Fellow Citizens,
At a time when suspicions and jealousies are industriously excited in the public mind, by the enemies of peace and good order, it is certainly the duty of every man, who has the welfare of his country at heart, to step forward and oppose such designs. With this view, I have presumed thus publicly to address you: and that, not under a feigned signature, as one ashamed of the part he acts—but signing my name, and avowing my sentiments. The present crisis demands candour and firmness in the friends to order and good government. Emissaries from north and south are among us; combinations against our peace and happiness appear to be formed. This opinion seems to be strengthened by those printed petitions to the Federal Legislature which are handed about; and whose object is to defeat an act of the Executive, and by creating distrust in the minds of the people, lessen their confidence in their public officers. To effect these ends, designing men make a handle of the treaty lately ratified by the President between Great Britain and the United States. They represent it as a many headed monster, pregnant with destruction to the rights—the liberties and independence of America. Every man who had a hand in it, is treated with the most illiberal abuse, and held forth as an enemy to his country. Even that great and good man, who presides over the Union, has been represented in a point of view, calculated, if possible, to detract from his merit, & to injure his character. Here let me ask, can it be supposed that the President, who, for more than 20 years, has displayed a patriotism unequalled in modern times, has, at last, lost sight of that virtuous conduct which gained him the applause of an admiring world? He has been the steady friend of his country in the worst of times, and in the most critical situations, and can we imagine he is now going to abandon and forsake her? the uniform rectitude of all his actions forbids the thought.
I shall not venture to decide on the merits of the treaty; but allow me to observe, that the twenty Senators who voted for it, together with the President who ratified it, are at least as likely to be in the right as the ten who voted against it. That many good and well meaning men object to the treaty, I have no doubt: but are their objections in themselves so important, that, rather than wave them, we must run the risque of domestic confusion and foreign war. The treaty was constitutionally made, and constitutionally adopted; it therefore becomes the duty of every good citizen to acquiesce. Noise and clamour can answer no other purpose but to render men dissatisfied to public measures. Were those who busy themselves in exciting the fears and alarms of the farmer at his plough, and the mechanic at his work, candidly to avow their designs, it is to be feared, they would be little short of disorganizing the government. Their language and conduct give but too much room for the supposition. Though our government and administration are esteemed by the nations of Europe as models of excellence, yet, in the opinion of these men, our liberty is expiring—our constitution violated—our public officers deceivers, and aristocracy exercising its tyranny. Thus, under the language of the patriot, is concealed the design of the monarchist.
Was the question put to the people of the United States—do you live happy under your present government? few, I flatter myself, would answer in the negative, but such as would not be happy under any species of government. Is not the administration of our public affairs attended with the happiest effects? By our neutrality in the present European war, are not our best interests promoted? We remain in peace with foreign nations, and we experience prosperity at home. When had we such encouragement for industry as at present? The produce of our farms command prices heretofore unknown. The husbandman is amply compensated for his labour; our farmers are growing rich and independent; in short, all classes feel and enjoy the general welfare. But had a contrary policy prevailed in our public councils, different effects would have been experienced; the United States, it is more than probable, would, ere this, have been engaged in a ruinous and destructive war.
It is not long since, when war in all its horrors raged in this country: much blood was shed, many lives lost, and much property destroyed ere it was happily terminated. These things are recent in the memory of every man. Can we then so soon with a renewal of them? Are we already anxious to see our country drenched in blood; our towns laid in ashes; and every kind of industry stand still? Do we long for the moment when the plough shall be deserted for the spear; the sickle for the sword; and domestic serenity for the noise of cannon—carnage and death. I hope and trust we are not so infatuated. The men who with for troubles of this kind to take place, are not the men who will be foremost in the day of battle, nor who will be most generous in affording pecuniary aid for the support of war. No, your sons will be taken from you to fight, and your purses will be opened to pay. In short, my fellow citizens, so many are the physical and moral evils attendant upon war, that so long as there is a prospect of adjusting our differences by negotiation, we ought to deprecate the idea of having recourse to the dener resort. Consider these things seriously, and your own good sense will determine you aright. We ought to be upon our guard, so as not to suffer ourselves to be lulled by plausible words, when the danger is fatal to our peace and prosperity. Let us place that confidence in the Executive which his well-trieed virtue demands, and not tamely yield our opinions and sentiments to the declamatory verbage of designing sophists.
