The immaculacy of good Queen Bess has long been the burthen of prose and rhyme in these days; but who shall equal her favorite Raleigh in description? In one of his letters he observes, "he was wont to behold her riding like Alexander, hunting like Diana, walking like Venus, the gentle wind blowing her fair hair about her pure cheeks, like a nymph; sometimes sitting in the shade like a Goddess, sometimes singing like an Angel, and sometimes playing like Orpheus. Such a model of perfection in these times would, indeed, be a wench of wax!"

A whimsical circumstance took place at one of our Theatres, during the representation of Pizarro, which considerably retarded the performance. An honest Tar in the boxes, who seemed by his dress to be a Lieutenant in the service, conceived such an antipathy to the character of Pizarro, that when the latter was expressing his design of revenge to Alonzo, the gallant son of Neptune could not refrain his feelings, but called, "Oh! you damnd rascal," repeatedly, with great violence. The surroundings attempted to keep him quiet, with the usual threat of turn him out. The Tar, however, despised their menaces, continuing to abuse the Spanish commander, and answering his opponents with "he is a damnd rascal—I with I had him here," &c. &c. till poor Pizarro quitted the stage. When ever Pizarro appeared the honest Tar grumbled forth his indignation, till his feelings were fully gratified in the fall of the tyrant.

Obscene books, the titles and prints of which are alike offensive to modesty and good taste, are the only fort exposed for sale. These monstrousities are exhibited every where, along the bridges, at the doors of the Theatres, on the Boulevards. The poison is not near, ten fous the volume—These productions of licentiousness rise one above another in licentiousness, and have attacked public decency without restraint or fear. The vendors of these pamphlets may be called the privileged Merchants of corruption. Every title, that is not infamous, seems to be excluded from their catalogue. There youth, without impediment or scruple, may learn the elements of every vice. This horrible manufacture of licentious books is carried on by a species of literary pirates, who will destroy learning and men of letters.

Its basis is that unlimited liberty of the press which the most infamous, wickedly or at all events, the blindest men are constantly crying out for. The institution of divorce, that sacrament of adultery, is one support of this disorder. It powerfully encourages the propensity to libertinism, maintained by luxury, by the custom of constantly visiting spectacles, balls, and the frivolous modes of dissipation in which Paris abounds above any city on earth. The multitude of theatres naturalises idleness, destroys the arts and artisans, paralyzes the arm, and effeminates the mind. Holidays must cease to exist, when the people are every day solicited to throw away half of the produce of their labour in supporting, or rather just enabling a phalanx of buffoons to live.

WHEN Mr. Jefferson, acted as his own executioner, by publishing his book, he certainly did not possess a spirit of prophecy; and, although he undertook to predict, that "immediately after the war we should go down hill, and that our rulers would become corrupt," yet I cannot believe that he was so much of a prophet as to foresee, at that time, that he should outlive his own reputation, that he should be obliged by a violent ambition, not simply to retract but to oppose his former opinions. Had he possessed that spirit of divination, this unfortunate work would have been suppressed, the world would have lost this specimen of American talents, and his political opponents would have been deprived of much "matter of derision and censure, at a future day."

In selecting some strong and decided passages of Mr. Jefferson's Notes on Virginia, I propose to effect three distinct and perfectly consistent objects:
In selecting some strong and decided passages of Mr. Jefferson's Notes on Virginia, I propose to effect three distinct and perfectly consistent objects:
1st. To vindicate the conduct of the Federal government in their most obnoxious measures, by the unbiased opinion of this now Jacobin philosopher, expressed at a moment when he was "less corrupt" according to his own declaration, and had less interest to disguise or conceal.

2d. To put down the Jacobin faction, by an appeal to their patron and head, thereby proving that their clamours against the government, have been directed at the wisest measures, and such as Mr. Jefferson, "when he wrote the declaration of Independence" highly approved.

