LONDON, March 17.
"At a meeting of the Roman Catholics in Dublin, on the 27th of February last, they agreed to an address to Mr. Grattan, thanking him for the services he had rendered them; and expressing their grief at the loss of his departure from power. To this Mr. Grattan has returned a very energetic answer, which, as it tends to throw some light on the existing disputes between the British Cabinet and Earl Fitzwilliam, we state at length."
"In supporting you, I support the Protestants; we have but one interest and one honor; and whoever gives privileges to you, gives vigor to all. The Protestant already begins to perceive it; a late attack has rallied the scattered spirits of the country from the folly of religious schism to the recollection of national honor, and a nation's feuds are lost in a nation's resentment. Your emancipation must pass; rely on it, your emancipation must pass; it may be dealt to one viceroy; it will be the peace offering to another; and the laurel may be torn from the dead brow of one Governor to be castly converted into the olive of his successor."
"Let me advise you by no means to postpone the consideration of your fortunes till after the war; rather let Britain receive the benefit of your zeal during the exigency which demands it, and you yourselves, while you are fighting to preserve the blessings of a constitution, have really and bona fide those blessings. My wish is that you should be free now. There is no other policy which is not low and little. Let us at once instantly embrace, and greatly emancipate. On this principle I mean to introduce your bill, with your permission, immediately after the recess. You are pleased to speak of the confidence and power with which, for a moment, I was supposed to have been possessed. When his Majesty's Ministers were pleased to resort to our support, they took us with the incumbrance of our reputation, and with all our debts and mortgage, which we owed to our country. To have accepted a share of confidence and councils without a view to private advantage, will not meet, I hope, with the disapprobation of my country; but to have accepted that share without any view to public advantage, would have been refinement on the folly of ambition. Measures, therefore, public measures and arrangements, and that which is now disputed, were stipulated by us; were promised in one quarter, and with assurances they were not resisted in another."
"In the service of Government, under his Excellency's administration, we directed our attention to two great objects, the kingdom and the empire. We obtained certain beneficial laws; the discovery and reformation of certain abuses, and were in progress to reform more; we obtained a great force, and a great supply, with the consent and confidence of the people. These were not the measures of Courtiers; they were the measures of Ministers."
"His Excellency Lord Fitzwilliam may boast that he offered to the empire the affections of millions, a better aid to the war than his enemies can furnish, who have forfeited those affections, and put themselves in their place."
"So decidedly have the measures of Ireland served the Empire, that those who were concerned in them might appeal from the cabinets of the British Cabinet to the sense of the British nation. I know of no cause afforded for the displeasure of the English Cabinet; but if services done to Ireland are crimes which cannot be atoned for by exertions for the Empire, I must lament the gloomy prospects of both kingdoms, and receive a discharge from the service of government, as the only honour an English Minister can confer on an Irish subject. I conceive the continuance of Lord Fitzwilliam as necessary for the prosperity of this kingdom; his firm integrity is formed to correct, his mild manners to reconcile, and his private example to discountenance, a progress of vulgar and rapid pollution; if he is to retire, I condole with my country; for myself, the pangs on that occasion, I should feel, on rendering up my small portion of Ministerial breath, would be little, were it not for those gloomy prospects afforded by those dreadful guardians which are likely to succeed. I tremble at the return to power of your old task-master—that a combination which galled the country with its tyranny, insulted her by its rapacity, and slandered her by its malice; should such a combination at once inclined, as it must be now by the favor of the British court, and by the reprobation of the Irish people, return to power. I have no hesitation to say that they will extinguish Ireland, or Ireland must remove them: it is not your case only, but that of the nation. I find the country already committed in the struggle. I beg to be committed along with her, and to abide the issues of her fortunes."
"I should have expected that there had been a wisdom and faith in some quarter of another country, that would have prevented such a catastrophe; but I know it is no proof of that wisdom to make the taxes, continue the abuses, damp the zeal, and dash away the affections of so important a Member of the Empire as the people of Ireland; and when this country came forward, cordial and confident, with the offering of her treasure and blood, and resolute to stand or fall with the British nation, it is, I say, no proof of wisdom or generosity, to select that moment to plant a dagger in her heart. But, whatsoever shall be the event, I will adhere to her interests to the last moment of my life."
POLAND.
The Empress of Russia has assigned 50000 sequins to the king of Poland, and
assured him besides of her protection; for the old tender lady seems not to forget, that Stanislaus in the vigour of youth was one of her most accomplished favourites.
A Congress will be held at Grodno, where all the ministers of foreign powers are invited to assist: Prussian troops will shortly march to take possession of that place, in consequence of the late treaty agreed on by the three partitioning powers.
According to what has already transpired of the final treaty, Poland will be divided as follows:
PRUSSIA,
The country which lies on the left bank of the Vistula and Niemen, and on the right bank of the river Bog, which contains besides South Prussia, the Palatinates of Sandomirz, Cracow, Podlachia, and part of the Palatinate of Trokie and Mazovia, with the cities of Warfaw and Cracow.