You, Citizen Soldiers, who compose that division of Militia which I have the honor to command, are, I flatter myself, as you have always been, the steady friends of peace and good government. Already have you given the world a proof of your attachment to both. The alacrity and cheerfulness which you discovered, redounds to your honor: The principles from which you acted were
noble—they were worthy of freemen:—Let them always actuate you.—Peace and good order are infinitely valuable: Prize them highly—promote them with steadiness. Friends of civil liberty, you must be friends to good government. In the present day, it is become more peculiarly necessary to show our attachment, by discountenancing, in a pointed manner, every attempt to lessen it in our esteem. The insinuations of the designing should be repulsed with rational firmness; and as we have sworn to support the constitution, which is the envy of some, but the admiration of many, let us be careful to transmit it safe and incorrupted to posterity.
Thus, my fellow citizens, have I exercised that right common to all freemen, of expressing their thoughts upon political affairs. I have done no more than what I conceived it my duty to do, and what I considered the importance of the occasion demanded. It may, however, be supposed, (as every man's conduct is liable to censure) that it is presumption and arrogance in an individual to intrude his sentiments upon the public. My conduct, in this respect, may be represented in what light it may; but it gives me pleasure to reflect, that I have the approbation of my own mind, as to the integrity of my intentions. With every wish for your prosperity and happiness.
I am, &c. DANIEL MORGAN. Saratoga, Oct. 28, 1795.
From the American Daily Advertiser.
Messrs. Dunlap and Claypoole,
A PAMPHLET having lately made its appearance in this city, entitled, "Letters from General Washington to his Friends in June and July, Seventy Six, in which is set forth an interesting view of American politics at that important period," it is due to virtue and to truth, to give to the public the real history of this political imposture:
The object of the Pamphleteer was very well known to every American at all engaged in public affairs, at the period of its publication; nor does it require much sagacity, to discover the views of those who brought it forward now.
The author, the publisher, and the re-publisher, assimilate perfectly in their morality and politics, and shew equal zeal (tho' at distant eras) in the use of the same means for the accomplishment of the same end. Abandonment of country, with its concomitants, contempt and poverty, was the lot of the author. What may be the fate of his modern associates in guilt, the republishers of his lucubrations, time will discover.
If the sameness in character, in politics and in measures, entitles the revivers of the wicked imposition to the fortune of their prototype, it may be fairly presumed, that these filchers of good name will not long escape similar punishment.
It cannot be forgotten by any, that an appeal to arms soon followed the first political movements which led to the American Revolution. With but few officers, and no soldiers, the United States flaked her all on the decision of the sword: in this awful crisis, to find a character fitted for the difficult task of giving energy to our infantine means of defence, became a subject of serious consideration. We all know on whom the choice fell—the wisdom of the appointment became soon evident, and begat a solicitude in our enemy to deprive us of the good of our choice, by turning from the commander in chief the confidence of his country. This was to be done, by exciting suspicions among the people of his sincerity in the cause he had espoused, and by planting personal enmity in the breasts of influential political characters. To effect this object, many means were tried; among them was the base attempt to palm upon the people certain letters, as the confidential correspondence of the General with some of his nearest friends. A perfidious story, tolerably well acquainted with Mount Vernon, forgetful of favours received, and devoted to the destruction of the revolution, engaged in the execution of the disgraceful project. He wrote a series of letters, as may be seen in the Pamphlet lately republished here.
The file of these letters is of itself a sufficient evidence of their spurious birth; but this evidence, however conclusive, can only operate partially.
Facts are artfully intermingled with falsehood; noble sentiments interspersed through the performance; domestic matters referred to, sometimes with accuracy, the names of servants, known to the author when a tenant at Mount Vernon, introduced, all together producing a combination, which, on first view, is apt to give credit to the imposture.
This was the momentary effect, when the letters were originally published. Immediately, first impressions yielded to the power of truth, and to the just indignation of the traduced patriot. A general execration attached itself to the author and his abettors.
