From Mc Providence Phenix.


The publick will perceive from reading
the above sletter how little it merits the cpl
thets Of vulgar and malignant abuse which
have been heaped upon it in the Newport
Mercury.
The proofs Of the intention Of the leading
men of the opposition party in the Eastern
States, to effect " dissolution of tue Union"
are before the people. They will Judge
whether the resolves Of the Massachusetts
legislature, of different publick meetings !;
numerous newspaper essays, and private
conversations, do not all combine to manifest.
such design.
An alliance with Great Britain, is stated in
this letter, not as the direct aim Of that party
but as " the inevitable consequence" Of the
war with France and her allies, which Gov
ernour Gore, and others, endeavourcd to in
volve US in, by calling upon Congress TO
ngfari the Republican banner against the i'm
heriai standard" Thus passing over the
numerous and aggravated wrongs we had
suffered from Britain. and concentrating the
whole OF our resentment towards France.
A call upon Republicans touse all honour

present degraded and disgraccful condition."
