contained traces of feudality: the Con

of houses in which feudal symbols should
be found. We ought to know, for exam

PHILADELPHIA,
JANUARY 25.
L».l night, about half after 11 o'clock,
a fire broke out in a frame building in
Second-street, near the New-Market —
Two framed houses were consumed—and
a brick building on the south-west corner
o; Pine and Second-street, very much i 11-
jured. An high wind prevailing at the
moment, the scene was truly alarming
but providentially, thro' the spirited exer
tions of thi citizens and fire-men, the pro
gress of the flames was unexpectedly ar
retted.

GENTLEMEN,
THE Master Warden of the Port, has
riprefented to mc, that the information
which he has received through various
channels, affords great renfon to apprehend
that a pestilential fever rages in several of
the Weft-India iilands, with which we
maintain a conflderablc intercourse. It
becomes ncceffarv therefore to remind you,
that the temporary powers vested in the
Governor, by the ast of the fifth day of
September lait, for the purpose of guard
ing against the introdi ft on of malignant
disorders, have expired ; and that the pre
cautions afithorifed by the preceding ast
(as you will more particularly perceive
from the report of the health officer, which
accompanies this meflage) are incompe
tent to the object.
I take the present opportunity likewise
to inform you, that utilefs some Legilla
tive provision is made, the Fort at Mnd-
Island cannot be maintained many days
longer; though as the navigation of the
river is free from the interruption usual
at this season, the establishment is now as
necessary as at any former period.

Mr. Bache's paper has a paragraph,
which, fays the friends of good govern
ment, disapprove the publications reced
ing the war. Many of them do. An
itch to meddle in European wars, is not
patriotic. To make a flourifh of zeal, in
the cause of either, (hews as little true
dignity, as prudence. It neither becomes
a nation profeffing to be neutral, nor one
that scorns to deal out blows that it would
not have returned. America, Hands too
high in the world's elteem, to be (hewn as
the bully or toad-eater of any power un
der heaven. Self refpeft will prevent in
sults on some, or a servile dependence on
any of them. Therefore, the paragraph
writer, may ehjoy the support of the
Georgia celebration, as much as he may
chufe. It was not by luch proceedings
that we escaped war. There is a sneer at
at the word good government —good go
vernment is not ruling by a club-—it is not
by incendiaries—fitting out armed veflels
.while the government remains at peace.
It is not a good government, if it has not
ftrcngth and firmnefs enough to reilrain
such a faction from kindling a war.
Is there one man of our Jacobins who
tells you that all goes wrong in America
and all goesright in Francc—is there one
of them that would not {hake in his (hoes
if he had to change his rtfider.ee from
this opprefied to that free happy conntry ?
It is very much doubted, whether a
certain eminent French Jacobin, who has
figured away for feme time pa ft, will £0
home and expefe his own neck to the
danger of his own principles. It will be
fafer here, wheie the theory is admired—