Such was the issue of the dishonorable attempt, when self preservation rendered the studious scrutiny and at a time which tried mens' souls.
To suppose a contrary issue now, would cast a stigma on the American name, and would predicate a degeneracy in the people, pregnant with every ill. Yet it may not be amiss to notice, for the information of our political agitators, two evident aberrations from truth, among the many with which the pamphlet abounds.
It is stated in the preface, that Billy, the old servant of General Washington, was found among the prisoners at Fort-Lee; and that rough draughts of the pretended correspondence were discovered in his possession.
This mode of introducing to the world the base fabrication was tolerably ingenious, as it is not uncommon to trust a body servant with personal baggage; but it happens unfortunately for the author and his modern disciples, that the servant mentioned never was a prisoner. This is well known to thousands of the late army now living: The writer is so far from the Commander in chief having lost his body servant, it is an undeniable truth, that he
never lost, during the war, one of his domestics, or even the smallest part of his baggage.
In the last letter of the pamphlet, the author personating the General, directs all suspicious and unmarried slaves to be removed from Mount Vernon to his quarters in Frederick, inasmuch as there was reason to apprehend a marauding expedition would take place up the Potomac. Under such circumstances, the direction given was certainly natural and prudent; but here again the pamphleteer mistakes egregiously. For many years before the war, the quarters in Frederick had been discontinued, and the land tenanted. To order the removal of negroes thither, might be expected from the General, who had heard of quarters at Frederick, and supposed them still there; but it would have been a singular piece of inattention in the General, who well knew that he had no quarters in Frederick in 1776.
It is tiresome and unnecessary to pursue the many detections which arise out of the performance, to the view of a man acquainted with the truth of the case.
All good citizens who recollect the positive disavowal of the pretended correspondence, on its first publication, by the respectable character in whose name it was ushered into the world, will never ask additional testimony on the subject—men of a different description, will ever take delight in defaming exalted virtue. It is hostile to all their views in life, and to banish it from society is the object of their unremitting exertions.
To confront and expose the calumnies of this class of citizens, has been subjoined to this narrative, that explanation, which shews, from the pamphlet itself, the falsehood of its title. No expectation is entertained of correcting the egotists; they are hackneyed in their guilt; but, it is hoped, that the effect of their agency among the people will be diminished by detecting their habitual disregard of truth, and thereby good be produced to our Common Country.
Robespierre's tyranny was established in France, by the same means now pursued by a certain set among us.—Ought not the miseries of our friends, under his sway, to be an instructive beacon to us?
Let us, then, with one voice, adopt those measures which comport with law, for the punishment of all publishers and vendors of falsehood. Our municipal code is equal to the object; and a union of the purges of citizens, true to their country, is only necessary to put the laws in effectual execution.

For the FARMER'S WEEKLY MUSEUM.
"Favor is deceitful."
UNDOUBTEDLY, though Lavater, a Swiss clergyman, whose faith, it seems could remove mountains, has, in a book, which treats of faces, asserted that the nose is no cheat, and that he can see every man's character sitting astride on his nose.
This is a whimsical age: who would believe that a man could be found, sufficiently bold, and readers, sufficiently credulous, to suppose that Favor is not deceitful.
More than forty years since, when my grandmother suffered my elder brother to lead me by the hand into company, I was pleased with all faces. You, charming maid, says I to a smiling lass, have a benevolent countenance, you must lend a favorable ear to my vows—a sudden coquettish wave of her fan, and a scorching nose proved that favor was deceitful.
A buyer goes into a country store, and leaning over the counter, asks the shopkeeper for changeable silk. He holds up a piece in a favorable point of view, and smiling plausibly, declaims an hour upon its cheapness and durability. The silk is bought; when daughter Dolly had worn it two Sundays, it was still changeable; spotted with bilge water, and torn by a pin, even one eye might read on the hem that favor is deceitful.
I recollect that, during my nonage, I reled many hopes upon the plausibility of a limping courtier: He had been educated by the Jesuits, noted for giant promise and pigmy performance. This man had a sweet smile and a silver tongue. His smile and tongue were worth a Prince's ransom to him. He had a wonderful knack of being agreeable; as to being useful, that was of no consequence—He set up a school for smiling, and his pupils might there learn to nod and smirk cash away from the purse. Nothing obstructed this man; all roads were river roads to him; his neighbours called him the smoothing plane, he removed all asperities.—But all was "false and hollow." He plained away the rough planks of life it is true, but he kept the shavings himself. The man was selfish and his favor was deceitful.