The lot of AUSTRIA comprehends all the territory extending from the right bank of the Vistula to the borders of the river Bog: It comprises the whole palatinates of Chelm and Lublin, the remaining part of Malovia, and besides some districts of Volhnia which lie contiguous to the kingdom of Galicia.
RUSSIA
Will have all the rest of Poland, which will take up his residence at Peterburgh; at least it is certain, that the Empress has got a palace prepared for his reception in that city.
The Gazette of Warfaw is filled with names of persons lately arrested for having taken part in the revolution. Many who voted for a capitulation are now bitterly repenting for having confided in the promises of Crowned Despots.
MADRID, Feb. 18.
Nothing material has occurred in Catalonia since the loss of Rosas. The evacuation of that place would have been conducted without disorder, if a panic had not seized part of the garrison, and thrown every thing into confusion, which the French happily did not perceive. The garrison, except from three to four hundred men left to deceive the enemy, joined the Spanish army encamped near Fer to defend the passage.
Count d'Ururai, the new General, engages to stop the progress of the French, if the 20, or 25,000 Catalan militia are regimented before Spring. That this operation will be effected with the necessary celerity is very doubtful: and we have already proved by experience, that militia, however brave, cannot always be depended upon.
Biscay and Navarre appear to more exposed even than Catalonia. Gen. Count de Colomera, and the Duke d'Ossana, the second in command, are come hither to concert means of defence with the Cabinet. Disease has made great havoc in the Spanish armies. There are no fewer than from 14 to 15,000 men in the hospitals. The ordinary means of recruiting are slow and insufficient: and we dare not resort to the French mode.
Notwithstanding this state of things, our Cabinet, that is to say, Alcedia the favorite, persists in continuing the war, and is every day disgracing some member or other of the Administration, for presuming to distrust the wisdom of his politics. The grand efforts and sincere concurrence expected of the allies, seem to be the foundations on which our rulers build their hopes. They keep the nation in the most profound ignorance of foreign affairs, and deceive even themselves with respect to the intentions of other powers, whose interests are not the same as ours.
N. B. The above is the substance of several letters, none of which mention the reported capture of four French Frigates in the Mediterranean, by the Spanish fleet. They add that the Spaniards were assured, the French would not be able to penetrate into Holland, because they had been completely defeated in three attempts, to cross the Waal.
STATE PAPER.
The Emperor's Decree of Commission to the Diet of Ratisbon, respecting the motion of Peace, was delivered to the Diet, Feb. 14.
This morning the long waited imperial decree of commission was at last presented to the Diet, dated Ratisbon, February 10, concerning the business of the present war of the empire, and the proposition which had been made for negotiating a peace.
The introduction to this decree, contains brief statements of the causes of the hostilities, and the views of the declaration of war made by the empire by means of a former Conclusion of the diet. The same statements contain the late opinions of the diet for putting an end to this war of the empire against France, which were copied literally into the decree of the imperial commission.
It then states the following important discussion:
QUESTION.
"Whether it was to be wished to restore tranquility to this country, by means of a speedy peace?"
This question is easily answered, in comparing the great distresses of the country by this unexampled war, with the sweet enjoyments of a mild peace.
If it is considered what great sacrifices his imperial majesty has made, his expenses amounting to so many millions of money, and the number of troops brought into the field for these three last campaigns for the purpose of defending the empire against the enemy, it is impossible to doubt that after these great sacrifices for the benefit of the empire, and the favors his majesty has already bestowed upon it, and which have been thankfully acknowledged by the diet; that his majesty would not also add to these favors that of procuring the speediest restoration of peace, if it were not for the many obstacles which the circumstances seem to oppose against the execution of the latter measure, and the numerous difficulties attached to that wished for object, namely, the obtaining a solid peace.
The late diet which issued the conclusion on this subject, it is much to be regretted, have not investigated it with that due consideration which so important a subject requires.
Considering the present state of the war and from the relations in which his imperial majesty stands to the empire, as being its chief, whose duty it is to manifest his fatherly care and love for the distressed states, and to watch over the safety and welfare of the empire in general; it would have been very satisfactory to his imperial majesty, if the assembly of the diet had pointed out of what the future, just, honorable, and happy peace was to consist; particularly since the electors, princes and states have thought it consistent with the present situation of affairs, with the present position of the German empire, and with the general welfare of all, to bring this proposition for a peace publicly into the proceedings of the assembly of diets, and consequently considered this public transaction to be the best means of attaining the object of their wishes, namely, the establishment of a negotiation for peace, they ought at the same time, and with the same candor, to have declared certain general points upon which either the preliminaries, or the peace itself were to be founded.
