The Yellow Fever, it is positively asser- ted, has had no existence in New York, but in the brain of an Irish Doctor, who has dreamed the same dream already four times this season—It would be a curious if it were not a melancholy, consideration that the enlightened Public of this enlightened coun- try yielded up themselves, their judgements, and understandings with scandalous frequency and readiness to the most ridiculous influ- ences—We have long been patriot ridden and mob ridden, and now we are effectually Doctor ridden.

At the election for Governor of Penn- sylvania, the Jacobins, by way of recom- mending M'Kean, told the PEOPLE through the Aurora that Mr. M'Kean be- longed to the same Church as Mr. Adams! —Why are we not told to what Church Mr. Jefferson belongs.

A gentleman lately arrived from the Mouth of the Ohio, informs, that the In- dians from the Missouri country reported in April and May last, that their mountains had not been covered with snow all the last winter; and as a proof of the truth of their report they predicted there would be no rise of the waters of the Mississippi this year.— We infer this paragraph with the hope that some persons from New Orleans will tell us whether the freights on the Mississippi at that place have this summer been less than usual.

Sweet sensibility! to every charm, 'Tis thou can'st added energy impart, 'Tis thou bestow'st all the awakened glow The moral polish of the human heart. In vain may Beauty boast the form'd form Her eyes with but unmeaning lustre roll; 'Till thou dost give, the finely pointed charm That links, retitles, to the feeling soul.
A FAVORITE  BEER-HOUSE SONG,
Sung by Lloyd in consequence of a late quar- rel between Him and Duane.
To the tune of Allay Croaker. THERE came a fancy Irishman, from somewhere near Killarney, A scurvy cunning Jacobin, and very full of blar- ney Long had he fought, for an office and a pension; And tho' this Paddy, never had, for one the least pretension, He cry'd arrah! bless your lovely face my pretty Tom M'Kean O! Och! can't you give a little place to coaxing Will Duane O. He kiss'd poor Benny Bache's wife, he lied for Coxe and Dallas Till by the rules of honesty, he well deserved the gallows; He fed our pliant lawyers to put off each fair Trial; Thus tho' fifty he was sued—yet still he did de- lity all; O! was not an arch knave, this cunning Will Duane O, To dupe both law and justice too, as well as Tom M'Kean O. George Washington he call'd a Knave, the President a Rogue, Sir, And treated every honest man, as if he had the brogue, Sir, Hamilton, and Harper, Chase, Pickering, and then O, Blodget, Abercrombie, Allen, Linn and Fenno, O, was not he a graceless rogue, thus lying Will Duane O To dupe both law and justice too, as well as Tom M'Kean O. Come all United Irishmen, distracted and de- ranging, Who'd blow up all the universe just for the sake of changing; O'Gallatin, O'Devlin, O'Guzzlegin O'Blane- ney, There's room for all such rogues as you in lovely Pennsylvania. Ask what you will your wishes all you surely may obtain O, For Mac has made a favorite of graceless Will Duane, O.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-
Jersey, to his friend in this city. "From the most accurate calculations which we have been able to make, it is re- duced almost to a certainty, that a large ma- jority of our next legislature will be federal, consequently Mr. Jefferson will have no votes in New-Jersey. His partisans are making however, every exertion, and if the grossest misrepresentations, and the most despicable means of obtaining votes for him can ensure success, they must yet succeed for nothing is too low for them to stoop to— nothing too infamous for them to do. Every artifice, every lie, every base insinuation against the government is seized by those good republicans with avidity, but in vain; a majority of the people of the United States are right; and will vote for."
THE POLITICAL CONVERSION.
No. II.
