Important Letter!
The following Letter was actually written to a very respectable member of the Society of Friends. Its contents are of the very first consequence at this time. It contains what is true, and what ought to rule every man who does not mean to give up his civil liberties, and perhaps his country to violence and war; to step forth and maintain the re-election of J. ADAMS: It being generally considered by every thinking, sober and religious man, that the dismissal of Mr. ADAMS will be the signal of war and disunion.
MY FRIEND,
HAVING long been of opinion, that it was a duty every man owed to himself, his family, friends and country, not only to give his vote for the election of civil rulers, but also to use such means as his knowledge and judgment dictated, for the right direction of others, I constantly give up some portion of my time and attention to this object, whenever an election of any importance is made for public office, under our free and happy government; there is no other way for good citizens to secure to themselves the advantage of it, but by exerting their just influence in promoting the election of such officers, as, in their opinion, are best qualified to fill the public departments and to administer right and justice to the people: It has therefore not a little surprised and grieved me, on many trying occasions, when the friends to government and good order are exerting all their strength to frustrate the designs of wicked and dangerous men, who wish, by means of deceit and misrepresentation, to bring the country into confusion by setting the people against their own representatives; I say, it has given me much pain to observe how indifferent and unwilling many of your society are, to add their weight to the scale which ought to preponderate: What can this be owing to? I well know the scruples which deter you from any sort of participation in measures which directly or indirectly are connected with war: Far be it from me to undertake to disapprove of the sensibility which influences you in that respect: Would to God, that every human heart was actuated by a principal so gentle, and so agreeable to the spirit of that religion of which I am a sincere believer: Wars, however, will come, and it has pleased Providence to raise up those, who, in this respect, are influenced to execute his pleasure; but, my friend, what is there in the measures which relate merely to civil government, of which you are members, and without which, you could enjoy no security either for secular or religious possessions; I say, what is there to prevent you from taking such a peaceable and just part in those questions, as may in your judgment, contribute to the maintenance of civil government?—Our public rulers are chosen by the people; if bad men, we may expect the greatest evils; if good men are chosen, we may look for social and individual happiness and prosperity: Is it not an obvious duty, then, for every man who has a voice in the elections, to go and give it in favor of such men and measures, as he, in his conscience, thinks will be most for his own and the public good? You look upon this as right and necessary in your own particular association—Why is it not equally incumbent on you as members of a civil community?—We well know that civil government is ordained of heaven, and that God permits it to be a blessing or a curse according as it is administered well or ill: How then, can any conscientious man stand by, and when in his power to do good, by exerting his reason and rights, yet by indifference or neglect, lose the opportunity, and thereby be accessory to much public distress and calamity?—If the life or the interest of your child, your neighbor, or friend, were to depend upon your exertions, and your vote, would you not use the one and give the other for their relief; and what difference in the case?—Your children, your neighbors, and friends, nay, thousands of your fellow creatures are all deeply interested in the issue of public elections for civil officers: Why should you withdraw from rendering that service which is in your power?
I know it has been sometimes said, that elections are conducted with too much heat, that it is disagreeable to take any part in them—but, what good thing is not abused? Shall we make no profession of religion because there are hypocrites? Shall we not countenance and support it, because it has occasioned so much jarring, and violence, and war? This principle acted upon, would drive us out of the world; for, what occupation can we follow, what intercourse engage in, which will not lead us into disagreeable circumstances, and which have not occasioned much misery? My friend, I know that what I have suggested here, must be quite unnecessary for your conviction: I know you take a proper interest in the support of civil government and safe and just rulers; but I have taken the liberty to throw out those ideas for the perusal of any of your acquaintance who are indifferent on the score of elections, and suffer their best civil rights and enjoyments to depend upon the will of other people; for, it is evident, that when bad men, or bad measures get a head for want of proper diligence in the electors—the electors who thus neglect their rights and interests are really criminal.
