To their honor be it said, the Clergy of the United States are
conflattly exerting themselves in preaching doivn Deism, and its fa
tal eff.-tis : while the Democrats and Jacobins (ivho now have
the im»udi*ce to call tbttnfehes Republicans) are dailyprcaching
in favour of Deism. or at leaf for a profejl Deijl (if not A
tbeifiJ for PreJtdent of th* United States . a man who tuts a
fainfi baling any oath tin the Cons itution j and ivho probably xvifh
es that ah oaths we/ tentßated from it. May it not be ajked ivbe
\her a greater Jarce could be afttdy th*n for the Chief Ju/liee to
aJr*'*ifi'T&n oath to fab ti me#. Men ivho believe in the Chrif
| fj in religion , generally consider an orfb lindnjr ; but it seems a
Dei ft thinks them altogether fyperfuous. What ivo/ldbe the ftu
ition ef fcirty in a felv yean, ivere at I our public officers Deijls ?
Would not thepeople twn Drif t also, and kick the Chris ian religion
out of doors '( In the natr.c of that Reli ion, then, let all ivho
regard it. use their ins nence th promoting the choiee of such Elect
ors as iv ill give US A CHRISTIAN f RESIDENT.
Who arc the men so anxious to get Jffirfon e
le&ed president ? ,
The old antifederalifls —the men who have even
tppnjtd the government of, the country —the men
who have always oVje£Ved to the establishment ef
public credit —the mem who opposed the Piefident's
proclamation of neutrality—who fupporttd Genet—
who promoted 'War —who opposed Mr. Jay's pacific .
million—-who fomented the weflern infurreliion —
who ftrived to violate the pledged faith of the na
tion and dejlrofour nationalcharußer ?
What are the people of America then to expect
from the administration of a chief magiflrate, uftier
ed into office under such aujpices ? f
In Fauchet , s intercepted letter, this foreign agent,
laments, very pathetically, that the western infur
re&ion had failed, by exploding too soon, and too
partially, before the enemies of the government had '
' ftifficiently matured their schemes. He then re
commends Jejfcr/on as a true patriot, and one whom
the patriots have fixed on for president; and ad
vises the French government te consult with Mon
roe, who could give the history of other chara&ers.
Fauchit also tells the French executive that he could,
with a few theufand dollars, have decided the im
portant queflion of civil war or peace sot the
United States.—Query. How much the pretended j
patriots will now demand te decide the important j
queflion, who (hall be president ?
Mr. Fenno, 1
A PARAGRAPH in the Aurora of Wednef- '
day, following so soon citizen Adet's note, publish- *
ed in that paper of Moacay, is a faithful comment t
, on that note ; the Aurora threatens us with -war a
from France, if we ele<S John Adams, president. v
What does this prove but that the note was calcu- h
lated, at the present jumfture, to excite that alarm, P
and thus to influence the ekttion. And will the real *
»nd independent Americans be so crouching as to r
have a president forced upon them by such daring
manoeuvres ? Is rot such a proceeding fufficient to °
alarm us for our liberties, and to roufe'that inde- f)
pendent spirit for which true American* are diftin - a
guifhed ? ft
What, if the Br'uifh minifler had pirblffhed at '1
the present juncture, a note endeavoring to alarm c
our fears about war ; and a newspaper, known to
be devoted to that minister, were immediately to °
threaten us with war, if we did not eledl as prcfi- t ]
dent, the candidate declared to be mod agreeable o
to that nation ? And does it make any difference, 0
at to our independence, whether the attempt comes 11
1 from oi)e nation or another ? Citizens of America, n
beon your guard, this is the crifu, when foreign P
powers will make th<ir great effort to secure a lafl
itig influence ova* your Affairs and direct your go- l \
VERNMENT. Do you wifli to become a department tl
of Fiance, and to be virtually ruled by comm'iffa- g
ries, through a nominal president ? tl

have been handed to the public, and circulated ivith unusual indufiry, "
under the signature of Americatlus, and dated at jjoiten. 7'his
absurd forgery, ■which carries-with itfeff the means of detain,
■was actually fabricated in this city, at the table ef a "noted fpecu- '
lator. As bis paper fiands at about tbc fame value -with French "
jiJJignats, he no doubt feels a kind offymf athy ; and is probably de- 1
Jrous to rid himfef of his pecuniary emharraffments by the fame
means they have ufei—plundprapine and blfod. The company tc
that affjlriin this eompofttion, -will naturally be fupfofed of the ti

