TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.
The Epigram on the "Great Law Chief," who sent an order to England for a Wig, like Mansfield's, is poetical and pungent; but an offensive word in the last line precludes its insertion. If the author will contrive to purify his verse of that stain, we will then find a corner for his Muse.
The point of "Tit for Tat" is not sufficiently sharp. We think that the archer must have a better arrow, in his quiver. An Epigram must possess great acuteness; else, it is a hurtless weapon, and its satire,
"Like a wildgoose flies, Unclaim'd of any man."
To the "Elegiac Lines, on Miss H. Cooper," from the pen of "E," we have already given a prompt insertion. They are evidently the production of a lady, and her modest confession that "her pen is unpractised in the rules of art," and her bodied fears of a rejection are both superfluous. The Editor is always partial to the effusions of tenderness and "fond remembrances" and listens eagerly to the voice of Friendship and "Charity, which is kind." Of the unfortunate young Lady, the subject of her private and poetical sorrows it may be said, as by the tender COLLINS, on a similar occasion,
When howling winds and beating rain In tempests shake the sylvan cell, Or mid the chace on every plain The tender thought on thee shall dwell. The genial meads, affig'd to bliss, Thy life, shall mourn thy early doom; There hinds, and shepherd girls shall dress, With simple bands, thy rural tomb.
"MANLIUS," the first of a projected series of Political Essays, is received. We wish that the author would send us another motto, or give us leave to expunge the present. We have no Greek characters among our office materials, and if we had, still a quotation from the language of Athens is both awkward and useless in an American newspaper. In a popular vehicle, even in Europe, where Greek literature is most successfully cultivated, quotations from that language are now generally omitted as favouring of ostentation, and as useless to the mass of mere Gazette readers. But, in this new country, where among one thousand subscribers to a Journal not more than one is versed in the phrase of PLATO, to quote a passage from that philosopher, is like quoting from the vocabulary of the Chinese, or from the Targum and Talmud. We would recommend to "MANLIUS" to select a motto from the True Indian , or the choice phrase book of Noah Webster; but to avoid Greek by all means. Our education is two narrow, our views two torpid, to permit us to be profoundly skilled in the boneyed phrase of Tully, or the liquid language of Asia Minor. We have more pedlars, than scholars. A MATHEW and a PORSON cannot breathe in our gross Jacobin element; and neither Dr. PARR, nor G. BERT Wakefield follow their friend PRIESTLEY to the forests of Northumberland.
OBSERVATIONS on the religious and political character of Dr. PRIESTLEY shall be inserted on an early day. The author will be always welcomed by the Editor of this Gazette. Whatever subject, or whatever style this author may assume, his productions shall always command our care. For we are sure that a man honest, and a politician correct and sober will select no themes, but such as are wholesome to his country; and we are likewise confident that a man of reading, taste and judgment will employ no style, but the pure and the chaste.
Remarks on the late African Insurrections are elegantly and forcibly written. They contain the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We hope that the deluded South will take warning from these beginnings of St. Domingo atrocity. The apprehension of Gabriel figures to Virginia a temporary repose from midnight alarms and domestic treason. But while the fiery Hotspurs of the State vociferate their French babble of the natural equality of man, the insulted negro will be constantly stimulated to cast away his cords, and to sharpen his pike.
"An Impartial Test" is a well written Essay,—it is this day published.
"Truth" is worthy of the signature, but the piece has been acutely mangled. We will thank the author for a fairer draught.
"AMERICANUS" or the Detector of Galatin's false Arithmatic, appears this day.
His periphrastic reasoning, confounds the Jacobins, who, like the devils in Milton, cluster round their chief and form a feeble rampart to protect the Jesuit Genevan.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
AN IMPARTIAL TEST, Most respectfully dedicated to the Governor and his Jacobin Friends.
