" Events, and communications, since the meeting of Congress, have nearly si lenced the wretched few, who have for some time pad, clamoured against the mea sures of the Federal Government. The Prcfident's speech, and the answer of the two Houses of Congress, have been a clincher. Notwithftaoding forr.e c'louds in our po litical horizon, I trust we (hall continue a neutral nation ; for altho' we receive in justice from all the warring nations, yet war, would outweigh all those evils ; and as republicans, we must calculate upon the scale of iiilerej}.

Every art is tried to fever this country from France. It is now said, in order to excite us to a deteftat'ibn of the last revo lutionary movement in France, and of the present rulers of that Republic, that those opposed to them, were executed, be cause they were of opinion that a federal governrhen;, was best ; insinuating, that confcquently our general government must be abhorred by the men at the head of af fairs there. The fa<St is, that those men were rot executed for holding this opinion, but for endeavouring to maintain it against thi will of a vast majority, by open force We have fnre'v net forgotten the attempts of Wimpfen, of Buzot and otherst and the departmental forces that were laifed to march against the convention.

Henry GrolsCrove, Printer of the Norwich Newspaper, 7th Dec. 1709." • From Correspondents« To build up, enlarge, strengthen, sup port and defend the government of the people, is surely the work of patriotism in every country, and in every age—but the reverse of all these is the test of repub licanism with some who are not afhamcd to dub themselves friends of " the rights of man." To be faithfully served by those vrfio are freely elected by the people, is the di rect way to incur the malevolence and a buse of men, who never gave any other evidence of their patriotism than their own declaration! Surely there is more glory in remaining firm at the poftof duty when the arrows of detraction aH.il the fliield of public virtue, than in braving death amklft a ihower of the leaden nitffcu gers of fate. Oil this account, America is perhaps more indebted, for h<?r happiness and free government to her present rulers, than for all their exertions in the field—fince the prefervat'wn of liberty,' peace, and fafety, is a much arduous talk than their acqn'ifi- By this Day's Mail.
