ExtralJ of a letter from Bcjiun, dated Ja-
nuary, 1794.
" 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}. Kings, will go to .vtr
from ambitious views, hut we must ast on
more-enlightened and solid principles. It
is happy for us we have men at heim who
have extnifive andjuft views of national
interest. I cannot help entertaining a hope,
that the crooked and narrow-minded men,
may ast with more candor and patriotilm,
this session, than heretofore."
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. We have
not forgotten the refinance of Lyons, the
treachery of Toulon, 2 links of the infa-
mous plot'
But to return, it may be with ;uftiro
observed, that though a federal govern
ment in this conhtrjr, may be bed calcu
lated for tlie happiness of the whole yet
the fame cftabliflimeilt in France, at the
present time, would have been the death
of republicanlfm :AD the friend: of ari

How much are we indebted, fays a cor

treme good will of his Britannic Majesty

tection of the American and Britilh trade !
This will serve to swell the lilt of his boun

the fide of the p,ote£l : on which he has
afforded by the means of the Indians on
our frontiers, & the Algerints & Britilh
Corsairs on bur trade—lt is to be hoped
that certain gentlemen who so anxioully
conjure up evrry thing that will serve the
cause of Britain, will not fail to avail
themselves of this- againll the resolutions

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-
