for it has to oppose, not scattered and dif
piritcd complainers, who may be kept un
der the harrow of law, and demolish
ed as fad as they lh jw themselves, but it
has to oppose an organised body, acting
in phalanx, thus tyranny is pulled down,
because it is overmatched,- and perhaps
there is no other way to pull it down.
But whtfn a free constitution is erected, it
is ridiculous, if not worse, to talk of con
tinuing or reviving the fame society that
existed to makt wav for it. Is it to be
expected that the conquerors of the Baf
tile should be rallied at the found of the
tocsin, to attack the temple of liberty—
a temple of which the aflailants them
selves are the priells and the keepers.
When the cauff of liberty shall (land in
need' of these clubs, the necessity will
speak for itfelf. America was at no loss
when flie had need of them, nor how to
life them. France saw them trample des
potism under foot. The danger is that
those who manage them, will infill upon
their be ; ng used when they are not wanted.
The poison that killed tyranny is a bad
diet for liberty. Down with your clubs,
therefore which like most tyrant kil
lers are ambitious of taking their pla
ces, who would like better it appears, to
be the heirs of departed power than co
partners in the new acquisition.

Mr. Fenno,
: THE fine arts have always been the
objects of jealousy : People of sense have
admired and fools have traduced them.
I hat which I think it my glory to pro-
I fefs, and which has yielded me so much
honor in Europe, has likewise been the
occasion of many enemies—but, from the
heighth of the clouds, I crushed them
by my biilliant fuccefles.
Reduced to creep along the giound in
this country, for reasons which have been
fufficiently detailed in newspapers, and
fully appreciated by persons of sense, al
low me to answer the ribaldry, infertcd
againfl me, in your No. 533.
I have made it always a rule to let lit
tle puppy-doffs bart at me, Sic,
ever giving myfelf the trouble to turn a
bout and drive them away, and if I an
swer to your impertinent .cribble, it is out
of conlideration for the public, and not
irf order to defend myfelf against you,
who are unknown, and who dare not
name yourfelf. In your preamble, you
call 'me an adventurer—you are right I
am an adventurer* as celebrated thro' the
universe, as you are unknown to the
world. You fay, that my talents have
gulled the public of its money—you do me
a great deal of honor, and I could wilh
that I had received the money you speak
of—but, unfortunately for me, this has
not been the cafc in this country ; and,
y ou , further add, that after having your
money, I twit you as ignorants•— God for
bid, that I (hould have such an opinion of
a people, who have made more progress
in one century, than Europe did in 400
years of its infancy, and who bid fair in
a few generations fully to rival Europe :
But moderate your ambition, Sir, you
are not so far yet.
1 he epithet of Balloon-man, which you
have bellowed on me, {hews your want
of taste and esteem for the fine arts, the
fame as your advice with refpeft to the
Cylinder of Steel, proves your entire igno
ranee in natural philosophy.
But, as you even criticise the immortal
Buffon, one of the greateß genius's of
his age, you deserve the pardon and the
pity which I bellow upon you in the
name of the public, whom I (hall address
arte wards.
Only a coward will remain anonimous
—my name is Blanchard, I live in Cher
rj i- y ' N °" 2 4> in the h °ufe of Mr.
Ivauttmati, and may be found at all hours.
TO THE PUBLIC.
It is known to the world that 1 amend
ed 44 tunes w Europe, for in that part of
!• V 1 c ; ould hnd "ery necessary ma
tonal; it is known that I performed one
ascension 111 Philadelphia, having brought
With me from Europe all the materials be
onging thereto :-The fame materials not
exiilmg on the continent of America, I
>ave tried to supply the want thereof by
other means, but as not one of the iron
works qould succeed to answer my views,
as every body may be convinced at my Ro
tunda in Chefnut-ftreet, it would not be
reasonable for the public, which has paid
nothing towards all my attempts, to blame
the artill, who has facrificed the money
and loft his time, Mr. Blanchatd cannot
produce effe&s without means—it is only
the Supreme Being who could create
Heaven and Earth out of nothing.
The Printers of this city are humbly
requested to give the above a place in their

to a clergymrn in this city, dated Feb.
4-
" Then? seems as if there were great
changes about to take place in the world.
Twenty four millions of people, bigoted
to the Popilh religion, carting it off at
once ! which in all probabilty will make
way for the pure gospel; though at pre
sent there appears such confufion.
But there is something that will more
astonish you. I have been informed by
persons of the great eft refpe&ability, the
Rev. Mr. Eyre, and the Rev. Mr. Ald
ritch, that in the ensuing summer, a
Congress of all the rich and learned Jews
is to meet at Amsterdam ; for whichpur
pofe they have sent round to all the prin
cipal places where there are Jewish con
gregations, for them to fend delegates to
'he Congress. The question to be agita
ted is,
Whether Jesus Chrijl •was the promtfed
Mejfiah ?
My dear fir, if thi3 should take place
and they agree to acknowledge hihi as
such, you and I may be said to have lived
to fee aftonilhing changes indeed !—I shall
inform you of every circumstance that
comes to my knowledge."