I saw lately a morose wretch with a book in his hand. His urchin form reminded me of a gnarly crab apple, at once misshapen and sour; the leaves he turned over were Sterne's, and his cheeks were moistened by the death of Le Fever. How, whispered I, can this man boast sensibility: I know him well a grinder of poverty's face—who understands distress and false, better than a deputy sheriff; this is he who drives away the cottager's cow, and plucks from under her the widow's bed.—I paused; and reflection convinced me that his was a mechanical and crocodile grief, that though he wept, he could wound, and that his favor was deceitful.
Thomas Paine, that infidel in religion, and that visionary in politics, seduces many of you my countrymen. You may read his "Age of Reason," and think the bible a last years Almanac: You read his "Rights of Man," and think government slavery, and Washington an imposter. But the man who labors to destroy the pious hope or to raise the ferment of faction is an enemy to your peace. Be your devotions and your government equally undisturbed: Attendance at church, at least, preserves your neatness and sociability, Obedience to the government causes you to sit in peace under the Fig tree. Trust me, he who jeers received truths, or who tells you, there is no distinction among men, and that all are equally qualified to govern, is an imposter more pernicious than Mahomet, and his favor is deceitful.
THE LAY PREACHER.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sitting of September 1.
Monnoy, in the name of the committee of public safety and finance, said,
"The moment is arrived, when you can suppress, without danger, that institution of Robespierre, which, after the revolutionary tribunal, has done the most mischief.—I speak of the committee of subsist of subsistence." Applaudes.
"Neither policy nor prudence will permit it longer to exist. It is necessary to replace this commission in such a manner, that the provisioning of Paris, and of our army and navy, should no longer suffer. The radical fault of this institution was, that each of its agents made an advantage proportional to his purchases. They were of course interested to multiply the latter for the purpose of augmenting their fortunes."
"The National Convention suppresses the commission of provision. The agency which furnishes Paris shall alone continue in its functions, under the immediate superintendence of the committees of finance."
"The treasury shall pay no draft from that commission unless it has been signed by the committees of public welfare and finances."
A violent discussion arose upon the dilapidations committed by the agents of the commissions of provisions.
Barra—"It is not to the committees of government, but to the committees of provisions, that we owe the famine which has so long tormented us. It is that committee which has sent its armies of brigands throughout the republic. It has made government to pay at the rate of 3000 livres the sack, for that which cost them but 1600. He concluded by demanding, that the committee should be put in a state of arrestation, and that commissaries should be appointed from the bosom of the Convention, to examine into their conduct."
Le Hardy supported the proposition, and said, that he should give proper information of the proceedings of the committee, and of their connection with the bakers of Paris.
After a long debate it was decreed, that the united committees should present for the approbation of the convention, five citizens, to form an extraordinary, to examine into the markets and purchases made by the commission and agents of subsistence.
Sitting of September 2.
Several addresses against refractory priests were read.
A commune of the department of the Seine informed the Convention, that the royalists were in great number, and wished to shed the blood of the patriots. Citizens of the commune of Langres stated, that these priests preached royalism openly in the fields; that they menaced with eternal damnation the parents of the young men of the first requisition, if they did not recall their children; and they prohibited, under the same penalty, the use of republican money, under the pretence that it was made of the metal of church bells and church plate. Referred to the committee of public safety.
Lefage, of Eure and Loire, communicated to the Convention several manoeuvres of the monopolists. "At Chateaudun, (laid he) corn only sold for 188 livres the quintal; at Chartres for 600 the double quintal, before the arrival of the agents of the commission of subsistence; but those miscreants soon contrived to raise the price to 3400 livres, and afterwards to 6000 livres. I move that I may be permitted to present the plan of a decree on this subject to-morrow noon." Granted.