The leading object, however, of this letter to you, is to impress upon you, the singular importance of the ensuing election for a President. I need not tell you, that such has been the unwearied industry, and so numerous the fallacies and misrepresentations against the federal government, that it will require the greatest exertions to prevent the people from overturning it, by the election of Thomas Jefferson; for I look upon it that such an event will shake the foundations of the confederacy; that Mr. Jefferson has personal disqualifications which render him wholly unfit to be at the head of a christian community, you will be convinced by the perusal of the inclosed pamphlet, which is written by a pious and learned minister of Jesus Christ, as perhaps any in this or any other country, and which proves him, from his own writings, an unbeliever in christianity; but that disqualification would operate slowly, though fatally to the morals of the country—a man in a suck high station, professing deism and a disbelief in the scriptures, and desirous of "seeing a government in which no religious opinions are held," (this is his own language) would perhaps in less time than four years, by the influence and means in their power, bring the people in this country to adopt Tom Paine's Age of Reason in place of the Bible. But what I mean to represent to you as so formidable in his election, is its political consequence to this country. You well know the character and views of that desperate and unprincipled party which have unceasingly endeavoured to disturb the harmony of government, and to persuade the people to disobedience and rebellion. These are the people (connecting with them some honest but deluded men) who are advocating Jefferson, and who, if he is elected, will direct him in the government of this country: In one word; the government will be in the hands of the Jacobins—you know as well as I do what characters this description includes; to wit: French agents—British and Irish reagents, and adventurers, and aliens of other countries—infidels—bankrupts—rebellious demagogues—the lazy—the intemperate—the vicious and ignorant of this country; that these are the sort of people who have constantly clamored and embarrassed the federal government, is manifest to every one. Only look around within your own observation, and you will want no proof of this—That there is here and there, among them, a man of good character, misled by artifice or biased by prejudice, cannot be disputed; but such men will be thrown aside when their unprincipled associates get into power. You well know that this faction have sworn hatred to the English government, and are determined on war with that power as soon as they can effect it; and it is also well known that most of the great men in the southern states, being deeply in debt to British merchants, are disposed to a war as the means of stopping payment—I am not certain that even Mr. Jefferson has yet, paid off the great debt he owed at the peace and which he then offered to pay off partly in negroes. Besides these, there are great numbers of French who wish to see us at war with Great Britain; and most of the Irish and English fugitives from justice, who being obliged to leave their own country for crimes, are now determined to be avenged, if they can, by exciting the Americans to war. Most of the scandalous and mischievous newspapers, such as the Aurora, the Examiner, &c. which are circulated far and wide are carried on by these venomous emigrants; as I said before, all these belong to the Jefferson party, and will certainly drive us to war the first opportunity—an opportunity will readily offer; their party has only to refuse to execute an article of the treaty; or to send away the English minister; to offer some direct insult to that nation; restrain her commerce, or do some other of a thousand acts which would be causes of war, and it will certainly follow: Indeed, many persons of good judgment think it will be difficult, with all prudent means used to avoid it. The ruinous consequences of a war at this time are evident; the greatest portion of our revenue, necessary for making good the engagements and the expenses of the federal government, arises from duties on import, on goods and tonnage of ships. A war with Great Britain, will at once cut off these sources of money, and the government driven to heavy taxes on land and houses to supply the deficiency. Land will sink in value, and the produce of it having no market, will rot in the granary, or, rather the farmer will not raise beyond the consumption of the country. What discontent this will produce, and how hard it will be upon the landed interest, to bear the whole expense, both of the federal and state governments, and also the burdens necessary to carry on the war, with wheat at 5f a bushel, I leave you to judge. Indeed, I think it would be impracticable to keep the confederacy together under such circumstances.—Some of the states would, likely, rid themselves of a common defence withdraw from the union, make peace with Great Britain, and leave the others to submit or fight it out alone. In short, the consequences of such a war cannot be calculated: Great Britain would be at little expense in it; her ships are now on the ocean, at least seven hundred ships of war—only 50 frigates, stationed on our coasts, could lay the sea ports under contribution, annihilate our commerce, ruin the merchant, the sailor and the farmer, and bring upon these states such an additional load of debt, and so retard their prosperity, that a whole century might not restore them to their present happy condition. Is it not, then, an object of the greatest moment for the people in this country to take no step which may tend to produce a war with Great Britain? Now we are at peace—now our trade flourishes—our revenues are supplied—our agriculture encreases—wealth, enjoyments, every civil and religious privilege are showered upon us. If we would keep where we are, we must not change our President Adams! If we do, the French party, the Virginia party, the democratic party, and the deluded, will force us to a war. If no change takes place in the administration of the government, we shall go on as before, no shock, no convulsion, but a regular pursuit of those maxims of cultivating peace, cementing the union, and maintaining our independence.

have hitherto invariably been pursued. chance of war is at least so great from the reasons before mentioned, that it would be surely bad policy to run the risk of it, for the mere sake of change only.
