lie Papillon has this infant arrived,
bringing accounts of the continuation Of
peace 10 Europe, and departs this night
TO bear the information to your iland.
We have been at work here for fome
days TO put ourfelves in fate Of defence;
but ii is happy for our colony, and fill
more for yours, that this meafure becomes
unneceiiary.
The cry of monarchy and ariaocracy,
Of approaching tyranny and mcditatcd op-
prefion, has been the theme Of declama-
tion for demagogues and jacobins from
the hra inaituiion Of government to the
prefent time. Itswas! the pretext which
Satan made ufe OF TOR t-volting sgainf the
government OF Heaven, and the rulers OF
the uniyerfe; and il has formed the ex-
cufe of the faetious and dacontented Of all
ages and.nations. Men are eafly led away
by names, and are even ready to beaow
their confidence on ham who is mott Ia
Win in their praifc and mott liberal in his
profers of friendhip and fervice. Too
.indolcnt, or too confident to detect and
expofe hypocri(y, they fufer the thin guile
Of Aa,,ery TO conceal their mott dangerous
enemy, and while they embrace pre-
tended friend, they direct l'he poifoned
dagger to their own hearts. Pleaied with
garlands which decorate their brows they

reflect on the fate which awaits them.
Its in vain to addrefs thofe, who are
bent on deluGon, with the voice of rea-
Ton, to point out their danger and warn
them of their impending ruin. The foftI
Gghs Of Aatterers at once quiet all their
fears, and lull all their fufp icions. Under
the influence of this potent and intoxicat
ing draught they can reconcile the grof.
itit contradictions, and advocate the mott
arbitrary and tyrannical conduit. 1t is
but to head the mott opprefive mandates
with the fweet found Of" H5yy and Z. |
quality" and it is Immediately adopted |
as the offspring of patriotifln.
1t was hoped by thotc who conducted
u. through the revolution, that the mode I

the United States, would have fccured us /
from the evils and cxcefes into which other !
republics had fallen. This conjecture |
would no doubt have been correct, il we /
had been left to ourielves, uninauenced
By the acts and intrigues OF difcontented
and rettlefs foreigners. We do not YET