3dly. To humble, and disgrace the great statesman, by showing not only that he supports and leads a party, who directly oppose the principles which he has avowed in print; not only that he is a man of wavering and uncertain politics, but that, against the light and conviction of his own understanding, he now fosters and encourages sentiments opposed to his own, and hostile to the true interests, and real dignity of the people of the United States.

No one subject has excited Jacobinic fury more than the system of public taxation and expenditure. It has given a soft milanbol to "many a pretty speech" in Congress. It has afforded "many a daleful ditty" to the pages of the Aurora and the Chronique; and it has furnished to leaden-headed democrats, ample subjects of clamour and complaint. The whisky tax has excited one rebellion, which cost the United States, more than the whole produce of that article in Pennsylvania; since it was first established; and the land tax, if you include the rebellion, the suppression of liberty poles, the conviction of Brown, and the double trial, conviction and pardon of the innocent Fries, Getman, and others, has been nearly absorbed by the very means of enforcing its collection. Now hear Mr. Jefferson, the present head of these opponents; In page 286 of his Notes, he says, "We could raise, [that is Virginia alone] and we ought to raise from one million to a million and an half of dollars annually," and this in specie. Again in page 293, "The value of our lands and slaves doubles in about twenty years." "The amount of what may be raised will of course rise in the same proportion." This book was written twenty years ago, and of course Virginia in the opinion of Mr. Jefferson, could now by direct tax, three millions of dollars annually; and the United States in the same ratio, could raise without distress twenty millions in dollars. Now whatever may be our opinion of the correctness of Mr. Jefferson's calculation, what becomes of the Jacobin complaints?

It has afforded "many a daleful ditty" to the pages of the Aurora and the Chronique; and it has furnished to leaden-headed democrats, ample subjects of clamour and complaint. The whisky tax has excited one rebellion, which cost the United States, more than the whole produce of that article in Pennsylvania; since it was first established; and the land tax, if you include the rebellion, the suppression of liberty poles, the conviction of Brown, and the double trial, conviction and pardon of the innocent Fries, Getman, and others, has been nearly absorbed by the very means of enforcing its collection. Now hear Mr. Jefferson, the present head of these opponents; In page 286 of his Notes, he says, "We could raise, [that is Virginia alone] and we ought to raise from one million to a million and an half of dollars annually," and this in specie. Again in page 293, "The value of our lands and slaves doubles in about twenty years." "The amount of what may be raised will of course rise in the same proportion." This book was written twenty years ago, and of course Virginia in the opinion of Mr. Jefferson, could now by direct tax, three millions of dollars annually; and the United States in the same ratio, could raise without distress twenty millions in dollars. Now whatever may be our opinion of the correctness of Mr. Jefferson's calculation, what becomes of the Jacobin complaints?
The whole United States, call for only two millions, and so Mr. Jefferson's party gird on their swords to resist its collection, and millions of dull pens are wielded to create opposition to it. In what manner did Mr. Jefferson propose to expend this public money when raised? "In supporting the federal army, paying the federal debt—in building a navy, opening roads, clearing rivers, forming safe ports, and other useful works." page 289. In what manner have Congress expended the public money, for which they have been so bitterly and severely censured by Mr. Jefferson and his adherents? In supporting a small federal army not sufficient to garrison our frontier posts—in repelling Indian and French aggressions and hostilities; in paying the interest of the national and the French debt; in suppressing two insurrections raised by Gallatin and Mr. Jefferson's ablest adherents; in building fortifications; establishing post roads; erecting light houses and other works of public utility.