But, my friend, the election of Mr. Jefferson did not lead to war without, will inevitably produce great troubles within. Not to mention the turning out of officers, the alteration of laws, and the endless embarrassments, which follow from a change of administration (of which the State of Pennsylvania exhibits a picture in miniature, where the same party, which now supports Mr. Jefferson prevails) to say nothing about these, it appears to me that a change of the President, will, in all probability dissolve the confederacy! It is well known, by all persons conversant with politics, that a very strong jealousy subsists between the Eastern and Southern States, in so much so, that it has become familiar for the men who conduct the affairs in the eastern states to express themselves in favor of a separate confederacy; they are tired with the opposition of the Southern States to the means of government, and are really desirous of shaking off the incumbrance; nothing has prevented this, perhaps, but, that the New-England states, by having many of the great offices under government and particularly the Presidency, were induced from the ascendancy they thereby had in the affairs of the union, to adhere to it. The removal of the seat of government to Virginia, the dismissal of Mr. Pickering, and the appointment of Mr. Marshall a Virginian, in his place, have created great dissatisfaction already, the most of their conspicuous characters in congress, have declined re-elections, and the idea of separation is every where reviving! If, to compleat all, a Virginia President should be elected in the place of Mr. Adams, it is ten to one, if before mid summer, next, we do not hear of a proposition for a convention from the New-England states, to form a separate confederacy! My friend, four men in the new-England states, by their advice and influence, could bring this about—no doubt, should this moment with it. For my part, should it take place, I will become a party to it, that is, I will remove there; Jersey shall not keep me after that; poor Jersey will again become tributary to Pennsylvania and New York; or, perhaps they may be kind enough to take a cession of our government on each side of the partition line. But to return, the danger of a dissolution of the confederacy from throwing the balance of government and office so much to the side of Virginia, is really imminent! Nothing will more likely produce it. The Vice President will also be there. If Jefferson is President, Mr. Adams will be second on the return, and Charles C. Pinckney, of South-Carolina, third; Mr. Adams will of course decline being Vice-President, which will bring in Pinckney, so that the Southern states will have President, Vice President and Seat of Government.
I need not tell what real political advantages this produces in the distribution of offices, in measures of government, in private speculations and in all those affairs of a less conspicuous nature which concern the adjacent country. What with the loss of solid power, and the flings of imaginary degradation, operating upon previous dispositions in the New England states to withdraw from the confederacy, it can really with none, who are acquainted with their public men, remain a doubt, that they will be influenced to surrender the federal compact, and form one on a smaller scale? Ought we, then, my friend, to suffer this if it can be avoided? and nothing will prevent it, save the re-election of John Adams! He is the favorite of that people, he is the pride of America; his dismissal from office by the interregues of the jacobins, will be the signal of disunion! The New-England states, taking with them Vermont, will be no longer a part of the federal family! And, where shall we be then? Poor Jersey, my native state, now independent, now girded round with the protecting arm of the confederacy, now prosperous, happy and great; you will then be left to the sport of internal faction and external oppression. The confederacy once broken, every state reverts to its former condition; how degraded was yours, when Pennsylvania and New-York, taking you on every side, enriched their treasuries and impoverished your hardy sons. Alas! My friend, it sickens me to revolve over the probable events which will follow a disunion of the states; civil war, and with it all the calamities which have lately passed in review on the other side of the Atlantic.
But, I quit this gloomy recital of dangers which threaten us, to urge you to those exertions which may relieve our fears. It is true the whole force and all the arts of the jacobins are brought forth to displace Mr. Adams and to bring in Mr. Jefferson; but will not truth and virtue, and justice prevail? Let every honest man but come forward, and by undeceiving the misled, detecting the deceiver, and giving his own vote at the ensuing election for the Adams' ticket, all will yet be well. In every county, federal tickets are nominated; in every county there are great majorities, for the federal government and John Adams; little objections of a particular nature should not have weight, but the whole ticket be supported. The jacobins too, have their meetings and tickets; they are indefatigable; they spare no pains or expense; they circulate among the uninformed, that abandoned sink of lies, the Aurora, in which Mr. Adams is held up as a monster; in which all the friends and supporters of the government are traduced as Tories and aristocrats; in which the Congress is charged with laying enormous taxes, and the officers of government accused of immense embezzlements; every little incident is worked up to inflame, and every artifice to deceive. To those who know the villainy of these calumnies, and that at least ten persons are paid for the week for furnishing lies, to fill its columns; to such, perhaps, nothing need be said; but every man who is a friend to this country, and sees that such base licentiousness of the press tends to impose upon the unsuspecting, should by conversation, and writing, endeavor to explain the measures of government which have been so wise and moderate, and eradicate from weak minds the impressions made by a repetition of the most abominable falsehoods. The
people should be cautioned not to give credit to these atrocious publications, merely because on paper; it is easy for men, lost to truth, to set down and put any thing into writing or figures, and publish them as facts; this is done now, so constantly in the Aurora and other jacobin papers, that no man of common sense will give the least credit to them. So far has slander and calumny been carried in it, that it has really suffered and disgraced its own supporters; they have become ashamed of it and condemn it as a common nuisance.
