" Your fliip with all the Americans in

Mr. Seymour, we are happy to hear,
has compleatcd the likeness of the late

tisfaftion of every connoHTeur, who has
seen it. The face, which he delineated

of this admirable art, as has ever been ex
hibited to the infpeftion of the American
public. A liberal fubfeription has ap
peared for the encouragement of this young

No amateur of the fine arts, it is hoped,

Mr. Young,
The National Aflembly of France hav
ing taken proper noticp of Genet's conduit,
it appears perfectly iinneceffary to fay any
thing more about the man ; I therefore
leave him to " cover himfelf with the man
tle of mourning," aud (hall only observe,
that notA'ithftanding theJlrange conduit
of Genet—yet among ourselves are to be
found, men so 101 l to the peace and hap
pinefs-of our countiy t who on every occa
iion have atttempted to juftify him, but as
thele men happen to be unfortunate
SEEKERS for offices, they will manccu,
vre, and like the drowning man, they will
catch at straws.
Upon the adoption of the Federal Con
stitution there were offices of great public
tmft to be filled, but unfortunately, there
being more candidates than offices, the
OUTS were difcomfited; and ever/nice,
these OUTS Have been lello-wing and
bawling against LARGE SALARIES,
BANK AND FUNDING SYSTEMS,
FOREIGN LOANS, INDIAN
WARS, &c. and they have even added,
that if the money which has been unneces
sarily hid out for PACK SADDLES,
&c. had been appropriated to the building
of Frigates, we might now have had a
N Avy, fufficient to protect our commerce.
Several eledtioncermg periods having
pafied, which permitted these men to re
main where they are, their croaking and
their barking began in some measure to
slacken, but upon a thick cloud's gather
ing in the call, which threatened to reach
our weftcrn heinifphere, they again took
courage, and itill hoped that the fcafon
would be propitious to their views—Ge
net was the burtheu of their song, with
arrogance in the extreme they called
themselves the only republicans, and with
an impudence equal to their arrogance,
they dared to I tamp men with the charac
ter of enemies to liberty, who had fought
to obtain it, and this merely becaafe
they were inimical to antifederalifm, to fo
reign influence, to privateering and to
war, and were friends to the peace and to
the happiness of America.
I love France, Sir, and wish the nation
FRFE, but I love my own coUfitry bet
ter ; unhappy for her that ih hef bosom
so many rejiltfs Jpirits reside ; men, who
to answer their own paltry purposes, are
perpetually endeavoring to disturb her do
mestic quiet.—The HORRORS OF
WAR every good man must deplore,
and it should be our earnest prayer to the
PRINCE OF PEACE, that he would
long preserve us from them—if, however,
by the artful and perjidious condudt of any
nation we (hould be driven into a war, I
pray God that we may be united in our
endeavours to maintain the honor of the
American flag, and that character in arms
to which America is so juflly entitled.
Equally an enemy to despotism and to
anarchy, I wi(h the period max arrive,
when " GENUINE LIBERTY AND
EQUAL RIGHTS" (hall be the por
tion of every nation, and when the colours
of none ftiall be unfurled, without this
Heavenly motto is enftamped upon them.

For the entire year ending

For the lafl quarter of the
year 1793, that is the three
months of October, Novem-
ber and December last,
It is known that Philadelphia is the
only sea port of Pennsylvania, and of course
it will appear to certain demonftrition,
that the agriculture and commerce of that
prosperous state was much greater than
usual, even during the time when the fever,
imported into this capital, prevailed here.
In the month of October that disorder
was at its heighth.
From Correspondents.
A Correspondent wishes to know whe
ther the Democratic Society are actually
ly going to declare themselves Free, Sove
reign and Independent.-
Secrecy is very much condemned m
public concerns. The myßery of the
Democratic Society is suspicious : They
are so jealous they fufpeft thcmfelves.—
They are afraid, it is pretended, that
they should gain an undue influence, if
their proceedings and names were known.
Such wonderful lights of this dark age
would dazzle, if not hid. Nolle but men
of uublemifhed character sre admitted.
It is another Areopagus and ought to have
a charter. In short, if they were known
they could not be resisted. As it is even
now, they are able by caballing together
to carry points of elections.
No rule is more just than to fiifpe£ the
suspicious. Those who have or pre f end
to have the worst opinion of the designs
of our government, are not all Socratefes.
Tell the political views of the leaders of
our factions by their private lives—Are
they men of more unspotted fame than
tliofe they revile ? Are they more worthy
of confidence, or is more a£lually placed
in them than in the men of the people's
choice ! Those who know both, may com
pare them. When a man or a government
is supported by men of sense and virtue,
and by the body of honest, good citizens,
it is full proof of the purity of both. No
man, and 110 government, can be quite free
frftm enemies ; but it is very happy to
have them of a fort, that tho' they may
embarrass both, can dishonor neither.
While the Worthy farmers, (such for
example are those of Jersey and Connefli
cut) support the national authority,neither
theregularei)liftedfoldiers,northehir'dmob
who may be termed the militia of a foreign
incendiary can refill or destroy it. Any
government opposing the vile defigrts of
these latter, will be hated and slandered
by them ; and if it did not oppose them,
it would deserve to be hated, and could
not be slandered. The farmers and other
good citizens would leave it to the guillo
tine of the Democratic Society.