His imperial majesty, however, is far from the intention of representing the wishes of the diet as unattainable, or in any manner, very difficult; nor does he wish to prolong the execution of the subject in the conclusion, until the general opinion of the diet shall have pointed out the manner in which it is to be effected; but on the contrary, his majesty is determined to take every opportunity to second the views of the diet and the states in general.
What is mentioned in the conclusion of the diet respecting a suspension of hostilities, has his complete approbation; and his majesty should think it the greatest happiness, if he could succeed in procuring such a suspension of hostilities, which he looks upon as an act of benevolence he owes to the empire.
It however remains very doubtful, whether, in the midst of their career of a successful war, the enemy would be inclined to enter into a negotiation for peace merely from regret or repentance of having been the cause of the sufferings undergone by the people of these countries. It is therefore of the utmost necessity for all the powers of the empire to strain every nerve in order to prepare for defence against next campaign. His imperial majesty thinks the more his duty to exhort the states to the most zealous exertions for the preparations for next campaign, as, according to resolutions taken by the diet on the 28th of October, it was determined that the first of February is to be the last term in which the increase of forces and armaments were to be furnished to the commander general of the united army of the empire for the opening of the next campaign; and particularly as the proposals for peace seem in some manner to have caused the zeal of the states to be slackened with regard to the contributions for the armament. His imperial majesty therefore conjures, in the name of God, and in the face of the country, all the states of the empire not to be lulled to sleep by such distant hopes of peace, but to fulfil their patriotic duties in their whole extent, and particularly to enforce the execution of the decree of his imperial majesty of the 1st of June last, respecting the arming of the vassals in the different villages, and the forming of militia in every district or town, in order that consistency and union may direct the continuation of the present war. That the patriotic princes of the empire, whose dominions are situated within the circles most exposed to the enemy, should be supported and assisted by the other states, whose territories lie farther in the interior of Germany, to be enabled, in consequence of the whole empire and its vassals to be furnished with artillery, ammunition, small arms, and other requisites of war. His imperial majesty conjures all the states of the empire to remember that extraordinary circumstances always require extraordinary measures, and that the greatest exertions should be made to defend the state; to remember that the internal resources of Germany are not yet exhausted; that it is impossible to conquer an enemy, if nothing is opposed but a sinking spirit, which of all things will the least induce the enemy to enter upon just, reasonable, and moderate terms of negotiation, and that it is much better to oppose the most energetic resistance to every unfortunate occurrence of the war, than to sign the disgrace of Germany, and the overthrow of the constitution of its empire, at the bottom of a treaty of peace.
Ratisbon, Feb. 10th, 1793.
(Signatum) CHARLES, Prince of Tour and Taxis, (L. S.) Minister Plenipotentiary.
NEW-YORK, May 14.
If men are forever influenced by a regard to their own private good, what becomes of the fine stories we are told about merit, patriotism and virtue.
The truth is, the question all depends on a correct definition of the words,
self interest, public interest, patriotism and merit.
Private interest rightly understood not only is in fact, but OUGHT TO BE, the great moving principle of human actions. It is the very constitution of our natures and of society that require this principle to be the main spring of action, in all concerns of a public and private nature. It is the virtue principally enjoined on us by reason and revelation: and it is the regard to our own real interest, to which the prohibitions and injunctions of scripture are applied, and on which they depend for success and effect. The promises and the denunciations of scripture are all enforced by considerations of private good to be obtained or private evil to be avoided.
All the difficulty of adjusting this theory to principle, consists in the mistakes which are made, in explaining this private interest. If a man speculates to injure his neighbor, this is never for his interest, for if money is gained, reputation is lost.
That is real interest, which steadily looks to the welfare, happiness or advantage of the individual, without the least injury to society—noble ends by honest means. But I maintain that the most noble end is our own real advantage and happiness. This being the principal end, our next object is to advance the happiness of society, as far as possible, without a sacrifice of our own.
The opinions of the world will illustrate this doctrine. In public estimation, the steady pursuit of private good, when not injurious to society, is highly honorable. The pursuit of private good, at the expense of society or by base means, is always reprobated by the world. The first is the pursuit of real interest—the last of a mistaken one. Public opinion is a censor in such cases which seldom errs. And what confirms this doctrine is, that a man who neglects his own business to assist others, except in extreme emergencies, is never highly esteemed. I have known many men of this description, who would leave their families to distress and want, who yet were always ready to assist others; they were the most obliging men in existence; yet were always despised.
Let not my readers censure the boldness of these doctrines—The world has long been amused with idle theories—and there has been a perpetual contradiction between principle and fact —between the doctrines of the moralist and the real state of things.
It is of infinite consequence to the legislator to know the springs of actions in mens hearts; for most fatal mistakes have often been made in legislation, by erroneously calculating on disinterested zeal for public good, on good intentions on purity of heart; when in fact such things have not existed. Such errors are most frequent in Republics and they are the sources of every species of public mischief. France has been brought to the brink of ruin by relying on patriotism: and America can furnish numberless Robespierres in Miniature.