Next in magnitude to the Land Tax and Standing Army, the Naval Establishment of the United States has been the most prolific source of Jacobin complaint. The eloquence of the back woodsmen of Pennsylvania and Virginia in the Congress of the United States, in opposition to a navy, have already cost the United States, the price of a ship of the line, a.d. if you could arrive at any accurate estimate of the time and liquor wasted in grog-shop discussions upon this interesting topic. I am persuaded, that it would equip a navy more foridable to our enemies, than the gasconade of our vapouring faction.

enemy—on that element we should possess some power. Page 291. Again, "A small naval force then is sufficient for us, and a few if one is necessary." Here our Jacobins, unacquainted with their patron, might be disposed to triumph, and to adduce this passage as a proof of the economy and moderation of Mr. Jefferson's policy: But let us hear the patriot himself: "I suppose the million of dollars which Virginia could annually spare to be applied to creating a navy; one year's contribution might equip, man and send to sea, a force which should carry 300 guns. In like manner one year's contribution of the United States would set up a navy of 1800 guns." page 292. Ag in, "1800 guns, says he would form a fleet of 30 ships, 18 of which might be of the line, and twelve frigates." "Their annual expence would be about 2,304,000 dollars" Here then we discover what Mr. Jefferson would call a small naval force. What have his party, and Mr. Jefferson himself censured as an useless waste of the public money? Congress have built 15 frigates, and about twenty smaller vessels calculated to destroy the plundering corsairs of our late allies, and Mr. Jefferson's staunch friends, the French—they have been as successful as could have been expected:—Our property has been transplanted with vally great security, and our old friends, convinced of our spirit, have been induced to court a new friendship with us.—Satisfied that they could not bully or plunder us into submission they are determined to try their happy knack of coaxing and robbing us.—At that sport, I am afraid they will prove an overmatch for the descendants of John Bull.

But what has so changed Mr. Jefferson's sentiments on the subject of a Navy since the year 1781? If the United States then consisting of three millions of inhabitants and with half their present wealth, could support 18 ships of the line and 12 frigates, why can they not now maintain 15 frigates and 2 sloops of war? Is it because this navy was advocated by his political opponents? John Adams recommended the measure? Or is it, that our commerce palled the ocean ununinterrupted? Were there no pirates, no plundering picaroons to molest and invade "the free charter of trade"? Could Mr. Jefferson stoop to consult his popularity on a subject so interresting to his country? Did he know the weak side of his fellow-citizens, that they value their money more and their honor less, than their true interest requires, and does he mean to flatter this weakness? Is he like the Syllas, the Cæsars, the Cromwells, the Bonapartes of other countries, and does he intend like them to mount the people upon their hobby-horse, come upon their blind side, and ride them to their own destruction? Or lastly, Is it that this naval force was fitted out to repel the aggressions of his dear friends the French? That glorious people, for whom he formed so ardent an affection during four years residence;—that people whose infidelity is so congenial with his own;—that generous people, ever busied in contriving the happiness of their old friends, the Americans:—That wise people who alone understood the true principles of liberty:—That magnanimous nation, who render di interested services, and never demand even gratitude in return—who liberate nations from slavery, without putting them to the mortification of soliciting their alliance, and who demand no other requital, than the monuments of the fine arts, the delicious charms of their females, and their circulating medium:—That sympathetic people, who alive to Mr. Jefferson's meris, did such ample justice to them, in the same address to Munroe, in which they execrate and denounce the American Government—and that honest and truly race of men, to whom Mr. Jefferson confided his hatred of Washington, his enmity to the constitution, and his determination to overthrow it—[See the letter to Mazzei, a Frenchman, who like Stephen T. Mason, published it against Mr. Jefferson's wishes.] To all these causes may we attribute Mr. Jefferson's opposition to the present navy and his barefaced defertion of his own principles exhibited in his aforesaid book; and for all these reasons and for various others which I shall hereafter assign, I think Mr. Jefferson ought not to be elevated to the Presidency unless we are prepared to pass under the yoke of France. DECIUS.

It is well known that the ancients held this mode of instructive amusement in the highest degree of estimation; nor has it been less esteemed by the most polished nations among the moderns. To "Catch the living manners as they rise," has ever been held not only allowable but meritorious; and the opinion given by one of the most enlightened of the sons of men, of the original compiler, of the Lecture now offered to the public, "That his merit, genius, and satirical observations, marked him as a Public Censor; and that his judicious display of Polly and Vice, entitled him not only to public encouragement, but public thanks." As the highly flattered attempts of the then living author must be considered as the highest eulogium to his names; so it is hoped the same with respect to the present case, will be viewed at least with candour.

