Rational Opinion.

" 1T NUT be great perverienefs and
depravity in any, who can repreient
the late acts of Government and the
neceaary meafures offelf defence taken
by Congrels as a coalition with Great
Britain. 1t may be ufeful, however,
to analize our ideas upon this fubjett.
If by coalition with Great Britain be
meant a return as Colonies, under the
government of that country, | declare
know no individual in America who
would content to it, nor do | believe
that Great britain would again receive
us in that character. Sure | am it
would be in her the blindef policy ihe
ever conceived for The has alreadythe
mof incontelfible proof that ihe cannot
govern us. IF by a coalition be meant
a perpetual alliance, oHenfve and de-
fenfive, can it be fuppoled that two
thirds OF the Senate of the United States
would advife or content to it without
necefity Befides, is any one certain
that Britain would agree to. it if we
ihould propofe it? believe Americans
in general have already ieen enough OF
perpetual alliances. Nevertheless, if
France has made or fhall make herfelf
our enemy, and has forced or fhall force
upon us a war in our defence, can we
avoid being ufeful TO Britain while we
are defending ourfelves ? Can Britain
avoid being uleful to us while defend
ing herlelf, or annoying her enemy !
Would it not be want of wifdom in
both to avoid any opportunity of aiding
each other [JoHN ADAMS.

The fon Of a Merchantin Birming-

there, has written the following account
81 it.
" S:esna, Sunday, May ~, 'oS.
I" Yesterday, at ten minutes paf one,
the mott terrible earthquake ever felt
IN Sienna took place. | was writing
in my room with Mr.. III. when on
fudden mott violent concuilive and
reverberatiye motion almof threw us
down, and affected us like an electric
flock I; the fervant who was with us
actually fell. 1t lated half minute,
and then the mott tremendous noife
was heard from the bowels of the earth.
Aware that it was an earthquake,
cried out, run, run our rooms were
inaantly filed with duff, and the NOR
tar and bricks fell about our ears. On
defending, we found all the city in
conformation, the ifreets full of duff
and fallen chimnies and almof the
firf Object | iaw was a poor man wal
lowing in his blood, who had been
thrown down from a fcafold. The

broken and torn open, and in lhort,
alnoa uninhabitable. We then went
10 the public walk called the Liza.
where was collected a VAT concourle of
people and carriages, all exhibiting In
defcribable fcenes Of pain and mifery.
The earth on the walk was much crack
ed, and all the houfes in the city fplit
almof from top to bottom. Returning
again home, We determined TO 90 to
lady Carolina Spannochi's when a fe-
cond flock made our room creak like
ve6el in a form. We found lady G.
III the utmof difrefs I; wall had fall
len upon her eldeit fon, and twelve
others of the fcholars in the college of
the city his bruifed arm had been
taken of, but it was not expected he
would live. Every where as we re-
turned to our lodgings, we heard the
cries of dilrefs, and at half paf eight
o'clock we heard a third ihock, more
dreadful than the former, determined
US at all events to quit the city. We
pa4led the night on numbers of fofas,
chairs, matrefes, &c. feeling an alnolt
continual vibration of the earth. In
the morning we returned TO the city,
and found it altnof depopuIated. The