To remedy the evil, we must first be convinced that it exists; and if Americans will set out with the principle, "that all men are aiming at their own benefit, and that the great art of legislation consists in making it the interest of individuals to maintain the laws and advance the public prosperity," we shall be able to give a beauty and a duration to our system of government, which the world never before saw.
Will these opinions be denounced as anti-republican? It matters not; truth is truth, and will finally make its way.
The doctrine of private interest is the main pillar of Republicanism. The very essence of a republican government is dividing the public interest into shares for every individual citizen; thus creating a private interest in every member of the body politic.
In this manner, a Republic is preserved, by the private interest which each citizen has in the public, and the more industrious he is and attentive to that interest, the more valuable the citizen.
Were the doctrine of disinterested benevolence and patriotism well founded, monarchies and the feudal countries would be the proper theater for the exercise of those heroic virtues; for the subjects, not having much interest of their own to protect, would have little to do, but to defend and to advance the interest of the prince and his nobles.
The real fact is, that private interest and social are the same. The ordinary means of serving the public, are, to attend diligently to our own occupations. So that the principle of real interest when closely followed, ends in true patriotism.
REMARKS
Of Editor Baen on the foregoing.
Editor Webster of New-York is exerting his talents as a writer to prove to his readers that the virtue known under the
appellation of patriotism is imaginary—a mere phantasm. We are willing to allow that he is sincere in the doctrine he preaches; but his ipse dixit is not to overturn all those well authenticated instances of the practice of that sublime virtue recorded in the historic page. That it is possible to resolve that virtue into a motive which may be called self-interest we are willing to allow; though not that forsooth, selfish passion commonly termed self-interest, but a pure impulse known only to virtuous minds which prompts them to virtuous actions for the satisfaction that attends the doing good. Into a motive of this sort the exercise of every virtue may be resolved, even charity, of all others perhaps the most pure, may be said to be exercised to gratify the agreeable feelings which must flow from having relieved distress; but is this nice discrimination to warrant the assertion that this virtue is but a phantasm? Such a doctrine strikes at the root of every virtue, and destroys the line between virtue and vice.
What is the difference between the virtuous man and he that is not? It is that very sentiment which impels to the observance of the virtues which the Editor Webster degrades by the appellation of self-interest. This sentiment is to the former a sufficient incitement to their practice; while the latter devoid of it, will search for self-gratification in actions which promise another kind of enjoyment, often at the expense of his neighbor, an enjoyment which the first cannot participate in, owing to those sentiments and feelings which are not only the germ of every virtue but which cause vice, and whatever is even remotely allied to it, to be held in abhorrence.
Whether, however, that self-interest, which is not the spring to virtue, be not the predominant passion among men is another question which may involve some doubt; and therefore it may be doubtful whether laws and human institutions should not be calculated upon it as a basis; but surely no laws can be so framed as not to be evaded by men actuated by it; while that pure impulse to virtuous deeds—the existence of which our Editor has struck out of his list of motives, by absolutely declaring patriotism a non-entity, deserves to be nourished, as the best safeguard of political liberty and happiness and of the laws.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, May 18.
Yesterday afternoon arrived here in 40 days from Greenock, the ship Amsterdam Packet, Capt. Martin. The London papers by her are to the 28th March, with which the Editor has been very obligingly favoured. Such materials as require publicity, shall be more fully detailed in future gazettes.
Though there is nothing in the papers that requires extraordinary exertion, yet the Editor will barely give a sketch of that which appears worthy of notice. In the COURIER of March 26, it is said,
That accounts have been received in town that the transports, and other vessels which were on their voyage to bring away the British Infantry from the Continent, have been dispersed in a gale of wind: some of them have put into Hull, and other ports in the North of England; but many have not yet been heard of.
That Mr. Fox's speech, on Tuesday, astonished even those who have been in the constant habit of attending for years to the speeches of that great man. A speech more replete with incontrovertible argument—more various and profound in its reasoning; more comprehensive in its range—and more clear and luminous in its arrangement, never came from the mouth of man.
That Mr. Pitt's speech, on the day of Mr. Fox's motion, was the worst he ever made; it was incoherent and impudent; haughty, without being dignified; and dogmatical, without any attempt at argument or proof.
That there are Paris papers in town of the 10th, 11th, and 12th instant. They make no mention of a decree of accusation having passed against Barrere and his accomplices.
In the SUN of same date, it is said, That Earl Fitzwilliam does not seem in a hurry to return to England.
That there were 15,000 soldiers marched into Brest about 3 weeks before the above date, and are said to be destined to the West-Indies or the Cape of Good Hope.
That a vast number of flat-bottomed boats are at Brest, as well as other seaports, intended, it is said, for an expedition in the summer.
