That the price to Subscribers will be EIGHT DOLLARS, one dollar to be paid on subscribing, and one dollar on the receipt of every succeeding volume but the last—to enable the Publishers to pursue with convenience this arduous undertaking. IV. Each volume shall be delivered in blue boards to the Subscribers immediately on the publication of every volume with best impressions of the Frontispiece—the price to be raised to Non-Subscribers. V. That the names of the Subscribers will be printed to record the patrons of this endeavour to encourage the useful and elegant Arts in America. Subscriptions are received by Messrs.

TO THE PUBLIC. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book Store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia. WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual Sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocrypha, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c. A Summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church. As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead the evidences have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine those Works, for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, the being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.

PROPOSALS By Thomas Dobson, For Publishing by Subscription, An English Translation OF Poole's Synopsis of the Translations of the Bible, And Of The Critics, Interpreters, and Commentators Exhibiting at one view, the principal criticisms, and most valuable elucidations of the Scriptures: Illustrations of the ancient Eastern Manners and customs; & Descriptions of the Plants and Animals therein mentioned; with improvements from observations of Travellers, since the publication of that excellent work. It has been master of wonder and regret that this most learned and valuable work, so highly prized by the learned, both curious and serious, has never been translated, and thereby the bulk of readers have been deprived of a work of the greatest entertainment and utility; in which by the Labors of the learned of various ages and nations, the Sacred Scriptures are cleared of the contradictions and absurdities of modern translations, and the ancient manners, metaphors, allegories, and figures are illustrated in such a way, as to unite the most rational entertainment with the most just instruction; & to discover the source whence true philosophers, in all ages, have derived their knowledge from the Sacred Scriptures, which contain the seeds of all the sciences valuable to man.
This work is proposed to the Public on the following CONDITIONS. It is supposed the whole will be completed in four volumes, large quarto; and will be set to the press as soon as a sufficient number shall be subscribed for, to defray the expence. The price to subscribers will be four dollars for each volume, in boards. No money will be demanded till the first volume shall be completed, when the price of the first and second volumes will be required. When the second volume is finished, the price of the third will be payable. When the third volume is finished, the price of the fourth must be paid. The price of such copies as may not be subscribed for will be raised 25 per cent. Dec. 13. z a w 4w