AS his Excellency Thomas McKean Esq. Governor of Pennsylvania, has, in his memorable reply to the Senate, admitted, that for the discreet exercise of his power of removing, and appointing officers, he is responsible to his Constituents through the medium of Elections; and as he also said, that if his appointments are judged by an Impartial Test, he will be entitled to approbation, rather than censure, it is the object of the present inquiry to establish an impartial test, and then to apply it to his appointments, and removals. But previous to entering upon the discussion, I must take the liberty of correcting one of his Excellency's expressions. Conceiving himself probably, as merely the Governor of a party, or rather the Governor for a party, (it being very problematical, whether he Governs it, or if he does, he holds himself only responsible to his constituents,—That is I presume his Jacobin Friends . It would however, in my opinion, with great deference to his Excellency's superior wisdom, have been more accurate, as well as more Republican , to have used the word People , instead of Constituents . For even admitting that the votes, which made him Chief Magistrate, were all unbiased, yet he might have recollected, that there are above Thirty-five thousand Electors in the State, that can with no propriety be denominated his Constituents, however the wisdom, and virtue of his administration, may operate to their future conversion.
And now for our impartial test! In obtaining this desideratum, the merit to be derived from a membership in the Jacobin Party, must certainly be excluded; for our test cannot be impartial, if the prevailing party spirit has any thing to do with it. This principle being established, the only merit of the political kind, which can be taken into our account, as common to both sides, must be, either that which arises from the share, which the officers themselves, or their families, may have had in establishing the Independence of America. A blessing which "all appreciate, and love" in the patriotic words of Messrs Dallas, Coxe, and Co. or that which proceeds from attachment, and respect to the General and State Constitutions,—"to the genuine principles of our Republican Institutions," as his Excellency expresses it.
This statement, I take to be perfectly fair and candid. Nor can it be called a begging of the question, since at present, there are no Antifederalists, the very name being considered as opprobrious by the persons, who bore it, and being exchanged for that of Republicans. But should there remain the shadow of a doubt with respect to Federalism, being comprehended in his Excellency's idea of an impartial test, it must vanish, when we turn to the publications of the Jacobin Committee, before the Election, and advert to their encomiums on the Federal Constitution, and the Federalism of the Jacobin Candidate,—when we recur to Citizen Barton's eulogium, where among his other proofs, and Illustrations, he shews us that the Doctor of Laws, had both a head and a hand, in the ratification of the Constitution, and above all, when we reflect that the Federalism of the Jacobin Governor rose so high at that period, as to induce him to compare the Murmurs of the Antifederalists, to the working of small Beer. A fact, that can be attested by that most virtuous patriot William Findley, who, by the same token, then told the Doctor of Laws, that if he, (William) had had a son but a week in a Lawyer's office, he would whip him for being ignorant of a point of Law, which the Doctor, to the great triumph of the antis, and equal dismay of Federalists, really appeared to have forgotten, or never to have known.
Having thus established the political part of our test, let us proceed to the selection of the remaining ingredients. And these must relate either to capacity, (his Excellency having always been extremely rigid on this point, and long before he was thought of Governor, having repeatedly declared, that the office of Prothonotary required a law-education,) to general integrity, and independence of conduct. It is true, his Excellency does insinuate something in favor of rotation in office; but when it is considered that some of the oldest officers are continued, that he himself has been willing to hold the station of Chief Justice, for five and twenty years, and would not have scrupled to have held it as much longer, had his friends failed in effecting his promotion, and it should be the will of Heaven, so long to defer the final reward of his virtues, we are not to suppose him serious in this suggestion, or that least all contemplated its adoption, in the impartial test. Neither do I think it would be quite fair, as his Excellency is a man "of infinite jest" and in the habit of sporting opinions, to hold him too tenaciously to his denunciation of "the proflitutors of official influence to party-purposes." No man, as Sterne observes, likes to have his virtues made the sport of contingencies; and although his Excellency could not tolerate such conduct in a subordinate officer, and an enemy, yet I am persuaded, he would willingly dispense with the idea in the composition of his impartial test, whether it should be applied to himself, or his Republican friends . It may nevertheless be proper occasionally to glance at it.
