Sir,
Miii'tcr Adet fays—" The flag of the French
republic will treat the flag of neutrals, 'in the fame
ml n»er aathey shall fuffer it to be treated by the
£ ; iglilh —He maintains that France is juftilied
in taking American veflels to prevent the Briti(h
from profiting by taking them.—Now, according
to the rules of this diplomatic logic, England
ought also to take our vtffela to prevent their falling
into the hands of the French, who may profit by
their capture, to the detriment of the British, who
might urge, in citizen Adet's own language,—
•' the flag of the Briii/b nation will treat the flag
of neutrals in ihe fame manner as they shall iuffer
it to be treated by the Frineh."
If the fame argument can possibly jaftify the
French m-nite inftnnce, it will, on the fame princi-'
pic, jnfiify 'he Britijh.— But, when the British take
Amciican vcflels, and the capture is illegal, there
is an appeal from their court of admiralty to com
iriiffioncis, delegated by both parties, to arbitrate
and determine upon the terms of indemnification.
—But, what appeal, what mode of redrsfs—let
me a fit, have we from the arbitrary and illegal cap
tures of the French, if minister Adet'a memorial
is to be ftri&ly adhered to ?
If these questions cannot be answered in favor of
th' French, what rauft every man in his sober senses
thidk of the modejl^of a diplomatic appeal to the
people of America, through the medium of a netuf
paper? »
Fellow-citizens !—is this calculated, do you
ihink, to excite your friendjhip, or your indigna
tion ? Those who begin to blush at it, now endea
vor to apologize it away, by hinting that it is only
an (kctiorteering manauvre ; but sooner would I be
lieve that Dumourier (who is fafd to be in this
country)—or that the your.g duke of ©rleans (who
lately arrived at Philadelphia) had brought over
minister Adet's letter along with his own pnffport
/ from the French directory, than attribute the publi
cation of it to any such unminifter-like and inter
meddling motive with the governmental affairs of
our country. A LOOKER-ON.

P R O S P E C T-H I L L,

HPHE dwelling house ii built of (lone, two stories high,
* gemeely fimfhed, and contain s four handsome rooms on
a floor, befrdes an entry, with capital garrets, and convenient
cellar*. It is generally thought to command the moil a
giceable profpeft of the Delaware, froip the source of that
liver to the Capes. This profpett ia gieatly e.nbcllifhed By
a Full view of a vafl bodv of meadow, through which
ChriilianS and Brandywine crceks are leen winding in beau

nent. The garden contains an acre and quarter of land, a
boundhg with fruit, and particularly with peach trees, of
1 the very best kind, brought from Maryland, and in full bear

• orchard begining to bear, and leveral old trees that produce
abundantly, befidea cherry and other ornaqie>>:al trees, in
