Ail those pieces which relate to the fubje<3 of negociation with Great Bri tain, Mr. Jay as envoy, the executive in making the appointment, those members of C'ongrefs who favored n^oc':a:ion,&lately ill refpeiting the funding system, are intended to makefalle impressions upon the public mind. As lorg as such writers wili fculk behind the iimpenetrable veil of anonymous pub lications, a refutation may, in a measure, be evaded : Lut if your currcipbndents will come forth, all or any of them, by name, and avow all Or any of the fails so induftriou!:)' Iprrad among the people, I will pledge myfelf to the public, that a complete refutation (hall be given to a'V the m'aterial facts allcdgcd in those pui)!,.rations,vouched by names; names who (hall ft.m l uriimpearh.ed in point of ve racity, and who never owned a farthing of public paper nor ever held an office under tbe govetrifc.nt of the United Sutes. And more particularly I pledge myfelf to the public, to give demoiiftratiou, that every assertion, of any importtiace, of your publication this morning, taken from a pamphlet, entitled " a definition of parties, &c." is twftn/ded and in molt inftanies palpably falfe. Any statement of farts, given to the public thro' a newspaper, Oio'ild be true, but when the molt importint interefis of community are aimed at by fa'f; publications, the cvlprit who dares thus ihotildlie dfaggc/i into day- • light.

Let ys burn in effia-y every member of Congref* who dots not think as we do, fay the mob ofClfv'eiton. Let us tr.ke of/ all tories, at a general f u'tcp fays the General Advertiser. Just so in England Scotland and Ire land. Th.e court minions lay, away with j all authors and printers that publish the Rights of Man—they ate dangerous, libel a:;d transport evefy man who speaks and writes wiiat we d</nt like. 1 Ju!l so in France, Drown, (hoot and guillotirte everyilderaKft—every moderate —all the monied ariltocracy—What, one have more money than a uother ?and with to keep it too ! Away with such men ! A man who thinks a Fu!ir.il Government bet ter than an Ind:<ujfeblf Repuilic,is not fit to live—Why, the monfier, the ruffian does not think as we do ! so fay the Mountain. Away with all nev.'{p?pers, all pedlars and tinkers, fays the king or Spam—-away with these traitors,incendiaries,thefe hawk ers of trench books and Jacobin princi ples Let none of these fellows disturb our way of thinking. So also the Empress of Russia, the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Cermany. Strange indeed to tell, but an incontesta ble fact, that the democratical people in America, the warmelt friends ofthe French are the very men, and the only men who commit or threaten violense for freedom of writing and speaking. The mobs in C harlefton and Virginia have attempted the tyranny of George 111. or the King of Spain, by means something different, but equally detejlable. The burning men in ef figy and the threats pronounced against their perfons,the guillotine and the general ftveep of Philadelphia ; what are these but attempts to restrain the privilege of speak ing and writing. ]f a printer publiflies what taey do not like, they will threaten to pull down his house. What is all this, but the tyranny of George 111. or of a Ruffian Empress, excrcifed in a more summary and more frightful manner ! Has not a man in America the fame right to publish ■ his sentiments, as Mr. Paine in England Mr. Muir in Scotland ? You fay these men are perfccuted—but is it not persecu tion to burn a man in effigy, or threaten to tcirdcwn his house! You fav theft men in Great Britain wrote in faro- ef liberty. ' they did fo—arxl so do people here wl.c write again ft mobs—Liberty rpnfilts-in a right to do what a man pJtufts, not con trary to the laws of the count ry and to the legal rights of our fell jw citizens.— Then Paine and Muir were right,andeverv man in America, in Congrds or out, has the fame sacred right to speak and publilh his opinions. Any, the leaf! attempt toa bridge that right, is defpottfm, whether by a long expenlive trial—transportation and impriforiment; or by tarring and feathering men, or by threatening them with a generalfweep. It is very remarka ble, but true, that in foreign countries the Court or Government attenpts to reitrain the freedom of speaking and printing—in this country, the friendsof our government encourage that freedom—and certain clubs of the people endeavor to rettrain it.— The tables are turned—ln Europe the Kings and the v Nobles think their rights in danger from freedom of difcuflion ; here the Genet begotten ekibs abuse every man as an enemy to his country, who opposes their arrogant afTumption of powers.— Thefc clubs are become the tyrants of America.

There never was a greater truth, fays a Correspondent, than that published in the Genertil Advcrtifer of th s morning, viz:— " That a famous minority fays imlujiry a lene, (hall pay for the protection of govern ment"—Tji.s factious minority" have for more than four years pall been constantly lay - ing the fam'e thing. This very " factious minority" have uni formly opposed every tax on luxuries and fupcrSuitics—on foreign manufadurcs which interfere with our own, and every propoii t'.'jn for the encouragement of the arts and manufa&ures of the United States. A retrofpeiiive view of the government will faiitfion the foregoing. This " factious m!nor:ty ' wifli to plunge this country into war, or which is worse, confulion—but while their measures tend to war, they op pose every proportion for raising those fup piies which are neceflary to put the country even ip a Oate of defence ! So long as the people are wife to difeern their true interests, performs of fucji a cast of i «tiara<icr wit always be ifce minority in-our government. The moil extraordinary and patriotic exertions are making by tlje citizens of New-York, to expedite the fortifications, eredting for the defence of that port. The Citizens turn out by profeffions, and pcifarm tours of labor on the works'; and from the notices which have appeared in the Gazettes of that city, calling on the various clafles and profeffions, it°may be presumed that many thousand Dollars arefaved to 1 lie public chest, by these pa triotic and voluntary fcrvices.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. a- LONDON, March 18. DECLARATION of his Prussian Majesty, delivered to the States of the Germanic Circles, aiiembled at Frankfort. His Majesty the King of Prussia could not but hear with the higheit difpieafure, that dehgns were imputed to him tending to fc cuhrize Bishoprics and Chapters, to suppress them, and to appropriate to himfelf certain S- rh * £m P" e > in or(fer to indemnify himleli for the lmmenfe expences which he has made for near two years, to carry on the war againlt the French, and to defend against them the Germanic Empire and his illustri ous allies. His Majesty, confident that his designs are pure, might pals in silence over such ru mours, and eontent himfelf with the convic tion that they would find no belief on the part of the well-disposed States of the Em pire : but to give an overplus of fatisfaftion, and to confound the malevolent, who invent (imilar stories purposely, and perhaps to ex cite distrust, the undersigned has orders form ally to declare, that while his Majesty makes war upon the French, he has never any view but the defence of the Germanic Empire, and the maintenance of the Constitution ; that it never was his Majesty's design to make conquests for himfelf; and that if con quells are made from France, the Empire will have its share ; that he never conceived the least idea of indemnifying himfelf at the expence of the Empire, whafe Constitution has always been sacred to him, and for whose maintenance he has already made so many faenfices, as is generally known. The undersigned finally declares, that his Majesty will never belie those intentions in future, and be always ready to secure and guarantee to the Germanic Empire its terri tory and Constitution, and to its States in particular, both spiritual and temporal, their polTeffions and rights ; in a word, the invio lable maintenance of the whole Germanic body, provided the Empire, and above all those fix circles which are molt exposed to danger at the present, will co-operate as much as the Constitution and patriotism re quire of them.