Some may also suppose with his Excellency, that where a cordiality is wanting bet-
ween the principal and the subordinates, "the public interest may demand a separation." It must be confessed, that when we contemplate the triennial election of the chief magistrate, we are struck with the importance of this cordiality; but on the other hand, when we reflect upon the purity of his Excellency's republicanisin, and how much he would disdain to owe his re-election to any prostitution or even exertion of official influence, we must absolutely refuse the consideration a place in the text, and ascribe the mention of it, merely to the playful fancy we have already noticed. Besides, it never can be admitted, that the Governor would infer a want of cordiality and necessity of separation, merely from the "independent exercise of the rights of a freeman." Does he not on the contrary, speak of it with the highest applause, calling it a decorous and independent conduct, and is he not generous and charitable enough in his reply to the Senate, thus to express himself?—Though my election, says he, was opposed by all those descriptions of persons, (that is Tories, Traitors, Refugees, &c. &c. &c.) I never said, I never thought, that there was not likewise a numerous description of my opponents whose minds were actuated by the purest motives, and whose conduct has been equally decorous and independent. These crierions then, may be safely incorporated into our impartial test, as the subordinate officers of the state, have certainly an equal claim with their fellow-citizens, to be included in this numerous description of pure, decorous, and independent persons.
An idea has been taken up, that a partiality to Jacobin France, is conceived by his Excellency as a requisite for office; but as his very honorable committee has assured us, that "against France whenever she violates our neutral rights, or follows or leads, in acts of plunder and ambition, he has been and will be, unequivocally opposed;" we must without hesitation reject the supposition, and adopt its reverse, since, when has not France been guilty of these transgressions?
From the foregoing data, we are enabled to obtain an Impartial Test of the Governor's appointments and arrangements of office. Being wholly collected from his own declarations, and those of his committee and partisans, it must be allowed to be candidly framed. It will be found to consist—in exertions to establish the independence of our country, and to maintain it, especially against France; in attachment and respectful submission to the constitution and laws of the general as well as state government. In a capacity for the employment and fidelity in its execution; in general probity; in a manly and independent conduct in the exercise of the rights of a freeman; and lastly, as the governor is an unquestionable friend to the poor, we must not omit that claim to public countenance, which, in men of worth, arises from the circumstance of their not being wealthy.
Examine this test Republicans , and see if it be not an impartial one! With your approbation we will take an opportunity of applying it: though it would save me an infinite deal of trouble, would each of you be good enough to take it in his hand, and compare it with the qualifications of the persons within the sphere of his acquaintance whom it has been the pleasure of his Excellency to draw "from retirement." Such comparison cannot but highly redound to the glory of his Excellency, and to that of his election-committee, and indeed of all others, to whose exertions we are indebted for his election to the Chief Magistracy.
ONE OF THE OBLIGED.
To the Editor of the AURORA.
Dare you publish the following letter?
From the Sun of Liberty, of Aug. 20. Danbury, August 15 1800.
TO THE PUBLIC
Since writing my observations contained in a letter to the editor of the Aurora, dated the 1st, and republished in my paper No 4—and the address to the gentlemen of the town of Danbury, who signed the certificate, concerning Jonathan Robbins, I have become convinced, from further examination of the subject, that the said Jonathan Robbins was not a native of this town, nor ever resided here—and that the gentleman who so certified were not only honest and candid in giving such certificate, but certified the truth. The said publications in the aforesaid papers must therefore be considered as erroneous and incorrect.
My intention in publishing the observation in the aforesaid papers were not to reflect on the characters of those gentlemen who certified, but the inaccuracy, herein contained originated from mistake.

Dancing Academy.