The section of Le Pelletier appeared at the bar, and presented a petition similar to which were before presented by the sections of the Mail and the Champs Elisées. The petitioners remonstrated with great vigour and energy against the establishment of a camp in the vicinity of Paris, with a view to influence the elections, and overawe the voice of the people—they protested also against the plan adopted by the Convention, for perpetuating their own power, by compelling their representatives to elect two thirds of them to be members of the legislative body. They likewise observed, that great numbers of the Terrorists had lately been set at liberty.
Chenier, the President, in reply, said—"Citizens who seek to separate you from your brethren in the armies, are the very men who come to this bar to tell you, that the colours of patriotism are the banners of terror; who formerly demanded the dismissal of the republican army, with the same ardour as was displayed by the constitutional assembly, when they required the dismissal of the troops employed by despotism. If some guilty men have been released, there are tribunals which will punish criminal acts, though not exaggerated opinions. The National Convention will never enter into any composition with assassins; it devotes to public execration the horrible scenes of the 2d of September, and it will ever celebrate the anniversaries of the 14th of July, the 10th of August, and the 9th Thermidor. It will not suffer its last sittings to be degraded."

NANTZ, Sept. 8.
The following happy intelligence from our colonies was lately communicated to the Convention by Defermont, in the name of the committee of public safety.
BY the corvette L'Heureuse Nouvelle, we have informed you of the successes of the arms of the republic. It affords us particular pleasure to announce you that victory follows continually the tri-coloured standard.
You know already by our former accounts, that the English have retreated to the fort of St. Lucia, the Gibraltar of the West Indies, but they were not able to hold out against the impetuous valour of republicans.
Gros Ilet, Le Morne, La Vigie, and the battery of Eustache, forming the key of the fortifications raised at Morne Fortune, were carried at the
point of the bayonet, and as soon as every thing was prepared for a general assault the enemy thought it advisable to evacuate the fort, and fled on board their squadron, leaving all their property, even their wives and children, behind.
What during the American war a Bonille, a D'Estang, and a Loewendal, were unable to effect, tho' they had 10,000 men at their command, and were supported by twenty ships of the line,—has been executed by a handful of republicans led on by our colleague Goyraud, and having nothing to oppose the formidable fleet of the enemy but their invincible courage, and a few small vessels carrying three pounders.
You may assure the Convention that we do strain every nerve in order to annihilate the British.—They have never in any war suffered such heavy losses as they now encounter in their islands. They are perfectly convinced, that if you send us some succours, however trifling they may be, all their colonies will be successively lost without their having the least hopes of devising means to save them. Terror is among them, and they sigh for peace, as the only means by which they may hope to be extricated out of a labyrinth of dangers.
We cannot forget to give you an account of our expeditions by sea, which to this very hour have been executed with the greatest possible success, in spite of the immense superiority of the British fleet. The winter season drew near, and we could not expect the least succours from Europe; we resolved therefore to try our best by hazarding with prudence our small naval forces. Our small vessels were employed for carrying troops, provisions, and ammunition, to St. Lucia, and the other invaded Islands. We determined to form three divisions of our ships of force, and give them orders to cruise in such quarters, that the English, considering the superiority of their own forces, could never have thought it possible to meet them so near their Islands.
The station of the frigate l'Hercule, la Thetis, and la Concord, and the corvette le Brutus, was off the Island of Barbadoes. The corvette le Decius, and the sloop la Revolution, were ordered to cruise to windward of Antigua. The flute le Marfouin, accompanied by the corvettes la Republique and le Sansculotte, were stationed between Porto-rico and St. Thomas's.
After a cruise of 45 days, rear-admiral Leflesques, who commanded the first division, returned, having made eleven English prizes, ten of which arrived safe in port, and one was sunk.
Several of these ships were freighted on account of the King of England, and provided us with objects we stood most in want of; one ship contained 87,000 weight of excellent powder, 12 field-pieces, 4 howitzers, a considerable train of heavy artillery, mortars, bombs, balls, in short, every thing necessary for the establishment of an arsenal. The other ships contained tents, shirts, medicines, and dry goods, to a considerable amount.
The corvette le Decius returned also with five English prizes, forming part of the same convoy as the former, four arrived safe in port, and one was sunk. Their cargo consists also of different goods we are most in want of.