That ten sail of the line were detached from the French fleet while at sea, on a secret expedition, whose destination is kept a profound secret.
That a convoy was required for the Packets between Yarmouth and Cruxhaven. The answer of the Admiralty was, that no ships could be spared from more important services.
In the TELEGRAPH, of March 28, it is said,
That Earl Camden left London the day before to take upon him the arduous office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He bears with him the secret instructions of Mr. Pitt.
In the Chronicle of the 28th March, it is said,
That the Dutch Commissioners left London yesterday evening, on their return to Holland. We understand that none of the objects of their mission was accomplished; and that all discussion on the nature of these objects, was pre-

cluded by a direct refusal on the part of our government to recognize the authority from which the commissioners derived their powers.
That there is a squadron of six sail of the line, and another of eight frigates, now on a cruise from Brest.
[Copied from a late Glasgow Paper.] Upon New Year's Day, three hundred and seven children employed by David Dale Esq. at his Cotton Mills, New Lanark distinguished from the rest of the hands by the name of boarders, that is provided by him with meat, clothes, schooling, &c. walked in procession preceded by music, from thence to the town of Lanark, where they drew up at the cross, amid a vast number of spectators, and were saluted by the ringing of the bells—a bowl of punch being provided, was drunk in health to the Magistrates and Burgh of Lanark, and prosperity to the Works at New Lanark: they then returned to the Mills, where dinner was immediately served up to them, after which they all removed to a large hall, where they enjoyed the day in dancing and conviviality. The day being favorable, they made a fine appearance. The boys were dressed in blue clothes, with leather caps, ornamented with fur, and the girls in white mullins, and black hats. This sight never fails to excite the most agreeable sensations in all, who have an opportunity of seeing so great a number of Orphans, so comfortably provided for, and by industry, rendered useful to themselves and their country. And it will give general satisfaction to the public to hear, that of 309, the number (of that description of workers) in all, 307 were in high health and spirits, nor has there been a death since the 2d June, 1793. The above fact is sufficient to prove that cotton mills are not prejudicial to health. Indeed, ever since the commencement of this manufactory, the number of ick and deaths, have been far below the ordinary proportion.
Capt. Lindsay, arrived here yesterday in 14 days from Montserrat, informs us, that the French were in entire possession of the island of St. Lucia, except one fort, in which the British had a strong garrison: he says, that the day before he sailed, a vessel arrived at Montserrat from Martinique, the Captain of which reported, that a severe action had taken place at St. Lucia, between the Republicans and British troops, in which the latter were beaten, and driven back to the fort with great slaughter.
Capt. L. also says, that while he lay in Montserrat, two British ships of 74 and 64 guns, arrived there, the Lieutenant of one of which informed capt. L. that they had been cruising off Guadalupe to stop the sailing of any vessels from that place, notwithstanding which a fleet of 11 sail of transports, and a sloop of war sprung out of Point Petre, and escaped their vigilance; and that they had been cruising for them to leeward some days to no purpose.
Capt. L. supposed the above fleet must have gone to take possession of St. Eustatius, as news had arrived at Montserrat of its surrender to the republicans. Last evening the ship Amsterdam Packet, captain Martin, arrived at this port from Grenada, in Scotland, from whence he sailed on the 1st of April, with 40 odd passengers in good health, chiefly mechanics and farmers, who seek an asylum of peace and liberty.
The brig Ranger, capt. Colby, also arrived yesterday in 52 days from Dublin.
London papers are received to the 28th of March, but do not contain anything of great importance. From these, and verbal intelligence of passengers, we have been enabled to state—That there had been no accounts from the continent in 14 days; that the account of the execution of Barrere, &c. was contradicted; that those of a Prussian, and a Spanish separate peace with France, were also severally considered as premature; that the embargo on British vessels was still enforced with such vigilance that not one British vessel had gone out of port since its commencement; notwithstanding which, there appeared no manner of probability that the minister would be able to obtain even the one half of the 20,000 seamen for the fleet; that the people of property throughout Scotland had been deputized constables, and presented with a sacred billet of wood by government, of about four feet, for the purpose of making prisoners of treasonous balbers, rioters, &c. and the more effectually to carry into effect their system of TERROR. [Greenleaf's Argus.]
This day a number of the republican citizens of New-York, under military honors, are to erect a superb (carved) LIBERTY CAP at the Tontine Coffee House, in lieu of the less elegant one lately taken down from thence.
The Semillante, a frigate of the republic of France, sailed from this port yesterday, supposed with dispatches from the French minister.