My friend, however deception may, for a while, hold its ground, it must at length fly before truth and fact. The people are every where arousing, and coming forward in support of their government as administered by Mr. Adams; they begin to see that these clamors are the effects of malice, ambition and disappointment, because they feel themselves happy, and by recurring to the real laws and acts of the government, and nothing to condemn. Let me entreat you, then, on this occasion, so important to us and our country, to its present and future welfare; as you prefer peace to war, union to disunion, a christian magistrate to an infidel, and a steady, serious, civil government, to the violence and wickedness of jacobinism, by all these motives, to attend the next election in your township, and give in your vote, and use your influence with others to vote for the continuance of John Adams as President of the United States. Let this reflection be always on your mind—"my single vote and influence added to the federal ticket, at the ensuing election, may be the means of preserving the country from war, and the states from disunion, by preventing a change of the first civil magistrate, and keeping out of power those men, who, I know to be actuated by restless and disorganizing projects."
I remain yours, &c.

MR. WAYNE, AS your paper has a more extensive circulation through this State, than any other, I wish to contradict a Jacobin lie which is gaining ground. They say, that the Methodists who form a very large proportion for the Federal interest of Kent county, intend to drop the Honourable James A. Bayard at the next election. I can with boldness contradict the mischievous and ill-founded untruth, and say, that, there is not twenty voters, of that society, in the county, who will not support him with all their influence.

THE CARRIERS of this Gazette, have been strictly forbidden either to sell or give away, any of their papers; and should the Editor detect, or receive information of any person attempting to seduce them from the line of their duty, he will employ legal means for redress.—It has become a serious inconvenience, and those who are friendly to the interest of this paper, are requested to give such information as may be in their power on the subject, and they will confer an obligation on THE EDITOR.
It is requested that Gentlemen who are neglected by the Carriers, will not permit several days to elapse without giving information of such neglect; but immediately give notice. They SHALL be served regularly.
TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.
"LUCIUS," is a misnomer; it should have been Luscius, the essay is indecent and inadmissible.
The author of the humorous and poetical parody of "Sweet Matilda Portington" is thanked for his classical favor. Under the last of his "satiric song" the Jacobins write with agony. He will find admirable models for a new Dunciad and Disbanded in the Anti-Jacobin, or Weekly Examiner, a paper very different from our vulgar Gazettes; a paper, the offspring of gentlemen and scholars, edited by genius, contributed to by wit, fortified by wisdom, and protected by munificence.
We are delighted to recognize again the hand-writing of the good and wise character, who signs himself "No Infidel." His Essay shall be published on Monday; and, we sincerely hope that it will fortify the weak, and fix the wavering.
LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.
We understand that a complete edition of the work of the accomplished Mr. W. CLIFTON, late of this city, is now in a state of considerable forwardness in the City of New-York, and will appear, adorned with an elegant head of the author, in the course of the present autumn. What will render this interesting volume more valuable to purchasers in general, and particularly to the friends of a man of brilliant understanding, now, alas, no more, will be a biographical sketch of the life of Mr. CLIFTON, by a gentleman, best calculated to do justice to departed worth, both by the beauty and energy of his style, and his long habits of intimacy with the author, whose works he is collating. We are confident that this volume will be perused with pleasure by every man of sentiment and taste. The author, who died prematurely of a consumption, that disorder so fatal to those "Who tame their youth to philosophic cares, And grow still paler by the midnight lamp," was one of that small "self sequester'd" band, who relinquish the forum and the field for the "penive security of desert cell," and seek, in the words of the impassioned GRAY,
Cloisters dim—far from the haunts of folly, With freedom by their side, and soft-eyed melancholy.
The genius of the late Mr. Clifton, resembled that of the original COLLINS. It was fertile in all the fancies of fancy, and the voice of his brotherly Muse was sometimes mournfully wail'd, like the Ophelia of Shakespeare. But his tone was not always melancholy; nor his lays always elegiac. He excelled with great dexterity "the febric thump," and the knave or the fool of democracy alternately agonized under the well aimed lash. In common with a few others of the loyal and the ingenious, he laboured, alas! to little purpose, to corroborate the strength, to increase the dignity and to cherish the honour of his country. But, tho' a man of flitting talents, virtuous views and persevering industry, he was forced to exclaim, and his poetry is connected with truth,
"In these cold shades, beneath these visiting skies The Fancy sickens, and the Genius dies."
DEATH takes new degrees every day, in the School for Scandal. In bad English, may in bad Irish be calumniated the government and religion of this country. His acrimony is so excessive that it defeats its own purpose, and the sober and sedate unite now in exclaiming, with DRYDEN
Let him rail on—let his invective Muse, Have four and twenty letters to abuse— Which, if he jumble to one line of sense, Indict him of a capital offence.
The Aurora man lays we shall not make selections for his paper.—Morse's letter don't suit the taste of that self-styled "Gentleman of the full reputation, who conducts His paper with ability."
Curious Specimen of Politeness.