As for the division of Le Marfouin, whose station is at a considerable distance, and her cruise not yet terminated, we are not able to give you an account of her exploits. We know only that one of her prizes is arrived at St. Eustatia. We hope that the committee will be able to judge of the prudence of these operations by the enclosed instructions—No. 1, which we have given to the commanders. Our plan has been crowned with success, notwithstanding the expressed aversion of some of our seamen to put out to sea, whilst the English had such an immense superiority afloat.
We estimate the whole stores alone, which have been found on board the prizes, and deposited in the national arsenals, at three hundred thousand dollars; this will enable us to provide St. Domingo with powder. The committee of public safety may rest assured, that our solicitude will always extend beyond the limits of our nation, for the interest of the republic. General Laveaux having demanded ammunition from us, we hasten to supply his wants, and send you a copy of the letter we write to him: Health and fraternity, VICTOR HUGUES, LE BAS.
Defermont announced besides, that the number of English prisoners made since the recapture of Guadaloupe, exceeded by far the whole number of the Republicans, who had so often conquered the British, and performed so many wonders in the Islands. He announced also, that the magazines of the Republic at Guadaloupe and St. Lucia, were filled with colonial products, which Vict. Hugues intended sending to France with the first opportunity.
At St. Lucia, the Republicans captured 125 English merchantmen, and an immense quantity of colonial products and merchandise. On account of the loyalty displayed by the inhabitants of St. Lucia, the Convention decreed, That this Island shall in future be called Lucie la Fidèle.

A HINT FOR COASTERS.
AN old experienced Pilot tells us that in sailing up the channel for Nantucket light-house, on flood tide, we should head at least a point northward of the course of the channel for the first four leagues as the tide sets across the channel and will heave a vessel on to the south shoals—after the first four leagues the east end of Martha's Vineyard takes the rake of the tide, and the vessel may lay up the course of the channel.

SCHENECTADY, Oct. 3.
At a meeting of the board of Trustees of Union College upon the 29th of September last, it was resolved, that the Rev. John B. Smith, of Philadelphia, elected President of the College at a former Board, be informed, that the College is established and he be requested to remove to Schenectady as soon as he can find it convenient.—The Trustees appointed a senior and junior Tutor, arranged the classes and different studies, formed laws and regulations for the future government of the college—appointed a committee to immediately purchase books and a philosophical apparatus for the use of the College. The Board have also nominated John Taylor, the senior tutor, to take charge of the business of the College, until the President shall arrive. The public is informed that the business of the College will commence upon the 19th of October current; at which time, attendance will be given by the faculty and committee of Trustees, for that purpose, appointed to examine and admit, into different classes, such young gentlemen as may offer as students in the College. The Latin and English schools in the Academy, will still be continued, their business will commence upon the 12th of October current.

BALTIMORE, November 9.
Yesterday arrived the brig Rover, Capt. Smith, in six weeks from Gibraltar, by whom we have received the important and long wished for intelligence of a PEACE between the United States and the regency of Algiers. Dispatches for our Executive containing an account of the negotiation, Capt. Smith lodged in the post-office yesterday.—By him we also have the very important news, of a declaration of WAR by the Algerines against Great-Britain. This intelligence was not the mere report of the day, but was received by our Consul at Gibraltar, in a letter from Capt. O'Brian at Malaga, where he has resided since his release from slavery at Algiers, and where he was when Captain Smith left Gibraltar.
The news of the day at Gibraltar was, an approaching war between Great Britain and Spain, which was predicted by politicians, and eagerly wished for by the officers of the garrison and navy. Every preparation was making for such an event, and ten regiments were daily expected, to garrison the rock, on which had lately been erected several new works, and the old ones completely repaired.
It does not appear that Muley Suliman has been driven by his brother from his capital; but he had laid siege to the town of Tetuan with an army of 50,000 mountaineers, and a determination to reduce the place, but it was supposed at Gibraltar that he would be obliged to relinquish his undertaking, as the garrison consisted of 80,000 men. Mr. Simpson was in the place on his way from Morocco, at the time, and it was with no small difficulty he made his escape out.