MR. QUESNET, with respect informs his pupils and the public in general, that he intends opening his Academy, on Monday the 6th of October, at his new assembly room, No. 64, South Fourth Street. Mr. Quesnet is thankful to the Ladies and Gentlemen, for the liberal encouragement he has experienced every season—he was desirous for some time to meet with a gentleman of whom the character and talents, could, united together deserve the confidence of the public: deprived of such advantage, Mr. Q. has always thought proper to divide and fix the number of pupils; but this season the school can be improved one third more, having to introduce Mr. Auriol, as an assistant to him, and a person of ability. The scholars shall be attended three times a week as usual—Ladies in the morning; young Gentlemen in the afternoon; and grown Gentlemen in the evening. N. B. The first practising ball in private for the scholars, will be a few days after the opening of the school; and the first ball will be on Thursday, the 10th October next.

HARTFORD, September 29
On Thursday last was closed the session of the Circuit court of the United States, held for the district of Connecticut, in this town. Judge Cushing, in his address to the Grand Jury, pointed out the objects within their cognizance, and illustrated their duty as officers and citizens in a very impressive manner.
The case Samuel Fowler vs. Mary Linsey, and others, an action of detinue, brought for the purpose of trying the title of Connecticut to certain land lying northward of the north line of Pennsylvania, and westward of the river Tioga, (part of what is commonly called the Connecticut Gore) was heard on a plea to the jurisdiction of the court, that since the last continuance of the action, the state of Connecticut had ceded to the United States all claims to soil or jurisdiction over territory lying westward, northward and southward of those counties in Connecticut, which are bounded westward by the eastern line of the state of New-York. The cause was very ably argued by Mr. Daggett and Mr. Edwards, for the Connecticut claimants, and by Mr. Holmer and General Hamilton, in behalf of the tenants under the state of New-York. It was urged by the claimants that the court having once had cognizance of the cause, ought to proceed to final Judgment, although the place in which the detinue was alleged was not at present within the jurisdictional limits of Connecticut.
The court after much deliberation were unanimous in opinion that they could take no further cognizance of the cause. The decision in this case was also adopted in three others of a similar nature.
An armed French merchant vessel, the Schooner Peggy captured by captain Jewett, of the United States ship of war Trumbull, lately brought into New-London and libelled before the district court, was by the Judge of the district acquitted. On an appeal taken to the circuit court, and after a very full hearing the decree of the district court was reversed and the Peggy declared a lawful prize to the United States and the captors.
The decisions of the several causes that were tried during the session, manifested the learning and candour which so eminently adorned the venerable Judge who presided in the court.
Indian Queen.
THE Subscriber begs leave to inform the Public that he has taken that well-known Inn, the INDIAN QUEEN, lately kept by Mr. James Thompson, deceased, and solicits their patronage as well as the patronage of those Gentlemen who were accustomed to give it their support, assuring them that it shall be conducted on the same liberal plan which characterised it when under the superintendence of his predecessor. The house has undergone a thorough repair, and it would be needless to observe to those who know them, that the stables are, in spaciousness and convenience, unequalled in Philadelphia, and the best-prevender and attendance are always provided for horses, by the Public's obedient servant.

NOTES ON GALLATIN.
No. II.
As a republication of the report of a committee of Congress containing every essential fact, relative to the present and former state of the American debt, preceded the publication of the last essay, it can scarcely be necessary now to repeat the whole, and yet that the contrast between the genuine facts, the real TRUTHS, and the many preposterous contradictory results which have been drawn by and from Gallatin's mischievous essays, may appear in their true shape, to force conviction home to the minds of the weakest member of our republic and thus to defeat the base, the wicked intentions of Gallatin and his school of foreign and domestic villains. The foot of the accounts which passed through examination, from the treasury to the committee, from the committee to Congress, and thence to the world, is, here again repeated, viz.
Table with 3 columns: Description, Dollars, Cents. Includes entries for True amount of the National debt, 1st January, 1791, and True amount of the National debt, 1st January, 1800.