The Cassine paper mentions the capture of the fct' Abigail, John Perkins, master, by a French privateer; and that after the capture Capt. Perkins was "treated with politeness": he was carried into Guadalupe, where his vessel was condemned, and he and his men thrown into prison.—Some author observes, that if a Frenchman were to cut your throat, he would do it politely.

FEDERALISM.
WHEN RULERS ARE WISE, THE PEOPLE ARE HAPPY.
ELECTORS are to vote in the last month of the present year for a President of the Union. The interest of America is deeply at stake in the appointment to that office. If a judicious choice be made, stability and prosperity will be the sequel. How attentive ought to be the mind, and how steady the hand, when America hath a movement of such importance to make! May the Almighty God, who rules the universal, direct the hearts of the electors, on that solemn, and eventful day. What description of character, is suitable for that important station? What individual should be named to execute that trust, which embraces the concerns of millions of men? These are questions, which flow daily from the mouths of the friends of this country, and which constantly, as they well deserve, receive a considerate, and uniform answer. The collected sense of a whole body of people is seldom erroneous, when with one voice, on free and deliberate consideration, they describe the character, and nominate the man, on whom they choose to devote the highest command in society. In cases of such general, and momentous consequences, the voice of the people is the voice of God. America in seventeen hundred and seventy six, stood tremulous in a perilous condition, a goodly and extensive land, where peace and plenty attended on her numerous sons. Great Britain, with a triumphant fleet, and powerful army, augmented by foreign and sanguinary mercenaries, came to seize the property of America, to subjugate her inhabitants, and to reduce them from the state of freemen to that of servile tributaries to oppressive masters. Who can save us from rapacity and despotism, was the universal cry? In that hour of difficulty and danger, talents were the means, by which men were promoted to great trusts.
Washington and Adams, with a band of worthies, appeared, repelled the foe, & founded the American empire. Characters, who erected an empire, are suitable to rule a nation. Men, who in the time of danger forgot themselves, and remembered only America, are fit to execute the trust of Presidency. Characters, who have neither feared nor favoured foreign powers, but have ever stood firm, are the characters, who will always protect, and who will never betray, this country, the object of their admiration, and of the labour of their lives. Great Britain in the career of her power and pride, and in the exercise of her injustice retained our western posts, seized our ships, captivated our seamen, plundered our cargoes, and were ready to attempt our subjugation and destruction. Washington negotiated, Adams assisted; they prevented the miseries of war, they settled a peace, and saved a nation. Men, who secure a people from the horrors of war and diffuse among them, the blessings of peace, are the men fit for Presidency. In such men the people place confidence. Those guardians, who have been vigilant for our good, will neither be absent from their post, when the enemy approaches; nor deficient in resources, when exigencies direct them to secure the safety of the people committed to their care. France in a day of phrensy swept nations from the earth, buried millions to the grave, and reduced millions to beggary. France designed first to employ and finally to enslave America. Washington assisted by Adams proclaimed neutrality. France was indignant against America. Washington and Adams, made no treaty with France; for they knew that the would have observed none: The plunder of the world, was her object. The arm of force is the only security for the Americans against the rapacity of France. The powerful arm of resistance, is the only stay to the ravages of aspiring France, who for some centuries past, and particularly for some years past, hath been, and still is the common disturber of the repose of nations, and the common enemy of mankind. Washington and Adams roused the spirit of the Americans; armed a navy; Truxton fought; and America was protected. Men, who in difficulty, can protect a nation, are the men formed for Presidency. Guided by such rulers, America may live in safety. The experienced officer, who has safely conducted the ship over boisterous seas, is not to be displaced by the raw hand, who has only directed a canoe over still and small waters. For years past America hath flourished in her agriculture, fisheries, arts and commerce; her population hath been encreased; her wealth hath been augmented, new States have been erected—peace and plenty have prevailed; her land hath been filled with a happy people; and America hath been blessed with a degree of prosperity beyond any thing, which the present age hath seen, or history hath recorded. Under the administration of Washington and Adams, there hath been one continued and swelling flow of prosperity. Men, who prompted by goodness and formed by experience, have improved the policy of a nation, and promoted the happiness of a people, are those, to whose hands the administration of her affairs may well be committed. Washington, who fashioned the American character to integrity and magnanimity, and who settled the administration of the American Government, for the exercise of wisdom and power, is gone beloved and lamented; while Adams remains admired and revered. Adams is the individual, whose name attracts the notice of the patriotic elector, and who in public fame stands President elect. Conducted by his wisdom, the Americans may appear the favoured people of the Earth. The magistrate and the people reflect honour, the one on the other; when the labours of the former are exerted for the benefit of the