On Saturday last a beautiful ship was launched at Hoboken, from the ship yard of Mr. William Pritchard, Esq. She is called the Horizon , is about 360 tons burthen, and pierced for 22 guns, and built of the best materials our country affords. She is purchased by Messrs. A. and John M'Clure, and intended for a London trader. Judges of naval architecture pronounce that her model for sailing and the faithful in the execution of the work will do great credit to Mr. Pritchard. The launch was executed with skill and expedition, and highly gratified a large number of spectators, who attended for the purpose.

FORGERY. An Irishman, by name John M. Murray, was arrested on a warrant from Justice Bentham, and committed to the gaol of this city on Tuesday night, as one of a gang concerned in counterfeiting and issuing Baltimore Bank Notes of 100 dollars.
Information had been forwarded by the Mayor of Baltimore to a gentleman of this city, that an accomplice of Murray's was then confined in gaol, for passing forged notes of 100 dollars of the Baltimore Bank; and that in expectation of lessening his punishment, he had confessed that they were executed by Murray and himself in Charleston, South Carolina. He likewise described the person of Murray, his residence, and the part of it, (under the floor of one of the lower rooms, No. 19, King-Street) where the plates and other necessary implements were concealed. Upon the arrest of M. and the examination of the premises, the correctness of the information was established. The copper plate and two notes of the Baltimore Bank for 100 dollars each were found.

To-day, we republish another masterly essay from the pen of LEVIUS . These speculations, written in a sober and dispassionate style, claim and have received a very large share of public attention. No papers on the important topic of the approaching election have more fully detected the wiles of JEFFERSON, and none in the Eastern States have more effectually defeated the projects of his ambition.

The "Act to establish an uniform System of Bankruptcy throughout the U. States," is from its importance and peculiarity, best calculated to appear in the pamphlet form. In this mode, the convenience of the purchaser is consulted, and the knowledge of a part of our legal code, at once novel and important, is more advantageously communicated than in a fugitive newspaper. We find that the act in question is very neatly printed in this city by MAXWELL and DICKINSON. The proofs were inspected by a gentleman of professional skill, and the execution is highly respectable. The type is beautiful, and the text is pure of errors.

The Jacobins are seriously alarmed at the just and necessary measures adopted by Massachusetts and New Hampshire in defence of their rights against an aspiring and daring faction. The Democrats are fearful, that Maryland intends giving the death-blow to their darling hopes at the approaching election for Electors. Their incessant cries for the rights of the people, we should suppose, would arouse the intitled shade of Virginia's murdered rights, which sitting through the air would exclaim in the language of the Ghost in Hamlet, "Remember Me."

We shall never tire of inserting farcical sketches of the late democratic proceedings at the State House. "OBSERVER" will appear to-morrow, and will probably recall to the mind of the reader this passage from HUDIBRAS. For, when a fly retires to bed, Here sits his tail above his head; So, in this commonwealth of ours The rabble are the supreme powers."

A correspondent is desirous of being informed whether a would be Sheriff of famous insurrectionary memory can calculate upon a powerful support from that highly respectable body, the Roman Catholics of this city, at the ensuing election in October? He is induced to ask this question from the circumstance of this very pius , enlightened and devout christian having yesterday attended divine service, and preached himself in a conspicuous part of Saint Mary's.

Many of the retainers of the Aurora Office have a very forlorn and disconsolate air. Of some the creditors are importunate, and to others, perhaps the churchly laundresses have not returned the only shirt they have in the world. Alas, poor Devils, your lot is a hard one, your lines have fallen in pleasant places neither have you a goodly heritage. Mr. Jefferson lays out what is left of his British debt in the purchase of big bones and small delin; and, as for your immediate employer Cash, must be a stranger to him, for democratic subscribers never pay; and Gin is excited;

The people of the United States are attempted to be gulled into the belief or frightened into the fear that Jefferson will be their chief. But this Deist and philosopher will be refused by the good sense of America. From the present aspect of things and from well grounded calculations, a man of principle, and energy, and a staunch and virtuous Federalist will triumph over democratic machination, and save us from Philosophy and Frenchmen.