his opinion of (he African people may be fcen in the folloivinr j pi

im- SIR, j
the have the honour to acknowledge the receipt ©f j
•ded your note of the s?th n,t- cover ' n g a decree of the <
Executive Direaory of the French republic, concern- f
ing the commerce of neutral nations c
This decree makes no diftintfiion between neutral a
powers who can claim only the rights secured to them i
by the law of nations, and others, between whom and ]
lf f. the V'reneh republic treaties have imposed special obli- 1
ifh- E atlons - Where no treaties exist, the republic, by
ent ! ClZln / and eonfifcat,r, g «he property of their enemies, t
found on board neutral vessels, would only exercise an r
acknowledged right under the law of nations, If to- t
ward » such neutral nations tfee French republic has for- o
cu. borne to exercise this right, the forbearance has been fl
■m, perfectly gratuitous. The United States, by virtue of
fa | their treaty of commerce with France, stand on diife
to rent ground.
In the year France voluntarily entered into a
» commercial Jreaty with us, on principles of perfeift re
eiproerty ; .W expreftly fitting, that f rie
e ' Jhould make free goods That is, if France should br
io- at war with any nation with whom the United States
should be at peace, the goods (except contraband) and
at the persons of her enemies (i'aldiers in a&ual service 1
rm exce P ted) found on board die vessels of the United v
to St * tes : wc ' e .!° from capture. That, on the V
other hand, if the United States should engage in war
with any nation, while prance remained at peace J
then the goods (except contraband) and the perfohs of C
ble our enemies ( soldiers in axSfual service excep-ed ) found U
ce, on board Frfnch vessels, were also to be free from can (
, es ture. This is plainly expressed in the twenty-third ar
tide of that treaty, and demonstrates, that ihe reci-
• procity thereby stipulated, was to operate at differ,-nt
n periods—That is, at one time in favour of cneof the ai
J eomtrafting parties, and of the other at another time <!■
O" the P re / en ' tin J e . the United States being at peace! ft
ent they possess, by the treaty, the right of carrying the
r a - goods of the enemies of France, without fubre<Sine
them to capture. But what do the spirit of the decree "
of the Execiifive Diredory, and the current of your ,
observations, require ? That'the United States should Ia
now gritu.toufly renounce .his right. And what rea
«», »ffig"«d tor denying to us the enjoyment of this U
>ry, ht ? /, our own words turnifh the answer. « France, le
'hi, r "»J United States, could find only a tl

You are also pleased te refer to your letters of March
:d 4 and April, last, relative to imprrfles of American sea
men by Britilh shins ; and complain, that the govern
:to ment of the United States had not made known to you
the steps they }>ad taken to obtain fatisfatftion- This,
lir, was a matter wiich concerned only that govern
ment. As an independent nation, we were ndt bound
. to render an account to any other, of the roeafures we
io j. deemed preptr for the of our own citizens,
ol _ so long as there was not the slightest ground to fufpedl
ona that thegoverimient ever aequiefced in any aggression. '
But permit-to recur to the lubjedl of the decree
lfe- ps the Executive Directory.
na - As before observed, we are officially informed, that
' re ~ the Biitilh government have ififod no new orders for
capturi#g the vefielsof the United States. We are also
Q d n " official!/ informed, that on the appearance of the noti- j
fication of that decree, the minifler of the United ! '
States at Paris, applied foi information, " whether or- | ]
en, " ders were ill'ued for the fejzure of neutral veilels, and j
ave " was that no such order was ifiued ; and |
lall " further, that none such would be iflued, in cafe the ,
f " rl —— * seize our veflels." This eommunica- .
' nd tion from the minifterof the United States at Paris, to \
we their minister in London, was dated the jßth if Au- ,
)ur *»«•' ut t^le decree °f the Directory bears date the <
ro- 'f tll Mcffider, aufwering to the id of July. These i
en- circumstances, together with some observations in your
ly note, leave the American government in a state of un
:es, certainty of the real intentions of the government 6f
er, France. All»w nie, then, to a®, whether, in the ac
the tual state of things, our commerce is considered as Ha
lf- ble to ftiffer any new* reSridfions on the part of the
in ° French republic*.' Whether the re/TVainrt now excrcifed ]
by the Britilh government are considered as of a nature
t k e to juftify a denial of those rights which are pledged to
us by our treaty with your nation ? Whether orders
■hy have been adluatly given to the ships of war and priva- 1
sice teers of the French republic to capture the vessels' of
the United States? And what, if they exist, are the
pre<*ife ternts of those orders ?
_ 1 hefe questions, fir, you will fee are highly interest- i
tng to the United Stares. It is with extreme concern
that the government finds hfel. reduced to the necessity -
of a/king an explanation of.t his nature ; and if itfliall I
be informed that anew line of condutf is to be adapted ]
towards this countrv, on the ground of the Decree re- 1
terredto its surprize will equal its regret, that prisci- l
ef pies fhoul J now be questioned, which, after repeated
he discussions, both here and m France, have been deraon
n- itratea to be founded, as we conceive, in the 1
ons of impartial neutrality, of stipulations by treaty ]
a' and o f law of nations. I hope, lir, you will find '
m it convenient, by an early anfvrer, to remove the fuf- (
id penie in which the Government of the United States is
li- bow hcid on the questions above stated.
>y I shall close this letter by one remark on the fineulari- ,
s, !y of your causing the publication of your note. As it
m concerned the United States, it was properly a'ldreffed '
a- to its government, to which alone pertained the right
r- of con,rrain,eating it in such time and manner as it -
:n mould think fit, to the citizens of the United States.