latter; and when the latter voluntarily reward the service of the former, with places of the highest trust. While the benighted European maddened with folly, and vice wars with Heaven and Earth, and either gives or receives death, waste and misery at every step of his progress; the enlightened American protected under a wise and mild government, and fostered under the smiles of Providence, enjoys in peace all the blessings of society. Who are those, and what is the description of those, who desire to have Adams President of the Union? The true friends of America, who know well her internal situation, who attend much to her external relations, and who labour daily in their respective stations to advance her interest, call for the choice of Adams, who hath been tried, and on whom they can depend. The true friends of America, who have acquired, or who hope to acquire, property in the union, name for the Presidency Adams, whose integrity remains unshaken, and under whose administration they trust, that property, which either hath been or may be the produce of their painful industry and frugal care, will be secured to them. The true friends of American society, who know the utility of government, and who admire the beautiful system of social order prevalent in the union, designate for the Presidency Adams, who from youth to age hath been continually employed in establishing order and good government in this happy land, the last and best retreat for the formation of the character of man according to the dignity of his nature. The true friends of American christianity, who adore a supreme being, who practise morality and religion, and who know that society among men cannot be maintained without religion, call with a loud voice to the Presidency, Adams, whose christian faith and exemplary morals afford them assurance, that the government of the union will be administered in support of the free exercise of religious duties. The true friends of America have much to gain, if a prudent choice for presidency be made; and they have their all to lose, if a rash one for that office be the event. The information, the property, the good order, the religion and the welfare of the union conspire in requiring for the presidential chair Adams, who hath from early youth been distinguished for his patriotism. No wise people will discard a faithful and experienced officer, especially at a time, when his experience and fidelity are peculiarly needed. John Adams and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney are the Candidates, whom federal men nominate for Presidency and Vice Presidency. Pinckney, whose ability and fidelity in the service of America has been admired by all the world, and have flout probation against the corrupt arts and insidious practices of French negotiation, is a patriotic name of high note and commanding merit, when Presidency and Vice Presidency are at the disposal of a grateful and enlightened people. The catalogue, which enrols the name of Adams in the first rank of American statesmen, records also the name of Pinckney in the second. Federalism is the principle, which hath built and administered the government of the union. "Unite or die" was a direction in the early politics of America. "A band of brothers" was, in the days of virtue, the appellation given to the Americans. The principle of activity animated them, and ensured the completion and success of the well formed plan. Union and activity among the federalists will give them a federal President and Vice-President, whose administration will guide the American government through difficulty and danger in safety and prosperity, and will secure it against foreign artifice, and will protect it against foreign force. The American government of the union, a fabric reared by heroes and statesmen for the benefit of the American people of the present and succeeding ages, is a work, which the true friends of America admire and endeavour to preserve, and which ought to be committed to the care only of the ablest and best of federal men. Such are Adams and Pinckney, whom the people of the union have in contemplation already chosen, and whom the people of the union do desire the electors in a short time to choose, to the chair of state. The promotion of the ablest men to highest offices in the community is one of the greatest advantages arising to a people from a free government, and is the surest means of advancing the welfare of a people. May the American government flourish until the universal catastrophe shall dissolve all earthly Empires.

BOSTON, September 30.
Messrs. Printers,
AS the case of the Pigeon, lately restored in France, has been published with relac and much relied on, it may be useful to publish the enclosed precious document to accompany it. This and other information you will find in the following extracts.
Yours, A. B.
Extracts from a letter, dated London, August 11, 1800.
"By the enclosed newspaper, which I believe to be correct, you will learn the present state of our affairs with France. [Alluding to the account published under Paris head, 6th of August.]
"It is agreeable to information lately given me by an American from Paris. The French government will not probably relax until the election of President be made—with Jefferson perhaps they expect to make their own terms. Our flag in the mean time may be respected; it will aid their views."
"This American relates some extraordinary instances of corruption at Paris, with which he was personally acquainted. You may do almost any thing with money. Bribe the ministers or owners of privateers as you please. Fifty thousand livres to the Minister of Marine's Bureau, obtained, perhaps, the restitution of the Pigeon. In another instance, an owner of a privateer being paid more than he could have obtained by the condemnation of an American vessel, persuaded the rest of the owners to consent to restitution. In all cases it is best to make a compromise with all or some of these radicals; if you will not, and obtain a decree of restitution, they become bankrupts and all is lost. They are more profligate and corrupt in France than ever!"
"The Court of Appeals here, have reversed the sentences of condemnation of two Philadelphia vessels and cargoes, bound from Havana to Philadelphia. The proof of property was sufficient, and the Court pronounced the trade to the Spanish Colonies to be legal—not a breach of our neutrality."
"Notwithstanding the many favors given, some of you will continue to expose your property. A vessel belonging to and bound from Salem to Cadiz has been detained and sent into Plymouth. The captor pretended that Cadiz was in a state of blockade. It has never been declared so, of course this vessel is not liable on that account to confiscation; but if it should appear that the cargo of this vessel was brought by her from the Havana, the voyage to Cadiz may be considered as the continuance of an illegal voyage, i. e. from a belligerent power to the mother country."