"Twenty Gods or no God" (muttered, I as I went to supper.) "twenty Gods, or no God," surely my friend Worthy must be mistaken, for I cannot believe that Thomas Jefferson, "the man of the people," the meek, charitable, and upright Jefferson, on whose character the highest encomium, are lavished by Duane, and on whom we Democrats, rest our greatest hope, could have ever dared to make such an assertion; no! no, it is impossible, I place too implicit a faith in the representations of the Aurora, to believe this; phaw, it is only a fabrication of the Feds, and "I'll none of it." By this time I had arrived at my house, and found my wife impatiently waiting my coming; this was fairly demonstrated by her informing me, the tea was cold, that she wondered how I could stay so long &c. "Twenty Gods or no God" (muttered I setting down to the table,) it is no such thing, it cannot be, and yet Worthy's "here's your tea my dear" said my wife—"phaw" said I "I don't want any" and pushed the Tea from me, but unluckily down fell the cup and saucer, upon the floor, and the Tea upon my small-clothes. Now, whether it was from the force of the push, or that the table was not large enough, I can't say, but this, I know, that I was very soon awaken- ed from by reverie, both by the pain I felt, from the scalding of the tea, and the clamour, and scolding of my wife, who by the bye, had lost one of her best cups and saucers.— "Yes" cried the "rising from the table, "this comes of your confounded airs, I know very well you've been talking, your polysyllables to some one or other, here now is a set entirely!" "Hush my dear" cried I picking up the pieces, "Hush, I'll replace the loss, by half a dozen new ones to- morrow." Instantly was my wife's counte- nance altered, the lowering frown upon her brow was now exchanged, for that gracious smile, which she wore when I first saw her. I will not have the reader (if any I have) believe, that we are often troubled with these little fracas; no, no we live very hap- pily together, and to do my wife justice when- ever they do happen, it is my fault. To re- turn.—For the life of me, I could not get Worthy's assertions out of my head, I sat down, I got up, I walked about, I went to bed, all would not do, there was no thinking of any thing else. Perhaps the reader may be surpri- zed that a man of my situation in life, should be so wholly intent upon the business of the nation, and in that way neglect my own private concerns. There are some people, Mr. Reader, who pay more attention to their neighbours' business than their own— perhaps I may be one of them. There are others, Sir, who do not approve of having an Atheist for their Chief Magistrate, of that class am I, and I candidly confess that my feelings were greatly excited when the thing was mentioned. I to be sure, am a little of a politician, but I never let politics interfere with my business, except on this occasion. By my own assiduity and by my readings in the Aurora, have I become a politician, and if you will have a little pa- tience I will inform you how I have become a politician of the right sort. "But why this digression?" It is your own fault, Sir, I am only satisfying your doubts, and endea- vouring to prove to you, that what I relate is not of the "marvellous." To proceed then. No sleep could I get all that night; "If this be true," says I, "if Jefferson be an Atheist, I'll immediately abandon the party, I'll disown"—"Do my dear hold your tongue and lay still," cried my wife, "I can't get a wink of sleep for you." At length the day broke, I rose up, went to my shop, and began my work, but I did more mischief than good, for so intent was I upon Jefferson's religious principles, that for the soul of me I could not make a slice to fit a horse. Thus the day passed, until about 4 o'clock, when I perceived Worthy coming towards the shop; I was just then shaping a piece of hot iron while my apprentice was holding it. In my joy, I let the hammer fall, it fell upon the iron, and down fell both upon the poor boy's toes, but for- tunately did him no material injury. "You have come at last" cried I, running up to Worthy, "now prove to me that Jeff- erson is an Atheist, now display to me the wicked plots and abandoned projects of the Jacobin party, now—" "Softly neighbour" said he "do not be too hasty, I will perform my promise—and so will I, Mr. Editor in my next number, which shall be sent you with convenient dispatch. DICK VULCAN.
Extra of a letter from the Supercargo of the
brig Louisa, captain M'Jett, of this port,  dated. "Caribagena, July 30, 1800.