We have this day presented our readers with some important European papers, which throw much light on the present disposition of the powers at war. No certain prediction can be pronounced
on the events or arrangements of the ensuing campaign. The arrangements were in cabinet at the date of our last advices. Certain it is, that all parties are exhausted and impoverished—money and provisions become scarce with them all, and necessity makes them all with for peace; but the TERMS must be a matter of vast difficulty. One great point however seems to be obtained; That is, both parties have abandoned the conditions at first assumed. The exhausted powers no longer insist on the restoration of monarchy in France; and France no longer insists, that she will treat with no crowned heads. The intention of both parties was wrong and an insuperable objection to peace. The combined powers had no right to prescribe a form of government for France; and France had no right to attempt revolutions in other countries. Nothing is more sacred than national independence; and an attempt to proselyte men by force to political opinions, is as intolerant and wicked, as to force men to change their religious creed.
BALTIMORE, May 16.
Arrived yesterday, 14 days from Bermuda the brig Harriot, captain Thompson, who informs us that a few days before he failed, the Schooner Abeona, Capt. Martin, of Baltimore, was captured by a Bermudian privateer and carried into that port.
The ship London Packet, Smith, was to sail for this port in a few days.
The Abeona, it was supposed, would experience the benefit of the interlocutory decree, and suffer but a short detention.
Touched at Petit Guave, where the following vessels were lying, waiting on the administration for their pay, viz. Schooner Voluptas, captain Wilson, Brig Isabella, Greene, and Schooner Shepherd, Wilson.
Last evening arrived the ships Beckey captain Wales, and Republican, capt. Simpson, from London. We have not been able to learn the precise day on which those vessels left London, but we are informed that the Beckey failed two days after the other. She brings papers no later than the 21st March, but as they are on the party opposite to those received at New-York, we observe several articles unnoticed in the papers of that city, which we shall, in due time, lay before our readers—one in particular, is, a contradiction of the defeat of the French in Rouillon.
NEW-YORK, May 15.
THE remarks already published, concerning the main principle of human actions are but preparatory to a most important conclusion, which is, that the preference of republican government over all other forms is derived from the union of interest between the governors and governed, which is created by this form of Constitution. Freedom and frequency of elections, good sense in the citizens, knowledge of rights, checks and balances, powers of impeachment and punishment, and all the forms and apparatus of government, tend to this one point, and derive their efficacy and value from this consideration, that they contribute to preserve this principle in its purity.
The security which the subjects of a republican constitution have against the vices of those, who are entrusted with power, is that it is generally the interest of the public functionaries to make good laws and execute them with wisdom and integrity. The Legislator is himself with all his family, connections and estate, subject to the laws he enacts for other citizens. In this respect, the nation or state has the strongest of all holds upon the Legislator's industry, and virtue, in investigating the fitness of public-measures, and in adopting what are most for the public good. The interest of the Legislator himself is a pledge of his fidelity. Extend the principle further; and we find his reputation, also is another pledge; for the man is responsible in point of fame or public estimation. Reputation however may be considered as a branch of his interest.
With respect to executive officers, the public have a similar hold on their fidelity. The man who administers the laws, is not only subject to dismissal from office or to punishment for malfeasance, but he is responsible in point of reputation. In short it is his interest to govern with justice, moderation, and impartiality.
Thus then Republicanism is founded in self-interest—in other words, it derives its excellence from uniting private interest with public good. It is the close alliance of principles of public duty with an attachment to individual advantage.
Not to the virtue of Montesquieu, nor the boasted patriotism of a French revolutionist are we to look for a preservation of liberty and equality, in any free governments; the virtue of the ancients, was mere temporary enthusiasm, or martial bravery, which was useful only in war; and the last the patriotism, of the French, has the most of it ended in deception—it has been and always will be a mask for the vices and ambition of petty tyrants.
The great point then to be kept uniformly in view in a republic, is to preserve this union of private with public interest. It is the very circumstance which distinguishes a free government, from a despotic one, that in the former, every
man has an interest at stake, the safety of which depends on the safety of the interest of his fellow citizens; whereas in a despotic country, a great portion of the people have no permanent interest, no certain good of which they can be secure, and that not being united to the government by private interest, they either neglect both public and private duties, or what is worse, commence plunderers of the public. This is the reason why, in free countries, men are less vicious, less thievish and more industrious, than in averse, than in a state of slavery: the difference is wholly resolvable into private interest, for the hearts of men are naturally alike.
The foregoing remarks furnish an explanation of the causes of all the calamities which have befallen republics and especially France. In very few republics, has the Constitution provided such checks as to restrain the ambition of aspiring men; and when any citizen rises to a point of elevation, which gives him a prospect of establishing an interest for himself, detached or opposed to that of his fellow-citizens, he will bend every thing to his private views, and the public interest is sacrificed.
Of this description, were Sylla, Marius, Caesar and others in Rome! Cromwell in England; Robespierre and multitudes of others in France.