"Should not the captors proceed against the vessel and cargo, they will raise these difficulties to justify the detention and their demands on us for their expenses."
"The last papers from France brought the repeal of the decree which prohibited the exportation of goods hence to France. Shipments are again making for that country!"
A Gentleman who came passenger in the ship which arrived at Salem from Cadiz, brought with him a letter, written by Mr. Mountfort, an American Agent at Paris, to the American Consul at Cadiz, and dated July 31. in which he observes, "we are here in great anxiety about the principle the Council of Prizes will adopt respecting our armed vessels. None have yet been tried. Opinions are divided; and as our Negotiations are not terminated, some think all decisions on such causes will be postponed till a treaty be made, or the Negotiations ultimately broken up. For my part I have still some hopes, that a treaty will be effected. Others think our Envoy will return in two or three weeks without signing a treaty, and that a French Commissioner will be sent to Philadelphia, to settle the matters which now form the greatest obstacles." He also observes, that the Council of Prizes have cleared the American "Ship Union, Capt. Lynde; and have condemned the ship Republican and cargo, for irregularity in her papers and the cargo of the Statira, without allowing freight."
SALEM, September 29.
By Capt. Endicott, of the Cincinnatus, who arrived yesterday in 34 days from Cadiz, we learn, that previous to his departure from that place, letters had been received from Paris, which announced the failure of the American Envoy, in the object of their mission—that they were to take their departure from France, in the Portsmouth fleet of War, Capt. M c Neil, in about a fortnight, accompanied by a commissioner from the French Government. That in consequence of this event, the trials of the armed American ships were suspended, and it was conjectured that they would not be tried until the result of the French Commissioner's Embassy was known. The French Cruisers do not molest unarmed American vessels.
The Expedition against Portugal was in great forwardness. A detachment consisting of three regiments, marched from Cadiz to join the invading Army, a few days before Capt. Endicott failed.
Cadiz is severely afflicted with the Yellow Fever—from 60 to 100 die daily—more than a third of the inhabitants have fled from the city. The sickness however did not extend to the Shipping in the Roads, where it were it was very healthy.

PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4.
The Latest.
From our Correspondent.
NEW-YORK, OCTOBER 3.
I hasten to send you a Summary of European Intelligence, just issued from the Office of the New York Daily Advertiser. It is made from Glasgow Papers to the TWENTY-NINTH of August, received by the Brandywine Miller, in 31 days from Greenock.
SUMMARY.
The complexion of the political affairs in Europe appears to have taken a considerable CHANGE.
Prussia, disclaims all intention of entering into the Armed Neutrality which has been talked of. She denies any intention of acting but through the medium of NEGOCIATION: or of having any design but to promote a general pacification.
The Paris papers inform us that Russia expresses great dissatisfaction with France on account of her conquests on the Rhine, and that the best understanding prevails between the two Imperial Courts: That of Peterburgh takes a lively interest in the affairs of Germany. Corroborative of the above, we observe that the Emperor Paul has an army of 80,000 men, which approach more and more the frontiers of Germany.
The Danes have suspended their intercourse with England, and the English having resolved to "STRIKE" have sent Admiral Dickson, it is supposed to attack Cronberg, an important place, where the duties of the Sound are collected, and which guards the entrance to the country—It is 15 miles from Copenhagen, and has been taken two or three times by the Swedes.
Citizen Duroc has returned from Vienna. The result of his mission has not yet been published. The fear, however, of its unfortunate termination has produced a "remarkable declension" in the French funds.
Ireland does not appear to be entirely rid of Banditti, who commit partial but horrible cruelties.
Switzerland is torn by intestine factions. Some of the important members of the old Legislature, it seems, objected to this change, held regular sessions and have cutlawed the new government.
We have not time at present to take full notice of the shameful prevarication in the Aurora of this morning, respecting Mr. Abercrombie; One article, however, must not pass unnoticed. The Aurora says, it is declared by Mr. A's friend, that Moses Solomon's note was acknowledged to be a forgery in Brown and Relt's office." This was not asserted. The statement was as follows.
"Of this note, the first time Mr. A heard or knew, was in the Philadelphia Gazette. On the first inspection, he believed it to be genuine. On bearing that it was fictitious, Mr. A. loudly condemned it in Brown's office."
The fact is Mr. A. having heard it suggested that the letter of Moses Solomon's (which he, upon the first perusal some time before believed to be genuine) was probably a fiction, observed to a gentleman he accidentally met with in Messrs B. and R's. office, not connected with the office, but who came in while Mr. A was there, that if the note in question, were so, he condemned it, and highly disapproved of such collusive measures, particularly on so serious a subject. But Mr. A. does not yet know whether it was a fiction or not.
