WE often read in yotir paper, and scarcely in any other printed in the city, of persons amongst us who seek to degrade the American name and character. and of persons who seek to involve us in war, conjured up, I suppose, like hobgoblins in terrorum The fact is, the reign of terror is past, and these things will probably soon grow entirely put of use by the abuse made of them. Mr. Maclay's proposition explains the meaning of the oppofers of the treaty; for it was unques tionably brought forth and intended to be relied upon by thtm. By it will be seen, that those charged with seeking war, would in fa&, for peace - fake, have probably vo'ed for the appropriation, had the (late of our eomrcerce warranted it 5 but • with daily and aggravated impediments and spolia tions before tfctir eyes, they were desirous to fuj , fend appropriations until fatisfa&ion for pad, and fecuri'ties against future injuries was obtained. Mr. Dearborn, in fact, made even a motion to agtee to the appropriations conditicnally, with a reliance on the executive interference in behalf of our commerce. Even this was denied, and th«n it was when the vote was forced unconditionally on the members—that many voted against jt who might have voted for it, had the proposed condi tion of the vote been agreed to. A reference to the debates, as'publifhed by Mr. Bache, will fully prove ami explain this. As to the (hameful wffte of time and public money iu cife lilting im p'ortancp of the occasion certainly warranted Jhe btdligation it met with, and impartial poftcfity j will judge cf the force and wildc ni cf ' the argus rtients adduced os en aef fide j but if too milch oub> lie time hath be»i»-already fpetit about it, it Wf»uld t perhaps be best, Mr. Fenno, not to' increaftr that f evil by extending it. I A. B. c This is not the firft Instance, in which the 3 politeness and urbanity of this writer has fed him I to stigmatize the Gazette of the United States, « when he has seen proper to make it t!je vehicle of t his remarks to the public. It may be true that this v Gazette is aimoft the only one in this Gity, (and it ' is an honorable peculiarity) which contains obfer various similar to those A. B. objects to—lt is not however diilingtiifhcd for circulating those detesta ble profluftions in which it is attempted to 1 degrade 1 f.* the American name and charafler" below those 1 of any other nation which ever ex'tt<"d. Nor is it distinguished by a pretended Veneration for out re- ( publican government, and at the fame time reviling ,f the majority #f the people. It is not diftinguifiled by abufe'of the Government for not pursuing meat fores that would involve the country in war, and at the fame time deprecating war as the greatest of e evils. What is the honorable chsratferiftic of ( other paper*printed in the city.—l» the Philadel- 1 phia Gazette of Friday, there ic an article copied t from the Kentucky Gazette, (which originally ap f peaied in an paper,) and is as follows.—„ c " LEXiNCTftN, Aliguft 6. " If the French should fuccee*! in their negoci ation with Spain, and obtain poffeflion »f Louisia na, we shall be bound by a much stronger tie of in terelt to observe a good undcrftanding with her go vernment. The proximity of Gtuation will give them greater opportunity of annoying us, fliould a continued couife of unfriendly condudl towards them render fifch a vefolution necelTary.—Every ' American should be filled with corfufion at rtflee ting on our deportment to this nation to whom we ' owe so much. Wliilft on the one hand,we have- ' meanly crouphed to Britain whenever (he pleased to ' adopt the stile of a braggadocia, we have behaved to France.with an infalence aimoft incredibl*. It is in vain that we seek for"tTie motives of this con duct ; theyare hidden beyond the ken of the com mon eye. Reason-, gratitude, justice, all oppose it: the frie idfhip displayed by Britain could not allure us 1 for (he has treated us in a manner so base that the pirates of Algiers themfclves would blush to avow ptaflices so contrary to the laws of nature and nations. And yet we have tamely home it all ! " How natural-was the warm enthufiaitic ex- 1 preflions of Genet, when a manly indignation led him to cryout, " if your ftllow-citizeYii have been deceived, if you are not in a condition to maintain ] the sovereignty iff the people, speak : we have 1 guaranteed ir when slaves ; Vfe know how to render I it rt'fpe&able, having become free." If this lan- 1 guage was applicable when it was used, how mu*h more so is it new.—Truly it appears that it is Wat ter, it is Milk which creeps thtoiigh the veins of » Americans." [Kentucky Gaz.J 1 That the abore is a falfe reprefentatron, so far as c ij refpedls the Government' of the United States, ' and the people of this country, no one will deny— 1 Is it not then an infamous attempt to degrade the American name and character ? And tlio' this re mavk may be confined to this Gazette only, it dc.cs not follow, that the greater jufiice is done to the people of the Unitrd StA«'s, by not publrlhing si- - milar remarks in any other paper of the city. It is hoped A. B. will feel the propriety ot taking his own hint at the conclufiori of his effsy.

STATE of HEALTH, Monday Evening, September _j, *796. Since our last publication-os the 3d inft. three per sons only have died ot a malignant fever, and one child ot a quincy—none have been tsker. lick with the • above fever since last Thursday, and three only are now fitk, and we hav« great real'on to hope from the present appearances to be able to give a more favoura- ' blc account of the disorder. By the Committee of Health, Captain Lunt, arrived yesterday in 13 .days from Gnidaloupe, informs, that the plague had broke out 1 3t St. Thomas's, which carries off numbers daily. SALEM, (Mass) September 6. By the best accounts we can obtain refpefling the ' fever at Npwhury Port, it appears th t Capt, Mul- :' berry arrived at that port from Jamaica, the 31ft of j May, and loft two of his men on his homeward i I passage, by the fever prevalent in Jamaica. On the Ift of June he discharged his cargo, which was rum, ( at a wharf near to a place in which the offals of fifh, j ; in a highly putrid state, had been laid for the pur pose of manure. On the 15th of June, the health i Committee begun the lift of deaths from the fever, . which has prevailed only ; upon this spot. It has continued in this place to the present time, apd 26 pfrfons have died, either upon this spot, of after having been refideftt upon it—-15 of each sex, of' the following ages, none below 12 years of age, 6 between 12 and 20 years, 6 between 26 and 30, 5 between.' 30 and 40, 4 between 40 and 50, 1 be tween 50 and 60, and 4 between 60 and 70. The physicians have not yet reported to the public the charafler arid treatment of the fever, Do&. Swett : died on the 16th of August, with the symptoms of the yellrfw fever after 4 days illness. He had no success while he attended the fever. By some, the fever has been called the jail, and by others the yel low' fever. The patients are seized with delirium, < with vomiting, and with drowfinefg. The Do&or t was seized witlvvotijiting, and inftantlv pronounced 1 upon his owji fate. Upon inquiry from the Health ' Committee, and from reports of the physicians I inhabitants, it is generally attributed to the putrid fifh, which has not been removed, but coverpd up. I It isfaidno persons have fuffered who had connec j ".ions with the vessel, if thev have net lived Or eon | tifiUeirear the putrid ftlh. " » ' ' ... The fever lias not been so (uglily contapious aa to have been conveyed from this spot. The per- t! tons who have fur various purpofesattended the lick, have all escaped. Only $ were reported 00 Satur- C day a/ fickby the Health Ccramittee. Great con- I Iternation has been difcovertd by the i:,«abitants ; f and many have removed. Water ftrect has been b (hat Up, but the fever certainly haunts the spot in • 1. which the filth was laid, and is in 110 other part os l o the town.