Actually diminished 3,972,878 66
I repeat that whenever an arithmetician may pretend, to have discovered an important error in the calculation of others, it is incumbent on him to prove his position by a plain and simple process, if he does not do this, he is considered either an ignoramus, a knave or a fool without further question.
Hence it will be obvious that Mr. Gallatin should have given us in two or three simple lines only, the actual foot of the debt, and its variation from that of the committee for January 1791, after this he might have added as many notes or comments as he pleased by way of displaying his fiscal ideas, whether true or false—but instead of doing this in a plain intelligible manner, which being all within the ordinary capacity of any tolerable school boy or clerk, he certainly might have done; observe, the many different results which have proceeded from the Arithmetical Farago contained in his two Pamphlets.
Each of the following items have been drawn, as a final or total result from Gallatin's SKETCH and VIEW.
Table with 3 columns: Description, Dollars, Cents. Includes entries for A list of different sums, each and all proved from Gallatin to be correct statements of the amount of the Increase of our actually diminished National Debt, and various entries for See last page of his Sketch, Ditto same page, &c., and Ditto do. 29.
By Messrs. Sayre & Bloomfield, from G. Gatin, fee address to the people of New-Jersey, 40,000,000 Dollars. By Messrs. Coxe and others per addresses and hand bills in circulation, all said to be from Gallatin, 80,000,000 Dollars. For several other statements of the same fact, all different in the Aurora, see a file of that paper for the present year, all which are said to be Gallatin's.
The following items will show that Mr. Gallatin's statements are made to prove the debt to be either 150 millions or nothing, or any thing between the two positions.
All these different statements of the whole American Debt for the same period have been taken from Gallatin's publications.
Table with 3 columns: Description, Dollars, Cents. Includes entries for A Last page of Sketch, January 7, 1790, B Last do. for same period, C View page 7, D Do. 9, E Do. 27, F Do. 28.
The following for January, 1796. G Sketch page 66, H Do. last page, I Page 65 of his Sketches. He proves that a debt due from the people to the people is not due at all, and thus the domestic debt is made nothing.
For the Debt in January 1800, see the following different statements for the same period, viz.
Table with 3 columns: Description, Dollars, Cents. Includes entries for K View page 8, L Do. 9, M Do. 62, N Do. by addition of the whole expense account of the United States, from the manner in which it is introduced by Mr. Gallatin, fee Aurora, 20th Sept.
To all this must be added, that by a principle or governing rule established by Gallatin, in page 23 of his VIEW, and also in page 65 of his SKETCH, the Domestic Debt by being due from the people of the United States to themselves, on the pure principles of a common weal, is not in fact a national burthen, but merely a moving principle, calculated to encircle the circulation only of the current coin of the country, but not to diminish the quantity thereof.

HEALTH OFFICE.
Tenth Month 2nd, 1800.
AS several reports have been industriously circulated respecting the existence of a contagious disease in this city—which is feared is believed by some, the Board of Health have used their utmost endeavours to obtain the most correct information on this interesting subject from the most respectable source as well as a visit of their committee, to such parts as were said to be infected, and can with great satisfaction inform their fellow citizens and their friends in the country, that there is no grounds for said reports, as they believe the city and liberties, is at least equal health, if not superior to any period within their knowledge, and they do pledge themselves to the public, that if there should be occasion (which at present is far from their expectation) they will immediately announce to their fellow citizens any thing of a contrary nature—their only view being to execute with fidelity and promptness the duty they owe the public—and trusting they may be believed when they say, that they know of no case of contagious or yellow fever at present in this city or liberties.

Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S  Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern parts of the United States—particularly in Baltimore, Peterburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman. DR. HAHN'S  Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.  Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.  The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and of pains in the face and neck.  Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not halt a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed. SOLD BY WM. Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17, South Second Street, And no where else, in Philadelphia. Where also may be had, Dr. Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, his Sovereign Elixir for coughs, &c.