Some of the traits of Jacobinism are empty brains ragged coats, a blaspheming tongue and, a baldy breath. The Democrats are generally Falstaff's ragged regiment; and, like the mit-rable gazetteers lashed by Pope, "Sleeveless some, and shirtless others."

A writer, whose signature is Bylander, in the Baltimore Federal Gazette has taken a complete review of the United States, and gives a statement of votes for Electors of President and Vice President.—This calculation is made with nice precision and close investigation—Such is his fairness that in every instance when a doubt arises he places it to the credit of the democrats—The result appears to be that were district elections universally established,

the anti-federalists, on the most liberal allowance, could get but 63 votes in all the States, out of 138, of which it requires 70 to make a majority. That is, that if the sense of the nation could be expressed by the fair vote of all possible voters, a general election by the people in districts, there would be a large majority of the nation against that candidate whom his friends are now at tempting to smuggle in, by changing the mode of election from districts to a general ticket, where it suits their views, and clamouring, at the same time, for district elections, where they hope to get something by them.

In Virginia they began the game. They took away the fair mode of district elections and substituted a general ticket, whereby the voice of six federal districts was silenced in the election of President. In Pennsylvania they contended to the last for a general ticket, and refused to the federalists a district election, on the fair division of the State, which was repeatedly offered to them. A person, indeed, under the signature of "A Pennsylvanian," who is said to be Mr. Dallas, has had the unaccountable effrontery to assert, in a paper of this city, that the anti-federalists in the Pennsylvania legislature did not object to the principles of a district election, but to the mode of dividing the State; assertions which that person himself, and every man in Pennsylvania, knows to be false. In Maryland, on the contrary, these same friends of Mr. Jefferson, hypocritically affect the most violent attachment to district elections, raise a loud clamour about the rights of the people, and contend, tooth and nail, for that very mode which their coadjutors have abolished in Virginia, and prevented in Pennsylvania; hoping by these means to cheat the federal party, who calculate the majority in Maryland, as well as in the nation at large, out of their choice, out of their right, as a Majority, to heave a President of their choice and to impose on the nation a Chief Magistrate to whom the majority is unqually opposed. In a subsequent number, I will examine, more at length, this pretence about the rights of the people, whereby they are attempted to be cheated, in fact, out of their rights; and the foundation of this clamour, by which the good sense of the majority is attempted to be imposed on, and a President to be chosen by a fictitious majority. In the mean time, I will ask the federalists of Maryland who constitute the majority by the concession even of their opponents, what is the right which they hold most dear? Is it not to have a President of their own choice? If so, will they suffer themselves to be defrauded of this dear and substantial right, by a few cant phrases; by the artifices of the enemies of government in other States, aided by the noisy clamours in this? Should such be their conduct, I shall indeed be acquainted but astonished.

The Supporter.
The new publication of the Daily Newspaper under my direction intitled "The Supporter, or Daily Report," which has not appeared since Saturday last, calls for an apology from me to my subscribers and customers; and the derangement in the printing of it being sudden. I had not the opportunity of doing it in my own paper. I therefore take this way of informing my subscribers & readers, that owing to the publication in the printing thereof the publication will be suspended for some time until other arrangements are completed which will be as soon as possible. In the mean time such persons as chose to add their names to the list of Subscribers are respectfully informed that subscription papers for that purpose continue open at Hall's Library No. 75, N. Third st. at Wm. Y. Birch, No. 17 South Second-street, at Thomas Dobson's No. 41, South Second-street, at John Ormerod's 41, Chestnut-street, and with the subscriber himself.