In this manner what are called Republics, are often susceptible of a most arbitrary administration of government. The pursuit of private interest in consistency with the public good is a most laudable conduct; but so violent is the impulse of passion, that no man ought ever to be left without restraints on his passions, which may always keep them from overleaping these bounds. A republican left unfettered by such restraints, is as dangerous as a monarch, in proportion to the sphere in which he acts; and seldom indeed has it happened that pro-consuls, provincial governors, judges, commissaries or agents, vested with discretionary powers, have not been as tyrannical as any monarch or emperor. Nor has it been found that the delegates of republics, have been less oppressive, than the officers of monarchies. The pro-consuls and questors of Rome and the commissaries of France, have been as tyrannical masters, as the governors and judges of Spain and England.
Hence the necessity of the strong and controlling power of law to repress and punish all abuses of power. People seem, in these times to think that to get rid of slavery, they have only to get rid of a monarch, a stadtholder, or nobles. Hence the hofannak's song about French and Dutch Liberty; when in fact both France and Holland have a hundred tyrants where they had one before. The committees who abound in every village, are so many petty despots, who abuse their powers, oppress the people, and have in two years laid waste the finest country in Europe.
PHILADELPHIA, May 19.
A CAUTION.
A correspondent wishes to guard the citizens against a gang of robbers who now infest this city, and who as a prelude to future depredations are now busily and successfully stealing the keys from doors. He and several persons of his acquaintance have already been robbed of theirs; he would therefore recommend to each citizen to keep his key in a safe place in the day time, and especially in the evening.
A young Frenchman lately lost his life in New-Jersey, by heroically leaping into a river to rescue a young woman, a Miss Denike, who had fallen in; the young woman was also drowned. We have not learnt the name of this truly benevolent foreigner.
"Marble or brass devouring time may waste, But deeds like this shall time itself outlast."
Mr. Ricketts has built a Circus in Boston, where he and his company are now exhibiting.
THEATRE—May 19th, 1795.
IT was with infinite satisfaction we saw the benefit of our favorite, CHALMERS, was last night attended by so brilliant and crowded an audience: it was at once a compliment to him and to themselves; being a certain proof of his superior merit, and their discernment. The entertainments were judiciously chosen and respectably performed.
Mr. Moreton's night was announced from the stage for to-morrow evening. Mrs. Cowley's excellent Comedy of "The Bold Stroke for a Husband," with the very laughable Farce of "Hob in the Well," (both novelties on this Theatre) will undoubtedly attract the lovers of the drama: but, exclusive of that attraction, we are certain Mr. Moreton's own merit will sufficiently interest the liberal citizens of Philadelphia in his behalf: his unremitting and successful endeavors to please, have insured the good will and respect of all who have ever witnessed his performances.
DIED—At Exeter, (N. H.) the 21st of April, in the 76th year of his age, the Hon. JOHN PHILLIPS, L.L.D.
Having at an early period finished his collegiate education, and having for some time prosecuted the study of Divinity, his favorite profession, the state of his health obliged him afterwards to relinquish it, he turned his attention to merchandize. Thro'
the smiles of providence upon his industry in business, he acquired an ample fortune; the greater part of which he bestowed, some time since, in Charity.
Of the PHILLIPS' Exeter Academy, the best endowed institution of the kind, perhaps, in the United States, he was the Sole Founder. To the PHILLIPS' Academy at Andover he has at different periods made liberal donations. A large proportion of these funds, in both institutions he appropriated to the education of indigent scholars, whose genius, application, and dispositions promise Public Usefulness. He has at different periods, made such donations to Dartmouth College, as place his name first on the list of its Benefactors—such as will always render his memory dear to the sons of science.
He died without issue; but, he shall have "a name better than of sons and daughters,"—thousands, educated by his bounty, "shall," successively, "rise up and call him blessed." Eagle.
From the Aurora.
The following questions published in a Paris paper of Feb. 3, throw some light on the morality of the pretended Saint Marat: what is mentioned of his private life is literally true: a short time before he died, he maintained three common prostitutes, one of whom he called his wife.
"WHAT is the reason that Marat was thought worthy of the Pantheon? Was it as a friend of humanity? He had demanded the death of 25000:—Carrier immolated a small number, and was guillotined. Was it as an honest man? He took on his private authority three printing-presses with brass plates from the national printing-office in the Louvre, and appropriated them with every thing necessary to put them in motion to himself. Was it as an incorruptible legislator? He accepted to our knowledge a bribe of 15000 livres, from Philippe D'Orleans. Was it as a pattern of good morality? He lived publicly with common prostitutes, who had already delivered him to the hand of death when the dagger of Charlotte Corday saved him some days agonies. Was it as a republican? In his projected constitution, printed by Buillon, he says, "that none but a monarchical government could suit France, and that even if she should chuse another one she ought to adhere to monarchy."
The republic of Geneva, that gave birth to one J. Paul Marat, may also boast of having produced a number of virtuous and distinguished citizens; among others the celebrated philosopher J. J. Rousseau.

BOOKS. PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No. 113, Market Street.