A convoy with nearly 200 sail, left Gibraltar the day before captain Smith, which he fell in with again, and the day after heard a very heavy firing off Cape St. Vincent, the course they were shaping when he left them.
Oct. 25, lat. 6, 39, spoke a Schooner from Liverpool, (N. S.) bound to Antigua, out 22 days.
Oct. 27, lat. 21, 15, long. 63, 30, spoke the brig Ann, of and from Philadelphia, 15 days out.
Oct. 29, lat. 31, 10, spoke a brig from Philadelphia, for Trinidad, going full before the wind—could not learn particulars.
Off the Capes was boarded by a British frigate, another frigate, a sloop of war, and a brig in light. Yesterday morning, off Patuxent, spoke the ship Sarah, captain Conyngam, beating down.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1795.
MARRIED. On Tuesday last, at Friends Meeting, JOHN HALLOWELL, Esq. of this city, Attorney at Law, to Miss REBECCA PARKER, of Peel Hall, county of Philadelphia.
The following is an extract from the return for Senator, of the District composed of the counties Bucks Chester and Montgomery.
"We do certify, that at a meeting of a number of the judges of the district composed of the counties of Bucks, Chester and Montgomery, convened at the court house in the county of Montgomery; and after taking the amount of the votes from each county for each candidate balloted for; do declare Zebulon Potts, Esq. to be lawfully elected Senator for the said District by the number of two thousand five hundred and eighty four votes." N. B. The above is a true extract from the original return, officially signed by the judges, &c. Oct. 21st, 1795.
Letter from Mr. Randolph.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7 Nov. 7, 1795.
SIR,
AS you have lately struck off the statements, which are to precede my general letter of vindication, and are in possession of a considerable part of that letter; you are at liberty to say, that the whole will be shortly published. The intercepted letter of Mr. Fauchet, upon which the slanders have been propagated, consists of many pages, and is not confined to a single subject, as has been supposed; but it was necessary, in explaining the paragraphs which involve me, to review most of the important acts of the executive from the beginning of the year 1794 to the time of my resignation. All the papers belonging to them, among which was a very essential one, I did not receive until the 22d ult. But I am this moment informed, that a translation of that letter, which I expected from a particular quarter, is unattainable, and that I must have that branch of the work executed myself. Unaided by a copyist, and interrupted by the business, preparatory to my return to Virginia, I could not be as expeditious, as my friends and myself wished. But they may be assured, that there has been, and will be, no hesitation or delay, which
will not appear unavoidable. The remainder of the general letter will be copied, and the translation will be completed, as soon as possible, and forwarded to you.
I am, Sir,
Your humble Servant,
EDM. RANDOLPH.

From the London Gazette.
Mr. Stoddard, by giving the following short Essay, a place in your paper you will oblige a friend.
It frequently happens, that men by designing the worst of evils, have unintentionally effected the greatest good; while plotting their country's ruin, have evidently saved it from destruction. This truth is surprisingly illustrated, in the conduct of the disorganizers of the present day. While endeavouring, to depress in the esteem of the people, our mild system of administration, they have by their virulence and impetuosity, exhibited in a clearer light than was ever before seen, its beauty and energy. They have evinced to the world, that a mild government, composed of equal laws and impartially administered, can give security, when governments of apparently greater force and efficacy, have been convulsed in pieces by its treasonable factions. We have seen the stability of our government, in avoiding the calamities of a war, into which, from the restless disposition of many of our citizens, we were in imminent danger of falling, and from which few of the European nations have been able to refrain themselves.
By this, our constitution has become more dear to us, and the love for our patriots, whose hearts failed them not, when attacked with the most illiberal abuse, and who defended this country's good amidst the violence of rebellion, has been doubly increased. As beauty appears more desirable when contrasted with deformity, so has our government shone with distinguished excellence, by being opposed to the dark intrigues of faction. By the number of its opposers it has gained fresh dignity, and by the violence of the opposition new energy and lustre.
Had faction never reared its head among us, we never should have been so sensible of the benefits of liberty and order: had our government met with no opposition; had there been nothing to intercept its progress, we might have slept in idle indifference and suffered our rights to be imperceptibly impaired, till roused by some fatal catastrophe, too late to avoid the pangs of dissolution.