"I arrived here on the 26th ult. after a passage of 30 days from the Cape, in company with the United States brig Norfolk, and brig Maria, capt. Conyngham. On the 19th ult. in lat. 18, 48. N. the island of St. Martins bearing S. by W. about 8 leagues distant, at 2 P. M. saw a Schooner bearing down upon us, which pro- ved to be a French privateer of 14 guns, & at least 120 men; We all immediately short- ened sail and prepared for action, but capt. Calvert hailed and ordered us to make sail and keep our course, with which we compli- ed, till we saw him round to and lay his main-top sail to the mail, when we did the same. The Frenchman was at this time within about half gun shot of us, when he hoisted his colours and fired a gun. When he got so near as that we could distinctly plainly every person on board prepared for boarding, with their shirt sleeves rolled up The Norfolk fired to him, four or five broadsides; at length they were along side

of each other at the distance of pistol shot, when a smart engagement ensued, which lasted about ten minutes, during which time the Norfolk fired at least fifteen rounds of all different kinds of shot that are used in a vessel of war, besides about 300 muskets and I have no doubt that the Frenchman lost 50 men or upwards. He got away at last by hauling upon a wind; we all however chased him 3 or 4 hours, and the brig Louisa got so near as to fire shot over him. His mainstay and jib stays were shot away, but he soon replaced them. The Louisa was expected to sail for this port late in August.
From the Salem Gazette.
To a people highly virtuous, the privilege of electing their own rulers is a blessing above all estimation; for it will secure wise and virtuous men in the administration of the public affairs. Such a people will never regard with indifference this sacred right, nor neglect their duty of exercising it, honestly and conscientiously, at the stated periods. Passion will not be suffered to interfere in so important a transaction, in which a single vote may affect the happiness of millions; and their votes will be the result of a serious and deliberate consideration of the effect they may produce. — Of a candidate offered for their suffrages they will solicitously inquire — Is he a man whose talents and information will enable him to discharge the duties of the office to which he is nominated and whose virtue will ensure the application of them to the public good? — Has he on all occasions supported and defended the Government, instituted by the people, against the calumny of its enemies; and encouraged those around him to lead quiet and peaceable lives under it? And such a character they will adopt into their service. But if they seek in vain for these qualifications — if, instead of general and extensive information, they find a mind contracted, by an ardent pursuit of private gain, to a space too narrow to give play to the ideas of a statesman — if his gloomy vision is bounded by the imperfections attached to all human things; if on all occasions, with affected candour, he is heard to doubt the policy of the measures, and question the upright intentions of government; if he is observed to cultivate a close connection with those turbulent spirits, who are eternally railing against the lawful authority that is set over them; and if, above all, he is brought forward and supported by exotic as well as native malcontents, who hate all law and rule, and who see nothing but tyranny and oppression in those institutions which restrain them from wantonly destroying men's characters, or breaking their bonds; however loudly he may boast of his superior intelligence, patriotism, and care of the people's rights, to such a man a virtuous people will never commit their interests.

NEW YORK, September 13. To the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser.
His Majesty's ship Andromache, Halifax, September 3, 1800.
Sir, I have observed in your paper (the Mercantile Advertiser) of the 22d August, an article of information from Captain Parsons, of the schooner Fox, from Charleston, August 8, stating that on his passage from Cape François, under convoy of the United States frigate Constellation, Captain Talbot on the 30th July, an En list ship came into the fleet, sent his boat on board the Commander, afterwards made sail and stood to the westward. "We learnt from the Commander," says he, "that she was called the Andromache from Halifax. The English frigate requested the Commander to permit him to overhaul the fleet; but he would not permit him."
As the last paragraph is so notorious a falsehood (as I conceive) only to depreciate the character of a British Officer in the eyes of the ignorant and uninformed; as I can hardly believe any others would give credit to it, as the whole world must have learnt that the British Navy will do its duty on all occasions; I request you will take the earliest opportunity to contradict it; and I am certain that Captain Talbot, so far from having given the information your paper mentions, if he had been the above mentioned paragraph, feeling as an officer must do, whose character is at stake, by such villainous and dangerous misrepresentations, would himself have desired you to contradict it. I had no cause to have wished to overhall any of the convoy, as Captain Talbot, in a very proper manner, was so well acquainted with the vessels under his charge, that he assured the Lieutenant of the ship, whom I sent on board for that purpose, that, upon his honour, they were all belonging to subjects of the United States, and carrying no property belonging to the enemies of Great Britain; that he was well acquainted with the owners and others concerned in every one of them. After such an assurance from Captain Talbot, who appeared to act in the most honourable manner, I could have no cause to doubt his word, nor with to delay him one moment longer by claiming the right of powers at war, of examining all neutral vessels according to the practice and laws of all nations, more especially coming from an enemy's port. I have already wrote to Captain Talbot; and beg you will take the earliest opportunity, and most public, to attend to my request; and should it have appeared in other newspapers, that the Editors of such may also contradict it.