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.] Extracts from the Critical Reviews, April 1795, p. 468. It may be a tale of truth, or it is not un- natural, and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity. Of the regularity of her former conduct, is evi- denced from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the incon- sistency of her lover, and treachery of his friend,—The situations are artfully and affecting—the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pu- nishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed. 2. The Inquisitor —By Mrs. Rowson. 2- nd Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents 3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols 1 dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper—1 dollar and 75 cents, fine. 4. Notes on the State of Virginia —By Thomas Jefferson. Price, neatly bound, one dollar and a half. 5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censureable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own princi- ples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—they love liberty as En- glish whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which a noble cause is endangered and disgraced. In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of being this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dilate the clouds of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12. “We have certainly derived much plea- sure, and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in events which have so justly excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind.”

Will be received at the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue, For Building a LIGHT HOUSE, On Saguin Island, near the mouth of Kenne- beck river, on the coast of the District of Maine; of the following Materials, Di- mensions and Description. THE form is to be an Octagon. The foun- dation is to be of stone, to be sunk, if prac- ticable, thirteen feet below the bottom of the wooden work, or twelve feet and an half be- low the surface of the earth, and to be com- menced of the diameter of twenty seven feet. It is to be laid solidly to the height of two feet. From thence to the bottom of the wood- en work, the foundation wall is to be eleven feet high, and six feet thick. As it is intended that the above described stone foundation shall only be carried six inches higher than the crown level of the knoll or rock on which the Light-house is to be erected, and it may be found impossible, on account of the rock, to sink the fame to the depth of twelve feet and one half below the earth, or thirteen feet below the wooden work, it is necessary that the propositions for the said stone foundation be made by the perch to include all costs, charges and expences of materials, workmanship and labor. The octagonal pyramid is to be well fram- ed, and of stout heart timber. It is to be twenty seven feet in diameter at the base thereof where it will rest on the top of the stone foundation, to which it is to be well secured by sixteen iron truss built therein and otherwise. The height of the wooden build- ing from the bottom of the water table, and from the surface of the earth, is to be forty feet to the top of the wooden work, under the floor of the lantern; where the diameter is to be fifteen feet. The foundation is to be capped with sawed stone at least eight inches wide, and sloped at top to turn off the water. The frame of the pyramid is to be cover- ed with boards of one inch and one half in thickness, over which is to be laid a good & complete covering of shingles, and well painted with three coats. The light house is to have two windows in the East, and two win- dows in the West. The sashes are to be hung with hinges, and each sash is to have eight panes of glass, eight by ten inches. On the top of the wooden work of the pyramid is to be a strong framed tier of joists, beded therein, planked over with oak plank extending one foot beyond the sides of the pyramid, thereby forming an eave, which is to be finished by a cornice, the whole hav- ing a descent from the center, sufficient to throw off the water, and to be covered with copper. A complete and sufficient iron lantern in the octagonal form is to rest thereon; the eight corner pieces or stanchions of which are to be well secured to the upright timbers of the pyramid, or to the tier of joists, or both. These stanchions are to be very strong and stout in the lower ten feet, and three and one-half inches by two and one-half inches a- bove. The lantern is to be ten feet high, from the floor to the bottom of the dome or roof, and to have a dome or roof of five feet in height. The whole space between the poles to be occupied by the sashes, which are to be moulded on the inside and struck solid. Each sash is to have twenty-eight large panes of glass; a part of the sash on the south-west side is to be hung with hinges for a door to go out on the platform. The iron rafters of the lantern are to be framed into an iron hoop, over which is to be a copper funnel;— thru' which the smoke may pass into a large copper ventilator in the form of a man's head; capable of containing one hundred gallons. This head is to be turned by a large vane, so that the hole for venting the smoke may be always to leeward. Eight dormant ventilators are to be fixed in the roof, a large curved air pipe is to be passed thro' the floor and a close stove is to be provided and fixed in the lantern. There are to be four pairs of stairs to ascend to the lantern, the entrance to which is to be by a trap door covered with copper. The building is to be furnished with two complete electrical conductors or rods with points. The floors are to be laid with plank. The entrance into the light house is to be well se- cured by a strong door hung upon hinges with a strong lock and latch complete. Also a frame Dwelling House of one story and the roof, to be twenty six feet or there- about in front, and twenty five feet deep, with a cellar, under it, it shall be found practi- cable to dig it. The cellar walls to be eight- een inches thick, and seven feet high. The story of the House to be seven feet and one half in clear height. The roof to have a rectangu- lar pitch. The floors to be laid in whole lengths nailed through. The House is to contain a Kitchen of thirteen by sixteen feet, a sitting room adjoining, lengthwise of twelve by sixteen feet, two small chambers of eight by nine feet join to the ends of the Kitchen and sitting room, with a passage to those two rooms between the bed rooms. The stack of chimneys to be between the Kitchen and sit- ting room and is to have two plain fireplaces, one of them large for a kitchen; to which is to be joined an Oven.
