From the General AJvertifer.
Mr. Bache,
During a period of a month or more you
have pybiiiked many pieces as from corres
pondents. 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 all true pafiibts lie dlltinguifhed
by a cockade," 4y the, Virginians—Let j
W tar aftd tegtfop~<- very nu.it wWo oppefe s
it. • t- • • .
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.

eahly fee that the letter which I have read