The rest of this tissue of Aurora misrepresentation, shall be duly noticed.
The Ruth and Mary, of and to Philadelphia, from Havana, is captured by the St. Albans, and sent into Halifax.
Governor Munroe offers 300 dollars for one Jack Bowler, alias Jack Dicker, who has been one of the chiefs of the late Insurrection.
Thursday the twenty-seventh day of November next, is appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts, as a day of Public Thanksgiving throughout that Commonwealth.
Married, on Saturday evening last, by the Rev. Dr. Ustick, Mr. Anthony Slater, (of Liverpool, E.) to Miss Eliza Warner, of this City.
A letter from Salem informs us of an arrival at Marblehead yesterday, with certain information of the capture of Surinam by Victor Hugues.
(Boston pap.)
GOOD NEWS
It is now rumored that the universal defecation, evinced through every federal channel, in consequence of the Aurora communication, of the promotion of Pries, has alarmed his Honor. What he may yet have it in his power to recall he appointment, remains to be seen, but at all events we are glad to find any symptoms of feeling among the callous brood of Jacobins.
From the Aurora.
"Be cautious from Experience." "The season of election, is, with the enemies of the people's liberties, the season of deception."
Beware of Fabricated News!!
[Arrah P., who are you after doing now; why do you tell of yourself and friends.—If you had not told the people to beware, they would have believed the affair of Robbins, they would not have believed that you concealed Morse's Letter; they would not have believed Fricker's Letter was a forgery—they would have believed Gailatin's statement—they would have believed Josy Bloomfield and Sayre—they would have believed from the long list of your committee's, that the people were all turning Jacobins; but you have exposed yourself, and as an example, take the following deception attempted to be practiced on the people of Jersey.
In the Aurora of this morning, Josy Bloomfield's address, with Secretary Sayre's are published, and a list of the names of persons are attached as committee's of correspondence. To gratify these good Jacobins, we have the pleasure of assuring them, that one half at least of those they have nominated, will not be made tools of by Josy and his man Sayre to deceive the good people of Jersey. The following gentlemen we assert from the most undoubted authority from the authority of the persons themselves, both verbally and in writing, have already come forward, and positively protested against them, and their vile disorganizing projects.
Nottingham Township—John Giles. Mansfield Township—Asa Gibbs. Springfield—Caleb Shinn. Northampton—Enoch Elkerton; Benjamin Stockton. Hanover—John Myers. Egg-Harbour—John Furman. Chester—Hugh Hollingshead; Aaron Anderson. Eversham—Uriah Willins; William Bodine.
MR. WARNE.
I believe this day exhibits the first instance in a free country, of the people being summoned to an Election, by beat of drum. It was not by mere chance, that a Democratic Assembly ordered the Militia Musters to be on the same day that is fixed upon throughout the State for electing township and ward Inspectors. It was well known that this measure would be the means of deterring great numbers of orderly people from going to the election ground.
AN ELECTOR.
From the Boston Mercury. Last night the ship Friendship, Captain Williams, arrived in the lower harbour from London. A gentleman passenger forwarded to us papers of August 15, 20, 21, 22, and 23. These do not contain much of importance, and we are confined to a brief summary.
There is little else than speculations on the subject of peace. Buonaparte has said he will not include England nor Naples in his negotiation with the Emperor. The English have stopped their last subsidy at Hamburg. A Russian army of 100,000 men is forming on the Vistula, and has already excited alarm in France. Peace is reported to be concluded with the Elector of Bavaria.
The funds continue to rise at Paris, but they have fallen at Vienna.
The French have concluded preliminaries of peace with the Dey of Algiers.
Explanations with Denmark had not taken place; but the British minister had reached Copenhagen; where the greatest alarm was produced by the capture of the Danish frigate. It was rumored that an English frigate, in consequence, had been detained in the Sch. The English have lately captured a number of Danish vessels at the mouth of the Elbe, even with river pilots on board, and ordered them to England. It is said with confidence, that if the English Envoy do not compromise the difference with Denmark, that Admiral Dickson, is to be at hand with a fleet to take immediate possession of the fortress of Cronenberg, which guards the passage of the Sound on the Danish side.
Buonaparte has demanded of Portugal, as the price of peace, 1,250,000 sterling; that her ports shall be opened to French vessels; that France shall enjoy the same privileges as the most favored nation; and that a definitive answer shall be given within sixty days to these propositions; and threatens her with an army of 60,000 men if she refuses. The Portuguese have asked advice of England, and in the interim are making the best possible preparations for defence. The First Consul has also demanded leave of the Pope to march an army through his territory against Naples.
There has been a revolution in Switzerland. a la mode de Paris. The late constitution is destroyed.
The Duke of York, it is said, is again to command an expedition on the Continent.