I am, Sir, yours, &c. ROBERT LAURIE. Captain of his Britannia Majesty's ship the Andromache.
[The paragraph to which the officer of his Britannia Majesty alludes originated at Charleston, and was copied into the Mercantile Advertiser, from a paper in that city of the 28th August. It was connected with some other information of an important nature to ship-owners and underwriters, and we should have considered ourselves highly culpable had any part of it been suppressed. We assure Captain Laurie that we felt much less pleasure in recording the circumstance which honoured us with his correspondence, than we do at having an opportunity, on his authority, of giving it this positive and unequivocal contradiction.] N.

FEDERAL MEETING. AT a meeting of the Inhabitants of the County of Gloucester, at the Court-House in Woodbury, pursuant to Public Notice given for that purpose, on the 11th day of September, 1800: — The following Townships were represented, viz. — Waterford, Newton, Gloucester-Town, Gloucester-Township, Deptford, Greenwich and Woolwich. James Hopkins, Esq., was chosen Chairman, and Joseph Griffith, Secretary.
THE Committee appointed on the 9th of August last, to prepare an Address to the Inhabitants of this County, expressive of the sentiments of said meeting, having made report, which being read, was unanimously adopted. Whereupon, Ordered, That five hundred copies of the said Report be printed and dispersed throughout the different parts of this County; — and that John Blackwood and Joseph Hugg, Esqrs. and James Hurley, be a Committee for that purpose.
The meeting being informed that there are six Federal Candidates in nomination for the General Assembly, to be voted for at the ensuing Election; and deliberately considering the importance of union as well as perseverance among the Federalists of the County, do agree — That a committee of two persons from each Township be appointed, who shall have full power and authority to select from the six Federal Candidates, such three persons whom in their opinion they would recommend to the Inhabitants of this County, as the most proper characters to unite the people thereof; and to secure to us a federal representation. A committee was accordingly appointed, who having retired, some time after returned, and made the following Report: — "THE Committee having taken into consideration the list of nomination of Candidates to be voted for at the ensuing Election, do report unanimously — That in their opinion the following Ticket will be most likely to unite the Federal interest in this County: — Counsellor. Thomas Clark. Assembly. Samuel W. Harrison, Abel Clement, Samuel French. Sheriff. Joseph Hugg. Corrers. John Piffant, Duncan Campbell, Micajah Clement."
"The said committee do therefore recommend the above Ticket to their fellow citizens." DAVID DAVIS, Chairman. Which being read, was unanimously adopted. Whereupon — Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, it is the real interest, and they take it to be the duty of all good men in the county of Gloucester, to come forward and give their aid and support to the foregoing Ticket, as being the one best calculated to preserve unto us the inestimable blessings of peace, order, and good government, and a continuance of our present excellent Federal Constitution. Resolved, That we do absolutely disavow the principles contained in certain publications of James Sloan and Jeremiah Wood, wherein they declare — That a change of government, a change of Men, and a change of Measures ought to take place — The effect of which, we solemnly believe, would subvert our true interests, destroy the real happiness we experience under our present mild and salutary general government; and eventually introduce among us all the direful attendants on disorder, anarchy and confusion. Resolved, That two hundred copies of the proceedings be printed in hand-bills, and the same be published in the "Trenton Federalist," and "The Gazette of the United States." JAMES HOPKINS, Chairman. JOSEPH GRIFFITH, Sec'y.
